With the US Thanksgiving Holiday around the corner we at Health Empowered You (HEY) wanted to take a deeper look at the research behind the impacts gratitude. According to an article cited by PubMed: "At an anatomical level, it [gratitude] is related consistently with the medial prefrontal cortex and at molecular level, with the neuropeptide oxytocin.

Q-Link SRT is an amazing technology that offers a myriad of health and wellness benefits. We first heard about Q-Link in the CHEK Institute Holistic Lifestyle Coach level 1 program (see products page for more info about the CHEK Institute). The instructor was wearing a pendant at the end of a necklace that he claimed allowed him to maintain his energy levels after being in the classroom all day with wifi and all the electrical signals. We wanted to learn more so we investigated this technology...you won't believe what we discovered...

Why grass-fed, compassionately raised, free-range, and wild caught should describe the meat you eat12/12/2016 Who cares how the animals you eat are raised? YOU should! And so should the farmers who raise them! You may not think it's important how the animals you eat are raised...but it is. Not only how they are raised but also what they eat and the health care they are provided. Just as our diets and lifestyle affect our health, the diets and lifestyle of the animals we eat affect their health. Grass-fed, pasture raised animals create meat that offers more nutrients, less fat, less potential for bacterial infections (like e coli). If you eat unhealthy animals your health can be negatively impacted. Just look at what the Mayo clinic says about grass-fed beef...

We are all very grateful to those who sacrifice years of their lives to study, put in the necessary long hard hours, and dedicate their lives to trying to help us all feel better and recover from medical disease or trauma. Our hats go off to you and your families who support you in this endeavor. However, even those doctors with best intentions cannot correct the fundamental shift that took place somewhere along the line: today's medicine is focused on symptoms suppression and the ability to process large number of patience in a single day. While not necessarily the fault of an individual doctor, it's up to us as individual patients to take charge of our health by finding the right doctor who can help us along on our healing path...
Ever find yourself in agony just trying to go to the bathroom? Typically your visit to the doctor ends with a diagnosis of a urinary tract infection (UTI) and a prescription for an antibiotic. This was a recurring theme for one of my clients that lasted nearly two decades. She was actually told by urologists she might have to take antibiotics for the rest of her life to prevent UTIs. Needless to say this is not something she wanted to do but she also knew that her urinary tract was being compromised by these recurring infections... Welcome to Health Empowered You. As our introduction, we want to make sure we start at the beginning. The first step in any health journey is awareness.
