Book Club: Regaining Who You Are

(By Cindy Matychak, Spiritual Author, Advanced Life Coach, Reiki Master.) You are not who you think you are. There is much more to you and your world. Each of us has come into this lifetime to expand our consciousness and find our true place. In Regaining Who You Are you will discover why you are here and what you are being asked to heal in this lifetime.

Get Energized!

Boost your pre or post-workout by incorporating chlorophyll-rich greens with coconut MCT into your daily routine. Studies have shown when taken before exercising, coconut MCT may reduce lactic acid buildup and encourage the body to burn more fat instead of carbs for energy. This can be found in a greens powder formula at your health food store and added to smoothies or water. Taking it in the morning can also make you feel more energized throughout the day. Look for a greens product with coconut MCT and maca for sustained energy, plus shelf-stable probiotics included to lighten your supplement load!

Magnesium Deficiency?

Symptoms of Magnesium deficiency include restless leg syndrome, irritability, and insomnia. Some experts estimate that over 80% of the population are deficient in Magnesium, while others argue it’s closer to 95%. Either way, the statistics aren’t good, and it is something we need to remedy. That’s where Magnesium Premium Lotion by Pure Joy Naturals comes in. This gentle concentration of magnesium chloride is a nourishing natural skin product which is fragrance-free and contains Arnica essential oil for effective symptomatic relief. It takes advantage of the absorptive properties of your skin (your body’s largest organ), putting it to work so you can reap the benefits.

Nervous System Booster

What’s green and stalky and bursting with nutrients? You guessed it: Broccoli. If you have a growing family or enjoy hosting dinner parties, this is an essential for your kitchen. It’s loaded with vitamins and minerals that protect your heart and body against all kinds of diseases. Eating broccoli regularly is ideal for your nervous system because its jam-packed with Potassium, which promotes muscle growth and helps your brain function well. It also contains as much calcium per ounce as milk! Enjoy broccoli roasted, steamed, or even in your favourite soups!

What’s the Human Body-Field?

While traditional healthcare has primarily focused on physiology, we are now seeing that energy and information control biology. In fact, frontier science proves that there is a regulating field of energy and information that operates in the physical body at the subcellular level. At NES Health, they call this the Human Body-Field (HBF), and they have researched its functions and structures for more than 30 years. In that time, they have discovered that the root causes of physical problems are distortions and blockages in the body-field, which serves as a master control system for all physiological function.

Spider Vein Therapy

Spider Vein Therapy
Now is a great time to focus on getting your legs clear for Summer! Small, unsightly, spidery blue leg veins respond well to treatment in experienced hands. Laser therapy can be used, but can be painful and expensive, and also less effective than sclerotherapy. With sclerotherapy a very fine, barely felt needle introduces a sterile non-allergic blend of saline, and dextrose into these tiny blue veins. This irritates the vein lining, causing it to swell and reroute blood through healthier veins. Typically spider veins respond in 3-4 weeks. Book a consultation with a Specialist, for your best look this Summer!

Change Your Story!

A lucky few have an unshakeable sense of self — then there’s the rest of us! Sometimes you may wonder “what is wrong with me?”, or “why does this keep happening to me?”. Perhaps you harbour painful self-doubts and disappointments. But how can you tap into your inspiration and your potential? What wakes you up? Counselling can be a great place to question what you believe about yourself, to see how you can change your story.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Health clinics worldwide are using hyperbaric oxygen to supplement cancer therapy. Recent studies have shown that HBOT in combination with the ketogenic diet increases mean survival time in mice models by up to 75%. This works by starving cancer cells of their main energy source, glucose, and introducing a high oxygen environment. When combined with current conventional treatments, results have been very promising. HBOT is also effective post radiation to prevent bone loss and small vessel damage. Prevention and a healthy lifestyle of consistent exercise, good nutrition, sleep, community involvement and HBOT contributes to improved health outcomes.

Music and Motivation

Music is one of the best motivators you can use to focus your attention, enhance your mood, or to get your mind and body moving. Research has shown that music can stimulate your brain and release more dopamine, the feel-good hormone, into your body. So whether you’re swamped with work, studying for an exam, or trying to get the house clean, music can be one of your greatest allies. Your own favourite upbeat playlist can not only lift your spirits, but it can enhance your senses so that your recall for facts, figures and important detail is engaged.

Can Everyday Activities Cause Hearing Loss?

Every day we are exposed to noise that can contribute to hearing loss. The risk of damaging your hearing increases with the sound intensity, not the loudness of the sound, which is measured in decibels (dB). Examples of everyday activities, and their corresponding decibel levels:
• Normal conversation – 60 dB
• City traffic (from inside car)-80-85 dB
• Listening to music on your smartphone, especially at maximum volume-105–110 dB
• Standing beside/near sirens-120 dB
Noise above 85 dB over a prolonged period may start to damage your hearing. Learn how to protect your hearing health!
