Love The Game

 Welcome back Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone had a good Super Bowl weekend regardless if you watched the game or not. Growing up playing years of football, I am of course familiar with the game. Also, being Valentine's Day, we can talk about heart and how it contributes to desired outcomes in life. Let’s talk about balance and how enjoying the process is important to achieving the goal. 

Have you ever heard of the underdog story? Or I might ask who hasn’t heard of the underdog story. You know the one where the matchup between two opponents seems at great odds but nevertheless the one that is supposedly not as good as the other opponent wins. It is the classic story that everyone likes because it sparks something within all of us. It shows us that it isn’t always about the person or team that has the most talent. It’s not always about who has the greatest strength or power. It’s not always about the person who knows the game well. Of course, those are key factors to win any competition. However, sometimes it requires a little extra. When the underdog reaches deep within and finds that he or she can go further than previously thought then the person is able to break the odds and beat the opponent. It is the process of breaking down self limits to overcome the so-called impossible. 


In any event in life we know that sometimes it requires the heart to push forward. Whether it’s in a sports competition, a setback in life due to circumstances, connecting with others, etc. we can see that the heart plays an important part. It’s when we get out of our heads and into our hearts we have the courage and strength to see what was not there before. We move from trying to figure out all of what could go wrong to knowing that we can do what is right and trust in ourselves. We start to trust in the process and enjoy the journey. Many people who play any sport sometimes have that realization that when they let go and just have fun is when they play their greatest game. We forget that when we fall in love with the process that things tend to work out for the better. 


Our hearts are an amazing part of our bodies. The human heart is responsible for transporting the blood to all cells of our bodies. It is constantly beating 24/7 without us thinking about it. It can help us gain great insight to many of the issues we may face today. It allows us to go from thinking about something to just knowing it. This week I encourage you to allow yourself to follow your heart more and see where it may be guiding you.


Thanks for reading.

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...
