Genetic expressions are the result of both hardwired, cannot-change genetics and epigenetics, the “switches” on the genes that influence cell expression. This is why we often hear that an herb or a nutrient will determine how your cells express either health or disease.
One of the greatest tragedies that has been going on for decades is that a child’s body can develop much more perfectly if mom and dad do preconception nutrition, gestational nutrition and lactation nutrition. (read more…)

Carl Jung, one of the greatest and most influential geniuses of the 20th century, recognized astrology as a tool to gain self-awareness. He wrote, “We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born.

There is an additional, lesser-known approach for the vagus nerve and the entire autonomic nervous system—osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). Osteopathic manipulation is part of what sets osteopathic doctors (DOs) apart from medical doctors (M.D.s). It is a collection of hands-on techniques that are used by some DOs to improve balance and function in the body. It is not the same as chiropractic, massage or other body work modalities.

The Human Microbiome Project revealed that we have ten times more bacteria in the G.I. tract than cells in the body. Additionally, 80-90 percent of our “happy hormones”, dopamine and serotonin, are produced in the gut rather than the brain. Therefore, our gut bacteria play a crucial role in how we think and feel.

When students practice yoga or engage in regular physical activity, they develop a heightened awareness of their body and how it moves and responds to life’s everyday pressures.
