learn about the roles and services of a midwife By Suzanne Saunders
n the U.S., a certified nurse midwife (CNM) is a midwife who exceeds the International Confederation of Midwives essential competencies for a midwife. A CNM is also an advanced practice registered nurse who has completed registered nursing and midwifery education. In our practice in Santa Rosa, each of our midwives hold master’s degrees in nursing. Our indepth training and experience offer skillsets that allow our midwives to specialize in women’s health for women of any age — from teens to postmenopausal women. This means that not all of our patients are pregnant or post-partum. In fact, approximately only 60% of our patients are pregnant. While the ratio of pregnant patients to patients with other health care needs may vary from practice to practice, I’ll bet for many people reading this, 60% is a surprising statistic. What won’t surprise you is how much midwives love providing

to any fitness practice. Bananas: The cheerful color and builtin packaging are just the start. Bananas are a good source of potassium, which helps prevent cramping. Plus, they are a wonderful source of natural sugars (the good kind) and carbohydrates, which help provide sustained energy. It’s a common misconception that bananas aren’t as healthy due to the higher sugar content, however, the natural sugars in bananas come with fiber, which slows digestion and gives the body time to use it as fuel instead of storing it as fat. Grab a bunch of bananas at the store and you have a convenient pre-workout snack or perfect addition to your recovery shake. Cottage cheese: Scoop up some of this See Snacks Page 6

Water and tea are the elixirs of life By Donna Tokugawa he human body is made up primarily of water, nothing is more important for our well being. Water is the most fundamental element for every living thing on Earth. Water is life — healthy water is healthy life. Water is not just an assembly of oxygen and hydrogen molecules. It’s not just H2O. Scientists discovered that water has a memory, and that it can be positively stimulated by sources of vibration and energy. “The Hidden Message in Water” introduces the work of Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto, who has discovered that molecules of water are affected by our thoughts, words, vibrations and energy. Nikola Tesla, the eccentric and brilliant scientist, so ahead of his time, and who set the stage for wireless technology, said, “If you want to understand the universe, think of energy, frequency and vibration.” Water has an enormous storage capacity and will pick up all electromagnetic frequencies that it encounters. Water has memory; therefore, the miles water must travel in pipes, storage tanks, transportation and even packaging will have an impact on the quality of water. Because most of us do not have our own spring water, it is important to reenergize our water. Gemstones and crystals have been a source of “vibrational energy” for thousands of years. They were used by Sumerians 4,000 years BC and in Traditional Chinese Medicine 5,000 years ago.

tea time — The only beverage on the planet consumed more than water is tea, which was first used as medicine around 4,000 years ago. Not only does the tea have beneficial properties, more is being discovered about water’s “memory” capacity.
The Greeks used Amethyst to “prevent intoxication” more than 3,000 years ago. Although the science behind gemstones and their ability to inspirit water is not vast, evidence does exist. The only beverage on the planet consumed more than water is tea. One wiseman once told me “water is tea, with a lot of the important stuff missing.” The tea plant, the camellia sinensis, has been added to water, first as medicine, about 4,000
years ago. Over the years, wisdom revealed tea to be more than a beverage and when prepared with fresh pure spring water, a life changing, enriching experience on many levels. Today most of us do not have the resources of a fresh spring, however, we can use gemstones to energize our water, to be enjoyed alone, for our tea and even on our skin. So, enjoy some gem water, experience a gem water and tea spa
treatment, taste a cold drip tea created with gem water and learn how you can prepare and benefit every day!

Education starts with early child care By Rudy Campos arly childhood development is an issue that faces us all in Sonoma County. In Cloverdale, Windsor and Healdsburg, only 38%, 34% and 12% of children, respectively, show up in kindergarten “ready to learn.” One nonprofit is leading the way to improve the school readiness of children in our region, the Healthcare Foundation Northern Sonoma County. Starting in Healdsburg, where recent data shows the most serious issues in the north county, the Healthcare Foundation is convening other nonprofits and providing backbone support to create an Early Childhood Council. The council brings together organizations and community leaders who understand the value of increasing readiness to learn in young children. Participating organizations joining the Healthcare Foundation on the council to date include AAUW, Children’s Museum Sonoma County, First 5 Sonoma County, Healdsburg Library, Health Action Healdsburg, HCNS, Healdsburg Education Foundation, Healdsburg Elementary School PTO, the PSST program and Rotary Healdsburg. Most recently, the Healthcare Foundation hosted Karen Kriesbergs, director of the Zanvyl and Isabel Krieger Fund and Brook Hisle, executive director of The Fund for Change, to educate the members of The Early Childhood Council about the value of investing in children

Seven things about fighting against addiction id you know 192 people die in America every day from drug overdose? That means 192 families lose someone every day. Survivors of people lost to drug addiction share their stories on the Addiction Policy Forum website to increase awareness. What these families learned could help save the life of someone you love. 1. Don’t ignore signs. Families often realize in hindsight that signs were there.
D
Moodiness may seem typical for adolescents, but these behaviors can signal addiction. Sudden mood changes, depression or hostility could be signs someone is struggling with substance abuse — at any age. If you suspect something is wrong, seek help. 2. Don’t wait for rock bottom. The earlier someone begins treatment, the better. “People are told the disease has to ‘run its course’ and to practice
‘tough love’ until they hit rock bottom. Now with fentanyl, rock bottom was a fatal overdose,” shared Justin, who lost a son, Aaron, at age 20. 3. Recovery takes time. Continue support after rehab. While many treatment programs only last weeks, recovery takes much longer. Karla, mother of Alicia, age 28, shares: “I wish I would've known that recovery is not three months, six months, a year in rehab. When they release someone from rehab, it's not the end. It's the very beginning.” Patients with a severe substance use disorder may need a three-tofive-year treatment plan, but most require a lifetime of support. 4. Use all available resources. Approaches for treating addiction include counseling, support groups, behavioral therapy and medication. Treatment plans depend on the patient's individual needs, the substances they use and severity of their illness. “Finding quality treatment takes teamwork. I would recommend anyone who is going through this to find the resources in their towns.
Connect with people and organizations that help families provide support to their loved ones and support each other,” said Katie, who lost her brother Zachary. 5. Overdoses are a warning. Contrary to expectation, people who experience a non-fatal overdose are at heightened risk of fatal overdose. Patients saved from a non-fatal overdose may wake up in withdrawal, angry and upset, which can lead to further substance use. Intervention and treatment is needed to prevent further overdoses. 6. Prevent early substance use. The earlier someone starts using, the greater their chance of developing addictions. Teenagers are more vulnerable to substances because their brains aren’t fully developed. Parents should model healthy behavior and talk to their children about the dangers of substance abuse. 7. Find support. Don’t wait to get help. If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use, call the Sonoma County Behavioral Services Department at 707-565-7460. — BPT

Don’t make your family guess health care wishes magine you are in an accident or a sudden illness leaves you unable to speak for yourself. Your loved one or caregiver may be faced with a difficult decision about whether to continue lifesaving measures. How does that person know what to do? Discuss, decide and document. These are three important steps to take to ensure your future care preferences are known and remove a burden from your family. Planning for major injuries or sudden illness may feel awkward, but timely conversations with family members can ensure your care preferences are honored and that your caregivers don’t have to guess what you might want. 1. Choose an advocate. This should be someone who knows you well, is calm in a crisis, understands your preferences, is not afraid to ask questions of care providers and will advocate on your behalf. An advocate can be a close relative or friend, but should be someone who knows you well and someone you trust to follow your wishes.
I
2. Talk with your advocate and doctor about your future care preferences. Let your advocate and doctors know what’s most important to you in life. What are the activities and abilities that make life most worth living for you? What are the things that give you comfort when you’re sick? When, if ever, should your advocate decide that it’s time to “let go�? And who else should they include in that decision? 3. Write it down. Formalize your decisions by putting them in writing. Give copies of your plan to your advocate, family members and doctors. Make sure they are aware of your plan, and take some time to go over the document with them. Update and review the plan whenever your situation or preferences change, and have the document placed in your medical records. Don’t make people guess what you want. Make your future care preferences known. — BPT

Tying together your yoga and eye health M ost of us know lifestyle changes can improve our overall health. Exercising more, eating more vegetables and not smoking all have an effect on blood flow in the body, which can affect our overall health. What many don't realize is that when blood flow is blocked or slows down, the health of our eyes can also be affected. That means that wearing neckties too tight or doing certain yoga poses, such as the downward dog, can increase pressure in the eyes, which can lead to an eye disease called glaucoma. Glaucoma has few warning signs, and is the leading cause of blindness for people over the age of 60. Being overweight or having high blood pressure can increase a person's risk for another common eye disease called age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss among people age 50 and older. Vision loss — or even worse, blindness — can negatively impact the quality of life, independence and the ability to do daily things such as driving, reading or seeing grandchildren. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that individuals 65 and older get an annual medical eye exam with an ophthalmologist, which is a medical doctor who specializes in medical and surgical eye care. Through comprehensive eye exams, ophthalmologists can check a person's eyes for hidden signs of eye disease, which may have no noticeable symptoms in the early stages.
Once diagnosed, ophthalmologists can provide treatments to help prevent vision loss. Many sight-stealing conditions can be prevented or slowed down with proper care and making simple lifestyle adjustments such as: 1. Avoid inverted postures in yoga. Studies show head-down positions can increase eye pressure and are not recommended for glaucoma patients. There are plenty of yoga exercises that don’t have this effect. 2. Avoid tight neckties. Researchers say that a too-tight necktie may increase the risk of glaucoma by increasing blood pressure inside the eyes. 3. Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, especially green, leafy ones. One study showed that people who ate more leafy vegetables have a 20% to 30% lower risk of developing glaucoma. Why? Nitrates in green vegetables can be converted to nitric oxide, which can improve blood flow and help regulate pressure inside the eye. 4. Exercise regularly. According to the National Eye Institute, eating a healthy diet and getting exercise have been shown in earlier studies to protect against AMD. A recent study showed that people who engaged in moderate to vigorous physical activity appear to have a 73% lower risk of developing glaucoma. This is because blood flow and pressure inside the eye may change with exercise.
