Hot Hot Hot

 Good day Natural Health Family! I hope everyone was able to stay cool during these hotter days in the summer. Yes it has been hot which is why it is important to stay hydrated during this time. However, it is also a good time for our bodies to adapt to the changes in weather. Looking back, this is not so uncommon. We have had many of these hot days in the past. Weather, along with environmental conditions, comes in cycles. This year just may be a warmer cycle. Therefore, we don’t have to be stressed about it but rather embrace the changes. 

I am sure when we were younger that when it got hot we didn’t mind it so much. Rather we just switched up what we did. Perhaps we play in the pool rather than other activities. We didn’t get all caught up whether it was too hot or not, we just did whatever we wanted to do at the time or what we were allowed to do. Nowadays, we can become more reactive to any fluctuations in weather or other aspects of life. That’s why we have talked about adaptability. It is important to support our bodies physically with good foods, good water, nutrition, etc. We also want to help ourselves reset and regulate so that we can embrace more of the changes and keep moving forward. It can always be easy to dwell on problems and complain about different things even like the weather. However, when we can see that those things are a part of life and can look for the good we can handle more of what could come. 


The heat is on. That means more potential to be swings in the environment and other areas of life. Whatever it is, remember that you are more powerful than the circumstance. Take time to enjoy those parts of life. Even when we may get caught up in the fire, walk right through it.


Have a great week!

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...
