Health is Normal

 Hello Natural Health Family. I hope you all had a great weekend. Today’s topic will focus on health being our natural state of being. We typically think it is normal to have health issues because it is common in today’s world. There may be multiple reasons for this but when we consider the idea that our bodies are amazing and are healing all the time then we can ask ourselves what is causing the health issues that are apparent in the world. 

When we eat right, drink right, think right and move our bodies, we are keeping our bodies in a good mode to heal and function properly. When we do the right things most of the time then we can adapt to the stress in our lives. The more we help ourselves the better we can help others. Especially in these times it is paramount to keep our bodies healthy. When we start taking care of ourselves then our outlook on life becomes better. 


What are some things that have made people so unhealthy in our world? Let’s consider the foods we eat, how we move our bodies and the thoughts we think. Our ancestors farmed and ate what they could raise. So there was no going to the store and picking out the thousands of food options. Nowadays, people have forgotten how valuable whole foods are (foods found in nature) compared to the processed foods that are on the shelves. Now I am not saying that all those foods are bad. However, we should always try to incorporate whole natural foods into our eating. We have also lost natural movements of our bodies. For many years people had to walk a lot more which helped to naturally move their bodies. Today, many people don’t move as much and have too many conveniences not to move. Walking is such an underrated exercise but is  very beneficial to our health and well being. Lastly our thinking. Now our thoughts are much more powerful than we may think. Today, we are constantly bombarded with news, social media, commercials, hollywood drama, and many others. This causes us to have short attention spans and may cause us to react to many things. This is a recipe for health issues. When we are not able to control our thinking, then we are more prone to having negative thoughts about ourselves and life in general. This causes a snowball effect leading to feeling inadequate about our own health. We then tend to think and feel as though we are victims to our life and that we can’t do anything about it. This type of thinking has been going on for too long and it is time for a change. 


The world is changing faster than we ever could imagine. Now is the best time to consider your own health and how you want to live. When we are healthy we feel great and when we feel great we are able to enjoy even the little things in life. Our whole outlook on life changes from what’s the next bad thing that will happen to enjoying what is to come. If it helps, do something different and break your routine. This causes a shift in thinking to allow for new experiences. Have a great rest of the week and remember to count your blessings!

Breast Health

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-             Aren’t the trees beautiful? Fall is such a beautiful time of year and the weather has been outstanding. I hope you were able to get outside and increase your vitamin D stores for the winter. Remember that vitamin D is activated by sunlight so it’s important to get some. Vitamin D is also an oil soluble vitamin so you must be consuming good fats in order to have a good vitamin D source. If you get into the science of vitamin D, you’ll find it comes from cholesterol so the mainstream medicines war on cholesterol causes vitamin D levels to be low and this causes lots of immune system problems and other issues. We help our patients be able to digest and absorb fats and watch that their vitamin D levels are optimum.             The article I’m sending along this week looks at screenings and mammograms and how they can be...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right             I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not.     ...

Communication

  Natural Health Family, how is everyone doing? I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and got some sunshine. Today let’s talk about communication and why it is important in our lives and for our own health.  Last weekend I explored Colorado. I went snowboarding and hiked a good amount also. I learned a lot just by getting out in nature and noticing different aspects of the forest and parks. One characteristic of the forest that I found interesting was the aspen trees. It appeared that they would appear sporadically in the forest and in groups. I was curious and wanted to learn more about them. I found out that the different aspen trees or tree trunks are not separate but they actually function as one tree. The roots of the tree are well connected so that they are able to communicate and act as one organism. I found this interesting because we tend to think that the whole tree is only about what is on the surface of the ground rather than all the roots and connections...
