Charlotte Health-Conscious 50s-60s Singles

Health Conscious Gang! SPRING/SUMMER SEASON HOURS - 9:00 AM

Join us for this recurring meetup for two Sundays per month:
1st Sunday at Matthews Elementary School, Matthews, NC
3rd Sunday at Riverwalk, Rock Hill, SC

Meet and greet other HCM (Health-Conscious Meetup) members! Don your comfortable sneakers and join in.

We will gather at 9:00 a.m. at "Blend Riverwalk," a go-to-spot for fresh, healthy meals and drinks (just meeting here) and then enjoy "Riverwalk" alongside the beautiful Catawba River in Rock Hill, S.C.!

Thank you Susan Schroeder for introducing another location for our Walk-N-Talk at Riverwalk!!

This beautifully-paved walkway along the Catawba River is steeped in history with spectacular views that will take your breath away. Enjoy benches and a public restroom too.

We will walk the Riverwalk (approximately) a 4.5-mile round trip (to Bridge and back) and then RETURN to "Blend Riverwalk" to gather for healthy food or drink!

Meet and greet other HCM members! Don your comfortable sneakers and join in.

Afterwards join us for refreshments at "Blend Riverwalk." This casual, family-owned shop has a menu with health-conscious meals and smoothies!

Enjoy time with other HCM. Go fast or slow (although still trying to stay as a group). Just a great, healthy way to chat and meet people.

While we love and enjoy dogs, for our walk, please keep pets at home to be mindful of the pace.

Disclaimer:
By participating in any of our events, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

This is an intermediate-level walking event. Members should be in reasonably good health and able to walk at a steady, moderate-to-brisk pace for the duration of each meetup. Please consult your physician before participating if you have any medical conditions, limitations, or concerns.
All activities are voluntary and you participate at your own risk. The group organizers, hosts, and members are not responsible for any injuries, health complications, or damages that may occur before, during, or after any walk or related activity.
By joining our events, you agree to take responsibility for your own safety, stay aware of your surroundings, use good judgment, and choose activities appropriate for your fitness level.

We’re here to promote health, connection, and fun — safely. If you’re unsure whether this group is the right fit, feel free to reach out. We’re happy to help guide you.

Join me for a meaningful and eye‑opening learning experience as we explore the MAHA Movie together — a 9‑episode series filled with thought‑provoking ideas and powerful insights.

We’ll meet twice a week for four weeks, settling into an easy Tuesday/Thursday rhythm at the beautiful Belle Johnson Community Center in Pineville. Each time we gather, we’ll listen to one episode together, with each episode running about an hour. It’s simple, steady, and spacious — the perfect pace for learning, reflecting, and connecting without rushing.

It’s an easy pace, and the goal is simply to learn, reflect, and enjoy the experience in good company.

I’ll be honest — I hesitated to share this movie because some parts may feel bold or outside the mainstream. And if you know me, you know I’m not here to stir controversy. My heart and my purpose remain exactly what they were when I started HCM three years ago: to bring health‑minded people together, to learn, to connect, and to have fun — safely, respectfully, and with open hearts.

If you feel curious, open, or simply want to be part of a thoughtful learning experience, I’d love for you to join me.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! -- HERE'S AN OUTLINE OF EACH SCHEDLED DATE WITH RESPECTIVE EPISODE:

Tuesday – 5/26/26 – Episode 1:
The Medical Industrial Complex: A Success Story
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lays out a sweeping, deeply unsettling history of how America’s health system drifted from healing to profit - and why chronic disease has exploded across every generation.

Thursday – 5/28/26 – Episode 2:
Prescription Nightmare: A New Villain
This chapter pulls back the curtain on one of the least understood - and most powerful - forces in American healthcare.
This chapter explains how PBMs, originally created to lower drug prices, have become profit engines for insurance companies and Big Pharma.

Tuesday – 6/2/26 – Episode 3:
Rethinking Cancer: The Hidden Pathways to Hope
This chapter explores cancer not as a rogue enemy, but as a signal - an expression of systemic imbalance rooted in metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, toxicity, trauma, and loss of biological resilience. Instead of asking only “How do we kill cancer cells?”, it asks the more fundamental question mainstream medicine often avoids: “Why did cancer arise at all?”

Thursday – 6/4/26 – Episode 4:
The Brain Under Siege: From "Incurable" to Regenerated
This chapter follows a son’s search for answers after his mother is diagnosed with Lewy body dementia - and expands into a sweeping investigation of why neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are rising at unprecedented rates. Rather than accepting these conditions as inevitable consequences of aging, the film examines them as largely preventable, environmentally driven disorders that develop decades before symptoms appear.

Tuesday – 6/9/26 – Episode 5:
Quack! The Conspiracy Against Chiropractic
This chapter traces how chiropractic medicine was systematically targeted by organized medicine throughout the 20th century, culminating in a landmark antitrust victory that exposed efforts to “contain and eliminate” the profession. Despite the legal win, decades of misinformation, insurance discrimination, and cultural stigma continue to shape public perception.

Thursday – 6/11/26 – Episode 6:
The Miracle of Self Repair
This chapter tells extraordinary recovery stories: catastrophic spinal injuries that avoided permanent paralysis, joints spared from replacement, chronic pain reversed, and quality of life restored through regenerative therapies. At the center is a simple biological truth - your body already contains stem cells whose job is to detect damage, reduce inflammation, and initiate healing.

Tuesday – 6/14/26 – Episode 7:
700 Toxins: What’s In Your Body and How to Get it Out
This chapter traces the explosive rise in chronic disease, infertility, hormonal disruption, neurodegeneration, and fatigue to a growing chemical burden carried by nearly every adult and child. From lead, mercury, and aluminum to glyphosate, microplastics, phthalates, and petroleum-derived compounds, viewers learn how toxins accumulate in fat, bone, and cell membranes - quietly damaging mitochondria, hormones, immunity, and brain function over decades.

Thursday – 6/18/26 – Episode 8:
The MAHA Toolkit: 4 Secrets to Reclaiming Your Health
This chapter brings together cutting-edge biohacking, ancestral wisdom, and spiritual insight to redefine longevity as healthspan - the ability to stay active, clear-minded, emotionally grounded, and engaged with life for as long as possible. Rather than chasing extreme life extension, it focuses on building resilient biology that supports decades of vitality.

Tuesday – 6/23/26 – Episode 9 (LAST):
The Chronic Crisis: Lyme, Ozone, and A New Theory of Disease
This chapter examines a healthcare system overwhelmed by chronic disease - and structurally incapable of solving it. Despite advanced technology and pharmaceutical sophistication, 85–90% of Americans now suffer from metabolic dysfunction, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, or unresolved illness. Patients bounce from specialist to specialist, collecting diagnoses, prescriptions, and frustration - without answers.
Integrative medicine offers a different model.

The MAHA Movie was created by award-winning filmmaker Jeff Hays.
