Graditude

 Welcome back Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone had a good weekend and starting this new year well. As we head into 2024 many people may have goals, intentions, resolutions, etc. that they want to achieve. This is all great and it appears that more people are wanting to find more ways that they can help themselves in many aspects of life. Although 2023 might not have been the way we wanted it to go or just didn’t get done what we wanted to we know that we can keep moving forward, even if it’s just a few steps. This year I believe for many people will come down to getting their health back. Let’s talk about some aspects that can help us with that endeavor.

With so much information out there it can be difficult to know where to turn. Many times, especially if you get on social media or google it seems like there can be two opposite answers to the same question. However, if you think about the health of our nation and that of the world we can see that the current paradigm or framework for our health is unfortunately not working. Therefore, we must do our own research and find ways to help ourselves. The best ways to know where to go is in the results. With that being said, many people try to find solutions to problems out of fear, panic, or worry. I think we have all been there. But today I want to encourage another way. We all know that life can work in mysterious ways.


Sometimes when we want something that it can come to us in the most unexpected ways. We can often get caught up in our heads trying so hard to think our way out of a current issue. When we are able to take some time to relax we allow life to unfold more. Today we have more and more research on the effects of practicing gratitude and what it can do for our health. As we practice gratitude, it naturally gets us back into a state of relaxation and thus again allowing life to show us what is needed. 


Today’s world can move so fast. That can often make us think and feel overwhelmed about what all is going on. Therefore, we must be able to slow ourselves down so that we can not only help ourselves but others. So try adding a little time everyday this year to practice gratitude, even if it seems so small because it can be the little things that count.


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...
