Spirit of the Holidays

 Welcome back Natural Health Family! It seems like it has been a fast year with everything going on. We had our office Christmas party over the weekend and allowed me to reflect on all that this year has been. Today I wanted to give my appreciation and say thank you to all who have been with us throughout the year. Sometimes we just must stop, take a step back, and realize how extraordinary life really is.

How has this year been for you? Have you had ups and downs? Have you had big accomplishments? Any fun moments that really stood out? Many times, going through life we can be in different phases such as accomplishing big feats, graduating school, starting a family, starting a business, going through loss, etc. However, sometimes we forget all that led up to that point. We can forget the small little things that really help to keep us moving in the right direction. Whether it was a kind gesture from a stranger, a random call from a helpful friend, a gift from a family member, having coffee with a friend, or just appreciating all the things that life has given us, many times it is the little things that make a big difference. It can be random acts of kindness that makes the world go round.

Today I encourage you in the spirit of the holidays to reach out to someone you know, to help someone out during the week, or even just a smile or wave to someone who may seem to be struggling. While technology may allow us to connect with others, don’t let it stop you from really seeing how you can lift up people around you. Have a great week and happy holidays to those who I know are celebrating early!

Dr. Chip

Most People Don't Reach Micronutrient Requirements Through Food Alone

  STORY AT-A-GLANCE Most adolescents are not getting adequate nutrient intake from diet alone — a finding confirmed from other studies in developed countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and Germany Three-quarters of adolescents consumed less than 54% of the recommended amounts of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and dairy products Nearly three-quarters of the youth exceeded the recommended limit for sweet and salty snacks — by 453% When nutrient intake was considered from diet alone, adolescents often consumed less than recommended amounts of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E along with the water-soluble vitamins folate, biotin and pantothenic acid The use of dietary supplements helped to increase the adolescents’ intake of vitamins and minerals, particularly magnesium and vitamin C, but this isn’t a replacement for a healthy, nutrient-rich diet While it’s possible to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs by eating a healthy diet, most people fall short.

Enjoy The Show

  Hi Natural Health Family! Imagine everyone enjoyed their weekend with some great weather. Did you have a win from last week? Could be something small or a big accomplishment. Whatever it was, I hope it brought you joy in some way. Sometimes life can seem strugglesome, difficult, and overwhelming. We have the ability to reframe the way we see life. Let’s talk about our ability to respond to the way we see the world around us.  Have you ever been watching a tv show or movie and thought “wow there really isn’t anything going on in the show, there are no ups and downs, no twists and turns, it just seems so bland and boring.” Maybe you have thought of that but I would guess that you probably didn’t. The movie with the director, producer, and actors is meant to grab your attention. The director wanted to captivate the audience, of course to sell more movies, but also for the people watching to get lost in the experience of watching the movie. If the movie is really good we almost forget we

A Blessing

  Hi Natural Health Family. We got some rain this weekend! It was definitely refreshing and great to see something different. I am sure many of the farmers were happy to see that along with anyone that has grass. Time to mow again haha. Just like waiting for the rain we can be more patient in other aspects of our life.  Have you ever had something happen that you thought was bad or perhaps a mistake by yourself or someone else? However, after perhaps days, weeks, months you look back and realize if that didn’t happen then you would have never realized something that helped you down the road, a blessing in disguise. Many times people get caught up in thinking that this event that happened was so bad or that it should have never happened. When we are quick to judge something then we may keep ourselves from seeing something more clearly. Of course it is okay when we get frustrated from time to time, but then we can redirect ourselves to see whatever happened in a different way we can le
