Essential Oils

Spring cleaning with natural ingredients

Millennials are drinking less than ever The negative effects of excess alcohol are well-established, and new findings suggest that as a result of this (and a focus on a healthier lifestyle) millennials are drinking less alcohol than ever. In recent months, there are have been multiple news outlets that have reported a significant decline in the amount of under 30s drinking heavily – if at all. According to an article within The Atlantic, “From 2015 through 2017, the most recent year for which data are available, the rate of Millennials who reported that they had consumed any amount of alcohol in the preceding month remained pretty steady, at more than 60 percent.” In addition to the hangovers, the decline in millennial drinking could also be attributed to how expensive it is as a hobby. Further, as millennials

are often reported to focus more on the experiential, and also their health, means that they are possibly turning away from established social drinking norms. The Wall Street Journal reported that the sale of nonalcoholic-beer has grown by 3.9% on average for the past five years, which makes it the fasting growing segment of the beer industry. The turn away from alcohol could also be compounded with the increasing legalization of cannabis in various parts of the United States. As reported in The Atlantic states: “A 2017 study found that in counties with legalized medicinal cannabis, alcohol sales dropped more than 12 percent when compared with similar counties without weed. Recreational legalization has the potential to bolster that effect by making cannabis products even more broadly accessible.”

How can you use essential oils in your spring cleaning routine? Regular contributor Sheila McGinnis offers her advice.

love this time of year to freshen up and deep clean the house after a long winter of hibernating inside. How about you? This is a time to raise the windows, put up the thick blankets, clean the pollen from windows, and taking time to deep clean areas that were neglected during the winter. One of those areas is my stove! After baking and cooking so much during the winter it truly is the one area that needs my attention. Have you ever bought an oven cleaner and the instructions say wear protective gloves, open windows, and don’t inhale? YIKES! Well, take them at their word because it’s toxic to breathe in. Below is a simple recipe that you’ll feel good about using. Natural oven cleaner • A quarter cup of liquid castile soap • Three quarters of a cup of baking soda • Five drops of tea tree essential oil (EO) • Five drops of orange esssential oil • Mix together and store in a glass container.

Turnip Truck to open in West Nashville

Nashville organic produce store Turnip Truck is set to open a new location later on this year. John Dyke, who founded the first Turnip Truck store in 2001, grew up on a farm in Tennessee. The stores prides itself on being ‘Nashville’s only full service, locally owned natural foods grocer’. There are currently two locations in East Nashville and in the Gulch. As reported in The Tennessean, Dyke outlined the ethos of the store. “We need to build more sustainable

Medical cannabis bill fails in both the House and Senate

Natural treatments

Healthy Eating Goals

A legislative bill that looked to further legalize the use of marijuana in Tennessee has failed to progress in the House and the Senate. The bill included a significant expansion to access to medical marijuana, a measure allowing people who are taking part in FDA medical cannabis trials out-ofstate, to return to Tennessee with their medication, and also adding cancer and inflammatory bowel disease to the list of diseases and conditions that the marijuana law currently covers. One of the biggest advocates of the legislation is Senator Steve Dickerson, who is a doctor. Dickerson delayed the bill until 2020, telling the USA Today Network – Tennessee, “You can run a bill and have it defeated, or you can keep it alive… And practically speaking, we decided to keep it alive

Living well and achieving a healthy weight takes more than just restricting your diet, suggests Karina Hammer, Certified Holistic Wellness Coach.

etting health goals for the spring and summer goes far beyond shedding the few pounds that you gained under your winter sweater to now wiggle into your swimsuit. Weight loss is just one of the benefits of enjoying a healthy diet; it is actually more like a positive side effect of creating balance in your life. What most people don’t realize when they want to lose weight is that food is just one part of a much larger equation.

Soul-nourishing things come from areas in your life other than food, like relationships, career or life-purpose fulfillment, spirituality, and physical activity, to a name a few. If one of these ‘Core Foods’ is out of balance, it’s a common reflex to turn to food to fill the void. But what we know is that the fix is only temporary and it won’t truly nourish us. That’s why healthy living is more than just about food and exercise. As you make your commitment to living healthy, be sure to include in your intentions ways to nourish yourself in the process. Some examples of activities that you love in life might be: spending quality time with loved ones, quality time for yourself, exercise, relaxation, reading a good book, or doing nothing! — whatever speaks to your heart. The other big shift to make while embarking on healthy eating goals is to realize eating healthy does not mean starving or depriving yourself. Food is not about control, it’s about freedom and flexibility.

Does that sound like a new concept to you? If so, you have been dwelling in the old rules of dieting and restricting yourself until you go crazy. Food is a life-force that gives you energy and once you begin to let go of trying to control it and focus on how it nourishes you, your relationship with food will change…and so will your body. Forget about diets and eating boring foods. You should never resign yourself to eating food you don’t enjoy. Enjoy life, and enjoy your food!

and not have a defeat for perception more than anything.” There are currently 33 States where medical marijuana is legal, and the arguments for the legalization is growing in Tennessee, across both sides of the aisle. Dickerson is confident that the bill will move forward with more support. “I believe Tennessee will soon embrace medical cannabis, but unfortunately not soon enough for many of my patients, many of our friends and people in the audience.”

Davidson County juvenile detention center is asking for volunteers to workout with its youth residents. This is following a donation of various gym equipment to the center. Yolanda Hockett, assistant director of programs for the center, told News Channel 5 Nashville how thrilled the organization 6

was to receive this gift. “It feels wonderful that we have some people that are concerned about our youth and that we can work together and accomplish some things for our youth.” In order to qualify to volunteer, applicants must pass a screening, orientation, fingerprinting and background check, and be over the age of 21. There are various times during the week that you can volunteer, including: 3:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. or 2:15 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The organization stresses that volunteers do not need to be certified trainers or fitness instructors to take part. Those interested are invited to contact Yolanda Hockett by calling 615-8628066 x 71004 or emailing yolandahockett@jis.nashville.org.

New support for raising the smoking age

NashvilleHealth, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and CityHealth, has released new research that indicates a large portion of Tennesseans would support a move to raise the tobacco sale age to 21. The results show that 63 percent of Tennessee voters support raising the age individuals can buy tobacco from 18 to 21. Interestingly, 86 percent of the same group also believe that vaping products and e-cigarettes should also be included. When it comes to making all indoor public places smoke-free, 78 percent of voters agree that this should be made into state law.

Caregiver stress and rejuvenation

NashvilleHealth’s founder, Senator Bill Frist, M.D. stressed the importance of legislation when it comes to tackling the negative impact of tobacco on health. “Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in Tennessee, yet 125,000 children alive today will still die from this behavior unless smoking rates decline. Studies show that raising the sale age for tobacco products will make a substantial difference, and these data show that Tennesseans are incredibly supportive.” The research hopes to influence the state’s policymakers to acknowledge the importance of increasing the tobacco sale age across the state. NashvilleHealth is an organization working to “create a culture of health and wellbeing by serving as a convener to open dialogue, align resources and build smart strategic partnerships to create a bold plan for health and wellbeing in Nashville.”

When you’re exhausted and burned out, it’s tough to do anything, let alone look after someone else. That’s why taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity, argues Dr Lisa Webb.

he demands of caregiving can be overwhelming, especially if you feel you have little control over the situation or you’re in over your head. If the stress of caregiving is left unchecked, it can take a toll on your health, relationships, and state of mind – eventually leading to exhaustion.

Caregiver stress and burnout: What you need to know:

Caring for a loved one can be very rewarding, but it also involves many stressors. Caregiver stress can be particularly harmful if it is typically a chronic, long-term challenge. It can be particularly disheartening when there’s little hope your family member will recover or improve for the longterm. That’s why managing the stress levels in your life is just as important as making sure your family member gets to their appointments or takes medication appropriately. Learn to recognize the signs of caregiver stress.

Gov. Lee has signed a gym tax repeal into law

The amusement tax that saw small gyms and fitness centers needing to pay a 10% tax has been repealed. Governor Bill Lee and the state legislature eliminated the tax in late April, in what was Lee’s first public signing of a bill. The law now repeals a $10

million amusement tax on gym memberships. “We all know that we are a state in this country that needs to improve the quality of the health of our citizens,” said Governor Lee, as reported by News Channel Nashville. “The vast majority of the cost of healthcare is associated with mostly preventable chronic disease. When people engage in healthy lifestyles, those diseases are reduced.” The tax cut will come into effect on 1 July 2019, and has been praised by local business owners across the state.

Common signs and symptoms of caregiver overstress: • You have much less energy than you once had • It seems like you catch every cold or flu that’s going around • You’re constantly exhausted, even after sleeping or taking a break • You neglect your own needs, either because you’re too busy or you don’t care anymore • Your life revolves around caregiving, but it gives you little satisfaction • You have trouble relaxing, even when help is available • You’re increasingly impatient and irritable with the person you’re caring for 7

Find ways to feel empowered:

Feeling powerless is the number one contributor to burnout and depression. No matter the situation, you aren’t powerless. This is especially true when it comes to your state of mind. Embrace your caregiving choice. Acknowledge that, despite any resentments or burdens you feel, you have made a conscious choice to provide care. Focus on the positive reasons behind that choice. Focus on the things you can control, focus on the way you choose to react to problems. Celebrate the small victories. If you start to feel discouraged, remind yourself that all your efforts matter. You don’t have to cure your loved one’s illness to make a difference. Don’t underestimate the importance of making your loved one feel more safe, comfortable, and loved!

Get the appreciation you need:

Feeling appreciated can go a long way toward not only accepting a stressful situation, but enjoying life more. Studies show that caregivers who feel appreciated experience greater physical and emotional health. Caregiving actually makes them happier and healthier, despite its demands. But what can you do if the person you’re caring for is no longer able to feel or show their appreciation for your time and efforts? Applaud your own efforts. If you need something more concrete, try making a list of all the ways your caregiving is making a positive difference.

Ask for help

Taking on all of the responsibilities of caregiving without regular breaks or assistance is a surefire recipe for burnout. Don’t try to do it all alone. For more help: contact Dr. Lisa M. Webb at the Body & Mind Consulting Associates Group: www.bodymindtn.com.

Nashville Public Library

Be Well at Nashville Public Library The ‘Be Well at NPL’ program provides numerous health and wellness benefits to the Nashville community. Editor Rachel Rowney finds out more.

ith over 20 different branches of the Nashville Public Library across the city, these spaces are a vital place for community engagement. As well as offering the services typically expected of a library, such as borrowing books and access to the internet, there are a number of health and wellness programs provided for residents of Nashville as part of its ‘Be Well at NPL’ scheme. “Nashville Public Library is very committed to our community, and health and wellness really fall under that umbrella,” Elizabeth Roth, program coordinator of Be Well explains. “In general, libraries are very well poised to be addressing public health and informing the public. According to a national study, 37% of people – when they are online here at the library – are looking up health information. Public libraries also have more visitors each year than doctors do. So you’re reaching people in a community setting, really well, rather than within a clinical setting.” As the library is free to use, the services it provides are accessible to everyone within the community. The general public can utilize the internet service,

search databases with medical information, read books about healthcare and even attend classes each week. Elizabeth explains that about three years ago, Nashville Public Library studied the health indicators within the county and looked at where the opportunities were to improve the wellness of the population. Together with corporate partners, the library wanted to address the high rates of blood pressure, lack of physical exercise and poor mental health in the community.

“Each branch of the library is doing its own thing, looking at what is most meaningful for their community.”

“We focused on mental health, physical movement, and nutrition programs. Now we have 15 free yoga classes a week across our library system. We have a dietician who has developed a program that is specific for the library, which is addressing things such as ‘How do you cook for your family on a fixed income?’ or ‘How do you cook for yourself if you have different health conditions, like heart disease or diabetes?’ We are being very intentional and specific to our Nashville community needs, and creating healthcare around that,” says Elizabeth. The support from organizations has enabled the library to not just offer theoretical advice, but practical demonstrations of healthy living. “Through grants and funding, we have been able to purchase supplies, so our nutritionist has a portable kitchen that she takes around, meaning it is handson learning,” adds Elizabeth. “People are gaining cooking skills, in addition to the nutritional sides of things.” As there are so many different branches across Nashville, each one has adapted its programs to reflect the needs of its users; looking at which classes or programs are most popular or effective. 8

The various branches also focus on what matters most to those using its services. “Other library branches have done different things,” explains Elizabeth, “Such as celebrating mental health awareness with book displays and information about hotlines, counseling connections in the community, or promoting activities like relaxation coloring and crafting.” Although the library itself doesn’t offer mental health services, it can connect people with the facilities available to help them as much as they can, and support them on their journey. “Each branch is doing its own thing, looking at what is most meaningful for their community,” concludes Elizabeth.

is not your average beverage. We are committed to being the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most powerful food. The National Cancer Institute spent $20 million on a study depicting the anticancer compounds in fruits and vegetables and found five superstars, all being found abundantly in soy: Isoflavones, protease inhibitors, saponins, phytosterols, and phytic acids. Soy isoflavones alone not only have the ability to inhibit cancer cell growth, but have the ability to stimulate differentiation, causing cancerous cells to change back into healthy (noncancerous) cells. Haelan 951 is unparalleled in its isoflavone (especially genistein) and BBI inhibitor count. Our patented fermentation and specific growing process allows us to isolate these anticancer compounds and provide maximum nutrition. We only take the best of soy and nothing else. We know Haelan 951 can help you increase your quantity and quality of life.

Chronic fatigue

Chronic fatigue and your mitochondria Do you suffer from chronic fatigue? Dr. Angelina Szuch, APRN of Banyan Healthcare explains why it’s vital to look at how your cells make energy in order to understand why you may feel fatigued.

verwhelming chronic fatigue is one of the biggest complaint’s patients have when they seek care from a Functional Medicine provider. The fatigue is not just bothersome — it can be so debilitating that it keeps people from completing even small everyday tasks. People with chronic fatigue are often told that the condition is in their head: they’re depressed, or that they are just plain lazy. Doctors frequently prescribe more exercise to boost energy levels — a recommendation impossible to implement if you are struggling just to get through the day. What we have recently learned is that, for many people, chronic fatigue isn’t in their head. It results from a dysfunction deep in their cells. If you suffer from relentless fatigue, know that it’s not a lack of motivation but possibly poor production of energy at the cellular level. To understand why fatigue is plaguing you in the first place, we must examine how your cells make energy. Your mitochondria are organelles that exist inside all of your cells and make energy. I like to think of the mitochondria as little engines. Your mitochondria work around the clock to convert sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids into a substance called adenosine triphosphate or ATP; ATP is the energy molecule of your body. Your cells use it for many biochemical jobs — from muscle contraction to hormone production. So your mitochondria are responsible for your energy levels. You need a constant supply of ATP to live. In fact, without it, you would die in seconds. Like the engine of your car uses a process called combustion to convert oxygen and fuel into energy, your mitochondria use a process called the Kreps Cycle to convert oxygen and nutrients into ATP. The Krebs Cycle is a complex dance of chemicals within the mitochondria in your cells. Anything that impedes that process can make you feel fatigued.

When patients come to our office frustrated by chronic fatigue, this is where we look first. We look for things known to impact the Krebs Cycle and cause impaired mitochondrial function. Some of those things include exposure to toxins or mold; diseases such as Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr or other herpes viruses, thyroid hormone abnormalities, gastrointestinal disorders, intestinal permeability (‘leaky gut’), multiple chronic conditions, and nutrient deficiencies. Fatigue is the main complaint of people who suffer from impaired mitochondrial function and decreased energy production. But there are other symptoms. You might also experience muscle aches or weakness, or intolerance to exercise. Digestive issues, impaired immune systems, or migraines can also be traced back to mitochondrial function. 33

The good news is that there is a simple urine test, called the organic acid test (OAT), that detects abnormalities in the Krebs Cycle. The Organic Acid Profile is like an emission test performed on your car. The exhaust is examined to see how efficiently the engine is burning fuel. Similarly, certain compounds called “organic acids” in your urine reveal the efficiency of your body’s machinery. The Organic Acid Test can also help give clues to what might cause your mitochondria to not be functioning optimally including signs of yeast or bacterial infections. Armed with this information we can develop a protocol to boost your energy right now while you address the underlying condition that caused your body to decrease energy production.

Twigs and Roots

Natural products rooted in Nashville The two-woman team behind Twigs and Roots are passionate about their handcrafted products, and are committed to ensuring their range offers a natural alternative for their customers. Editor Rachel Rowney sits down with them to find out more. Image credit: Alysse Gafkjen

Claudia Lofton and Haylee Young are the Nashville women blazing a trail for natural products in the region.

ou know that feeling when you finally find a product that you love? You immediately go out and buy that item in bulk, praying it will never go out of stock. That is exactly what happened when Haylee Young came across the deodorant made by Nashville-based company Twigs and Roots. As a busy nurse practitioner, with a penchant for natural products and organic ingredients, she had searched and searched for her perfect deodorant. “When I found Twigs and Roots, I was so excited and it worked so well,” recalls Haylee. “I went back to buy it again and I was told that the founder was selling

the company, so I told her my story and was so passionate about it, I just said there weren’t a lot of good deodorants out there that are that effective.” This encounter led to Haylee, together with her friend Claudia Lofton purchasing Twigs and Roots, and the latest incarnation of the brand was launched. “When we took over, we pretty much immediately redid everything about it,” explains Claudia, a designer by trade. “The recipes were strong but we wanted to make it ours, so we went through a couple of rebrands, and now we’re really happy with it. It has come a long way.” 34

Twigs and Roots prides itself on being a smallbatch, Nashville brand that is helping its customers on their journey to embrace natural, non-toxic products. “We’re so happy that people are using natural products and they know the importance of doing that, especially for women. It’s vital to make the change to natural, and do anything you can to get those products and toxins off your body,” says Haylee, whose own experience with a health-scare prompted research into the side-effects of many common products we use on our bodies each day. “As women, we are putting on so much, from makeup, to lotion to what you wash with, there is so much stuff that we are exposing ourselves to. Your body can only detox so much,” she adds. If you turn to the ingredients list of many products you can buy in most stores, it is often full of names and chemicals that are barely understandable, which can be incredibly difficult to decipher. Each of the ingredients used in Twigs and Roots products are listed on its website, as well as an explanation of its purpose. There has been a noticeable shift in recent years towards a more natural way of life, as individuals become more attuned to the potential health implications of the modern beauty regime. “People are becoming more aware of how many products you use in a day and there are so many articles that have been written about how many chemicals we encounter. I think that people are taking the time to be mindful about what they are buying and putting on or in their body,” says Claudia. Twigs and Roots is committed to producing small batch, high-quality products, which are all made, poured and labeled at Claudia’s house in Nashville. Its current offering includes the firm favorite deodorants, as well as balms, salves, and powders for babies. “The Calendula balm is our most popular,” remarks Claudia. “I use it on my lips, my cuticles, I use it instead of Neosporin when I get minor cuts or burns. The calendula flower has lots of natural healing powers, and it’s anti-inflammatory.”

Natural beauty

Best natural, organic beauty alternatives There are a number of brands that are creating natural products that feature organic ingredients, which are better for you and the planet. Here, we highlight some of the products that we have tried, tested and loved. Soothing and brightening sheet mask, Rawganic

Facial wipes, Rawganic

These are 100 percent vegan, cruelty-free, 99.9 percent natural origin and made from biodegradable organic cotton, this sheet mask is a great alternative to using other masks with plastic or non-degradable products. Sheet masks have grown in popularity recently, but are often covered in materials that aren’t good for your skin or for the planet.

Facial wipes are becoming a huge issue in sewers and drainage systems. If you still need these wipes in your beauty regime, the Rawganic facial wipes are biodegradable, vegan and cruelty-free, meaning there has been no animal testing in the process of making them.

Shampoo and Conditioner, Love Beauty and Planet

Lavender and Clary Sage Deodorant, Twigs and Roots

This brand, available at Target, has beautiful packaging with the bottles made up of 100 percent recycled plastic, and its products have no parabens or dyes. Love Beauty and Planet have a full range of beauty products available.

Natural and Nashville-based, this brand is offering great alternatives to traditional deodorants filled with toxins and chemicals. This product comprises calendula infused olive oil, natural shea and kokum butters, and clary sage and floral lavender essential oils. This is completely aluminum free and utilizes baking soda for odor prevention.

Bamboo toothbrush

Calendula salve, Twigs and Roots

Did you know that the plastic toothbrush you learned to brush your teeth with still exists somewhere on this planet? Plastic toothbrushes have been used for decades, and now there is a viable alternative! Bamboo Toothbrushes often have charcoal brushes, which have the extra benefit of being antimicrobial and aid in the whitening of teeth. We love Wowe’s ‘Organic Natural Bamboo Toothbrush’, especially as this brand pledges one percent of its profits to One Tree Planted, an organization that brings trees to areas that have experienced deforestation.

The Calendula flower has been used by botanists and herbalists for centuries, and this salve contains purely Calendula and beeswax. It can be used in various ways, from dry lips to cuticles. This salve proves that simple ingredients are often the most effective tools to alleviate dry or irritated skin. 36

Ursa Major is a brand based in Vermont and is a result of their founders’ move towards a healthier, more natural lifestyle. This mint and eucalyptus flavored deodorant smells and feels fresh.

“We’re obsessive about the craft of making awesome natural skin and body care products, nothing less. We only launch a product once it checks all the boxes, no matter how long it takes. Is it clean? Is it effective? Does it offer a sublime experience? Most importantly, do we love it? We strive to formulate hard-working products that do more in less time so you can get out the door and enjoy what really counts. No complex, mandated multi-step routines here – just grab what you need and go. Plus, all of our products are great for all skin types and genders. We think the days of “beauty” or “grooming” are over.”

Is There a Way to Detect Oral Cancer in Early Stages? Over 40,000 Americans are diagnosed with oral cancer every year, and sadly, the recovery rate is the worst out of all other forms of cancer, writes Jaime A. Romero Jr...

his is perhaps due to the fact that oral cancer is not usually discovered until it is late into the development stage. With ever improving technology, can oral surgeons hope to find ways to diagnose, and therefore treat, oral cancer in its early stages?

Patients Need to Be Made Aware of Early Signs and Risk Factors When oral cancer starts, it usually goes unnoticed by the patient for quite some time. The early stages of oral cancer are not painful until it has advanced into a noticeable tumor. Additionally, by the time patients are treated for the tumor, the cancer has developed and can cause secondary tumors after initial treatment. Patients who have had an encounter with oral cancer are 20 times more likely to develop a second type of cancer. Although symptoms are usually nonspecific and thus go unnoticed, oral cancer does create symptoms that everyone should be aware of. If you have had any of the following symptoms or are otherwise at risk, you should see an oral surgeon as soon as possible.

Symptoms of Oral Cancer: • White (leukoplakia) or red (erythroplakia) lesions in the mouth that do not heal within two weeks. • A lump or a notable thickening of the soft tissue in the mouth. • Feeling like something is caught in your throat, or difficulty chewing and swallowing. • Ear pain and difficulty moving the jaw; swelling of the jaw. • Difficulty moving the tongue, or unexplained numbness of the tongue.

If any of these symptoms develop and persist for more than two weeks, laboratory tests and clinical exams may be necessary for a diagnosis. Additionally, there are certain people that are more at risk for oral cancer. Anyone who is a heavy drinker or smoker is more prone to developing cancer of the mouth. Certain strains of HPV have been linked to oral cancer, and people over 40 may have an increased risk.

New Technology May Help With Early Detection Aside from a traditional examination of the mouth conducted by your doctor or oral surgeon, emerging technologies may hold promise for techniques in early diagnosis. Vital Staining and autoflourescence imaging may help to identify abnormal sections of the mucosal membranes. Newer imaging technology, like i-CAT scans, may also detect early signs of cancer, as these scans can show abnormalities in soft tissue, bones, and 38

blood vessels. Advancing technology, coupled with patient awareness, may hold some hope for the future of early diagnostics in oral cancer.
