Continuing our Wellness Journey - Communicating
 This week our journey focuses on the power of Communicating, the 9th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. This section focuses almost exclusively on verbal communication, exploring the dynamics of how people talk to themselves and one another. It also looks at the breakdowns in communication that can occur. As you come to understand and appreciate this process, you may simultaneously understand and appreciate yourself. The clearer the channel (you), the better the possibilities for a meaningful encounter--a dynamic energy exchange. View more
Simply Well - "Create a Bigger Picture of Health" - John W. Travis, MD, MPH
In "Create a Bigger Picture of Health" John W. Travis, M.D., M.P.H., cautions against overconcern for personal health, as obsession with health can be every bit as wasteful of your human potential as ignorance and carelessness can be. He advocates creating a bigger vision where you put your personal concerns in perspective, and are subsumed and fulfilled by a greater need, a greater possibility, a greater love. View more

Healthy Living with Natural Medicine - "Non-Hormonal Therapies for Dealing with Peri Menopause and Menopause" - Holly Lucille, RN, ND
While the fluctuation and decline of reproductive hormones is a normal and expected event in mid-life women, the associated symptoms are nonetheless disruptive. Until very recently, millions of women alleviated their hot flashes and night sweats with conjugated equine estrogens and medroxyprogesterone acetate (hormone replacement therapy or HRT). With research showing increased risk for women using HRT of developing breast cancer, coronary heart disease, pulmonary embolism, and stroke, physicians are increasingly turning to natural non-hormonal therapies for women who need relief from menopausal symptoms.

"Reiki Treatment" - Pamela Miles
A Reiki treatment is pleasant, soothing, relaxing, and centering. It can also be gently energizing, depending on the recipient's current state. Reiki is always balancing, and follows the need of the receiver, not the intention of the practitioner. Besides immediate stress-reduction and symptomatic relief, there are other subtle and profound effects that unfold over time and accumulate with continued treatment. View more
Integrator Blog - "With Standards in the Works, Is it Time to Claim, and Certify, the Health Coach Within?"
The concept of coaching patients toward healthy behavior is deeply embedded in many integrative disciplines and practices. The healthcoach.com website, for instance, was claimed at the dawn of the worldwide web by a naturopathic doctor. The use of a health coach as a distinctive practice, however, evolved separately and more recently in the employee health and manage care industries. Now federal health reform legislation has highlighted the potential in health coaching. Nursing and integrative medicine leaders associated with Harvard University, University of Minnesota and the The Institute for Integrative Health have begun a defining process toward setting national standards and certification. The official kick-off is a Health and Wellness Coaching Invitational Summit this month. Representatives of the chiropractic and naturopathic disciplines have been invited. In reductive political terms, health coaching is broadly shared turf. All integrative practice fields that claim to be health creating have skin in this game of figuring out what is, certifiably, a health coach. View more

Vegan Global Fusion - "Making the Most of Miso" - Louise Hagler
In "Making the Most of Miso," Louise Hagler, a pioneer in creating vegan cuisine with tofu and other soyfoods to satisfy the western palate, introduces this traditional cultured and fermented food from Asia that contains beneficial bacteria and enzymes to aid digestion, along with other healthful attributes. Miso is a live food that is best purchased unpasteurized, according to Louise. When cooking with miso, it is best to never let it boil, since boiling will destroy the beneficial bacteria and enzymes. She offers a great Cucumber Gazpacho recipe which is excellent for miso since it calls for no cooking at all. View More
Chef Teton's Essential Cuisine: Making Every Bite Count
"Flax Oil: Eat Like the Roman and Exhibit Strength, Stamina, Mental Clarity and Beauty!"
To many, the aroma of freshly-baked bread is so pleasant that it's almost intoxicating! According to historical record, soldiers of the Roman Empire marched with rations of bread baked with flaxseed meal and flax seed oil 9000 years ago. Flax may be responsible for why the Romans were so successful in their conquests. One major reason why is that the type of fat consumed is linked with your state of mind. View More

| SPONSOR- TEECCINO HERBAL COFFEE |
 Kick the Caffeine Habit This Year - Destress with Teeccino Caffeine Free Herbal Coffee
Coffee drinkers may be surprised to learn that herbal coffee actually has nutritional benefits which help nourish and keep the body healthy. Coffee, on the other hand, only supplies the drug, caffeine, which stimulates your adrenal glands but does not provide energy - actually it could deplete the body's energy reserves. Teeccino, the first herbal coffee on the market, is a blend of herbs, grains, fruits and nuts that are roasted, ground and brewed just like coffee. Dark, rich, and full-bodied, Teeccino brings you all the satisfaction of a robust brew with no caffeine reaction. Teeccino tastes mildly sweet from dates and figs, with only 15 calories per cup.
