Nutrition U- What You Should Know About Food, Nutrition, Supplements and More...

Dr. Ashley Waggoner, Chiropractic Physician:
http://www.ashley-chiropractic.com/

Do you feel confident that you know everything you need to know about food, nutrition, supplements, menu planning (my revision of the word diet), exercise, health and wellness?

If you are like most people that I talk to, the answer is a resounding "NO"!

There are so many new pills, new studies, new scary facts about foods that you thought were healthy.  Most people have no idea what they should or shouldn't be eating, ignoring, baking, broiling, frying or grilling.

Do you currently take a multivitamin or any type of nutritional supplement? Do you know that it's the right supplement for you? Do you feel a difference when you take your supplement? Do you feel more energy, more fulfillment, more clarity, more focus? Should you feel any different?

These are the questions I get asked every day...

Do you know if your digestive system is working properly? Do you have regular bowel movements? Is your body getting rid of everything it doesn't need and readily using everything it does need?

Are your kidneys filtering efficiently? Are toxins staying in your body and possibly making you sick?

Could your liver be bogged down because of medications, illnesses, or a sluggish system? What happens when your liver isn't functioning properly?

After reading study after study and listening to news brief after newsbrief, hearing conversations between friends and hearing professionals talk on TV, do you know if what they're saying applies to you?

How can you decide what is the best choice for YOU and YOUR FAMILY?

Is there a way to know for sure that what you've done so far is right for you, or find out for the first time what the right thing for you to do is?

We will start out with what Performance U calls:

 the 10 Commandments of General Nutrition:

1. Eat Every 3-3 1/2 hours

2. Each meal should contain a lean protein, a fibrous carb (preferably a green vegetable), and a healthy fat

3. Meal Size- you should not feel starving after 3 1/2 hours and you should be  able to eat after 3 hours after your previous meal (you should be able to autoregulate when you eat).

4. Emphasize low fructose fruits

5. Consume starches relative to your activity level- when you are actively working out you should eat more starchy carbs, if it is a rest day you should not eat starchy carbs.

6. Never consume a fruit or a starch by itself, always eat these with a protein

7. Drink a lot of water- shoot for a gallon a day

8. always drink a pre-workout shake and a post-workout shake

9. Consume little or no processed products such as alcohol, sweets, dairy products, and breads

10. Plan ONE meal per week to eat off plan (Splurge Meal).

This is a general place for anyone to start and if you are ready to find out exactly the plan for YOU including the functioning of your systems, nutritional program and exercise plan - you can schedule a Wellness Visit with Dr. Ashley Waggoner, Chiropractic Physician or attend one of our affordable Nutrition U nights at Ashley Chiropractic - Mesa and Queen Creek AZ. We look forward to helping you reach your potential!

9/13 National Celiac Awareness Day

What is Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease?

Learn how you can overcome the symptoms of Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease with a proper exam and diagnosis. Treatment options include a modification of diet and nutritional supplementation.

Non celiac gluten intolerance is a serious problem igniting chronic inflammation in the body. The inflammation is caused by the immune system attacking the gluten. Basically, the immune system produces antibodies to the gluten. It sees the gluten as a bacteria, virus, or unwelcomed addition to the body and goes into a frenzy to eradicate it. Each time the body encounters gluten (which could be several times per day in the standard American diet) the immune system is fired up. This produces chronic inflammation which leads to chronic disease processes and a whole host of symptoms.

Gluten prompts the body to release a substance called zonulin, which regulates the permeability of the intestines. Intestinal-lining cells are pried apart by zonulin. Undigested food particles can enter the blood stream. The immune system reacts by releasing inflammatory substances. This is referred to as "leaky gut syndrome". Since, impermeability is decreased; minerals, essential vitamins, and necessary nutrients are not readily absorbed. This leads to underlying nutritional deficiencies. You may think you are eating and reaping the benefits of eating healthy foods, but the body is not absorbing as much of the nutrients as you think.

Another theory and proposed mechanism of how gluten can affect various organ systems involves peptidase enzyme called DPP4. If there is a failure or insufficiency of DPP4, the body can't efficiently breakdown the proteins in gluten. The immune system can be fooled by molecular mimicry as the undigested protein fragment can be mistaken for a virus. As a result of this, antibodies are aimed at the protein and can cause damage to tissues in an auto-immune reaction.

Symptoms of Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease
The symptoms that non-celiac gluten intolerance can incite can range from joint pain, anxiety, depression, headaches, fatigue, cramping, stomach pain, indigestion, body aches, rashes, acid reflux, thyroid disorders, infertility, mental disorders, etc. As you can see these symptoms are so vast and can be related to multiple diseases.

This is where the problem lies in the medical community recognizing this sensitivity as a dire health problem. Since, medicine is primarily focused on symptom relief; the majority of treatment for these symptoms is focused on pharmacology and not possible nutritional causative factors.

Proper Testing and Treatments
The best way to test for non-celiac gluten intolerance is through Muscle Testing or blood testing for IgG and IgA. In my practice, I have muscle tested many people who have been blood tested for gluten sensitivity and have been told that they do not have gluten intolerance, and they show up as sensitive to gluten through the muscle test. This may not be a life-long intolerance as there are ways to change how the body responds to gluten. One way is through testing for the right digestive enzyme that will allow the gluten to be broken down properly. Usually, my patients need to be off gluten for 6 months if not longer and if they are taking corrective nutritional supplementation their bodies can heal and tolerate gluten at some point.

There is also a desensitization process that I use to help the body to not respond to gluten in the same way. When gluten intolerance is identified, a person must refrain from eating even small amounts of gluten. The person will start feeling better in about one week. The body is so resilient and has an innate ability to heal itself, once the stress has been removed. If a person reintroduces the gluten after being gluten free, without enzymatic support or a desensitization technique, their symptoms will return.

Gluten Substitutions
Grains that do not contain gluten are rice, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, amaranth, teff, sorghum, wild rice, and corn. You can experiment by completely eliminating gluten from your diet for two weeks and replace it with some of these alternatives.

Other major food intolerance’s include soy, dairy, and corn, but a person can be sensitive to anything. What one person is sensitive to another person may be fine consuming. The majority of these sensitivities are based on genetic factors. One of the main reasons a person feels so energetic when doing a cleanse is that they may be off their major food sensitivity, such as wheat or dairy.

Chiropractic Adjustments by manual or activator techniques may be used to help relieve your nervous system of nervous system interference, which causes multiple symptoms dependent on relieve your nervous system of nervous system interference, which causes multiple symptoms dependent on where your nerves are being affected. If your nervous system can not communicate with your body, it simply can't take care of you optimally.

Please contact me if you, or someone you know suspects they may be suffering from Gluten, or any other type of food In-tolerances. A muscle test will provide a quick diagnosis and options for healthy solutions.

Are Your Supplements Good For You? How Do You Know What You Need?

Have you ever gone into the grocery store, health food store, or drug store looking for vitamins or supplements and noticed that there are rows and rows of supplements? Most patients that answer this question tell me that when they get to the supplement isle they feel overwhelmed, confused, and/or frustrated. So what do they do? They either pick one from the shelf that catches their eye with fancy labeling or with a good tag line or they walk away with nothing. What is the best choice in this circumstance? The best option is probably to walk away and do some research but you could get lucky and get a good supplement.

Are you content with simply hoping that your vitamin, mineral, and/or supplements are good and working or would you rather know exactly what your body needs and is able to use? Of course most patients say that they would like to know that what they're buying is not a waste of money but is doing exactly what they need when they need it. The problem they face is that they don't know how to know exactly what they need and what product will work for them.

So how do you know exactly what your body needs and what supplements your body can absorb and use? The best way to find out is by visiting a Nutritional Response Testing Practitioner who can test your body for common stressors such as bacteria, viruses, fungus, parasites, heavy chemicals, heavy metals, food allergens, and more. After these stressors are located and treated with whole food replacement parts and/or supplements the entire body is evaluated for weakness and is then given a specific nutritional protocol individually created for YOU using muscle testing.

If you do not have a nutrition response testing practitioner in your area there may be a similar technique available in your area that can test specific supplements for you.

If you are not interested in visiting a practitioner to find your individual needs and create a personalized plan but would like to know the best vitamins and/or supplements I can tell you that the most important thing to look for is a whole food base, which means that none of the products in the bottle are made from synthetic materials. Synthetic vitamins, minerals and supplements are not nutrition and can never fully absorb or be used by your body. A synthetic product can contain %1000 of the daily dose and you could get %0 into your system for use. A whole food vitamin, mineral, and supplement is readily absorbably because it is nutrition and what your body recognizes as food.

If you would like to use a pharmaceutical grade, whole food product and have it customized for you, you can call our office and participate in a symptom survey that will allow us to customize your nutritional protocol including the products needed that can be sent directly to your home at an affordable rate that does not include an office visit. This guarantees that you will not be wasting your money on worthless supplements and vitamins but doesn't require costly doctors visits. Our goal is to help you create wellness in your life!

A pharmaceutical grade product on the market is Standard Process. These products are whole food based and potent enough to only be sold through health practitioners. If you create an individualized nutritional plan with Dr. Ashley Waggoner, D.C. the products used will include Standard Process products. The results we've seen when we use the specific nutrition needed have been documentable.

If you have any questions or would like to start your nutritional plan today call Ashley Chiropractic at Integrated Family Health 480-259-0064. If you reach the voice mail leave your name and number and let us know if you would like to schedule an appointment for nutrition response testing or if you would like to have a phone appointment in order to create a custom nutritional plan. We will return your call in a timely manner.

Remember to be extraordinary in everything you do!

Ashley Chiropractic: Tips to relieving pain in pregnancy

Tips to relieving pain in pregnancy

Natural pregnancy care

Whether you are pregnant for the first time or you've already had children it's likely that you have had discomfort or even pain during pregnancy that doctors, friends, family, associates and everyone has told you is normal and just a part of the process.

 

So is it normal?  Well pain, no matter when it occurs is not normal and is there to tell you something. During pregnancy there are obviously drastic changes to most women's bodies and those changes in themselves can cause soreness, pain, swelling, heartburn, headaches, muscle spasms and more even in a very healthy person. These symptoms are caused by a radical increase in weight in a short period of time, a change in your center of gravity, a change in muscle activity and support, digestive system changes, and spinal/pelvic alignment changes.

 

Can we stop these changes from happening? Probably not and we most likely wouldn't want to. The weight increase is important in supplying the baby with the nutrients they need and of course the baby themselves adds to your weight, along with breast enlargement to prepare for breast feeding. A change in your center of gravity is inevitable when your weight increases without balance - which means most of your weight increase is in your stomach region. Your muscles change from everyday support and strength to supporting the ligaments, the uterus and other needed areas for pregnancy. This is why weight training during pregnancy will not only do no good in building muscle bulk but may also decrease muscle bulk because it's not your muscle's primary job. Your digestive system enzymes, speed and ability to digest change due to what the baby can handle and what your body needs to do for you and the baby. Your spine and pelvis will change more during pregnancy than in any other time in your life. Your hips have to open, your tailbone has to move, and your entire spine has to be flexible for the baby's growth. This means that your body may misalign from it's optimal position so that it can accomodate the baby.

 

So am I saying that pain is inevitable during pregnancy and there's nothing that can be done about it other than to take tylenol and rest? No, not at all. There are many alternatives to tylenol, medicine, and rest for pain during the prenatal period. First of all, you want to take as little medicine as possible while pregnant because all medicines will effect the baby, just some are more risky than others. Second, most pain is not effected by tylenol because it is the most mild pain reliever that is available. And rest is great in moderation, however when you are stuck on bed rest or are in too much pain to move, other negative effects occur such as depression, frustration, anger, and lonliness - which ultimately effect the environment that your baby is living in.

 

Alternatives to pregnancy pain include natural alternatives such as prenatal chiropractic care, which deals specifically with the misalignments in the spine, pelvis, tailbone, and soft tissue issues in the anterior pelvic regions. A prenatal chiropractor adjusts pregnant women extremely gently with specific techniques that allow the body to realign while making plenty of room for the baby to be in the optimal position for pregnancy as well as labor and delivery. They have amazing results with neck pain, headaches, heartburn, midback and shoulder pain, low back pain and sciatica, tailbone pain, and anterior pelvic pain. Prenatal Chiropractors take interference off of nerves (which is where pain comes from) and allow your body to work more effectively and efficiently. Pain is definitely relieved but many mom's also notice an improvement in breathing, digestion, heartburn, coordination, movement, strength, and overall emotional well-being. Why? Because when your body can work without any interference, it's amazing! Your body can heal you better than any doctor.

Prenatal Massage is another fantastic alternative to traditional prenatal pain treatment. There are many massage therapists who focus on prenatal clients and know techniques that create relaxation, comfort, and help to decrease muscle tightness and spasms during pregnancy.

 

Cranial Sacral Therapy is also an alternative therapy to normal pregnancy pain treatment. Cranial sacral is a very gentle technique that allows you to relax while the therapist gently improves the flow of cerebral spinal fluid from your brain to your sacrum/tail bone. This therapy also helps with overall emotional and physical well-being.

 

Acupuncture is another alternative pain relieving treatment that is safe and effective in pregnancy. The acupuncture/chinese medicine philosophy focuses on energy blockages within your body and the removal of pooled energetic masses that cause pain and discomfort with extremely small needles that are inserted topically in very specific places on your body for about 15-30 minutes, depending on what is being treated. Most patients say that they don't feel the needles at all.

 

In conclusion, although tylenol and rest are the most common treatments for pain during pregnancy there are many alternative treatments that may be safer and more effective. Medicine is a very risky and dangerous treatment for any issues while pregnant. Depending on what the problem is, you have to decide whether the benefit is worth the risk. Bed rest can be negative during pregnancy. If there are alternatives that can decrease or resolve pain and allow you to remain healthy and active during pregnancy, most patients feel that it's worth the try to see what works best for them.

 

There are additional alternative treatments for pain during pregnancy that your naturopath or chiropractor can discuss with you at your next appointment. Good luck and blessings through your pregnancy!

Stroke: A Study Says It's Not Just For Old Folks Anymore!

An article titled ‘Strokes rising among teens, young adults’ by Marilynn Marchione was published in Februarys’ www.azcentral.com. It highlights alarming new studies that show an increase in the number of strokes experienced by young and middle-aged people in the United States.  Data was compared from 1994 and 1995 with data in 2006 and 2007.  The sharpest increase in stroke (51%) was found in men age 15 to 34.  Women in the same age group experienced a 17% increase in stroke.

 

 A stroke, otherwise known as a cardiovascular accident (CVA), can occur when part of an artery in the brain becomes narrow or hardened and eventually clogged, restricting or entirely cutting off blood flow to vital brain cells.   Most strokes are a result of cholesterol buildup in narrow arteries which rupture and cause a clot.  The same occurrence in vessels of the heart causes a “heart attack”.  Risk factors include obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure and smoking.

 

 The results of a stroke can be devastating, ranging from loss of physical and cognitive function, paralysis and death.  Some patients can recover from a mild stroke and go on to live a happy and fully functional life.  However, stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S.  Those individuals who survive a serious stroke are often severely impaired and quality of life is permanently altered.

 We don’t have to think long and hard about why strokes are increasing in young people.  Just look around you.  Obesity is an American epidemic!  Our busy lifestyle is a convenient excuse to stop by the drive-through for fast food.  Of course, by the time we get home and eat our unhealthy food, stress out over homework with the kids, tidy up the house and attend to our many chores, there is no time left for exercise.  To help relax, we often turn to unhealthy alternatives such as alcohol and tobacco.  No wonder we are such a mess!

 

 The good news is that your risk factors for stroke can be altered.  Eating healthy, getting regular exercise, quitting smoking and keeping weight, blood pressure and glucose levels under control will help reduce the chance of having a stroke.  It certainly will take some effort, but it is possible.  Sadly, health and prevention are often overlooked in traditional medicine.  As medical providers, we are taught in medical school that the “first line therapy” for high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and patients at high risk for cardiovascular problems is:  DIET and EXERCISE, cessation of SMOKING, and elimination of STRESS.  We find, however, that patients are not very compliant in following this recommendation, and in most cases pharmacologic intervention is begun.  Part of the problem is lack of follow up and reluctance or confusion on the part of the patient to assume responsibility for his or her health.

 

 At True Harmony, we are excited to offer a new program to help you fulfill your healthy lifestyle, and reduce your risk of stroke, cardiac disease and other medical problems.  The program is fittingly called “FIRST LINE THERAPY”.  Patients who are overweight, have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or other symptoms ranging from PMS to fatigue can benefit from this program.  FLT is monitored by our own physician, and includes meal plans, nutritional support, exercise and activity regimens, and follow up visits to track progress and success.  FLT promotes fat loss while supporting healthy energy and muscle production, and balancing healthy insulin and blood sugar. It makes eating healthy affordable and convenient so that anyone can practically implement health eating. This program also provides the support that is needed to make a lifestyle change, plus the expert oversight of a physician.

 

 You CAN help improve your health now and reduce your risk of  serious health problems in the future (including stroke).

Yeast Infections (Candida) and What You Can Do About Them!

 

 

What is Candida?

 

Candida is a highly adaptable fungus that causes oral thrush, athlete's foot, vaginal yeast infections, and systemic candidiasis. Small numbers of candida are found in the intestinal flora of healthy men and women of all ages. Fungal overgrowths that lead to unpleasant symptoms are caused by a combination of cumulative factors, including poor diet, stress, prescription medications, and chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes. Candida albicans is the most common form of yeast that causes related medical conditions. The effects of chronic and systemic candidiasis are not fully understood, however, infections have been linked to fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, ADD, and many other conditions.

 

Candida organisms releasemore than 70 known toxins that accumulate in the joints, spinalfluid, and soft tissue.

 

Since the mid 1990s, researchers at Stanford University, MIT, and Harvard have been mapping genomes of the common Candida albicans fungus. Decades of innovative DNA research have changed the way scientists view and treat candida. To evolve and thrive, the fungus is constantly mutating its gene sequences. Candida is capable of spontaneously rearranging data, deleting gene patterns, and changing chromosomal repeats similar to the way computers rapidly handle and exchange data packets.

 

 

·         gastrointestinal distress

·         headaches and dizziness

·         hypoglycemia

·         infertility

·         inflamed prostate

·         learning difficulties

·         lupus

·         memory loss

·         multiple sclerosis

·         mood swings

·         PMS and breast tenderness

·         skin rashes and chemical sensitivity

·         sore throat and coughing

 

Causes of Candida

Candida and chronic cadidiasis are caused by the excessive overgrowth of a natural and generally harmless fungus that inhabits the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and genital region. Candida is a commensal fungus that inhabits the surface of the skin along with many beneficial organisms. Commensal organisms like candida are parasitic, which means the fungus lives and feeds, causing harm to the host.  When the healthy bacterial balance is thrown off, the opportunistic candida takes advantage of the situation causing a fungal overgrowth.

When candida gains a foothold in this manner, it dominates the intestinal microflora and prevents beneficial organisms from reestablishing themselves. If left unchecked, candida infections can become systemic and enter the bloodstream.

 

 

Severe candida overgrowth causes the fungus to penetrate the membranes of the intestinal lining where it compromises organ function. By moving through the membrane, the candida creates microscope pores in the intestines that can contribute to leaky gut syndrome and other conditions. Most cases of candida are caused by C. albicans, however, infections with C. glabrata are gaining prevalence due to the species' vigor and resistance to antifungal medications. Causes of Candida Include:

 

 

·         Antibiotics

·         Antacids and Anti-ulcer Medications

·         Chemotherapy

·         Cortisone and Steroid Medication

·         Dentures

·         Environmental Pollutants

·         Heavy Metal Buildup

·         Low pH

·         Immune Suppressants

·         Inadequate Digestive Enzymes

·         Medical Transplants and ICU Treatment

·         Oral Contraceptives

·         Poor Diet High in Carbohydrates and Refined Sugars

·         Stress

·         Synthetic Estrogen

·         Type One Diabetes

·         Weak or Compromised Immune System

 

 

Candida Symptoms

Candida thrives in warm, moist, and dark locations. Systemic candida infections or candidiasis cause chronic symptoms that greatly surpass the effects of athlete's foot, oral thrush, and vaginal yeast infections. Yeast and fungi are living organisms that survive through a metabolic process. Carbohydrates and sugars are very important ingredients for feeding and sustaining yeast colonies.

 

 

Poor digestion or a diet with low nutritional value can create conditions where Candida thrives. Candida organisms release more than 70 known toxins that accumulate in the joints, spinal fluid, and soft tissue. Among these toxins are ethanol, histamines, mycotoxins, and acetaldehyde that overload the liver, target the hormonal system, and inhibit immune response.

 

 

Side effects vary from slow healing time to muscle soreness and flu-like symptoms. Acetaldehyde is a relative of formaldehyde that causes mutation on the cellular level. When combined with toxins that impaired immune response, mutated cells are allowed to regenerate. To boost the strength of the invasive microorganisms, candida releases the potent toxin proteinase. Ethanol produced by the metabolic process causes effects similar to a chronic alcohol hangover.

 

 

Candida also releases histamine that causes patients to develop rashes, hives, and allergies to the healthiest foods. In some cases, patients may also be allergic to the candida yeast. Candidiasis can lead to hormonal imbalances and metabolic disorders that mimic many medical conditions. The ability to disguise itself as so many common maladies has caused candidiasis to be an under-recognized and frequently undiagnosed condition. Common symptoms of Candidiasis include:

 

 

·         ADD and ADHD

·         anxiety and depression

·         arthritis

·         autism

·         congestion and sinusitis

·         Crohn’s and IBS

·         constipation

·         craving for alcohol and sugary foods

·         difficulty concentrating or brain fog

·         chronic fatigue

·         flatulence and bloating

·         fibromyalgia and muscle pain

·         weight gain.

What is Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease?

 

Learn how you can overcome the symptoms of Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease with a proper exam and diagnosis.  Treatment options include a modification of diet and nutritional supplementation.

 

 

Non celiac gluten intolerance is a serious problem igniting chronic inflammation in the body. The inflammation is caused by the immune system attacking the gluten. Basically, the immune system produces antibodies to the gluten.  It sees the gluten as a bacteria, virus, or unwelcomed addition to the body and goes into a frenzy to eradicate it. Each time the body encounters gluten (which could be several times per day in the standard American diet) the immune system is fired up. This produces chronic inflammation which leads to chronic disease processes and a whole host of symptoms.

 

 

Gluten prompts the body to release a substance called zonulin, which regulates the permeability of the intestines. Intestinal-lining cells are pried apart by zonulin. Undigested food particles can enter the blood stream. The immune system reacts by releasing inflammatory substances. This is referred to as "leaky gut syndrome". Since, impermeability is decreased; minerals, essential vitamins, and necessary nutrients are not readily absorbed. This leads to underlying nutritional deficiencies. You may think you are eating and reaping the benefits of eating healthy foods, but the body is not absorbing as much of the nutrients as you think.

 

 

Another theory and proposed mechanism of how gluten can affect various organ systems involves peptidase enzyme called DPP4. If there is a failure or insufficiency of DPP4, the body can't efficiently breakdown the proteins in gluten. The immune system can be fooled by molecular mimicry as the undigested protein fragment can be mistaken for a virus. As a result of this, antibodies are aimed at the protein and can cause damage to tissues in an auto-immune reaction.

 

Symptoms of Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease

The symptoms that non-celiac gluten intolerance can incite can range from joint pain, anxiety, depression, headaches, fatigue, cramping, stomach pain, indigestion, body aches, rashes, acid reflux, thyroid disorders, infertility, mental disorders, etc.  As you can see these symptoms are so vast and can be related to multiple diseases.

This is where the problem lies in the medical community recognizing this sensitivity as a dire health problem. Since, medicine is primarily focused on symptom relief; the majority of treatment for these symptoms is focused on pharmacology and not possible nutritional causative factors.

 

 

Proper Testing and Treatments

The best way to test for non-celiac gluten intolerance is through Muscle Testing or blood testing for IgG and IgA. In my practice, I have muscle tested many people who have been blood tested for gluten sensitivity and have been told that they do not have gluten intolerance, and they show up as sensitive to gluten through the muscle test. This may not be a life-long intolerance as there are ways to change how the body responds to gluten. One way is through testing for the right digestive enzyme that will allow the gluten to be broken down properly. Usually, my patients need to be off gluten for 6 months if not longer and if they are taking corrective nutritional supplementationtheir bodies can heal and tolerate gluten at some point.

 

 

There is also a desensitization process that I use to help the body to not respond to gluten in the same way. When gluten intolerance is identified, a person must refrain from eating even small amounts of gluten. The person will start feeling better in about one week. The body is so resilient and has an innate ability to heal itself, once the stressor has been removed. If a person reintroduces the gluten after being gluten free, without enzymatic support or a desensitization technique, their symptoms will return.

 

 

Grains have only been in our diet for about the last 15,000 years or so. There is strong evidence that 15,000 years ago humans subsisted mostly on vegetables and meats. This is not much time in our two million year history. Approximately 30 percent of northern Europeans (those who lived farthest from the origination of dietary grains in Mesopotamia) carry the genes for gluten intolerance.  99 percent of our genetic makeup was already in place before we started consuming grains. Therefore some of us are not able to handle gluten (which is the protein in many grains).  Today, up to 90 percent of the protein in wheat is gluten, a 10 fold increase in the past 100 years. The average American consumes 150 pounds of wheat each year.

 

 

Gluten Substitutions

Grains that do not contain gluten are rice, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, amaranth, teff, sorghum, wild rice, and corn.  You can experiment by completely eliminating gluten from your diet for two weeks and replace it with some of these alternatives.

 

 

Other major food intolerances include soy, dairy, and corn, but a person can be sensitive to anything. What one person is sensitive to another person may be fine consuming. The majority of these sensitivities are based on genetic factors. One of the main reasons a person feels so energetic when doing a cleanse is that they may be off their major food sensitivity, such as wheat or dairy.

 

 

Please contact me if you, or someone you know suspects they may be suffering from Gluten, or any other type of food Intolerances. A muscle test will provide a quick diagnosis and options for healthy solutions.

Relief from Acid Reflux, GERD, and Heartburn Discomfort

 

What is Acid Reflux?

 Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus. The symptoms of acid relux are very treatable without antacids, and over the counter medications.

After eating, do you suffer from stomach pain, nausea, burping, heartburn, difficulty in swallowing, or sore throat? If you experience any of these symptoms, then you may be one of the millions of sufferers of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) also known as acid reflux disease or heartburn.

A burning sensation starting in your stomach travels up the esophagus. This sensation is painfully felt in your chest and leaves a bad taste in your mouth as well as traces of food and stomach acid. This acid also contains bile and pepsin which is an enzyme utilized in the digestion of proteins in the stomach.

Residual acid in your esophagus can cause inflammation, ulceration, and even bleeding of the lining of the throat. Other complications may include swelling and infection of the lungs and fluid in the sinuses and ear canals if you do not seek acid reflux treatment on a continued basis. If heartburn symptoms happen more than three times a week, please contact me for free consultation.

Symptoms and Causes of Acid Reflux

This disease does not target a certain age. Its affects are felt by babies, children, and adults. Symptoms arise if you consume large meals or overeat before bedtime or a nap. When you are lying down, gravity cannot help return the excess acid to your stomach. Therefore, leftover acid remains in your throat which causes damage. These lifestyle habits tend to contribute to discomfort from acid reflux:

·         Eating onions, chocolate, peppermint, high-fat or spicy foods, citrus fruits, garlic, and tomato-based products.

·         Citrus juices, alcohol, and caffeinated and carbonated drinks.

·         Eating before bedtime.

·         Being Overweight.

·         Eating large portions.

·         Smoking.

·         Wearing tight-fitting clothing or belts.

·         Lying down or bending over, especially after eating.

·         Pregnancy

·         Bulging of the stomach into the chest cavity, also called hiatal hernia.

When symptoms occur while you are awake, gravity and constant swallowing help flush this acid back to the stomach. Tooth decay can also occur from excess food and acid making it into your mouth and onto your teeth.

The lower esophageal sphincter or LES is a valve between your stomach and esophagus that keeps food and stomach acids from going back up your throat. This valve can become damaged and weakened over time which will result in this condition. Another reason for this occurrence is pressure applied to the abdomen from bending, lifting, obesity, or pregnancy. Smoking and under or overproduction of the acids in your stomach and liver also contribute to this disease.

Symptoms from Too Little Acid in the Stomach

The majority of heart burn sufferers actually have too little acid in the stomach not excess. The food cannot be broken down properly and stays partially digested in the stomach. The inorganic acids may travel up the esophagus causing heartburn.

Many patients need enzymes coupled with betaine hydrochloroide to breakdown their food properly and allow the food to be absorbed so it deosn't lead to inorganic acids causing heartburn. The standard medical treatment is to put patients on proton pump inhibitors which completely turn off all acid in stomach. This leads to poor mineral absorption and poor nutrient absorption. This has been linked to an increase incidence of fractures in people that are on these drugs consistently for more than 3 years.

How To Tell the Difference Between Heartburn and a Heart Attack

Serious heart disease may arise if an acid reflux remedy is not initiated. Reduced or restricted blood and oxygen supply to the heart can cause heart palpitations, irregular rhythm, and heart disease. GERD acid reflux can also be a warning sign of impending heart attack or a hiatal hernia which is a break in the lining above the diaphragm.

This is one of my frequently asked questions from my patients.  The symptoms of heart attack and heartburn can be very similar, and even the most experienced heartburn sufferer can have difficulty making the distinction:

·         Both Heartburn and a Heart Attack can both start with chest pain and nausea, especially in women.

·         Chest pain from heartburn usually feels more like a burning sensation, almost like you swallowed a gas bubble that is on fire.

·         Chest pain from a heart attack feels more like a squeezing pressure that can extend to your arm and shoulder.

·        If you are not sure, never just assume heartburn and seek immediate medical attention.

If you feel like you're tried everything and gone to every kind of doctor, but nothing is changing and no one seems to be listening, you may be suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and we may be able to help!

Overcome Severe Fatigue with a

Holistic Healing Approach

"The Standard Process Nutritional Supplements that I take now, have really helped me with my chronic fatigue, energy levels, and my attitude".

What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as CSF, is a disorder that is often associated with extreme fatigue. Even if the individual receives an adequate amount of sleep and rest, they are still experiencing this intense exhaustion. It is not uncommon for people suffering with this disease to have difficulty maintaining their regular schedule for six months or more. The symptoms of this disorder often make it extremely difficult to assess and it was until a few years ago that it was considered to be an actual problem. In fact, many doctors didn’t believe this disorder existed and many believed the patient was a hypochondriac.

You may have been told "Your

tiredness is all in your head,"

but severe fatigue is a real illness.

If you are so tired that you can

not perform your daily activities,

you may be suffering from

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

The symptoms associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can very from one person to another, but the majority of those affected do have the extreme fatigue in common. Others will also find they experience flu-like symptoms of a sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and muscle aches that have no apparent explanation. The other defined symptoms of the disorder include a noticeable loss of the ability to concentrate or a loss of memory, headaches, pain in the joints that do not cause redness or swelling, and the exhaustion, which does not go away with rest.

·         You can feel exhausted at any point of the day.

·         You have difficulty getting a good night sleep. You often wake up tired, like you were up for most of the night.

·         You feel like you don't have any energy.

·         You lack motivation.

·         You have difficulty concentrating. It is hard for you to think clearly at work, and it is hard for you to remember and menatally process details.

·         You may also feel depressed.

While most people who are diagnosed with the condition have most of the above symptoms, others will also experience abdomen pain, chest pain, bloating, diarrhea, earaches, nausea, night sweats or chills, and an unexplained weight loss or gain. None of these symptoms are included in the actual definition of the disorder, but many physicians often find that they must be included in the Chronic Fatigue treatment plan and many often use Fibromyalgia treatment for these individuals, as well.

Although the majority of people do experience the extreme fatigue, many often have their own unique set of symptoms. What one individual is experiencing can be quite different from another person who was previously evaluated. One person could experience all of the symptoms or just a few. This is why it can be quite difficult to evaluate, and why so many health care providers actually had trouble believing the actual disorder existed.

Unfortunately, the cause of CFS is one of mystery. However, many believe that the disorder is often associated with depression, the immune system is dysfunctional, or even caused by an iron deficiency. Other causes may include:

·         Low Blood Sugar

·         Low Blood Pressure

·         A Change in the Levels or Hormones Produced by the Body

·         A Viral Infection

·         Adrenal Gland Deficiency

·        Parasites

·        Candida

·        Heavy Metal Toxicity

Regrettably, there is no one test to determine what may be causing the symptoms you may be experiencing.

Nutrition Response Testing, Change Your Life!

Like a car, your body runs on fuel and requires proper maintenance for it to perform at its highest level. Unlike a car, it is harder to notice the warning signs of poor health because common symptoms can be related to numerous illnesses. Nutrition Response Testing properly fuels your body to improve functionality and reduces symptoms.


Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) is an advanced analysis and personalized health improvement program, using designed clinical nutrition and supplementation, to improve the function of your body's organs with an accurate nutritional process. NRTesting provides a glimpse into the body’s "internal computer" as well as an awareness of the body’s deficiencies. The analysis is done through muscle testing, neurological reflex testing, and acupuncture points.


NRTesting is an offshoot and hybrid of Applied Kinesiology which is a diagnostic tool and health care system used by medical doctors, homeopaths, naturopaths, chiropractors, acupuncturists and many other alternative-care practitioners.  The underlying principle is that the body is run by chemical and electrical signals that are sent from (and back to) the brain via the spinal cord and the fluid nervous system.


All of our organs are controlled by the brain and nervous system, and our hundreds of muscles are controlled by and connected to the nervous system. If there’s an interference with electrical messages, the result is a weakened muscle. NRTesting uses many of the same muscle testing principles as Applied Kinesiology, but it is its own separate system of diagnosis.  The fundamental principle of NRTesting is that a symptom can be caused by any imbalance in the body. Once the imbalance is treated properly, the symptom will disappear.


A healthy, unafflicted muscle is naturally strong and will resist average resistance. What you probably think of as simple muscle strength is actually a much deeper connection to nerves, organs, glands and all of the systems of the body. Analysis includes:


·         Your Reflexes
·         Your Autonomic Nervous System
·         Your Acupuncture Points
·         Your Muscle Response


Nutrition Response Testing Treatment
Nutrition Response Testing Therapy is a study of how the different points on the surface of the body relate to a patient's state of health. NRTesting provides a glimpse into the body's "internal computer", which enables me to help you resolve your health problems, including, but not limited to, the treatment and therapy for following health issues:


·         Immune System Challenges
·         Fungal Problems
·        Parasite Infestation
·         Food Allergies
·        Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; Severe and Extreme Fatigue.
·         Skin Rashes
·         Active Scar Repair
·        Digestive Problems and Disorders; Severe Abdominal Pain.
·        Candida
·        Crohn's Disease
·        Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) also known as acid reflux disease.
·         Bacterial and Viral Issues
·         Chemical and Metal Toxicity Problems


The objective of the technique is to detoxify, fortify, and create awareness and balance in a patient's system. The fundamental principle of Nutrition Response Testing is that a symptom can be caused by any imbalance in the body. Once the imbalance is treated properly, the symptom will disappear. NRTesting removes any guesswork on what supplements a patient should be taking, by revealing the client-specific nutritional protocol that will heal the patient on a cellular level.


Proper Nutritional Supplementation
