Dark To Light

 Hello Natural Health Family! I imagine everyone enjoyed themselves at least some during the past weekend. I have been contemplating the health of our country and even the world. It comes up in discussion here and there for various reasons when talking to others. Let’s then discuss a way of seeing health and illness to gain a different perspective. 

When you think of health and illness what do you think? You may think of a virus, a flu, a cold, or friends or relatives suffering from certain health related issues. It could be the many dis-eases that are commonly found in the country. Or perhaps the different establishments that are associated with health including offices and hospitals. Nonetheless, many times our minds will go to the illness rather than the health. We hear about sickness and issues all the time on social platforms including television. We see the commercials about how this drug can help with this issue, the latest product on helping with this problem, or the suffering of people with certain conditions. Not only is the media impressing on us about the illness, but our minds tend to be directed to the negative aspects. This is due to a survival instinct that was helpful in the past but not so much in this day and age. 


So what if we switched our view and let ourselves see life differently. Many times people think about illness as a condition that we get that is due to a chemical imbalance, old age, or that we were made with incorrect “blueprints.” This may be due to the education back then or what we thought of previously. However, new research and evidence is showing otherwise. When learning a new understanding we are able to realize that our health and healing is much more attainable than we thought. Our bodies are amazing at what they do and with the new information available we can realize that we can take action to help ourselves. We can let go of our previous limits and embrace a new understanding of health. 


When the country with the best technology in the world is last when it comes to overall health, it starts to force people to ask why. For many years we have been so focused on the problems that may or may not cause health issues. However, when we switch our focus on our own power and ability to attain health we will start to see a great change. Let’s not figure out why the room is dark but rather flip the switch and let the light shine.


Have a great week! 


Dr. Chip

Most People Don't Reach Micronutrient Requirements Through Food Alone

  STORY AT-A-GLANCE Most adolescents are not getting adequate nutrient intake from diet alone — a finding confirmed from other studies in developed countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and Germany Three-quarters of adolescents consumed less than 54% of the recommended amounts of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and dairy products Nearly three-quarters of the youth exceeded the recommended limit for sweet and salty snacks — by 453% When nutrient intake was considered from diet alone, adolescents often consumed less than recommended amounts of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E along with the water-soluble vitamins folate, biotin and pantothenic acid The use of dietary supplements helped to increase the adolescents’ intake of vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium and vitamin C, but this isn’t a replacement for a healthy, nutrient-rich diet While it’s possible to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs by eating a healthy diet, most people fall short.

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...

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...
