Do Thoughts Affect Our Health?

Liz James · March 24, 2023 ·

We’re on day 9 of the 14 Day Reset today, and the changes our group is seeing are so beautiful. Although the focus is on inflammation, much much more is happening (including the bonus of weight loss in some people).

Here’s a video that ties in some of the teachings that have been released on emotions in the 14Day Reset group. The topic is too important not to share.

(The next round of 14Day Reset starts on April 10th!)

****************************

Kristi Zittle, I just love you! (She has been educating on emotions) I have listened to your video twice now, and I wanted to drop a science nugget in support of all you have been so generously sharing about emotions. I love when scripture and science bump into one another and truth comes out no matter which way you turn it. Proverbs 23:7 says “As a man thinks, so is he.” We’ve got to meditate(focus) on that which is good in God’s eyes….. especially the voices (those not from God) we hear whose intention is to tear us down. Are our thoughts about ourselves (and others too) Biblically based? What effect do these thoughts have on the hypothalamus

(and then ultimately the rest of the body)?…. listen and find out!

In my mind, I tend to be more motivated when I know the “why”….. I was one of those kids who was always asking “why” growing up…it probably drove my parents crazy

. I pray this blesses someone today!

Know Your Choices

Liz James · March 23, 2023 ·

As long as we’re on the topic (from yesterday’s observations about Wagovy), let’s take a look at another article about a similar injectable in wide use: Trulicity.

Here is probably the most important paragraph in the article written by John Abramson: (If you don’t have time to read the article, please at least read the excerpt

)

” In my recent book, I talk about Trulicity—a diabetes drug that reduces the risk of heart disease. It was heavily advertised on TV and heavily marketed to doctors. But what wasn’t publicized or shared with doctors is Trulicity’s NNT—which stands for “number needed to treat.” The NNT tells you how many patients have to be treated, and for how long, for one patient to benefit from a drug. In the case of Trulicity, it turns out that you have to treat 327 people for approximately three years in order to prevent one non-fatal heart event. And treating just those 327 people over that time period would cost the public $2.7 million. Wouldn’t knowing these numbers make a difference to a doctor deciding whether to prescribe the drug? Or to a patient deciding whether to request the drug? And this is leaving aside the possible negative side effects—and the “number needed to harm” for each of them—which clinical trials often fail to monitor and more often fail to report in journal articles. “

Benefit versus risk friends. Know your choices! There’s a better way.

How to Keep Kids Healthy

Liz James · March 22, 2023 ·

I’m really not a fan of the American Academy of Pediatrics recent release on their guidelines for childhood obesity. It’s a problem for a number of reasons, not the least of which is:

Their focus is on treatment, not prevention

Wegovy and more (ugh!!!)

Bariatric surgery for teens that fall into the BMI bracket (double ugh, with a nooooooooo!)

Whole food nutrition, exercise, healthy emotions, and adequate hydration is the answer in nearly all instances (barring a primary health problem that is causing the weight gain).

Kids are our leaders and our future. We need them healthy in body, spirit, and mind!
