Improve your bone health video class

Welcome back! It's time for your January Freebie, and I've got something a little different for you this month...

Osteoporosis is an issue that impacts millions of people (especially women) worldwide, and it can significantly affect quality of life in your later years. Simple falls, sprains, or even just tripping over something around the house can lead to fractures that limit mobility and activity, and reduce health and longevity.

The good news is, there are many things you can do to reduce your risk of osteoporosis while you are younger, or slow its progress as you age. And most of these natural techniques are simple, easy, and low-cost or even free to implement in your own life.

The folks over at Health Means have put together a free video this month to help you learn these techniques and put them into practice. The sooner you start working on your bone health, the better, since bones can take time to respond and grow stronger.

Learn more below, or check out the free video class here to find out what you can do right now to build strong, healthy bones that carry you with vigor into your golden years!

Managing Stress Using Holistic Health Approaches

12/17/2023

Managing holiday stress

The holiday season is upon us, and as much as I love this time of year, there's no doubt that it can also be stressful. Between juggling holiday parties, shopping, wrapping gifts, planning meals, visiting with family, and travel - along with the usual day-to-day activities - it's no wonder that this time of year sees a higher than usual number of heart attacks, not to mention mental health challenges such as anxiety, panic attacks, and just good old-fashioned stress.

There are many options for dealing with stress in a healthy way, and taking a holistic approach can be of great value. In this episode of our Holistic Health series, we'll explore how holistic health practices can be powerful tools for managing stress and enhancing mental health - both during the holidays and throughout the year.

[Video] Returning to Ancient Remedies to Promote Health

Ancient remedies for health Dr. Axe

There's no doubt that modern medicine has come a long way from it's early days of bloodletting and leeches as treatments for human diseases.

However, our ancestors had a much deeper knowledge than we give them credit for of how to use food and plants for healing.

While we should appreciate the technological advances that have given us things like open-heart surgery and emergency medical treatment, this doesn't mean that we should "throw the baby out with the bathwater" and discount valid ancient remedies which may still be helpful today.

In fact, as I've discussed here many times before, today's medical system relies far too heavily on prescribing drugs to manage symptoms, rather than preventing them in the first place by addressing the root cause of the problem.

By considering the wisdom of the past, we can find balance and better health through approaches such as dietary adjustments, stress reduction, herbal remedies, and more. These age-old tools alone can often provide substantial improvements and, in many cases, even a reversal of disease.

In this interview, Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Josh Axe discuss how ancient remedies and traditional nutritional wisdom can help to heal modern diseases and create vibrant health.

Can Eating Together Make You Healthier?

10/22/2023

Social eating together for health

Today we're exploring an interesting question: Can eating with friends and loved ones actually improve your health?

It's a question we Americans don't usually spend a lot of time thinking about.

In many European countries, mealtimes are considered social times, sometimes lasting hours, and involving plenty of stimulating conversation along with the food. I remember this as one of my favorite things about visiting Europe!

Growing up in a half-Italian family with several siblings, mealtimes were often noisy, boisterous affairs - especially when friends or extended family were involved. My husband still sometimes gets overwhelmed at Christmas dinner at my parents' house with all the generations gathered together talking over each other! :-)

However, in much of modern America, the trend over the past century seems to have been towards more and more solo eating habits. In this interesting podcast episode of The Doctor's Farmacy, they examine the question of whether this trend is negatively impacting our health as a nation...

The Benefits of Alternative Therapies in Holistic Health: From Acupuncture to Yoga

10/15/2023

Alternative therapies in holistic health

We're back this week after a quick break! This is the busiest time of year on the homestead, and this year is no exception. Between harvesting, preserving food, cleaning up the garden, and getting everything ready for winter, I've been hard pressed to keep up with the blogs, but this week, I've got the next episode for you in our Holistic Health series.

So far, we've covered the mind-body-spirit connection, exercise, nutrition, and sustainability. This week, we're addressing some of the common alternative therapies that you may come across in holistic health circles. While each of these modalities has its own benefits and limitations, all of them have been used by humans for hundreds - if not thousands - of years before the advent of modern medicine, and each has its own place in the holistic health approach.

Learn more below, and be sure to check out the other posts in this series for more on the holistic health approach!

How Our Health Impacts the Planet: Exploring the Connection Between Holistic Health & Sustainable Living

8/20/2023

Holistic health & sustainable living

Welcome back! I took last week off for our trip to Tennessee, but I'm back with another installment in our Holistic Health series for you today...

While we often think of holistic health as including things such as sleep, exercise, and, of course, nutrition, we may fail to consider the environment. Indeed, when you consider health as a holistic system, it must necessarily extend outside of our own individual bodies to encompass the planet as a whole.

After all, the world around us is what produces the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the whole of nature that keeps us healthy both physically and mentally!

In today's post, we will explore the connection between holistic health and sustainable living that honors the planet as well as our own health.

FREE Autoimmune Diet & Recipe Guide

8/6/2023

Auto-Immune Diet with recipes

It's August already, which means, it's time for your monthly freebie! :-)

This month, I've got a helpful guide for you on a serious topic. Excess inflammation has been linked to numerous diseases and health conditions, including devastating autoimmune conditions that impact millions of people worldwide.

Let's first clarify that inflammation has a purpose. Inflammation serves as a complex and dynamic response orchestrated by the body's immune system to combat harmful stimuli such as pathogens, injuries, or irritants.

However, an extended state of inflammation can have counterproductive effects on the immune system itself.

When the body remains in a perpetually inflamed state, the immune system's ability to function optimally becomes compromised. This weakening of the immune response can lay the groundwork for the emergence of autoimmune conditions, in which case, the immune system begins to mistakenly attack the body's own tissues and cells, leading to a self-destructive cycle.

To break free from this detrimental cycle and promote healing, reducing inflammation within the body becomes paramount. Embracing lifestyle changes that focus on dampening inflammation can have a profound impact on managing and mitigating autoimmune disorders. Dietary choices rich in anti-inflammatory components, such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and certain vitamins, can aid in reducing overall inflammation levels.

The good news is, this means that an autoimmune diet is a powerful way to reduce inflammation and autoimmune conditions. Download this month's free guide, and discover the top 12 anti-inflammatory foods - along with 20 great-tasting autoimmune-approved recipes!

[Free Online Event] The Sound Healing Summit

Sound healing summit

Welcome back! We're back from our Minnesota vacation, and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things, so I'm very thankful for the long weekend!

As we kick off July and move into the heart of summer, I thought I'd share an interesting event with you this week...

It may sound strange and a bit "woo-woo," but did you know that sound healing is one of the most rapidly growing fields in transformational health practices, and has been proclaimed by many as the future of healing?

Leading-edge research on the science and theory of sound and vibration has demonstrated its impact on your physical, mental, and emotional bodies by identifying and measuring bio-markers such as increased lymphatic circulation, increased production of melatonin and endorphins, creation of new neural pathways in the brain, and increased release of nitric oxide, a neurotransmitter fundamental to your health.

During the upcoming online Sound Healing Summit, you’ll encounter myriad vibrational techniques — including harmonics, tuning forks, sound baths, and voice — that can help you achieve heightened states of relaxation and rejuvenation. Learn more below, and register for your free spot to learn more about this unique healing modality!

Exercise for holistic health

We can't discuss holistic health without talking about things like nutrition, sleep, and exercise.

In this week's installment in this series, we will discuss the role of exercise in supporting our health, plus a few tips for finding the right type of exercise for your body and personal preferences.
