  Hey Everyone, before I get to my personal story, if you are conquering your New Year’s Resolutions! Congrats! If you're about to give up, DON’T! You have to understand that you have to make it a habit for it to stick within the mind. It's like learning a new skill. If you give up, you won't be able to perform that new skill. If you stick with it, you will be living your life with that Resolution effortlessly. It comes to sticking with it. You achieving your resolution or not comes down to you and only you. No one else. Be determined and just keep moving forward. The ending of achieving your resolution is much closer than you think. It’s not always going to be this hard. Think about how easy you can write your name, it will become just as easy. You just have to keep going to condition that mind! But Anyways…. Here is my personal story for you from this topic that I hope inspires you. I grew up as one of the kiddos that loved being expressive. The connectedness I felt from ...

            How is 2020 going for you? The weather hasn’t been too bad but it is winter. Again, we are getting a lot of news from out there about all the flu and colds. Most of these are driven by viruses and antibiotics do not help viruses, plus they cause yeast infections due to killing off all the good bacteria. It’s much smarter to work on your immune system so the body can keep all these bugs under control. We have many good products to help with this and they go right along with our Nutrition Response Testing technique to find out which ones the person being tested needs. Just taking “vitamin C”, which is normally just ascorbic acid, is a way of helping the pH in the gut and can be helpful but is not really strengthening the immune system like the true vitamin C complex nutrition can. There is so much baloney out there in the nutrition media so it is important to know what works for you, not only for the benefit, but for t...

            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...

The Walking Revolution Analysis by  Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY AT-A-GLANCE U.S. inactivity and sedentary lifestyles cause obesity and other health problems Car-based lifestyles based on commuting from suburbs to job sites have greatly increased inactivity Incorporating walking into personal lifestyles can lower blood pressure, reduce susceptibility to diabetes and lower the risk of developing some cancers and cognitive decline Walkable communities and parks are making a comeback, often through the efforts of citizen activists Many, including the elderly, have taken up mall walking; in some places children now walk to school via "walking school buses" Most of us have some idea about the dangers of inactivity — the too common lifestyle that consists of going from the "couch to the car to the cube." But many think the alternative to a sedentary life is active working out and a gym membership. The excellent documentary "The Walking Revolution,...

            Hopefully you all survived Christmas and some of the foods that you got a hold of-ha. Many of the food diaries that I’ve seen lately have some not so good foods on them but I realize it’s the holidays and you have to try what other people bring. Just like an alcoholic, a sugarholic just needs to get back on the wagon if there has been a relapse. Sugar is just as addictive as alcohol and the problem with the holidays is that it is a societal way of getting hooked back onto eating sugar and processed foods. We all want to be healthier in 2020 so get back on the ketogenic type diet. If you have problems, just give us a call here at Natural Health and we will work you through it.             I’ll try to keep this weeks letter short as were all still working on holiday season timeline. The article that I’ve included looks at using simple household items for cleane...
