Are you suffering? If you are like some of my clients, you’ve suffered from “it happened when . . .” syndrome. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, and this month I am talking about cancers and how they are destroying people’s lives in a lot of different ways every day. My own mother in law just recently passed away from brain cancer, and my wife Kim and her sibling were the primary caregivers of their mother. As Kim took care of her mom and her own family, she knew that she needed to be extra careful with herself due to the extra stress in her life. You can hear more of her story in The Feeling Good Podcast episode 85.
People can often trace their poor health back to traumatic or stressful events in their life. This is known as “it happened when . . .” syndrome. Are you suffering? Let me help! Many people go through traumatic experiences and hold their feelings inside and do not talk about it with others. Open communication is important when going through a difficult trial. I suggest talking about what is going on rather than holding it inside. When you hold things inside, it binds it up, and that binding can make you sick. Talking about it gives you freedom!
You might be thinking I don’t need to talk about my problems, symptoms or condition. I can deal with it on my own. Let me ask you a question? How is it working for you so far? Or maybe you are concerned that you can’t afford to work with me, but can you afford to suffer through life because you didn’t ask for help? I offer a FREE non-committal fifteen minute session to any prospective client to determine if there is a good fit for working together, so there’s no reason to suffer without seeking help.
Schedule a call with me today for a health consultation and find the right coaching package to get you feeling good again! You can choose to have your session in person, over the phone or with video conference software.
Healthy Blessings,

Just as the name implies, supplements are to supplement our diet. There is no substitute for getting our nutrients from real food. Unfortunately with the food sources that we have today, it is not always possible to get all the necessary nutrients that our bodies require. Sometimes nutritional supplements can be essential for living a healthier life. There are a multitude of supplements on the market today. My recommendation is that you choose wisely since numerous studies have shown lately many of the supplements sold today are not all that they claim to be. Personally I consume and recommend using only natural food source supplements when they are available. Most supplements in stores today are not food sourced. They are chemically synthesized and contain a variety of potentially harmful ingredients, hence why I said choose wisely. If you are not sure what to choose, then consult with a trusted knowledgeable Health professional that is well trained in the use of natural health supplements.
I believe that the health of our soul is the essential to living that healthy balanced life that we all desire to live. The human soul consists of the mind, the will, our emotions, thoughts, and consciousness. The Scriptures tell us in Proverbs 4:23 to guard your soul above all else for it determines the course of your life. So many of the people that I consult with and coach are physically sick because they are soul sick. For overall optimal health we must strive to keep our minds and our emotions healthy. Here are some of my recommendations for guarding your soul. Be careful what you choose to fill your mind with. Be quick to forgive, as unforgiveness harbored in your soul can physically and mentally destroy you. If you are being overcome with feelings of depression, then go to one of your local charity organizations, churches, nursing homes, or hospitals and volunteer to help someone in need.
When it comes to thinking about the essentials to healthy living, most people probably give very little thought to the health of their spirit. I believe that we have a body, a soul, and spirit. We are three part beings and for optimal health we must take care of the spirit man as well as we do our bodies and our souls. Many health professionals, theologians, and researchers believe that we need to put much more emphasis on the spirit man when it comes to leaving a more balanced, healthy, and vibrant life. I believe it is through a healthy spirit that we have the power to overcome the weaknesses that can destroy our bodies and souls. So what can we do for the health of our spirit man? Whether you believe in God or a higher power or not, recent research has provided some very convincing evidence of what having a healthy spiritual life can do for our overall health. The Holy Scriptures actually tell us that we are to pray and medi- tate regularly. It is my recommendation that you learn more about prayer and meditation and incorporate them into your daily life. More and more studies are showing that prayer and meditation can improve our health as well as promote healing in our bodies and souls.
