The New Normal

It’s summer and you discover a big hole in your roof… You wouldn’t wait 6 months until winter hits to fix it, so why do that with your health? You can implement a healthy lifestyle to keep illness at bay rather than wait until you have a full blown (often irreversible) illness.

There are daily signs that our bodies send us that something isn’t working properly, but we tend to ignore them and accept them as our “Normal”. Often we take a pill to take care of the symptom, but never really figure out WHY it was happening in the first place. Our bodies, if given the proper nutrition, rest, exercise, etc., can maintain good health and often repair itself.

Take a look at the list below to see some early signs our bodies can give us that something is wrong that you might currently see as “normal” for you:

Fatigue
Depression
Head aches
Brain fog
Lack of motivation
Dizziness
Irritability
Constipation or Diarrhea
Indigestion
Abdominal pain
Bloating and/or Gas after eating
Weight gain
Thinning hair
Skin rashes or severe acne
Bleeding gums
Joint or Muscle Pain
Feeling cold all of the time
Blood sugar issue
Severe PMS
What else is going on for you???

Did you see anything in the list above that hit home for you? Don’t settle for the New Normal, if you can relate to any of these, it might be time to do a Nutritional Assessment to determine what you can do to improve not only the obvious issue(s), but give your body the nutrition it needs to not just survive, but THRIVE so you can be the best you. Invest in yourself and make your health and the health of your family a priority!

My Nutrition Thing is my business in Bend, Oregon and I’d love to meet with you to find out together what abnormal signs you are experiencing and work to get you back to Normal!
