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.

Learn how chronic stress and excess cortisol impact your health — from weight gain to heart disease — and discover natural ways to lower cortisol through lifestyle changes.

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.

Human beings have been out in the sun for millennia and we don't all get skin cancer. Just like every other malady, it's got to do with the immune system in that person that fails and allows these cancer cells to get out of control. The sun actually helps the body to activate the vitamin D.

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.

I really can't believe that mercury is still being used in dental amalgams, but it is. When they bring it into the dentist’s office, it's in a hazardous material container and if you take it out of the teeth you must put it back into a hazardous material container but once it's in your mouth it's supposed to be OK.

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.

Looking at the "Dirty Dozen"—types of produce commonly found to have pesticide residues. You really must watch the source of the foods that we get and how they are grown. It’s almost impossible to stay away from all the chemicals out there but we try to educate patients on the sources and have them stay away from what they can so that their body can hopefully handle what we inevitably get into by just living.

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.

The problems with Chlorine being everywhere. It’s bad enough being in the tap water, but worse in the shower, because you inhale it, and then it being in the pools folks are in. At Natural Health, we try to get patients to stay away from these sources but sometimes you just can’t avoid it. This is why it’s so important to have a strong detox and elimination system in the body.

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.

Looking at the problems with using steroid drugs, especially long term, and how they down regulate the Adrenal glands. It’s a shame that the medics don’t realize that if a person needs steroids for whatever, it means their patient's body has been beat up with the stresses of life and needs adrenal gland support, rather than just giving medication to cover up symptoms.

The article that I’m sending along looks at the better outcomes of treating Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) holistically as compared to treating it with antibiotics.

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.

Arthritis can be caused by hidden food allergies and unresolved infections. Once the joint starts to deteriorate, the body tries to clean up the mess, resulting in an autoimmune response and the condition gets worse.

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.

It makes sense that people that aren’t sleeping well are not able to repair themselves and age, or fall apart - disability, faster. Taking drugs to sleep does not handle the underlying problem, which in my experience is a B vitamin deficiency, and they still aren’t able to repair and heal themselves from all of the day’s activities.

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.
