Here's some healthy living resources with simple tips and tools you can use to incorporate healthy living into your daily life.  By incorporating Healthy Quick Tips, you can begin to give your body the environment it needs for maximum health. Your body is the vehicle for experiencing life and  fulfilling your life purpose. 

Be healthy, strong, and vibrantly alive!

Life has changed in the last 100 years! It's more important now than ever before to take charge of your health. To live a healthy, vibrant life full of possibility, health needs to be in your top priorities. We are living longer, however, the real question is, are we living better?  Here's just a few changes we've seen in the past 50-100 years: 

• Americans consume 144 lbs. of sugar/person per year. 

• 2/3 of Americans are overweight, even considered obese by 1950's standards, even consumption of low fat and low calorie foods have increased.

• Advances in chemistry have led to the creation of a vast array of toxic chemicals we are exposed to every day. 

• Chronic illness is on the rise, even with broadening advances in the medical and chemical indrustries.

• Cancer is the number one killer of men and women in the U.S.

• 1/3 of all cancer deaths could have been prevented through diet and lifestyle changes.

• 80% of all diseases are stress related.

Detox and Cleansing programs: Most Americans have years of built up toxins and mucus in their bodies that we are unable to clean out because of improper diet. When the body's elimination channels are backed up, the waste materials are shunted (not able to be eliminated) are shunted to the body's weak organ systems and tissues (weakness in the system is determined by genetics). Toxic buildup can  result in causing all manner of diseases. By doing a  Cleansing or Detox program, you can help the body eliminate the waste buildup. As the body releases years of toxins, it becomes more efficient in keeping you healthy.  These detox programs and herbal aids can help your body eliminate the toxic buildup and rejuvenate your body.

Nutrition: 80% of our degenerative diseases are caused by unhealthy habits in diet and exercise. Most of the foods consumed in our society are refined and processed, which adds a heavy load to our internal systems. Without the proper nutrients and fiber to keep us healthy, the body's systems become unable to efficiently remove toxins and keep a healthy environment. Easy Transitions shows simple ways to incorporate more whole foods into your diet.  While having a healthy diet is key, taking a high quality multivitamin/ mineral is also important. Nutritional quality of our foods today are lower than past generations due to:

• overusing crop fields and lack of rotating crops which depletes soil minerals

• use of fertilizers and pesticides also depletes soil  minerals

• we are eating more processed and refined foods which decrease our ability to digest and absorb nutrition in our foods.

ISOTONIX: Wouldn't you rather drink your vitamins? Are you tired of popping pills? I have dozens of bottles of supplements that I never took because I don't like taking pills. These supplements come in powder form, just add water, and they become isotonic (proper pH and osmolarity) for greatest bio-availability and the best absorption.  Absorption rates are greater than pills, because you can only absorb pills at the same rate you digest and absorb food. Since most of our digestive systems have been compromised by the All American diet, that's only around 20%. With this amazing line of products, absorption rates 95% in the first 5 minutes if taken on an empty stomach as directed.

Exercise: Just do it! Easy to say, more difficult to follow-through. A key mistake people make is in creating an exercise plan that isn't fun or doesn't incorporate their key values. For instance, if you love being with people, explore exercise avenues that will let you spend quality time with others: yoga classes, aerobics, etc.  If you have a family, family games  are a great way to keep everyone fit and spend quality time together. Be creative, try some new acitivities, keep it exciting and do what you love! Create a plan that is fun and that you can keep up as a lifestyle! Schedule when you will do it, and focus on the benefit. Its not just losing weight, its about feeling better, and becoming vibrantly alive! Keep it fun!

Stress: Stress is a contributing factor in 80% of our degenerative diseases. The body responds to threat (real or imagined) by causing the fight or flight response.  However, when we feel this response, duking it out with the boss or running from the desk are generally not good options. Instead, we sit there at the desk, and try to calm the nerves while we have all this adrenaline pumping through the veins. Exercise is a great way to release this chemical response. Meditation exercises are also a great avenue for helping the body restore its equilibrium, and flush the toxins of stress. 

     The fast pace of society and our to do lists also keeps us in the busy mind. I highly recommend some form of quiet reflection time such as journaling, focusing exercise, or meditation. Meditation and hypnosis work very similarly, changing the brainwave pattern to a slower/more organized pattern which opens up creativity and focus. Benefits of meditation/hypnosis include lowering the blood pressure, feelings of deep relaxation, and well-being.

    Take Breaks: Typically, we spend hours at the office focusing on work. The brain only pays attention for 1-1 1/2 hrs. Take a few 10 min. breaks to move, socialize, and give your mind a rest. Even 10 min. of a light meditation offers a calming and quick treat.

Health Psychology: Your mental framework has a lot to do with your health, even more than you might think! Stress can affect our health through our nervous system. The fight or flight response activated with stress channels the body's energy away from digestion and toward the muscles. Blood moves from the brain to the lungs and muscles, which means we think less clearly. In sessions, we can ask your deeper mind to identify any psychological blocks you may have toward healing. Once we remove these obstacles, the body responds better to treatment, and begins to heal itself. Health insight sessions can help you identify the unconscious blocks keeping you from health, whether weight loss, chronic illness, body malfunctions, abnormalities, compromised systems and digestion, just to name a few.                                          Read More

Psychology of Weight Loss:  Weight loss is not just about diet and exercise! A person's psychology or  mental framework also needs to support weight loss. If this isn't taken into account, the person is caught in yoyo dieting and finds some success only to lose ground again. Its as if some part wants to change, and some part doesn't. It is essential to address underlying subconscious reasons behind gaining weight. With the psychology tools of NLP, we can easily identify core root issues behind carrying extra weight. With the added tools of Hypnotherapy, we can incorporate deep level change and create the mental framework that supports your goals.                                 Read More
