What’s Love Got to Do With It

 

What’s love got to do with it

 

True love stories never have endings!


 

Happy Valentine’s Day!

 

Did you know Love can not only make you happy, but lower your risk for heart disease?

 

By releasing endorphins, raising dopamine and oxytocin (the cuddle hormone), and lowering cortisol, LOVE is heart healthy and good for the soul.  One of the best ways to get love is to give it (especially offering love to the folks who appreciate YOU and respect YOU)!

 

Love can come in many different forms, like the love you have for your child, spouse, or for Muffy, your golden retriever. Remember, you’re never too old to BE IN LOVE!   Being in a mature, loving relationship can be quite beautiful. 

 

It’s also healthy for you. One study showed people who were intimate could reduce their risk for heart disease by half.

 

If the drive is gone, please get a workup (especially with a holistic medical doctor), and check your hormones, because it could indicate early heart disease.

 

It’s important to keep the passion alive, and not take each other for granted. Drew and I have a rule, “Never go to bed angry!”  Since your mate doesn’t come with a manual, you must learn from one another, working to meet each other’s needs and learn each other’s love language. 

 

Have you read, “The Five Love Languages?” Great book to help improve a relationship.

Relationships are not easy, far from it, but a healthy, loving relationship is so worth it. 

 

Guidance helps. We all make mistakes, but finding forgiveness and being true to yourself, can set you free.  Make sure to communicate clearly with your needs and pick the right time to do it. 

 

Sometimes when we’re tired, at the end of a long day, or just getting home from work or school, may not be the best time to have that “let’s talk” discussion.

Can Plug-ins Make YOU Sick and Fat?

  Can Fragrances (e.g. perfumes, colognes, air fresheners)  Make YOU SICK & FAT? Did you know the scent within many perfumes and colognes along with plug-ins (and many other household and beauty products have chemical fragrances or parfums in their ingredients i.e., Febreze, Lysol, Clorox Bleach, Dawn, Tide, Irish Spring, Fabuloso etc) which contain many harmful chemicals. According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG.org), many of the chemicals in these synthetic fragrances contain phthalates, which can disrupt hormones, worsen asthma, allergies, lead to headaches, fatigue, weight gain (as these chemicals get stored in the fat), weaken the immune system, and even possibly cause cancer. What to do?   Use natural products.  For not much more money, you can get products from Seventh Generation (SeventhGeneration.com), Ecos (ecos.com) etc. that don’t contain many of these harmful chemicals. These ecofriendly products can smell nice and be just as effective at eliminati

How to Relieve Pain Long Term & Naturally

Image
  How to Relieve Pain Long Term & Naturally Our body is connected (as you know!), but when we see a traditional doc, they may only focus on the specific body part for which you are having a problem. For example, when I saw my neurosurgeon for neck pain, they only looked at my neck. I have a history of many ankle sprains. Once I addressed strengthening my ankles, which I never thought to do because they didn't hurt, my neck pain improved. The chiropractor explained my "weak ankles likely turned in my hips and shoulders, which likely affected my neck". Once I strengthened my ankles and stretched my hips and shoulders more, my neck pain improved (without the surgery). I've seen many patients with knee pain where the cause of the their pain was related to tight hips or problems with their feet (which they told me was never addressed before). The great part is they are improving and feeling better and are not taking their pain medicines any longer (e.g. T
