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!

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...

Slow It Down

  Wake up Natural Health Family!  Imagine everyone had a blessed and great weekend. We are in exciting times, yes? Or these times are the worst and everything is falling apart? How do you see it? However you do, life will go on. It certainly is different from years past and continues to change at a fast rate. Our ability to adapt to this change can be an important factor in our health.  Do you remember when times seemed to be simpler? Or maybe we thought they were simpler? I say this because many life changes seem difficult at first, but then when we get more familiar with it, the change becomes simpler. Time before did seem slower. There wasn’t so much technology, so many “things” to do, so many messages, emails, or notifications. We have so many abilities to connect with others, but the connection with others is not as strong as it used to be. Our society has changed from telling stories to what’s on TV. From meals made from scratch to how fast can this meal be made. Pe...
