We thought it was a good time to dive into the topic of RELATIONSHIPS, as this was the topic requested in our private facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/alterhealth/) - which, by the way, you are free to join!
We all know the importance of cultivating peace in our lives when it comes to our experience of health on all levels of our being. For most humans (use included!) our experience in relationships can be very challenging, especially in those relationships that matter most to us.
In this conversation we talk about deepening our understanding of where stress actually comes from, which supports how we show up in relation to ourself and others.
Some take aways include...
- The inside out understanding of life - all experience comes from our thought in the moment
- How family and loved ones know our triggers, because they installed them!
- Relating to life as a practice and the importance of self-compassion and being easy on ourselves
- The power of thought to transform even the darkest, most upset moment
- What you resist persists - the more you want someone to change, the less they change
- The power of unconditional love and acceptance in the moment

Some highlights of this conversation include...
- Ella's journey in becoming a professional artist
- The stroke of insight that led to creating Spirit-Up

Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil... the hallmark of a healthy mediterranean diet, right?
Not so fast!
In this conversation we talk about why oil, even the most expensive and best quality, is NOT a health food.
While we generally recommend that all of our clients and patients avoid oil to optimally heal, we understand that we can eat out at restaurants and it can "slip in" from time to time. We keep you informed of those oils that are total dealbreakers for your health, and those that can be included in moderation, depending on your health goals. For a closer look on what you need to know about FAT, check out this article - https://www.alter.health/post/bursting-the-fat-bubble
Some take aways include...
- How added oils interfere with your health
- The most important oils to avoid - corn, canola, soy ("vegetable oil")
- Different fatty acids and how they do different things in your body
- Basic tips on cooking oil free - definitely check out our youtube video - https://youtu.be/JqX5g3WuOd0
- What about coconut oil and olive oil???

Dr. Zach is NOT your traditional chiropractor. He is absolutely a soul-brother who speaks deep truth on the topics of consciousness, health, and healing.
In this conversation we cover everything from chiropractic philosophy and neuromuscular physiology to consciosuness and keys for deep holistic healing. It was such a joy to connect with Zach and his enthusiasm for what he does, which is such alignment with our mission and values at Alter Health.
Some highlights of this conversation include...

Hormones are complicated! But here, we simplify things to give you what you really need to know to live an empowered and healthy life. That's our mission :)
We cover common patterns having to do with reproductive hormones for both women and men, along with the topic of adrenals and stress hormones.
Some take aways include...
- ALL hormones are completely interconnected - you mess with one, you mess with all
- The pituitary is the master of all hormones
- Your adrenals pick up the slack when other endocrine glands are stressed and overworked
- The liver is responsible for detoxifying excess hormonal breakdown products - so important for maintaining balance!
- Oxytocin is a super powerful "feel good" hormone that we can all boost to support our healing

On this week in the "local series" our guest is Kat Taylor, founder of Kailo Organic Chakra Therapy.
The topic of the Chakras, even though grounded in thousand year old traditions, can be viewed as a bit "out there" and "woo woo" in today's society. The truth is that so much of what ancient traditions have taught us for millennia is indeed grounded in science! In this conversation, Kat explains her multidimensional work with the chakras and how coming at them from many different angles and energies can support optimal health and balance.
Some highlights of this conversation include...
* What the chakras actually are
* How color and sound influence the energetics of the body
* The psychoemotional opportunities embedded in each energy center
* The relationships between the physical and energetic anatomy
* How essential oils might influence the vitality of the chakra system
* Taking a spiritual based approach to chakra balancing

On week two of this "local series" I sit down with an old time family doctor, Greg Feinsinger.
I learned about Dr. Feinsinger before moving to Carbondale when a friend mentioned there was an awesome plant based doctor who gave lots of talks and offered free health consultations in the community. How awesome! It is so cool to be in a community where there is indeed a huge plant based movement, thanks largely to Dr. Feinsinger.
In this conversation we cover a lot - from his 42 years of clinical practice to his personal health transformation.
Some highlights of this conversation include...
- The lack of nutritional education in medical training
- How Greg woke up to the power of food to heal
- The many conditions that are easily reversed on a plant based diet
- How Greg began to experience optimal health late in life
- Ways to stay active, fit, and healthy at any stage of life

You probably know how to breathe. And you probably don't think much about it. But, So many people are actually walking around breathing totally improperly, which leads to a whole host of health conditions, both in terms of our physiology and our psychology.
The breath is the link between mind and body and in this episode we talk about how to consciously use breath to modulate both our physiology and our psychology.
Some take aways include...
- Nose breathing is VERY important
- Mouth breathing can be a major cause of sleep apnea (and a poor nights sleep)
- The nose filters air and removes toxins and pathogens
- Your mouth is designed for eating (and speaking)
- The diaphragm contracts to pull air into your lungs
- Stale air and toxins often rest in stagnant air at the base of the lungs
- Inhalation activates the sympathetic (stress response) nervous system
- Exhalation promotes the parasympathetic (rest, digest, heal) branch of the ANS
