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

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...
