Our body is simply incredible and yet many of us take it for granted day in and day out.
Unfortunately, modern day life has us too depleted, from poor nutrition, poor sleep, and high stress for our body to find its way back to balance on its own. We also lack the education to know how our daily activities are causing these imbalances inside our body and we can’t see inside of ourselves, and so don’t realize what is going on until we get whacked by a wrecking ball and a diagnosis of a chronic disease. It doesn’t have to be this way!
We only get one body, and we need to look after it! If your body is failing you, it isn’t your fault, there are many things in society today working against you taking care of your body.
- Lack of education
- High stress
- Poor Nutrition
- Belief in a magic pill to make us better – except that often results in chronic illness.
Our body would just like to be in balance, and yet the things we do all day long, from the food we eat, to the stress we are under, to the lack of sleep can create imbalances within our body and because it’s happening inside, where we can’t see it, we don’t necessarily know it.
Our Body Tries to Let Us Know What It Needs
Yet we are constantly busy. We don’t slow down enough to hear our bodies messages to us. Or perhaps we do hear the messages but have been programmed by society to believe it’s just “normal aging” or “genetics” or “seasonal allergies” or whatever label we give it to allow ourselves to ignore the messages and keep going in our busy lives.
When We Ignore Our Bodies Messages What Happens?
Our body continues to get more and more out of balance. When our bodies are out of balance it will trigger inflammation and over time, that causes our cells to turn on our genes that predispose us to certain diseases.
Epigenetics has shown that 90 – 95% of all diseases are triggered by the environment you create inside your body.
I know these stats can sound scary, but I like to think of them as empowering, as they mean that in 90 – 95% of the cases of all disease, you have the CHOICE as to whether your cells turn on the genes for that disease! You might be genetically predisposed to heart disease, but that doesn’t mean you WILL get heart disease. Instead, it means you have the choice to create a body that is in balance, with normal levels of inflammation, so your cells never turn on your genes!
I’m Sure You Are Now Asking “How Do I Do That?”
It all starts with education, because you don’t know what you don’t know until you need to know. Knowledge is power! What if you could learn about your health now to start to take preventative action? This is the missing piece in society, we are not taught how to take preventative steps in our health. Your health is your true wealth, or your greatest asset, and you want to take care of your greatest asset, right?
You take care of your house don’t you, cleaning bathrooms and your kitchen, vacuuming the carpets, fixing things that are broken, painting it, doing renos. You take care of your car, taking it for regular services and oil changes, to make sure your car runs correctly, right?
Do you take care of your body? Ok, maybe you shower every day, maybe you exercise every day, (and if you do kudos to you, but you are still in the minority). What else are you doing to take care of your body?
- Do you know your inflammation levels, do you know your cortisol levels, are you taking care of them?
- Do you know your mineral levels? One of the most common causes of heart disease is an imbalance in your electrolytes – Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium.
- Do you know if your hormones are out of balance, do you know all 4 thyroid markers?
1 in 8 women will get thyroid disease in her life, and yet our medical system only looks at 1 marker, not all 4 markers in an annual exam. Knowing all 4 allows for early warning signs, by the time the 1 marker shows a problem with the thyroid, it takes longer to bring it back into balance.
- Do you know if your gut has candida or bacterial overgrowth, mold, fungus, parasites, or H. Pylori?
- Do you struggle with gas or bloating, acid reflex, constipation, or diarrhea?
These are signs of an unhappy digestive system, a gut that is out of balance.
Our Gut Is An Entire Eco-System Of:
- 40,000 species of bacteria,
- 5 million species of fungi
- 300,000 species of parasites in our microbiome
This is 6 pounds of living species, and over 100 trillion microbes! All designed to be in balance to help break down our food and keep our immune system strong to fight off pathogens and live symbiotically within us for our optimal wellbeing.
Stress, poor nutrition, poor sleep, antibiotics, food sensitivities and intolerances, birth control, anti-inflammatory products like Tylenol and Advil and more can create imbalances in our gut. Imbalances in our gut causes inflammation, and that can trigger cells to turn to disease.
How Do You Find Out If Your Body Is Out Of Balance?
The easiest and quickest way is to run at-home lab tests. These labs are literally mailed to your home with instructions on how to do them. I offer my clients discount pricing on these labs, and we work together over a minimum of 4 sessions, as we guide your body back into balance based on what we see in the labs.
I saw a gap in the market when I was working with my own naturopath, and referring others to her, they would get their results and that would be it! They’d be told what they SHOULD do, but did they do it? Did they know where to start? In most cases the answer was “no”, and it all felt so hard that most of them didn’t do anything. There is no point having this information and then doing nothing!
I had to do something to help! I started supporting my clients through a process of 4 sessions and use of an app. I provide meal plans, and recipes if needed, help adjust supplements as needed, so you have the accountability you need, the ability to get your questions answered and together we bring your body back into balance. This high level of support is what gets results for my clients, which is what I want for you too: results!
Why Are These At-Home Lab Tests So Important?
They provide you so much information as to what is going on INSIDE your body, and as we look for the imbalances, we then know the steps to take to re-balance the body. Once the body is back in balance, it will heal itself if needed. That is what it is designed to do. Our daily life has us so far out of balance, we’ve burned through all our vitamins and minerals and the body is in a state that is simply too depleted to bring itself back into balance so it can heal itself, it needs help to get back into balance. A body in balance doesn’t get sick, harbor disease or hold onto excess weight.
I encourage you to go to my YouTube Channel where I have done a video that shows examples of what the labs look like. The video is called “At-Home Lab Test Description”
