There are 7 main energy centers in the body, known as chakras. Dr. Armitstead explains that  each chakra has a certain location, color and correlation to specific body parts, mental thoughts and emotional moods. When the energy center, or chakra, is blocked or weak physical or emotional dysfunction can occur. When we release the blocked energy it can undo tightness, stiffness, or malfunction in the body or the mind. There are different ways of releasing the energy including movement, wearing colored glasses and more!   Since Dr. Armitstead is a chiropractor and she is all about releasing stuck energy in the spine, joints and muscles of the body to help patients it was only a matter of time before she started to release blocked chakra energy in her patients as well.  Listen to this podcast if you are interested in learning more about chakras, how to heal energy and want better mental and emotional health.

Your body uses electrical signals to accomplish every vital function  to maintain your health, from your heartbeat and brainwaves to cell growth and sensory perception. Electrical waves flow throughout your entire body, generating electric current that in turn generates biologically relevant magnetic fields. Thus, you are an electromagnetic being, and the EMF’s or electromagnetic fields measurable in your body confirm this. Western medicine, in fact, relies on these measurements for many of their tests, from the electrocardiogram (EKG) to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

As an electromagnetic being, it is not hard to understand that exposure to powerful and unnatural electromagnetic radiation can affect your body, and therefore your health. Electronics are with us everywhere we turn and the amount and complexity of what we encounter is growing at a startling rate. With so much attachment, ease and connection to our devices what we have failed to notice is the effects it has on our body.  Dr. Armitstead explains in this episode how radiation toxicity can cause fatigue, eye soreness, headaches, migraines, insomnia, brain fog , memory loss, cancer and more.

With 5G now coming into the picture what does that mean for our health and what steps can we do to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

In this episode Dr. Armitstead explains how the adrenal glands and specifically the hormone cortisol, have so much power over our functioning. When the adrenal glands are working properly they offer balance – providing us with energy when we require it, and helping us feel relaxed when it’s time to rest. The burden is great on our adrenals, and they can become impaired under the heels of long term stress. Dr. Armitstead shows you how  you can make small choices that can dramatically impact their functioning for the better. She goes into details of what good nutrition, exercise, relaxation, and sleep our adrenal glands need to heal and shows you by reducing stress levels, our adrenal glands will work in harmony with us, and our energy and vitality will be renewed.  Always remember on your healing journey, be compassionate with yourself  and your body, knowing your only goal is to make better choices than yesterday and that we are here to help.
