A call or grateul livingMany American adults consider Tanksgiving to be their

avorite holiday. While Christmas — or the Christmas season,really — is a estive, nostalgic celebration, let’s be honest, it’s ALO o work! Tanksgiving, on the other hand, is a day that’s goodor the soul. I we are ortunate, we may be able to take a break rom our hectic lives, gather with amily members, share a mealwith loved ones and give (not gis, but) thanks.

Many o us may not be aware o just what a powerul emotiongratitude really is. It may be surprising or some to learn that thosewho practice gratitude as a way o lie eel better about themselves,are more optimistic about the uture and … improve their health!In act, scientists are nding that these “grateul” individualsconsistently report many health benets, including:

• Stronger immune systems.• Lower blood pressure.• Higher levels o positive emotions.• More joy, optimism and happiness.• Feeling less lonely and isolated.1

Now that’s power! Let’s take this as motivation to think and eelgrateully every day, not just on Tanksgiving Day. Image whatcould happen …

I am grateul or all o our wonderul advertisers who submitarticles to educate their communities about more options orliving healthy liestyles. In this issue, Jill Greinke reminds us aboutthe importance o each o us being in ull alignment with our liepurpose and identies seven mistakes we should avoid in orderto reach that happiness. Patti Beres cautions us about a potentialdanger or our pets as the snow starts alling: overexposure to

certain ice melts. Wendy Halpap shares a natural treatment opor plantar asciitis that those who suer with the condition not have considered. And, there’s much more, so please read

Challenge yoursel to keep the gratitude o the day owing in lie so you, too, can reap the benets!

O ver the course o the last decade, the tness industry hasdoubled in size. Not surprisingly, the number o personaltrainers working in the United States has seen a similar

increase. With an abundance o trainers entering the marketplace,the incredibly important (and dicult) task o nding the right

trainer or you has become as complicated as picking out a car, a pair o sneakers, cereal or anything, really. We live in a wlled with choices.

Te rst step is oen the easiest. You simply must decide wyou will eel comortable doing your workout.

Te most common venues are large tness centers likeYMCA and Gold’s Gym. Tese are your one-stop shops provide personal trainers or the option to use their machines ipendently whenever you want and at your own pace. Additionthey may oer healthy liestyle and wellness programs like yspin, Zumba, etc. Tese activities are antastic complements topersonal training program.

Alternatively, you can join a small tness studio — the intry’s astest-growing segment. Studios truly put the “personapersonal training by providing an intimate setting and cuworkout routines. Newcomers who are uncomortable worout in ront o large groups are also attracted to the tness stuprivate atmosphere. Very ew small studios employ more three trainers, and all o them strive to help clients reach goals through exercise and diet.

Finally, i you’re short on time and long on cash, you can a personal trainer come to you. Many trainers make their ltravelling to people’s homes and leading one-on-one worroutines. I you’re a requent-ying proessional or a can’t-lehome parent, this option might work best or you.

Deciding where you want to work out drastically pares downthe eld o personal trainers. Now it’s time to discover the onethat’s right or you. It is essential to nd someone you have a goodrapport with, as it will make exercising that much more enjoyable.Te rst meeting should be ree, so don’t be araid to interview aew trainers beore you make a decision. o help get you started,here are several questions to ask your potential trainer.

Aout t psona tan: What are your credentials?

A personal trainer should hold NCCA-accredited certication. It lets you know you’re working with a proessional with the knowl-edge and skill to provide a sae and eective workout. Only 10 o nearly 70 certication agencies are recognized by the NCCA. For a complete list o NCCA-accredited certication agencies, go towww.credentialingexcellence.org/ncca.

What is your area o expertise, and how much training experi-ence do you have?You’ll want to make sure the trainer has experience working withclients with similar goals, needs and/or limitations. Tis questionis o particular importance i you have very specic tness goals(sports conditioning, weight loss, rehabilitation, etc.).

What kind o tness assessments do you perorm and how oen?Fitness assessments — body at testing, blood pressure screening,and strength, exibility and endurance tests — help a trainer gauge your tness level and design a sae exercise program.

What type o motivational techniques do you use to helpclients reach their goals?

Knowing my tness goals, what kind o workout plan will youdevelop to help me reach them?

How oen will you change my workout routine? Would you mind providing a ew current clients as reerences?

Aout tann pacas: What kind o packages do you oer?

As with most things, the more you buy, the less it costs. Many trainers oer bulk discounts, resulting in signicant cost-per-session savings. It’s also a good idea to ask about payment options(pay in ull, per session, in installments).

What is your reund policy?I you are unhappy with your trainer, the experience or theresults, you’re going to want a reund.

I I buy a package, will my prepaid sessions expire?reat these packages like a gi card or certicate. Tere is achance that all o your sessions need to be used by a certain date.

What is your cancellation policy?In order to receive a reund, many trainers require that youcancel a session one to two days in advance.

hearing aids are designed to helpindividuals hear better. Whilethey make it easier in day-to-day

situations, there are certain communica-tion needs that cannot be met with just ahearing aid. Many times, these situationsinvolve telephone, radio and televisionusage. Special devices — assistive listeningdevices — have been developed to solve these problems. Assistivelistening devices can help increase the loudness o a desired sound,

like a television or telephone.

Ampd tponAmplied phones are specically designed or people with hearingloss, allowing users to turn up the volume as necessary to hearspeech clearly. Equipped with special eatures, many ampliedtelephones can make it easier to hear high-pitched noises. In theevent the individual with hearing loss is so spoken or strugglesto hear their own speech, some telephones can ampliy outgoingspeech to make it easier to be heard.

Amplied telephones are available in both household and cellu-lar models. Tese phones typically have more eatures than basicphones, like caller ID, large number keys and speakerphone. Somephones also have the capabilities to work with a headset, photodialing, backlit keypads, answering machine or wall mounts.Oen, phones also have special alerts or noises to notiy the user i it’s not hung up correctly.

Additionally, i an individual needs to utilize amplied technol-ogy at home and work, a telephone amplier should be consid-ered. Tis device works to increase the volume o the phone theperson already owns. Tere are two types o telephone ampliersavailable. Te rst, an in-line amplier, is compatible with both

digital and analog phones, and is best or individuals with moate to severe hearing loss. Te second type, a portable ampli

an option or individuals with mild to moderate hearing losscan increase sounds up to 30 decibels. Tese devices attach toheadset on a telephone and make it simple to make conversalouder or soer.

han ad compat ponsSince 1988, it has been required by law that telephone manutures produce wireline models that are compatible with heaaids. Tis generally works in two dierent ways, either acousttelecoil coupling. Acoustic coupling allows sounds around theto be received and amplied. Tis type o amplication can up both ambient or background noise. elecoil coupling is usbest or individuals with severe or proound hearing loss becaublocks the unwanted noise and amplies desired sounds.

Digital or wireless phones can pose a high level o intereri the devices aren’t compatible. Electromagnetic energy is trmitted through these types o devices and can cause issuehearing aids. A rating system has been created to determinecompatibility.

Other options to consider would be speakerphone and speto-text capabilities. Tese types o services could help an indivwith hearing loss communicate more easily or reely. o determ

Assstv stnn dvcs o tvsonsIn addition to talking on the telephone, many individuals withhearing loss can have trouble clearly understanding or hearing thetelevision. Modern hearing aids equipped with wireless capabili-ties can help make it easier to adjust the television volume withoutturning it up too high. Individuals with these devices can stream

television dialog using Bluetooth technology.Tere also are television ampliers, which work with and

without hearing aids, and do not require an earphone socket. Atelevision amplier doesn’t aect the overall volume o the televi-sion, so it remains an enjoyable experience or everyone watch-ing. Tis device works by attaching a small microphone to thetelevision set with Velcro. Tis is then connected through a wirethat eeds to a set o headphones or a neckloop that is transmitteddirectly to the hearing aids.

Additionally, neckloops, or induction loops, can help improvethe overall clarity o sound when used with a telecoil on hearingaids. Earphones or headphones that plug into a television’s earphonesocket are also an option or individuals with hearing loss. V ears,a wireless headset, can also be purchased to help the individual withhearing loss and their television listening experience.

In the event an individual with hearing loss isn’t ready topurchase a device to help ampliy television sounds, closedcaptioning is one o the most popular options to ully understand

television programming without having to adjust the volumelevel higher than others in the room might need.

Backpack weight should never exceed 15 percent o the child’sbodyweight (10 percent is a better number). Tis means i yourchild weighs 96 pounds, his backpack should ideally weigh 9.5to 14 pounds. Te best way to monitor the backpack weight is to

have the child stand on the scale without the backpack and notethe weight. Ten hand them the backpack without them movingo o the scale and note the new weight. Simply subtract the twoweights, and you are le with the weight o the backpack.

oo much weight can be avoided by having the child leave heavy textbooks at school or at home, and by only transporting the booksthey need. I many books need to be transported daily, a suitcasebackpack on wheels may be the best option.

As schools become more and more technological, books may soon become a thing o the past as they are replaced by computers,iPads and electronic book readers. Tis may lead us to a wholenew set o postural problems!

Many people suer rom pain onthe soles o their eet, which iscommonly a symptom o a condi-

tion called plantar asciitis. Plantar asciitis isthe overuse or the wearing o the connectivetissue o the plantar surace o the oot, whichcan result in a burning pain, muscle weak-ness and micro tears at the heel. Te tissuebecomes inamed, has poor circulation and

Te plantar ascia attaches to the bottom o the heel and merges into the arch. It unctionsas a bowstring during the mid-stance phaseo walking or movement.

It may also occurrom walking on the outside o your oot,otherwise called pronation, putting stress onthe outer region and Achilles tendon. Teascia in most cases may eel very thick, hardor gritty. Activities such as dancing, runningon hard suraces, standing or long periodso time, overtraining or improper orm cancause this condition. Some actors that may

predispose you to plantar asciitis are weightgain, especially during pregnancy, tight cal and shin muscles, or ootwear that is too ex-ible, sti or simply not giving you enougharch support.

yoga has a reputation or being a

very traditional and ancient prac-tice with calming, meditative music

to balance the mood and concentration,while ocusing on the breath linking withmovement. A practice in unity o breathand movement. Tat tradition and authen-ticity in the practice maintains that sacredelement that makes yoga a lie practice.

However, in that rigidity o tradition, arealization o the modern world may needto be taken into consideration. Te idea o recreating a tradition to meet the changesin liestyles o the modern century.

Commonly, people express the dicultiesin getting up in the morning to attend theirroutine yoga class. Tey may have had a longday at work or children’s activities long into theevening the day beore; whatever the excuse,it’s typically related to the hectic, daily grindo general lie. Tis is usually when mentaland physical stress shows itsel in the body. Sowhy not change up the routine? Maybe thatusual yoga practice needs a change o beat!

A very popular trend in tness is usionclasses: Pilates meets boxing, samba meetsaerobics, aerial arts meet yoga, and somany more. It’s only natural that pop musicwould merge into the traditional yogaclass. Yoga doesn’t have to be that quiet,subdued practice. Dance your practice. A

ast month, I wrote about lie’s emotional stressors that mani- est disease in the cells o our bodies. Louise Hay, author o “You Can Heal Your Lie,” wrote o this mind/body healing

connection over 30 years ago and research continues to substanti-ate the claim. Having experienced a personal amily health crisisthis month, I’d like to delve deeper into healing our bodies rom the perspective o hand analysis coaching through “soul schools.”

In the soul psychology o hand analysis, there are our schoolso learning: service, love, wisdom and peace. Knowing the onewe’re enrolled in (through ngerprint decoding) helps us know how to live lie with less stress and disease. o illustrate, let me tellyou about our o my clients, all with a history o cancer. Each hasentered this lietime with a dierent oundation.

Let’s start with Susie, who nds hersel in the school o service.

Despite dealing with metastasized breast cancer, she still has thedriven desire to help others. In her lie, she constantly thinks and doesor others — putting their needs rst, showing up on their behal,organizing her thoughts and actions around helping them eel better— basically doing, doing, doing until she’s exhausted while barely making her own ends meet. Neglecting her own sel-care, she strug-gles with sleeplessness, intense stress, anger and other emotionalissues that have been stored in her cells, compounding her illness.

Ten there’s Lisa, who’s in the school o love. Constantly stungher eelings, she disregards her authentic emotions by rationaliz-ing, explaining and justiying others’ actions, as well as her own.She denies being treated badly or blames another or her relation-ship struggles, which could have been avoided i she had expressedher true eelings early on. Te desire to be liked and loved causesher to “numb out” or eventually overreact, creating a sense o “overwhelm” and numerous relationship complications.

Willy is in the school o wisdom. He’s the lie-long learner: aneager student or lie, who attends seminars, gets advanced degreesand is unaware that he’s using his intelligence to insulate romothers and rom lie. He oen nds himsel an observer, taking toolong to make a decision, to change careers, to start his business orto ask or a date. He rationalizes his perectionist tendencies until

opportunities have passed him by, leaving not only lie unchanbut also him eeling “stuck” and empty.

Finally, there’s Polly, who’s in the school o peace. She oenout o balance on this earth; on the adrenalin or proessional slateeter-totter. At lie’s worst, she’s prone to an addiction, which incase has gone rom drinking to excessive meditation, because

Seasons change, but growing ood at Growing Power remainsthe same. Tanks to our two hundred acres o local oodproduction, we’re able to bring you resh, locally grown

ood year-round.

As the cold weather quickly approaches, our sta is gearing upor the winter phase o sustainable ood production. At GrowingPower, this means truckloads o active “hot mix” compost arebeing distributed throughout Milwaukee to the hoop-houses thatgrow ood year-round. Our signature “hot mix” is a combinationo decomposing spent brewery grains and wood chips. Over thepast 20 years, our organization has composted almost 2 milliontons o ood and organic waste, and through it all, we have learnedhow to create certain types o compost, including our remarkable“hot mix,” which we use as a source o heat and ertility or ourplants! Te “hot mix” is lined along the inside and outside o ourhoop-houses to provide insulation and a buer rom the cold. Wealso pile loads o this naturally hot mixture into the our corners o each hoop-house. Te warmth emanating rom the active compostpiles is captured in the hoop-houses to keep the soil and air rela-tively warm. I needed, our sta will rebuild the raised garden bedsby integrating “hot mix” into the soil, which keeps the plants andtheir roots even warmer. Te result is mind-blowing!

Fresh, tasty, locally grown ood is available in the dead o winter!Tis ood is then distributed through our retail store, our year-longarm stands, our Farm to City Market Basket program, our deliv-eries to stores, restaurants and business caeterias, and our supply

to large accounts like Sysco, which services clients like the Milwkee Public School system. Imagine lunchtime in Milwaukee’s pschools, where over 80 percent o the children qualiy or rereduced meals, and many children will be eating their only prepood o the day. Imagine one o these children sitting down toand, instead o grabbing a rench ry, reaching or a handresh, crunchy and nutty-tasting sunower micro-greens growGrowing Power.

common sense — in addition to countless research ndings — willtell you that children are more attentive and better prepared tolearn when they have eaten resh, nutritious ood. Growing Poweris not only growing ood, but also minds, every day o the year.

We understand the need or resh, aordable and locally grownood is not a seasonal phenomenon. Growing Power is commit-ted to bringing our ood production systems to scale to encourageour community to source at least 10 percent o the ood eaten ona regular basis rom local producers, such as ourselves. It takes an

integrated sustainable ood system to do this, and everything romthe ood waste collected and composted to the harvesting and pack-aging o the ood must be considered. Although we understand thewarm, sunny days o summer are over, we have ound a way to usenature’s amenities to keep providing good ood throughout the year.We welcome this winter, knowing that our ood production willcontinue and that local children and their amilies will have unin-terrupted access to resh, locally grown and aordable ood.

So the real question is: Inulin in thenatural orm or inulin manuactured asan additive? Tere is much debate onwhether the manuactured orm o inulinis benecial long term. However, oodsthat contain inulin have variable amounts,and most articles on inulin say you need10-40 grams a day depending on yourocus (lowering triglycerides vs. consti-

pation). A small group study perormedby the University o Minnesota, St. Paulidentied that people can tolerate about10 grams o natural inulin a day comparedto 5 grams o manuactured inulin a day.Inulin in any orm can cause gastrointes-tinal symptoms, but the study did ndthat those who had the chemically alteredinulin complained o gas/bloating, nausea,atulence, stomach cramping and diarrheaat a much higher level. Te report alsoencouraged continued study o tolerancelevels o ood additives like inulin “becausetheir use is likely to continue to grow, andthere is the potential or overuse.”4

Some articles that promote the healthy growth o bacteria in the colon, the bidusbacteria and lactobacillus, also identiy that

while manuactured inulin helps prolier-ate the production o “good” bacteria, itmay also stimulate growth o other bacte-ria such as klebsiella and certain yeasts likecandida, both o which are not good or thebody and could be potentially harmul.

Mainstream ood manuacturers, pres-sured to reduce calories, at and sodiumwhile increasing ber and avor, are

using manuactured inulin in many prod-ucts. Inulin can be ound in high-berbreakast bars, ice creams and bever-ages, among other processed oods. Telabel may list inulin, chicory root extract,oligosaccharide or oligoructose. Forexample, a well-known ber bar with 9grams o dietary ber lists chicory rootextract as its top ingredient.

Te natural orm o inulin is ound ingarlic, leeks, onions, a variety o other root

vegetables, chicory or burdock root, Jerusa-lem artichokes, jicama, wheat, rye and barley.Does this mean no more chicory coee? Nomore root vegetable soups? O course not;eat what you like. Inulin in its natural orm isbenecial, not harmul in any way, and addsto the taste o the ood. People have sustained

According to a Harvard Medical School study conducted inconjunction with Sinai Hospital, medical doctors reerredover six million patients or services such as deep breath-

ing, yoga and meditation last year. Patients were reerred twice asoen or meditation training as or yoga. Meditation does seem tobe gradually nding its appropriate place in Western health care,yet it is still not well understood, and many have tried, ailed andgiven up the practice. At rst glance, it doesn’t seem to t wellinto our culture. And yet it oers a real and tangible approach tohealing both our bodies and our emotional struggles. Let’s take aresh look at the benets o meditation:

Psca ntsMeditation is about healing. Te well-documented benetsinclude:

• Lowered blood pressure.• Better responsiveness to needed medications and less need or

medication.• Lowered cholesterol.• Lowered blood toxins and immune system improvement.• A lessening o the eect o addictions.• Better control o blood sugar.• Lowered stress-related chemicals.• And many others!

emotona nts• th m o ou ompo: As your medita-

tion practice develops, you will discover an increased ability to be compassionate in two ways: compassion or yoursel andcompassion or others.

• th wk o moo: We all haveanger, depression, ear and anxiety at times in our lives. As wediscover the “center” o our lives in meditation, these emotionswill have less and less strength and control.

• a u o “ou” m ou l: In metion, a common experience is the re-emergence o memo times when we were very happy as children and have

orgotten. Tis is one o the healing eects o the practice.• ro ou o pu: Most o us do not eel

we will ever eel “pure” again and, most oen, we don’t think about it. But it is possible, and as we get to the “cen(which is part o meditation), we will nd a place o puritwere not expecting.

• slow h ow: We move much too quin our culture, and we get in trouble when we are reactivsocial situations. Meditation teaches us both how to slow dand how to listen careully to others and our inner voFocus improves.

• th bf l u h : At rst, we will experience the benets or short times during our pratime. But soon we will notice the peace and gentleness we discovered or ourselves and others, and it will be a choicus all day long.

• Hpp: I we combine the physical and emotional bts, perhaps the best summary o the eects o meditatiohappiness. In a University o Wisconsin study in whichelectrical activity o the brain was studied in both mastemeditation (many thousands o hours) and similar pewho did not meditate, it was discovered that the brains

essentially the same — except or the area o the brain that controls happiness, which had six times more electrical activity in the meditation masters.

Let us return to examining the diculty we have in Westerncultures making meditation work or us. raditionally, Easternmeditation came rom many traditions, including Zen, ibetanand Vietnamese Buddhism, and meditative prayer rom Christi-anity. Tey have dierent paths and instructions, and some ocus

on sacred words or “mantras,” but most ocus on breathing: thein-breath and the out-breath, and nothing else. Tis may be theproblem or most o us: thinking o nothing is very, very hard todo, so we become impatient.

So what do we do? Te answer lies in nding a structured approach to meditation that has steps to be ollowed and a clearprocess to be used. Tis approach must have instructions and iden-tiable “transitions” because the process changes as we proceed. Aswe learn to meditate, the instructions and transitions are quickly memorized, and we will have an approach that is successul. Oenwe need to nd an experienced teacher or meditator who can helpus with the process. Te eort to learn this approach will be wellworth your search!

Rich Hanhardt is a board certied spiritual lie coach with 43 years o experienceas a mental health practitioner. He has also practiced meditation or 30 yearsand is the author o “Living Waters, Healing Trough Meditative Prayer.” He nowteaches this structured meditation practice, which is designed or all traditionsand aiths.

it’s the time o year when kitchens are lled with the aromas o richand warming oods. Apple cakes, pumpkin pies, stews, soups andtraditional dishes delight our amilies, riends and ... pets?

We consider our pets to be our companions and amily members. Why wouldn’t we want to share these wonderul mealswith them?

Many pet parents are advised not to oer “people ood” to pets.We are warned that dogs and cats may suer digestive upset orworse, or that they’ll beg or ood rom our plates i we oer bites

o steak or chicken now and then. Indeed, there are some things toconsider when those eyes are pleading or a taste.

“People” oods that are toxic to dogs and cats include: onions,grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, chocolate, raw bread dough,alcohol and some articial sweeteners. (For a complete list,contact your veterinarian or check www.aspca.org.). Pet parentsshould also avoid eeding their companions treats o their platesthat contain ingredients they would normally avoid when choos-ing their daily healthy dog or cat oods. Salt, sugar and ats, orexample, are oen ingredients used in cooking or avor.

Tere are many wonderul oods we can saely share with oururry amily members, however. Just use common sense whenoering a new ood. Only provide a small amount to make surethere is no digestive upset. o avoid weight issues, consider givingpets slightly smaller regular meals to compensate or the caloriesin the “human” ood they’ve eaten.

Here are some ood suggestions and tips or your dogs or catsduring the holidays, or anytime!

• Green beans or peas can be steamed, cooled and added to yourdog’s regular meal.

• I you’re baking pumpkin pie, plain organic canned pumpkin(not pumpkin pie lling) can be added to your dog or cat’s

ood. Pumpkin can also be rozen in a hollow dog toy suca Kong™ and given to your dog to keep them busy while guare eating!

• Chicken, turkey or other poultry muscle and organ meatsbe lightly cooked, chopped up and used in small amountsspecial topper or your dog or cat. Organ meats contain nents important to a carnivore’s nutritional needs. Nevercooked bones to your dog or cat!

• I you’d like to make a special meal or your cat or dog, se

or recipes that use ingredients you would want to nd in pet’s healthy ood. “Dr. Becker’s Real Food or Dogs and Cby Beth aylor and Karen Shaw Becker, DVM, is a great cbook with a wealth o inormation to help pet parents crhealthy and balanced meals or occasional special treats.

• Look or treat recipes with healthy ingredients as well. Dehyddog and cat oods can be purchased and used to make nutrimeals and treats. Honest Kitchen™, maker o dehydratedoods, oers a cookbook, “Made out o Love,” that incorpoits products as the basis or homemade dog and cat treats.

• Beore company arrives, put the amount o healthy treats dog or cat may have in a dish. Let amily and riends knowmay give only these treats to your pet. When the dish is emno more snacks should be given. Tis will allow your guesshare the holiday estivities without compromising your amily member’s health and saety.

less commonly used, though when massaged into the scalp, it isbenecial or people with requent headaches. Oiling the hair ona weekly or biweekly basis not only makes hair luxuriously soand easy to manage, but also repairs damage caused by harshproducts, dyes and hair dryers, while also preventing split ends.However, i a person has oily hair to begin with, it is not recom-mended that he/she ollow this procedure.

In the case o skin, sesame oil is the best option. It is warmingand stimulating to the circulatory system. Sesame oil has a low density and is thereore able to penetrate all layers o the skin.Using an herbalized oil along with the sesame oil, provides addedbenets. For example, ashwaganda, bala and shatavari are excep-tionally nourishing, keeping skin supple, rm and young looking,while lemongrass and tulsi stimulate blood ow in the body. An oilwith ashwagandha, bala, shatavari, lemongrass or tulsi is extremely benecial or keeping your skin so and hydrated during thewinter months. Te only times sesame oil shouldn’t be used are ona skin condition and when there are is an abundance o heat in thebody. Coconut oil is a good substitution in those instances.

Applying the oil to the scalp or body is an equally importantpart o the equation. As the oil is massaged into the skin, bloodow is stimulated, toxins are loosened rom the skin tissue, stressis reduced and endorphins go on the rise. Tis small act o sel-love can go so ar.

For the body massage, it is best to begin with the chest, usingcircular motions on the breasts or pectoral muscles, movingoutward rom the heart, and again clockwise motions on the belly.Use long strokes on the arms and legs, and circular motions onthe knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints. Be sure to get theeet and ace, too! ypically the ace just needs a light lm, not thehydration therapy arms and legs may require.

When applying oil to hair, start with the scalp and give a thor-

ough head massage. Ten proceed to apply the oil to the hair,making sure to get the tips. Te bulk o the application shouldbe geared towards the roots and scalp. Let it sit or at least threehours, or overnight i desired (lay a towel over the pillow or wear ashower cap). When ready, just wash it out with a gentle shampoo(may need to be done twice).

In addition to this sel-care routine, it is best to eat warm, lightly spiced oods to keep the chill o vata away. Vegetable soups spicedwith pepper, celery seed, asaoetida, cumin, coriander and/or a bito cayenne are excellent or warming the body and strengtheningthe circulatory system.

When purchasing oils, one should always select organic unre-ned oils rom trusted companies. Te herbs listed in this articleare ound in most vata or hair-type herbalized oils. For both skinand hair, mix the herbal oils with the coconut/sesame oil at a 1:3ratio (1 part herbal oil, 3 parts coconut/sesame oil). Enjoy!

So what is the “big idea” and what does it have to do withhealth? Te big idea is simply that your body is sel-regu-lating, sel-healing and sel-adapting. Tat means that we

all possess a power within that is intelligent. Simply by accept-ing the big idea as a universal law, we canbegin to recognize our God-given ability

not only to survive, but also to thrive in ourenvironment.

Why is this idea so big now more thanever? Most people have been convinced thatthere is no innate intelligence, and that we livein a chaotic universe. Tis entails that we aredoomed to the aging process, to become dustin the wind and wither away with age. Teparadigm that health comes rom the outside-in has been disproven as an eective approach. Te United Statesmakes up 5 percent o the world’s population, yet we consume over60 percent o the world’s medication. I health came rom a syntheticdrug, then we SHOULD be the healthiest society in the history o theworld. But it does NO, and we are NO!

Shi your paradigm today! Get the big idea, know that healthcomes rom the inside out and that all else will ollow. Tat meansto accept that your body possesses the God-given ability to heal,so your liestyle choices either promote or discourage that power.Once you get the big idea, what will ollow are the details that willCREAE health, rather than destroy it.

“All else ollows” includes the secret to abundant health andprosperity. I you’re able to measure your health by the balance

ound between mind, body and spirit, as opposed to the abso symptoms, then you get the big idea.

Liestyle choices can be overwhelming, so making schanges over time will lead to large shis in your paradigm

ultimately, your health. “Small hiopen large doors!” Mind, body and s

balance is the “truth” or maximizingtrue health potential.

So remember to have the truth in mind, which is the big idea that your bhas the power to heal and create heExpress your lie through your bodexercising, eating correctly (no, we arerecommending the ood pyramid hgetting the proper amount o sleep, av

ing toxins, thinking positively, etc. Finally, have love in your h(spirit). Your heart is not just a pump that moves around, closely linked to your emotion state and reacts to external/innal stresses in more ways than we realize.

living in Wisconsin means you are no stranger to harshwinters, and neither are your pets. When the snow beginsto y, plows, shovels, snow blowers and sidewalk salts

become the amiliar riends that keep our lives moving. Old man

winter blows a mean north wind in our state, but we have leawell how to keep our regular routines despite cold and icy lenges. Furry amily members, sometimes seen wearing doggie sweaters, also rely on their necessary daily routines, incing outdoor activity. Whether or not snowalls make you and

our-legged riend romp with delight like pups, overexposucommon salt-based ice melt products can have some “not so eects on your pet.

Chloride-based (salt-based) ice melters are used extensaround homes during the winter to remove ice and snow areas where oot trac is likely, such as on sidewalks, drivewpatios and porch steps. Given the number o homes whereare present, the potential exists or these valuable members oamily to be exposed to these products, even i the pet is weathis season’s ashion orward doggie booties. Here are some tihelp pet owners better understand the potential eects o accidoverexposure to these products, and what alternatives are avail

Realistically, there are three ways a pet can come into conwith chloride-based ice melters: 1) Tey can walk on the particles or hydrated (liquid) product; 2) Tey can consumproduct either accidentally or intentionally; or 3) Te solid pcles, dust or hydrated product may get into their eyes, ears, nmouths and ur. Each scenario is worth a closer look, notingconsistent contact over the long winter months can become qcommon and go without notice. Even slight exposure to cride-based ice melters can irritate and harm paws, skin and without proper attention.

Pt onsaOverexposure tochloride-based ice melterscan harm your pets.............................................................by Pi b




Sn and ootpad contactChloride-based ice melters present a low hazard to skin when usedas directed, as brie contact is essentially nonirritating. Tereore,single, short exposures to the solid particles most likely will not causea problem to the eet o dogs or cats. However, prolonged (hours)or repeated contact may cause skin irritation; in some cases evenburn. Solid particles may become lodged between toes or caught inthe ur surrounding the oot pads, which would prolong contact andincrease the potential or irritation, as well as ingestion. Additionally,

i the product has hydrated (becomes liquid), the salt solution may cause the ootpads to become dry and cracked. Tereore, chloride-based ice melters should be used careully in areas where animalshave routine access, or not at all in areas where prolonged contactcould occur, such as in a kennel. Owners are advised to inspect andwash their pets’ oot pads aer contact to remove any intact solidparticles or salt solution. In the unlikely event that severe irritation isobserved, a veterinarian should be consulted.

ConsumptonWith respect to exposure via consumption, most pets probably willnot intentionally consume a chloride-based ice melter. However, it

only makes sense to store the product in a manner that eliminatesany opportunity or exploring pets to conduct a “taste test.” Temost likely method o ingestion is when they lick their eet or ur.I incidental ingestion does occur, it is not likely to cause injury, asthe toxicity o this product is low. However, continued consump-tion in small amounts over time could cause the build-up o over-exposure eects. I a pet inadvertently consumes large amounts,gastro-intestinal irritation or ulceration may occur. In this case,

vomiting should not be induced, but i it occurs naturally, oer theanimal plenty o drinking water and consult a veterinarian.

e contacto avoid potential eye contact, pet owners are advised to keep

pets away when the product is being applied to suraces. Dust,residue and hydrated product can also potentially adhere to any exposed area o pet contact. I the product does contact the eyes,or i it settles on other areas, some irritation can be expected. Teproduct should be gently washed out o the eyes or other areasi such exposure does occur. I washing measures are not taken,prolonged contact may result in more extensive injury.

Another way to prevent overexposure is to avoid using chloride-based ice melt products and seek innovative, chloride-ree alterna-tives, which are 100% biodegradable and designed to be both petand environmentally riendly. Ice melting products are currently available that melt quickly up to zero degrees, and are water soluble,

easy to clean and less damaging to suraces. Tis winter, whenconsidering the saety o your winter walkways, you can easily makechoices that are saer or your pets and the environment, too!

Did you know that the average age o a knee replacementis 70 years old, and that many people between the ageso 50 and 80 are going under the knie? Being the largest

joint in the body, the knee is a very complex and regularly tweaked joint, giving many causes or pain and discomort.

Undstandn t nTe knee is a pivotal hinge joint. Basically, it is our bones — theemur (thighbone), the tibia and bula (lower leg bones), and thepatella (kneecap) — held together by ligaments. Tese structures,

along with the meniscus, bursae and tendons work together tosupport almost our entire body weight.

All o the quadriceps (4 total) eed down towards the knee, andthe quadratus emoris eeds into the rectus emoris tendon, as theother three heads also eed into tendinious tissue surrounding theknee. Tese same muscles also eed up and surround the hip andpelvis, as do the hamstrings on the back o the knee joint, and themuscles below the knee eed rom the oot to the knee. Tink o everything as connected.

Ankle is connectedà to the knee (with tendinious issue below and above), which is connectedà to the hip.

w s ts mpotant to undstand?When having some basic knowledge o anatomy, you can begin toollow the dotted lines to gure out i your knee pain is really hipor oot pain. In working with hundreds o bodies over the years, Ihave ound that, in many cases, what is experienced as knee painis actually reerred pain.

Reerred pain, sometimes called reective pain, is discomortthat does not come rom the location o sensation, but rather romanother area. People oen get reerred pain in the knees romhaving tight hips, and restrictive eet or ankles.

And many today conuse arthritis or inammation o eithe joint in the bursitis, which cushions the knee, or the tendons.

does this come about? Most oen this can happen due to lachealthy mobility, improper range o motion or stability, old injor lack o exibility. Many students I work with ear exibility, ecially aer a surgery or knee replacement, but in reality, the exity will be what saves the knee and preserves it aer a replacem

A ou vuna to n pan?Answer these questions to determine i you may be at risk or issues:

• Are your calves tight and sti?• Do your ankles lack mobility and stability?• Are your hips tight, or quadriceps and hamstrings restrict• Do you have asymmetrical development in your legs righ

le or back to ront (hamstring to thigh)?• Do you suer rom a slack pelvic oor, which will negat

aect the knees?• Do you pronate or supinate?• Do you struggle with weight by 25 pounds or more?• Have you ever had a oot, knee or hip surgery where now

harbor scar tissue?

Tese are just a ew causes or concern, among many more.

So at can ou do?1. For starters, get your shoes o and stretch out your eet.2. Perect proper squatting patterns that promote knee health

and stability (e.g., neutral oot rst, toes orward and thenwork rom there).

3. Get new shoes. It may be tempting to get the really cushy ones, but i you are stretching your calves and hamstrings, andgetting around bareoot more, there may be less o a need orthem.

4. Stretch out your hips. ry yoga poses like Runner’s Lunge,Pigeon, Figure Four and Bound Angle.

5. Open your thighs and groin.6. Practice balance poses and go or walks saely on uneven

terrain to get your muscles thinking.7. Never lock your knees.8. Consider a massage or reexology appointment.9. ry mayo ascia release like oam rolling.10. Always, always, always use your pelvic oor and deep core

Because replacement body parts are never as good as theoriginals!

you may have heard about the benets o cooking with extra

virgin olive oil (EVOO), but just haven’t known how toincorporate it into your meal preparation. Well, you’re in

luck! In this article, we are going to get into the nitty-gritty o usingEVOO in cooking.

Let’s start with a simple breakast: eggs, toast and resh ruit.Have you thought about cooking your eggs in EVOO? You can useEVOO that is unavored or, or a little variety, try chili, oregano,trufe or even a rereshing orange avor. Remember, EVOO hasa smoke point o 350 to 375 degrees, so you want to cook the eggson medium/medium-high heat. Drizzle orange EVOO and a little

honey on your toast or something a little dierent. Drizzle yourruit with a bit o balsamic vinegar to make it an extra-special treat.

Need a healthy snack during the day? Cut an apple into wedgesor matchsticks, shave or cut some Manchego cheese into match-sticks, and toss with a drizzle o EVOO. Add some sea salt i you’dlike or a bit o a salty-sweet avor. ry dierent EVOO avorssuch as cinnamon or vanilla or dierent twists on a great snack.

Want to jazz up lunchtime? ry drizzling sundried tomato orrosemary EVOO on a ham or turkey sandwich. Get some crusty bread or a sturdy bun, drizzle EVOO, add meat, cheese, lettuceand tomato, and … voilà! Add a drizzle o basil or lemon EVOO ina roasted tomato soup or a rereshing burst o avor.

Here’s a great twist on a recipe that was eatured on the show David Rocco’s Dolce Vita, episode entitled “Bee enderloin conBalsamico” (recipe at right). Te recipe calls or olive oil, so usea plain or porcini EVOO. o deglaze the pan, the recipe calls orbalsamic vinegar. Why not try an apple or pear balsamic vinegaror a change o pace? Add some whole wheat pasta drizzled withthe porcini EVOO, and asparagus drizzled with lemon EVOO ora ast, easy and delicious dinner.

For dessert, take your avorite brownie mix, substitute the sameamount o chili or orange EVOO or the vegetable oil and bake. I

the chili is too spicy, use ½ chili EVOO and ½ plain EVOO.Using EVOO in your cooking is so easy and will make any

an experience! As a substitute or butter, EVOO will also help you and your heart healthy on the inside. A win-win or every

As Lucy Fowler o Te Cooper Institute in Dallas explains,“A HII exercise program oen entails a lot o resistance andcompound exercises. Compound exercises are holistic in nature,and utilize more muscle and joint systems in large motion ratherthan a small, individual motion.”

wat can hiiT do o m?• i ou -bu pol ol lo

xpu: HII workouts increase your at-burningpotential in less time than it takes to burn the same amounto calories doing your normal steady-paced routine. Even i you increase your intensity and heart rate or just a short time,you’ll burn more calories than you normally would i youmaintained your normal pace or workout intensity. Also, HIItraining has a longer-lasting eect aer you are done workingout, meaning you’ll burn more calories as you recover romyour training session than you would aer a normal workout.

• i h f o ou wokou: You canachieve more in a 15-20 minute HII workout than you would

jogging or walking on a treadmill or 45 minutes.• B h xm bk o wok ou: Boredom is a

major actor in why many people either dislike working out orstop all together. A HII workout brings the excitement back to exercise, revs up your intensity, makes your workouts goast and cuts your training time in hal.

• you o’ ol qupm: With HII, youcan use the same equipment that you’ve been using or simply apply it to your existing walking/running routine. It is done atthe pace you set or yoursel to meet your own goals.

• i ou ob p : As you continue todo HII workouts, your cardiovascular tness will improve,and you’ll be able to exercise at a higher intensity or longer.

According to a 2011 study presented at the American Collegeo Sports Medicine Annual Meeting, just two weeks o high-intensity intervals improves your aerobic capacity as much assix to eight weeks o endurance training.

wat a t ss t hiiT?Every type o exercise has risk involved, and the same holds true orinterval training. I you have not been exercising regularly or havecardiovascular and/or musculoskeletal concerns, you should consultyour physician beore beginning any type o exercise program. Also, youshould start slowly by incorporating interval training into your routineno more than once per week. Be aware o overuse injuries, as you needto give your muscles enough time in between workouts to recover.

Are you ready to increase your calorie burning potential? Doyou want to get a quality workout in less time? Ten give inter-

val training a try! Te possibilities are endless, and you will reachyour tness goals in a more timely and exciting ashion.

Aromatic essential oils in cedar repel pests such as moths,silversh and carpet beetles. For cedar to be eective, you mustbe able to smell it. Cedar can be renewed with a gentle sand-paper rubdown.

Don’t allow abric to touch the cedar. Protect clothing rom theoils in the wood with quilt material or acid-ree paper.

Never use wallpaper or adhesive shel paper to line storagetrunks or shelves, as the backing will attract insects.

Aer many years o back and shoulder pain and visits todierent therapists, I decided to try another approach. Ihad heard many good things about Dr. Amber Erickson,

an area doctor o chiropractic, so I made an appointment.Tat day, I had a beautiul, relaxing drive to Erickson Family

Chiropractic, which is in the Richeld/Hubertus area. Aer beingwarmly greeted upon entering the oce, I was shown to a private

consultation room. Dr. Erickson arrived promptly, and aer intro-ductions, asked me about my health issues. I explained that I hadbeen suering rom upper back and shoulder pain rom an acci-dent that le me with a grade 3 separated shoulder. I also sharedthat I had knee issues rom a repaired ACL and two surgeries.

Aer our discussion, Dr. Erickson perormed a complete physi-cal and neurological exam, including a detailed spinal and jointcheck. She then perormed numerous chiropractic adjustmentson my neck and back, as well as my shoulders and knees. I wasimpressed with how gentle she was. Dr. Erickson was able to sendme out the door eeling better than I had in months! Overall, Ireally appreciated her “natural” approach to medicine and nutri-tion, so I scheduled another appointment or the ollowing week.

Unortunately, that weekend, I took a tumble o my new horse.When I hobbled into her oce or my next appointment, I was ineven more pain than when I had rst seen her. When she askedwhat had happened, I hesitated to tell her since I’d run into enoughdoctors that didn’t appreciate the hobby o horseback riding. AerI explained my incident, she inormed me that she also ownshorses and rides requently, so she completely understood.

Tis is when we started to talk about how there are a lot o actors as to why a horse would act the way my horse did, most

o them coming down to the horse being in pain. She toldthat she did equine chiropractic and bodywork, and that it chelp with my horse’s unexplainable behavior. My horse had constantly swishing his tail and pinning his ears at me whenI had asked or transitions, and sometimes reused the transaltogether, especially the trot to canter. Tis particular time, wI asked or the trot to canter transition, he bucked me o!

Dr. Erickson was able to adjust me and gave me some stretcroutines or at home. I then made an appointment or her to cout and see my horse. When she examined him, she was abreproduce his nasty behavior (head tossing, tail swishing anpinning) right away by touching him in certain places. Aeworked on him or a short time, I could already see him starelax. By the end o the session, he was almost asleep! (Tis a horse that can’t stand still even aer having done 50 mileriding!) When she nished with my horse, she told me to givea ew days o, as he may be sore aer treatment.

Tree days later, I took him out, not expecting much o a chaBut I could tell right away even just tacking him up that hea dierent attitude. While riding him, I could really tell a dience; he was more ocused on me and what I was asking o None o his previous bad behaviors were exhibited. I think hestill anticipating pain at this point, but I could tell he was almsurprised that it didn’t hurt.

I continue to have Dr. Erickson work on both my horse andWe have become a much better team thanks to her!

Dietary ads come andgo, but the gluten-ree movement is

one nutritional trend thatseems to have staying power.Te gluten-ree diet was once

largely exclusive to suererso Celiac disease, a conditionthat damages the lining o the small intestine, prevent-ing it rom absorbing parts o ood the body needs to stay healthy. Tat damage is thebyproduct o the body’s reac-tion to gluten, a term usedto describe proteins ound inspecic grains. But while the gluten-ree diet remains a necessity or those who cannot tolerate gluten, nowadays even non-suerersare embracing the gluten-ree diet or a variety o reasons.

One such reason is non-Celiac gluten sensitivity, or NCGS.Tough NCGS is not as severe as Celiac disease, research hassuggested that a gluten-ree diet can relieve NCGS symptoms,which include abdominal pain and headaches.

Allergies are another reason some people may opt or a gluten-ree diet. Unlike Celiac disease or NCGS, both o which are diges-tive system responses to gluten, wheat allergy is an immune-system response and, like other allergies, can be outgrown. Butuntil a wheat allergy is outgrown, it’s best to avoid oods, including

those with gluten, that mtrigger an allergic reaction

Sleep apnea is a hot health topic these days, yet it’s been adebilitating and oen atal disorder or quite some time.It’s widely known that Reggie White’s death was attrib-

uted to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but long beore that,President Howard a was also aficted with the condition.Indeed, OSA has aected people o all ages, genders and sizesthrough the ages.

OSA is dangerous because it essentially causes a person tostop breathing during sleep, oen or up to a minute. And it’s not

uncommon or these pauses in breathing to occur hundreds o times a night. Le untreated, OSA can not only decrease a person’squality o lie (due to excessive daytime sleepiness), but also resultin serious health concerns including:

Many suerers are unaware that they have OSA. Oen, the part-ners or roommates o these individuals identiy excessive snoring— oen characterized by moments o silence ollowed by a“gasping” or air — as an issue.

Common symptoms o OSA include: excessive daytimeatigue, insomnia, loud snoring, dry mouth, morning headaches,uncontrolled high blood pressure, increasing blood sugars, anddecreased libido or erectile dysunction. I you have noticed any o these, seek diagnosis and treatment.

While it’s commonly thought that OSA predominantly afictsmiddle-aged, overweight men (typically with a neck size > 17

inches), it’s becoming apparent that women and even childreyoung as ten years old can suer rom the condition. So, no myour age, gender or size, i there is a concern, you should diagnosis. It’s easy to diagnose OSA with a sleep study conduat a certied sleep testing acility.

Sleep experts advise that people start with a ree Apneahome sleep screening i they are not certain o the need ull sleep study. Te ApneaLink is a simple, portable dethat can be taken home or a night and brought back to

sleep center the next morning. Tis screening detects abnobreathing patterns during sleep to help determine i a ull sstudy is needed.

It is recommended that people choose to have their stuconducted in “well acilities” that specialize in sleep medicinethat they take time to shop around to make sure their insurplans are compatible. People are also advised to be careul acilities that want to charge them upront.

With more and more patients taking control o their hcosts today, providers are becoming accustomed to phone inries about the total cost o services, so no one should be tentabout asking. What many individuals nd is that a very wide ro charges exists or similar services.

I you or someone you know shows signs o OSA, take actoday. Early diagnosis and treatment can save a lie!

“Good, good, good, good vibrations …” —Te Beach Boys

i had a client recently lament about how his work situation wasso dierent rom his girlriend’s. He works at a job he can’t standbecause he thinks he must do so in order to pay his bills and

live the liestyle he has become accustomed to. His girlriend, on theother hand, le a job she hated in order to nd her passion. She didthis even though she had to make sacrices in her liestyle and work part time aer school in order to support hersel. It was worth it toher, however, because she now gets to do what she loves doing.

According to “cutting edge” physicists, what we think becomesour reality. How does this relate to the work situation o my clientand his girlriend? I we think we have to work or do somethingthat we don’t want to do, we will ultimately attract MORE o whatwe don’t want. Our thoughts are energetic vibrations that are sent

out into the universe. Once they are sent out, they start to maniestin our physical world, sending o a chain reaction o cause andeect. Since energy attracts like energy, negative energy attractsmore o the same — negative energy.

Toughts aren’t the only energy vibrations that do this. Feel-ings and emotions do the same thing. So, i we are really eelingnegatively about something, more negative eelings will ultimately come back to us. Likewise, positive emotions send out higherrequency vibrations that magnetize and bring more positiv-ity. Another term or this is called “snowballing.” When things“snowball” out o proportion, the energy in a given situation keepsgrowing and expanding.

“Your work is going to ll a large part o your lie, and the only way to be truly satised is to do what you believe is great work. And theonly way to do great work is to love what you do.” —Steve Jobs

My business coach, Shelley Riutta, is a holistic psychotherapist andthe ounder o the Global Association o Holistic Psychotherapy andCoaching. She maintains, “In order or people to truly be happy, they need to be in ull alignment with their lie purpose.” Most o us whounderstand the dynamics o universal energy agree. When thinking

about one’s lie purpose, several questions need to come into mWho am I? Why am I here? What are my gis and passions? WhI do with them? Can I make a living utilizing them?

Tese are essential lie questions that many o us oen ask, ecially during crises. Unortunately, or one reason or another, o us end up sabotaging ourselves by never answering these qtions. Te ew people that do answer them rarely let the revelao those answers help motivate them to improve their lives.seven mistakes that block one rom reaching his or her lie pasand purpose are:1. Hanging on to past issues that block you.2. Being separated rom your authentic sel.3. Perpetuating what others think and expect o you, and m

taining rigid thinking.4. Not knowing or being disconnected rom your passion.

5. Not knowing your unique gis.6. Cutting yoursel o rom sel-exploration.7. Living with limited thinking and diminished dreams.

“o be in the kingdom is to merely ocus your ull attention on ithave to be willing to perceive nothing else.” —“A Course in Mira

—Helen Schuc

So is it really possible to nd your lie purpose and live it Yes! But it takes aligning your intention and accompanying ings with believing it will happen. What you put out really comes back to you. In order to change your ocus to lie paspossibility and purpose, you need to take steps to discover wthey are. Ten, with perseverance, you have the power to mainthem — continually creating and living your lie the way you wit. Your lie becomes a kingdom that maniests outward, enabyou to live in joy and authenticity.

lately, I’ve elt stressed out, overwhelmed and easily trig-gered into a deep sense o dread by tasks that I usually handle easily — answering the work phone, making lunch

or my daughter, doing the dishes aer a ull day — all simpletasks. I would try to remind mysel to breathe more deeply or o how much I love this work o lie: helping people, parenting andkeeping a house; but I couldn’t shake the “overwhelm.”

Now, aer ve days at Lake Superior, I can reect that I needed

time away to do nothing. I hadn’t had more than a ew sustainedhours away rom work or over a year. Yes, I love my work and lie,so I don’t oen get the eeling that I need a vacation, but my mindand soul were craving other things.

When time away by Lake Superior emerged as a possibility, Iound it surprisingly easy to cover my responsibilities. My partnerand I quickly packed up our Kombuchas, sardines, wintergreenessential oil, pocket knie and iPhones, jumped into my black Prius and le Madison. Six hours later, we arrived on the shoreso the immense lake, near the Devils Island sandstone sea caves inCornucopia, Wisconsin … with nothing to do.

What did I nd? Simple beauty: my toes meeting the lake asthe sur came in and le, came in and le; an aquamarine bugI’d never seen beore crawling on my hand; nothingness; lightmeeting sand; a daddy longlegs scurrying across a stone sculpture.I also ound memory and transormation. I remembered when, asa child, I would pull those towering, thread-like legs o the beauti-ul brown body and I elt horried, horried that I could add tothe suering o the world. I shivered and moved on, pleased at thechanges in mysel.

Later that day, I ound an amber moon setting on the easternhorizon o the lake, becoming a glowing tooth and then dropping

down to a pinpoint o light. Moon on Lake Superior ... I had nseen the moon set in this way. Later, unbeknownst to usPerseid meteor shower appeared. (How did that happen?) Twe had the pleasure o viewing the Northern Lights. All onatural beauty in one night, as we sat on a deserted beach neour campre.

I like this thing called lie!Sometimes I nd it challenging to really share the depth o

healing that I’d like or everyone. Yes, enemas work. Each day when I answer the phone or read the emails at work, I get to enjoy stories about how lives have been prooundly improved. Here isone such story:

“About 6 months ago, thanks to a ew blogs and your inormati-onal website, my lie changed. Literally. I lost hal o my colon and rectum rom cancer. Lie was miserable. With no rectum, I lived on

Imodium and was not eating because I went to the bathroom or hours at a time. Anyway, I learned about your enemas and now havea lie away rom the restroom. I there is anyone you think I can helpthat is going through a rough time and is on the ence about every-day enemas, let me know. Now I’m able to get back in lie. I am very grateul or your passion and willingness to share your knowledge.Cranked up my hobby band again. Tank you soooo much.” —Bob S.

I wrote back:“Tis is awesome, Bob, and any more details would be useul! I’m

sure your story will make a dierence to others. I’m so happy you ound the enema!” —Kristina

Bob replied:“OK, kiddo, here goes … Lie was miserable aer losing hal o

my colon and my rectum due to stage 3 colon/rectal cancer. With noholding tank (rectum), eces would ease out 24/7. Tree to our hoursat a time with brie breaks. Te area stayed inamed rom overuse.Sleep? Forget about it. Got to where I would not go anywhere. As grateul as I was or my doctors saving my lie, I was just misera-ble. Was told the only option was a permanent colostomy. I tried all kinds o oods, including high-ber options to slow it down, but nothing worked. Was diagnosed with LARS (lower anterior resec-tion syndrome). Imodium no go. ried everything over the counter.No go. I didn’t have loose bowels or constipation, just no holding

tank. Like a Pez candy dispenser, just constant small pellet elimina-tions. Food in general would trigger bathroom duty. My record was23 trips to the restroom in an hour and a hal one Tanksgiving. My parents just hugged me and le crying.

Enough pity pot; let’s get into solutions. Te rst enema I took gaveme 23 hours o no bathroom duty. Yup, you read that right. Based on my experience, anyone that would benet rom emptying their large colon would benet rom what I call a proper enema. Was I scared to do an enema aer the aermath o chemo, surgeries, radi-ation, etc., etc., etc.? Sure, but I was desperate. A proper enema tome is as Kristina (angel with wings) suggests on her website. It gaveso much inormation. I had never read that a daily enema was anoption. Well, drum roll: I have done an enema a day or about vemonths, and guess what? No problems. Why? Beats me; I just did what was suggested. Bought a stainless bucket, quality surgical hoseand medium-size nozzle. Used salve, essential oil blend Purication,splash o sea salt, goat’s milk soap, warm water and my iPad (some-thing to read). Forty-ve minutes later, all done. As in 24 hours done.

Can you do an enema every day without problems? Absolutely. Just get the proper equipment (goes a lot aster) and the proper addi-tives to mix in the warm water. A little weird at rst with the ow o water; however, I don’t even think about it anymore. A little crampy

in 2003, when Endeavor Terapy & Sleep Center (Endeavor)opened in Mequon, there were no other sleep testing acilitiesin the area. “I a person needed an overnight sleep study, they

had to drive into Milwaukee at night, and a lot o people weren’tcomortable doing that,” shares Karen Block, owner o Endeavor.

Karen, a healthcare provider in the area since 1979, had a strongbelie that people should be able to be tested and treated in theirown communities, so the need or a acility o this kind was very apparent to her.

Her vision was to have the sleep center be as patient riendly,convenient and cost eective as possible. “We looked at thenormal procedures at other sleep centers and then wanted toimprove upon the experience, rom start to nish,” explains Karen.

She envisioned a process where Endeavor would: receive an orderrom a patient’s physician; do the insurance verication and preauthorization; call the patient to let them know their benets andcost; schedule the patient or their testing; and get the results back to their physician in one week’s time. Karen believed that the expe-dited process would help the patient realize the importance o notonly their sleep disorder diagnosis, but also the need to start treat-ment as soon as possible.

“Controlling the cost to our patients was a major goal o minebecause I didn’t want nancial issues to be a barrier that preventsa person rom getting a diagnosis and treatment or a major healthissue like a sleep disorder,” Karen explains.

Karen’s initial ocus on the needs o the patients and cost contain-ment have denitely paid o. oday, Endeavor is a growing, well-respected, health care resource, with clients rom all over southeast-ern Wisconsin. “We pride ourselves on oering the highest quality study at a much lower cost; in act, our rates are one-quarter o hospital sleep labs and their aliates’ rates,” says Karen.

In addition to accessibility, education is an ongoing priority atEndeavor. “We take every opportunity to inorm the public aboutthe importance o sleep or our health, as well as the ramicationso poor-quality sleep. People need to realize that i they are not

getting the sleep they need, they will havelong-lasting side eectswith their health,”Karen shares. By iden-tiying sleep disordersand getting treatmentin a timely manner,people can avoid thosehealth consequences.Tat is the motivationbehind Endeavor’scommunity awareness

project, which makeshome sleep screening devices available FREE OF CHARGE.

“I wish I had this inormation or my ather 25 years agowas a loud snorer who had breathing stoppages. Dad was dnosed with high blood pressure, which his physician had dicontrolling, and developed ype 2 diabetes in his 50s, leadin“mini” strokes in later years. He died at 69. At that time, sleepnot looked at; i it was, he might be here still today,” laments K

I you are concerned about your own or a loved one’s sissues, call Endeavor today! Te state-o-the-art acility is a “tindependently owned, Medicare-certied, ull-service sleep cethat has your best interest at heart. I you are diagnosed wsleep disorder, Endeavor also oers quality CPAP and Biequipment and supplies or your convenience.
