Improve Your Focus & Concentration
Very often the brain and nervous system become fatigued and overloaded. Much like a computer receiving too much data all at once, the brain can become overwhelmed, slow down, or even crash. This can result in an inability to focus, brain fog, memory loss, ADD/ADHS-like symptoms, a “wired” feeling, or the inability to cope with daily life. The key to turning these conditions around is to give the body what it needs to strengthen specific areas of the brain and nervous system. This can be achieved naturally with specialized nutritional formulations, which will replenish the body and alleviate symptoms.

Boosting your Immune System with Reiki
Did you know that Reiki can help improve immune function? Reiki offers a powerful, yet often overlooked, way to strengthen the immune system. It works by stimulating energy flow throughout the body, enhancing vitality and resilience. Reiki shifts energies in key areas—the gut, heart, and nervous system—to restore feelings of balance, improve immune function, and encourage faster recovery from illness. By clearing energetic blockages in a gentle and non-invasive way, Reiki ensures the body’s natural defenses are primed and effective. Whether used alongside conventional medicine or as a preventive wellness practice, Reiki supports your well-being at its core.
Foods to Keep You Hydrated
Staying hydrated isn’t just about drinking water; consuming water-rich foods is also vital. Fruits and vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, and strawberries contain high water content, which helps maintain hydration. These foods not only provide fluids but also essential vitamins and minerals that support overall health. Incorporating salads, smoothies, and soups into your diet can further enhance hydration levels. Foods with high water content can be especially beneficial in hot weather or during physical activity, ensuring the body remains adequately hydrated without the need to constantly drink fluids. This approach supports digestive health and overall well-being.
Are You A Mosquito Magnet?
Did you ever wonder why some people are mosquito magnets, while others are hardly bothered? One theory is based on the fact that your skin is a source of elimination. Eat too much garlic, and it will literally come through your pores. If sugars are not metabolized properly, the byproducts must be eliminated, and one of those pathways is the skin. It is believed that mosquitos are attracted to the excess metabolized sugar. Vitamin B1 is known to help the body burn sugars more efficiently, thereby reducing excess sugar coming out of the pores, and your skin from attracting mosquitos. Nutritional testing can reveal if you are lacking B1 and other essential nutrients that are making you a mosquito magnet.
