Focus

 2024… Here.. We.. Go! Hi Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone is off to a good start to the 2024 calendar year. 2023 was quite a journey and thank you to all who were a part of it here at Natural Health. I would think by now everyone has heard of New Year’s resolutions. Sometimes this can be fun for people and can bring them new opportunities for creating something new in their lives. However, many times we don’t necessarily keep up with the resolutions. Instead, I would offer up a new way of seeing this year. Rather than wanting to change the way we do things, let’s change the way we see and focus on things in life.

Have you ever looked up what focus means? One resource explains it as “point of convergence,” from Latin “hearth, fireplace.” Imagine, if you will, wanting to start a fire. The only things you had were a magnifying glass and a piece of paper. Now we know if we are able to take the light from the sun and focus its rays on a single point it can bring enough heat to cause a fire to form. Now if we view this in terms of daily life we can see that our focus can help us to gain energy on what we want to do in life. If we ponder on the many great achievements of professional athletes, inventors, musicians, workers, etc. we can find that they were able to direct their focus to accomplish what they wanted. When we focus, just like the magnifying glass converging its rays building heat on the paper and creating flames, we too can focus and create new things in our life. 


Of course there are many things nowadays that can try to divert our focus or take our attention away such as social media, commercials, and other sources. Nonetheless, we have the ability to take our power back and focus on more of the good in the world. Let's focus on health when needed and make 2024 a great year.


Have a blessed 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...
