Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Life by Lisa Esile & Franco Esile. Most of us spend our lives trailing after our minds, allowing our brains to take us in directions that are safe and secure, controlled and conformed. Whose Mind Is It Anyway? will help you learn how to separate what you want from what your brain wants and how to do less when your mind is trying to trick you into doing more. In a colorful, funny, and nonthreatening way, it answers the difficult question of how we can take control of our self-defeating behaviors.

October 17th – 7pm – 930pm. Understanding the Messages from Your Body – Insights to your imbalances. Did you know that when there is pain or tension in one’s body – there is likely tension or pain going on in one’s life. Your mind and body work together and when one is in harmony it usually reflected in another. When one is out of harmony in their life – that will be reflected in their body. For example, if one is not acknowledging the fear of something, their knees could be weak and cannot heal normally. If one is worried about finances, then one’s lower back could be tight or sore. As we create harmony in our lives, this creates harmony in our body. Inspire You Studio. 435 Rosser Ave. Robinchant.com
The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method – It Just Makes Sense
Do any of the following sound familiar?
I’m tired of going on a diet, reaching my goal weight, and ending up putting all those pounds back on a few months or a year later. I’m tired of pushing clothes to the back of my closet with the hopes that I will fit into them again one day. I’m just plain tired of always feeling tired.
Many of us struggle with taking off and maintaining our ideal weight. If you have made any of the above statements at some point, then the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method may be the answer you’ve been looking for. The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is unlike many other weight loss programs out there.
What is the Ideal Protein Weight Lose Method?
The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method consists of four phases that have a beginning and an end. It is a medically derived weight loss method that is predictable, repeatable and measurable. The methodology behind Ideal Protein was developed by Dr. Tran Tieh Chanh, MD PHD, who spent much of his career conducting research on nutrition and the treatment of obesity. We know that our body uses carbohydrates as our first and main source of energy. Once our body has depleted the carbohydrate reserves, it will then use the muscles and fat for energy. 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.
How does the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method make the body use fat as its primary source of energy?
This is achieved by carefully restricting carbohydrate consumption in the first two phases of the protocol, since it is often the simple and complex carbohydrates that prevent weight loss. With Ideal Protein, dieters not only successfully lose the weight, but they also learn how and why the body responds effectively to a carbohydrate-controlled diet. The third phase is the transitional phase, which will help dieters prepare for the final lifestyle phase. In this final phase, dieters will learn how to maintain and manage their weight loss while ensuring nutritional requirements are being met.
What makes the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method stand out from all the other weight loss programs?
With many weight loss programs, it’s all up to the individual to lose the weight. With Ideal Protein, you are not alone. You will receive one-on-one personal coaching to support you throughout every stage of your weight loss journey from start to finish. We all know how difficult it is to stick with any diet, therefore, the coach is there to help support you during your weakest moments. Your Ideal Protein coach will be with you through each and every phase as your resource and to cheer you on.
How do I know if the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method a good option for me?

Snoring?
Snoring is a topic that is well known to many of us and our spouses. If you have tried all of the pillows, mouth guards and gadgets advertised, you may want to try these simple and effective suggestions so that you can get a really good night’s rest.
Here are our choices for the most effective essential oils for snoring. Sage, Thyme, Marjoram, Lavender, and Cedarwood.
Diffusers are really a terrific way to use the following essential oils at night time.
Sage Oil
One of the best things about sage oil is the effect that it can have on the respiratory tracts. It can relieve inflammation, while also helping to quickly soothe sinus infections, making it an effective solution for acute snoring that is caused by a temporary illness.
How to Use – You can blend 5 drops of sage oil in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and rub it on your chest or neck before going to sleep. This can help clear out your sinuses while you sleep and boost your immune system against the underlying infection. (Also, great for hot flashes 😊)
Another really great way to use this oil is to add 4-5 drops to your diffuser.
Thyme Oil
If your snoring often causes you to wake up multiple times per night, you may need to find a deeper level of sleep! Thyme oil is known to soothe the body and nervous system, leading to uninterrupted and deeper sleep, which is really important if you want to get rid of your snoring.
How to Use – Mix equal parts thyme oil with olive oil and apply it to the wrists and the bottom of the feet before you go to sleep.
You can also add thyme oil to your diffuser for use during the night.
Lavender Oil
This legendary essential oil can be used for everything from sleeplessness to cardiovascular problems and specifically addresses many of the causes of snoring. This oil is among the most popular natural remedies for snoring.
How to Use – Some people choose to place a few drops of this essential oil on their pillow at night to promote clear breathing and stress-free sleep.
Diffusing is one of the most effective ways to use this oil. Add 4-5 drops into your diffuser before bed time.
Cedarwood Oil
By stimulating both the immune and respiratory systems, this oil can quickly counter the factors that lead to snoring. It can reduce inflammation to keep the airways open and calm the mind to deliver higher-quality sleep.
How to Use – This underused oil can be blended with thyme oil, lavender oil and coconut oil then applied to the neck, chest, wrists or feet before bed.
Marjoram Oil
This sinus-clearing oil has been wildly popular in traditional medicine for its ability to stop snoring – often after only a few nights of regular use. Armed with antioxidants and stimulating active ingredients, this oil is closely linked with treatment for sleep apnea, which is one of the main causes of snoring.
How to Use – Mix 4-5 drops of marjoram oil with 1 teaspoon of a carrier oil and apply it to the outer rim of the nostrils, or directly above the top lip. If that is too intense of an aroma, simply apply it to the neck and chest before sleep.

Little-Known Vitamin K2 Has Big Benefits
Vitamin K2 is a little-known vitamin essential for strong, healthy bones, and cardiovascular health. K2 stimulates production of bone-building protein osteocalcin and inhibits bone breakdown, maintaining bone density and decreasing fractures (1).
K2 supports cardiovascular health by helping to move calcium into bones and away from the arteries. In the Rotterdam Heart Study, people with the highest (vs. lowest) dietary vitamin K2 intake had a 57% lower risk of death from heart disease (2).
Vitamin K2 is found in the fermented soybean food natto as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), which is highly bioavailable and bioactive. Only MK-7 offers 24-hour protection from a single daily dose (3).
Vitamin K2 is available in a vegetarian-friendly, one-a-day, non-GMO supplement providing MK-7 to support strong bones and a healthy heart.
Caution
If you are taking blood thinners, consult a health care practitioner prior to using products containing vitamin K.

Travel Tip : Cindy Knows Travel
Most of us tend to stray from our normal healthy routine when on a trip, and personally, I’m okay with that. But when I’m en route to my destination, that’s a different story. On travel days, whenever possible, I try to avoid eating foods that make me feel lethargic and bloated. It can be difficult to fight the temptation to stop at fast food restaurants in the airport, load up on unhealthy treats to snack on mid-flight, or over-caffeinate to prepare for your trip. But all it takes is a little planning to avoid these common pitfalls so that you step off the plane feeling refreshed, healthy, and ready to start your adventure!

Catching Your Breath
Because breathing is an involuntary action, we rarely pay attention to the process. But did you know that how you breathe impacts your health? Deep nasal breathing can reduce stress, help you fall asleep faster, aid toxin removal, and lower blood pressure to a greater extent than mouth breathing can.
And did you know that your nasal passage serves as a biological air filter, humidifier, and air conditioner to cool the brain? So the next time you’re catching your breath, try deep breathing through your nose and note how much better you feel while going about your day.
Lyme Disease in Manitoba
Lyme Disease is an epidemic here in Manitoba. Lyme disease is spread from deer ticks that carry a bacteria known as Borrelia Burgdorferi. This bacteria weakens your immune system, allowing diseases to enter the body. One way to improve your immune system is with Bioresonance Therapy. This therapy involves sending healthy frequencies into your body. These frequencies increase the body’s energy and consequently improve your health. Many people are infected by ticks, but don’t suspect Lyme disease because they don’t recall being bitten. In fact, 50% of people infected don’t remember being bitten and LESS than 50% of people will get the tell-tale bulls-eye rash.
Need a Fast Recharge?
The thymus gland is a specialized organ of the human immune system. It is also one of the most important glands in the human body. Unfortunately, it starts to shrink and become less active after puberty. This can result in a weaker immune system, opening doors for infections and allergies, and contributing to fatigue. One way to activate the thymus, strengthen the immune system, and gain more energy is to tap the area where your thymus is located, which is the upper chest, directly behind your sternum and between your lungs. Continue tapping (light touch), until the area is a bit tender. Don’t forget to breathe!
