Inspirited Wellness Podcast Episode 5 – Are Periods Necessary?  Changing the Narrative

 

If you follow my Facebook page, you may have seen my post last week linking an article titled, “Periods are Optional.  Here’s the Why and How.” I responded in this Facebook post,  but I have so much more to share so I did a podcast on the subject.

Women using birth control to stop their periods is nothing new, it’s been going on for years.  But this is the first time I’ve ever seen a doctor actually say that periods are optional, unnecessary, and that “some health experts believe you may be healthier without them.”

Managing Expectations – Episode 4

Inspirited Wellness Podcast Notes: Episode 4: Managing Expectations

I often get the opportunity to talk to people about their health challenges and goals and I find that many have unrealistic expectations about how things are going to happen, which leads to disappointment and disillusionment, which leads to giving up.  You can be successful in setting and achieving your health goals, but you have to be smart (and realistic) about what to expect and ensure that you’re setting yourself up for success.

Generally, I see 3 categories of people with unrealistic expectations:

Fever: Friend or Foe?

Inspirited Wellness Podcast Notes: Episode 3: Fever: Friend or Foe?

 

Do you have “fever-phobia?”   So many parents do!  Or maybe you don’t get anxious when your child falls ill, but the prevailing thought is that you treat a fever by giving a fever reducer and bringing down the temperature.

But how you respond to fevers can have a HUGE impact when it comes to the long-term health of your child.

Fever is your friend.  None of us like it when our kids get sick, but a good fever means that the immune system is in the game, actively fighting off whatever bug is in the system.  It also means that the immune system is learning how to respond and fight infections.

What is Gemmotherapy?

 

It’s not surprising that you’ve never heard of gemmotherapy.  It’s relatively unknown in the U.S. right now except for a few practitioners who are teaching and sharing it.

Gemmotherapy is a plant-based healing modality made from the emerging buds and shoots from specific trees and shrubs.  What sets gemmotherapy apart is that the material used to make the extracts contain the embryonic cells of the plant and are not only the most nutrient dense part of the plant, but have incredible regenerative properties.

The purpose of gemmotherapy is to reduce inflammation in the body, restore the elimination and drainage pathways, and to support the adrenals.  The extracts work on a cellular level to clean and tonify the cells and organs.

Homeopathy and Gemmotherapy

I absolutely love gemmotherapy and have such great results with the extracts!  One of the other reasons I love it is because it works so synergistically with homeopathy.  Normally, you wouldn’t mix homeopathy with another healing modality, like medicinal herbs, because you can confuse the symptom picture and so you don’t know what’s working.  But gemmotherapy is not only very powerful in its own right, but it can actually help homeopathic remedies work better.

Do You Have The Holiday Blues? Here’s A Powerful Solution!

Christina

 

As we come out of the holiday season, many people find themselves feeling tired, worn out, or suffering from a deep melancholy and trying desperately to pull out of it.

 

The demands of modern-day life can seem so overwhelming.  Coming back to real life after winter break, traveling, and festivities can be challenging.  We go back to work, have bills to pay, and are getting the kids back into a regular routine.  It’s no wonder many people are left dealing with minor depression in a quest to “get back to normal”!

 

Sometimes these demands of life may elicit strong emotions within us such as worry, fear, frustration, and hopelessness. While these are normal emotions that we all occasionally deal with, we don’t want these to develop into a long-term state of being.  This will not only negatively affect our emotions, but our overall state of health.

 

If you’re in the middle of January and still feeling mentally and physically sluggish and despairing, there’s one surprising practice that can help clear the cobwebs.
