In a world full of stress and distraction, protecting your physical and mental energy is key. By choosing where to focus your time and attention, you build a stable, strong foundation for better health and daily performance.

Although the technology that we have been blessed with over the years can help us in many ways, it also can influence us to be disconnected. At these times more than ever, being connected is vastly important when it comes to our health.

Do you know the definition of the word decide? The word decide comes from the Latin word decidere, which literally means “to cut off.”

The world now is faster than it has ever been. Information is ready and available at your fingertips. Information is easier to gain more than ever. This is a double edged sword.

Have you ever noticed how solutions appear when you finally stop overthinking? Health is much the same—it’s not always about doing more, but about allowing life to unfold with a little more lightness and ease.

At times, we feel like we always need to be getting things done—knocking out to-do lists and staying productive. But in doing that, we can lose sight of another job we each have every single day: to connect and be with others.

It is important to really understand health rather than fighting the issues or sickness and dis-ease so much. To maybe not search for the next best thing, but rather have a strong understanding and foundation of health.

When we think about creating a strong foundation for individual health—and the health of the world—a great question to ask is: “Is it helpful?” With all the information we’re exposed to in the media and in our environment, it’s important to learn how to discern what’s truly beneficial for our health.

We can sometimes get caught in all that's going on in life and forget that we can’t and don’t have to control it all. That at times it is important to just quiet our minds.

Your body is made up of trillions of cells, many of them are viruses, bacteria, and others. When in balance, they work together to keep everything functioning optimally. However, when out of balance, the body needs to reset. A fever is a highly sophisticated way to balance out the cells of and in the body so that your body comes back to health, before worse things result.

Many of us have been able to witness the trends of health topics come and go. Some could be good, some obviously not, and others reign true even today. Let’s explore this more and find out how to be principled in health rather than just following the next trend.

There is no better time than right now to slow down, not get lost in the storm, but find the stillness in it as you can.

When we have chronic signs, signals, or pain in our body, it doesn’t mean that we are broken or falling apart. Rather, it means that something is off or out of alignment in some way, shape, or fashion.

This past weekend was a good reminder that we all go through some difficult times. That even our family and past generations went through some hardships and fought for what we are able to enjoy now.

When you think of the word heal, what comes to mind? You may simply think of having a certain health problem and it getting all better. Some may think of a certain healer or practitioner who has helped them out in some way. Others may think of certain products, foods, herbs, medications, nutrition, etc.

Today let’s talk about how the body is a self healing and self regulating system and what we can do to enhance this process. Stress comes in different forms, emotional, chemical, physical. We can tell when we are stressed by the way we feel. You fall down off a ladder, you are going to feel the injury.

Welcome back, Natural Health Family. I hope everyone had a great weekend and got outside to enjoy some good sunshine. It was good to see...

What is stress? It is such a simple question, but it can seem so complex. Take for instance, what comes to mind when you think of the word stress.

When you look up information on the internet, see it on TV, or read about something in an article or magazine related to health, what do you commonly see? It is usually the “next best thing,” the wonder drug, or a trendy fad going on.

Have you ever noticed on TV or commercials that it always explains if you have this, then take this, but these side effects may occur. If you look out into the world, you will notice that our healthcare system is not optimal for getting and keeping people well. Why is this?

With everything in the world through social media, news, TV shows, movies, public events, etc., we are reminded of the different standards set by various outlets. We are bombarded with all this information daily.
