Dr. Mark and Dr. Chip's Healthy Blogs

  Good day Natural Health Family. Easter is now behind us and spring weather is rolling in. This season brings change and new beginnings. This means that we need to be ready and better adapt to the new happenings and circumstances in our lives now. When we are better aware of how we are reacting or responding to our environment than we can better understand how that can affect our own health and well being.  We have been told that we are victims of our health and have been conditioned to think that we always need something outside of us to make us healthy. Of course it is good to eat right, drink water, get fresh air and sunshine, and move our bodies to sustain good health. However, we forget the resilience of our own bodies when we have a balanced nervous system. Think of all the ads and media talking about the next great pill or medication to take so we can live healthy. Medications are great to prevent major illness or death, but they are not aiding the body in health. When you ge

  Well hello everyone. Another beautiful week in front of us that is all up for the taking. It all comes down to how we individually approach the day that will transform our life in the direction we want. I am starting to do my blogs a little different. They are going off of the HealthShop that we have on Monday nights. Some people are visual learners and some love reading, either way, I would love to tailor to everyone's needs.  You have heard me talk about this before, but I want to go over how the brain is wired as it relates to the gut-brain connection. I always go back to this autonomic nervous system because it's so important to get the fundamental idea as it relates to the body, the brain, and emotions. We have two different systems within the body, the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system gets the body ready to go for more stressful situations as it flashes a flood of hormones that boosts the body's alertn

I hope that you enjoyed the weekend and were able to get out and soak up some sunshine to help increase those vitamin D levels and support your immune system. With all the virus stuff going on right now, I would definitely take the time to get outside and enjoy sunshine whenever possible, and the fresh air. We have noticed and uptick in the pollens out there so increase your Antronex, Albizia Complex, or Sinus Forte. Of course, we have these at the office if you need some. And the good news is that our stock of Immuplex and Viranon are in good shape so we can help to strengthen your immune system with all of these products.             I’ve included an article this week on how the lack of B vitamins weakens the immune system, along with vitamin C complex, and guess which vitamins are burned up when people eat refined carbohydrates? You guessed it-B vitamins, so don’t eat refined carbohydrates please! Enjoy the article. Our health shop was tonight at 6 o’clock on Facebook and Inst

Hello all! Today I will be brief and talk about a life principle that I learned over the weekend at my seminar. The principle is about relaxation. Relaxation can be a powerful thing in any situation. Let me explain.     Think about a tennis player. If you know anything about tennis you might know that when up for a serve you get two serves. Many people will use the first serve as a powerful serve and they sort of ‘go for it all.’ Many professionals are good enough to have a powerful serve and still make it in the playable area. The first serve is usually very relaxed because they know that whatever happens they always have another serve. This makes them not have to do much thinking about the shot and just have fun with it. However, on the second shot they know that they must hit the ball in the playable area so they are more timid and think about exactly where to place it. You will notice that the player is a little more tense and has a slower swing with his or her racket. When a
