Holistic Health
Do any of these scenarios, or pieces of them, sound familiar to you?
Sarah has been feeling anxious about everything. Panic attacks are becoming a daily thing for her. She needs something to help take the edge off and stop the panic attacks, but medication isn’t the route she wants to take.
Jack has a lot going on. He hasn’t been able to fall asleep easily. He needs something to calm his mind and body so he can get enough sleep to function. To top it off, Jack gets headaches often. The lack of sleep and headaches are making it hard for him to get out of bed and face the day without feeling tired, irritated, and hopeless.
Jessica feels stressed out every day. She has digestion issues that make it hard for her to live life to its fullest. Social situations now give her crippling anxiety that cause her to pull away from everyone and everything. She wants to heal her digestion issues, get her social life back, and live her life!
Gut and brain connection
Our guts and brains are connected. Our gut makes up a large part of our immune system. When our gut is messed up, so is our mood and our health. Healing and helping our gut is essential for helping ourselves heal physically and emotionally.
Our diet is extremely important
Simply put, when we eat foods our body doesn’t like, it wreaks havoc on our body – which manifests in many different ways. When we eat the foods our body is okay with, it can heal, rest, and reset.
Alternatives to medication
Sometimes our bodies need help. If medication isn’t the direction you want to go, then supplementation may be the route to take. Supplements may come in the form of herbs, vitamins, minerals, essential fats, and the like. Sometimes our bodies are missing essential nutrients to function properly; when we give our body what it needs, miracles can happen.
Herbs are powerful healing agents. They can actually get to the root-cause of our symptoms and get rid of and/or heal the cause. Pretty amazing stuff!
Aromatherapy is amazing, too. Essential oils have intense healing powers for our psyche and our bodies. It’s not uncommon to find diffusers running in our offices.
Referrals may be needed
Our bodies are SO complex. Sometimes different testing may be needed to see what is going on with your body. Referrals may be made to further understand certain aspects of what’s happening. This will assist in getting to the root-cause and help you with your symptoms.
