Setting Boundaries

End of people pleasing and entering your "villain" era. The simple search "villain era" on TikTok brings up thousands of videos that showcase people putting an end to people pleasing and embracing their so-called villain era.

But while boundary setting and putting an end to people pleasing are both valuable for your mental health, there is something wrong with this being phrased as villainous behavior; I say BOUNDARIES.

Healing your Inner Child

There is a trend where people openly acknowledge challenging childhood moments and work on coming to terms with those experiences.

Rest as Resistance

Rest is the perfect trend, and I want to encourage people to lean further into the trend of resting - so literally sleeping, napping, doing things that fill you up - as a form of resistance against oppression, against patriarchy, against all sorts of things.

Walking Meetings

The trend encourages people to disconnect from technology, which is a bonus as many people (unfairly) deal with an expectation to be constantly connected to their email and phone. This also helps people get outside in nature, which adds to its importance this year.

Bio-technology for Beauty

Biotech is laying the groundwork for a more sustainable beauty future. In the year ahead, we'll expand our view on what is "natural"—and stop fearing all lab-derived ingredients.

Metabolic Health

Next year, there will be a huge movement to take personalized steps toward optimized metabolic health. After all, your metabolism isn't your fate; metabolic efficiency and optimization are possible.

Easier Access to Hot and Cold Therapy

Brace yourself: Sauna blankets and cold plunges are going to be our recovery tools of choice in the new year. The industry for hot and cold therapy is just heating up, and everyone's going to want to dive in.

Inactivity - A Vital Health Metric

In 2023, we'll care less about hitting 10,000 steps than we do about minimizing time sitting still. Expect people to prioritize regular movement— even while seated—during their everyday lives in the new year.

What do fast-food wrappers, pizza boxes, nail polish, and waterrepellent clothing have in common? These and many other commonly used products contain highly toxic manufactured chemicals that have seeped into our environment - including our municipal water supply - and threaten public health.

Dubbed the “forever chemical,” perand polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been widely used since the 1950s. Because they aren’t degradable, they accumulate in our environment - and bodies - over time. Most Americans are completely unsuspecting of their prevalence and the damage these stubborn chemicals can do.

Where Do They Come From?

PFAS are found in the foams used by firefighters and in not-so-obvious items such as household cleaning products, stain-resistant furniture, carpeting, fast food wrappers, and non-stick chemical coatings in our cookware (think Teflon).

What Are the Harmful Effects of PFAS?

Remember that these “forever chemicals” don’t readily degrade. Occasional exposure to these chemicals may not seem like much, but it’s the cumulative effect of the ingestion of PFAS that has landed these chemicals on my “high-alert” list. In other words, these chemicals build up over time as we are exposed again and again to them.

Nearly all of us here in the U.S. have PFAS in our blood. In fact, these chemicals are found in the umbilical cord blood of babies as well as the breast milk provided for them! The most vulnerable of our population is starting out at a distinct disadvantage.

Over time, these chemicals can do a lot of damage to our bodies:

• PFAS are endocrine-disrupting chemicals and can wreak havoc with our hormones.

• PFAS contributes to kidney and testicular cancer.

• PFAS also contributes to liver and thyroid problems.

• PFAS have been linked to an increased risk of birth defects and other reproductive problems, including the timing of puberty in our children.

Bottom line? It’s HIGHLY advisable to avoid the over-accumulation of PFAS for yourself and your family. But how do you do that?

Making Your Water Safe to Drink

Gone are the days when you could assume that the drinking water from your tap – or even the bottled water you pay for – is safe to consume.

It takes special types of water filtration materials and technology, such as the CWR MetalgonTM Filter included in our Crown Water Filter Series, that removes different kinds of toxic substances, including PFAS chemicals. CWR’s sink and whole house filtration systems are custom designed to remove a wide range of chemicals, fluoride, heavy metals, and other toxic substances detected in your water supply.

Our main goal at CWR Environmental is to provide filtration equipment solutions to protect your health, improve the quality of your life, and ensure your water is as clean as nature intended. Please contact us so that we may assist you in selecting the best water filtration system to purify your home drinking and bathing water.

Can laughter really keep us fit and healthy?

Now let’s talk about, not just joy or happiness, but specifically about laughing.

Norman Cousins, in his classic book, The Anatomy of an Illness According to the Patient, recounts how he came to discover laughter as a positive influence in healing. Just by watching and laughing at a Laurel and Hardy movie on TV, while in the hospital, his autoimmune markers significantly dropped. Here’s some of my favorite Norman Cousin quotes:

“Laughter is a form of internal jogging. It moves your internal organs around. It enhances respiration. It is an igniter of great expectations.”

“An adequate share of humor and laughter represents an essential part of the diet of the healthy person.”

“Of all the gifts bestowed by nature on human beings, hearty laughter must be close to the top.”

“Laughter serves as a blocking agent. Like a bullet-proof vest, it may help protect you against the ravages of negative emotions that can assault you in disease.”

“Laughter may or may not activate the endorphins or enhance respiration, as some medical researchers contend. What seems clear, however, is that laughter is an antidote to apprehension and panic.”

I love his human and practical approach, from the physical (internal jogging) to the sublime.

• Laughter carries physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and personal power.

• Yes, laughter can be like internal jogging, or internal rebounding.

• We generally laugh more and harder when we’re with others. We bond together with those with whom we share giggles.

• Laughing triggers a cascade of endorphins, and resets our mood in a positive direction

In order to get the “surprise twist” in most jokes, we get elevated into a realm of the absurd where opposites meet. This creates new neural pathways, opens us to have an “aha” moment of new perception, and gives us a transcendent perspective.

Making people laugh carries an innate status upgrade, and inter-personal rewards.

It can be a positive expression of personal power. It can influence you to make light of seriousness, and snap you out of a rigid mindset. That’s powerful!

Laughter lightens us up. More than a reprieve from the seriousness or responsible side of life, it helps us discover our roots in play. Play is universal for humans, and for many other species on the planet.

Have you seen the YouTube video of the crow that carries a jar lid onto a metal roof so it can slide down it, over and over again? Or the video of the dogs that get to swim in the pool, who go down the slide, and jump in over and over again? Or the otters who juggle stones (no kidding!). Or the cow that plays with a giant inflated ball? Or the dolphins who blow and play with bubbles under water? Or the dogs that jump with their humans on a huge trampoline? Or the pitbull who rolls down the grassy hillside, over and over again? Or the squirrels that chase each other?

I knew a pitbull named Smiling Jack, because when he wagged his tail, he…..smiled! And how about when Koko the signing gorilla met Robin Williams, and invited him to tickle her, as she tickled him!?

It’s in us, and we can feel it and express it. The sheer joy of embodiment, and dare I say it: existence!

Proverbs 17:22 – “A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones”.

Psalms 126:2 – “Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.”

I’ve noticed that when people get sick, or stop feeling good, they stop laughing. Laughter isn’t only a sign of feeling good, it becomes a path towards feeling good when we are not well.

A difficult medical diagnosis, or grappling with an illness, often rob us of a carefree existence. Sickness is serious. Even in the ICU, we nurses found dark humor to help us face or deal with the seriousness of suffering we encountered daily. Sometimes we shared that with our patients, and we laughed together. (see my silly hospital stories for examples). Care-free, as a form of detached play, is still available to us, even in the midst of tragedy. That brilliant movie, Life is Beautiful, about a father and a son as inmates in a Nazi concentration camp, is a great example of that. Who would have thought it possible to make a comedy about the Holocaust, but Italian writer and actor, Roberto Benigni, pulled it off!

In therapy groups, we laugh a lot. The more we can laugh at our human foibles as we confess them, the better the chances are of doing deep integrative work.

I laugh at you the way your loving brother laughs at you, and that means I’m not “polite” about it, or politically correct, or even overly careful with you: I treat you as a silly person, whether you know you are silly or not. I don’t laugh at your suffering, but I celebrate your innately absurd and fun-loving nature, even as I help you deal with your pain.

I often say in groups, “You can’t pay for entertainment like this,” and I’m referring to the poignant, absurd moments of raw humanness that emerge when we encounter each other with some openness.

I’m talking about how inner congruence helps people make a leap into wellness, and an elderly gentle woman politely asks, “what about the congruence of murdering someone we don’t like?” I couldn’t stop laughing for a solid twenty minutes! We referred to her as the evil witch, and by the end of the group time, even she made silly references to getting a tattoo and telling people to fuck off. The sheer folly of this sweet little woman showing up as such a rowdy person! We all laughed and laughed! She gave us permission to color outside the lines. “You can’t say ‘fuck’ in the healing circle,” I said, and we all hooted. “I appreciate your negativity,” I said. “In fact, I’m holding a negativity training weekend this weekend. And I don’t care if you sign up.” We hooted some more! What a relief to just be silly, to say things we just wouldn’t ordinarily say. Permission to live! Welcome aboard!

Or when comedian, Collin Quinn, at his graduation, said about Hippocrates’ owner Brian Clement: “Where does he get his suitsSoprano yard sales?” I almost peed in my pants!

Laughter is most potent when it shines the light of truth, when it shows up as a feature of our authenticity. Unlike the story of a mere joke, deep laughter reflects our transcendent nature, our ability to see joy beneath the mask of sorrow.

When I’m truly laughing, I’m enjoying my self, my ability to enjoy, and you as part of all that. Authentic laughter includes and connects, and is never at anyone’s expense. Even when I’m laughing at you, I’m laughing with you, and when the spirit is right, you’ll get that, and we’ll draw closer.

People say I have the power to make people cry in therapy sessions, but I think my real super power is that I can make you laugh, even when you’re crying.

This is an excerpt from Andy’s latest book, Get Real, Get Well: The Power of Authenticity to Heal, available on Amazon and the Hippocrates store.
