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.

Help for Spring Allergies

Spring means warmer and longer days, but for those who suffer from seasonal allergies, it can also mean experiencing symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy and watery eyes, ear congestion, itchy throat, and headaches. One of the most common causes of spring allergies is pollen from trees like birch, cedar, willow, and poplar, as well as from early grasses and weeds. These pollens act as allergens that trigger an allergic reaction in the body, causing your immune system to overreact. Your pharmacist can recommend effective options for dealing with seasonal allergies, including prescribing treatments not available as over-the-counter products.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Is Keto for Me?

If you are struggling with low energy, brain fog and want to lose weight and burn fat, but you have no idea where to start, a keto lifestyle could be for you! Doing keto the right way doesn’t involve pills or powders, but simply focuses on administering whole foods the right way. It means eating the right amount of calories and implementing a correct keto macro formula of the right healthy foods to help you reach your health and weight loss goals. Working with a certified keto coach means you don’t have to do any intense research or guesswork, as you can simply follow the plan that’s been tailored to you!

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.
