Join us for a great discussion on taking care of your skin naturally. Every week the Doctor talks about different health issues and then answers questions from the audience.

Refreshments and Information you can use immediately to help your health.

Skin

Skin is the largest organ in the body and is responsible for many functions. But, when you have issues with your skin, it can be very uncomfortable. Not only because it may itch or feel sore, but sometimes it is very visible which can be disconcerting.

Conventional Medicine

There are many drugs being offered to help with skin issues, but many of these drugs cause other problems, and often only reduce the symptoms. What if you could find the underlying cause of the issue and correct the cause instead of the symptoms?

Functional Medicine Skin Care Health

This is the basis for our talk on Thursday, July 21st, 2022 at 6 pm.  Functional Medicine focuses on finding why your skin health is suffering and reducing unwanted substances OR adding needed nutrients. Your skin care health starts here, not at combating symptoms.

Please come, bring your friends and something to write on! We look forward to seeing you there!

Environmental Allergies? Natural options for relief CLASS

Environmental Allergies

Environmental Allergies can really get you down. The options seem to be drugs or shots, both of which have side effects and long term commitments

What if you could make lifestyle changes yourself that would make your allergies better? Come learn about what allergies are and what your alternative options are for reducing symptoms while keeping the immune system healthy.

Immune System

The immune system works by attacking particles that it perceives as dangerous to the body overall.  This is good and useful for fighting off bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc. But when the body fights particles that are not truly dangerous, it forces the immune system to work overtime producing histamines, cytokines, chemokines and other chemicals. Not only do these chemicals have side effects such as runny nose, itchy eyes, stomach aches, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea; they also change the internal state of the body.

Since the particles the body is allergic to are not harmful, this extra work for the immune system is actually just stress on the body.

Trying to teach the body that the particles are not dangerous is a good option, but it doesn’t always produce the desired effects. And many times, the treatment has to be repeated many times over many years just to get results for a few years.

Complementary Medicine

There are other options to help reduce the symptoms of allergies, and they can be used simultaneously with drugs and injections without interfering, they are complementary to conventional medicine.

Dr. Johnson has experience with different allergies and has had success reducing the symptoms long term. With less stress on the immune system, the body experiences better health overall.

 

Purification Corner Steps 43 & 44

The Ultimate Guide to Purification and getting your Energy back!

The purification system that I use takes just 3 weeks to boost the elimination of natural toxins from your body. As these toxins leave, people report feeling lighter and more energetic along with experiencing better sleep and weight loss! 

This self-directed purification can be accomplished over time with step-by-step instructions that will be outlined here in the Purification Corner every month!

Step 43: Add flax seeds. Flax seeds are very nutritious, but need to be ground up before using them. And if you add them to a smoothie, you will want to add some extra liquid. The recommended amount is only 1-3 tablespoons and this amount will provide:

  • Fiber 8g
  • Omega-3 (ALA) 6,338 mg
  • Protein 6g
  • Vitamin B1 31% RDA
  • Manganese 35% RDA
  • Magnesium 30% RDA
  • Phosphorus 19% RDA
  • Selenium 10% RDA
  • Also, flaxseeds contain a good amount of vitamin B6, Iron, potassium, copper and zinc.

Step 44:  Add buckwheat. Buckwheat is NOT a grain, and therefore does not contain gluten, but it does make a good substitute for wheat in recipes. (SEE Below) One cup of buckwheat contains:

  • 155 calories
  • 6 grams of protein
  • 1 gram of fat
  • 33 grams of carbohydrates
  • 5 grams fiber
  • Only 1.5 grams of sugar
  • 86 milligrams manganese (34%)
  • 86 milligrams magnesium (21%)
  • 118 milligrams phosphorus (12%)
  • Also, small amounts of niacin, zinc, iron, vit B6, folate and B5.

Buckwheat Pancakes

Gluten free, Vegan.

1 cupAlmond Milk (or unflavored soy)
1 tablespoonGround Flax Seeds
1 tablespoonOlive or Coconut Oil 
1 teaspoonVanilla Extract
½ cupBuckwheat Flour
½ cupAlmond Flour (or more buckwheat flour)
1 teaspoonBaking Powder
½ teaspoonGround Cinnamon
¼ teaspoonSalt

Stir milk, ground flax seeds, oil and vanilla together in a small bowl. While wet mixture sits for 5 minutes, stir flours, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together until consistent. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir together until fully blended (don’t overmix).

Drop batter in 1/4 cup amounts onto a lightly oiled griddle at medium heat and cook until bubbles form in the middle and the edges start drying out. Then flip them and cook for another 2 minutes (approx).

Purification Corner Steps 23 & 24

The Ultimate Guide to Purification and getting your Energy back!

 

The purification system that I use takes just 3 weeks to boost the elimination of natural toxins from your body. As these toxins leave, people report feeling lighter and more energetic along with experiencing better sleep and weight loss! 

 

This self-directed purification is similar and can be accomplished over a two year period  with step-by-step instructions that will be outlined here in the Purification Corner every month!

 

Step 23: Add more fish

Step 23:  Add more fish. Salmon has 82% of the U.S.R.D.A of calcium; and over 100% of vitamin D, niacin, Vit. B12, phosphorus, selenium, and a huge amount of Omega 3’s. Salmon is a Superfood and I eat it every week. Herring, Halibut, Cod, Sea Bass and Mackerel are good choices as well.

The benefits to the heart cannot be over-stated. 3 servings of salmon each week provide half of the calcium needed, proteins, and many minerals and vitamins.  These nutrients provide for heart health, brain health, thyroid health and cholesterol benefits. 

 

Step 24: Reduce Grains to 1-2 servings/week

Now that you can make desserts from almonds, buckwheat or quinoa (pseudo-grains), the true grains need to be reduced drastically (unless you are gluten sensitive – if so, eliminate them). True grains do not have enough nutrition to justify the calories;  increase your appetite by activating hunger receptors in the brain; and increase inflammation causing any existing pain to hurt worse. True grains are wheat, rye, barley, corn ( pastries, pasta, bagels, bread, crusts, flour). These grains are not doing anything good for the body, but plenty to cause:

weight gain

increased pain

and, in many cases, allergic reactions.

Dr. J. is a board certified Doctor of Chiropractic and certified in Functional Medicine. She wants to help all people improve wellness through education and providing the newest, best researched information available.

Purification is a class we do every year for those wishing to lose weight the healthy and natural way. You put weight on slowly, you should take it off slowly as well so the body doesn’t become unbalanced. The recommended rate is 2 pounds per month, but if you want to push the envelope and keep the body healthy, we can help. Our “system” helps patients lose weight at approximately 4-6 pounds per month but keeps you under Doctor’s care for safety reasons. The system entails a personalized program that is based on your needs, current health,  current exercise program, and current medications. There is no standard, but the average cost is $325 start up and $150 monthly. This does not include lab work if it is required by the Doctor.

The first class in a three part series that will help you have clearer, more vibrant skin, reduce wrinkles, and have healthier skin, hair and nails.

The first class will focus on internal health. If you have already started drinking plenty of water and stopped smoking, this is the next step. A few small changes, adding what your skin needs and removing those things that slow healing or even cause damage to the body. These changes will affect what happens on the inside of the body which will reflect on the outside as the skin becomes healthier, clearer and mor vibrant.
