    24-18 Consider Taking These Supplements For Strains, Sprains, Tears, and Broken Bones

    24-18 Consider Taking These Supplements For Strains, Sprains, Tears, and Broken Bones

    Episode 24:18 Consider Taking These Supplements For Strains, Sprains, Tears, and Broken Bones
    People often ask me if nutritional supplements can help their body heal.
    My answer is always a resounding “Yes.”
    This is especially true when the healing involves muscles, bones, ligaments or tendons.
    Or, stated another way, when a person is recovering from a strain, sprain, pull, tear, or broken bone.
    On this episode I share with you several nutritional supplements to consider when dealing with any of these issues.
    Supplements I have been using with patients, with great success, for over 35 years.
    Give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.
    Thanks!

    24-17 Breakfast: What To Eat, When To Eat… Should You Eat?

    Episode 24:17 Breakfast: What To Eat, When To Eat… Should You Eat?
    On last week’s episode we talked about the importance of having a healthy morning routine.
    Specifically, we talked about a morning routine centered around SWEEP:
    Sunlight.
    Water.
    Earthing.
    Exercise.
    Prayer.
    On this week’s episode we add a very important factor:
    Breakfast.
    Specifically, we address three very important questions regarding breakfast:
    1) What to eat?
    2) When to eat?
    3) Should you eat (breakfast)?
    Answering these questions in the best way possible for YOUR body will go a long way towards improving your health.
    As will listening to the episode… and sharing it with a friend.
    Thanks!

    24-16 The Healthiest Way To Start Your Day

    24-16 The Healthiest Way To Start Your Day

    Episode 24:16 The Healthiest Way To Start Your Day
    One of the best ways to assess a person’s health is by asking them to describe the first hour of their day.
    For some people, that first hour is jam packed with activity… stressful activity.
    It starts with an alarm clock and then morphs into a flurry of events culminating with some unhealthy food item being jammed into their mouth as they race out the door.
    For other people, that first hour is a relaxing, yet productive, time filled with health-promoting activities.
    Activities that properly prepare their body and mind for the day ahead.
    On this episode we take a look at those activities.
    Healthy activities designed to strengthen you… not stress you out.
    Activities that can make a tremendous difference in your day AND in your life.
    Give this episode a good listen and share it with a friend.
    Thanks!

    24-15 The Amazing Healing Power Of Grounding (Earthing)

    24-15 The Amazing Healing Power Of Grounding (Earthing)

    Episode 24:15 The Amazing Healing Power Of Grounding (Earthing)
    Fasting is one way to reduce inflammation and help your body heal.
    Improving your mindset through prayer and/or meditation is another.
    Both require effort.
    Effort you may not be excited about making… or you may not feel well enough to make.
    Fortunately there’s another way.
    A natural way to reduce inflammation and help your body heal.
    A “remedy” that is safe, effective, and requires NO effort.
    It’s called Grounding.
    Also known as Earthing, Grounding involves being outside with your bare feet on the ground.
    This direct connection to the earth is “Nature’s Anti-Inflammatory.”
    On this episode we talk about Grounding.
    What it is… how it works… and what you need to do to get started.
    It’s a fascinating topic.
    A topic that couldn’t be easier, less expensive, or more helpful.
    Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
    Thanks!

    24-14 The Mind-Body Connection

    24-14 The Mind-Body Connection

    Episode 24:14 The Mind-Body Connection
    Your health… what goes on in your BODY… is not just a reflection of what you have been doing.
    It’s also a reflection of what you have been THINKING.
    In fact, what you have been “thinking” has more of an impact on your health than what you have been “doing.”
    It’s true.
    It’s important, therefore, to make sure your mindset is healthy.
    That you think health-promoting thoughts.
    On last week’s episode we talked about one way to improve your mindset.
    On this episode we share two more.
    Two truths that will improve your mindset AND your health.
    Give this episode a good listen and then share it with a friend.
    Thanks!

Helpful Info, Covid vaccine

I think we all need to better educate ourselves when it comes to the coronavirus and COVID-19. Enjoyed Dr. Burroughs thoughts and comments on the vaccine, the importance of staying healthy and why the vaccine IS NOT the best choice for people that are trying to avoid COVID altogether. Lots of helpful tips on mask-wearing was a bonus 👍🏻
