The Mighty Sweet Potato YUM!

Sweet Potatoes are Wonderful

 

Every morning I turn the oven to 400 degrees and place 2 or 3 sweet potatoes in to bake because they add such a delicious treat to my day.

Nutrition:

Vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Potassium and Fiber.

Are sweet potatoes good for your eyesight? Yes!

Sweet potatoes are full of Beta-carotene, which is a carotenoid and antioxidant that promotes night vision and overall good eyesight.


Can diabetics eat sweet potatoes?  Yes, in moderation.

 
Although the Glycemic load is high, the amount of fiber slows down the absorption of sugars.

Take them to work and send them to school with your child as a healthy alternative to processed food.

Real food, great nutrition.

Never eat them raw, they will give you gas!

Over 45 and Starting to Struggle with Weight?

A woman's production of progesterone begins to wane 5-10 years before menopause making her vulnerable to estrogen dominance. 


 More estrogen than progesterone means more fat cells and more pounds and weight that is almost impossible to lose.


 Extra weight will affect thyroid function and slow you down even more.


 Schedule a personal consult by phone or facetime to make changes the body needs to drop this weight and be yourself again.

CHRONIC UTI'S & IC

If you have been treated for a UTI several times in the last couple of years, it is quite likely that it was never eradicated and will never resolve.  Burning, urgency, and constantly feeling unwell.

Are you finding Urologists unhelpful ?

Urologists do their best with how they are trained, but ultimately their tool box of care is quite small.  Culture, Antibiotics, Culture, antibiotics, Elmiron, Cystoscopy and on and on. End of story.

HaveYou have tried everything?

d-Mannose, Cranberry juice, Uva Ursi, and so on and you still have symptoms?

What about Infectious Disease Doctors?

Are they treating you until your kidneys have are damaged or you end up in the emergency room with serious drug related reactions? They try but just don't know what else to do.

The Answer is Here

After years of research and suffering multi-drug resistant infections, I found the answers that no doctor will ever tell you about even if they know.  The only way you are going to get to a cure is by someone taking you step by step through the process of educating you.  

Antibiotic resistance is on the rise and doctors are terrified as deaths from MRSA, Klebsiella, and other superbugs are mounting each day.  Every 15 minutes someone dies from a drug resistant infection.  

TELEMEDICINE:  To set up a consult with me, email or call and I will explain how this works.

I personally spent five years of my life searching for someone or something that would stop the endless cycle of antibiotics, pain and disablement.  The choices were there but no one told me.    















 






Telemedicine for Wellness Has Arrived

Comprehensive Health Care

 The Wellness Place 


For twenty-five years, I have been teaching  people of all ages how to thrive and be free of illness at any age.

 Menopause, insomnia, arthritis, osteoporosis, hormone imbalance, restless legs, back pain, depression, etc. are challenges we face that are not always met so well with conventional medicine.  Most can be reversed or put in remission including obesity, diabetes, incontinence and heart disease.

 Check my site often for health tips and information you can use to make your life better and more enjoyable. Most insurance is accepted.!

 Care and time is personalized to get to know each unique person and that is you! 760.766.6223  Make an appointment soon to restore your health.. Comprehensive health care by phone, skype, or zoom.

In the comfort of your home

No longer do we have to get dressed, fight the traffic and sit in a waiting room waiting for the doctor, especially when we don't feel well.


Let your health concerns be known to a practitioner in the safety and comfort of your bedroom, cozy kitchen, or your living room.


If you are battling a serious disease like fibro, depression, extreme fatigue or any number of illnesses,  just getting out of the house can be  a major undertaking.


With our current health and economic crisis, affordability is a major consideration and one I have addressed at The Wellness Place.  The fee is based on your particular situation.


One of the best aspects of my care for you is that before we speak,I will know  much about you and what you need.  This is done by sending you a questionnaire and reviewing your lab work.,


Feel free to email me with any questions you have, and tell me something about yourself.  Tell me what you want, and how you would like your health to change and it will be done.

Leg Cramps in the middle of the Night

Take 300 mg. of Magnesium Glycinate in the morning and 300 mg. before bed and they should resolve.  Magnesium deficiency is a problem for millions of people because of soil mineral depletions that affect our vegetables.

Who Needs a Health Coach?!

image1413

Bring a Health Coach into Your Life

 

I don't try to fix my car for fear it may never run again.  So, I enlist the help of a professional.  

Every baseball player wanting to excel has a coach that can spot weak points, improve performance, and be a fresh pair of eyes.

Whether you need conventional medicine which includes labs, diagnostics, pills, pills, and more pills, surgery and just managing disease, or real holistic, getting to the root of illness and cure, you need professional care.


Insurance will pay for most conventional medicine but rarely for a real, healing, curative approach.


One day both forms of medicine will be under the same umbrella, but don't hold your breath.  Big Pharma will never let that happen, simply too much money to be lost.


By the way, we do not have a Health Care System, we have a Disease Care System.   Managing diseases and telling patients they will have a disease for the rest of their lives, and will be on medications the entire time is the plan.  Wow!  And we fall for that. 


 You should expect to get well, really well,  Is that too much to ask of our medical care system?  No, it isn't.  But it isn't going to happen.


If the side effects of medications are just too much for you, and your meds are making you puff up and gain weight, or making you tired, consider another way, a better way to live, to be healthy and thrive.  Add a health coach to your life.


And lastly, take responsibility for your health, and do everything to make your body happy because if you don't, it has a way of biting you in the tutu!!!!!l    lol!

How to get the Best Night's Sleep of your life!

image1414

 Deep restorative sleep is necessary to allow the body to repair itself and give you the most energy possible for the next day.

Although there are many factors influencing peaceful slumber, here are just a few causes and solutions:

Turn off the computer and the phone and unplug the router.  

Don't eat after 6 p.m.   Digestion takes a lot of energy and will keep you awake.

Medications.  

Avoid sugar

Balance your hormones

Good Nutrition. Fruits and vegetables

If none of these apply to you, a proper evaluation and complete history may be needed.to determine exactly why sleep doesn't come easily.  

Make an appointment at The Wellness Place to get to the root of your sleeplessness.  Stop the wide-eyed wake-ups at one, two, or three am's and feel like the person you used to be with all the energy and life you had as a younger woman.





12 Week Weight Loss Plan

image1415

Why 12 weeks?


The body makes changes slowly and you will often find inches going before pounds.  Achieving the weight you dream about should be a lifetime success not a temporary fix.


 
Your weight is a sign of your overall internal  health.  Unless you take away what the body doesn't need, add what it does, the weight you lose will be short lived. 


There are three reasons why weight is so difficult to lose and maintain:

                                             Stress,  Bad food, and Toxicity. 

Most of us know about the first two, but the sea of toxic chemicals we live in affects our weight as well.  Some of them mimic estrogen and fool the body into thinking they are real so they are absorbed and cause lots of problems and extra weight.



To learn more about how to have the perfect weight for a lifetime, call The Wellness Place for a consult to learn more.


Making Difficult Nutritional Changes Through Inspiration

image1416

                          Some of the more difficult health conditions require lifestyle changes that are hard to implement without support from a nutritionist.  And even then, many nutritionists go half way and the client only gets a little better, not  fantastically better.

                        The most important part of change is inspiration and a desire to approach a task with your whole being, 

                        Forever weight loss and great health isn't achieved without changing problematic belief systems.  Beliefs about yourself that maybe a roadblock to moving forward.

Become an Informed Patient

image1417

Do you expect your doctors to know the answers to all your questions?  Do you believe he/she has the last word on your condition? Maybe not?

 Always get a copy of your lab work and scan it for highlighted markers or ones out of range.  It isn't rocket science.  Things get missed.

  • Always get a second opinion and don't take a medication until you have read the insert from the pharmacy so you can identify side effects early on and thus avoid short term or possibly long term damage.
  • Your body is unique and so is the response you will have to medications.
  • Is the medication prescribed going to cure you or is there another way to restore your health?
  • Remember:  Aside from heart disease and cancer, Physician Error is the third leading cause of death.  If you can't get answers from one doctor find another.  Go to 3 or 4 if you need to.  You would do that if you were looking for the right mechanic to fix your car.  
  • That being said, a doctor, in most cases, is doing his best, but how much can you know about a person in 15 minutes?  Doctors have a very tough job and they need your help to understand what you need.
  • You haven't heard from the office about your ultrasound, your labs, any other tests?  Hound them until you do.  


Vitamin D Deficiency Linked To Increased Cesarean Births

image1418

OPTIMAL VITAMIN D LEVELS FOR PREGNANCY

Low levels of Vitamin D have been linked to an increase in Cesarian births.


I have a client with a Vitamin D level of 25.  She has a newborn with mild breathing issues, and has a swollen belly that is going down very slowly.  She is also very tired with little energy.


Seldom do doctors check the level during pregnancy.  Thirty is considered an adequate marker which is entirely too low.


If you are pregnant,  your Vitamin D level should be between 40-60 to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery. 


IF you are recovering from a Cesarean procedure, and your Vitamin D level is low, start with 2000 IU drops or capsules, increasing to 4000 iu for two  to three weeks, then reduce it to 3000 and see how you feel. Check your levels in about 6 weeks.   


Because Vitamin D is a key factor in controlling inflammation and healing, post surgical symptoms should be reduced and resolve more quickly.
