A Decade of Healthy Vibes

We will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Guts and Glory Digestive and Wellness Expo on Saturday, September 23, from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. at Penn State Berks, 1801 Broadcasting Road, Reading. The Expo was originally created in 2013 and hosted by non-profit My Gut Instinct, Inc. with 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 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.
