Fresh Start



Welcome back Natural Health Family! 


I imagine everyone had a great weekend and got to do something fun or checked off a task you wanted to accomplish. This February has shown us what Midwest weather can do. From one extreme to the next, you never know what it can do. 


Life has a way to bring unexpected turns of events and being open to change can help allow life to unfold more. February can be a month for fresh starts and new beginnings. 


We have talked about it in recent posts about how change can seem scary at times and that the brain can be wired for survival which makes the change seem fearful. However, when we choose to see life differently we can realize that many times in life we have gone through changes both big and small. 


Many times we may feel overwhelmed or anxious because we try to think and control everything that happens in life. 


Of course, it is okay to plan for different events that may happen in life but to worry about it chronically can affect our health and wellbeing. Sometimes the best thing to do in what seems like intense situations is to remember to take a breath and relax so that we can see the situation in different lights. Many times what we think we're bad events turned out to be a nudge or guide to better outcomes. 


I hope this message finds you well. Remember that you always can choose to start fresh. 


So what is it that you can start that you have been wanting to or something that you can let go of that may be holding you back? 


Have a great week!

-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.

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

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
