No Worries

 Welcome back Natural Health Family. I imagined everyone got to enjoy themselves by either having fun with others or working on projects for future activities. Many times when we get overwhelmed by what we have to do or everything that needs to get done we tend to become worried. Today let’s talk about how we can acknowledge worry and start to direct ourselves towards a better way of thinking. 

I think we can all agree that everyone may worry a little every now and then. Worry is an indicator that we are thinking about something that might happen poorly in the future based on what we have been through in the past. Imagine if you will if or when you had to give a speech in front of the class during school. The days and moments leading up to it you may have stressed out thinking about the many ways it could go wrong or how others would think of you based on your delivery of the speech. Some may worry about what grade they will get or how many um’s or uh’s they will say or even if they will get any words out at all. All in all it is not until they start doing it does the worry and/or fear start to diminish. We can see that when we actually do the activity that we don’t have the time to keep thinking about what will happen and just experience what is happening now. It was the very thinking about the task that was causing the worry to be experienced.


Worry can cause us to start thinking and feeling negatively about the future. This is due to our minds reasoning what could possibly happen based upon what we have experienced in the past. However, if we think back we start to understand that many things tend to work out in the end even if we did fail to do what we wanted at the time. Excessive worry can cause our brains and bodies to become unbalanced lending towards having certain health issues. Therefore, when we start to worry we can take time to take a breath and direct our thinking towards more of a hopeful future by remembering where we are at today despite all of the shortcomings that have happened before. 


It appears that there are many things in life that we may worry about from home life to national life to what this planet is going through. However, many things are outside of our control and we can realize that what we can’t control would be nonsense to worry about. We can do our best with what we know and offer help to others when appropriate. Remember, worrying doesn’t solve the problem so we can choose to take a breath and do whatever it is we can control and let life fill in the rest.

Good Food, Digestion and Absorption

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-                 I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and were actually grateful for all the food that we ate. There is a lot of good foods in the Thanksgiving meal, but also some that probably weren’t the best for us. We will just have to get back on the good eating bandwagon so that we stay healthy through the rest of these holidays coming up. I try to remind people to stay hydrated because it’s easy to forget to drink water and get your electrolytes. Staying hydrated just helps so many systems of the body and helps the pH to stay correct, which helps keep the bugs, which are in us and on us at all times, under control.                 We had a great Black Friday Open House/Patient Appreciation Day and were very thankful for the folks that came out and enjoyed some food and drink, an...

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...

  Hello everyone and natural health Nation -      Well we finally got some rain and now I’m beginning to wonder if we could turn it back off. It seems we're never happy - ha. I was surprised to see that the ground had dried out that much in a fairly short amount of time but with the rain we had this weekend, everything should be good for quite a while. I was happy to see the grass and everything green back up and the corn and beans are just growing like mad. We were working out in the rain on Saturday to finish some jobs and it was nice that it was warm. I'm sure we'll get lots of sunshine as the summer progresses and probably need more rain at some point too.      The article I'm sending along today looks at what happens to the human body when you eat processed foods. This is a problem during the summer when everyone gets into vacation mode and doesn't eat nearly as well as they did in the Spring. It's one of our problems in o...
