Simon Says

 Hello again to the great family at Natural Health. It really seems like time goes by quickly. We go from one week to the other and do not realize it’s almost July already. Wild! Anyways, over the weekend I learned that some of our past songs that we used to sing when we were kids have quite a bit different meaning then just what you hear in the song. It got me thinking about all the information that has led many in this world and why taking another look can be very helpful. Let’s talk about the differences in what we have known in previous years to today and what we have been told recently. 

I would think everyone knows the game “Simon Says?” Of course it was an old children's game that when you give a command to do something you must do it but only if Simon tells you to. Now if we think about many years ago we can at least fathom that there were many ways to help ourselves with our own health and well-being. Not until relatively recently were we told that there are new ways that are “better” and “scientifically more effective” than other ways. The “Simon” back then is now our societal norms, our FDA regulated guidelines, our mainstream news, our conventional advice, etc. Sometimes they are helpful but sometimes we have to look a little deeper. We have been told many stories of what health is from many people who may not have our health in our best interest. All we have to do is look at the stats of our healthcare system to know that obviously there is something not quite right about the current system. The US is currently ranked as one of the lowest nations in health at the moment. The system that we are currently working with is not good or bad, it is extremely helpful in certain situations and circumstances. However, we must at the least acknowledge and be aware that we were much healthier only a 100 years ago as a nation. So it may be time to stop playing this game of “Simon says” and take back power into our own hands. 


We are at a great time where truth is revealing itself more and more. People are starting to question the narrative and health is being sought out for. Sometimes it can take a little chaos to start the movement toward more order. So wherever you are on your journey be patient and know we are all in this together.


Have a great week!


Dr. Chip

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
