#9- Top 10 Health Tips!
Over last 10 years, 3 maternity leaves I have managed to treat over 1,000 patients and many health concerns. Here are my TOP 10 to help you start to address your health concerns…
10. Contrast Showers- take a hot shower and always end with cold for 30-60 seconds. The cold helps to close your skin pores and helps to circulate your blood more efficiently.
9. Multi-vitamins are pointless unless they have therapeutic amounts of each ingredients. More effective to take individual vitamins or minerals that are needed.
8. Most adults and children should be taking a probiotic, fish oil and vitamin D- ask your ND on how much.
7. Do you need to hit the gym- depends on your health goal- but what you really need is to move- put your pedometer on to reach 10,000 steps per day.
6. Get your blood tested to find out which foods agree with your body. Eat the right foods for your body to encourage a healthy lifestyle.
5. Emotional suppression leads to physical disease- let me put together the right Bach flower remedy that is best for you- this helps to unravel layers of emotional suppression until we can address the root cause of the emotion that is contributing to your physical symptom.
4. Drink at least 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water everyday- this is your minimum amount!
3. Most people are magnesium deficient- ask your ND for the right dose for you.
2. Chronic disease takes at least 10 years to develop- Prevention is Key! Inflammation is the root cause of many chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, etc.
1. Most important triad is the relationship between our adrenals, thyroid, ovaries/uterus (women)/tests (men). Stress has a huge impact on our hormonal cycle. Cortisol effect leads to adrenal fatigue and insomnia and then effects thyroid (hair loss, weight issues, dryness) and/ or effects uterus/ovaries (irregular menses, infertility, fibroids, cysts) or in men (decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, infertility).
