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.

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...

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...
