Preventive Health & Root-Cause Medicine

Protect Your Health Assets

Liz James · January 30, 2023 ·

We (the USA) spend more money on “healthcare” care than any other country in the world, yet we are among the sickest. The biggest reason for this is that a person forfeits their health when they hand over their care to someone else without asking lots and lots and lots of questions first, during, and always.๐Ÿค“
ย 
We are our own best advocates.
ย 
Yes, it requires some work. All good things do.๐Ÿ˜‰
ย 
No, you don’t have to be an expert. Just a willingness to learn and listen to how your own body speaks.
ย 
Yes, it is helpful to have a mentor or coach who has a strong background or license. “Coach” is a term used very loosely these days. A coach can have a sandlot team or an NFL status. Choose wisely.
ย 
No, it’s not expensive. Being chronically sick IS tho. It’s much easier to reverse a process earlier rather than later.
ย 
You can do it. The question is…. when are you ready to?

Tips for Your Blood Draw Day

Liz James · January 26, 2023 ·

I’m entering into my 5th year of helping people with their labwork, including my own. Yesterday morning was my annual blood draw….. 14 vials๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ later. I’m not gonna lie, after 14 vials I can feel a little lightheaded. I prepped this morning and immediately after the blood draw, I drank 6 oz of NingXia Red ๐Ÿฅคand then had breakfast……….. and THEN did a full cardio๐Ÿฆต๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿซ๐Ÿซ€ workout at the gym (I failed at that last year, because I felt too weak… but I also didn’t drink the NingXia๐Ÿ˜‰). Still feeling strong and not the least bit woozy!
ย 
PRO Tip…… use your NingXia Red for rapid recovery! It works in more situations than blood draws ๐Ÿ˜‰.

Chronic Irritability and Anger

Liz James · January 26, 2023 ·

The body doesn’t lie.
ย 
If you struggle with either occasional or chronic bouts of anger/irritability, check yourself…… your mind or body may be telling your something.
ย 
Common causes of irritability include: sleep deprivation, low blood sugar, underlying toothaches, certain respiratory disorders, medication, depression, anxiety, hormonal imbalance, and thyroid disorders are just a few.
ย 
Left unchecked, chronic irritability and anger can also lead to disease or aggravate a known condition. The constant rush of stress chemicals in the body are linked to migraines, insomnia, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, auto immune disorder flares, eczema, heart disease, strokes and digestive disorders (among other things).
ย 
Come to yoga. You won’t regret leaving your “heavy” at the door.
Local peeps….. 7:30pm. Message me for deets.

Horse (and People) Deworming

Liz James · January 19, 2023 ·

I’ve been using #silverliningherbs equine dewormer for several years now and LOVE the product (it’s super easy to use in addition to being safe for them). I also love that they send out a deworming schedule I can keep in the feed room as a reminder. I also love that they send out this schedule because it helps me plan when I’m going to start my 2-3 times a year parasite cleanse for my human self. It takes a little prepping to get my personal house in order beforehand. Making sure the digestive system is in strong working order, supporting liver function, and then the actual parasite cleanse. Have you ever done one?
 
Here’s a great reference for best practice start date of the actual parasite cleanse. Plan on 4-6 weeks of gut/liver love beforehand and during ๐Ÿ˜‰.
 
We North Americans are a snotty bunch…. thinking parasites are only an issue in 3rd world countries. No so. We’re just as ๐Ÿชฑ๐Ÿฆ wormy!….. maybe even moreso because it’s an often neglected aspect of health.

ย 
If you aren’t using oils to help with your emotional health, please, consider giving it a try! “Try” in this case doesn’t mean once and done….. try means “let it become your BFF companion for at least one month, and see what happens ๐Ÿ˜‰โค๏ธ.
ย 
A little bit about our new BFF Bergamot:
โ€ข Has a zesty citrus flavor that’s great in diffuser blends, recipes, and DIYs
โ€ข Uplifts the emotions and senses
โ€ข Contains antioxidants that help support a healthy lifestyle
โ€ข Helps support the cardiovascular system
โ€ข Is a wonderful choice for combating oily skin
ย 
Bergamot is also a huge component for many perfumes due to its ability to balance the mix of aromas and harmonize all of the essences. Some of our favorite pairings are:
โ€ข Bergamot + White Angelica
โ€ข Bergamot + Sacred Frankincense
โ€ข Bergamot + Stress Away
โ€ข Bergamot + Vetiver
ย 
Many a surprise outcomes have resulted from giving something a good 6 week try. Winter months can often cause an emergence of winter blues. Let’s see if Bergamot can reverse that trend. Will you?
ย 
xoxo~ Liz
