What is Intuitive Eating?
I
ntuitive eating is a way of eating that has nothing to do with diets, meal plans, discipline or willpower. It’s about getting back to your roots and learning to trust your body again. Here’s an overview of Intuitive Eating including the science behind it, and the ten principles of Intuitive Eating. Intuitive Eating is an approach to health and wellness that helps you tune into your body signals, break the cycle of chronic dieting and heal your relationship with food. In short: intuitive eating is normal eating. From a wellness professional perspective, Intuitive Eating is a framework that helps keep us focused on internal cues instead of on restrictive rules. We are all born natural intuitive eaters. Babies cry, they eat, and then stop eating until they’re hungry again. Kids innately balance out their food intake from week to week, eating when they’re hungry and stopping once they feel full. Some days they may eat a lot of food, and other days they may eat barely anything. They do this instinctively and naturally. As we grow older and rules and restrictions are set around food, we lose our ‘inner intuitive eater’. We begin to focus on what we should and shouldn’t eat. We learn that dessert is a reward, and it can be taken away if we misbehave. We are told that certain foods are good for us and others are bad – causing us to feel good about ourselves when we eat certain foods and guilty when we eat others. Over time, we begin to associate the act of eating with restriction and punishment. We learn to make food decisions purely based on outside factors. We stop trusting ourselves. Intuitive Eating is not a diet. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite. There’s no counting calories or macros and no making certain foods off limits. It’s not about following a meal plan or measuring your portions (in fact, that is all discouraged!). Instead, it’s about re-learning to eat outside of the diet mentality, putting the focus on your internal cues (aka your intuition) like hunger, fullness, pleasure and satisfaction. THE 10 PRINCIPLES OF INTUITIVE EATING 1. Reject the Diet Mentality. Think about it: where has the focus on dieting gotten you to at this point in your life? What has it done to your body? Your mind? It’s not about your lack of willpower or about you being a failure. It’s the system of dieting that is the problem – diets are a set up for failure. Research shows that the act of dieting increases your risk of gaining weight. Remind yourself: if

bad about yourself).
dieting is the problem, how can it be part of the solution? Reject the idea that there are any good diets out there. Get rid of books and magazines that tout diets as easy or quick weight loss techniques. Unfollow social media accounts that propel the dieting myth and diet behaviors (especially those that make you feel
2. Honor Your Hunger. Hunger is a normal, biological process. Your body needs to know, and to trust, that it consistently will have access to food. If you try to override feelings of hunger and don’t eat enough calories, your body reacts with cravings and binges. Are there times when you felt hunger, but didn’t eat? How come? Get started with honoring your hunger. 3. Make Peace with Food. Allow all foods into your diet and give yourself unconditional permission to eat. Stop categorizing foods as “good” or “bad” – no one food has the power to make you healthy, just like no one food has the power to make you unhealthy. If you tell yourself you can’t have or shouldn’t have a certain food, you will eventually feel deprived; this deprivation builds into uncontrollable cravings and overeating. When you finally “give in” to that food, you’re likely to overeat – since you don’t know when you’ll be able to have it again. This overeating triggers guilt, which starts the cycle all over again: deprivation or restriction –> cravings and overeating –> feelings of guilt. It’s a rollercoaster ride! 4. Challenge the Food Police. The food police are the thoughts in your head that declare you as “good” for eating a salad for lunch and “bad” because you ate dessert/carbs/etc. These are the unreasonable rules that were created by dieting that cause you to feel guilty. These rules are housed deep in your brain and pop up on a daily basis to govern your food decisions. It’s impossible to view eating as a normal, pleasurable activity when the food police have hold. Challenging the food police is an important step towards becoming a natural intuitive eater. 5. Feel Your Fullness. Food rules cause us to feel like we “have” to eat at certain meal times – when it is allowed, or that you “have” to consume this and that. Listen for signals that tell you that you are feeling full and satiated. Pause partway through a meal or snack and check in with your body. How does the food taste? How much pleasure is in the process? How full do you feel? Bring more consciousness and awareness to your meals.
6. Discover the Satisfaction Factor. It’s possible to be physically full but not satisfied. If you’re unsatisfied you’ll probably keep looking for that one thing that is going to make you feel satisfied and content and you’re likely to overeat. When you eat what you really want, and bring consciousness to the act, the feelings of satisfaction and pleasure you feel will help you be content (often with less food). It’s a natural way to diminish cravings. 7. Cope With Your Emotions Without Using Food. Emotional eating is very common. We often eat for reasons other than physical hunger and food is often used to cover up unpleasant feelings and emotions. If you are not hungry for food discover what other nourishment you are hungry for and try to fulfill that. We all have commitments that we can’t just walk away from – work, meetings, childcare, clients, etc. But sometimes all it takes is 5 minutes of quiet to refresh you. We can be hungry for touch, movement, water, music, quiet, meditation, nature, a good cry, or a talk with a friend. As the Rolling Stones said, “we can’t always get what we want”, at least not in the moment. But we can try and figure out a way to get it in the near future. It’s important to find ways to comfort yourself and resolve your emotions without using food. 8. Respect Your Body. We’re so quick to judge ourselves and criticize our bodies. Learning to respect your body for how it is at this moment is an important tenant of Intuitive Eating. If you are too critical of your body and don’t accept yourself as you are, it’s hard to reject the diet mentality. We can’t hate our way to a happy body, we can only love ourselves toward it.
sider how certain foods make you feel, in addition to how tasty and satisfying they are to you. One meal or one snack or one day of eating will not cause you to gain weight or have a health problem. It’s the consistency of what (and most importantly how) you eat over time that makes the difference. THE SCIENCE BEHIND INTUITIVE EATING A number of research studies have shown that Intuitive Eating is linked to: • Higher self-esteem • Better body image • More satisfaction with life • Optimism and well-being • Proactive coping skills • Lower body mass index • Lower rates of emotional eating • Lower rates of disordered eating • Decreased cravings It has been my experience that the entire relationship between you and your food, you and your body, and you and your spirit will transform with these simple practices. Remember, it doesn’t matter if the room has been in the dark for 15 minutes or 15 years, when the light goes on, the room is illuminated – and it becomes a beacon for everyone else. May it be so, for you, and your loved ones.
INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT INTUITIVE EATING? I work with clients locally and virtually, helping individuals who are frustrated with dieting change their relationship with food and say goodbye to diets once and for all. You can also learn more about my upcoming 8 week group program “Love Your Body ~ Love Your Life! 7 Steps To Personal Transformation & Making Peace With Food For Good” beginning February 2019. This program helps break the cycle of emotional eating and dieting. Participants find inner clarity, take steps to trust themselves with food, begin to live life with more pleasure and joy, learn self-care practices, and develop long-term eating and lifestyle habits that truly make a difference!

9. Movement – Feel The Difference. Instead of focusing on the exercise you think you “should” be doing, shift your focus to what types of movement feel good to you. Forget about the calorie burning effect of exercise and think about how you feel after engaging in movement you enjoy. Do you feel energized? Do you sleep better? If you use exercise only as a way to lose weight or eat more food, and it doesn’t feel enjoyable, it’s not going to be something you will stick with long term. 10. Honor Your Health With Gentle Nutrition. Being healthy doesn’t mean eating perfectly. Con-

Pastured Farm Food Club
T
he Pastured Farm Food Club was created because of our belief in the Weston A. Price Foundation and its recommendations. We chose the Amos Miller Organic Farm as our primary source of food because as Amish farmers they are committed to providing our members with foods we can trace, are nutrient dense and are chemical free. Their transparency and farming philosophy attracted us to join their Membership Association and to offer their unmatched clean and nourishing foods to those who would like to be part of a healthy lifestyle.
WHOLESOME NUTRIENT-DENSE FOODS FROM AMISH FARMS
No GMOs, chemicals, hormones or antibiotics ever Raw milk and dairy from Cows, Goats, Camels and more Grass-fed and finished beef, lamb, goats and other meats Fertilized Goose, Duck and Chicken Eggs Plus vegetables, baked goods, bone broth and much more!
We know that you have many choices nowadays, but knowing where and how your food is grown, having the option to contact and visit our farm(s) and be able to support a farm who in return is supporting our health is something – I feel confident – is very important. Dr. Price’s research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health – generation after generation – only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.

We need nutrient dense foods that will help our bodies to become more resilient to external foreign stressors, like pesticides, GMOs and a whole host of other assaults that we have little control over. Many of us are familiar with the importance of filtering our drinking water, but most often than not, we are unfortunately left in the dark about the vitality and purity of our daily bread. Nutritional labels have become increasingly deceptive and difficult to trust and the mandate to list every ingredient is not going to happen anytime soon. As the owner of Pastured Farm Food Club, I can attest to the purity and nutrient density of all of the foods we are making available to you. I was able to correct severe nutritional deficiencies and become well again, once I understood the philosophy of Dr. Weston A. Price.
Besides helping you digest and absorb your food, your gut is a key player in regulating your immune system. Plus, your gut talks to your brain 24/7 through nerves, hormones, proteins and neurotransmitters which affects your whole body. If You have gut or other symptoms that remain unresolved… Give us a call.

As all calories are not alike, so are the differences in the foods you are eating. Most foods we are consuming are low on nutrients and full of chemicals our bodies don’t know what to do with or how to dispose of. And chemicals are all around us. They are not just in the foods we are eating, but the water we are drinking and the air we are breathing – and we need pure natural food to survive the onslaught and to prevent disease and future health problems.
napalmbeach.com
If you feel that the connection between your mind and body and the foods you are eating is broken, I’d like to invite you to become a member of our Association and share the harvest from those crops and animals our farmers are growing for us and nourish yourself from the abundant selection of raw dairy and animal products that are raised and grown in an ancient and most traditional way. Our farmers strive to grow the healthiest animals and foods possible and are proud to say that they refuse to pay the price that cruelty and short cuts cause and which are sadly most common when we buy our foods from non-transparent sources. If you share our view and want to change course, join us risk free. If you are not happy for any reason we will refund your membership after you placed your first order, no questions asked.

This New Year, Let Yourself Shine “If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself... Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is your own self-transformation.” – Lao Tzu
W
e can make changes in our lives whenever we choose. Yet the New Year marks a traditional time to make resolutions. It provides an opportunity to reflect on the past year, take stock of our lives now and make plans for a better future. We may be asking ourselves, “What can I do to lead a more satisfying life? To be happier? Healthier? More successful?” After the year we have just lived through, many of us might also be wondering, “What can I do to make this world a better place?” There’s a popular Facebook meme that, in part, says: “I’m going to be holding doors for strangers, letting people cut in front of me in traffic, respecting my elders, saying good morning, being patient with a waiter, and smiling at strangers…Find your own way to swing the pendulum in the direction of love.” The Abraham Teachings put it this way: “Everything comes to you by the power of your thoughts. When you put your attention on things
that are pleasing, pleasing things become more and more abundant in your experience.” We make this world a better place by setting a positive example and by fulfilling our own highest potential. As Marianne Williamson wrote, “As we let our own light shine, we give other people permission to do the same.” How can you shine brighter? Is there something you’ve always wanted to experience, learn or create? Do you have a passion to be an artist? A speaker? A healer? Now is the time! Take the first step. If you choose to learn something new, grow as a person, help others feel better and possibly even start a new career, how about taking a course in Reflexology? Reflexology is a natural healing technique that consists of applying firm, gentle pressure to “reflex points” on the hands, face, ears and (most often) feet—that reflect each organ, gland and part of the body. Reflexology offers a multitude of health benefits including stress reduction, pain relief, improved circulation, cleansing of toxins, a strengthened immune system, increased energy and enhanced focus.
Have a reflexology session with a professional and discover how profoundly pleasurable, relaxing and nurturing reflexology is—an uplifting experience for both giver and receiver. Reflexology can be a very fulfilling career, and is a great addition to an existing health practice. Massage therapists, facial specialists, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, nail techs, acupuncturists, chiropractors and others take reflexology classes and add value to their practices. And anyone (no prior knowledge required) can take our classes as a wonderful way to help yourself, family and friends. Take the opportunity this New Year to focus on the positive, treat everyone with kindness and respect and pursue your passion. The world is a better place when you let you own light shine.

he NEWLIFE Expo is America’s longest-running event focused on holistic enlightenment and rejuvenation, and its organizer, Mark Becker, says he’s grateful for the continued success and growth of what he started 29 years ago. “Join Us on Feb 2-3 with over 60 exhibitors and speakers to enlighten your mind, nourish your body and soothe your soul with lectures, exhibits, panels, workshops, yoga and chi gung classes, healthy dining and exquisite people like yourself. “Last year I was happy not only to deliver an awesome NEWLIFE Expo in Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. Now for the first time we are putting the NEWLIFE EXPO on in Boca Raton at the Doubletree Hilton Deerfield/Boca Hotel which is one block off of exit 42B on I-95. I chose this location for many reasons. Boca is exactly midway (less than 25 minutes) between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale so that my attendees from both of my past expos can easily attend. Also my Miami attendees were complaining so now being right off I-95 it is also convenient for them. Since all of my successful expos in NYC are in hotels that is why I finally chose the warmth of a hotel in Boca from the coldness of the Convention Centers of the past expos. Also the Convention Centers forced us to have their food where now I can have vendors providing you with healthy scrumptious food. All in all this is going to be the most awesome, successful, informative NEWLIFE EXPO that Florida has ever seen. “There’s an old saying that we are what we eat. For nourishing our body, Dr. Brian Clement, Dr. Joel Wallach, Roland Thomas and others will be doing just that. Mark says, “NEWLIFE is also aware that in order to nourish our body we have to nourish our mind and open our mind to all possibilities. We are in a world that is constantly evolving and NEWLIFERS are aware that we have to grow with it.” For the first time in NEWLIFE, Americas #1 Astrologer Susan Miller is with us to show us how the stars and planets really do affect our planet and ourselves and her predictions for 2019 are mind blowing. And Tracey Ash will show you genuine footage of real UFOs to not only prove that we are not alone but that ascension is part of our own evolution. Even if it is just to find your soulmate put Feb 2-3 on your calendar for a weekend tat will change your life. For info visit us at www.NewLifeExpo.com

Audubon Everglades
January 2019 Programs, Conservation Training & Events Monthly MEETING and LECTURE: “Waterbird Entanglement Prevention” by Sandy Reed, Tampa Audubon January 8 (Second Tuesday), 7:00 p.m. meeting & lecture. Light refreshments at 6:30. Rooms 101 and 102 at FAU Pine Jog Environmental Education Center, 6301 Summit Blvd, (near Jog Road) in West Palm Beach. Meeting is free and open to the public. PROGRAM Sandy Reed tells us that, during a birding trip to view Razorbills at the Sunshine Skyway Pier in the winter of 2012, she had a stunning revelation. It was there she first witnessed Brown Pelicans entangled in fishing line, something impossible to ignore. At the suggestion of Ann Paul, Audubon Florida, Coastal Island Sanctuaries, Sandy initiated the Bird Protection Committee as a collaborative effort of individuals and organizations to brainstorm means to reduce injuries and mortality to birds from fishing line. According to FWC, entanglement in fishing line is the leading cause of death for Brown Pelicans. Some of the answers are amazingly simple and effective, similar to pulling a thread on a sweater. A quote of John Muir describes Sandy’s Pelican journey well, “When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” About the Speaker: Birds have always been admired by and amazed Sandy, but she became more “all in” upon her retirement in 2009. Sandy has been a member of Tampa Audubon for 10 years and served as VP for 6 years; she has been the Bird Protection Committee Chair since its inception. She is an avid Backyard Birder and leads an 8-week OLLI class called “Natural Hillsborough.” She loves to awaken people to the beautiful birds of Florida hiding in plain sight, right under our noses! Also, at the meeting, our expert, Clive Pinnock, will speak about the January Bird of the Month, the Northern Mockingbird. www.auduboneverglades.org

udubon Everglades announces its third annual Conservation Stewardship Training Course, open to the public. The first two Conservation Stewardship Courses trained 60 stewards – Palm Beach County citizens, environmental professionals, nature enthusiasts, environmental advocates, and college students. These stewards now spearhead environmental initiatives in their communities and volunteer with non-profit agencies, federal wildlife refuges, state parks, and PBC natural areas and communicate with the media and elected officials. The seven-week Conservation Stewardship Training Course, in partnership with the PBC UF/IFAS Extension, is an exciting educational opportunity in which 15 expert instructors engage participants in learning how five different fragile Florida habitats and the Greater Everglades sustain plants, birds and wildlife, cope with invasive flora and fauna, manage species of concern, and adapt to growth and climate change. Stewards will be guided to develop a personal plan of action that will empower them to aid and advocate for their environment. The syllabus is available at www.auduboneverglades.org/conservation/conservation-stewardship-training-course/ The course is limited to 30 participants and runs on consecutive Mondays, from February 4 to March 18, 2019, from 9:00am to 1:30pm. Course Fee: $98.00 includes seven catered lunches. Registration deadline: January 31. To register go to Eventbrite.com.

The scholarship application is on the Eventbrite page. Special Marine Debris Symposium March 25, 9am to 1pm: The Monday after the course ends, Audubon Everglades will sponsor a Marine Debris Symposium on the problems of plastics debris for birds and marine life and what we, citizens, can do to help. All Stewards, as well as anyone on the waiting list, will be invited to attend.

Finding Freedom from Emotional Eating
S
tress and a hectic lifestyle can affect our eating patterns and food choices. The stress hormone cortisol increases appetite and may ramp up the motivation to eat. This can make you crave “bad” carbohydrates which will give you an energy boost followed by a crash. This will leave you hungry for more foods like sweets and fatty, salty foods. This vicious cycle can lead to mindlessly overeating and eating when you are not even hungry. Try these suggestions to break the stress eating cycle: Break the cycle, don’t feed emotions with junk food. High-carb, high-fat foods trigger the brain’s feel good response, so over time we start to rely on these foods to find emotional relief. Unfortunately, the long-term result of this habit of eating leads to more emotional distress and chronic health issues. It may be time to replace your current eating rituals. If a certain time of day or certain emotions such as overwhelm, sadness, frustration or boredom trigger food cravings, try to replace that automatic response with something else. Practice deep breathing, enjoy a cup of green or herbal tea, or recharge your body with a brisk walk or some relaxing stretches. Take a pause and become mindful of your true needs. Automatic urges will subside when you take a minute to focus on your true desires. Take a breath and focus on your future. If your true goal is peace, a smaller waist, a healthy heart, or just looking and feeling your best everyday… what is a better choice to get you there? Find ways to relieve stress and balance your emotions without overeating. The practice of meditation reduces stress and helps you become more aware of everything you do. The practice can be as simple as taking just a few minutes each day to sit comfortably, tune into your breath, and let tension go with each exhalation. When you notice your mind wandering just return to your breath. Through mindfulness practices such as meditation we become more aware of internal messages and listening to our body. We can then understand when we are truly hungry and the foods that will nourish our body rather than eating on autopilot or because we feel anxious, sad, lonely or bored. Exercise is meditation in motion. Regular exercise can reduce depression and anxiety,

increase self-confidence, and relax you. Even one session of exercise can improve your mood. Consider adding yoga or tai chi which directly combines the elements of exercise and meditation. Make sure you are getting adequate sleep. Aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Lack of sleep affects appetite regulation and increases stress on your mind and body. Allow time to unwind before bed with a bedtime ritual that could include things such as reading a good novel, relaxing with a cup of chamomile tea, or enjoying a lavender and Epsom salt bath or foot soak. Through practicing mindfulness, we will have improved health and sleep. Mindfulness is about calmly accepting the present moment, and it leads to a state of balance. It means maintaining a moment by moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and our surrounding environment through a gentle, nurturing lens. Nourish your body with whole foods. Consume adequate amounts of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates during each meal and snack. This ensures you stay satiated and balances blood sugar levels. Generally, this means choosing whole foods such as nuts, whole grains, raw vegetables and fruits. Avoid foods that are packaged, high in sugar, or fried. One of the fastest ways to calm unhealthy food cravings is by eating protein. Protein helps curb your hunger longer and won’t give you the crash that sweetened and refined foods do. Find new comfort foods. Do not stock your kitchen with your favorite indulgence foods, the unhealthy foods you crave in times of stress. Discover healthier versions of the foods you crave and keep them on hand. If
you have a craving for soda, replace this with fruit-infused mineral water. If you crave cookies or ice cream replace this with berries and cream or an apple with nut butter. Your taste buds will adapt, and these new comfort foods will leave you feeling satisfied and energized.

Daily Walks Make Kids Healthier Thanks to a program called The Daily Mile, Scottish schoolchildren have shown improvements in their fitness and body composition, researchers from the universities of Edinburgh and Sterling report. Started by a teacher in 2012, the initiative encourages children to run, jog or walk around their school grounds during a 15-minute recess from classes in addition to normal activity and physical education lessons. For the study, 391 pupils between 4 and 12 years old wore accelerometers to record their activity and were checked for body fat and overall fitness. Compared to a control group, they increased their physical activity by 9.1 minutes a day, lowered sedentary time by 18.2 minutes, ran 42 yards farther and

Women that feel highly stressed on a daily basis have a lower ability to conceive, report Boston University School of Medicine researchers. In a study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, 4,769 couples that were trying to conceive were followed for a year. Those women with the highest self-reported stress were 13 percent less likely to conceive than women that reported little stress. Men being under high stress had no effect on conception, but couples were a quarter less likely to conceive if the man’s stress score was low and the woman’s was high, which the researchers termed “partner stress discordance.” In North America, about one out of four women and one out of five men of reproductive age report daily psychological stress.
Nettle, a common roadside weed, may offer hope for sufferers of inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. Research from Iran’s University of Medical Sciences tested 59 patients with inflammatory bowel disease in a 12-week, double-blind clinical trial with an extract of nettle leaf (Urtica dioica). Those receiving the nettle leaf extract had lower blood levels of the C-reactive protein inflammatory marker along with a significant improvement in their inflammatory bowel disease quality-of-life scores.

significantly lowered their body fat. “[The study] suggests that The Daily Mile is a worthwhile intervention to introduce in schools, and that it should be considered for inclusion in government policy, both at home and abroad,” says study author Colin Moran, Ph.D. To date, the Scottish Government has extended it to half of the country’s primary schools, plus nurseries, colleges, universities and businesses. The Daily Mile Foundation reports that 3,600 schools in 35 countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, Germany, Ireland, Jamaica, the Netherlands and the U.S., have embraced the program.

The risk of late-stage, age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness worldwide, can be lowered by 41 percent by eating a Mediterranean diet, according to a new study presented by the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO). The research, which followed nearly 4,500 French and Dutch adults aged 55 and older for 21 years, found that no single food component lowered the risk; rather, it was the nutrient-rich diet itself. The findings correlate with previous research that links the Mediterranean diet, typically rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes, fish and olive oil, to a longer lifespan and a lower risk of heart disease and cognitive decline. “You are what you eat,” says AAO spokesperson Emily Chew, M.D. “It’s time to take quitting a poor diet as seriously as quitting smoking.”
Artificial Sweeteners Harm Gut Microbes Six popular artificial sweeteners approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration—aspartame, sucralose, neotame, saccharine, advantame and acesulfame potassium-k—were found to be toxic to digestive gut microbes in a new paper published in Molecules. Researchers at Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University tested each sweetener along with 10 sports drinks that contained them. They discovered that otherwise healthy bacteria found in the digestive system became toxic when they came into contact with even one mg/ml (less than one-hundredth of a teaspoon) of the artificial sweeteners.

Monstrous Morass Great Pacific Garbage Patch Out of Control
In the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and California, the 80,000-ton Great Pacific Garbage Patch is growing. Encompassing 600,000 square miles, the world’s largest such dump is twice the size of Texas, according to a three-year mapping effort by eight organizations. “To solve a problem, we need to understand it first,” says Boyan Slat, CEO of Dutch-based nonprofit The Ocean Cleanup. “The bad part is that there is more [there] than what we thought. The good part is that most of the plastic is still large objects. Just 8 percent of the plastic is micro plastic. It’s not too late to do something about it.” Fishing gear comprises an estimated half of the debris. The Ocean Cleanup intends to capture, concentrate and ship the materials from the patch back to land.
Rare Breed
Exmoor Ponies Beat the Odds
The Exmoor pony, which inhabits an area bordered by Devon and Somerset counties in England, is currently listed as endangered by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. It’s believed that these ponies derive from the original prehistoric horse that made the trek from Alaska to Great Britain some 130,000 years ago. Today, about 150 Exmoor ponies roam free on the moor and many more are being reared on farms in other parts of the UK. The Exmoor ponies benefit the environment, attract visitors and increase awareness of environmental conservation.

Vegan Beer Hall Highlights Plant-Based Food
People relying on plant-based diets can find it challenging to honor their philosophies when enjoying a night out in a beer hall. But in Quincy, Massachusetts, the tavern Rewild is giving hope to those that want to get a little buzzed and still trust the menu. Owner Pat McAuley is working with chef Will Hernandez to offer vegan food at affordable prices. McAuley says, “There’s no other place in Massachusetts that you can go have a few beers, hang out with friends and eat plant-based food. My primary goal of the whole project is to just bring plantbased food in a social and fun way.”
Poor Packaging
One million plastic bottles are sold around the world each minute. Most are used for bottled water, and most end up in the trash. As demand grows, especially in China, so does the bottle problem. According to environmental watchdog Euromonitor, if the present rate of consumption is not reduced, humans will use an estimated half a trillion plastic bottles a year by 2021. The French mineral water brand Evian is part of the problem, but is working on a plan to address it through a new approach. The company plans to use 100 percent recycled plastic by 2025 and to partner with a nonprofit focused on collecting ocean plastic.

Presumed Extinct Dog Species Rediscovered
After thinking the New Guinea highland wild dog had gone extinct in its native habitat, researchers have now confirmed the existence of a healthy, viable population, hidden on the island in one of the most remote and inhospitable regions on Earth. According to DNA analysis, these are the most ancient and primitive canids (dogs) in existence. “The discovery and confirmation of the highland wild dog for the first time in over half a century is not only exciting, but an incredible opportunity for science,” says the group behind the discovery, the New Guinea Highland Wild Dog Foundation.

Baltimore is spending $15 million to deploy 4,000 sensorequipped trash receptacles that signal when they need emptying to increase collection efficiency. “The cans come with Wi-Fi; we will utilize this capability to allow the can to transmit information, including how full it is, so we can offer as-needed servicing of the cans,” says Jeffrey Raymond, with the Baltimore Department of Public Works. The solarpowered trash receptacles are manufactured by Ecube Labs, with offices in Los Angeles and South Korea. The company is installing its CleanCUBE bins across Baltimore in three stages, starting with 150 units in the South Baltimore gateway/casino area.

Cork Rocks
The Self-Regenerating Building Material
Cork is both recyclable and renewable because it regenerates its bark after harvesting, which causes no harm to trees. Durable cork can be found in the flooring of the Library of Congress and as an insulator for space shuttles. It’s also a waterproof, abrasionresistant fire retardant and acoustic insulator with odor and humidity-controlling and acoustic sounddampening applications. In Portugal, the world’s largest producer, the outer skin regrows in time for the next harvest. The stripped trees absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide and release more oxygen, so Portugal’s cork forests, or montados, are often referred to as the “lungs” of the environment.
3-D Domiciles
High-Tech Instant Homes on Horizon
A 3-D printed home can be built in less than 24 hours at a cost of $10,000. Developers hope to cut it to $4,000 to help families living in poverty or other unsafe conditions. New Story, a housing charity organization, and ICON, a construction tech company, have partnered to try ending global homelessness. Being able to lock the door and have a safe shelter can be elusive. An entire community of printed homes is planned for construction in El Salvador. The 650-square-foot, proof-of-concept prototype—containing a living room, small office, one bedroom and one bathroom—was built in Austin, Texas. Human workers installed the windows, doors, plumbing and electrical systems. ICON staff will use the home as an office to test its durability.
Fire Hounds
Dogs Help Restore Burnt Forests in Chile
Forest fires in Chile ravaged vast swathes of land in 2017, burning sturdy older trees in the El Maule region. Since then, three border collies belonging to Francisca Torres, a member of the environmental nonprofit Pewos, have been wandering through the charred remains with special satchels that spray seeds as they run to sow seedlings, grass and flowers. A major goal is for animals that fled the fires to return. “The main thing is for the fauna to be able to live,” says Torres. She says the dogs, bred to herd sheep, are smart and fast, covering a much larger area than a human could on foot. January 2019

A new feature-length documentary, Secret Ingredients, makes a compelling case for why organic foods may be the key to unlocking better health and reversing chronic illnesses ranging from asthma to autism. The film shares the uplifting stories of individuals and families that overcame their struggles with digestive problems, allergies, skin conditions and infertility after eliminating genetically modified (GMO) crops and agricultural toxins from their diets. “This gives tremendous hope for those suffering from chronic disorders in that simply switching to an organic diet may improve their quality of life,” says Jeffrey Smith, who produced and co-directed the film with award-winning filmmaker Amy Hart. “We hope the film will create an organized tsunami driving millions of people to better living through healthy eating.” Secret Ingredients includes testimonies from physicians and scientists that explain how GMOs, Monsanto’s ubiquitous Roundup herbicide and other pesticides can disrupt our biological systems and compromise our health. “More than 200 studies show the links between GMOs and poor health,” says Smith, “while Roundup and other toxic applications have been proven to damage mitochondria, disrupt the gut biome, throw off hormones, and promote tumors and birth defects.” The film builds on the groundbreaking research that went into Smith’s prior feature-length documentary Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of Our Lives, which looked at genetically engineered foods as a major contributor to rising disease rates in the U.S.

Ways to Improve Indoor Air Quality For much of the country, winter means spending more time indoors—and exposed to potential toxins. Indoor air quality is critically important to children, the elderly and people with respiratory problems that may be especially sensitive to pollutants, according to WebMD.com. Recognizing and avoiding some of the most common sources of toxins in the home can safeguard everyone’s health year-round and notably now, at the height of the season when humans tend to hibernate in their warm abodes. n The Environmental Working Group warns about volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can be found in many household products from new carpets and furniture to paints and air fresheners. These airborne toxins can irritate eyes and respiratory systems, and increase the risk of cancer and liver, kidney and central nervous system damage. Look for low- and zero-VOC products; buy solid wood, hardwood or exterior-grade plywood and antique furniture. Open the windows once in a while as a natural, refreshing way to ventilate. n How, when and how often we vacuum is also important. The Indoor Air Quality Association (iaqa.org) recommends a slow and steady motion “to keep dust from flying up into the air.” They also suggest pet owners should vacuum every two days. When choosing a vacuum cleaner, go with a model that includes a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to pick up microscopic particles a regular vacuum cannot remove. n The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends using and properly maintaining home ventilation systems, including exhaust fans, air conditioning and heating units; preventing mold by controlling moisture and humidity, including checking pipes and window sills for condensation; and keeping the home smoke-free, because burning cigarettes release at least 69 chemicals that can cause cancer. n Place a large floor mat just inside each outside door, suggests WebMD.com, as people track in many chemicals—especially from pesticides and other pollutants—via the dirt on their shoes, which also can be removed before entering.

Silver Thread and Golden Opportunities
By 1999, it was clear that Americans had a voracious appetite for well-researched, practical information about the latest natural approaches to nutrition, fitness, personal growth and sustainable living. The Natural Awakenings franchise was born that year, conceived as a local magazine in many different communities—now 74 markets in the U.S.—anchored by a national editorial team that explores and anticipates the latest trends in mind, body and spirit. Readership of the print magazines is 2.8-million strong, plus a broad online and digital reach. Bruckman’s holistic-minded passion for health, wellness and integrative therapies has awakened in like-minded entrepreneurs a desire to embrace her mission. As Paul Chen, publisher of the Atlanta franchise puts it: “Awakenings of the heart speak to our desire for deeper and stronger personal relationships. Awakenings of the mind speak to our desire to learn more, faster, and optimize our mental capacities. Awakenings of the soul speak to our desire to develop greater love and compassion for all living beings equally and an increasing understanding of and connection with whatever it is we believe lies beyond our small, individual human selves.” The magazine, in turn, has awakened its readers to new ways of connecting both with their communities and each other. Natural Awakenings has become a go-to guide for local community events, products and practitioners in all of its markets. “We love to spread light,” says Bruckman. “Natural Awakenings has played a significant role in fueling the wellness revolution I saw emerging all those years ago, propelled by the kindred spirits who read, advertise and contribute to our magazines. Our publishers are

torchbearers aligned with the vision of a healthier world and the mission to facilitate that transformation.” During a lifetime of holistic-minded entrepreneurship, Bruckman, a constant gardener, continues to personally tend each new crop of ideas that germinate on the pages of her magazines which bear the imprint, “Healthy Living, Healthy Planet.” By identifying and responding to a simple need in one community, she has tapped into a universal spirit that exceeded her wildest expectations. “If you have the heart, vision and enthusiasm to help make the world a better place, a greater force just might step in to enable success beyond anything you imagined. The real ‘natural awakening’ is about each of us waking up to who we truly are and the kind of world we can create together.” We can’t always be shaded by the trees that we grow, yet after 25 years, the seeds Bruckman planted have branched across a nation and borne fruit that will make a difference in countless lives for many years to come. It is my honor to join her on this journey as Natural Awakenings celebrates its silver anniversary.

ith the merry-making furor of the holidays behind us, it’s that time of year when our bodies are crying out for some detox and rejuvenation. Aside from getting back to the basics—a healthy diet and daily exercise— we can take a page from traditional Chinese and Indian medical practices and holistic approaches and use natural, organ-by-organ procedures to renew our bodies and restore inherent vitality. “Strengthening our organs is critical because the organs create the vital essences of life, and our emotional and mental health depends to a great extent on how healthy our organs are,” notes T. Caylor Wadlington, a doctor of Oriental medicine and acupuncture teacher in Denver. “In working to revitalize and re-energize the organs, we renew not just our physical body, but also our sense of well-being.” Here’s a guide to a gentle fix-up campaign for the five organs considered vital for life in both Western and Eastern medicine: 30

Boost the Brain
“Stress can lead to imbalance of the brain’s neurotransmitters, making it more difficult to focus, concentrate, relax and sleep—but it’s reversible, and the brain can absolutely heal from these effects under the right circumstances,” says integrative neurologist Ilene S. Ruhoy, M.D., Ph.D., of the Center for Healing Neurology, in Seattle.
Assess it: If you find it hard concentrat-
ing, sleeping, getting things done, remembering where things are and not being grouchy, the brain could be on stress-related overload. See a doctor if teeth grinding, high blood pressure, shortness of breath, fainting or dizziness develop.

Try this movement: Shake it. Alternating slow movements, or even rest with one-to-two-minute bursts of intense, all-out, heart-pounding moves like Zumba dancing, jogging or lunges increases important proteins called the neurotrophic factor that help brain cells grow, work and live longer, reports a new study from Canada’s McMaster University.
Rejuvenate the Heart
Stress also increases hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which drive up blood pressure, blood sugar and inflammation, says holistic cardiologist Joel Kahn, M.D., of Detroit, author of The Whole Heart Solution: Halt Heart Disease Now with the Best Alternative and Traditional Medicine.
Assess it: Shortness of breath, irregular
heartbeat, anxiety, panic and swollen feet or ankles are signs the heart may be overloaded. Get medical help immediately if there is unusual deep exhaustion, unexplained weakness, nausea, dizziness, chest pain or pain that spreads to the arms.
Eat this: “The best foods for a stressed
heart are those rich in magnesium. I like a giant green, leafy salad, often organic arugula, with blueberries, pumpkin seeds and walnuts,” says Kahn.

Detox the Kidneys The kidneys are hardworking, fist-sized organs just below the back rib cage that filter waste and toxins out of 200 quarts of blood a day.
Assess it: Fatigue, feeling cold, shortness of breath, itchiness, swollen hands or feet, a puffy face, metallic-tasting food and ammonia-smelling breath are signs of growing kidney stress. See a doctor if experiencing kidney pain, weakness, lightheadedness, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, extreme thirst or decreased urination.

Shore up the Liver “The liver is critical for detoxifying the body, but higher sugar and alcohol consumption over the holidays, as well as more stress, can increase toxin buildup that can damage the liver, which is why it’s important to take steps to help it recover,” says functional chiropractor Jennifer R. Welch, DC, of Iowa Functional Health, in Clive, Iowa.

Head, Heart and Gut
ECO-FRIENDLY SALON
Lodestars of Powerful Decision Making
W
by Lee Milteer
e are living in unprecedented times of stress, confusion and overwhelm. We all need resources to help navigate these challenging times and make the right decisions for the highest and best long-term good for ourselves, our families and our businesses. Those resources can be found within each of us if we pause to consider three reliable indicators: the head (intellect), the heart (feelings) and the gut (intuition). Before proceeding in making an important choice, make a habit of checking these builtin sensors, which can warn us about danger or give us the go-ahead.
Head: Make use of intellect and past
knowledge. All decisions, actions and even non-actions have repercussions. Use the conscious mind to discern questions that need to be answered. For example, is this person telling the truth? What has worked in the past? Have we done our due diligence and homework before making a decision?
Heart: I listen to my heart and ask: Is this
the right direction for me? Do I naturally feel attracted to this? Am I hearing truth? The internal part of us, the voice inside, tells us when things feel right or wrong. For example, are we relaxed around the person we are asking the question about, or do we
feel uptight and uncomfortable? Keep in mind that our bodies do talk to us. For me personally, if I feel shut down, tight and not good, I know something is not right. However, if I feel open, lighthearted and relaxed, I trust that my heart is telling me that, “All is well.” We have to pay attention to our own internal signals.
Gut: We need to trust our intuition. If it
doesn’t feel right, chances are it’s not right for us. What may be right for one person can be wrong for another. Our gut instinct, our inner voice, is always there for us when we take the time to pay attention and listen. Become conscious, and do not go into the default mode of past decisions or behaviors. Life has changed and requires more awareness of what is truth and what is not, and we need to utilize our senses, not the old programmed beliefs from others. It is our job to use the instincts that we have to help navigate new terrain.

BLOOD CHEMISTRY A New Roadmap to Better Health
G
by Linda Sechrist
ood detectives trained in the art of investigation know not only how to look for, collect and interpret evidence, but also how to use the tools that can help them solve a mystery. With the right tool, such as a comprehensive functional blood chemistry analysis, an experienced practitioner trained in systems biology examines the body’s metabolic blueprint, unravelling the enigma of declining health hijacked by chronic disease. Holistic health practitioners like Kristin Grayce McGary, of Boulder, Colorado, use these skills to provide clients with sound recommendations, screen for health issues and monitor changes as needed. “This kind of sleuthing is what sets us apart,” says McGary.

The results of a blood test are essential to understanding anyone’s current state of health. No other screenings are more efficient and effective than the comprehensive blood chemistry panels used by functional medicine and holistic health practitioners to establish a baseline of biomarkers for tracking an individual’s health and nutritional needs. In the field of blood chemistry analysis, there are two main types of reference ranges—pathological and functional. The pathological range is used by the majority
napalmbeach.com
of conventionally trained medical doctors that are focused on diagnosing disease. The functional range is used to assess risk for disease before it develops, says McGary. “It is critical that you find a holistic and intelligent doctor skilled in functional medicine,” says Boulder-based Suzy Cohen, a registered pharmacist and author of Drug Muggers: Which Medications Are Robbing Your Body of Essential Nutrients—and Natural Ways to Restore Them. “Working with a functional medicine practitioner, as well as a local trusted pharmacist who has access to your medication regimen and sensitivities, is the safest way to regain health.” It also saves money, because choosing the best supplements, herbal extracts, essential oils, dietary changes and other non-pharmaceutical healing modalities allows for healing faster, she says. Conventional practitioners, constrained by insurance company requirements, generally order simple blood panels with basic markers for heart, kidney and liver function. These might include reference ranges for hemoglobin, platelets, glucose, calcium and electrolytes. “The baseline lab panel that I prefer for patients has 68 markers, plus a urinalysis. This means that I get five or six full pages of results, which gives me a more in-depth insight into someone’s health,” McGary says.
Oksana Shufrych/Shutterstock.com
A Better Roadmap to Health McGary considers the most important differences between the interpretation of functional and conventional markers to be the statistically compiled range of values that functional practitioners consider normal and the interconnections taken into consideration during the comprehensive analysis. “Conventional reference ranges are compiled by laboratories from a huge population of people, many of whom had their blood analyzed because they were already sick. Functional reference ranges are compiled from a much smaller population of healthy people whose bodies are functioning optimally,” she says. If a marker falls inside the tighter functional range, it’s a green flag that compares favorably with healthy individuals. If a marker falls outside the wider conventional range, it’s a red flag that correlates to sick people. The marker that falls in-between is a yellow flag. “Functional practitioners are looking for yellow flags, which are the early warning signs that no one sees or feels yet as symptoms,” explains McGary, who spends more than two hours reviewing the blood analyses with clients. “We’re not only about prevention and achieving vibrant health—which we do by helping clients choose the best supplements to correct deficiencies—we’re also about helping individuals get to the root cause of their health challenge so that they can enjoy life.” Functional blood chemistry analysis is not generally covered by health insurance, and can cost between $180 and $2,500, depending on the complexity of the panel, the number of markers ordered and the time spent by a practitioner in consultation and interpretation of results. However, the out-of-pocket cost may be worth it, says Cohen. “In health, sometimes you get what you pay for. You don’t want to be somebody’s number and pushed out the door,” she says. “It’s important to feel like you have been listened to and that your entire medical history has been fully evaluated.” Linda Sechrist is a senior staff writer for Natural Awakenings.

nyone that has struggled to lose weight, eat right or deal with an eating disorder is familiar with the emotional battle that can evolve from the simple act of seeking sustenance. “The black-and-white mentality of needing to be perfect or counting calories leads us into a rabbit hole of bingeing, dieting and stuck in a love/hate relationship with food,” says Carly Pollack, whose new book, Feed Your Soul: Nutritional Wisdom to Lose Weight Permanently and Live Fulfilled, comes out next month. “We live in a society that is obsessed with mainstream media and celebrity culture,” says Pollack. “Poor body image and an unhealthy relationship with food are synonymous. You can’t have one without the other.” Enter the psychology of eating, a movement built upon a mindset that reshapes our relationship to food, focusing on emotions, beliefs and physiological responses. These insights, grounded in research, offer empowering, new perspectives.

highlights research on the food/mind connection in his book The Slow Down Diet: Eating for Pleasure, Energy, and Weight Loss, says our thoughts about what is on our plates have even more impact on our physiological responses than vitamins or minerals. Guilt about consuming certain foods can slow digestion and increase chemical responses that store fat, while enjoying the same foods without stress can boost metabolism and nutritional absorption. “The most important aspect of creating and maintaining a healthy relationship with food is to bring awareness to our thoughts and behaviors around food,” says Pollack, founder of Nutritional Wisdom, a holistic practice based in Austin. Simplicity, eating real food and unraveling perceptions are paramount. “With all of the information overload out there, ‘eating right’ has turned into ‘eating perfectly,’” Pollack says. “I believe our plate is a reflection of our inner state.”

In fact, according to Marc David’s Institute for the Psychology of Eating, 40 percent of binge eaters are male. “Women’s food issues spring from the cultural pressure to prioritize their appearance over their wisdom, while men may turn to food to deal with career pressure,” says Harriet Morris, who hosts The Eating Coach podcast in Shropshire, England. “I’ve found, too, that both men and women use food as a way to avoid dealing with issues around sexuality, but their needs are very distinct.” Because a man’s sense of self is much more linked to his sexuality, food can be used to avoid dealing with aspects of male sexuality he is uncomfortable with, says Morris. “Work with my male clients is about avoiding perfectionism and opting instead for a powerful kind of ‘imperfectionism’ where strength allows for pleasure. This—not a Marvel superhero—is a real man.” Regardless of gender, changing perspective is key, adds Morris. “Our problem is not food. Bulimia, excess weight, IBS [irritable bowel syndrome] and a whole host of other issues are teachers, not enemies. We have, for very good reasons, been using food as a life manager,” she says. In the end, nourishing ourselves on all levels is what it’s all about, says Pollack. “Our relationship with food gives us the opportunity to examine our relationship to ourselves, our sense of worth, who we think we are, what we feel we deserve and how we show up day-to-day in this body for this beautiful life we’ve been given.”
Advice From Our Experts Carly Pollack: 4 Create guidelines for how you intend to achieve health and happiness. Gather tools that will help you stay focused (nightly journaling, daily visualization, keeping a food log, creating accountability with friends and family). 4 Remember that our mistakes are opportunities to see more clearly what needs to be healed. We’ll make mistakes; old patterns will pop up when we least expect them to that’ll remind us that this life is a practice, not a perfect. 4 Take a nightly inventory by answering three questions: What did I do today that was great regarding my relationship with food? How can I improve? What will I do tomorrow to put this improvement into action?
Harriet Morris: 4 Allow for pleasure. We are wired to seek pleasure, because on an evolutionary level, the things that helped us survive made us feel good—and food is one of them. There are ways to find healthy alternatives that satisfy our pleasure-seeking center without the huge price tag. 4 Slow down when you eat. You will feel satisfied sooner and eat less. 4 We might look at how compulsive eating is actually a misguided attempt to deal with other issues. Let’s ask, “How can we put food out of that job?”

Adding simple body weight movements to everyday chores and tasks can also have a positive effect.

Bring on the Joy Opting for activities that are fun and interesting is a surefire way to create a healthier lifestyle. Dancing, for instance, can offer a wide range of benefits, especially for older individuals. That’s why dance is now a significant component in many programs designed to treat depression, addiction and eating disorders. “We’re never too old, too young, too inflexible, too busy, too anything to dance. The hardest part is just walking into the studio,” says Kat Wildish, a renowned former ballerina and master teacher in New York City. For those older than 50, dance offers many advantages. “Dance gives us positive stimulus in both physical movement and the mental connection in a non-competitive environment. It has an immediate inverse effect to cortisol and raises serotonin,” says Wildish. “With proper alignment and joint care in mind, dance helps to combat the physical effects of aging such as arthritis, osteoporosis ...” Researchers at the University of Miami’s Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine found that all types of exercise have been shown to improve thinking processes in older adults. Results of their study, published in Neurology: Clinical Practice, suggest that yoga, aerobic exercise and strength training yield the most significant results over an extended period. Yet, moving the body regularly and consistently in everyday endeavors is an excellent starting point that can be richly rewarding. “Individuals can start to make quick and lasting changes to their overall health. Start by picking small changes,” says Hyatt. Wildish agrees that making the decision to begin and keeping it fun is paramount. “Do what you can and stick with it when you find something that brings you joy, even when it’s challenging.” Marlaina Donato is the author of several books, including Multidimensional Aromatherapy.

Seeking Sanctuary How to Reduce Electromagnetic Radiation at Home by Emily Courtney
Set your goals high and don’t stop till you get there. ~Bo Jackson

Palm Beach Edition
A
mericans are attached to their gadgets, and the tech industry is all too happy to deliver the latest innovations to consumers that clamor for convenience, connection and unlimited mobility. Meanwhile, telecom companies are busy installing fifth-generation (5G) infrastructure designed to take the nation’s communications revolution to a new level. We love our smartphones and smart homes, and especially the relatively newfound freedom from wires and plugs that once tethered us to our electronics. But concerns about the price to be paid in increased health risks from electromagnetic fields (EMFs) generated by those devices has surged with the proliferation of silent, invisible waves of radiation that permeate every facet of modern life. “The main health concerns include the breaking of DNA [bonds], leaks in the blood-brain barrier and loss of calcium from cellular membranes,” says Ann Louise Gittleman, of Post Falls, Idaho, author of Zapped: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn’t Be
napalmbeach.com
Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution. EMFs have cumulative and sometimes imperceptible biological effects, Gittleman notes—especially on the brain, heart, skin, lungs and central nervous system. The World Health Organization has classified radiofrequency radiation (RF), a high-frequency EMF associated with many types of wireless technologies, as a Group 2B carcinogen. Radio, television, GPS and cell towers all emit RF, which has become the eye of a gathering storm regarding 5G as companies prepare to install millions of transmitters on lampposts and utility poles, along with standalone antennas nationwide, sending unprecedented levels of EMF into communities and neighborhoods. “5G is especially hazardous, since the transmitters are placed closer to the populations served,” says Samuel Milham, M.D., MPH, an Olympia, Washington, epidemiologist and author of Dirty Electricity: Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization.
elenabsl/Shutterstock.com
Create a Safer Haven
With electromagnetic radiation blanketing the atmosphere from coast to coast, our homes may offer the only sanctuary from this particular form of pollution—providing we take some low-tech, commonsense steps to minimize household exposure to the health risk.
Find Some Distance
EMFs decrease with distance, so the farther away, the better. Switch to a battery-operated alarm clock, ditch the electric blanket, move the bed away from power outlets and keep wireless baby monitors six feet from beds.
Unplug Each Night
Disable Wi-Fi routers and remove all digital appliances and gadgets to make the bedroom a healing haven, says Gittleman.
Identify Overlooked Sources
“Almost all the homes I walk into have printers with wireless turned on, transmitting frequencies in the thousands of microwatts per square meter,” says EMF expert Risa Suzuki, a certified building biology environmental consultant in Seattle. “Wireless boosters also constantly transmit radio frequency.” Other overlooked household EMF sources include smart meters and household appliances both large and small, including hair dryers, electric shavers and cordless phones.
Change Wireless Habits
Cell phones are prolific EMF producers, so if disconnecting isn’t an option, use a speakerphone or an air tube headset, similar to a doctor’s stethoscope, whenever possible, Gittleman advises in Zapped. Never carry the phone against the body when it’s turned on. For computers and tablets, switch to wired internet and turn on Wi-Fi only when necessary. Opt for a wired mouse, keyboard and other plugged-in accessories.
Shield With Caution
Although there are a variety of EMF-shielding products, experts warn against relying solely on them. “EMFs can bounce and deflect off surfaces, and materials have a certain threshold of what they can shield against,” says Suzuki. Do some research, ask questions and consult with an expert before making a purchase. “It’s easy to get overwhelmed when learning about EMFs, and many people feel totally helpless,” says Suzuki. “But there are lots of solutions for reducing your exposure without ditching every electronic [device] in your house. If you’re willing to take action, then you can absolutely make a positive impact on your health.”
Healthy Home, Healthy Body Combat EMFs
M
odifying the use of electronics is just one piece of the puzzle in reducing the health impact of EMFs. Other healthy habits include:
Going green. Certain plants that absorb radiation and other
indoor air pollution can be great additions to a healthy home environment. The betel leaf plant, stone lotus flower, spider plant, snake plant and cactus are all good options for helping to clean the air.
Fortifying health. A strong, nourished body provides
greater protection from many health challenges, including EMF exposure. Ann Louise Gittleman suggests consuming superfoods, minerals and supplements that bolster health, such as artichokes, blueberries, rosemary, turmeric, melatonin, whey protein powder and milk thistle.
Earthing. Physically connecting with the earth enables a
transfer of electrons into the body, which helps to neutralize the free radicals that build up from EMF exposure. “Go out in nature as much as possible to discharge energies,” says Gittleman. The easiest way to practice earthing is walking barefoot outside.
Accessorizing. Many experts, including Gittleman, recommend wearing jewelry made of shungite, a black mineraloid composed almost entirely of carbon that can absorb harmful radiation from EMFs.

between good and bad bacteria. This dysbiosis of the gut flora leads to problems with improper immune function, inflammation and a leaky gut barrier. It all comes down to the gut-brain axis, by which the gut and brain communicate with each other. When the microbiome isn’t balanced, not only is this vital communication system broken, but toxins and pro-inflammatory molecules that trigger ASD-like behaviors can cross the blood-brain barrier. Experts say prioritizing gut health can relieve both GI issues and ASD symptoms.
Focus on Gut Health for ASD Care
For children with ASD, reinforcing the intestinal barrier and restoring balance to the microbiome can have profound health effects. “With dysbiosis and an overly permeable gut, inflammatory molecules can leak into the circulatory system, travel up to the brain and cross the blood-brain barrier, causing inflammation. A lot of it originates in the gut, so when we treat the gut, we can restore microbial balance, diversity and resilience to the ecosystem—and in doing so, decrease inflammation, help restore the appropriate blood-brain barrier and bring the brain back into more of a balance,” advises Bock. Before embarking on a treatment plan, Bock emphasizes the importance of working with a qualified healthcare practitioner to determine where a child fits in terms of subtypes of ASD, along with any other individual contributing factors. Although autism spectrum disorder is complex, using holistic strategies that address the whole body can make all the difference. “I see thousands of kids on the spectrum, and the vast majority of them improve with an integrative approach to treatment, and more and more kids are actually recovering,” notes Bock.

FOUR WAYS TO SUPPORT GUT HEALTH Gluten- and casein-free diet.
A study published in Metabolic Brain Disease found that excluding gluten and casein led to significant improvements in ASD scores. “A gluten-free, casein-free diet is anti-inflammatory, and can help heal a leaky gut by restoring intestinal integrity and enabling the gut barrier to heal,” says Kenneth A. Bock, M.D.
Probiotics. Beneficial bacteria are integral to a balanced
microbiome, but many ASD kids are lacking friendly flora. Research by Rutgers University shows that probiotics can improve GI dysfunction and reduce the severity of ASD symptoms.
Prebiotics. To thrive, beneficial bacteria need plenty of
prebiotic fiber. In a study of 30 autistic children published in Microbiome, six weeks of prebiotic supplementation led to reduced anti-social behavior.
Preconception care. Research from the University of
Virginia School of Medicine suggests that a mom’s microbiome may partially determine her child’s ASD risk. Because babies inherit their microbes from their mothers, it’s crucial that pregnant women have healthy gut flora to pass on. Bock recommends that expecting moms ensure adequate intake of probiotics, prebiotics, vitamin D and fish oil, both before and during pregnancy, to help decrease inflammation and promote a healthy maternal microbiome.

ust like their people, dogs are prone to allergies, and pinpointing a cause and cure can be complicated. The maddening itching and scratching that allergic dogs experience can emerge from many factors, including changes in cleaning supplies, chemically treated grass at the park or sensitivity to food—with corn and wheat being common culprits, says Roberta Gleicher, a Purina-certified pet advisor in Long Island. The possible role of these grains in pet food allergies has given rise to an explosion of grain-free products. “Most dogs don’t need grains. They need nutrients,” says Gleicher. “Some of these foods were well-researched, but others were created solely to exploit fads. That’s often why some have better quality ingredients and better nutritional profiles than others.” Many dog owners have found grainfree food to be the answer to their pets’ frustrating health woes. “Our 4-year-old

rescue terrier-mix had redness and itching on his belly to the point of bleeding from scratching. It flared up almost immediately after eating food or treats with grains,” says Allison Radkay, a blogger at LooksLikeHappy.com in suburban Chicago. “Trial and error, combined with a lot of antihistamines, kept his redness and hives to a minimum while we figured out his allergies: He can handle brown rice, but not corn or wheat.” Grains aren’t evil, says integrative veterinarian Marty Goldstein, DVM, of South Salem, New York, and author of The Nature of Animal Healing: The Definitive Holistic Medicine Guide to Caring for Your Dog and Cat. “There is not a real requirement to feed them.

That could be unhealthy for some dogs, according to an alert issued last summer by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It notes that taurine is an amino acid that’s lacking in dogs that develop dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The condition, which can lead to heart failure if left untreated, has long been associated with certain large and giant-sized dogs. Concerns about grain-free foods were raised when reports of DCM surfaced in breeds not typically predisposed to the disease. While the FDA investigates the potential link between taurine deficiency in some grain-free foods, dog owners and veterinarians ponder the best ways to approach a healthy canine diet. Opinions are divided. Justin Shmalberg, DVM, a board-certified veterinary nutritionist based in Gainesville, Florida, and chief nutrition officer at the pet food company NomNomNow, says there’s a longstanding debate about the necessity of carbohydrates for dogs. “Metabolically, a carb-free, meaty diet, including proteins for necessary blood sugar, works.” Still, dogs absorb many carbs just fine, he says. “Carbs are part of our dogs’ evolution. People eat carbs, and as dogs were domesticated, they adapted to eating more carbs.” Some food formulas substitute potatoes for grains, which are high in starch, says Gleicher. “Too much starch can raise blood sugar levels, which can be especially harmful for dogs with obesity or diabetic issues.” Goldstein, founder of Dr. Marty Nature’s Blend freeze-dried pet food, headquartered in Woodland Hills, California, favors a predominantly meat diet for carnivorous dogs. “The addition of a small amount of cooked, whole grains is okay, especially for a healthy dog. My golden, eating food that contained some brown rice, lived to 19-and-a-half, much longer than today’s life expectancy of 8 to 10 years.” In some cases, it may not be the grain itself that’s creating the problem. “A chemical residue on the grain or a genetically modified variety might trigger an allergic reaction,” Gleicher says. There’s no denying that for some dogs, removing grain has led to significant relief from allergy symptoms. If it helps, there’s no reason to panic over the latest controversy, say the experts. On the other hand, take care in jumping on the grain-free bandwagon without due diligence, careful consideration and consultation with a vet. “The best diet is individualized,” says Shmalberg. “Feed quality foods, rotate protein sources and ask where ingredients come from. Dogs are adaptable. Do what’s best for each of your dogs. Don’t just follow a trend.”

CONSCIOUS TREE TRIMMING
Cat’s Claw
Experienced, Licensed and Insured
Trees Big or Small - We Do Them All!
By William H. Stager, DO, MS, MPH, FAAFP, FAAMA, FAAO, FACOFP dist.
C
at’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is a vine that has curved, paired thorns that resemble the claws of a cat. It is indigenous to the rainforests of Central and South America. It grows up to 100 feet high, with medium sized leaves, and small flowers and berries. It’s Spanish name – Una de Gato – is used for it as well as for several other plants, so I will include here the proper Latin names of these other plants not to be confused with Cat’s Claw; these are: Anadenanthera flava, Bauhinia aculeate, Berberis goudoti, Celtis uguanae, Doxantha ungis catii, Mimosa albida, Pisonia aculeate, Rubus urticaefolius, and Zanthoxylum panamensis.
HISTORY
Cat’s Claw has been used by native Central and South Americans for centuries. In fact, there is proof of its use by tribes in Peru for over 2,000 years. Peru also happens to be the largest exporter of Cat’s Claw today. Native peoples have used it historically for: asthma, infections and inflammations of the urinary tract, wound infections, arthritis, gastric ulcers, cancer, dysentery, diabetes, menstrual hemorrhages and irregularities, cirrhosis, fevers, abscesses and as a contraceptive. The Ashaninka tribe in Peru apparently would boil about 5 kilograms of the Cat’s Claw root in water until it was reduced to one cup and thus highly concentrated. One cup was then drunk every day for the days of menstruation for three menstrual cycles, which supposedly then caused sterility for up to four years. Modern research into Cat’s Claw began in Europe in 1970, where various extracts of the vine, bark and root were developed, tested and used. As the active ingredients were isolated and identified, it was found that there were some ingredients called tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOA’s) that were in fact harmful, which counteracted the healthful properties of the “good” alkaloids (pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids or POA’s). Another specie of Cat’s Claw, called Uncaria guiaensis, was considered to be an adulterant of the more potent Uncaria tomentosa. I have included these various Latin names so that the interested reader may carefully identify and discriminate them when reading the labels of the many brands out there.
MODERN RESEARCH
A lot has been written about Cat’s Claw, and my search led to 51 Medline abstracts and several independent papers on the Internet as well as the PDR for Herbal Medicines. 46
Palm Beach Edition
napalmbeach.com
EFFECTS
Anti-inflammatory and immunostimulating: in various studies, both in the lab (in vitro) as well as in animal and human studies (in vivo), Cat’s Claw was found to reduce edema and arthritic inflammation, in some cases from 46% to 89%. It is an antioxidant. It stimulates various aspects of the immune system, including interleukin 1 and 6, and decreases harmful tissue necrosis factor (TNF). It reduces inflammation in inflammatory bowel disorders. It reduced inflammation in neuralgias and herpes zoster (shingles). It is reported to treat Lyme’s disease. Cancer: It has cytoprotective, cytostatic and cytotoxic properties. It suppressed growth in some types of leukemia and viruses. It improved the immune system’s cells’ ability to eliminate foreign substances. It inhibited growth of one type of human breast cancer cells. Cancer patients who took Cat’s Claw with their medical chemotherapy or radiation therapy reported fewer side effects normally associated with those therapies, such as hair loss, weight loss, and nausea. It helps cells repair themselves and helps prevent the loss of white blood cells (leukopenia). Cardiovascular effects and platelet aggregation: It inhibits venous and cerebral thrombosis (blood clots) by inhibiting platelet aggregation. It relaxes and dilates blood vessels, lowers the heart rate and blood pressure, and lowers blood cholesterol. Serotonin and dopamine: It increases the levels of these two neurotransmitters in the brain, thus leading to possible use as an antidepressant.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Cat’s Claw is contraindicated in pregnancy and nursing mothers; before or following any organ or bone transplant; persons seeking to get pregnant (remember it’s used as a contraceptive); and people using blood thinners.
ADVERSE EFFECTS

INTUITIVE HEALER/HYPNOIST JANE GRAY FORD 561-827-3319 • janegrayford.com ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY The secret to healing starts in the energy field of the body. Pain and disease frequently begin in the auric/ energy field and over time block the energy to the physical body. This may go on for years creating pain and eventually disease. When this energy is restored the body begins to heal itself.

What are Your 2019 Health Goals?
by Dr. Yolanda Cintron
Detox and Heal
I
t is a new year, filled with new hopes and new resolutions. If you have been reading my articles monthly, please keep following along at DrYolie. com and subscribe for more content. I am sure you know what to do in order to live a healthy life: Eat well and exercise; connect to God, living a purposeful life, forgiving and loving yourself and others. I suggest true detoxification starts in the mouth. Become aware of all the toxicity that you may have in the bucket of life (mental, spiritual, physical, genetic). You can start by removing the toxicity in your mouth. Remember that every tooth is associated with an energy meridian. In turn, it’s going to connect to a specific organ and system. Why is it that we struggle with the promises that we make with ourselves? Even the most disciplined people struggle. Part of it is that we are creatures of habit, programmed by our family of origin and the media; like sheep, we follow that to which we are exposed. We must pray to simplify our lives and plan ahead in 2019. Plan your days; plan your week, your month; time management will really help you implement new goals. We need to declutter our lives—let go of what is not good; have new plans of new social circles filled with people who are like-minded, wanting to have a simpler life. Allow yourself to have a margin of time every day to be flexible to hear from God—that inner voice to guide you—then you will have time to review your health goals. Let’s do it together and support each other. On a daily basis in our practice,
we meet people who are str uggling with their health. Many doctors are becoming very strict, not taking a patient who hasn’t had their mouth detoxified (amalgam fillings removed) because the outcome of their treatment will not be successful. We see many people referred by their family or health providers who know that overall health starts in the mouth. The teeth and gums are part of the body’s system, not just tools for shredding food. When teeth are diseased, it affects other organs and bodily functions. Many diseases are caused by dental problems. This past year we treated patients with all kinds of cancers, neurological conditions, MS, Parkinson’s, seizures, ADD, dementia, Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, stroke, heart attacks, stents, etc. More people are becoming aware that their dental health— removing heavy metals and mercury from the mouth properly—is crucial for their recovery. Conventional dentistry began using mercury in dental amalgam fillings 150 years ago. It was cheap and simple to use compared to gold and other materials. Heavy metals affect the immune system because they get released into the body and block your body’s regulatory function creating
endless inflammation. So let’s clean up the mess properly, get your immune system released from all the unnecessary attacks and start a new year with strength and clarity of mind. I am here to support your health goals for 2019! **Health Professionals: Please contact us if you are interested in having Dr. Yolie speak to your patients about oral detoxification and comprehensive dentistry or work with you to get your patients healthy from the inside out. We can only help others heal fully if we work together. For a consultation or appointment with Dr. Yolie, call 954-938-4599 or email Info@DrCintron.com. For more info on comprehensive dentistry, visit DrYolie.com and subscribe. To view our work and learn more about what we offer our patients, visit GoNaturalDentistry. com. Next month we will discuss the newest findings on how electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and fillings affect your health. Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. ~ Matthew 9:35
