When it comes to EMF reduction, using a wired internet connection and disabling WiFi is a great way to reduce the RF levels on your laptop. Many people don?t realize that large electric fields can also be present when using a laptop. The easiest way to significantly reduce electric fields is to make sure any laptop you purchase has a three-pronged power cord. High electric fields play a large part in feeling tired when working on a laptop for long periods of time. Check your laptop cord next time you use it and see if it has two or three prongs!

How Much Are You Getting?
June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month! No matter what the season is, the generally accepted recommendation is to consume 8-10 servings of fresh fruits and veggies every day. But the reality is that very few of us get anywhere near that amount. In my experience working with clients, I have found that on average, they are only getting 2-4 servings/day (and likely less, since people tend not to want to admit what their nutritional habits REALLY are). So, if you are one of those people, supplementing with a high-quality live whole food supplement would be highly recommended.
EMFs and Melatonin Suppression
Melatonin is a hormone found in all living creatures. Also called the “sleep hormone” – its production increases with evening darkness. It is a powerful antioxidant with a role in protecting DNA as well as other benefits. EMFs play havoc with the production of melatonin. This has been shown to cause circadian rhythm sleep disorders, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, glaucoma, depressive disorder, breast and prostate cancer and others (Pandi-Perumal 2008b https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18571301/). Paying attention to EMFs around your home and length of exposure can go a long way to getting you back to a healthier you.

Introduce the Idea of Caregiving
You can talk to your loved one about caregiving even before they need it. If you expect your loved one won’t be open to the idea, you could try: 1) Suggesting hiring a “housekeeper”, as seniors often find this easier to accept. 2) Explaining that hiring someone can help reduce physical tasks, calm their worries, and allow them to continue to live independently. 3) Asking your loved one’s doctor to support the idea. 4) Proposing a caregiver visit on a trial basis. Once your loved one sees the benefits, they may warm up to the idea and even request additional services.
Aging and Medication Dosing
As we age, changes to our blood pressure, kidneys, and muscles can affect how our bodies handle medications. For example, some types of blood pressure medications might not work as well for elderly patients. Because our kidneys start to slow down, drugs that are cleared from the body through the kidneys often need lower doses and closer monitoring. Losing muscle is also a normal part of aging and means that our bodies end up with a higher fat component, which can also affect medication dosing. These are some of the few things that our Pharamcists will consider when prescribing and dispensing your medications.
