Many of us have taken to social media as a form of entertainment and our main source of interaction over the past few months, and because of this, it is important for us to be mindful of how we are using these platforms to foster our growth and understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Dogs aren’t only our best friends, but they can also be powerful teachers. Living life in the present, embracing our lot, giving to others, and enjoying time together all contribute to a healthier well-being.

Your stress hormones have a big impact on how your body functions and feels. Depending on your individual physiology, this will either help & protect you from stress, or have the opposite effect. Cortisol is the body’s main hormone to help the body manage stress, and it’s secreted regardless of the type of stress - physical (bad food choices, food sensitivities [ 319 more words ] http://tanyamceachern.com//stress-hormones-the-cortisol-c/

As wonderful as our bodies are, we don’t produce Vitamin B12 on our own - It must be consumed in our diet. And it can be hard to get as much as we need, leaving many people with sub-optimal and even deficient levels of this essential nutrient. Vitamin B12 supports neurological and cardiovascular health, can improve energy, focus, and mental alertness, can decrease pain and inflammation, and is maybe best known for helping healthy weight loss. Deficiencies of B12 commonly res...ult from some medications, alcohol consumption, smoking, poor digestion, and/or lack of insufficient dietary intake. Heavy periods are another common culprit. Symptoms of deficiency include: * Fatigue * Anemia * Poor Memory * Strange Sensations in your Hands and Feet * Difficulty Losing Weight * Chronic Pain * Depression * Anxiety * Swollen Tongue Does this sound like you? Your B12 levels can easily be measured with a blood test. Also offered by us is functional nutrient testing, which measures your body’s utilization of key vitamins including B12. We do that test with urine. The quickest way to bring levels up is with a B12 injection. Straightforward and easy, the injected form bypasses the digestive system, allowing it to be absorbed more readily into the bloodstream for optimal effects. We offer B12 shots @HealthInBalance - shots take less than 10 minutes to administer, and are a great add-on to your osteopathic, massage, naturopathic, or psychotherapy session.

The soul of a dog is a very special expression of consciousness, as anyone who has ever known and loved a dog well understands. Animals have the capacity to teach you reverent, timeless spiritual truths simply by being who they are.

Natural healing practices and a healthy lifestyle can make all the difference to your human body, mind, and spirit, so why would it be any different for your dogs? The impactful natural healing practices of Ayurveda, which many of us follow daily, apply equally as well to your canine companions.

Of the five main organs of elimination, the large intestine (aka LI, lower bowel, colon) is probably the most abused & neglected. Poor dietary choices, environmental contaminants and insufficient digestion all contribute to an excess of undigested food particles and toxins in the LI, leading to putrefaction, gas and bloating that promote the growth of harmful microorganisms in the gut. Over time, the LI turns sluggish and can’t carry out its main function - moving poop out of... the body. Optimal transit time (how long food should be in your body before exiting as poop) is around 18 hours. For the average person, this is now between 2-4 days. Ask me if you’re interested in testing your bowel transit time. Us NDs can be considered the main authority on all things poop, and we aren’t afraid to talk about it (you don’t have to be either!). Abdominal pain, flatulence, constipation and diarrhea are obvious signs of LI toxicity. Foggy thinking, chronic fatigue, arthritis, circulatory problems and skin disorders are also a result of damage and dysfunction due to LI toxicity, at least in part. Does this sound familiar? Maybe this describes your experience with your poop. Colon clear is a powerful LI cleanser. Although it has some mild herbal laxative action, this is not the main reason to use it. We should never need or use laxatives on a regular basis to poop. It’s a sign that your body isn’t working right if you need to take anything to poop (or if you don’t poop every day). Laxatives (milk of magnesia, vitamin C, senna, etc.) are also highly abrasive to the colon. Colon clear helps restore regular function to the LI; tonifying and optimizing elimination. I recommend colon clear to my patients who are constipated, first and foremost. When I’m doing a series of colonics (colon hydrotherapy), I usually recommend it then as well - it just helps everything clear out so much faster. Other times that I use it are for people with chronic loose stools or diarrhea, for people who have been diagnosed with any gut infection (it’s wonderful to clear out food poisoning, for example, and/or candida), and for heavy metal detox.

Life can be challenging. With all the demands put upon you by work, family, relationships, external circumstances, and even yourself, it often feels as if you are Atlas, supporting the entire world upon your shoulders. The modern world is moving faster than ever, and it seems as if you will never catch up to all the competing priorities and challenges for your time. This experience can be best summed up in one word: overwhelm...

*Tiger Pose / Vyaghrasana* Vyaghra = sanskrit for tiger Great for core strengthening, digestion (via spleen and stomach meridian stimulation), and balancing the solar plexus.... The solar plexus, located just below the xyphoid, is the foundation of Manipura (third chakra). It’s associated the fire element, the colour yellow, and with issues of personal power and one’s sense of self. As you work with this pose and this chakra, cultivate a willingness to gain insight into your understanding of power, individuality, and identification. Are there areas of your life where you feel powerless? How does this manifest for you? In some, a misaligned third chakra can make skillful self-expression challenging. In some it manifests as aggressive, overly rigid, or controlling behavior (signs of an excess pattern), while in others it breeds a victim mentality, neediness, and lack of direction or self-esteem to stand up and take positive action (signs of a deficiency pattern). Physical signs that this area needs work are all things digestive: diarrhea, constipation, ulcers, eating disorders, bloating, abdominal pain, etc. From an anatomical point of view, tiger pose is great for strengthening arms, glutes, and core - much needed for this postpartum mama of two! It also helps open the chest, and warms the spine. Alignment Tips: make sure your shoulders are right over your wrists, don’t allow your spine to over-arch by tightening your abs, and keep your hips level (there’s a tendency to let the hip of the raised leg elevate too much). Lastly, send your chest forward to get the full juicy pec stretch. Tigers are powerful animals - some of the most fierce and respected creatures on earth. Channeling their energy in this posture helps foster feelings of strength, empowerment, and resilience. Connecting with your personal power may grant you a deeper understanding of your purpose and bring you a sense of peace

If you’ve ever practiced meditation around your pet, you may have noticed the way they are drawn toward your peaceful energy. In fact, whenever you sit with your canine or feline companion (as with almost any other animal) while in a restful, relaxed space, they soon feel at ease and become more still as a result. They may even position themselves strategically by your side in order to make physical contact and enjoy the warmth and connection with you.

Something to think about when you’re on the road to making lasting health changes. Whether you’re following a good sensitivity diet, doing a detox, or simply trying to drink 2L of water per day, remember why you started. Reaching your goal might feel just a little bit easier if you do
