As a graduate of Trinity College of Natural Health, Dr. Brookshire is a Classical Naturopath, Doctor of Naturopathic Ministry, and Master Herbalist with an office in The Poconos. She has created the HIV/AIDS prevention program entitled, "Scared Straight: What You Don't Know About AIDS Can Kill You".

 LaJoyce Brookshire is also the best-selling author of the novels Soul Food (that was based on the smash hit movie), suspense drama Web of Deception, and her latest release the memoir Faith Under Fire: Betrayed By A Thing Called Love.

Speaking Topics:

Topic Information:

"If Your Doctor Is So Smart, Why Are You So Sick?"

An in-depth look at western medicine and the doctors who ‘practice’ medicine on their sick patients with an additional prescription at each office visit. From cancer, to diabetes, to fibromyalgia, there are basic scientific answers to why an illness takes over the body in the first place that has been overlooked by traditional doctors.

"Yes…You ARE What You Eat"

A colorful, yet persuasive discussion concerning the fact that we ARE what we eat. Our entire existence is part of a glorious cycle that the Creator has set in motion. What we eat, what we do or don't eliminate, what we drink, and our sleep is all part of the process. Living healthy is OUR choice.

"If Mama is Broken, The Whole House is Sick" 

This lecture helps women understand that staying well begins with them. Presented are ways to consider healthier lifestyles and how to introduce better food choices to the whole family.

"Is Your Home Healthy?" 

A close examination of cleaning and personal care items in the home that make us sick. Presented will be natural alternatives to traditional products that have unbelievingly led to traditional sickness and disease.

 
Teens/Students/Young Adults - HIV Education Program - "Scared Straight: What you don't know about HIV CAN kill you!" 

This is a program specifically designed for teens and young adults to SHOW them the ugliness of STDs, STIs, and HIV.

It is time we stopped talking about it and rolled the video tape. Risky behavior is continued because no one has ever seen the ugliness we keep saying exists.

This program is graphic in nature but is designed to reach the teen/young adult who is considering entering sexual relations. The one who is already engaging in relations and get them to convert to abstinence and to begin to understand what it means to have abstinence as a solid choice they can live with until marriage.

Women - "What Every Woman Should Know" 

Discusses marrying a man who knew he had HIV but didn't tell her, the miracle in being HIV-negative, and not knowing that he was on the down-low until he was dead. A source of information for women of all ages and encourages young women to empower themselves with information before engaging in sex and before becoming a statistic, with a 200-question challenge.

 

Christian Audiences - "How Will You Stand With Your Faith Under Fire?" 

Discusses marrying a man who knew he had HIV but didn't tell her, the miracle in being victoriously HIV-negative and stood on her faith while she honored the wedding vow "in sickness and in health" while she cared for him until his death. Dr. Brookshire encourages audiences to empower themselves with information before saying "I do", and before becoming a statistic, with a 200-question challenge.
