Calories matter - your body needs energy. The source of calories also matters - you're going to get far more nutrients from 200 calories of chicken breast than 200 calories of oreos. "Calories don't matter" isn't a strategy for health.

Most diets seem to work, at first, because they're cutting out the large majority of processed and inflammatory foods you take in on a daily basis.

People tend to say they’ll start making healthy choices after the wedding, party, or holiday. They don’t want a healthy lifestyle to get in the way of their weekend plans. But you’ll never get healthy if you keep waiting for next week.

Did you know? In many cases, you can heal your teeth and even reverse tooth decay naturally. That’s right—your teeth are regenerative!

Sleep is your body’s ultimate repair mode, when the immune system restores itself. If you’re constantly burning the candle at both ends, your defenses suffer. Studies show that people who get less than 6 hours of sleep are significantly more likely to catch colds and viruses.

Many of us wear stress like a badge of honor, but chronic stress wreaks havoc on the immune system. Long-term stress triggers inflammation, depletes essential nutrients, and disrupts hormone balance, all of which weaken your body’s defenses.

If you’re consistently doing things that create inflammation, your immune response will be on hyper-alert all the time. Then, when illness comes along, it can’t keep up. Is it any wonder why so many struggle with "cold and flu season"?

[The Wellness Way @The_WellnessWay]

If you’re constantly getting sick and have a difficult time shaking it, your immune system might be compromised. That may mean susceptibility to more than coughs and colds - it's a sure sign to get tested and support your body where it needs it.

Glucose that’s too high for too long may cause damage to multiple systems of your body. That’s why cutting sugar is often one of our first suggestions for new patients.

The purpose of our challenges and detoxes are to set yourself up with healthy habits. Don’t do something for thirty days and then just go back to bad habits!

Everything you want for your health is on the other side of the actions you take.

One of the best things you can do to help your body fight inflammation is avoid your IgG allergies - not just the ones that cause a big, obvious reaction.

[The Wellness Way @The_WellnessWay]

Just because your thumb hurts doesn’t mean that’s where the real concern is. You’ve got to look at the forest - not the tree.

[The Wellness Way @The_WellnessWay]

If you have numerous allergies, you want the immune markers to be high. If your body needs something and it doesn’t have enough, it can be just as bad as high numbers.

[The Wellness Way @The_WellnessWay]

Just because numbers are low on a lab doesn’t mean things are good. If your body has damage, it may need more cholesterol to rebuild.

Did you know that citric acid can interact negatively with mold in your body? …do you feel crummy when you drink carbonated drinks? It may be time to get tested.

All dis-ease comes from inflammation and at least one of the three Ts.

Eating a whole food that contains a vitamin or nutrient will always be more beneficial than taking an vitamin of that isolated nutrient as long as you’re not allergic to it.
