Healthy by Nature radio show this week

A recent unpleasant experience reminded me of the crucial body-wide importance of what happens in the mouth. I’m glad that our favorite holistic dentist, Philip R. Kozlow, DDS will be with us to talk about a number of dental issues and take your calls. In the second half of the show, our favorite nutritionist, Tim Mount, will explain the role of collagen in the mouth. Call the live show with questions at 1-800-281-8255.

Less Stress?

For too many, the holiday spirit is sapped by the stress of added tasks and special events (not to mention doofuses driving while sending emails to Santa on their smart phones). Since this week was perhaps the busiest of the year, I thought I would try to help reduce stress with the following: (1) These items from our website’s 24 Suggestions for reducing stress. Going to bed early helps because a rested mind handles issues more calmly and getting up early starts the day un-rushed. Sugar is just “borrowed energy” and you will pay the price later. Minerals in vegetables are calming. Eat for the way you would like to feel. Breathe deeply and relax your muscles for a few seconds several times a day, especially after a tense encounter. (2) A funny video showing how much worse things could be. (3) Consider making a little sign like one I have in the office. It says “Calm down. Take one thing at a time. Everything will be all right.”
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCMENT
In North Texas and Southern Oklahoma Healthy by Nature is moving to KWRD’s sister station KEXB 620 AM. Please listen on the new station this week before 8 AM to assure you have it and I hope you can also set a preset button to that position. For another week or two the show may also air on 100.7 FM but then we will have moved.
COMING ATTRACTIONS
SAVE THE DATE. Spring Natural HealthFest will be MAY 7th in RICHARDSON, TX. JANUARY 14, 2016 (Thursday) I’m honored to have been invited to speak to the January Digging Deeper event at the Kotsanis Institute on Detoxification. The event and a healthful lunch are free but it is best to register to make sure there is enough chairs, food and handouts.
Last Week Follow-up
LISTEN to that show in the archives. I was very interested to hear what author and radio show host, Shoshana Bennett, PhD had to say about today’s crisis in postpartum depression. She is the author of 3 books: Children of The Depressed; Pregnant on Prozac and Postpartum Depression For Dummies. (Her interview was sponsored by Nordic Naturals, my favorite fish oil.) Darcy Brunk, DC told us the good news about his recent small study on carpal tunnel syndrome and the wonderful patriot project as well as how energy medicine heals.
