Look Under the Hood: Causes and Solutions for Acid Reflux and IBS
Think about the basic mechanics of your car. It has an engine that needs to run smoothly in order to keep all the other systems moving along. And most automotive hoses are designed to move fuel, air, wastes, and information in one direction only without blockages and mishaps. Well, your body operates in much the same way. The "engine" that runs everything else is your digestive system.

3 Ways to Avoid a Personal Energy Crisis
Patients tell me a lack of energy makes the day feel long, difficult, and unproductive. Does this pattern sound familiar? First, lack of energy leads to a loss of sharpness in focus and memory. Then, especially in the late afte oon when blood sugar gets low, less than optimal mindset and mood set in. Next come worry and guilt for not accomplishing enough, which in turn lead to mental weariness, further bringing down health and well-being. It quickly becomes an exhausting, vicious cycle. The good news is, you can break the pattern.

Sleep: Do You Dream?
Do you dream? Good question, especially if you are wondering about the quality and quantity of your sleep. A "yes" answer is what we're looking for. Remember the four stages of sleep? Phase One is the preparation stage during which your brainwaves and blood pressure slow and muscles relax. Phase Two is marked by further physical relaxation and increased brain activity including REM ("rapid eye movement"), which often leads to vivid dreams. Phases Three and Four are the revitalizing and healing deep sleep stages during which your brainwaves reach their slowest, most regular pattern.

You know what happens when your car battery runs out of juice? Your car dies. No lights, no engine, no movement. How does it happen? Maybe you leave your lights on…or maybe you just keep going and going without giving your battery a chance to recharge.
The solution: Jumpstart your car.
Your body works very much in the same way. It can run for a while on the same battery, but if you don’t give it a chance to recharge, or leave your car lights “always on” then you may run out of energy. This can lead to a lot of health problems and a general feeling of being run-down.
If you don’t find answers to why this unfortunate situation happens, you might find yourself repeatedly stopped in your tracks—without the boost that you need to keep going.
My Jumpstart Intensive Days are designed to help you get back on track with your body's natural ability to heal itself. You'll learn to reconnect with your intuitive abilities to get past personal obstacles and on the right path towards extreme well-being.
