A Part Of The Process

 Hi Natural Health Family. Hope all is well. We are definitely getting some big changes in the weather. One day being around 80 and then in the 40s, welcome to the Midwest. We all know that as time goes on the weather will balance out more and stay warm. Let’s discuss some of the changes that we may go through.

I am sure we have all been through a time where we wanted or had to do something new or different and it seemed a little scary. You can probably think of a time when you were younger, when you were either trying out for a new sport, your siblings dared you to do something, or maybe it was your first speech in front of a group of people. Whatever it was, you likely felt a little nervous to start. It was something that pushed you out of your familiar or comfort level. However, you managed to take it a step at a time or you jumped in not knowing how it was all going to go but did it anyway. Of course as we grow up we have some more responsibility with the choices we make in our lives. Nonetheless, sometimes it takes a little courage just like when you were younger to make the move to go forward into some unfamiliar territory.


Did you know that the feeling of anxiousness and excitement when measured looks very similar in the brain and body? That means when we do something new even if it is something we want to do it can feel a little uneasy. Our brain has neural pathways and when doing something new we start to make new connections. At first this can feel awkward or uneasy, much like the first time you learn anything. Then as you get better you start to feel more at ease and enjoy it more. Like anything there is a process, so try to enjoy the steps as you consider making any change.  


When we can see that so-called failures in life were really lessons and that life continues to flow, we can be more accepting of the changes that come whether we let them happen or choose to make them happen. Life always has a tendency to balance itself out, sometimes it’s up to us to get out of its way.

Good Food, Digestion and Absorption

  Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-                 I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and were actually grateful for all the food that we ate. There is a lot of good foods in the Thanksgiving meal, but also some that probably weren’t the best for us. We will just have to get back on the good eating bandwagon so that we stay healthy through the rest of these holidays coming up. I try to remind people to stay hydrated because it’s easy to forget to drink water and get your electrolytes. Staying hydrated just helps so many systems of the body and helps the pH to stay correct, which helps keep the bugs, which are in us and on us at all times, under control.                 We had a great Black Friday Open House/Patient Appreciation Day and were very thankful for the folks that came out and enjoyed some food and drink, an...

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...

  Hello everyone and natural health Nation -      Well we finally got some rain and now I’m beginning to wonder if we could turn it back off. It seems we're never happy - ha. I was surprised to see that the ground had dried out that much in a fairly short amount of time but with the rain we had this weekend, everything should be good for quite a while. I was happy to see the grass and everything green back up and the corn and beans are just growing like mad. We were working out in the rain on Saturday to finish some jobs and it was nice that it was warm. I'm sure we'll get lots of sunshine as the summer progresses and probably need more rain at some point too.      The article I'm sending along today looks at what happens to the human body when you eat processed foods. This is a problem during the summer when everyone gets into vacation mode and doesn't eat nearly as well as they did in the Spring. It's one of our problems in o...
