Celebrating Over A Decade of Guts and Glory Digestive and Wellness Expo

from My Gut Instinct

We will celebrate the Te-Leventh anniversary of the Guts and Glory Digestive and Wellness Expo on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Penn State Berks campus, 1801 Broadcasting Road, Reading. The Expo was originally created in 2013 and hosted by the nonprofit My Gut Instinct, Inc., with the title sponsor Penn State Health St. Joseph Medical Center.

Guts and Glory Digestive and Wellness Expo is a free community-wide celebration of health for all ages that showcases a farmers’ market, educational booths, fresh locally sourced food, fitness zones, yoga, massage, and wellness experts, to name a few features. Over 100 vendors in attendance span all dimensions of health and well-being to engage the attendees (Wellness Warriors) with interactive demonstrations. This year, we are excited to have a 20’ MEGA Colon exhibit, which provides visitors with an interactive, educational experience of stepping through a large-scale model of the human colon that highlights common disease conditions. We celebrate the spirit of health and wellness at our event and encourage our visitors to find inspiration at Guts and Glory to take an active role in their own well-being all year long.

This family-friendly event is designed to educate the health curious, elevate the understanding of the health conscious, and raise community awareness of the importance of digestive health and overall wellness through the exchange of information and resources. “We aim to provide people with health knowledge and empower them to take action to live healthier lives and become beautiful from the inside, out, because we believe beauty starts on the inside,” said founder Aparna Mele, M.D. “We also want to show the community that eating and living healthy is not only easy to do, but it can also be fun and delicious too!” Aparna Mele, M.D. is a board-certified gastroenterologist with U.S. Digestive Health. She came to the field of medicine with extensive experience in international relief work overseas and is actively involved in local philanthropic work directed toward patient education and the promotion of societal health.

Guts and Glory Digestive and Wellness Expo is a far-reaching, educationally inspiring, community-giving, and feel-good event held annually. The event has enjoyed extensive media coverage and public accolades for their health movement in the community. Numerous community sponsors and volunteers made the event possible.
