Tune in tonight...)

Special guest Dr. Jennifer Ashton will be discussing the rollout of the COVID vaccine as Rabbi Adina Lewittes and Dan Nadel return for GroundWaves: Rooted Torah/Soaring Music on Monday night, January 4th from 8:30-9:30pm for their weekly evening of beautiful music and heartfelt teachings.

Dr. Jennifer Ashton is a physician, author, and television correspondent. She is chief health and medical editor and chief medical correspondent for ABC News and Good Morning America, chief women's health correspondent for The Dr. Oz Show, and a columnist for Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Retiring stiff paper gowns and unrelatable medical advice, Dr. Jennifer Ashton, a Board-certified Ob-Gyn, author and TV medical correspondent, breaks the barrier between doctor and patient. Affectionately referred to as your all-in-one ‘BFF’/Ob-Gyn, Dr. Jennifer Ashton marries an unparalleled medical background with an accessible ‘girl’s-girl’ attitude. Though Dr. Ashton can easily speak to the latest beauty and fashion trends, this Ivy League graduate means business when it comes to women’s health.

Save the date! You won’t want to miss it!

Join by Zoom (PM us) or Facebook Live (Adina Lewittes' page). Please share with friends and family! We look forward to spending another night together!

THRILLED that my latest book, The Self-Care Solution is an Amazon Best Seller, but MORE thrilled that people are excited about participating in this 1 year of monthly health challenges with me! These are easy, fun, cheap challenges that you can do anytime and anywhere.

Life After Suicide: Finding Courage, Comfort & Community After Unthinkable Loss

Proud to announce that my book, Life After Suicide, is available for pre-order now. In the book, I share the stories of myself and many other people whose lives were changed forever by the suicide death of a loved one. Unfortunately, there is so much myth, misinformation, ignorance, shame, blame, anger and stigma surrounding suicide and mental illness. This book explains how it is possible to honor the spirit of the person who died and heal with comfort and courage, and I hope it brings those suffering in the shadows, into the light. Now that suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US, everyone knows someone who has been affected. Pre-order link is here >>>
