That’s The Spirit!

 Hello Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone is getting all ready for some celebrations. It’s that time of the year where we have more excuses to have more gatherings, have more fun, and appreciate the time we have together. Christmas, along with other holidays, are a way to bring back the spirit of living life more fully. The Christmas spirit can remind us of our fun nature to let go more and embrace what is now. 

I’m sure that when it comes to Christmas and that of other holidays everyone

sees it differently. Perhaps it reminds us of many great memories that we have had in the past, reminds us of those loved ones that are no longer with us, or a chance for a new opportunity to reconnect with family and friends. Whatever it may be, we have the ability to choose what Christmas means to us. Although it may be chaotic, it may seem like we have to do all these activities, or buy all the presents, we can always choose to see it differently. We can decide to embrace all the seemingly craziness of it all and make it a joyous celebration. The buying of all the presents, the wrapping the boxes, the spilled food, the tasty treats, the seemingly heated disputes, the long conversations, the confrontations, the loudness, the broken glass, the dropped ornaments, the joking, the laughing, the mishaps and wrong dos, whatever it may be we can choose to embrace it as part of the process and do what is needed to recalibrate. Not everything goes the way we think it may be, but we can decide to acknowledge the spirit of the holidays and appreciate all that life has to offer. 


The holiday season helps to remind us of all the many things we can be grateful for. Many people don’t get to enjoy the holidays with family and friends. So wherever you may find yourself this holiday season know that you can decide to be the one to bring the Christmas spirit to others. It is not only great to receive but blessed to give what we have to others, including the holiday spirit. I hope this message finds you all well.


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

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.

Enjoy The Show

  Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us.  Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we

A Blessing

  Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life.  Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le
