Why You Should Consult Alternative Health Professionals

Why You Should Consult Alternative Health Professionals
Allopathic medical care is widely available and more likely to be covered by insurance, so why do I recommend *almost* always consulting with an alternative health practitioner? Does it make sense to go through the extra expense and effort of finding another provider when you could simply walk into the hospital or clinic that is available in just about every town of any size.
Though I agree that medical care has its place, it has some significant shortcomings that prevent it from providing the help that it should.

Questioning Vaccines: A Guide to Making Informed Decisions

Questioning Vaccines: A Guide to Making Informed Decisions
Questioning vaccines is becoming more common and is a healthy and normal part of your healthcare plan. You should never put anything into your body without knowing the risks and benefits, including short and long-term side effects and common and less common reactions.
Unfortunately, the medical system today does not properly inform people of the risks of vaccines. They only push the benefits and often make people feel guilty for hesitating, as if they are putting the whole planet in danger by refusing or delaying vaccines.
As a natural health professional, I get asked about vaccines a lot by people who don't feel right about them but don't know how to make the best decisions for their families.
Here's what I tell them.

A Christian View on "Occult" Natural Healing Modalities

A Christian View on "Occult" Natural Healing Modalities
It's a common concern I hear about. When Christians start delving into the world of more natural options regarding their health, they can run into a lot of confusing information. Some of the practices that seem like they could help are condemned as new age or occult.
When this happens, you need to take a careful look at what the practice is versus what people have made it to be.

Meet Melissa Denelsbeck

 

For years, I was trapped in a fog, never feeling 100%, always tired but too stressed out to get a good night’s sleep, struggling through headaches 3-4 times each week. Almost every afternoon at work, I would hit that mid-afternoon slump and be unable to keep my eyes open. Often, my headaches would start around this same time and last through the rest of the day. All I wanted to do was go home and sleep, but when I went to bed, my thoughts would race, and I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep.

I felt like I was stuck in a never-ending cycle of fatigue – tired all day and wide awake at night, and the headaches just made it all more difficult to deal with. I pushed on as well as I could through the sleepiness and the pain, but I never felt like I was functioning at full capacity.

Then, I started making some changes in my life and becoming aware of what I was putting in and on my body. Over time, I realized that my headaches were becoming less frequent, and my sleep quality, energy, and mental clarity were improving.

Now, a couple years later, I feel my energy levels remain steady from the time I wake up until I go to bed. I am able to quiet my anxious thoughts and fall asleep quickly at night. And the headaches? They’re so infrequent that I can’t even say how often they come – maybe 3-5 a year?

It wasn’t even that difficult a change to make. I just swapped out products in my life that were contributing to my bad health, and I replaced them with versions that enhance my wellness instead.

It’s a step-by-step process that you can take at your own pace, and I am here to be your guide on the journey and empower you to take back your own health!
