Winter is Coming

 Good day Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone had a good weekend. As we all know, winter is coming. With winter comes more times of darkness, celebrations, cold, etc. However, we are in fall and with fall comes change. It’s interesting to see that as the seasons change, we also may be going through changes with different aspects of our life. Whatever season we are in it is important that we can stay healthy and focus on what we can do to help ourselves through what can be seen as challenging times.

    Have you ever wondered how people were able to make it through certain times in history? Imagine times where people may not have had enough food, water, or shelter. The times where many didn’t know if they would make it through the winter. Or when wars were spread across countries and nations. We may forget about these times because of how our society is built now. However, it helps us to see relatively how blessed we are and what all we have in our lives. Just think about what we can do in today’s age. When we are too hot, we can run the air conditioning. When it is too cold, we turn on the heat. Think about how easy it is to do this and how much time and effort had to be taken back then for that to be the case. We may take for granted the many things that we are so easily able to access. This can help us to slow down in the busy and fast-paced life we sometimes are in and appreciate what we have now. When there is so much technology to keep us connected with other things and people, we tend to not take time to connect with ourselves and just be present with what is. When there is so much change in life it is important to make time throughout the week to slow down and take it all in appreciating what life offers us.

    Winter is coming and there is nothing stopping it. Therefore, let’s not be too concerned about the changes and all what’s going on in life but being sure to make ourselves balanced enough to withstand anything life brings. Life is too short not to take moments to realize what a gift it can be. 

Have a great week!

Dr. Chip

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...
