How to Shift Your Mindset for Healing (Free Masterclass)

6/4/2023

Causes of Chronic Illness

I've been interested in health for a long time, and especially how we, as individuals, can take control of our own health and lead naturally healthy lives amidst today's onslaught of chronic disease.

However, in recent years, I have become more and more fascinated with the impact that our minds have on our physical health. Even modern medicine - with all its flaws - recognizes this phenomenon (just look at the frequent reports of placebos offering relief from so many symptoms and diseases).

So I am looking forward to exploring this topic in more depth in this upcoming masterclass. If you would like to learn more about how to improve your health through mindset, please register to join me for this special series!

The Mind-Body-Spirit Connection: Holistic Health for Total Well-Being

5/21/2023

Holistic health & the mind-body-spirit connection

One thing that sets a holistic health approach apart from the conventional allopathic medicine model is its recognition that everything is connected - and not just the physical aspects of health, but also mental and spiritual factors as well.

Holistic health inherently implies that the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected and must be addressed as a whole to achieve optimal well-being. This perspective recognizes that our physical health is intimately linked to our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and that each aspect impacts the others in profound ways.

In today's post, we will explore these connections, and how we can use them to improve our overall health and well-being.

What Is Holistic Health? Exploring the Key Principles & Benefits

4/30/2023

Holistic health principles

I've shared a lot on this blog about holistic and healthy living, but I thought it was time to define a more concrete pathway to holistic health and its principles and benefits. Over the summer, I plan to expand upon this definition by exploring various aspects of holistic health, so stay tuned!

To start off with, it seems like a good idea to define holistic health in a bit more detail.

At its core, holistic health is a philosophy of health that views the human body and mind as interconnected and dependent upon each other for optimal well-being.

Unlike the modern allopathic medicine approach, the holistic approach to health considers the entire person, including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, as well as environment, lifestyle, and social relationships.

Holistic health recognizes that the body is not just a collection of parts that need to be fixed when something goes wrong! Instead, it views the body as a complex system that is in constant communication with its environment and is constantly adapting to maintain balance and harmony.

Below are a few of the key principles of holistic health, and the benefits it can bring to those who implement these principles into our daily lives.

[Podcast] Mastering Your Mindset: The Key to Health & Happiness

4/9/2023

Mindset & health

We're back this week with an interesting post that's a little different from our usual. This podcast episode from the Doctor's Farmacy focuses on the importance of mindset when it comes to happiness, success, and even health.

Your mind is so much more powerful than you know - and even with all of our modern technology, we are only just beginning to scratch the surface of what our minds can truly accomplish...

In this episode, functional medicine doctor, Mark Hyman, interviews Lewis Howes - a New York Times best-selling author, keynote speaker, and former professional football player about how to unlock the power of the mind, eliminate self-sabotaging thoughts, and pursue a meaningful mission in life. If you've ever struggled with fear, self-doubt, or limiting beliefs (and who among us hasn't?), you won't want to miss this special episode!

[February Freebie] Unbiased News You Can Trust

2/5/2023

Welcome to February! For your freebie this month, I'm sharing something a little different... I was recently introduced to this really cool resource that I thought our visitors and subscribers may find interesting and helpful.

If you’re anything like me, watching mainstream news has gotten harder and harder over the years.

It's often depressing and stressful – and it's designed that way!

The unfortunate truth is that TV producers know that fear-mongering is an effective method to keep you glued to their channel.

Did you know over 90% of what you read, watch, or listen to is controlled by just 6 companies?!

These days, it's even become hard to read news online.

Headlines designed for “clickbait” oversimplify complex ideas and keep pushing us towards more tribalism and division, which I find extremely frustrating.

The good news is, there’s now a proper alternative - AND you can access it for FREE!

Read more below to find out how - it takes less than 30 seconds...

Homestead Gratitude 2022

11/20/2022

Homestead gratitude

I am still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that Thanksgiving is already here... Where did this year go?!? It seems like just a few days ago that I was marveling over how early I was able to clean up the fall garden this year, and how I had plenty of time to finish before winter... Now winter is here, and I've been mulching and moving hay bales in 19-degree windchill all weekend!

Fortunately, it looks like we'll have a little warmup for the week ahead, so maybe I can actually get things finished soon - fingers crossed!

Anyway, Thanksgiving means...

...it's time for this year's gratitude list!

This year, I'm specifically focusing on the things I'm grateful for on the homestead, so you can consider this a homestead update as well. :-) We are so blessed to have such a wonderful place to live, and I want to celebrate that in today's post. I hope it inspires you to think about the little things you're grateful for in your life as well!

5/1/2022

You probably already know that being in nature feels good! Spending time in a natural setting is one of the best ways to relax and de-stress.

However, did you know that science shows that just being outdoors in nature actually has measurable health benefits?

That's the topic of this month's "freebie," and it's just in time for the most beautiful time of year to be outdoors in Ohio! :-) (I really believe Ohio is one of the most beautiful places on earth right now - at least for the next couple of months.)

Grab your copy here (or learn more below) - it will only take a couple of minutes - and then get outside and enjoy all the amazing things nature can do for your health!

3 Ways to Eat Local Year-Round

4/17/2022

How to eat local year-round

Eating local is an admirable goal. It supports local farmers, redirects money away from the destructive industrial food system, and provides healthier, fresher food for your family. For all these reasons and more, it is worth the effort to seek out local and sustainable food sources.

However, it can sometimes seem like more work than we're willing to put in - after all, we humans are lazy creatures by nature! Shopping at your local supermarket is so simple and convenient... And you can always find the same foods there year-round, whereas in many areas, it can be difficult to find locally grown produce in the winter months. The tradeoff is that you give up any and all control over the source of your food supply.

However, the good news is that you don't have to trade health and sustainability for convenience - these days it is easier and easier to find local sources of food - especially if you live in a large metropolitan area. Farmers markets and community supported agriculture (CSA) programs can be found even in small towns today, and the internet makes it easier than ever to find and connect with local farmers year-round.

Even here in Ohio, we have been able to find sources of locally grown produce in the winter, and we buy the majority of our meat directly from local farms, which not only are able to offer a much higher quality product at a more affordable price, but also offer us the comfort of knowing how our food is grown and raised.

If you want to find a way to eat more locally-produced food, support your community farmers and producers, and have more control over your food supply, below are 3 tips for eating local year-round - even if you don't live in California!

3/6/2022

Welcome to March! With spring just around the corner, I've been busy as can be, trying to finish all my indoor cleanup projects before garden season arrives.

Anyway, with a new month upon us, I wanted to share your monthly freebie - it's a really cool guide about forming healthy habits, from a functional medicine perspective. Grab your copy below, and if you would like to learn more about achieving health through simple healing habits like the ones you'll learn about inside, be sure to check out the upcoming online event on this topic (details below).
