Changes In The Weather

 Hello all you great members of the Natural Health Family. I imagine you were able to soak up some sun during your weekend. As spring is upon us we start to see new life. Spring time is the end of old and the start of new beginnings. Many times we can get caught into thinking that it’s just the way things are or that old dogs can’t learn new tricks. Well sometimes it takes us to unlearn so that we can relearn. As with nature and the changing of seasons, it takes a change in our understanding to allow for a healthier life. 

Many times people think of change as a negative thing. Although it is good to have a structure and routine to stay organized, change is what helps us to grow. As with many aspects of life including understanding, physical movement, diet, business, etc. change is needed for us to grow and adapt to the world we live in. Just like a caterpillar appears to pass away when in the process of changing into a butterfly, it is only a step into new life. Now one thing you may not know is that if you were to break or tear apart the chrysalis (the encasing covering the caterpillar during the transformation stage) and try to help it out it would actually die. It is the caterpillar's effort to break free that strengthens the wings to fly. Change can feel great and it may also bring struggle. When we know that it is part of the process ultimately to get to where we are going we can embrace the change with more ease. 


Have you ever learned a new skill? Maybe you learned how to play a sport, ride a bike, play an instrument, a way to build something, drawing a picture, etc. What does it feel like at the beginning? When starting out it feels different, uncomfortable, perhaps a struggle. However, as you get better and better you start to enjoy it more. It starts to become easier and you feel like you can do it without thinking about all the details. You start to become more like the person that has those skills rather than one who is still learning them. 


Although this world may appear to have much sickness in it we can embrace the change towards one that is filled with health. With a better understanding and practicing health rather than sickness, we can start to shift our ways. Many may think, based on much misinformation, that sickness is normal. It is time to unlearn what we have previously thought and relearn that it is normal to be healthy.


Enjoy your week.

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...
