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!

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...

The Need to Be Right

The Need to Be Right             I’m sure that you have talked with people and discovered their need to be right. Everyone wants others to emotionally feel close to them and that what they are doing, whatever it is, is the right way to do it or is best. Many people we have talked to, have been doing things a certain way for years, or decades, or even for generations. In their mind all that time makes it seem right. The question to ask though-is it? Many of these notions are based on outdated or uninformed ideas and may have even worked well for a while but the end result is not turning out as expected. It may also take some time, as in years or decades, to see the results of a wrong idea or a wrong action. You may have heard the expression about being “happy in your misery” or “being dead right”. These are expressions about people thinking they are doing the right thing but in reality, they’re not.     ...

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...
