How’s Your Immunity? How’s Your Gut Health?

Colonies of good bacteria live inside our gut and help us to properly digest food and absorb nutrients, and they play a big role in overall immunity. However, these colonies can become depleted, and the decrease of these colonies can negatively affect the entire digestive system and result in constipation, abdominal discomfort, and suboptimal health. Good bacteria can become depleted for a number of reasons, including illness, gastric or intestinal absorption disorders, autoimmune diseases, chronic alcohol use, poor diet, antibiotic use, and the misuse of certain medications such as laxatives. VitaDophilus® is a convenient, effective way to naturally help support healthy gut flora.

What’s Causing Your Symptoms?

Bioresonance therapy can be used as a complementary tool in healthcare alongside conventional medical techniques. While conventional medicine answers the ‘what’ of a condition or disease, bioresonance therapy can go further to help answer the ‘why’. It does so by looking at the root cause of the illness or condition using a more holistic approach. For example, it’s possible for bioresonance therapy to detect stress in the body that may not be revealed by things like blood tests. Rather than looking at a single issue or symptom, bioresonance therapy considers the patient as a whole, using non-invasive and drug-free techniques.

PPE for Everyday Use

When it comes to your health and safety, it’s best to choose the right personal protective equipment (PPE). Use FDA/CDC-approved, hypoallergenic masks that are ideally three layers (with one of those layers being a vapor block). They should also have very low breathing resistance, an integrated nose bridge, and high filtration capacity. A high-quality fingertip pulse oximeter is an easy and inexpensive way to check your oxygen levels at home, which can help you monitor for low levels that may be a concern. Finally, ensure you are using hand sanitizer that has been approved by Health Canada.

The Importance of Movement

Have you heard that sitting is the new smoking? Research has shown that sedentary lifestyles are a risk factor for cardiometabolic morbidity and all-cause mortality. So, what can we do? 1) If possible, use a standing to sitting desk; if you work from home and own a treadmill, create a makeshift treadmill desk. 2) Take the stairs instead of the elevator. 3) Walk around the office building at lunch or on breaks – meaning take lunch and give your brain a mental break. 4) Try something new like yoga, Pilates, tai qi, CrossFit, or recreational sports to find the right fit.
