Optimal Wellness: 5 Steps to Improve Digestion & Immunity, Reduce Inflammation and Balance Your Hormones
With my 5 Steps to Optimal Wellness Program, you will rebuild your health from the bottom up. Each step on the path to wellness, will serve as a building block for the next.
Our first step will be to build a solid foundation, which is essential to reclaiming and achieving lasting health. We will also identify and remove any barriers to health and create an individualized program that supports healing for the whole body. Then we will improve your nutrition program, digestion, get your body to detoxify more deeply, improve immunity, reduce inflammation, balance your hormones, and support every system in YOUR body so that you can have the energy and vitality you need to live your life to the fullest.
Together, we will discover what is getting in the way of your health. We will look at all of those things that are causing cracks in your foundation. We will seal up those areas that are being drained and depleted of vital life energy.
Every step of the way, we will consider your whole health, and work to uncover the root cause of whatever is blocking you from feeling great every day and reaching the next level of wellness!
Achieving optimal health can be fun, and rewarding, are you ready to take the next step?
Step 1: Laying a Strong Foundation
In step one, we will ensure that you are meeting your basic nutritional and overall health needs. First and foremost, good nutrition must come from our diet. However, most of us are over-consuming sugar, processed foods, chemicals, caffeine, trans-fats, energy drinks and devitalized foods that have been stripped of all nutritional value. Furthermore, our overly processed diets lack the raw vitamins, minerals, and enzymes needed for optimal function and health.
I will teach you how to eat real food that feeds your body what it needs to THRIVE. Hippocrates, father of modern medicine, has been quoted as saying…”let food by thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. Food can either contribute to our health, or contribute to our disease. However most of us are stuck in a rut. Food has become our cheap, quick energy fix, with poor quality ingredients. Our food, often times, is no longer food, by the time it hits our shelf.
Step 2: Finding Your Balance
Our chemical, structural and physical make-up comprises our constitution. Our constitution weakens with illness, poor nutrition and chemicals, resulting in susceptibility to great imbalances. Because all systems affect each other, and do no work independently of one another, it is important to be able to address the WHOLE person. We can regain homeostasis through various forms of therapies that help more than one system at a time and stimulate health and well-being.
Tibetan Acupressure and Symphony of the Cells are very powerful and effective modalities that can do this. They can facilitate change on a multi-dimensional level. They work on several processes or systems at once, including the nervous and immune system, and drive the body into healing at a faster rate. I recommend that you get these done weekly or 1-2 times per month at the beginning of your treatment to drive healing at a faster rate.
Benefits of Tibetan Acupressure:
Step 3: Gut Reboot
Allergies, autoimmune diseases, asthma, arthritis, bodily inflammation, bowel dysbiosis, IBS, IBD , skin problems, weight gain, headaches, energy slumps, metabolism slowdowns, leaky gut, joint issues, gas, bloating, malabsorption, yeast, bowel issues are all related to our gut health.
The average adult has 2-6 pounds of microbes in their gut. Our microbiota encodes 3.3 million genes. That’s almost 150 times more than the human genome. Many important metabolic functions in the gut are carried out exclusively by our microbiota.
Hippocrates told us 2000 years ago that "bad digestion is the root of all evil. Ongoing research confirms that the root cause for many undesired immune reactions originates in the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Our natural gut flora is responsible for keeping the bad guys out, like yeast, parasites, viruses and other pathogens. They also produce vitamins like Vitamin K, and are part of our immune system. Recent research is now showing that they produce neurotransmitters like serotonin and help regulate our mood. It is important that we keep them happy, alive and well and not damage them through repeated antibiotic use, vaccines, chemicals, toxins, stress, gluten and poor lifestyle.
Step 4: Happy Hormones
Hypothyroidism, Adrenal Fatigue, Insulin Resistance, Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome, High Cholesterol, Menopause, Perimenopause, PMS, Andropause, Low libido, erectile dysfunction, PCOS, Depression, Anxiety are all related to an imbalance in our hormones.
Many of our hormone imbalances can be traced to our diets and an excessive consumption of processed sugar, and not enough good healthy protein and fats with our meals. We are now consuming upwards of 150-240lbs of sugar per year. A lot of this sugar is coming in the form of high fructose corn syrup, processed white flour (breads, pastas, bagels, cookies, cakes, pancakes, etc.) and processed white sugar. We are addicted to sugar! Sugar produces an opiate like effect on the brain, and also triggers the release of dopamine, the hormone that makes us feel good. These chemical changes to our brain and nervous system is so strong, that some people can experience withdrawal when they get off sugar. Additionally, the more sugar you eat, the stronger your cravings. Additionally, sugar is very inflammatory and feeds cancer and yeast, creating challenges for our immune and digestive systems.
Our first step will be to build a solid foundation, which is essential to reclaiming and achieving lasting health. We will also identify and remove any barriers to health and create an individualized program that supports healing for the whole body. Then we will improve your nutrition program, digestion, get your body to detoxify more deeply, improve immunity, reduce inflammation, balance your hormones, and support every system in YOUR body so that you can have the energy and vitality you need to live your life to the fullest.
