Warming Up Over the Holidays: The Benefits of Sauna Use
As the temperature drops this holiday season, there’s no better way to stay warm than by embracing the heat of a sauna! Not only is it a cozy escape from the chill, but regular sauna use offers a wide range of health benefits that can help you feel your best.
Fasting – Hurry Up and Stop Eating
The concept of fasting – having periods of not eating – is an emerging topic in health circles with more and more people opting to try this technique to help shed a few undesired pounds. Like many in the health profession, this concept initially concerned me with fears of metabolic slow down and system wide shut down, but I now view the concept of taking breaks from nutrient intake to be one of the most powerful tools we have in our arsenal for healing, improving healthspan and longevity and reversing metabolic conditions like obesity and diabetes.
The Holistic Nutritionist Difference
Holistic Nutrition is a relatively new profession, but the idea behind it is rooted in how we operate. As a Holistic Nutritionist, I help you work with your unique body, and take into consideration how everything in your life affects your health and wellness.
Manually Supporting the Body Through Detox
One of the most significant roles that manual therapy plays in treatment is encouraging the body to use its own resources to heal itself. This means that the main focus of my practice is to support the body through the healing process- whatever that may mean at the time.
Detox Diet
If you enter the words “Detox Diet” into a Google search, you will find at least 10 pages of sites promoting many different detox diets. Advertisements for detox diets make several exciting promises, ranging from weight loss and the elimination of cellulite to feeling healthier overall and having beautiful, glowing skin. Pretty inspiring but do they work? And how do you choose the right one?
Detoxification
There is no separation, really, between us and our environment. There is no separation between the quality of the air we breathe and the oxygen that flows through our lungs and into every cell of our body. There is no separation between the health of our water supply in our oceans and rivers, and the health of our blood and fluids that course through our arteries and veins. There is no separation between the food we eat and health of the soil, plants and animals that we share this planet with.
