Simplifying Weight Loss

Releasing fat from our body can be frustrating, time-consuming and emotionally exhausting! A certified weight loss coach takes all of the guesswork out of how to eat, what to eat and the best exercise practices to get the results you’re looking for. The science behind weight loss is powerful and works, but who has time to do the extensive research on macros, calories and exercise regimens? Take the keto lifestyle, for example. Complicated to figure out on your own? YES! But a coach can simplify the whole process and bring you emotional freedom while you get the results you deserve.

Are you the parent you wished you had?

It’s common to have at least a few things that you wish would have been different during your childhood. Have you ever stopped to think about what beliefs and habits you carried on from your parents that might not be serving you or your children? Moms and dads, just like you, can identify old ideas in their belief systems that no longer serve them, do the emotional healing work and raise a new generation to flourish in healthier ways. Unsolved loss, which means unsolved pain, limits our life, steals us from the opportunity to be an example for our children of how to live life in a full way. It is recommended that you find an action-based, powerful, directed approach to healing from life’s deepest heartbreaks.

Cordless Phones – The Elephant in the Room

While most people have heard the connection to EMF exposure and cell phones, few think twice about the cordless phone sitting by your nightstand. These phones are now almost always DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication) phones. Almost all DECT base stations send microwave radiation 24 X 7 and can account for a large portion of the wireless exposure in a home. Many scientists believe that this disrupts our brain’s intercellular signaling which accounts for many of the adverse health effects that people experience. For a more restful sleep, these phones should have no place in a sleeping area such as a bedroom – and better yet – think of switching these over to a hard-lined (old style corded) phone.

March is Nutrition Month!

Nutrition Month is a great time to consider the importance nutrition plays in our day-to-day lives. This year’s Nutrition Month theme centres around the idea that nutrition and healthy eating can look different from person to person. You may have special dietary restrictions based on one or more health conditions, or you may require a special diet to meet your unique nutrition needs. Proper nutrition is important for your overall health and may help prevent chronic health conditions. A trained home care provider can help with in-home food preparation to ensure your meals are nourishing and tailored to your needs!

The Power of Touch

There are approximately 5 million touch receptors in your skin and 3000 on the tip of your finger. Whenever we get touched or when we receive a massage, our body releases endorphins that are natural pain-killers. Massage not only helps us relax, but it also gives our immune system a boost! Receiving a 45-minute massage has been found to increase the number of white blood cells that help defend the body from disease. Do you suffer from sleep problems? 60 minutes of massage have the same effect on your body as 7 to 8 hours of good sleep. The antidote to a stressful day or health ailments could lie right at our fingertips.

Maintaining Oral Health Naturally

Tooth decay, gingivitis, and periodontitis are chronic conditions that can contribute to other serious health conditions like heart and cardiovascular problems. Micro-organisms can enter the bloodstream or airways and travel to other areas of the body. Along with regular dental hygiene, some natural supports include: 1) A low-sugar, high-greens diet – to keep an alkaline environment. 2) Oil pulling – use quality organic sesame or coconut oil and swish in the mouth for 20 minutes to help draw out toxins (then spit it out). 3) Probiotics – open a capsule and swish before swallowing or try a specific oral-based lozenge or spray.

Lets Talk About Self Love/Self Care!

What is Self Love/Self Care? It’s a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions which support our physical, psychological and spiritual growth. Self love will mean something different to just about everyone as we have different ways to take care of ourselves. It can vary from setting heathy boundaries, trusting and/or prioritizing yourself or not self judging. Self love can be intertwined with self care. This may include listening to your body, putting the phone down, moving your body or learning to become more mindful, kind, patient and gentle with yourself.
