Body Love Café
Functional Medicine is a cutting-edge approach to health care that combines modern scientific research and clinical wisdom to get to the ROOT CAUSE of the chronic illnesses so many of us face. This includes thyroid health, sleep issues, stress, weight issues, hormone imbalances, gut health, blood sugar dysregulation, brain fog, mood disorders, chronic pain and more—it’s a whole-body, holistic health approach.
At Body Love Cafe you’ll find a team of practitioners that works collaboratively including doctors, body workers, and health coaches. Their menu of services includes Functional Medicine, nutrition, Chinese Medicine, physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, therapeutic massage, reposturing, non-invasive allergy care, holistic fertility, energy medicine & emotional wellness, pelvic floor therapy, weight loss programs and more.
All their practitioners are not just tending to symptoms, but looking “upstream” and asking, “Why is this happening?” Each practitioner works to initiate change at the source of the problem, employing a wide variety of western and eastern techniques. Their holistic model looks at the physical body along with mind, emotion and spirit components.
They are committed to educating the public on “how” their body works so they may feel empowered in their health and have more productive conversations with all their health care providers. To that end, they offer free classes and a free weight loss plus hormone-balancing challenge a few times a year. While most clinics charge $1,000 for this service, they provide it for free and include meal plans and optional weigh-ins and support group meetings.

Natural Health and Wellness Center, Inc.
Maintaining health is even more challenging in today’s world with the chemicals, metals, and radiation that we’re exposed to in our foods, lifestyle, and environment. Valerie Ozsu opened Natural Health, and Wellness Center, Inc. because she wanted to incorporate her 42 years in advanced nursing, kinesiology and nutritional education to design individualized programs to help men, women, and children. Her restorative medicine practice seeks to find the cause, and discover how to reverse a person’s illness, rather than just recognizing and treating the symptoms as in traditional medical practices. Dynamics in illness and healing requires that a person understands how to reverse the cause(s) of their disease whether it be nutritional, physical, emotional or any combination of these.
Valerie’s mission is to educate, reverse health challenges, and promote longevity without or in conjunction with a person’s medical care. She is very knowledgeable in hormone balancing for men and women, utilizes hair analysis, a variety of specialized labs, thermography (a non-radiation form of breast cancer screening), and she recently added neurofeedback in her clinic. In addition, she works with clients on allergy clearing, reversing diabetes, hypertension, lipidemia, thyroid disease, and digestion issues. Valerie also designs individual detoxification and purification programs using only organic whole food supplements, herbs, homeopathies and treatments including: PEMF, Cold Laser, infrared saunas, and foot detox baths.

Hospice of the East Bay
Hospice East Bay, a 43-year-old hospice pioneer, provides comfort, support, and care for those in their final stages of life, as well as for their loved ones. In doing so, it seeks to strengthen its role as a community leader in hospice and palliative care—which focuses on symptom and suffering relief, and grief support––and to build an environment of collaboration, celebration, opportunity and growth, as they embrace the changes their patient’s experience.
Established in 1977 by community volunteers to create support for patients who wanted to die at home, Hospice East Bay has since then been privileged to provide comfort, support, and care for more than 30,000 patients and their families. Its mission is to care for patients through the end of life, easing fear and suffering, while also ensuring that patients and families retain dignity and control over their personal choices, Rico Marcelli, a spokesman for the firm said.
Hospice East Bay has grown to include many programs and services, he said.
In addition to its core hospice care, the firm offers palliative care, inpatient hospice care, and grief support for the entire community. Hospice East Bay also operates a chain of six Hospice Thrift Shoppes throughout Contra Costa County to raise funds for special programs and charity care, a volunteer program, and opportunities for careers in hospice.
Hospice East Bay’s inpatient care home, called Bruns House, combines inpatient hospice care for those requiring acute symptom management in a type of privacy and quiet not found in a hospital, with intensive round-the-clock care that cannot easily be achieved at home.
The East Bay’s only inpatient hospice house, Bruns House has cared for more than 3,000 patients and their family members, Marcelli said.

Syar Foundation
The Syar Foundation was founded by C.M. “Tony” Syar and his wife B.M. “Boots” Syar as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in 1998. It was their gift to the communities where Syar Industries, Inc. operated and grew into the company that it is today. Tony Syar started the company that became Syar Industries in California in 1938 with a contractor’s license, some tools, and a 1932 International dump truck. From this humble beginning and through untiring work, Tony, with Boots always at this side, built highways, and developed housing tracts, built and improved military bases, and manufactured countless yards of concrete and tons of aggregate products. By the time Tony retired, he had built Syar Industries, Inc. into one of Northern California’s largest producers and suppliers of high-quality aggregate rock products, asphaltic paving materials, and ready-mix concrete. Much like Tony himself, the Syar Foundation started modestly. In 2001, however, Tony made his final act of generosity by leaving his entire estate, representing a lifetime of hard work, to the Syar Foundation, increasing its size and impact on the community exponentially. Consistent with the wishes of Tony and Boots, the Syar Foundation seeks to support the communities that supported Tony, Boots, and Syar Industries for so many years. Since 2006, the Syar Foundation has made over $4.5 million in grants.
