Hearing Loss Impacts Your Wellbeing
Hearing loss is more than just an annoyance. It has a significant impact on your health, social, and economic state. Even a mild loss can result in communication difficulties. This commonly leads to withdrawal from social situations, creating social isolation. A lack of social connection can have serious consequences on mental health, including depression and mental degradation. Studies indicate those with untreated hearing loss are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, and are twice more likely to develop dementia. Hearing loss can also impact your work, affecting income. Don’t compromise your health and overall wellbeing. If you’ve noticed changes in your hearing, get your hearing tested.
Pedicures – Not Just for Looks
Are your feet ready for summer? Pedicures are the perfect way to help your feet look their best especially with sandal season now underway. It is not all about looks. Pedicures help your feet stay healthy. During a pedicure, calluses that can cause infection and pain are removed. Signs of nail disease can be detected and stopped before becoming problematic. A pedicure includes a foot and leg massage which can help relieve tension in your muscles and joints. Treat yourself to a pedicure, guilt-free, for your health and wellbeing.
Shoulder & Rotator Cuff Pain Relief
To eliminate the pain of frozen shoulder or rotator cuff injuries and to regenerate the joint, especially with osteo-arthritic elements; acupuncture and Prolozone injection therapy are my treatment protocols. Each component of Prolozone therapy has a specific biological purpose. Procaine acts to re-establish cellular membrane potentials. Anti-inflammatory agents decrease edema and swelling. The inclusion of vitamins and minerals provides necessary substrates of oxygen utilization that in damaged tissues are often deficient. And finally, oxygen utilization is directly stimulated by ozone. It is excellent for all forms of musculo-skeletal and joint pain.
Game Theory & Common Sense
Game theory is the mathematical study of games that goes beyond the theory of probability to include the behaviour of other players. But most of the time, gamblers do not pay strict attention to probability let alone other more complex mathematical considerations. Despite knowing that the odds are stacked against us, and our money likely lost, we continue to gamble for our own individual reasons. Michael Jordan once said, ”I want people to understand, gambling is not a bad thing if you do it within the framework of what it’s meant to be, which is fun and entertaining.”
Successful Aging
Some people assume that once we reach a certain age our bodies begin an unavoidable downward spiral of decay. While many of us do become stiff as we age, the stiffness could be attributed to holding tension in the body as a result of exposure to physical, psychological, or emotional stressors, rather than from aging itself. Through simple, safe, somatic body movement exercises, patterns of muscle stiffness are unlearned and more successful aging occurs as our bodies remember how to relax and move freely.
One Change at a Time
Fitness is a life long journey. It can’t be earned in one workout, gained by eating well for one week, or through one eight hour sleep. The long-term benefits only come to those who stick with the plan, adapt as life changes, and most importantly enjoy the ride. We call this building healthy habits. Imagine if you ate one apple a day and did 20-30 minutes of varied physical activity 3 days per week. Over one year that would be 365 apples and 78 hours of physical activity accumulated through your habits. Focus on making only one change every 2-4 weeks and watch your life change.

Diamond Health Assessment
Determining the underlying root cause of health issues is the key to treatment. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a measure of Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) balance and strength and consequently your systematic health and resilience. ANS controls internal body processes such as blood pressure, heart and breathing rates, body temperature, digestion, metabolism, body fluids and sexual response. A Nutri-Energetic Systems (NES) scan identifies blockages in the body’s energetic structure and field which serves as a master control system for all physiological function. By combining HRV with the NES Bioenergy scan it is possible to find and see changes in the body on the energetic level and in the underlying structure. This helps to determine where to focus in the healing and rebalancing approach.
