When you feel connected to others during your workout, it makes it so much easier to build up the exercise habit.

First on Maui to offer popular Ornish heart-health program

By CATHERINE KENAR Special Sections Editor

ehind a nondescript entrance located deep within the maze of the J. Walter Cameron Center in Wailuku lies a unique organization dedicated to the health of the Native Hawaiian population of Maui. Hui No Ke Ola Pono, a private, not-for-profit communitybased health enhancement, disease prevention and health care center provides nutrition and health management programs, along with health care referrals in a culturally caring manner.

Created under the Native Hawaiian Health Care Act of 1988 (and reauthorized in the native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement Act of 1992), HNKOP provides comprehensive health promotion, disease prevention and primary health services.

The Hui, as it’s familiarly called, links geographical, social and cultural gaps.

This increases the ability for services to reach everyone in need and removes the disparities often faced by the population.

“In the last 26 years, HNKOP has developed 21 different programs and services, including a Simply Healthy Cafe and traditional

healing, serving as the ‘bridge’ to the Native Hawaiian community by integrating modern medical care with traditional Hawaiian values, beliefs and practices,” explains Melissa Hashimoto-Binkie, director of operations for HNKOP. Executive Director Joey Gonsalves oversees the operation. Internal medicine, led by Medical Director Dr. Heather Haynes, is available for clients aged 14 years and older. The Hui provides needed medical services for those without a primary care practitioner but even helps those with a PCP monitor their health.

Available services at the Hui include an on-site gym, overseen by Allison Dougherty, MSPT and a pool conducive for the popular water aerobics classes.

Dental services provided

by Dr. Emi Eno Orikasa, along with a dental hygienist and a dental assistant are able to provide preventive care.

They recently added the Virtual Dental Home program in Early Headstart, Headstart and at Hale Makua, which provides care via Internet for clients who cannot easily come to the facility or who live in remote areas.

Good to note is the Hui will provide transportation for people who may not have access to a ride.

Recently, a palpable excitement is being felt at the Hui, which is more often seen with a new organization than one that has been

around for over 30 years.

This can be attributed to the start of its newest program — Ho‘ola Pu‘uwai (or “Healing Hearts,”), Ornish Lifestyle Medicine program.

Already a huge success with two programs on Oahu (‘Ekahi Health System and Hawaii Pacific Health at

Straub Medical Center), and two programs on Hawaii Island (Hilo Medical Center and Island Heart Care in Kona), the Ornish program is a nine-week, 72-totalhour program that has been proven to prevent, stop and See HNKOP on Page T7

Improve personal health starting with digestion ou are what you eat” is a familiar adage that bears some truth. Research consistently points to specific functional components of foods and beverages that may improve overall health. Eating a diet that includes foods from all the major food groups and maintaining an optimally functioning digestive system are keys to a healthy lifestyle. But people may be able to do even more.

Digestive aids can provide the extra boost necessary to achieve a healthy gut. Digestive aids are supplements that can enhance the enzymes and functions of the body, and aid in the digestion of food.

Some aids may help reduce gas, bloating and flatulence, while others may boost the health of digestive flora or reduce constipation. Here’s a look at some of the digestive helpers that people may consider.

Probiotics

The Mayo Clinic says that probiotics are a type of “good” bacteria that can help with digestion and offer protection from harmful bacteria. Probiotics work in concert with other good bacteria already in the body.

Probiotics are found in many fermented foods, such as yogurt, sauerkraut and kefir, and can be found in concentrated supplement form. Two of the most common and well-known probiotics bacteria are lactobacillus and bifidobacterium. According to Prebiotin, a prebiotic manufacturer, bifidobacteria fight harmful bacteria in the intestines, prevent constipation and give the immune system a boost.

Evidence also indicates that bifidobacteria help reduce intestinal concentrations of certain carcinogenic enzymes.

to probiotics, but they are quite different. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says prebiotics are essentially the food necessary for probiotics to thrive.

Prebiotics are natural, nondigestible food components that help promote the growth of helpful gut bacteria. Prebiotics are different forms of fiber from foods like bananas, skins of apples, beans, chicory root and more. The undigested prebiotic is fermented by the time it reaches the large intestine and colon and feeds the probiotics to increase the desireable bacteria in the gut.

stomach ache.

More research is needed, but there is evidence that the supplement L-glutamine may help relieve diarrhea and help people absorb nutrients more effectively.

The resource Healthline also adds that L-glutamine may help with irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS. Tissues in the intestine use this amino acid as a fuel source to function well.

L-glutamine also appears to have a role in maintaining proper barriers within the intestine.

cognitive reframing is effective because the body’s stress response is triggered by perceived stress and not actual events. So by reframing the way you perceive a potentially stressful event, you can change your body’s response to it.

This technique is most effective when people are mindful of their thoughts, particularly those that might be negative or stress-inducing. ◆ Take breaks. A heavy workload may compel people to sit down at their desk and keep working until quitting time. However, that approach takes both a physical and emotional toll.

Sitting for long periods of time without getting up not only increases a person’s risk for various diseases, but it also can contribute to something known as decision fatigue. Decision fatigue occurs when someone must make frequent decisions throughout the day.

Without a break, such persons’ abilities to reason becomes compromised, and they may end up making poor decisions or feeling less confident in their decisions, which may increase their stress levels.

Frequent breaks, even if they’re just brief walks to get a glass of water, can help avoid both the physical and emotional effects of stress.

Stress affects people across the globe. Learning to manage it can make people happier in both their personal and professional lives.

Healing Catalyst goes ‘beyond bodywork’ with unique blend of healing modalities aui residents and visitors alike are finding relief from both physical and emotional problems with Denise LaBarre’s out-ofthe box Healing Catalyst approach.

Clients come with issues ranging from stress, joint problems and back pain to fibromyalgia, anxiety and depression. As LaBarre puts it: “Our bodies naturally use sensation and symptoms to communicate with us. But early on, we are taught to ignore our body’s messages, and suppress discomfort and unwanted emotions. At some point, the body begins to signal a backlog of stuck emotional energy with physical problems. We call this stress.

“I help people ‘hear’ what their bodies have been trying to communicate through pain, illness and disease.

This ‘re-connection kick’ starts the healing process on multiple levels, and the results are often fast and dramatic. For example, I’ve

helped people resolve 10 years of knee pain, or a long-held shoulder issue in a session or two.”

LaBarre’s book, “Issues in Your Tissues: Heal Body and Emotion from the Inside Out” has original cartoons, stories and simple exercises that help readers to feel into their own bodies and make healing connections for themselves.

Like the bodywork Denise performs, the book is about going in the body and feeling the energy without getting stuck in the head.

“It’s pretty straightforward

once you understand a few simple concepts and give yourself permission to feel,” says LaBarre. “Your healing answers are just waiting for you to discover them, and your breath provides the doorway to your healing experience.”

Her book has been a consistent best-seller in several Maui locations and is also available from Amazon.com in print and eBook formats.

Inspiring Change!

LaBarre, is a universitytrained linguist with a background in psychology, as well as a licensed massage therapist. She ran a translation agency in San Francisco before moving to Maui 27 years ago. She says that in her healing work, she uses her hands, her intuition and decades of skill and experience to translate the body’s messages for the mind.

This type of diet is consumed by so many people in the U.S. and other western societies that it is often called the “western diet.”

No wonder obesity has become such a problem.

junctions and thereby allows potentially harmful substances to pass into the brain.

To determine which areas of the brain are most vulnerable to the ill-effects of a leaky blood-brain barrier, we infuse a small amount of dye into the bloodstream of a rat and measure areas of the brain where the dye accumulates. In overweight rats fed a western-style diet, the dye appears to collect preferentially in the hippocampus, a brain structure involved with important learning and memory functions. As an apparent response to the accumulation of such intruding substances, the hippocampus becomes inflamed and its electrochemical activity changes. Rats that suffer these consequences also show deficits in their ability to use certain types of information processed by the hippocampus.

A vicious cycle

Do these deficits have anything to do with our ability to resist eating high-fat and sugary foods? We think they do. One type of information that is processed by the hippocampus takes the form of internal physiological signals about one’s need for food. Rats and people who have sustained damage to their hippocampus appear to have difficulty using those internal signals to tell whether or not they’ve had enough to eat or drink. In the presence of powerful cues in the environment that entice you to eat, a reduced See BRAIN on Page T8

Over the nine weeks, each cohort will meet twice a week for four hours each day.

They stay with a consistent group of people who share each other’s health histories and future goals.

Dedicated, unchanging clinicians guide these participants through every step of the program. Currently, at the Hui, these include: Program Director Hashimoto-Binkie, Psychologist Freitas, Stress Management Specialist Michelle Latorre Parker who directs yoga sessions at the Hui, Dougherty as the exercise physiologist and Haynes as medical director.

Dr. Dean Ornish has been a vocal supporter of the benefits of a plant-based diet from as far back as the 1970s. To support that aspect of the program, Simply Healthy Cafe Manager Cinda Hueu is working in tandem with Registered Dietician Christy Inda to develop plant-based meals following Ornish program guidelines that will appeal to the local palate.

“By implementing a program that teaches lifestyle changes using a comprehensive team [that] provides all the support and coaching that is needed for participants to make and sustain these changes, we believe this is an opportunity to affect positive change in the Native Hawaiian community on Maui,” concludes Hashimoto-Binkie.

“Since establishing itself in Hawaii, there have been over 1,000 participants that have enrolled in the program with a 90 percent completion rate.”
