Empower yourself with information about your health PART 2

Nutritional Consultation and Holistic Health

Nutrition is more than what you eat, but how you nourish and care for your whole self. During a consultation, all aspects of your health will be taken into account.

The consultation consists of a comprehensive personal interview which evaluates diet, health history, current health concerns, supplements, and medications, along with lifestyle, constitution (immediate family history), and daily workload. You will gain a better understanding of what your body needs and what steps you must take to be healthy.

An estimated 50% Americans take nutritional supplements. You can eliminate a lot of guesswork, while working with a trained professional who can assist you in developing a nutritional program that is tailored to you as an individual.

Holistic healthcare is the use of therapies that are designed to enhance well-being by promoting health for the whole person, rather than a specific symptom or disease only. It promotes health by assisting balance of mind, body and spirit. Scientific studies indicate the mind-body connection is an important aspect of health and wellness. the concept can be summed up in this biblical proverb, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”

I believe that health is an ongoing process involving the whole individual who can become empowered through education and knowledge. My goal is to teach others the best possible ways to improve the quality of their lives. I practice a client centered approach to wellness enabling the individual to make choices that best fit their lifestyle, budget and mind. I endeavor to restore wholeness to each individual by helping them maintain control over their healthcare choices.

The following are services that can be used in consultations and coaching sessions. I will indicate the services off site and on site. I can interpret all results from the tests listed.

Hair mineral analysis: in office sample/off site lab: See part one of this blog to learn more about Mineral analysis.

Biofeedback: in office: Stress can become habitual and you can even forget how to relax sometimes; however, biofeedback can teach you how to get back to a more relaxed state. Although biofeedback is helpful to treat stress, it can also help a number of other conditions listed on my web page.

Saliva testing: off site sample and lab: thyroid panel, gastro-intestinal health panel using saliva and bowel, adrenal stress index, female and male hormone panels, post menopause hormone panel. Saliva testing is non-invasive and can be performed wherever you are. There are no stressful blood draws or bio hazards. With blood tests, a number of borderline conditions may be missed. Hormones can either be free, as in saliva, or bound to protein, as in blood. Research has determined that the free hormone fractions found in saliva most significantly influence living cells. Saliva tests help minimize using too much or too little natural hormone replacement and supplementation, insuring proper hormones in the appropriate amounts.

Other tests that can be used are: Amino acid profile (a urine test) and Bone Marker Test (a urine test). I can discuss these if you feel you would want to look into these tests.

No disease monsters

There are no disease monsters. Create your world. Move from the outer, “incurable”, fear world, to the inner, “be still”, world, AND crush the negative. Discover how empowering you can be.

Do you feel like you have to take care of everything because no one else will? Lyme, co-infections, allergies and Alpha-gal (AG) have direct correlation with intimacy issues, vulnerability, emotional commitment; these issues are people support starved, frustrated and resentful.

Part of healing, for me, has been getting to the core of what and why causes it to stick in me (the AG). I knew, because of the work I do, it could not be the fault of the tick creating the awful allergy symptoms; my body should be able to combat that stuff. It was deeper, inside, and not just outer symptoms or measurable data.

The mind IS the body and it is in all parts of the body. When we decide we are not victims, and act as so, the seemingly “monsters” or “weeds” cannot survive. #holisticmud #naturalhelpinghands #healthlivegive

THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT TO MISS LISTENING TO

I agree with this doctor, who had learned some great lessons in life and practice. There are many backwards thinking ideas running around; I am one who is in this very world of making a difference and changing that thinking.

Let this sink in

The Dangers of (and Alternatives to) Breast Lumpectomy and Biopsy

24 Jan

Break up, hand it over, and claim it

No longer a slave to fear…Fear is a liar…own it..claim it (whatever it is you have been given–healing, life, light)…I did, so can you.

OXYGEN…YAHWEH…MESSIAH…HOLY SPIRIT…AMAZING! Thank you FATHER!

Sing fear, you don’t own me
There ain’t no room in this story
And I ain’t got time for you
Telling me what I’m not
Like you know me well guess what?
I know who I am
I know I’m strong, brave
And I am free
Got my own identity
So fear, you will never be welcome here
Whoa, goodbye, goodbye fear
Whoa, you will never be welcome here

You are holy
You are righteous
You are one of the redeemed
Set apart a brand new heart
You are free indeed
Every mountain every valley
Thru each heartache you will see
Every moment brings you closer
To who you were meant to be

Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You’re going to do great things,
I already know,
God’s got His hand on you so,
Don’t live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don’t forget why you’re here,
Take your time and pray,
Thank God for each day,
His love will find a way,

I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I am surrounded
By the arms of the father
I am surrounded
By songs of deliverance
We’ve been liberated
From our bondage
Were the sons and the daughters
Let us sing our freedom

Let Your fire fall and cast out all my fears
Let Your fire fall Your love is all I feel
Cast your fear in the fire
‘Cause fear he is a liar

THIS IS MY LATEST VIDEO BLOG, A BIT LONG, CLOSE TO 10 MINUTES, BUT I HAD TO SAY IT ALL 🙂

I want _____ back.

What is in your blank? “I want my health back”. “I want my life ten years ago back.” “I want the person you were back.”

Life does not stop. Life cannot be turned back. We would love to turn back time.

One thing that stood out to me in the new Mary Poppins Returns movie: time is what it is and life is what it is, and there is no where to go but up. Everyone asked Mary Poppins to do the impossible, turn back time; if she always seems to do the impossible with imagination, surely she can turn back time. What occurred was not magic; what occurred was creative thinking and a forward, upward thinking mindset. She moved the hands of the clock back at just the right moment, and gave needed time to those who were racing to beat it. Time did not change. Life was moving forward and fast. Many helping hands, unseen by the ones needing more time, stepped in to save their friends in need. It was all a matter of perseverance and forward focus. It was all a matter of setting the mind to utilize instead of wallow.

I want the world I had 2 years ago when I could eat anything I wanted any time. I cannot have that back, and maybe I do not want that after-all. Maybe there are things unseen, people or energies behind the scenes, that I needed to come in contact with. Maybe this is just how it was suppose to be for reasons I may not ever know.

Read the article below. I will be meditating upon it these coming days. There is no where to go but up.

This isn’t how life is supposed to be

Food Allergies and Sensitivities – Making Sense of the Struggle – Holistic Options

Food allergies rock your world! They rocked mine. In this class I will help you take an active and empowering role in your daily struggle with this “sensitive” topic (pun intended). In the class you will:

Learn about the ingredients in the foods you eat.
- I will share with you lists of things to watch for, especially common things that can fall under a different name. Manufacturers can change ingredients in their products without notice. If you have to be mammal free like me, there are many things to look for that you would not generally think of. I learned much of this by experience and can help you avoid some of the hardships.
Learn the importance of telling anyone preparing your meals about your food sensitivities, depending on the severity of your symptoms.
- That includes family, friends, and waiters. At restaurants, it’s always smart to speak up about your sensitivities since many times unsafe ingredients can pop up on your plate without your knowledge and navigating the menu can be confusing. I will help you make this easier.
Learn how to stock your pantry with safe foods and appropriate substitutes to keep you on track and to reduce cravings.
- This is a fun topic. There are so many options out there now that were not available just 10 years ago.
Learn some holistic options for reactions when they are not anaphylactic.
Learn a simple way to keep a health journal.

Bring your questions. I will have plenty of resources if it cannot be answered in class.

REGISTRATION

OPTION ONE: Tuesday, July 17, 11:30 to 1 pm
OPTION TWO: Tuesday, July 17, 6:30-8 p.m.
$8 per person (adults)

FAITHFUL AND FIT PROGRAM

I want to begin working out with groups of people with the same goals as me: To stay fit and healthy, both spiritually and physically. I have been a part of the Faithful Workouts program for a couple years, and I have gone through the leader program. I will use this program for the workouts I lead. Below is what Faithful Workouts is all about:

I’m Michelle Spadafora, and I want to personally welcome you to Faithful Workouts! I’ve been in the fitness industry since 1984 and have met so many people who struggle to consistently make healthy choices. I’ve listened to their frustrations and wanted to offer them a program that would allow them to reach their goals. While praying, I felt like God was asking me to take a totally new approach to fitness. It’s because of the stories from people like you and from God’s prompting that I created our Faithful & Fit Plan.

WHAT’S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT OUR APPROACH?

I created Faithful Workouts to be a place where you can come and strengthen your relationship with God while you strengthen your body and mind – a place where you can find great workouts for all fitness levels, receive simple, practical nutrition information, and connect with a real community who knows that the journey to better health is more about encouraging each other and less about being perfect. If you want to get (and stay) healthy for the long term alongside a community who will cheer you on, then you’re in the right place. https://www.faithfulworkouts.com/

I will begin sessions with the following: ( if you have ideas for better times and days, please send feedback)

Tuesday, July 24, 8 a.m. Sessions will run 30-45 minutes, including warm up and cool down. Cost will be $5 per person per week.
