Many people want to remain in their own homes, independently, for as long as possible. The word “home” provides a sense of comfort, safety and familiarity. During the COVID pandemic, this couldn’t ring more true. With many businesses and services closed or severely limited, now is the time you may consider all inclusive home health care services. Staying home with all services provided by exclusive staff greatly reduces the risk for exposure to COVID-19 while still enabling you to remain safe, independent and alleviate potential loneliness.

Health Begins in the Gut
If you know what depression feels like – the brain clouding, the flat moods, the tiredness – you’re not alone. You’ve likely felt butterflies in your stomach when you’re feeling nervous or anxious. Well, it turns out that the relationship between the brain and the gut is bi-directional. Our brains affect how our gut feels and our gut relays its signals of calm or alarm via the nervous system up to the brain. The goal when treating depression is to send a signal of safety – from your gut, from your mind and by lessening perceived stressors and burdens through detoxification.
Electro-magnetic Fields (EMFs)
Low-level radiation is one type of EMF exposure and is emitted from cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, computers, and even power lines. Some scientists report that this type of EMF exposure can cause sleep disturbances, including insomnia; headache; depression and depressive symptoms; changes in memory; and lack of concentration. You can reduce the risk by using the speakerphone function on your cell phone instead of holding it to your ear. Charge your phone in a different room at night, or put it on airplane/flight mode while you sleep. Products are also available that counteract harmful frequencies using healthy ones.
