Home Sweet Home

 Hello Natural Health Family. We had an amazing weekend celebrating the wedding of my brother and now wife in California. It was great being able to spend time with family and friends that I haven’t been able to see in a long while. Many times people can get caught up in the business of traveling and doing what needs to be done for all the work needed for a wedding. We all know how it can seem stressful during these times. However, when it is all said and done we look back to wonder why we stressed out so much in the first place. Much of the time it is a matter of being able to relax and let life unfold. 

I am sure many of us have heard the phrase, “home is where you make it.” This can seem like a cheesy phrase from a movie but it can have great effects on the way we live. When we are at home we feel safe, more relaxed, and able to do what we need to do. So when we feel at home in other areas such as all the way in California we can start to let events unfold. Of course we don’t want to be careless about our belongings or act in certain ways that are not suitable for the environment. Nonetheless, we can practice being in this state of mind which allows our own bodies to be in a state of ease. There may have been events or circumstances in the past that we felt anxious or overwhelmed about because of something that happened. However, it is up to us to be able to retrain the way we see events and know that there is nothing to be afraid or feel bad for. We must be able to let it go so that we can live life more where we are at. 


Weddings along with other events may have some bumps along the way but that is what can make it memorable. Looking back and being able to laugh at all the little things that would have stressed us out before can be a fun experience. When it comes to future events or daily life, when we know that there can be ups and downs then we are not so concerned when something supposedly goes wrong. We are able to reframe the situation and shift knowing that it may have been needed to redirect us to a different more helpful path. 


Although where we live can be nice to get back to and relax, the world can be our home. As we are able to appreciate all the good in life and what is in front of us, we can feel more at ease even though we may be going through big life events. We can’t control everything, but we can control how we respond in our environment and choose how to interact. So whether you may be at home or far from it physically, know that you have the power and choice to be home with a little change in how we see it.


Thanks for reading.

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...
