Diet Month

 Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation -

      Well that weekend was more like it! It sure was nice to have a sunny weekend with warm temperatures. It was also nice to see if the snow melt away and hopefully we won't get a lot more, but it's still pretty early. Looking ahead in the forecast though,, it looks like the temperatures are going to rise. I think we're all ready to get out of the house and get outside in the sunshine and even play in the yard a little bit. I really like this time of year as it's all about getting the grass to Green up and enjoying the outdoors after a long cold winter. I'm sure we'll have some ups and downs for a while but at least we're headed in the right direction.  

     It's the beginning of March and we have changed our theme to that of Diet. At our health shop  this week, we will be talking about Digestion Essentials and it should be very interesting. I didn't find a great article that tied in with  this newsletter but the one I am enclosing looks at using light therapy to help the body in general, which should help with digestion. Light therapy is something folks don’t know much about. At Natural Health, we work with a lot of folks that  have digestion and gut issues. The diet that most people have contributes to a lot of yeast and bacterial overgrowth and lack of proper digestive ability. We have many good products to help patients with that and can mentor them in what foods work best for their body. You can take all the good nutrition in the world and eat all the right foods but if your digestion is off and you don't break down and absorb the nutrients, it's all for naught. Digestive problems can start as a  baby who has  colic and if not handled correctly, will work into all kinds of adult digestive issues like GERD and acid reflux, Etc. The digestive system is normally easy to fix if treated correctly because it  replaces itself  so often. There are many parameters that have to be right for it to work correctly and taking a drug like a proton pump inhibitor, ie – the purple pill, just makes the underlying problems worse. Just as a reminder, we do free consultations to help patients figure out what they need and we are here to help.

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...
