Adaptability

 Hello Natural Health Family. We are getting closer to spring (or it feels like it, thank you Midwest weather) and that means a time for change. As we go from winter to spring we enter a new phase of life. We will start to see changes in a lot of different areas including the weather and also the amount of activities we can do outside. Life is forever changing and it is our ability to adapt to it that helps us live it well. 

A great man once said that if he had to sum up everything he learned about the health and well being of people in the world it could be summarized into one word ADAPTABILITY. This seems very true in regards to everything that happens throughout our lives. When we apply this area not only to our health needs but all other areas of life we can see that it is vital to help us keep going. You may have stopped and looked around at how fast it appears that this world is changing. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming. The changes in technological advances, the changes in our health, the economic factors, etc. We can be prepared for many of the life events but there are times that you can’t prepare because it is too sudden. This is ok because it is a part of life as well. That means that as much as we can prepare for everything we must be able to adapt as well. It is our ability to self regulate that will help us be healthy and better weather any storm that comes. 


Like a rollercoaster life can have highs and lows. We may never know where anyone is in his or her life. So when we can offer our kindness or generosity it may lessen that person’s low and help them realize that the low’s are a part of life but not the whole of it. I encourage you this week to offer a helping hand to someone you know or you don’t know this week. Thanks for reading.

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...
