Part of our brain can be hardwired that way as a means to protect us. However, when we build up the courage and hold onto a vision, we can conquer the obstacles so that what was so scary at first becomes a well-satisfied accomplishment.

Our health is becoming a greater concern for many, but let’s break it down and see how we can simplify the process to put to rest the confusion of how we got this way in the first place.

When you think of sickness what do you think of? Do you think of “catching the cold”? Do you think about those feelings of nausea, maybe having a temp, or having to go to the bathroom more often? Or perhaps you think about the statistics of illness in the country. Did you know according to the CDC website 6/10 have one chronic illness and 4/10 have two or more? Those are old numbers, so trends may be higher. What if we were going about sickness in a way that is not optimal fo

As we reflect on Memorial Day, let's remember the importance of appreciating life and those who fought to make it enjoyable. Slow down, take a breath, and savor the moments in front of us, building up the good rather than focusing on the bad.

Have you ever stopped and wondered, in spite of everything that has happened in life, how you ended up where you are right now? Whether you are where you want to be or maybe you want to get better in a certain area of life or achieve health goals, we always have the power to redirect. Sometimes it can seem like a herculean effort to achieve this feat but sometimes to move a mountain we must start one stone at a time.

Have you ever been caught out in the middle of nowhere? That answer could be a yes or no depending on how adventurous you may be. Say, for instance though, you were in the middle of nowhere, you were not familiar with your surroundings, there could be predators around, but, you knew help was on the way.

Have you ever wondered how the pharmaceutical company was started in the first place? It is something to think about but that could be a much longer conversation. However, the notion of medications being used for health comes from the idea that our bodies are deficient in chemicals that we need to manufacture and consume. This may be good for extreme cases and certain issues that need more intensive care.

This week's talk is about lymph glands. Now, the lymph system may not get all the praise as other systems of the body, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t just as essential. Our bodies are wonderfully created and designed to be healthy and adapt to the world around us. Although we may have been or are being told differently, the human body is the most sophisticated technology in the world.

Bula Natural Health Family! “Bula” is a Fijian term used for many occasions but more so as a greeting for good health. We are moving to warmer temperatures and changing colors outside as we settle into the spring season. This month is more about allergies and why we would have them in the first place. Our health is our greatest currency. Many people often know about sickness or we hear more about health issues rather than understanding what it takes to be healthy. Let’s chang

We all know that sunshine is good for our Vitamin D levels. It’s interesting to think that the key source of life (the sun) has been pushed to be so much of a threat to our livelihood and health. Now our bodies don’t get vitamin D from the sun but the sun helps to activate vitamin D from other compounds that are already stored in our bodies. It is truly amazing and a blessing to see that the sun can do so much for us.

Did you know your body is composed of roughly 50 trillion cells? It's no joke! But here's the real question: what happens when these cells aren't in harmony? Discover how achieving balance, especially in digestion, can transform what once seemed harmful into nourishment, unlocking the key to optimal health and vitality.

Have you ever had scattered thinking, brain fog, or just felt like you simply couldn’t think straight? I think we have all been there in some way or fashion. When your phone or computer starts to slow down and not work as fast or efficiently as it used to it needs to do a cleaning. We too need to allow ourselves to reset and cleanse so that our brain and body are working effectively.

With all that’s going on we can still help ourselves to remain calm through the many storms life may bring. It’s important to nourish our bodies with healthy foods. Our digestive health can reflect our bodies' ability to self-regulate. Let’s discuss how we can help support this process. 

This month we continue our talk about digestive health and what that all entails. Our ability to digest and process is not only important with the foods that we eat but also with what we learn. Many are learning more about how our healthcare system is not as effective as we thought with much sickness and dis-ease going on in the world. It’s time to see that there are more options and that our health can be helped in more natural ways.

Did you get to enjoy the weekend, maybe take a little time off or just relax outside somewhere for a while? We were blessed with some great weather. This month we are talking more about digestive health! How exciting?! Well maybe not that thrilling, but it’s good to stay on top of it so that we can have healthy digestion and be able to do the things we enjoy. So get the metaphorical silverware ready, it’s time to dig in.

Imagine everyone had a blessed and great weekend. We are in exciting times, yes? Or these times are the worst and everything is falling apart? How do you see it? However you do, life will go on. It certainly is different from years past and continues to change at a fast rate. Our ability to adapt to this change can be an important factor in our health.
