A Healthy Digestive System
Jan 19, 2021

Reading time less than 1 minute

People complain a great deal about digestive issues. It is totally understandable that this problem is a great concern, considering the American diet. It is known that immune problems begin in the gut. For immune health, vitamins C, E, B, and selenium, all of good quality is very important. Pineapple and papaya are good sources of digestive emzymes. Vitamin D is important. Beta Glucan found in oats, barley, seaweed, shitake and reshi mushrooms is excellent. In supplements, look for products extracted by fermentation, if grain or yeast is a concern. They are great for colds, flu, allergies, sinus, and regulate an overactive immune response in autoimmune disorders.

Aside from this, we certainly need prebiotics and probiotics. Prebiotics, plant fibers that ferment in the colon, help to increase desirable bacteria in the gut. Probiotics, live beneficial bacteria, restore balance in the microbiome, feeding and strengthening the immune system. Both boost the immune system and protect us from infections. They are necessary if taking antibiotics, which wipes out beneficial bacteria. Some examples of each follows.

Prebiotics: dandelion greens, garlic, onions, asparagus, bananas, barley, oats, corn, apples, flaxseeds, wheat bran, radishes, carrots, tomatoes, beets, cucumber, sweet potatoe, cabbage, berries, mango, honey, dark chocolate, walnuts, kombucha

Probiotics: yogurt, especially with bifidobacterium and lactobacilli, kefir, sauerkraut, pickles, gouda cheese, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, apple cider vinegar, brine-cured olives

With the holidays almost here, we especially need to be mindful of our digestive systems. Also, check with your holistic physician beforehand if you’re uncertain about your food tolerance and needs.

Check Your Vibes! Find out how much Positive and Negative energy you have!

The Energy Leadership™ Index (ELI) assessment is the proprietary, research-backed assessment tool, created by iPEC, that takes something abstract, like the way a person views the world, and turns it into something tangible—a metric that you can see and feel and even reevaluate in the future.

You’ve probably taken personality tests, like Myers Briggs, DiSC, and Enneagram, but this is different. And transformational.

The ELI is an attitudinal assessment tool that captures how an individual currently perceives and approaches work and life. This means that you learn to make change happen in real-time when you encounter a moment of self-doubt, fear, or frustration.

With the awareness and insights gained through the Energy Leadership Index debrief, you have the opportunity to reshape your attitudes and worldview and transform your life into the one you envision.

Our worldview is the result of a combination of many different aspects: our past experiences, level of consciousness, perception of situations. Each of us has a unique combination of all seven levels of energy which, in turn, creates your typical viewpoints, perceptions, and beliefs about life.

Learning about your energetic makeup can help you to reframe your perspective, shift your consciousness, and increase your energy level as a result. Discover your unique energetic makeup by taking an ELI Assessment!

This comes with an hour debrief - As an FYI the price is what it is because there is a price to me- I have to pay the institution for the assessment and the scoring. Then I'll walk you thorugh your results.

Oxygen to the rescue! Great for Mental Health, Brain Injury, Detox, inflammation

Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers are one of the oldest and safest treatments available. Oxygen detoxifies and heals. I was introduced to Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers (HBOC) by Dr. Amen, a world reknown Psychiatrist. Oxygen is great for ADD, Mood Disorders, Trauma, Insomnia, Brain injuries, Wound healing and Inflammation.

This is from Dr. Amen's Clinic: "If you are struggling with a mental health condition, recovering from a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI), or dealing with cognitive or memory problems, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be for you. People all over the world have reported recovering from a variety of conditions and experiencing dramatic improvements with this type of popular therapy."

Most people will feel a difference off of one treatment, especially if you typically have trouble sleeping. You will sleep like a rock.
