As a Holistic Health Coach I deal with a lot of “root Matters” and many of them stem back to child hood. I talk about in my book “True Confessions of the Heart” that I grew up in a toxic environment and several tragic events happened. Because I was not in a true state of awareness, I carried those wounds forward into my adulthood which caused me to attract more toxicity into my life. When I started to feed my brain with the right nutrients; a combination of nutritional supplements and whole foods, I began to see things clearer. Then when I removed myself from the toxic environment I was living in, that is when true healing began. I couldn’t see what the real picture looked like until I began to detox; body/mind/spirit. This is when I gained a sense of truth and realized that when a person is functioning under extreme levels of stress their cells become programmed in “fight or flight” status. When our central nervous systems are in constant heightened awareness, our organs become stressed and fatigued leading to inflammation, compromised immune systems and disease. So, when I am trying to access what the true cause of a complaint is I always ask lots of questions as a means of digging to determine the root cause. This is important for someone who is seeking longevity.
There are two main things that in my opinion have a tremendous impact on longevity, a positive mental attitude and nutrition. As we feed our brain with the right nutrients, it becomes easier to think positive. Think of a hose when it is stuck under a tire, the water trickles out of the hose but once you straighten the hose, the full force of water flows through. Well that is what our brain is like. By consuming whole foods it helps to enhance memory and create alertness. Whereas processed foods tend to make our brain cells sluggish, creating brain fog and then we can’t think clearly and it becomes harder to maintain a positive mental attitude.
Many people today say they are finding it hard to eat healthy in this economy where it appears to cost twice as much for groceries. I would recommend again that you shop with a level of awareness. I have our household eating style narrowed down. My children like meat and I am vegetarian. We all eat natural/organic foods including the dog for approximately $700/month. I know families today that have the same number of people in their house hold and they eat commercial products for the same amount of money. After coming close to death a few times and previously experiencing a laundry list of health problems, now having reversed my health naturally I realize the important impact that eating healthy can have on our lives. I would rather go without other things that families view as important, to be able to eat organic whole foods and keep my health in check for if we don’t have our health than what do we have?
Are Your Thoughts Making You Sick?

Did You Know That Your Thoughts Could Have A Negative Affect On Your Health?
Research shows that around 87% of illnesses can be attributed to our thought life. In fact, more chronic diseases are linked to toxic emotions. Negative Thinking can cause migraines, hypertension, strokes, cancer, skin problems, diabetes, infections, allergies and much more. Studies have made a direct correlation between anxiety/fear and heart palpitations, irritable bowel syndrome, tension headaches and heart problems. This is proof that the mind and body are integrally connected.
For many people it’s difficult to change the way they think about and approach life. So, here are some specific steps that can be taken to open your mind and change your negative thought patterns:
1. Choose to be conscious about your thoughts and live in awareness. You can’t change what you don’t know is wrong. It is your choice to accept information or forget it, whether it is something you are thinking or something that is being said to you.
2. Monitor you feelings, fear is the root of stress. After all, 90% of life is our perception to the actual 10% of events happening.
3. Understand that healing is a process and not an event; to heal you have to deal. Your memories of the past are stored in your body at a cellular level, which can affect your DNA and create disease. To heal you need to reflect but the only way you can do this is by silencing your mind.
4. Express emotion in a healthy way, for some people this is through journaling.
5. Get good sleep so you can think clearly.
6. Write down positive affirmations such as, “I am loved” and post them on your mirror where you can say them every day so you can reprogram your cells. Along with this build strong new memories. I talk in my book “True Confessions of the Heart” how I spent 2 years traveling the North Country after enduring a life long series of toxic events. The memories that were created and documented in my book transformed my life from the inside/out.
7. Practice forgiveness, it’s a choice and holding on to anger and resentment causes damage to our bodies. Life is short, I know because as I mentioned in my book, my Mom passed away unexpectedly over 2 years ago. When tragic events happen like that it redefines life. The true meaning of life is communing with others, building healthy relationships and memories for when you are on your deathbed you will be thinking of all the wonderful times you spent together.

It all started back in 8/28/07 when my health was a complete train wreck. My symptoms included the production of calcium oxalate kidney stones, dry skin patches, weight gain, hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance (pre-diabetic), memory loss, leaky gut syndrome, head aches, joint aches, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Compromised immune system, Dry/red eyes, liver issues, mental confusion, food sensitivities, irritability, hypothyroidism, varicose veins, profuse sweating and much more. Medical Doctors told me there wasn’t much they could do for me and many told me my problems were in my head. Well, after receiving my degree in Alternative Medicine, this is partly true and here is why. By this time, I had experienced several major surgeries and a few severe car crashes (none my fault) and your cells have memories. I was living in a toxic environment now for 13 years, not eating pure (lots of processed foods and meat) and had years of pharmaceutical drugs and radiation exposure due to MRI’s, x-rays and CT scans. At this point, it was a miracle I was alive; after all, I nearly died twice….once from a blood clot after experiencing reconstructive kidney surgery and once from a severe car crash. Can you imagine if you were my body; all the trauma that it had endured; I think you would be angry with me too which explains why I was experiencing poor performance.
I knew there had to be a better way, so after meeting with an award winning compounding Pharmacist is Central Florida and conducting metabolic panel testing, I decided to change the way I lived my life. Metabolic panel testing takes a look at the inside of the body for nutritional deficiencies; determining lack of amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The test determines if you have stuck metabolic pathways, neurological pathways, cellular and detoxification impairments and much more. This is how we determined from the inside out that I was a complete train wreck. After taking 9 months of a custom blend of nutrients, I was able to think clearly and start to turn my life and health around. When you fix the brain it’s amazing how much you can think clearer and when you do, you can see the dysfunction that you have been living in. This was the beginning of the best part of the rest of my life!
I have decided going forward that I am going to blog on my personal experience of why I chose to switch from Western living to Holistic living and the positive impact it has had on my life. I am not only an Alternative Medical Practitioner but I walk the talk and I want to show you that chances are, the health problems that you are experiencing I have walked through and with natural measures, I reversed my health. I am now the happiest and healthiest I have been in my entire life. I am 41 years young and most people I meet think I am in my early 30’s. That’s what the choice of natural living can do for you. So, I hope that you will continue to read my blogs, follow me on Twitter and Facebook, as I empower and inspire others to “take control of their health so they too can experience a natural way to a better life.”

TIS THE SEASON FOR THE FLU

With the holidays upon us and our schedules over booked our immune systems become compromised due to lack of sleep and rest. The best way to protect yourself from the flu is to strengthen your immune system. Although there are many products out there, I personally recommend the healing wonders of whey/colostrum to strengthen your immune system.
With the growing concern Consumers have today about the safety of cold and flu medications, particularly for children, it has created an opportunity for patients to consider the benefits of homeopathic remedies.
Homeopathic flu remedies have been around for over 65 years and are backed by clinical studies. You can find these remedies in health food stores today. Homeopathic flu remedies reduce the severity and duration of flu and flulike symptoms. These wellness products are safe, effective and gentle on your body (it offers no drug interaction like herbs can)….even young children can take them. Typical over the counter flu remedies like Nyquil and more that offer negative side effects such as drowsiness, can interfere with school work, company performance and overall recovery time and wellness. I recommend that you keep a homeopathic flu remedy on hand at all times such as the Flu Terminator which you take at the onset of the flu. This product is the only homeopathic formula studied at Miami Children Hospital. (Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine Vol 13 2007) The research team concluded that Flu Terminator elicits a human immune response. Just pop one of these tablets sublingual; under your tongue at the onset of flu symptoms and let your body’s natural healing abilities do the rest. Another great product I recommend for flu season is the homeopathic Be Well Lung Drops; my son used this product when he had croup and he was better in within 24 hours.
So why consider using homeopathic remedies? Homeopathic medicine believes that the body needs to learn to fight illnesses and develop antibodies on its own. These remedies are made from plants and minerals and are designed to treat the person as a whole by getting to the root of the illness. But, please don’t take our word for it, read what others are saying about these products….

THE HEALING BENEFITS OF WHEY AND COLOSTRUM

Whether you want to add lean muscle or improve your overall wellness whey protein combined with colostrum offers many health benefits. Whey protein is one of the most concentrated sources of essential amino acids available; its unique molecular structure makes it easy for the body to absorb. Whey protein has an excellent source of immune-enhancing compounds but combined with colostrum it makes it even more of a powerful healing agent.
A collection of studies show that some of the healing benefits experienced with the use of a whey colostrum product includes increase of lean muscle mass and endurance, increased buffering capacity of blood that is important for offsetting muscle fatigue which assists with the improvement recovery from hard training, decreased muscle breakdown, improved immune function, decreased risk of respiratory illnesses, can assist with weight loss, increased resistance to disease, assists with balancing blood sugar and enhances mood, improves autoimmune recovery (arthritis, asthma, colitis, cancer, Chron’s disease, diabetes, lupus etc.), assists with the prevention of cardiovascular disease, improves cognitive function, increases glutathione concentrates in relevant tissues, decreases inflammation, detoxifies potential carcinogens, provides protection against infections, increased post-surgical wound healing, promotes cell development, protection against oxidative stress, assists in slowing down the aging process, helps to repair “leaky gut” and creates stronger gut walls resulting in improved digestion, assists with the fight against osteoporosis, it assists in keeping your metabolic rate up and your hunger down. Studies show that there has been no severe adverse reaction linked to the consumption of whey protein products and that individuals with milk allergies find that casein is most often the culprit to their intolerance and therefore they are able to consume whey/colostrum products. But, if you are not sure, we always recommend that you check with your practitioner before altering your diet.
Relative to other protein sources, whey has a high concentration of branch chain amino acids. Luecine is helpful in the growth and repair of muscle tissue (such as bone, skin and muscles); it promotes wound healing and assists with energy regulation. It assists with the prevention of muscle protein breakdown that can occur after trauma or severe stress; it also stimulates insulin release. Valine in conjunction with other amino acids functions in regenerating tissue and is essential for a proper functioning nervous system, muscle development and coordination. Whey proteins are also rich in sulfur-containing amino acids cysteine and methionine; which is necessary for normal metabolism and growth. Methionine helps to neutralize toxins, improve strength of tissue, and can assist with the prevention of depression. Cells in the liver and kidneys especially need this amino acid for regeneration. Deficiencies allow fat to be retained in the liver and symptoms may include; hair loss, poor skin tone and toxic waste buildup. Methionine has the ability to increase the body’s level of glutathione, which is very important in assisting with detoxification of the liver.
Dr. Clement’s Pro-Colos product offers a delicious blend of vanilla flavored Whey protein obtained from Hormone Free Cows in New Zealand and fresh Grade “A” U.S. Dairy colostrum. The vanilla flavor is so good that you can mix it alone in water or in our family we add it to our organic berry smoothies in the morning. Either way the benefits that you will gain from whey combined with colostrum are amazing. A recent testimony which you can find on my site“
“I just can’t function properly without my Pro-Colos; I feel like a slug and I work retail and am the only one who hasn’t gotten sick. I really believe it is the Pro-Colos. I also have acid reflux or should I say I used to have acid reflux and I don’t anymore. Pro-Colos is some of the best stuff I’ve ever spent my money on and my funds are limited, but I make sure I have this stuff. Many Thanks” submitted on October 15, 2010 by Brenda from Upstate NY. I personally have been consuming Pro-Colos for about a year and within 30 days my psoriasis all on my right arm and hand completely disappeared. I decided since psoriasis was an autoimmune disorder and that was probably caused by the “leaky gut” that my DO told me I had, I decided to try it on my son who suffered from Celiac’s disease. After 3 months of taking the Pro-Colos he was able to consume dairy, gluten and wheat without suffering any adverse side effects. My daughter also suffered severely from Eczema and after taking the Pro-Colos for several months she no longer has any symptoms. I personally believe that once you heal the gut the rest follows suit since 80% of our immune system is found in our gut. So choose to take control of your health today so you too can live a natural way to a better life.
THE EFFECTS OF POOR DIGESTION

So many people today suffer from diseases that are a result of poor digestion; but what causes our digestive tracts to become out of balance? Poor digestion is a result of beneficial and bad bacteria imbalances in your intestinal tract. When this happens, “leaky gut” forms where large spaces develop between the gut walls causing toxins and bacteria to leak in through the gut and into the blood stream. When this happens the body launches an immune response which has a negative effect on your organs. In return, diseases such as fibromyalgia, acid reflux, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), autism, acne and more develop. Reported back in 2001 by the Nutrition Business Journal, “approximately 41 million people suffered from some form of chronic digestive disorder;” so can you imagine how many people suffer today?
Now you are probably wondering what caused the bacteria imbalance in the first place. Poor diet, oral contraceptives, aspirin, pesticides, corticosteroids, parasites, excessive alcohol consumption, antibiotic usage, stress, and much more are the reasons. But you can take measures to help balance the bacteria in your gut; by taking a probiotic supplement that contains acidophilus and Bifidus. Now I am not talking about supermarket yogurt. In fact, yogurt is not an effective source unless the culture has been added to the yogurt. Health food stores carry cultured products such as kefir and acidophilus milk but many people don’t like the taste. So supplementing with a good non-dairy probiotic is recommended. In fact, studies show that non-dairy forms of acidophilus have antifungal properties and have been known to reduce blood cholesterol levels, aid in digestion and enhance absorption of nutrients.
Additional supplements that have been used to treat “Leaky Gut Syndrome” include enzymes; such as amylase for carbohydrates, lipase for fats, protease for proteins and cellulose for fiber. Also used are vitamins B, A, E, and C, Zinc, Selenium, magnesium, manganese, N-acetyl cysteine, psyllium husk powder,essential fatty acids. Remember like anything else, you get what you pay for; so we recommend Dr. Grade nutraceuticals to ensure effectiveness. Consider Powders and liquids for quicker absorption.
Along with the above suggestions, my family has personally used Pro-Colos to restore gut health. Pro-Colos uses a combination of colostrum and whey protein; rich in free form amino acids which can easily pass through the lining of your digestive tract increasing absorption. This vanilla flavor powder tastes great and the colostrum works to balance your immune system while promoting cell repair. So consider the natural way to reestablish intestinal health and reap the benefits of a better life.
CoQ10 and YOUR HEART

You have probably heard of the term CoQ10 before but what exactly is it? Coenzyme Q is an antioxidant that is found in every cell of the body and is vital for cell growth and maintenance. This vitamin like substance helps cells to convert nutrients into energy and protects them from getting damaged by free radicals. It’s a fat soluble substance found in fatty fish, soy beans and spinach. Over time due to poor diets, toxins, etc. production slows down; when this happens process like collagen production; elastin and other molecular structures that give our skin youthful appearance slows as well. That is why many beauty products have taken advantage of including it in their ingredients; to improve skin-cell regeneration.
But CoQ10 offers so many more benefits; the Japanese have been known to use this powerful antioxidant as a means of preventing heart disease. Studies show that CoQ10 supplements have helped to improve heart muscle and patients who have experienced heart-failure or hypertension (high blood pressure) since their levels are normally low. Also reportedly, CoQ10 has been known to strengthen the heart, prevent hardening of arteries and reduce inflammation.
In addition to heart disease, reports show that CoQ10 helps with gum disease, breast cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, migraines, high blood pressure, skin diseases, fibromyalgia and much more.
If you wish to conduct additional research on CoQ10 a great book to read is “The Antioxidant Miracle.” We hope that you will empower yourself and choose to “Take Control of your health so you too can experience a natural way to a better life.
