About us
This group provides learning opportunities, resources, support, and motivation for anyone on the journey to healthy nutrition and lifestyle.
Salient Lifestyle Center was established in 2021 by Ashwani Garg, M.D., Terri Dallas, M.D., and Gabriel Bardan to restore people's total well-being through evidence-based lifestyle education by providing programs and organizing events in Northwestern Chicagoland and beyond.
The literal meaning of the Latin verb "SALIENT" (future tense, third person, plural) vividly encapsulates our vision for those who graduate from our programs or attend our events: They "WILL JUMP" (as of joy), "WILL LEAP" (advance in life by leaps and bounds), and "WILL SPRING UP" (to a better life).

The Sleep Gap
·OnlineOnlineIf you’ve noticed your sleep changing during perimenopause or menopause, you’re not alone. You aren't imagining it!
In this workshop, with sleep specialist Valerie Cacho, MD, you will learn why sleep becomes harder during midlife.We will explore how shifting hormones, lifestyle, and stress play a role. You will learn to understand what your body needs for better well-being.
You will discover how to take an active role in improving your rest. We will show you how to track symptoms and spot patterns. You will also learn why ruling out underlying sleep conditions is an important step.
Finally, you will learn research-based tools that make a real difference. These include simple mind-body techniques that naturally support better sleep. You will leave with achievable steps to help you rest and restore your energy so you can feel more like yourself again.
