Slowing down

Here are more suggestions to begin thinking about how to slow down your day:



Leave your watch on the bedside table.

Take the scenic route.

Sit for a moment with your eyes closed while you start your computer.

Check email only twice a day or at certain points in the day, but not over and over every chance you get.

Don't pack your schedule so tightly that there's no time for a short walk.

Light candles before you start to cook dinner.

Add one moment here and there for slowness; it can be done simply and will have a profound effect on your wellbeing.



Feel free to leave a comment to let me know how you added slowness to your day.

hungry all the time...

Hello everyone. It has been about a week of following (not super close, but following) the list of food sensitivities that my doctor had me do blood work for. By eating the food that my body doesnt react negatively to, I actually feel full. I'm eating less, snacking less, trying new foods and enjoying what I eat. I wanted to share this great feeling with everyone! I did the IGG Sensitivity Test by Geonva Labs covered by my insurance. I highly recommend everyone take this test. I did the Alergy test and nothing came up, but with the sensitivity test I found foods that I eat ofter, foods I thought were good for me. Good luck and happy testing.

New town... New Doctor...

I've been in California for a few months and started looking for a doctor. I wanted to see a doctor in the feild and someone in my town or at least nearby. I searched and at two different points received a referral to Dr. Hirani.

As you know I believe in the biomedical side of health or as some call the alternative side. For me it's Holisitc. Well this doctor helped. She was going to the DAN! conference that weekend so she said she'd look more into the Biofilm Protocal and is on it herself now, so in a couple months she will take on that part of my health too.

My first visit was overwhelming, but all doable. I made a follow up appointment for a month to get everything started. She recommened a book and supplements. Before I was to leave the office I was to have my blood drawn, pee in a cup and given instructions for more tests to be done at home.

Mind you I really like and respect my last doctors, specialist, etc. who opened the door into me seeing what is going on with me, but to have a one stop shop was great. Left there and felt better about taking this on.

Doing the tests at home... FIRST, let me say all those moms who have done stool samples for your children... You need to be added to the list of Mother Warriors, that was an experience, one I will never forget and not looking forward to the follow up.

But to hear the results at our next visit made it all worth it.

I was given a list of foods I am sensitive to, a cute card to carry in my wallet and science based evidence to prove why I am feeling the way I'm feeling. That is something I can not put a price tag on, so for people out there who can't justify spending the money with a doctor who can show you evidence of why you're feeling the way you feel or give you evidence behind why your child may be behaving the way he is, you aren't ready to get started or for things to get better.

Don't say you won't do it just know NOW isn't the time to do it.

I'm excited and will share all that's going on from my low thyroid, low DHEA, yeast problems, wheat sensitivity, adernal glad problem, biofilm protocal... to name some concerns my tesats revealed...

I highly recommend Dr. Harini look her up http://www.drhirani.com/. Tell her Tia sent you.
