There are 4 steps for Distance Energy Healing

1. Connect with the person energetically.

2. Ask what is going on with the person.  Example of a question is, "What is the root cause of the person's pain?"

3. Listen.  Using my intuitive abilities I listen, feel, see or know the answer to their symptoms.

4. Heal. Once I know the root cause, I ask what the person needs in order to heal from their symptoms. 

Often the person needs a specific high vibrating frequency like Unconditional Love to heal.  So, I direct that frequency to the person to promote healing and repair.

Do you want to enhance your intuitive abilities, feel calm in your day to day life, increase your mental clarity and feel spiritually connected?

Many people are stressed out, overwhelmed and burnt out due to all their daily demands. They don't have time to get calmed down enough to get into the intuitive head space. 

But what if you could do it naturally and faster?

Wouldn't that be great to clear the stress that interferes with your intuition and loving-peaceful feelings?

When you increase times of inner peace, unconditional love and spiritual connection it helps to boost your intuition.

Intuitive messages are much easier to receive, understand and act upon when you are calm, balanced and have a strong spiritual connection. 

I like to use essential oils, even while driving because they make me a more aware and intuitive driver.

Specific high-quality essential oils are great to achieve fast results. They calm your mind down quickly, provide mental clarity and a strong spiritual connection, so you can trust your intuition and get clear answers.

My 4 favourite essential oils for boosting intuition are Basil, Frankincense, Rosemary and Sandalwood.  

I only use Doterra essential oils because I know they’re high quality.  Did you know 80% of essential oil brands on the market are contaminated either intentionally or unintentionally. 

I know that Doterra oils have extremely high standards, are third party lab tested and therapeutic grade.  Making some of them even fit for consumption.

My 4 Favourite Essential Oils for 

Boosting Intuition

Basil – The oil of Renewal

Basil oil cleanses and refreshes the soul.  It opens to the heart to release thoughts and feelings that can interfere with your intuition. 

Basil oil helps connect you with the divine, Archangels, Ascended Master and ancestors to receive clear messages. 

Physically, basil oil releases nervous tension, overwhelm and exhaustion from your body.  It supports healthy blood circulation and mental clarity.

Basil oil is great for people that suffer from: Anxiousness, overwhelm, tiredness, drained feeling, exhaustion and negative habits.

The positive benefits of Basil oil are: Feeling energized, renewed, rejuvenated, rested and strengthened.

Frankincense – The oil of Truth

Frankincense oil purifies your soul.  It clears dark energy and thoughts from your mind.  It helps raise your energetic vibration by flushing out low vibrating energy, lies, deceptions and negativity.

Frankincense helps expand your spiritual awareness to understand the bigger picture, your truth, it increases your concentration and focus and aligns you with unconditional love.   

This oil opens your spiritual channels and enhances your spiritual connection. Thus, making it a great oil to use during meditation, prayer, energy healing and for when you want to receive intuitive messages.

Frankincense oil is great for people that suffer from abandonment, spiritual disconnect, feel distant from their father, feel unprotected and feel spiritually dark.

The positive benefits of Frankincense oil are feeling enlightened, loved, protected, wise, spiritually open, connected with one’s father and healthy discernment.

Rosemary – The oil of Knowledge & Transition

Rosemary oil helps purify your mind and develop true knowledge and wisdom.  It helps strengthen the mind and memory to function better, hold a longer attention span and focus deeper on a topic, person or situation.  Rosemary is a great oil to apply on your forehead, temples, neck and head for doing intuitive body scanning, intuitive readings and visualizations. 

Rosemary oil is excellent for people that suffer from low attention span, memory problems, brain fog, confusion, difficulty adjusting or transitioning, ignorance and difficulty learning.

Rosemary oil helps stimulate mental clarity, feeling inspired, open to new experiences, teachable and knowledgeable.   

Sandalwood – The oil of Sacred Devotion

Sandalwood oil calms the mind and assists with prayer, meditation, intuitive readings and energy healing.  It teaches one to be respectful and kind. 

I like to apply 1 or 2 drops to my forehead and 3rd Eye Chakra for doing body scanning or at the beginning of a meditation.

It helps people feel grounded as they align themselves with the spiritual world and god.  Sandalwood teaches spiritual devotion and spiritual sacrifice helping people let go of materials, habits. foods, and people that do not serve them.

Sandalwood is great for people that suffer from being disconnected from god or spiritual self, feeling empty, overthinking and materialism.

Sandalwood oil is excellent if you want to increase your spiritual clarity and devotion, stillness, surrender, humility and higher consciousness.

You can use all four oils separately or in combination.  I take 1-2 drops of essential oil and apply it on my forehead, temples, neck, lower abdomen and bottoms of feet.  Sometimes I will mix them with a carrier oil or lotion like fractionated coconut oil or a non-scented lotion. 

Doterra essential oils are not available in stores you have to purchase them from a Wellness Adovate like Keri Fulmore

One last thing.  Have you ever used essential oils for boosting your intuition?  If so, which ones?  Comment below, I'd love to know what which oils.

In order to have the best intuition you need to have a vital mind and body.

Many people tell me they don’t trust their intuition or think it is unreliable.   What I find with these people is their vitality is low.

The reason for this, is because their minds and bodies are clogged up with toxins and lacking certain nutrients to perform on a consistent basis.

You can enhance your intuition with herbs whether you are just starting out using your intuition or you have been using it for a while. 

I know this to be true, because I did it. 

There are two herbs that work together synergistically to feed and nourish your intuition.  I’m talking about Fo-ti (He Shou Wu) and Gotu Kola.

Together these herbs bring together one of the most important Traditional Chinese Medicine rejuvenates with one of the most important Indian (Ayurveda) herbs.

Both are used to counter the effects of aging and revitalize the mind and body.

• Fo-ti for building and rebuilding tissues
• Gotu Kola for revitalizing the mind.

Why do these Herbs Enhance Intuition?

Fo-ti

Fo-ti enhances intuition because it builds up the physical life force of the body. 

It builds blood and sperm and makes the ova more vital.  Thus, considered to be a primary fertility-enhancing herb.  It strengthens the muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones. It strengthens the kidneys, liver and nervous system and prevents premature aging.  It’s a famous herb for restoring head hair from grey to its natural color. 

Research has demonstrated that Fo-ti can greatly increase superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity.  SOD is a powerful natural antioxidant and free-radical scavenger that has powerful anti-aging properties.  Fo-ti also inhibits beta-monoamine oxidase.

Gotu Kola

Gotu Kola enhances intuition revitalizing the nerves and brain cells.

Gotu Kola is used for increasing intelligence, longevity, memory and decreasing senility and aging.  It fortifies the immune system, both cleansing and feeding it and strengthens the adrenal glands.  At the same time, it is a powerful blood purifier for chronic skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

It’s considered one of the most spiritual of all herbs.  Used by yogis as food for meditation.  It awakens the crown chakra and helps balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

How to Ingest Fo-ti & Gotu Kola?

As a decoction (tea) I recommend taking these herbs together in equal portion and adding a little bit of fennel to assist with digestion and assimilation.

Another way to take these herbs is via tincture (alcohol extraction) in equal portions.

“If you want to be healthy and live a 100 years, do qigong.” ~ Dr. Oz

In China they have known this fact for 1000s of years.  Qi Gong is the foundation from where all Traditional Chinese Medicine originates.  It is well known for its health and longevity promoting benefits. 

What is Qi Gong?

Qi Gong is a holistic system of coordinated body posture and movement, breathing, and meditation used for the purposes of health, spirituality, and martial arts training. Qi Gong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance qi (energy/life force).

Qi Gong practice typically involves moving meditation, coordinating slow flowing movement, deep rhythmic breathing, and calm meditative state of mind. Qi Gong is now practiced throughout China and worldwide for recreation, exercise and relaxation, preventive medicine and self-healing, alternative medicine, meditation and self-cultivation, and training for martial arts.

Cool Fact about Qi Gong

There are both medicine-less and regular hospital in China where Qi Gong is practiced to restore health to the sick for even issues like cancer.    

But Qi Gong is not only practiced by the sick, it’s a way of life for many (including myself). 

I’ve been practicing Qi Gong for over 20yrs and I’ve experienced many benefits and seen other benefit in the following ways:

• Pain reduction
• Emotional stress relief
• Faster recovery time from illness and injuries
• Improved concentration and focus
• Intuitive and psychic development
• Increased energy levels
• Regulate blood pressure
• Improve coordination and balance

These benefits are all possible because Qi Gong exercises help to declutter your personal energy which gets altered by negative thinking, stress, poor food choices, toxins, electro-magnetic frequencies (EMF) and more. 

When your energy is flowing smoothly, then your blood flows smoothly and nourishes your cells, tissues, organs, glands, etc. efficiently.  Thus, helping to strengthen your body. 

Where can you learn Qi Gong?

1. Look for an instructor in your local area.

2. I teach weekly classes in the Balanced Health Membership.  Each class is recorded, so members can practice exercises several times to master them.

Levothyroxine (generic for Synthroid) is one of the most prescribed medications in North America and it’s for Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). 

Underactive thyroids appear to be an epidemic, but why are they so prevalent?

Let’s first get clear what a healthy thyroid does. 

Your thyroid produces hormones to regulate metabolism, healthy growth and development of your body.

On an energetic level your thyroid creates balance within yourself that creates a sense of calmness and shields/protects your body from negative energy like other people’s negative influence.    

So, what’s going on….  Why do so many people have an underactive thyroid?

On a physical level the thyroid becomes imbalanced from:

• Consuming too many foods and substances that create disharmony in the body.  These are things like excess animal protein (meat and dairy), rancid oils (found in processed foods, many restaurants, etc.), refined sugars and fluorinated water.
• Toxic exposure to things like heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and insecticides.
• Radiation exposure.

On an energetic level I find people’s thyroids become out of balance via:

• Not being true and trusting oneself on an ongoing basis.
• Think low of oneself
• Lack confidence in one’s decisions.
• When one’s brain overpower our heart to make the right choice due to fear, worry, sadness, anger, past trauma, etc.
• Not Understanding that one’s voice matters.
• Not taking care of one’s health.
• Lacking healthy habits.  I.E. diet, exercise & sleep.
• Not trusting one’s gut feelings.
• Not speaking one’s truth.

How do you prevent developing hypothyroidism or heal from it?

The strategy for prevention and healing on the physical level are different.  But, on the energetic level there are many similarities.  Those being:

• Accept yourself for who you are.
• Focus on what you are good at and what makes you happy….  This naturally boosts confidence.
• Trust your gut feelings.
• Speak your truth.
• Make a point to do something each day that nourishes yourself.  Ex. Eating a healthy meal, telling yourself, “I love myself unconditionally,” going for a walk in the nature, etc.

Preventing Hypothyroidism:

• Adequate exercise.
• Healthy eating.
• Proper sleep.
• Cleansing to prevent toxicity build up.

Healing from Hypothyroidism:

• Discovering the root cause of hypothyroidism.
• Taking the right supplements to support healing.
• Detoxification to clear toxins and inflammation from the body.
• Dietary changes to support healing and a healthy thyroid.
• Exercising to support healing and a healthy thyroid.
• Ensuring healthy sleeping habits.
• Daily visualization to support healing.

"Before working with Adam, blood work had shown that my thyroid levels were low. My doctor recommended I start taking a prescription thyroid drug. Instead, I did 2 Distance Healing Sessions with Adam. A few weeks later I had my blood work done again. My thyroid levels were back to normal.

I am so thankful that I did not have to resort to taking a prescription medication. Adam also discovered mercury toxicity in my body that was an underlying cause of other health issues I was dealing with. After removing the mercury, these issues were resolved. I'm so blessed to have found Intuitive Health Solutions."

Winter is said to host many dreaded colds and flu bugs.  Not only that, but it is historically known as one of the most depressing seasons in North America. 

Why is it a dull season to many?

I think it is the lack of sunshine, flu’s and colds, and a dull feeling after the excitement of the holidays. 

Many people find themselves battling cold after cold, having less energy than they would like and even feeling alittle blue.

But, rather than grab for cough syrup and cold remedies, how about boosting your immune system so you are rock solid and don’t get sick at all?

Wouldn’t you like to cruise through winter healthy, happy and have boundless amounts of energy?

I know I would!

Lets Clear Some Things Up First

Many people believe that if you go out into the cold weather dressed improperly, you will catch a cold.  Whether that is an old wives tale or a good parental scare tactic, it’s just not true. 

Cold weather actually boost your IMMUNE SYSTEM.  Going from cold to hot gets your lymphatic system moving, heart pumping and immune system engaged.  It’s like giving your immune system a workout!

What About the Germs?

Do you think that there are actually more germs floating around in the winter than in the summer?

Not true!

The germs are still there.  It’s actually the sun’s UVB & UVA Rays that increase your absorption of Vitamin D keeping your immune system strong in the summer months.   

Yes, you still get Vitamin D in the winter just less is absorbed from less UVB & UVA Rays.

I should mention that people are generally happier in the summer.  With happiness comes less stress, and since stress is a major immune system inhibitor, it’s no wonder less people get sick in the summer.

Could It Be Less Exercise?

Like it or not, for the most part, people are not as active in the winter months.  They stay indoors more often than not, and don’t engage in as many sports.  Even getting to the gym can prove to be a big feat for some. 

Exercise improves circulation, stimulates the immune system, detoxifies your body and raises energy levels.  Not only is it essential for good immunity, but it gives you a good boost of 'feel good hormones.'

So, exercise is essential for warding off flu bugs for sure.

7 Tips for Increasing Immunity

1. Exercise – Make sure that you are getting at least 30-60 minutes of exercise daily.  This will increase your immunity, help you stay strong and fit and give you the 'joy du vive' you are looking for in the winter.

Have you ever noticed that people who exercise in the winter are happier?

2. Vitamin D – Supplement with Vitamin D to increase your body’s immunity in the winter months. Vitamin D helps you fight infections of all kinds. 

A study in Japan, showed that school aged children taking Vitamin D everyday during the winter, reduced their risk of catching the flu. 

The recommended daily intake of Vitamin D is 1000 iu for adults.  But, I have found that most people living in the Northern Hemisphere require more to maintain optimal levels.  Make sure to get tested with your doctor to see where your Vitamin D levels are.

You can purchase Vitamin D at health food sotre or online:  Click here for Vitamin D 

3. Get Adequate Rest – Let’s face it, even with the dark days upon us, a lot of us have a tendency to stay up way too late.  Lack of rest not only decreases your body’s energy, but also increases your stress levels.  Stress lowers immunity.

You should be striving to get to bed by 10pm everyday to keep your body’s energy up and therefore your immunity.

4. Probiotics – One of the best immune boosters are good flora or Probiotics.  Did you know that good good flora make up the first line of defense for your immune system.  Good flora also create about 80% of your immunity.  So, it goes without saying that to have great immunity, you definitely need to have a strong gut health.

I personally supplement with good flora containing fermented foods like kefir and kombucha on a daily basis. You can also use Probiotics, which can be found in your natural health food store or in my store.

Make sure you buy a Probiotics that are stored in the fridge to maintain potency.

5. Herbal Immune Boosters – There are many Herbal Immune Boosters you can use in the winter for both prevention and treatment.  The key is consistency.  My favorvites include:

• Echinacea

• Goji Berries 

• Maitake Mushrooms

• Astragalus Root

• Pine Needles

Echinacea – This is one of the more commonly known immune boosters, but I find that it is not always used correctly.  Echinacea is widely used to fight infections, especially common colds and other upper respiratory infections.  I have also used it at the first signs of mastitis quite effectively. The key is to use it at the first signs of infection: virus or bacteria.

So how do you use Echinacea?

Firstly, it’s more potent and effective to use a tincture made from fresh Echinacea rather than dried.  Dried Echinacea has normally lost a lot of its potency. 

Echinacea tincture can be used on the first signs of a cold or flu.  But, 20-30 drops two to three times a day is usually not that effective.  For the first sign of a cold or infection, Echinacea can be used safely every 1-2 hours 1tsp or 30 drops, until the cold or infection subsides. 

As always if you have an infection that does not improve, you should always see a doctor.  Also, if you have an auto-immune disease you should speak with a practitioner before using it.

You can purchase Echinacea at health food stores or online.

Goji Berries – For more than 5000 years the Chinese have used Goji Berries as part of their traditional medicine.  It’s known as ‘The Fruit of Longevity;’ having amazing immune enhancing qualities.

Goji Berries are loaded with Vitamin C and I love to get it from natural sources. 

Most Vitamin C supplements found on store shelves are derived from corn and most likely genetically modified (GMO).  So that’s a big win for Goji Berries.

Goji Berries also reduce inflammation, improve resistance to cancer cell growth, nourish blood, reduce allergies & dizziness, improve vision and even help with low back pain. WOW!

You can buy Goji Berries in health food stores, grocery stores and online.

Maitake Mushrooms – They contain Beta Glucan, a compound responsible for immune support and macrophages, which are immune cells that eat up viruses.

In addition to that, Maitake mushrooms help turn on natural killer cells (NKC), which give viruses the 1-2 punch combo out of your body!

Lastly, they are loaded with polysaccharides, reduce inflammation, help with collagen production, energy production and so much more. 

I’m sure that in future studies we will see more amazing qualities of this mushroom.

You can buy Maitake Mushrooms in health food stores or online.

Buy Maittake Mushrooms here

Astragalus Root - This is another herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as an ENERGY & IMMUNE BOOSTER.  It’s known as an adaptogenic herb, which means it lowers your stress hormone cortisol.  Stress hormones inhibit your immune system, so Astragalus is a powerful herb to keep on hand. 

Astragalus also strengthen the lungs, which can lessen your susceptibility to respiratory infections and viruses and contains antioxidants that reduce inflammation. 

This is something I like to take everyday in the winter to keep my immune system top notch.

You can buy Astragalus at health food stores or online.

Pine Needles – Did you know that pine needles are extremely high in Vitamin C & A?  Not only that, but they are also a very powerful antioxidant, antiviral and immune system powerhouse.  Pine Needles have been used for eons by native communities to boost Vitamin C levels, prevent cold and flu. 

Pine Needles are great for preventing oxidative stress, beneficial for your skin and hair, and even have been known to improve vision.

Pine Needle tea also is antiseptic, helping to prevent bad bacteria and microbes from affecting your body.   They also help treat respiratory cold and infection by expectorating phlegm and neutralizing pathogens found in the sinuses. 

All you need are some Pine Needles and a pot of water.  A good handful will do.  Just bring water to a boil, turn off, put Pine Needles in pot, cover and let steep for 15-30mins.  Strain and enjoy. 

6. Local Raw Honey – Honey is perhaps one of the best immune system boosters out there.  The world health organization lists honey as a demulcent, which treats coughs.  I have used it for dry cough quite successfully.

Raw honey contains bee pollen, which is also known to ward off infections, prevent allergies, and is a natural source of energy.

Honey has been extensively studied and has been shown to increase disease fighting polyphenols in the blood.   Polyphenols are part of what makes honey a great choice for both prevention and treatment of colds.

7. Laughter - They say laughter is the best medicine.  I think this is more true than we realize. Not only does laughter increase our sense of well being, inner happiness and energy, but it creates a strong immune system.  

It's one of the easiest ways to boost immunity.  

I think that as adults we tend to laugh less than children. Perhaps we should take a tip from the kids and be more care-free in life?  

So, how can you bring more laughter into your life?  Make a commintment to laugh everyday, even if there is nothing to laugh at.  Some would call this Laughter Yoga.  Simply laugh.  Soon you will be laughing at how silly it is and it will become infectious.  

You could also make time to watch a comedy, visit friends (this usually brings about some laughs) and even play with kids.  It doesn't matter how you do it, just make time for laughing each day. 

What matters most for yourself is to come up with a good plan to keep your body and mind healthy and enjoy winter.   

You will know you are doing good when people around you are getting sick and you are not or you recover quickly from colds and flus.

As a child and teenager, I suffered from severe irritability.  I felt like a ticking time bomb ready to go off if someone said or did something to trigger me.  It was rare if I didn’t wake up irritated and frustrated.

But these intense feelings I felt were the result of what was going on inside of me, creating perpetual stress.    

On an unconscious level I was attached to anger, frustration, fear and sadness to many people without realizing it.   

This was because at different points in my past I felt these people had hurt me through their words and actions. 

Though it was me that was still holding onto those painful experiences, because I didn’t know how to process them. 

Those experiences were kind of like undigested food rotting in my stomach, creating all kinds of different problems.

Those unprocessed negative experiences were telling my central nervous system (CNS) on an unconscious level to be in a state of fight or flight all the time, causing me to feel terrible.  

This made it very hard for me to relax and feel comfortable with myself and others. 

Physically, this affected my sleep, digestion and caused my body to feel tense and tight all the time.

At the time, I had no idea that I was still being affected from past experiences until I did this….

Quieted my mind and listened through meditation. 

When I first began meditating at age 20yrs old, I had a flood of negative feelings, thoughts and images arise to my consciousness.  It was quite scary and intimidating at first.  

But, I quickly learned an EXERCISE (listen to it below) that was centred around focusing on loving myself and other people. 

This powerful exercise helped me process the painful experiences, so I could finally overcome the pain they were causing me. 

It helped me to realize that I needed to forgive the people that hurt me and send love to them (including myself). 

All the negative feelings I was creating on a day to day basis were creating so much tension in my body that they were continually creating a toxic state for myself. 

As a result the physical, mental and emotional symptoms quickly resolved.

Clearing the stress in my mind also enhanced my intuition because it was no longer being blocked by stress and negativity.

When I decided to stop and observe, rather than reacted to every thought and feeling I experienced, it allowed me to create change.

Looking back at it now I find it amazing how simple it was to process the old emotional pain when I decided to let love in and let go. 

If you are anything like I was, the following Loving Kindness Exercise may be one of the most important things you do for your healing and moving forward with your life.    

Greatness doesn’t happen overnight, it’s created through regular consistent investment of your time and energy. 

You’re already putting your energy into things, why not direct your time and energy into things that help you to thrive.

Below I share 5 things I have been doing to help me increase my health and happiness and I know you will benefit from them too!

5 Things to Make 2019 Great

1. Exercise for 1hr daily. 

If you want to take your health to the next level exercise is the way to do it.  I have been working out, lifting weights and swimming 3-4 days per week for 2 months.  In that short amount of time I have built up more muscle mass, am physically stronger, improved my endurance and energy level, feel less stressed, and haven’t gotten a sick (in the most notorious time of year to get sick).  

On top of all that, I walk 1-2 hrs per day with my dogs.

There are so many benefits to exercise like:

• Stronger lungs = more oxygen to your muscles and brain = more energy.
• Protection from flus and colds.  Exercise increases immunoglobulins, which are proteins that help bolster your immune system and ward off infection.
• Mental calmness - Mood-enhancing chemicals, like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, flood your brain for a couple of hours post-exercise and for up to a day if you've competed in an endurance event, like a marathon. Stress? What stress?
• Healthy weight - You're blasting calories, even at rest. "For every 100 calories you burn during your workout, you can expect to burn 15 calories after," Example, If you went on a three-mile run, you would torch about 300 calories, which could mean zapping an extra 45 later.
• Healthy Heart – After every sweat session you lower your blood pressure for up to 16hrs.
• Risk of diabetes goes down - The more you work out, the greater your sensitivity to insulin. That, in turn, lowers your blood sugar levels, reducing your risk of type 2 diabetes.
• Physically stronger – regular exercise strengthens your muscles, bones and organs, helping to prevent weakness as you age.
• Anti-aging – Fitness buffs have more telomeres. The DNA that bookends our chromosomes and protects them from damage, which can slow the aging process, studies show.
• Melt away fat – After 4 weeks of regular exercise, your body ditches flab and gains muscle.  Overweight people who took part in a four-week program of moderate aerobic exercise in an Australian study reduced ab fat by 12%.  Wow, that’s fantastic!

2. Love yourself every day!

I have been focusing on loving myself unconditionally for the last 6yrs.

The benefits I have gained from this are:

• Less stress
• Attracted more friends into my life
• Developed healthier relationship with family and friends.
• Heal faster physically
• Feel more optimistic about life.

The trick to loving yourself is to tell yourself, “I love myself unconditionally,” and allow yourself to feel the how you react to that statement.

Allow yourself to fully embrace the feelings created by loving yourself unconditionally.

The next thing, I recommend you do is ask yourself, “What do I want to do today that will help me love myself even more?”

Ask yourself this question in a quiet & calm place and listen to the answer your body gives back to you.

3. Set a goal of something you really want to do for yourself? 

This could be a trip, get into better shape and health, learn a new skill or make a new friend.  

This is not limited to one goal, set as many as you would like, but remember to take action to make them happen.

4. Go somewhere you have never been before.

This helps you get out of routine, your comfort zone and realize there’s more to life than what is going on in your world.

I know when I go somewhere I haven’t been before I experience a lot of unexpected happiness. This is due to growing and learning new things, which stimulates serotonin production.

5. Meditate on a daily basis.

Meditation is amazing at showing you where you could be limiting yourself.  Limits create stagnation and stagnation is the root of all imbalances: mental, emotional, spiritual and physical.

Therefore, by meditating you have the ability to make the unconscious conscious and see how you are affecting yourself and make the changes needed to live a fulfilling life.

To help align with the happier and healthier version of yourself I have created the Meditation Removing Restrictions for you.

Over the years Adam and I have received many referrals from happy clients. 

For a few months, Adam and I had discussed about creating a referral program.  How we can give back to you or anyone that has referred someone to us.

So, what we have come up with is on our intake forms when a person signs up for a Medical Intuitive Reading, 3 Question Medical Intuitive Reading, Distance Healing Session or Work with Both of Us, there is a spot where the person filling it out can enter the full name and email address of the person that referred them.

Then Adam or I can contact them to give them a FREE 30mins Intuitive Consultation with me or a 30mins Distance Energy Healing with Adam.

What do you think of this idea of a Referral Program?

Struggling With Hormone Imbalances?

When I ask you to think about hormone issues, what is the first words that come to your mind?

Endometriosis, pms, mood swings, weight gain, insomnia, pcos or even hair loss?

Those are quite common symptoms of hormone imbalances, but what are some of the other hormone symptoms you can have?

Let me name a few….

Fatigue – this is more common than you might think, and your hormones have a lot to do with it!

Low Libido – a lack of interest in sex, has a lot to do with hormones.  

Weight loss Resistance – Hormones definitely contribute to weight gain and weight loss resistance. 

Aching muscles and joints – Did you know that your hormones can actually cause you pain when they are imbalanced?

Hair loss – Hair thinning all over the head can be a sign of high androgens and other hormone imbalances. 

Ovarian Cysts – This is definitely a sign that your hormones are needing some balancing. 

Dry Eyes – Yes, dry eyes can also be caused by hormones. 

Anxiety and Depression…

Hot flashes, insomnia, mood swings, water retention, cramps, constant colds, and many, many more…….

So, what can you do about it?  

First and foremost, I suggest learning the differences between testing your hormones with blood, urine and saliva.  

Yes, they are very different.  

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BLOOD, URINE AND SALIVA TESTING!

BLOOD

Blood is an accurate reading of what is happening at one point in the day. It is great for testing the overall picture.  Blood or serum is great for testing peptide hormones and total hormones such as Follicle stimulating hormone, LH, prolactin, insulin and even thyroid hormones (if the free form is included). 

But, for sex hormones no distinction is made in blood between bound hormones and free hormones (the hormones your body can use). 

Women have three different kinds of estrogen in the body: estradiol, estrone and estriol.  In blood they are only tested as one hormone.  Meaning we can’t tell the difference between the good and bad estrogens in the body by evaluating blood. 

This can lead to misleading results!  

It can cause hormones to appear completely normal or even high normal. Remember blood is only testing the total of your three estrogens. 

But, if the free hormone level is low (your available hormone or usable hormone) you can still feel like a hot hormone mess.  Even if your doctor has told you that your hormones are normal!

Serum hormone testing also does not measure estrogen, adrenal or androgen metabolites.  So, it does not show how those hormones are breaking down in the body and how well the liver’s phase one and two detoxification is working.   

SALIVA

Saliva has become really popular over the years. Saliva is non-invasive and quite easy to do.  The benefit to saliva is that it allows for multiple collections over a 24 hour period, or even an entire month.  This allows you to see abnormal hormone patterns, such as shortened luteal phase (the second half of a woman’s cycle), or even cortisol patterns over the entire day. 

A Saliva test measures free hormones (your usable hormones or bioavailable hormones), which makes it a better measure then blood for evaluating hormone profiles.  

Remember blood is measuring your total hormones and only at one point in the day, which does not give you a good indicator of hormones that may dip or spike during certain times in the month. 

Saliva is a good measure of Estradiol, estrone, and estriol, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA.  But, saliva does not show steroid hormone metabolites. This is limiting as it does not show you how your hormones are breaking down, or if they are being reabsorbed.

URINE

The 24 hour urine hormone test is the preferred method for testing hormones. It tests for hormones secreted at night, like cortisol and melatonin as well as growth hormone.

Got insomnia or sleeping trouble? This test can show you why!

Urine testing measures unbound hormones, reflecting the bioavailable hormones or the hormones that are available for use right now!

The advantage of urine testing is the ability to measure hormone metabolites. It will show your estrogen levels good and bad, and whether they are metabolizing down a pathyway that can be carcinogenic.  Urine will also show how Androgens are metabolizing in your body, whether they are going down the pathway that will cause hair thinning and androgenic alopecia etc. 

Urine testing can show the balance of protective “good” estrogens, compared to harmful or “bad” estrogens and whether your treatment protocol is working. This is huge!  No longer do you have to wonder if you are getting anywhere with what you are taking!

Urine hormone testing measures both phase 1 and 2 liver detoxification.  It shows how well the liver is metabolizing estrogen, among other hormones and how well the liver is functioning, which is huge in everything from hormone imbalances to depression and anxiety.

Urine is also an excellent test to evaluate adrenal health and function.  It not only measures DHEA and DHEAs, but measures cortisone and cortisol, telling us the status of your adrenal glands and if adrenal fatigue is an issue. 

In my opinion, urine is the gold standard of hormone testing.  

BEING VULNERABLE

I tested my Urine hormones a year ago.  It led me to some eye -opening discoveries. 

I found out that my liver’s phase two detoxification was quite low (I suspected as much) and that my estrogens were beginning to metabolize down a carcinogenic pathway.  THIS IS HUGE.  Essentially, this test allowed me to begin treating this issue before it became significant.

Blood would never have been able to show me this. 

If you would like to discover your hormone profile, as a Functional Medicine Practitioner, I have begun offering these tests.
