Letter from the Publisher Happy 4th of July!

H

appy July everyone! I have always

loved the month of July, but now more than ever as it is my daughter’s birth month. Yes, this time of year will always hold a piece of my heart.

When I think of July, I also think of Independence Day. I know I’ve talked about my personal Independence Day traditions before but it’s too near and dear to my heart to not reminisce again! Typically my husband and I, and any family member we have on hand will venture downtown on the 3rd to watch the fireworks, that was then. We’ve skipped the last three years of fireworks, first due to being out of town, then the last two years, we’ve had an itty bitty baby who probably wouldn’t take kindly to the late night and noise. Instead we do an evening picnic on a beach somewhere, maybe shoot off a firework or two and make a relatively early night of it.

It has been our ritual, old and new, to

make our way downtown celebrate our independence midmorning of the forth with family and friends. to share a delicious crepe I love the diversity that is from the Alaskan Crepe Southeast Alaska, so many Escape (Monkey Business is talents, cultures and artists. our favorite) and visit with For me this magazine our dear friends before the represents my passion and parade starts. This year we independence. I grew up are so excited for we will drawing and painting,

When we in college to graphic design and hear the sirens it’s our cue to head to development and eventually led to the Alaskan Fudge Company sidewalk, founding this magazine. Southeast where we watch the parade. As a Living Magazine is obviously a local former employee of the Fudge Co. it’s publication, owned and operated by nostalgic to smell the sweet scent a born-and-raised Juneauite. Starting, of fudge and caramel apples while maintaining, and growing this observing the diversity and splendor of magazine, I have developed a deep care this local procession. After the parade and appreciation for the local economy and a quick sip of coffee our plans and fully understand the necessity to are usually weather dependent. If it’s support local business. I cannot tell you nice we may head to Douglas Island how grateful I am to local businesses and partake in the festivities there. If and local residents who have supported it’s raining we usually venture back to and contributed to this lifestyle the valley and eat a hardy lunch and publication. I have much respect

and gratitude for those people in the community that take the initiative to do something great, whether it be starting a business, a plan of action, a non-profit, a fundraiser… Doing something like that takes dedication and effort which is another reason why I love living here. There are so many caring, generous people willing to volunteer, donate or help. I don’t know if that is a small community trait or not, but regardless we are very lucky to have the philanthropic and generous communities of Southeast Alaska that we do. With that said, please go out and be safe, enjoy your summer and support our local businesses and local people.

SQUATTY POTTY If you are thinking of a advice.

WebMD puts bathroom remodel or the number of people update, you’re probably frequently experiencing envisioning new tile and constipation at 40 million. vanities, new cabinets or This may be why annual a soaker tub and fancy laxative sales are in the fixtures. What may not be hundreds of millions of at the top of your plans is By Dr. Summer Beattie, ND dollars’ range. If these the one thing I rarely see statistics are true, then it is in bathrooms but it or very likely you or someone something similar should be. That you know has experienced is a “Squatty Potty®”! First, what is constipation and might benefit from a Squatty Potty, and then why would a Squatty Potty®. you want – why do you NEED one.

So, what is constipation?

As The “Squatty Potty” is the registered brand for what is considered a toilet accessory stool. It is shaped to fit around the base of the toilet and can be slid out, so that it is used as a foot rest while seated on the toilet.

By resting your feet in an elevated position while on the toilet, it brings the body into a position that mimics squatting. After being told by her physician that squatting might help relieve her constipation, this particular version was launched in 2012 by Judy Edwards and her son. The company did extremely well from the beginning, but then it appeared on Season 6 of Shark Tank and generated the same sales revenue in that single night as it had in its whole first year - $1 Million! An add for the product debuted that fall, featuring a prince and a pooping unicorn. In the first three months, it had garnered over 36 million views on social media platforms. Pooping, or not pooping, is definitely something people are interested in!

Why? Because, according to the American College of Gastroenterology, constipation is a big problem in the US. It is one of the most frequent abdominal complaints, generating no less than 2.5 million doctor visits per year.

This number is likely not nearly representative of the prevalence of the issue, as many individuals deal with or treat constipation on their own, without seeking medical

W W W.

defined by the American Academy of Family Physicians, a person is considered constipated if they have fewer than three bowel movements a week, if they must strain to have those bowel movements, have incomplete bowel movements or are left feeling as if the rectum is blocked. There are many causes of constipation, ranging from simple dietary habits, such as not drinking enough water, to serious health concerns that need to be managed by a physician. Because there are so many reasons a person might be constipated, the Squatty Potty really only addresses one potentially contributing factor – position.

You will find experts on both sides of the argument as to whether or not squatting is beneficial if you already have pretty normal bowel movements. “Normal” certainly varies from one individual to another, so there is “your normal” and what is thought of as normal for the general population as a whole.

The Bristol stool scale is used to classify the form and texture of a bowel movement. Then, most health experts define “normal” as one bowel movement a day with no straining. However, these same experts will also state that the range of “normal” in frequency may be anywhere from three times a week to three times a day! The key seems have less to do with frequency than it does the ease with which it happens. Some will argue

SEAKLIVING

that squatting helps prevent not only constipation, but hemorrhoids and a host of other issues. Others will say the few studies done were insufficient to make such long term claims. What they do agree on is that there is no harm in squatting to poop and that it might be of benefit to some people.

Conclusion? Give it a try!

Here is why squatting may help relieve constipation. The puborectalis is a sling of muscle wrapping around the rectum that has been sometimes classified as the deep layer of the external sphincter. It is really a distinct skeletal muscle responsible for changing the anorectal angle of the rectum. When contracted, the anorectal angle becomes more acute, bending up toward the head and effectively putting a kink in the tube and helping insure fecal

continence.

When this muscle is relaxed, the angle becomes more obtuse or wide, allowing the bend in the rectum to move into a more open and straight position.

SQUATTY POTTY Of course, you should always seek medical advice from a qualified healthcare provider if you are experiencing any gastrointestinal distress. It is very important to rule out any serious conditions that might be causing your issues. The following are some simple lifestyle suggestions, in addition to adopting a toilet posture that mimics squatting, that may help alleviate constipation: • Increase your fluid intake, and specifically pure water.

• Increase your intake of whole vegetables and fruits that will contain more fiber • Avoid any food allergies or intolerances: gluten and dairy are often problematic for people who tend toward constipation.

• Consumer more fermented foods

or add in a probiotic • Move – regular intentional exercise and general activity throughout the day • Check with your physician about medications that might be contributing to constipation • See a holistic or integrative practitioner for recommendations on specific foods, herbs or nutrients that might help.

• Do not rely on laxatives for long term regular bowel movements As a side note, there are specific populations such as babies, pregnant mothers, the elderly and more who may have issues with constipation unique to them. A common but often missed side effect of constipation in children is bed wetting. This is

if

definitely a topic w o r t h reading up on this might be your child.

Naturopathic Doctors are infamous for talking to their patients in depth about poop and bowel habits.

This is because it can be such an important indicator of many other health situations. This article just barely touches on the topic, but I hope it makes it a little easier to start that conversation with family and whichever healthcare provider you can most comfortably do so.

Dr. Summer Beattie,ND was born and

grew up in Southeawst Alaska - it will always be home.

A 2004 graduate of Bastyr University, she served two terms on the board of directors for the Washington Association of Naturopathic Physicians, and has worked in a variety of primary and specialty care settings. This has given her a broad wealth of experience that she now uses in a unique clinical practice with a focus on rejuvenative physical and aesthetic medicine. Dr. Beattie,ND offers comprehensive care as it relates to physical rehabilitation from a Naturopathic Orthopedic perspective.

907.523.2774 8390 Airport Blvd, Suite 201 Juneau, Alaska 99801

SHE’S A WITCH! So

back in the day I was married to a commercial fisherman.

We were together for 8 years, and going on divorced for 4. Andy has a key to my house, I let him borrow my truck when he’s in town but I’m out of town, and we work so that he can see Kiska as much as he can when he’s here. I make sure he’s invited to our family events when he’s in town, and include holiday 6-pack delivers along with all my other friends. I will always love that man, just, umm, over there (gestures an arms distance away).

When we were married I was looking at a house for us. But my needs and wants were very different than they are now.

Back then, I was thinking of things like

boat storage, area to set pots or mend nets, and parking for multiple vehicles.

I also was strictly looking for a ranch style house with a garage. The reason for a ranch, is that fishermen have a tendency to hurt themselves: falling off ladders, squishing things, pulling and spraining things, and of course all the cuts and bruises. But also sometimes more serious things, like falling into holds and breaking backs and legs. So I wanted a house that was wheelchair friendly, should that medical bill ever arrive. But when looking for a place for just me and my furrens, I wasn’t thinking about wheelchairs and daily life of the wounded and crippled.

I fully acknowledge that Ember the

cat is actually going to be the reason we all die. Bless her heart, she has full confidence that no one will step on her tiny little self, so she doesn’t move. Like at all. She loves to sit at the top of the stairs or at the bottom, and she curls up and just snoozes away. She’s not deaf, she’s not blind, or impaired in any way.

She is a fully functioning cat. She just really believes that she doesn’t need to be concerned about people walking up and down the stairs. Now, I’m not making fun of anyone here, but for some reason multiple of my housemates have slipped down the stairs, though I can’t say that alcohol was never a factor.

I know for a fact Ember was the cause of one slide and thud, followed by her drunken laughing and the exclamation (in a slight Virginia accent) “mooooove cat!” No harm now fowl. Though I think some orange fur was left on the stairs from that one.

So there I am the Friday before Memorial Day, finishing up the last of my cleaning for my friend to watch the house and kitty, because Andy had Kiska and my truck. My washer and dryer are downstairs with the

bedrooms and bathroom. You come into my condo at the landing, and upstairs is the kitchen, dining area, and living room. The sun was out, so Kiska was out in the front yard chillin in the grass. I was folding a fitted sheet from the dryer, walked up the stairs to the landing, checked on Kiska, then laughed to myself while thinking of that meme that “if she can fold a fitted sheet, she’s a witch” and walked down the stairs then BOOM! Down I go. I overhear myself say some words not fit for print, and hear my ankle and foot make some less than awesome noises, and tumble over and the tile floor catches me at the bottom.

C O N T I N U E D : SHE’S A WITCH! I laid there, home alone, and laughed while trying not to cry while whimpering ‘help, help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up’.

Because o f course my

first reaction to possible legit injury is self-mockery. For all the grief I give Ember about being the mastermind of our ruin, here I fell down the stairs and she wasn’t even around to blame! I held my left foot up, and slowly turned my ankle side to side to check for pain. Phew, not too bad, but also not awesome.

I watched my Nerdy Neighbor walk by outside, and had a moment of curiosity, I wonder how long I would lay here until someone found me? My two housemates were out of town, so it was just me and furry ones.

I laid there for a bit in my own self m i s e r y, thinking that if I was a

witch I should really get on not falling down stairs, but for the first time in three years I guess it’s not that bad.

I picked myself up, and limped up my stairs and brought Kiska in.

Thank goodness Andy was coming to meet me and take me to the airport in an hour.

So to anticipate any swelling I put on my Chacos and finished up my chores then Andy and I headed to the airport.

When I got back from SEA, and after a lot of icing and limping about, I realized that here I had always thought about what would happen if Andy hurt himself – but I never thought about what if I hurt MYSELF. Fast forward a few weeks and I

have a sprained foot and I’m still limping around. I think about how much nicer it would be to have a house without stairs.

Patriotic Currant Cake

Recipe

Ingredients ½ lb butter, organic 1 cup sugar, organic 2 cups flour ¼ tsp cream of tarter ¼ tsp salt ¼ tsp mace (or nutmeg) 4 eggs 2 tablespoons Brandy ½ tsp vanilla 3 cups red currants 1 cup black currants (or blueberries) 2 tsp lemon zest ¼ c powdered sugar (try making your own in the blender)

Currants are rich in antioxidants, manganese, potassium, dietary fiber and vitamin C. I love them in jellies and jams, I’m known for going to great lengths to get currants, (and other berries) Warren Cove, on Warren Island on the Central Southeast Coast has some amazing wild currant bushes and I still have one coveted jar of black fruit jam that I made many, many years ago while salmon tendering in the area. If there was a berry stop that summer, along would come a
