Focus

 Hello again Natural Health Family. I was able to go to Chicago over the weekend and learn a lot about health and healing. The seminar was a great refresher of different things I have learned. Sometimes when we see it differently it helps to gain a different perspective of the same material and so we go from learning to applying the information. One aspect that was brought up was what we have the ability to control, mainly our focus. 

During the seminar, we were taught some martial arts and how it can be applied in our lives. The instructor wanted to show more principles of what he used to be better at his craft. As we stated, focus is important in any area of life. He also discussed when fighting with another that leverage is important. When we are able to find leverage then we can find a solution to many situations. This doesn’t always mean more about attacking or fighting the other person. Rather it is more about using defense and being able to adapt to a tight spot we may find ourselves in. 


Life can throw us some curveballs. When we talk about health it is important to realize it is our adaptability to any situation that ultimately helps with the integrity of our own health. Sometimes when life seems to speed up and be moving fast it can be our own ability to slow ourselves down. Many times people may get caught up on things they themselves can’t control. This brings different attitudes of worry and frustration. However, when we focus on what we can control such as our focus we are able to take the necessary steps for the change that is needed at the time. 


We may not always find ourselves in the best of positions. However, being able to accept what is can allow life to unfold in ways that actually can help us see something more clearly and take the next steps to get where we want to go. We can’t control everything but we can control our focus and our ability to adapt to life’s changes.


Have a great week!

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...
