Helping you make your own decisions Naturopath Jody Stanislaw By KAREN BOSSICK
T
hink house calls are a thing of the past? Think again. Jody Stanislaw makes house calls—in the name of keeping you healthy so you don’t need a doctor. And she designs individual and group retreats, as well. Stanislaw, a naturopathic physician, is the founder of Sun Valley F.I.T. (Focused Individual. Transformation). She meets clients where they’re at, devising tailor-made programs to cure what ails them. And she custom-designs private health retreats as well—for everything from a ladies’ weekend getaway to a husband-wife retreat. Stanislaw was just seven when she decided to become a doctor—that’s when she developed diabetes, which plunged her headlong into the world of needle testing and waiting rooms.

When it came time to pursue her own stethoscope, she decided to become a naturopathic doctor. It required all the requisite biochemistry, organic chemistry and physiology courses she would have taken pursuing traditional medicine, she says. But it gave her greater flexibility to help the body heal naturally with herbal medicine, exercise, nutrition and counseling, rather than suppressing symptoms with a pain pill. “I don’t want to be a doctor who tells you what to do. I want to be a doctor who does it with you,” she said. “I love to teach to empower people.” After getting her doctorate degree at Bastyr University, an acclaimed holistic medical school in Seattle, Stanislaw went to Thailand. There she worked at a five-star health spa that catered to wealthy clients from the Middle East, Japan, China and Australia who were willing to pay $1,000 a day to have someone dictate to them how to exercise, relax and eat from a menu that included such dishes as prawn salad and stir-fried

lamb chops with oyster sauce. “I fell in love with seeing how people felt after a few days away from stress and phone calls,” she recounted. “One man owned a hotel in Egypt where he worked 15-hour days, seven days a week, and he thought he was going to collapse. We fed him fresh vegetables and insisted that he exercise. He came for three days and stayed for two weeks, leaving so full of energy. He said he never realized he could feel so good.” Stanislaw returned to the

United States determined to offer others the same. And she decided the perfect place would be Sun Valley, a place where she had vacationed for many years. Today, Stanislaw preaches what she calls The Four Pillars of Health—wholesome nutrition, regular movement, relaxation and adequate sleep and emo-
tional well-being—in both her individual consultation and her group retreats. She meets clients in the comfort of their own homes. And she customizes group and corporate retreats that could include such things as an organic breakfast

n Feb. 1, 2010, Alex Margolin, voted Best Trainer in the Bay Area, and Kyl Samway, voted Best Trainer in the Valley, opened 5B CrossFit, Blaine County’s premiere CrossFit training facility (www.5bcrossfit.com). Samway and Margolin have created a health and fitness center and community where people of all fitness levels learn the CrossFit method (www.crossfit.com). CrossFit is a unique training philosophy that incorporates Olympic and barbell lifting, basic gymnastics and forms of traditional cardio exercise in combinations that deliver unparalleled health and fitness. CrossFit uses only funtional movements that are natural and essential to daily activities and sports. The 5B CrossFit program teaches members how to improve 10 general physical skills: flexibility, strength, cardiorespiratory endurance, stamina, power, speed, accuracy, agility, coordination and balance. As well, regular attendees, whether top-level skiers or lifelong couch potatoes, will

see marked boosts in capacity and performance. Proficiency at these general skills creates a solid fitness base from which athletes and non-athletes alike can climb to new levels of performance. Samway and Margolin create all programming for the gym and a coach is present at every workout to explain and teach the technical aspects of the movements. The true beauty of these small group workouts is two-
fold: they change daily (always challenging and never boring), and they are infinitely scalable (anyone can do them, regardless of age or fitness ability). All clients begin with three private Elements classes to teach the basic movements, and so that the coaches get to know the unique needs of clients before they become regular participants.

hat is colon hydrotherapy? Colon hydrotherapy is an extended and more complete form of an enema. The concept involves the mechanical process of infusing warm filtered water into the rectum with the objective of cleansing and balancing the colon. This procedure removes fecal material from the colon walls and dilutes the bacterial toxin concentration in

the large intestine. The therapeutic effects of colon hydrotherapy are improved muscle tone, which facilitates peristaltic action and enhances the absorption of nutrients from the cecum and ascending colon while minimizing the absorption of toxic waste material. The cleansing effect of colon hydrotherapy reduces stagnation and subsequent bacterial prolifera-
tion in the colon and helps to maintain the harmony of the intestinal flora in promoting optional health. The fastest way to improve the body’s immune system is to clean the colon. Colon hydrotherapy cleanses and rejuvenates the portion of the immune system that resides in the intestinal tract. twp

Sun Valley’s Nordic phenom Mike Sinnott is currently second in the overall SuperTour standings as the finals head into Sun Valley in late March. If he manages to win the SuperTour Overall he will earn a free trip to the World Cup in Fall 2011. Sinnot placed sixth in the 10K Free and fifth in the 15K classic at the SuperTour in Minneapolis this past weekend. Only 1 second separated him from the podium and only 10 seconds from first. Four Olympic Development Team athletes travelled to Soldier Hollow for the University of Utah Invitational and did a great job racing on the col-
lege circuit which is littered with fast American and European skiers. Nicole DeYong placed 4th twice, Matt Gelso led the men with a 3rd and 4th place. Other athletes with a local connection who were racing included Miles Havlick, who won the Men’s 10K Free; Alexa Turzian (5th/3rd), and Reid Pletcher (5th/8th). In Alpine Skiing, Jordan Fitzgerald and Will Harder have been invited to race in the Topolino Shoot-Out. Winners of this regional event will travel to Italy to compete in the Topolino race which is universally regarded as the “world championships” for this age group (13-14).

Dao Communications A
Dayle Ohlau • (208) 309-1219
s a teacher and student of life through communications and yoga, I am reminded of ‘suffering’. It is taught in Buddhism that life is suffering. With this thought comes the idea of compassion…”to suffer with.” To be able to embody the feeling of compassion for all students, I believe, is to know that all other positive qualities will emerge from that place. From the Tao Te Ching: “I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. Compassion toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.” In my day-to-day observances of other people and their karmicinduced actions, I recognize micro-judgments and observe thought processes in relation to those judgments, and remember that we are experiential beings playing out a role in life that is temporal and lesson based. “It is not I, but the Spirit within, who

does these things I see before me.” This beautiful principle guides me through my teaching, as I connect with, and honor, my students. Dayle can be reached at (208) 309-1219. Classes are forming
now for Non-Violent Communication. Dayle teaches yoga at FitWorks in Hailey at the Community Campus – and is now taking appointments for Healing Touch Therapy. twp

identified their Four Seasons spa as a “necessity” in their busy lives, providing an opportunity for a moment of stillness and reflection, thereby promoting more complete relaxation for a better night’s sleep. Such therapeutic ritual has the capacity to induce a peace and calmness at the conclusion of the day. An alternative tradition advocates sunrise application of hydrotherapy prior

eff Roth’s first year as a dentist led quickly to a moment of decision: find a different way to practice or change careers. Doing dentistry in a multi-office practice centered entirely on serving patients with HMO dental plans, Dr. Roth felt like part of an assembly line. No time was provided for true care or relationships with patients or team. Fortunately, Roth found another way. He opened a new practice, focusing on relationships and health with a relaxed office environment—a calmer atmosphere. Bringing office environment and goals into alignment with his original reasons for becoming a dentist led to more fulfillment for patients and team. The team comes first. “We believe the team must be talented, have a “just help” attitude and be happy and secure before they can truly help others. Health is an entire lifestyle, after all,” says Dr. Roth. This great team seeks to truly listen to those who place their trust in them. The dentist sees one patient at a time and insists on the principle “never treat a stranger.” Providing all aspects of dental care, the team is expert at implants and restoring natural, beautiful smiles and a healthy, comfortably functioning mouth and body. The office uses the latest technologies and techniques proven to improve the dental experience and level of care for their patients. Patients benefit from the team’s dedication to contwp tinuing education.

s there anything better than a good night’s sleep? As Americans are pushed to work longer hours for less pay, sleep habits have changed for the worse. Just ask Scott Shane who has opened the first mattress store in the Valley in Hailey called Wood River Mattress. “Your mattress is without a doubt the most important piece of furniture in your home,” he said. “You spend one-third of your life asleep. It’s where you rejuvenate. You might even call it a rejuvenation chamber. Studies have shown that the average adult needs seven to nine hours of sleep each night for optimum health and to be effective in their working day. Studies also show that those that get six hours or less a night are 12 percent more likely to suffer from a premature death. There is also $3-$5 billion a year attributed to lost revenues due to worker sleep deprivation. Without enough sleep you will lack focus, concentration and creativity and it will influence what kind of a day you’ll have. The brain needs to get the deeper levels of sleep,” he said. Much of this is achieved by the mattress you sleep on. Shane carries three types at his store: latex foam, memory foam and the older metal-coil mattresses. The foam mattress, although more expensive, has attributes that make it more desirable. The foam mattress allows you to sleep without putting stress on the body’s pressure points like the hips and the shoulders. The key is better circulation or blood

flow. Coil mattresses, although fine at first, can cut off circulation as the mattress and the metal springs age. If you cut off circulation, which the foam mattresses do not, the body needs to toss and turn to get the circulation moving again. The brain has to do this job and in turn wakes you up from deeper REM levels of sleep. Because the foam puts no pressure on blood vessels, you can sleep in one spot for a longer period of time and thus achieve a deeper, more restful, sleep for the night. To find the best mattress for you, take a visit to Shane’s attractive new store in downtown Hailey. While conducting this interview, business was rather brisk and one customer remarked how much fun it was to try out the different beds. “The one thing I can tell you is that you have to try out the mattress before you buy it,” Shane said. Shane is a fourth-generation Idahoan and each generation has worked in the furniture business, beginning with his
great-grandfather at the turn of the century. After a while in Boise, he saw an opportunity in the Valley and decided to open up shop here. He had been visiting Sun Valley since he was a child. “We felt we could fill a need and provide the Valley with mattresses. The idea is that you wouldn’t have to go to Boise or Twin Falls and the great thing is that we are the same price or cheaper and that we will deliver to your home. So here we are. So far the market has been really strong and active. A lot of people really need beds.” Prices can range from $188 to $4000 and the foam mattresses have a 20year warranty and the coil beds a 10-year warranty. Right now the store carries mattresses and foundations—called a set— “but sometimes a person just needs a mattress. Toward spring, we will be ramping up with bedding accessories, pillows and mattress accessories.” For more information call Shane at 788-4438. twp

But I also want them to leave feeling inspired to continue what they’ve started when they go home. And I’ll follow up with them with weekly phone calls,” she said.
Make a change
There are some little changes that people can make to achieve a feeling of better health, Dr. Jody Stanislaw says: • Start out by making a promise that you will have vegetables at every meal. • Eat protein at breakfast, such as eggs, nuts or cheese on toast. Toss out the cereal, except for slow-cooking oatmeal—it contains too much sugar. • Don’t eat anything that comes in a box and contains more than six ingredients. • Move any way you can. And do a little more moving every day. • Add a five-minute walk. One of the best ways to cleanse your body of toxins from polluted water and other sources of pollution is by exhaling, Stanislaw says. And you exhale more when you breathe hard during exercise. • Keep yourself on track by writing up a list of the benefits you get from eating well and exercising. Tape it to your bathroom mirror where you will see it every day. • Sleep! It builds up the cells that have been damaged by the hustle-bustle of everyday life. And it burns more calories sleeping than sitting in a chair. • Avoid emails and TV as you prepare for sleep. Instead, drink chamomile tea, which calms nerves.
High cholesterol?
Reduce it by eating lots of vegetables—the fiber acts as a binder for cholesterol, allowing it to be carried out of the body. Take psyllium husk powder, a fiber supplement, before meals to make you feel full sooner and eat less. Eat lots of garlic—or, at least, a daily supplement that contains 4,000 micrograms of allicin. Drink at least one cup of green tea per day. Use lots of turmeric spice. Reduce the amount of meat you eat. Take Vitamin C to heal the cells. And use a CoQ10 supplement to improve the functioning of your heart.
High blood pressure?
Lower it with a high-potency multivitamin, 100 milligrams of CoQ10, 1,200 milligrams of magnesium, garlic, 1,000 milligrams of Vitamin C, 400 International Units of Vitamin E and a tablespoon of flaxseed oil a day. Get regular exercise, adequate sleep, reduce stress, reduce caffeine and alcohol, eliminate fried foods and high-fat foods, reduce your daily intake of salt, sugar, canned or packaged foods, chocolate and refined white starches, such as bread, rice and pasta. Increase your consumption of fish, such as salmon and tuna, while reducing red meat and other animal fat. Increase fiber intake by increasing fruits and vegetables. Bananas, watermelon, carrots, spinach, parsley, celery, raw garlic, raw onion and beetroot all contain nutrients that lower blood pressure, as does green tea. Close your eyes, take three deep breaths. Then put your hands on your abdomen and focus your attention on breathing twp into your belly.
