As a holistic practitioner, I recognize that health isdynamic and unique to each person. It also is influenced by many factors – our relationships, our physical environments, our genetics, our schools and jobs, our unique design and purpose, and our day-to-day choices. With all these factors influencing our health, I feel it is only right to also acknowledge that we need more than medication or a supplement, or even a certain herb to help us get better. We are complex, made of body, mind, and soul, so even if my specialty is in herbalism, I feel that if I know about non-herbal tools that can help my clients, I’m going to share them – and there are many!
After I meet with a client, I share a written summary thatincludes my observations and assessment, my herbal and nutritional recommendations, AND any lifestyle tools that I believe will help them reach their goals.
Today, I want to give you a sneak peek at what are the tools I recommend the most to my clients, and the ones I use myself.
The first 11 have been mentioned in previous episodes, so rather than review them thoroughly I list the episodes where you can find them.
Then, I offer in depth details about my additional 5 favorite tools, most of which are free!
Books mentioned in today's episode are: Live Better Longer by Joseph Dispenza and Hazel Parcells, The Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown, Anatomy of an Illness by Norman Cousins, The Tapping Solution by Nick Ortner, and Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve by Stanley Rosenberg.
