  • Holistic Thoughts on the Gallbladder.

    Interesting topic I have been thinking about a bit lately for some reason. Many people have or develop gallbladder issues at some point. Every year, a lot of people have this small organ removed surgically. Why does this happen? Can it be prevented? Here are some thoughts from a holistic standpoint. The gallbladder is a…

  • What is the healthiest food?

    This is kind of a trick question. You will hear different viewpoints on this, and some will claim that they have found an answer. Let me share how I view this topic. The short answer is that there is no one food group that is inherently better than the rest. A better question might be…

  • Excellence over Perfection

    Excellence over perfection. This is something a lot of people have issues with. The ironic thing is that many of us are striving for perfection in one area that we THINK is super important, while neglecting something else important that we may not have realized has value yet. I like to think of this in…

  • Raw Foods

    Quick post on navigating the realm of raw foods and cooked foods. Learning about the benefits of raw foods is not a bad skill to have. Mainstream culture doesn’t really do too much with this at times. Most restaurants are likely to contain primarily cooked, heavy foods. These things are comforting and high in calories.…

  • “Comfort-Challenge-Danger” Spectrum

    This is a model that is in the creation process, so there may be a few things to work out, but I think it can be a good way to look at these things. So many things work out better when we understand them in a meaningful way. This is a model that I have…

  • Essential Oils (AKA Medicinal Oils)

    This article is about essential oils. These things really are awesome. The name is a bit confusing; I think. Are they really essential? A lot of people do not use them and get by. However, if you want to have easy access to high quality natural medicines, they are a great thing to stock up…

  • Scientific “Knowledge”

    This is an interesting topic that I honestly need to work on myself a bit more. Science has become a driving force in many cultural things. Medicine, technology, industry. But does science have a dark aspect? I am a fan of what I call “True Science.” This is just pure science that has not been…

  • Figuring out Supplements

    This is a confusing topic for many people. Deciding if they want to take supplements or not. Deciding what types to take. Creating a supplement budget, etc. There are several factors. While writing this, I must note that natural supplements and “medicines” are in a similar category as “medications.” It is beyond my scope of…

  • 10-10-3 Breathing

    This is a quick tutorial into a breathing technique that I have created. To give a little bit of credit, it is a modified version of the breathing technique taught by Wim Hof. The original technique instructs for deep breaths of about 30-40 repetitions followed by a long breath hold at the end. You can…

  • Working and Protecting for What?

    There is a common theme that I have noticed in adult life. We get busy. We get responsibilities. We have problems to face. There are some things that we can change and other things that we cannot. This is just being an adult. What can happen though, is that slowly but surely, we forget certain…
