Spring is the Season of Love

When the weather warms up, so does our heart. Why is that? Science of course. Spring is a season of cliches — birds singing, bees buzzing and people falling madly in love. All this love can be blamed on one very real thing – dopamine! Every April your brain unintentionally becomes a dopamine factory, turning you into a love junkie. Dopamine is a naturally occurring chemical your brain uses to make you want things. There are other systems involved in love, but when it comes to new love, dopamine is the main culprit. And with enough of it swirling around your system, you’re prone to fall in love — and fall hard.

Effects of Concussions on Vision

When someone has a head injury, they typically have vision problems that can be temporary or permanent. When a vision problem is causing or contributing to a problem with reading, balance, or movement, the recovery process will move slowly until the vision component is treated. Some symptoms might disappear after a while, such as eye pain or headaches, and yet other symptoms may remain, such as blurred or double vision, or vice versa. If you suspect that a concussion has caused vision problems resulting in difficulty coping with daily activities, see a developmental optometrist for a visual evaluation.

What is Diabetic Neuropathy?

Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by diabetes. Over time, high blood glucose levels can damage the small blood vessels that nourish your nerves with oxygen and nutrients. Without enough oxygen and nutrients, your damaged nerves can cause a loss of sensation in your feet, while others may experience a burning or shooting pain in their lower legs. VoxxLife HPT has been proven to improve circulation. In a clinical study involving 1,000 participants, more than 90% reported significant reduction in pain from diabetic neuropathy by using VoxxLife HPT technology. Improve your quality of life; wear VoxxLife neurotech.

By carefully following the Ideal Protein Protocol, your body will respond by using the fat as its primary source of energy, rather than carbohydrates first.

Talking About Hearing Loss

Do you find that you are repeating yourself to a loved one more often than you used to? When someone experiences hearing loss, they are often in denial at first. It can be frustrating for people close to them, but it is important to be empathetic. Hearing loss is more than just a loss of hearing, often people experiencing hearing loss fear it is a loss of vitality or a sign of declining health. Engage with them, ask about what they fear and why, let them talk it out and most importantly, educate yourself about the options.

Finding Your Strength When Life Gets Tough

No matter how healthy we live, how much kindness, generosity or fairness we practice or how positive we are, life can become too overwhelming and push us to our edges juggling way too many balls that seem humanly possible. Often our first impulse is to speed up, work harder, become relentless with activity accessing our survival warrior instinct to recreate stability. Important yes, but staying in this mode for too long burns out our adrenal system. Equally needed is to go into the river of quiet stillness, slow down the inner pace, sitting through our feelings of discomfort, access our inner warrior for guidance, releasing our burden to a higher source and listening for strength and clarity on how to best navigate a pathway through the outer demands to make space for a new way of being.
