Hypothyroidism

Do you feel tired and cold? You may have Hypothyroidism. Also called underactive thyroid or low thyroid, Hypothyroidism is a disorder of the endocrine system in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. It can cause a number of symptoms, such as poor ability to tolerate cold, a feeling of tiredness, constipation, depression, and weight gain. Bioresonance therapy may rebuild your energy level by stimulating the white blood cells to produce more energy. This is done by sending healthy frequencies into your body. Bioresonance therapy is completely painless and non-invasive.

Finding Your Purpose

Understanding your purpose and putting a plan into action that includes a personal vision, mission and life goals will help to keep you focused on achieving your potential. Think about the things in life that bring you great joy – work that you would almost do for free, just because it brings you such self-satisfaction. Or what seems to come easy to you, or perhaps opportunities that keep showing up to bless you. These are clues to the discovery of your purpose. Taking time to focus on a life plan, with goals and timelines, will strategically create success for you!

Caregivers and Anxiety

As a caregiver for a family member or friend, you may find these times more stressful due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While your main concern is keeping your loved one protected, it’s important to ensure your mental health doesn’t end up on the backburner. Anxiety and stress are understandable reactions to the situation, but try to reduce them as much as possible by: creating a backup plan for your loved one’s care if you get sick, practicing self-care like eating well and getting enough sleep, and seeking support from others like family, friends, or a professional.

Product Spotlight: dermID

dermID by MDR Aesthetics enables technicians to quickly and accurately visualize skin concerns that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It uses non-invasive fluorescence technology (blue light) and a yellow lens, allowing technicians to see sun damage, skin irritation (such as allergies), and clogged pores that reveal damaged skin cells located deep in the dermis layer. Fluorescence can detect cellular and structural changes that indicate what long-term damage might look like. With this knowledge, technicians can easily create a client-specific treatment plan to help reverse the damage and keep clients’ skin looking its best at all times

Don’t Ignore Chipped Teeth

A chipped tooth can happen for a variety of reasons, including biting something hard, hitting your mouth, having tooth decay, or grinding your teeth. While you might think having a chipped tooth is no big deal, this can lead to some problems. Sharp edges can cut your inner mouth, while deep chips can impact tooth roots (possibly leading to infections or toothaches), as well as tooth decay (which can cause sensitivity and bad breath). To avoid needing a root canal or extraction, it’s important to have a dentist examine and fix a chipped tooth before the problem gets any worse.
