Ready For Labor Day Weekend?

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation-

Another great weekend and some more rain. We’ve got to keep the grass growing. I was noticing driving in to town yesterday, that it sure looks nice when everything is green, rather than the brown grass and things from the dry weather. It looks like we’re going to have a great week coming up and a great weekend for Labor Day. Hopefully everyone can enjoy Labor Day weekend and not have to help the kids with too much homework already.

Don’t forget about our live Health Shops at 6:15 on Monday evenings. We do those live on Facebook and Instagram and then eventually will post the videos to Brighteon.com and YouTube. This month were talking about Back-To-School topics and this week, were talking about Children’s Foods and Moods. I will especially be talking about the connection between the brain and the gut. The connection is very profound and important when you’re thinking about what the kids are eating, especially before going to school or even during school. You can’t expect kids to sit still and learn very well when they are eating all kind of highly processed carb foods. It’s important to realize that breakfast, meaning break of the overnight fast, dictates the need for proteins in the morning to replace the proteins the body used overnight to fix itself from the previous day’s work, or in the case of kids, have the building blocks the body needs to grow. Highly processed sugary cereals are not what the body needs to work correctly. The refined carbs give the body more energy than it can handle and you will have kids that can’t sit still during school time. It’s unfortunate that you won’t hear much of this from mainstream medicine but there are too many cereal advertisers for them to deal with.

We work on a lot of appetite and overeating with our Nutrition Response Testing technique and find what the body needs to not be hungry all the time and help instruct our patients on what type of foods the body needs to repair itself without adding extra fat to the body. Don’t confuse this with the good fats that we need in our diet because they contain the oil soluble vitamins-A, D, E, and K. The fats that you put on the body normally come from carbohydrates, and especially the refined carbohydrates with a high glycemic value that causes the body to release lots of insulin and that causes the body to put the carbs into storage, or make fat. Again, something you may not hear much from mainstream medicine but they can make a lot more money on people who are obese and unhealthy. I’m hoping all of my readers here, are looking at the need to be healthy rather than support that industry. Were also getting more signals of an upcoming “Covid” plan-demic, again, and health becomes even more important. It seems that mainstream medicine and the public health people didn’t learn anything from the last debacle. Don’t forget that were here at Natural Health to help patients strengthen their immune systems and not need to worry about the “bugs”.

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...

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. ...
