1. Assist you in changing behaviors that can lead to chronic disease.

Behavior such as lifestyle issues: stress reductions, heart disease, blood pressure, weight loss, smoking cessation and getting physically active is now recognized to be a more significant predictor of excellent health and healthy living than genetics, according to recent studies into the causes of chronic diseases.

The death of a loved one can be extremely difficult to deal with. But there are other kinds of grief that don’t get talked about as much that can be equally painful. For example, grieving the end of a relationship, like a divorce or a breakup, or the death of a beloved pet, or more recently, grieving the death of your old way of living before the pandemic?

It’s vital to remember that grief is a process and it takes time to heal. You cannot rush it but you can help to alleviate its pain. One of the most thoughtful things we can do as grievers is to concentrate on the present moment; be present in your life and grounded in your body.

Everything you think you know about healthy eating is making you fat and tired. Lawd have mercy – nutrition and diet info is everywhere! Even my UPS driver was trying to give me nutrition advice and sell me on his supplements. It’s a hot mess of misinformation out there to wade through. And each expert and/or association tries to lead you in their direction because they know best and their advice is going to help you. Right?

Add ingredients to blender in order listed (you want your greens on the bottom by the blade so they blend better and have the chia on the bottom to absorb some liquid before you blend). Wait a couple of minutes for the chia seeds to start soaking up the almond milk.

Pumpkin Spice Latte. Add all ingredients to blender and blend until creamy. Serve & enjoy!

Fast forward a few hours and I’m fully off the rails and eating and drinking everything in site. What happened? I look down at my bloatedness and see her … my Food Baby. Is that what I was expecting?

Fear. Last year was a tough one. Everything I thought, loved, and believed in changed in an instant and after those moments I would never be the same. What followed was a journey that I can be grateful for now.

The night began with an evening drop off at the Lihue, Kauai airport after a wonderfully eventful day. Wow. I was on a high just arriving at the airport thanks to some great energy from a new friend. Everything was seamless on Hawaiian Airlines to Honolulu at 10:47 PM and arrived 11:30 PM. I then had to haul myself over to the China Airlines terminal around midnight to board with hundreds of others for a 1:15 AM flight! Cray cray!

I’ve been on the island almost two weeks now. After hair and blood tests confirmed that my adrenals were completely depleted – I had broken sleep, anxiety, and hot/cold flashes. I had taken care of many people throughout the years in this state but never had an appreciation until I walked this road myself.

It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged. I feel I’ve been through a long and weary war to some extent. During those dark times I didn’t feel the need to manufacture anything happy and joyful to blog world.

For example, acupuncture and herbs will not work to address tubal adhesions which can occur as a result of pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. However, in this situation, an individual could still benefit from acupuncture and herbs because of the potential effect of improved ovarian and follicular function. Additionally, acupuncture can increase blood flow to the endometrium, helping to facilitate a thick, rich lining..
