Acupuncture for Gastrointestinal Disorders
If you’ve tried conventional medicine to keep digestive problems in check without success, consider acupuncture, which is a holistic health treatment without side effects. Many modern clinical studies show that acupuncture alters various biochemical and physiological states to treat a wide variety of gastrointestinal illnesses, like irritable bowel syndrome, Chron’s disease, gallstones, heartburn, indigestion, constipation, and diarrhea. Acupuncture may help by improving gastrointestinal motility and restoring stomach acidity to normal levels; Reducing serum levels of serotonin which can help the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome; Reducing inflammation by promoting release of vascular and immunomodulatory factors, and improving delayed gastric emptying.

Winterize Your Sprinkler System
Fall is a great time to get your sprinkler system ready for the winter and ensure it’s working its best when spring rolls around again. A properly working sprinkler system helps keep your lawn healthy and lush. Winterizing your sprinkler system is important to prevent the pipes from freezing and bursting during those long, cold winter months. This involves draining all water from pipes and parts and making note of any needed repairs. It’s also crucial to use a properly regulated commercial-grade air compressor to blow out all pipes, valves, sprinkler heads and other parts.

Hypothyroidism
Do you feel tired and cold? You may have Hypothyroidism. Also called underactive thyroid or low thyroid, Hypothyroidism is a disorder of the endocrine system in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. It can cause a number of symptoms, such as poor ability to tolerate cold, a feeling of tiredness, constipation, depression, and weight gain. Bioresonance therapy may rebuild your energy level by stimulating the white blood cells to produce more energy. This is done by sending healthy frequencies into your body. Bioresonance therapy is completely painless and non-invasive.
Finding Your Purpose
Understanding your purpose and putting a plan into action that includes a personal vision, mission and life goals will help to keep you focused on achieving your potential. Think about the things in life that bring you great joy – work that you would almost do for free, just because it brings you such self-satisfaction. Or what seems to come easy to you, or perhaps opportunities that keep showing up to bless you. These are clues to the discovery of your purpose. Taking time to focus on a life plan, with goals and timelines, will strategically create success for you!
Feeling Restless?
With everything that’s currently going on in the world, it’s easy to feel restless, overwhelmed or anxious. Rather than stressing about all the uncertainty, now is the time to put your efforts and focus into what you actually can control. Taking time every day for movement or exercise, meditation, gentle stretching, or getting outside for a walk or run in the fresh air will make a world of difference for both your physical and mental well-being. As we navigate these uncertain times, keep on moving!
Screen Time For Everyone
Our bodies are made up of approximately 360 joints, the majority of which are designed to move. If we sit for long periods of time, these joints lose motion and therefore function. This may lead to a variety of issues if we continue with a sedentary lifestyle and don’t incorporate healthy movement into our day. For those of you stuck at your desk, stand up every 20-30 minutes, look away from your screen and perform some chest opening stretches for 30-45 seconds. Balance out screen time for kids with running on the spot or some jumping jacks every 20-30 minutes.
