Mental stress and exhaustionGot too much on your mind? Are you a thinker? Do you worry too much?It could well be a central reason for feeling exhausted.The biological aspect (The fact that our brain uses up a lot of energy in proportion to its size) says that more brain = more energy used.Another side of this issue is that when we are mentally stress out - we tend to breath less. Less breathing = less oxygen = less energy.Exhausted and worried?Time to do something about it :)So where do you carry all the biological  excess burden of your mental stress?The answer ...

Or is it the other way around?Sports for more energy and why?One of the most common reason people give for not exercising is: I am too tired for it.It seems understandable, right?While it is true that exhausted people can’t really power exercise, moving your body when you are tired is actually one of the best things to do for more energy.How does that work?When thinking about cell nourishment most people think "blood", Right?What you might not know is that the blood vessels don't really reach every cell in the body. n fact the blood barely reaches the nearest "post office ...

Want to be energetic during the day?Here is a collection of sleep tips for you.I remember a client that came to me for help many years ago. His main complaint  was that he was tired. My first question was: How do you sleep at night?his answer: 5 full hours of sleep…For those of you who missed the humor here, 5 hours of sleep is a very good reason to be tired!If you check out the research coming out of sleep labs over the years, most claim that less then seven and a half hours of quality sleep predict the higher likelihood ...

I find that many people that come to our clinic for various illnesses come first and foremost tired.Philosophically speaking that does not surprise me because naturopathy has a saying that all illness come from four basic needs that aren’t met (on one or more of our life planes - physical, mental, emotional & Spiritual):Nourishment    Food can heal and can kill (And don't forget that emotional, mental and spiritual nourishment is just as critical as physical food)Detoxification    Cleaning out your gut daily is very healthy and important to improve your energy but so will clearing out bad thinking and ...

Do you breath enough?Weird question, right? Well… not so weird as you might think.A long time ago, when I was 17… I first ran across the idea of breathing exercises. It seemed weird at first, I mean, if you are alive you should be breathing just fine, no?It took a few minutes to discover that was not true.I started a simple breathing exercise only to get all dizzy after a few rounds. My brain was obviously not use to so much oxygen ;) .After training for a while, I could exercise to my lungs’ content and I would not get ...

A long long time ago… When we were much younger and almost as beautiful ;)We both studied in the same school for natural medicine on the same course of Naturopathy. In one of the classes (In aromatherapy to be precise) we clicked, and a beautiful love story followed.We went through a lot over the past thirty years...We did a lot of creative work clinically over the years, we worked with many cancer patients, we helped thousands download their gallstones without losing their gallbladder, and many who lost their gallbladder before we met had their liver cleared and flushed.The desert oasisWe ...

When I first ran the liver flush on myself I was somewhat petrified. It was new to me, I knew I needed it... I only knew of one person, at the time, that had done it and successfully and even he was a total stranger from across the ocean...I was also young and slightly reckless, at the time (Thirty odd years ago).So I did what I felt like of the protocol, skipping this, editing that.I took out some stones. I also paid the toll for being young and reckless. I will not go into detail (Not writing this to scare ...

For years, since the ERCP was first introduced, we celebrated it.It was a ray of hope that backed our liver flush efforts up. If anything went wrong - that could save our patient.Thankfully we never really needed that since it never went wrong. not in thirty years and not in thousands of patients.But... A while ago we had a patient in that went through the flush. Was happy about it. But before he could complete the reruns needed  to thoroughly clear the system, he had a spontaneous stone leave the gallbladder and get lodged  in the ducts.The doctors went in ...

Have you heard the following phrase?"Your gallbladder is genetically pre-disposed to making stones"...There are two errors in this phrase I would like to point out:1. Stones are rarely formed in the gallbladder - they usually start in the liver and then slide into the gallbladder.2. Pre-disposed?  We are ALL pre-disposed. Gallstones form in the right environment in most people. It is the most common surgery out there for a reason (This despite the fact that 70% of stones are a-symptomatic (Do not cause symptoms...)There are a lot of myths surrounding the creation of gallstones and one simple fact:You can still ...
