Please educate yourselves as to the effects of any supplements you may be taking. The majority out there are actually lab made and synthetic and are therefore unable to be completely metabolized. You may be surprised with all the knowledge there is to learn about their effects on the body and quickly come to realize the importance of choosing natural sources for your nutritional needs.

As life continues shifting for everyone during this unprecedented time, I invite you to reflect on how your body and mind feel in everything that you do. Find purpose in each pain. Breath into it, whether mental or physical and choose to feel peace in every moment. Each challenge is an opportunity for inner growth and awakening. So much suffering can be transformed when we become mindful of how our thoughts, feelings, words and deeds make us feel. Awareness is a personal training tool that can allow us to transcend our old patterns and introduce us to functional living in each present moment. If we can cultivate our awareness, we can discover the subtle changes we can implement in order to recover from every injury caused by trauma or repetitive action that places stressors on our bodies. Let our breath guide us into the ergonomics our body needs to continue to promote a resilient and adaptive inner landscape. Learn to cultivate your innate capacity for self healing with a tranquil presence of mind that is within each one of us.

In my studies, I learned many reasons to avoid iced beverages and icy foods especially when eating or experiencing a woman's moon cycle. This article illustrates why! Alternatively, I have heard one beneficial reason for drinking cold water is during times of craving sweets. Sometimes that craving is due to dehydration and cool water may help assuage the craving. Yours in health ❤️

Why You Should Never Drink Cold Water There's nothing like a cup of cold water with ice on a sunny day, but is that the best way to hydrate? Cold water may not be as good for you as you think.

Some relatively old news that may be a first time heard for some. Here is a little eye-opener from a study done back in 2001 on the link between unfiltered coffee, diterpenes and cholesterol

Winter solstice begins shortly after the strike of midnight tonight at 12:24 am! I have been thinking a lot about seasonal changes, the transitional time in which the earth element resides. The few days before and some days after the change are great days to purge ourselves of the residual character effects of the previous season to make room for the new season. Doing this helps prepare ourselves for the coming change. This post comes a little late but is intended to plant seeds for next season change and also, we are still in this earth element and hey, a few days are better than none! There is a lot of info on this but I ran into this articles that I think is interesting and relevant though not a complete compendium on the subject but a great platform for more exploration. Happy winter solstice everyone!May we be kind to ourselves during this transition and always.

I was visiting a family member in the hospital a few weeks ago when a slightly haggard niece walks into the floors family room. I had seen her the day before when I had been opening up a bit about my reasons for visiting the hospital to a friend of hers.

I was happily surprised when I stumbled on an article today in my quest to prepare a most nutritional kind of rice and read about a tip that my friend Aaron Pigue taught me years ago. This article, from 2010, shares this same rapid fermentation process one can implement to remove up to 96% of phytic acid, the constituent in brown rice that inadvertently inhibits the many health benefits of the rice. Check it out and learn for yourself how to easily prepare brown rice into a food source where it's nutritional benefits can be absorbed and reclaim this food source as a moderately implemented part of a healthy diet!

amazing that this article was written almost 10 years ago! There has been such a huge capitalist and consumerist movement of selling nutrients when what we really need is a variety of food grown in healthy soil. So much research and production has gone into the making and distribution of lab based nutrients while at the same time, soil amendment and making cooking and eating real food could be prioritized. Our ancestors have been eating real food for so many millenia. It's only recently that these lab created nutrients have been consumed. Although I do believe that megadosing on deficient nutrients is beneficial for the short term, eating a variety of whole and fresh foods grown in a healthy nutritive environment along with basic things like 30 minutes of walking a day, clean water, laughter, meditation, sunshine and a fullfilling social network is the best for long term health. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/magazine/28nutritionism.t.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

Unhappy Meals - Michael Pollan - New York Times The story of how basic questions about what to eat got so complicated reveals a great deal about the institutional imperatives of the food industry, nutritional science and journalism.

Imagine your being is a garden. The elements visit as they do. Offering light, rain, cold, heat, an ever eternal brew. There may be a flood a fire, a draught or a typhoon. Whatever it may be, whatever the damage, these things shall pass soon. Imagine your garden growing naturally, seeds sprouting straight out of the earth either nature sown or manually. Their root's strength dependent on the earth's fortitude and tremendous fertilization, amended soil and gratitude. Now imagine your garden growing with the fruits of your mental attitude. What nutrients do you give your soul? Consider this it's first magnitude. Beauty, life, vitality is a process like your being continually breaking down and building up, the possibilities are freeing. Feed your body in the way you would imagine your garden to grow. Feed your soul in the way you would imagine your garden to flow. Feed your mind in the way you would imagine your garden to know. Your garden is how you make it. Sow healthy seeds, amend with pure soil, w**d what doesn't bring about your highest vision so that your treasures will have space, love and light to fulfill its mission.

Milk with cereal in the am? As this may be a commonplace staple for many, there may be better, more nutritious alternatives out there. Milk may add a few grams of protein, calcium and other nutrients but it also adds a lot of insulin (due to its high concentration of insulinogenic amino acids Leucine, isoleucine, valine and lycine) as well as a whole barrage of other unsavory things. Foods high in insulin along with a substantial amount of carbs, oftentimes empty dead dried up ones, does not do a body good. Don't get me wrong, insulin levels increase when it is needed in the body to transport nutrients into cells like protein and glycogen into muscles, but chronically elevated insulin levels eventually tire out our insulin markers and lead to the ever dreadful insulin resistance state that is the precursor to type II diabetes. For people with healthy insulin responses who engage in glycolytic activity, starch in moderation is fine and even beneficial. Low protein and high carb food choices catapult our bodies into a form of gymnastics that wreak havoc on our hormones and that is not so fun. We are so lucky! We have choices we can make. If protecting your body from the effects of insulin spikes in your body is important to you, choose an alternative like unsweetened almond milk and maybe a different choice for breakfast in the morning that has a higher protein to carb ratio. Be wary of the tried and really not so true food choices that have become infiltrated through mainstream propaghanda. Do your own research on what is healthy and feel empowered in mind body and soul through your food choices while at the same time being a great role model for the ones you love around you.

Hello friends and family! It is with great joy to announce beginning Monday, February 2nd, I will be offering acupuncture, herbs and bodywork at a beautiful sanctuary of a space in casselberry (suburb north of Orlando). To get the ball rolling, for the month of February, I will be offering the first-time visit for whatever you can afford to whatever you would like to offer in exchange for a testimonial, yelp review, special sauce props and especially word of mouth recommendations to the people in your life. There are also other package deals on top of that and I am excited about hiring an insurance biller, too. I look forward to serving these healing modalities to the community back home finally after graduating from Dragon rises 3 years ago. Please send me a private message and we'll set up a time together. Thank you and Namaste.

According to the to***co free kids website, nearly 3,000 kids become regular smokers everyday. Tonight, I heard on the radio it takes 2 days to form a cigarette addiction habit. The NADA protocol prescribes 5 ear acupuncture points over a consecutive 4 days for the body/mind to relinquish control over the claws of addiction, particularly when the person is ready and willing. If you are ready to let the grip of an addiction go, this might be the protocol for you. Let me know and we can work together to allow the ancient art of auricular therapy to allow for a new beginning free from substance dependency.
