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

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...
