  Hello Natural Health Family. It’s that time of the year again. The weather is cooling down and the colors are starting to change. We have been going through a lot of change in recent times and it doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. Nonetheless, one thing that doesn’t change is the importance of our health and how that reflects how we can handle the changes of life. Let’s talk about a few different topics of what we can do for ourselves to adapt to the change.  When was the last time you walked outside just to walk outside? Not for exercise, not for moving your body, not for getting the blood pumping around your body, not for moving your joints to promote healthy oxygenation to all the cells of your body, not to clear your head of thoughts, not to get some fresh air, not to get some sunlight for healthy vitamin D synthesis, not to strengthen the muscles and ligaments of your body including your spine, but rather just to walk. You didn’t do it for something in particu...

  We are here again Natural Health Family. I imagine everyone had a good Labor day weekend. Speaking of Labor day, we can acknowledge the hard work and dedication that many people performed to make what this country is today. Like any group or community that works together, they can see effort paying off and notice the effects of how it can impact those around us. Let’s discuss how the interaction with others and how we choose to live in this world can have influences outside of what we may be able to see.  When you think of the many accomplishments of others in this country or nation, who do you think of? You may think of different people in history involved in athletics, inventions, leadership, business, politics, actors, science, etc. Many people came to this country for an opportunity to make their lives better and in the process made an impact on the country and the rest of the world. If looking through their lives we could see the amount of work and effort they underwe...

  Hello Everyone and Natural Health Nation      I hope that you all had a great weekend and enjoyed probably the last hot one. Don't forget to add those electrolytes to the water, like using a good quality sea salt and freshly squeezed lemon juice to water or on Foods. Realize that these electrolytes are just as important as the water for hydration and that if you do have a medical health problem they will put you on a saline solution to rehydrate you, which is salt and water.   We are going through a lot of our salt pill product called Cal Amo. I'm trying to take between 3 and 6 everyday, especially being outside working in the heat. The true Main effects of hydration that we see are leg cramps and muscle spasms and just being very tired and Fatigued. It's also very important to stay hydrated as that keeps the immune system working well too, especially important with all the virus junk out there.       One of the big prob...

  Hello Natural Health Family. This weekend I was reminded of something that I think is simple but we may often forget about. Today let’s talk again about the importance of not being against something but always being for something.  This past weekend I was able to spend time with family. We talked about all sorts of topics. However, I saw or realized something interesting with people when talking about certain things. When topics came up that people agreed upon then the conversation went well. Of course the opposite would tend to happen when a topic came up that people didn’t agree upon. Those topics came up rarely because it seemed like nobody wanted to hurt anyone's feelings. Then I thought why do some people get upset about one thing and others don’t mind. When we get upset we rarely know exactly why we do until sometime after when we can look back upon it. When we react to a person or situation it is because something inside of us is getting irritated and coming up to t...

  Hello Natural Health Family. We have faced a lot of colder weather recently. I hope everyone is able to stay warm and know that spring is coming. Today we will talk about the subtle difference between being for something rather than being against it and why it is important.  When is the last time you wanted to change something in your life but always found yourself thinking about what you don’t want. We have been thinking in a mode of survival for thousands of years. This mode of thinking would be to prepare for the worst incase something bad or unfortunate were to happen. This makes sense when people were needing to prepare for long winters, to protect themselves from other predators, gather as much food as possible, etc. That is how we have thought for long periods of time. However, our environment is not like that anymore. Now it is more involved with finances, rent, how people think of us, what to say to others, etc. This can create the same response in our bodies. Thi...

  Hello again! I hope everyone is staying warm and well. Since we just passed Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be fun to talk about the relationship between love and hate. I will attempt to give another perspective and explain why they can be more similar than we think.  Let's first start with hate. Hate may come after the accumulation of lesser forms such as irritation, aggravation, frustration, and anger. It also may come from a past experience like in childhood. A parent may unknowingly impress the mind of the child with hate. The parent from their past experience was taught that their ways of disciplining a child is how it is meant to be. Or the parent might have unintentionally, because of their own problems or frustrations at the time, let out hatred towards a child. Of course, there are times that children need to be directed. This direction should not be with hostility but with kindness and patience. You can see how hate, from past experience,  can be prevale...

Well the weekend started off dicey but it sure was a nice day yesterday. It makes you feel like there’s hope that spring may be around the corner. The groundhog is not supposed to see his shadow so hopefully that means that spring will come early-ha. The winter hasn’t been too bad but started so early, remember back there at Halloween? I think we’re all ready for some good weather and sunshine, I know I am!             As we started a new month, our theme has changed to Heart Health. We’ve gotten a great device here at Natural Health to look at heart health, the heart sound recorder. It gives us a way to look at the valves of the heart and since the heart is a mirror of the rest of the body, a way to look at the nutritional needs of the body. After the exam, we get an idea of what whole food nutritional support that person may need. We’re having some specials this month to get people to look at heart health so give us shout or...

            Well we survived the holidays and are well into 2020. I hope that your holiday time was restful and got you ready for the new year. We’re looking forward to a great year as we have many great ways to help patients be healthier and work towards getting away from unnecessary medications and medical debt. I’m surprised and grateful that the weather has been fairly nice for January, hopefully the trend continues. We’ve joked about not having a white Christmas but having a white Halloween instead-ha.             As were into a new month and new year, our topic for the month has changed to looking at Energy. We get our energy from 2 sources in our diet, sugars and fats. Yes the body can run on sugars but the processed sugars that are so rampant during the holidays, are absorbed so quickly the body must do something with them and turns them into fat stored in the la...
