So why are Americans
so unhappy and unhealthy?
Why are we
suffering increasing numbers of chronic diseases – heart disease, diabetes,
reproductive issues and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety?
Do we just have a
deficiency of blood pressure medication, lipotor, glucophage, and prozac?
Something is
wrong, dramatically wrong with us. I
like to believe that it is something that can be changed or reversed with holistic intervention, wholesome food choices and improving our parts of our lives that nurture us - our foundational food.
One of the most
fundamental concepts of an integrative approach is the idea of
bio-individuality. We are all
different. All it takes is tapping into
and peeling the onion back - your layers of impressions about who and what you are - to get down the innate happiness you have inherit in your body, mind and spirit.
So, what does
that mean?
Your Foundation - the FOOD of Life!
To us, everything is
food. We take in life in thousands of
ways – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
We even hunger
for play, for touch for self-expression, passion and adventure. All of these things are a form of nourishment. These things determine
the extent to which our lives feel enjoyable, fulfilling, and worth while. When did you play last?
Foundational food is
what we call life – relationships, self-expression, exercise and movement,
spirituality, career, financial, sexuality, education, social life, home life,
joy, health and education.
When your foundation is in balance and fulfilling, your live feed you, making what you eat, do for a living or think secondary.
When we use other things like food, drugs, alcohol, prescriptions and hiding from our lives, we get into an imbalance. Or when we ignore our foundational food, the
secondary food takes on an inappropriate level of importance, consuming our
thoughts, actions and desires. We seek comfort outside ourselves.
If our foundation feeds us, our lives are nourished at a whole new level.
So how do you change your mood?
We first address mood issues with science - we provide laboratory testing of neurotransmitter levels (brain chemistry) that affect your mood. From this test we administer natural therapies to alleviate imbalances. we have counselors, coaches and energy psychologists that can also work together with you to assist you in leading the life you want to lead.
