Oxygenate
Oxygen is life. If we want healthy lungs, heart, brain, blood and gut, we suck in fresh air and breathe it down to our microbiome. Aerobic microbes need oxygen to thrive; anaerobic microbes that can live without oxygen make us sick. Hypoxia and acidosis cause fatigue and depression and create illness, whereas oxygenation makes us alkaline and feeds healthy cell metabolism for energy. Breathe, walk in nature, and be a steward of clean air. Learn about ozone and O2 therapies.
Hydrate
Chronic dehydration increases the risk of every chronic illness. It's bad for our brain, gut, heart, and even our teeth and gums. To hydrate, drink more clean water and skip the plastic. Filter kitchen tap and showers. Get enough electrolytes like magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium in the right ratios to carry water into cells. We need twice as much potassium as sodium, and most Americans have the reverse. Find the cleanest water sources in your area, and conserve.
Eat Smart
Take control of your food to give yourself the nutrients you need for vibrant lifelong health and wellbeing. Our best medicine is organic whole foods sourced from farmers we trust. Choose foods high in bioavailable nutrients and low in toxins like pesticides and herbicides. Take control of your kitchen. Eat enough good fats, be strategic with key vitamin and mineral supplements if needed, and say goodbye to inflammatory foods like refined sugar, refined wheat flour and pasteurized dairy.
Mouthbody Care
Think mouthbody connection. Choose an oral-systemic, biological dentist for holistic treatments of caries and gum disease and to free your mouth of root canals, mercury fillings, and toxic invasive dentistry. Brush with antimicrobial neem or xylitol toothpaste. Teeth are bones; you need calcium and Vitamins D & K to get calcium from your blood into your teeth. So floss and brush, but remember to eat a healthy lunch in the sun. Keep your mouth moist between meals by sipping water throughout the day.
Gutbrain Health
Our gut is our brain, and it’s our gut instinct. An unhealthy gut is the source of tics, compulsions, anxieties and depression. Food absorption through our gut is our main source of essential nutrients to sustain life. Nurture healthy microbes with prebiotics, probiotics, essential fats and raw vegan foods. A healthy gut mucosa and gut microbiome are the foundation for mental, emotional and physical health and wellbeing.
Mindbody Detox
Full of crap? Manage your own waste and toxic emotions with a nutritional wet fast—a fast way to jumpstart healthy change. Fasting cleanses, nourishes and restores core organs (intestines & colon, liver & gallbladder, kidneys & bladder) and the emotions they regulate (OCD, depression, anger, resentment, anxiety). Cleansing these organs takes stress off our heart, clears brain fog, elevates moods, strengthens immunity, and helps you self-regulate healthy cholesterol, blood sugar and hormones.
Balance Hormones
Keep your hair on your head, your feet warm at night, your body fat lean, and your sex drive turned on. Pineal, pituitary, thyroid, thymus, pancreatic, adrenal and gonad health depend on a healthy liver and good nutrition, especially good essential fats and minerals. Your endocrine glands create your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing—and they're easily compromised by herbicides, pesticides, plastics, petrochemicals, EMF and radiation.
Natural Immunity
A healthy immune system is your best defense against colds and flu. Crohn’s, diabetes, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, dementia and autism are all connected by chronic inflammation from an immune system gone awry. Support natural immunity by avoiding overuse of antibiotics and vaccines. Get enough Vitamin D, Vitamin C, zinc, magnesium and healthy fats like oleic acid to strengthen your natural immunity.
Unstress
Think “Om Shanti Shanti” is for new age gurus? Chronic stress spikes cortisol levels, increases inflammation, depletes your adrenal glands, acidifies your gut mucosa, weakens your immunity, and stresses your kidneys and heart. Take a deep breath. Slow down. Take a nap. Meditation is a good way to get a grip on stress. So is decalcifying your pineal gland to get a good night's sleep and visions of a future worth living.
Reduce Toxins
It’s inevitable. You are your environment. Pesticides, herbicides, petrochemicals, PCBs, plastics, mercury and plutonium were never as safe as we humans pretended. All of us have a responsibility to clean up our personal and collective ecosystem to reduce toxicity and prevent chronic conditions like mental illness, autism, cancer, arthritis, Parkinson’s and dementia. Be a conscious consumer. Read the labels. Read between the lines. Read the fine print. Read your rights. Then make informed choices that matter.
Move your bodymind
You evolved to move your body. It’s why you have a nervous system. Embodied consciousness wants to move. Moving is how you feel and respond to the world. It’s also how you maintain your health—your lymphatic system depends on movement to excrete waste. Feeling stuck? Not sure where you’re going or what you’re capable of? Find out by getting out of your chair and moving. When you synchronize your body, mind and emotions in daily movement—what you feel, say and do come into healthy harmony.
Sex, Fertility & Pregnancy
From birth to falling in love to sex, your relationships define you. They are the ultimate test of self-care—because to care for others you need to take care of yourself first. Nurture healthy relationships, sex, fertility and pregnancy as part of your overall wellbeing. Reach out and touch someone. Touch stimulates all the feel-good hormones you need to open your heart with empathy and connect—serotonin, prolactin, oxytocin, dopamine, endorphins and testosterone.
