DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU WERE BORN IN KETOSIS?

Your mother’s milk was designed to keep you in ketosis in order to support your fast growing brain! As you were weaned, your mother gave you foods high in carbs and low in fats and you switched to using the insulin/glucose pathway to produce fuel for energy.

Recently, there has been a tremendous amount of research on the astounding benefits of being in ketosis. Being in ketosis drastically reduces inflammation, burns your fat for fuel and increases energy and mental clarity. It is being used by the top doctors in the world to kill cancer cells by depriving them of their favorite fuel, glucose. It is all being used to treat autoimmune, neurological disorders, and many other illnesses.

If you would like to learn about the benefits of living in ketosis and how to achieve ketosis, sign up for the KetoClean Eating Plan – “KEEP”! To receive a KEEP Invitation email Shanna@FlowWell.org for the current invitation. Dr. Linda Huxtable will take you through The Keto Clean Lifestyle to work towards optimal health.

Don’t we all already know we are supposed to exercise, to work out, to go to the gym, …as a part of our personal wellness program?  But are you consistently doing this?

Did you realize that inactivity, according to the W.H.O., is the fourth biggest killer of adults in the world?

Did you know that sitting kills more people than HIV and is more treacherous than parachuting?

Did you realize that sitting can be a primary cause of cancer, heart disease, obesity, arthritis, metabolic syndrome, depression, mental decline, accelerated aging, and even low sex drive?

Imagine if there were a simple solution that almost every human being could easily incorporate into their day to solve this concerning sitting issue!

Well, you do not have to imagine any more, because the solution is simple and very do-able for most every human being, as you will soon see here.

Listed as Harvard’s first of the top five exercises is WALKING!  If you can physically walk, you can incorporate the solution to the sitting issue by daily walking. You see, just walking 30 to 60 minutes most every day reduces your risks of cancers, of Alzheimers, of dementia, of depression, and even helps you detoxify!  However there is a secret to this solution.  The “secret sauce” is consistency.  Walking 3 hours one day a week, opposed to walking 30 minutes each day for 6 days, is not the solution.  Working out in the gym 1 or 2 days a week opposed to doing a shorter workouts 5 days a week doesn’t work as well either.  It’s the consistency of moving your body every day that produces the amazing results.

How about these ideas:

• Instead of looking for a parking space close to your destination, why not park way far out to create time to walk!
• Jazz up your 30 minute walk by trying “interval fast paced walking.”  Provided your MD approves, start out warming up for about 5 minutes; begin a short 30-second burst of longer strides and a faster pace; then return to moderate walking for 2 minutes and repeat.
• Mix things up by adding in jumping jacks, skipping, and crab walking, which is bending your knees and taking long low strides.
• Put a rebounder (mini-trampoline) in your office and when the weather is too bad outside, bounce!  Rebounding may be the most effective piece of fitness equipment on the planet, allowing you core-strengthening and muscle-toning while experiencing the cardio-pumping workout.  It’s gentle on your joints too.

Are you ready to commit to a daily routine? Even just a mere 20 minutes a day can make a huge difference.  But go for 30 to 45 minutes when you can.

Did you know that the inventor of the treadmill desk, Dr. James Levine, who is the director of the Mayo Clinic-Arizona State University Obesity Solutions Initiative, coined the term: “Sitting is the new smoking.”  Dr. Levine explains that MOVEMENT, i.e. walking and/or most any exercise, can drastically turn around the “sitting too much” illnesses.

How can daily walking affect brain fog?  Can movement actually “grow your brain?”  Can walking be a substitute for taking antidepressants?  What about weight control?  Can walking really affect your energy levels?  Get these answers and many more here.  (https://yourhealthdefender.com/sitting-is-the-new-smoking/).

Oral/ Gum inflammation is epidemic and easily identified on thermal imaging. Routine trips to the dentist for deep scaling, cleanings, and check-ups are important in maintaining your gums and overall oral health.

It is imperative to perform at home care and have regular thermography examinations of the mouth.
Many patients have received advice on how to improve their thermography screenings based on current oral inflammation findings in their Thermography reports. If you would like guidance on what questions to ask a dentist or tips on how to reduce your oral inflammation, sign up for our Full Body Detox program by clicking this link.

Oil pulling cannot cure infection in the mouth. It can however help to reduce inflammation after infection has been resolved. Oil pulling is an excellent habit to aid in preventing harmful infections.

Coconut oil pulling

1. Brush your teeth and floss correctly.

2. Scrape your tongue with a tongue scraper. These first 2 steps will start you off with a clean environment.

3. Swish in your mouth one teaspoon of organic coconut oil (can also use sesame) for twenty minutes a day. Many sites say timing is key. Add a Young Living essential oil. Many oils out there cannot be taken internally. Please read labels carefully if you use other oil companies. Read about the Young Living Seed to Seal process that explains the high standards of YL essential oils. For Young Living oil pulling, there’s a reference guide about YL essential oils to tell you which ones are beneficial/safe to ingest. Not all of them can be taken internally. For oil pulling you could use one to two drops of one of these at a time: Thieves, Purification, Frankincense, Melaleuca Alternifolia (tea tree oil) OR Peppermint with the carrier oil (coconut or sesame). You can use only the carrier oil if you want.

4. Spit coconut oil mix out in the garbage. You do not want to spit it out in the sink and clog your drains.

5. Give your teeth a second light brush.

6. Rinse with hydrogen peroxide or Thieves mouth wash for a finishing touch.

7. Repeat this process daily until optimal Thermography images are achieved.

Looking to use Young Living essential oils to detox your body? Call us to schedule a one on one class to learn about the everyday essential oils.

When we think of health most of us think of our own bodies however, another very important factor is the condition of our homes, more precisely the health of the air we are breathing it. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans spend 90 percent of their time indoors-at home or offices. I have seen in thermograpic screenings, from sinus infections to chronic inflammation improved tremendously after looking into the indoor air quality.

So what determines air health? Mostly is the amount of air circulation, humidity and the so called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) inside a home. The air outside is probably cleaner than the air inside; therefore always open the windows even in the winter months for at least 20 minutes. This will help reduce CO2 levels as well. The humidity levels should be between 30% to 50% and you might need a thermostat to determine it. Most houses will also need a dehumidifier to keep at this level.

Then there are the VOCs which are an off-gas from pesticides, cleaning chemicals, paint, non-stick pans, upholstery, mattresses, particle board furniture and some types of flooring. Since the major surfaces in a home come from furniture and floors we will discuss these two items:

Furniture whenever possible, choose solid wood furniture over pressed wood products. Bookcases, dressers, cabinets and other seemingly “wood” furniture are often made from particleboard, plywood or medium-density fiberboard (MDF)—all of which outgas formaldehyde. Also consider the finish on solid wood furniture. Ideally, you want furniture with low-VOC water-based or wax finishes.

For floors that are a variety of options: Tile floors, hardwood and linoleum floors are probably the best options. Tile floors are generally a safe, non-toxic flooring option that is easy to maintain. It’s important to ask the distributor and installer specific questions about the safety of the grout, the ventilation process used during installation and any other materials used that could cause toxic fumes. Hardwood floors surface allows for dust and other allergens to be removed easily. True hardwood flooring is made from solid wood harvested from trees. It’s important to choose a non-toxic finish when installing new flooring. Linoleum flooring is made from all-natural and biodegradable materials including linseed oil, cork dust, pine resin and wood floor. It is very resilient and can last up to 30-40 years. Carpet and Vinyl are not a good choice. New carpet installation is a huge contributor to indoor air pollution which includes formaldehyde, benzene and stain repellents. Vinyl petroleum-based synthetic product, made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin along with additives, such as plasticizers, stabilizers, pigments, and fillers. A recent study found that most vinyl flooring, made from reprocessed plastic, contained toxic phthalates, lead, cadmium, brominated flame retardants, and other toxic chemicals. These chemicals can contribute to indoor air pollution by drifting out of the flooring and into the air and dust inside homes.

Is the quality of your home contributing to your health? Find out if the heat signatures in your body are indicating that there’s room for improvement. With medical thermal imaging you can see heat imbalances in that body that indicate need for further investigation. Thermography is possible early cancer detection and ideally used for preventing future issues. Get an over all health analysis with the technicians at Flow Well with medical thermal imaging. Visit www.FlowWell.org to schedule an appointment or contact us for more information.

Additional ideas:

– Use a doormat to prevent dirt from entering the house and always ask people to remove shoes when they visit.

– Mop or vacuum at least once a week and avoid carpet in the bedrooms. Wash sheets and blankets once a week.

-Use good quality dust-mite-proof pillow, mattress, and box spring covers in the bedroom, organic if possible. Keep clothing off the floor and shoes out of the room.

– Choose unscented, plant-based detergents, or go old-school and use castile soap or washing soda and borax to clean your clothing.

Lastly, add plants to help improve the air:

Aloe Vera: It is easy to grow and filtrates benzene which is commonly found in paint and certain chemical cleaner.

Peace Lily: It is a beautiful plant and reduces the levels of mold spores. In bathrooms, the Peace Lily can help to keep shower tiles and curtains free from mildew and the plant can absorb harmful vapors from alcohol and acetone.

Spider plant: The leaves grow quickly and help to absorb harmful substances like mold and other allergens, so it is the perfect plant for those who have common dust allergies. It also helps to absorb small traces of formaldehyde and carbon monoxide.

Breast health is a hot topic in the public and in the scientific community. PubMed alone offers more than 340,000 studies related to the breast and cancer. The topic brings fear and anxiety to almost every woman. So much of the media attention on breasts is about cancer and not necessarily about breast health. There are a variety of lifestyle changes we can employ for our overall health, but what about breast health? Something most women do every day specific to the breast is wearing a bra, but does this practice support breast health?

A 1991 study conducted at Harvard University showed premenopausal women who do not wear bras had half the risk of breast cancer compared with bra users. Then in 1995, medical anthropologist Sydney Ross Singer and his wife, Soma Grismaijer, conducted an epidemiological study with 5,000 women and wrote their findings in a book called Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras. Their research showed breast cancer risk dramatically increased in women who wore their bras more than 12 hours a day.[TC1]  Important to note, this was an epidemiological study and therefore only shows a correlation, not causation.

A Chinese study in 2009 revealed that sleeping without a bra dropped a woman’s risk of breast cancer by 60 percent. In 2011, a study in Venezuela found bras that left indentations or red marks on the body, especially underwire and push-up bras, were a risk, particularly in fibrocystic breast disease. In 2015, another study in Africa, where a segment of the population wears bras only on important occasions, found a significant correlation between cancer and tight-fitting bras and duration of wear.

Later that year, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) performed its own research in the U.S. and concluded no relationship. This study only included women 55 and older, all of whom wore bras; therefore, the study did not have a good control group to compare the data. NCI and Susan G. Komen reference this one study when they deny the link between bra wearing and cancer. Even the most skeptical would not jump to a conclusion so quickly based on only one study.

While we wait for more research, it is a good idea to take a look at the breast physiology to understand it. Wearing bras, especially tight bras, will restrict circulation in the breast area. The breast tissue is normally flushed by clear lymph fluid into large clusters of lymph nodes residing in the armpits and upper chest. Lymphatic vessels are very thin and therefore sensitive to pressure. By compressing them with bras, less oxygen and fewer nutrients are delivered to the cells, while waste products are not able to be flushed out, which can lead to inflammation in the area. Therefore, it is good practice not to restrict this area for long periods of the day, and especially at night.

Shana Rivera has seen proof of the relationship between wearing tight bras and inflammation in her thermography practice. Thermography is a safe screening tool used to assess heat signatures and inflammation in the body. It may lead to possible early cancer detection, and early detection can save lives.
