Thank you to all of you who have sent thank yous and praise for last month's inaugural newsletter!  I am so happy to hear that you have found the information useful and interesting, and that many of you have written how you've applied it in your lives already.  If there is anything that you are curious about, please don't hesitate to contact me as your question may become content for a future newsletter.

I am thrilled to announce a new addition to my practice, the Quantum L.I.F.E. System.  This has allowed me to take my practice to a new level - I am now able to offer my clients:

• Nutritional profiling
• Allergy desensitizing
• Muscle/sports injury therapy
• Spinal flow adjustment
• Acupuncture and meridian therapy
• Detoxification therapies
• Homeopathic remedies
• Skin, beauty and anti-aging therapies
• Weight loss therapies
• Cosmetic enhancements
• Emotional profiling
• Color and chakra balancing
• Iridology
• Gem therapies and biosignatures

Using the LIFE System, I am able to scan a client's body for over 7,000 items in approximately 8 minutes, and it shows me where their body is most out of balance.  The L.I.F.E. System helps me identify underlying stressors on the body, including food sensitivities, nutrition, vitamin, and hormonal deficiencies, heavy metal toxins, virus, bacteria, fungi and parasites, digestive disorders, mental and emotional stress factors, and much more.

While the system does not diagnose anything (and neither do I), it can be used to identify existing health concerns, but also show underlying issues that may be brewing under the surface.  Often a health concern can be developing for 5-10 years before exhibiting any symptoms, and the LIFE System can alert us to these areas.  With this new information, I can create a plan for someone that is specific to them, and can help address those things now before they develop further.  I can determine what percentage your body needs a particular nutrient, herb or supplement, so there is no more guessing that what you are taking is helping you or not.   Your body will tell us what it needs so that you don't waste money on things your body does not need.

Not only does it allow me to identify areas where we should focus, but it also applies energy biofeedback to help rectify the imbalances.  It is as though you have at your fingertips a host of alternative health practitioners, all doing an assessment on you, and all being able to apply the appropriate therapies to you.  There is no more wondering if what you are doing is the best therapy for you - the LIFE System will tell you what is best for you that day.

The LIFE System has a metaspace setting that allows for remote sessions.  In fact, 90% of my client sessions are done long-distance, so you don't have to physically be here in San Diego to benefit.

So rather than have to go see your acupuncturist, your nutritionist, and your chiropractor, you can do a LIFE System session instead.

Quantum biofeedback systems such as this are what helped the US Postal Team win the Tour De France in 2004.  This particular system was just approved as a Class 2 medical device in England, and is FDA approved.   If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.  I have already seen what this system can do for my clients, and am thrilled to be able to share it with you.  Keep an eye out for stories from clients in future newsletters.

Adaptogen Herbs - Nature's Gift

As a Clinical Nutritionist, I often get asked what I would recommend for someone who wants to take one thing that would make the biggest difference in their health.  (Of course, I believe every one of us should be taking a good, whole food based, multi-vitamin/mineral complex, but that is a given).    Obviously while every person is different, and it is important to understand those differences, but I would say for 99% of people the answer would be an easy one.

For the last three years, I have worked extensively with adaptogen herbs, both personally and with clients.  While there are many wonderful nutrients and protocols that I have found work well with my clients, I have never seen anything that gets as many noticeable results, and as quickly, as these particular herbs. 

Adaptogen herbs are a small subset of herbs that have unique and powerful properties - having been used extensively in Chinese herbal medicine and Ayurvedic medicine for over two thousand years.  They are known most for their ability to help the body adapt to stressors - or stress - which according to the American Medical Association, is responsible for over 80% of all illness and disease.  Some of the more well known adaptogens are eleuthero, rhodiola rosea, licorice root, and schizandra. 

In my own practice, I have seen clients using adaptogens sleep well again, lose weight, not be as sore after a gym workout (enhanced recovery), depression has improved, anxiety reduced, improved their mental clarity, reduced food cravings, reduced PMS symptoms, to name just a few.  The reason for this is that adaptogen herbs impact every major system in the body, working to normalize function and reduce the effects of stressors on those systems.

For more information on adaptogen herbs, there are two books I have read recently that give great information on this small subset of herbs, even just reading the Amazon exerpt on the book gives you enough info to intrigue you.

While more modern "scientific" studies conducted over the last more than 50 years is being translated into English, we will be hearing more and more about them.

If you are looking for the one thing that would make the most difference on your overall health, the answer is adaptogen herbs.  Before you go out and start using them with abandon, however, it's best to consult with a health professional trained in these herbs to make sure you are taking the appropriate ones for you (There are some health conditions that adaptogen use is not recommended for, so if you have specific questions, please let me know).

If you would like more information on how adaptogens can help your health situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

 

Garlic

This herb is one of what I like to categorize as a super food.  It's been used for antibiotic and anti microbial in helping the yeast candida albicans, the virus Herpes simplex, the jock itch fungus tinea cruris, and several of the rhinoviruses that cause the common cold.   In certain studies, it has shown to be as effective as prescription antibiotics such as penicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline, and streptomycin.  It also benefits the heart, lowers high blood pressure, reduces arteriosclerosis, and improves liver and gall bladder function.  In addition to its concentration in phytonutrients, it is also high in B6, copper, manganese, and calcium.

The key to obtaining the health benefits of garlic, however, come from its raw form.  There are several ways to get the benefits without having to chew on raw garlic cloves, which, if you feel like it, all the power to you!  But for the rest of us, we'd prefer other options. 

First, you can infuse olive oil with raw chopped garlic and add to salads.  Let it infuse over a few days before using.  You can also put cloves into a blender, fill with water, blend, and let it sit there for 20 minutes.  You can then strain out the pulp, and drink the garlic water.  It's best if you mix that with lemon juice, and even if you add some honey to get it down.
