Foot Zone training

I've been training to become a certified foot zoner and foot zone trainer.  I can use my essential oils, my research about body systems and my love for energy release and put them all into one wonderful modality.  Let me know if you are interested in learning about using oils for foot zoning.

Mind/Body/Spirit connection to Adrenal Energy and Foods

I have been following a very strict diet in order to regain my health.  GMOs, heavy metal and chemical pollutants, radiation, parasites, yeast infections.......you name it, I was affected by it.  And they all took a toll on my physical well-being.  So my diet has been largely ketogenic, and for the first time in 20 years I have been able to start to heal and to lose weight.
However, there is an emotional component to healing.  I find that eating foods I like actually increases my level of adrenaline.  Associating with comforting sounds, objects and even meals helps me ground myself, and again my adrenal levels go up.  When my diet is harshly restricted to where I am not eating anything comforting or emotionally warming, my adrenal energy levels sag.  I find that I have to create versions of my comfort foods that stay within the boundaries of my diet.  Easier said than done.......?  Yes.  But worth it.

                                                    

Taking a Worldwide Health Question Survey--need brief and constructive feedback

For more information, visit facebook site:  bereadytobewell       also  Be Ready To Be Well

Please friend us and like us on Be Ready To Be Well on facebook.  I am going to try to get some answers to our health questions from you as I take a survey around the world each week.  My readers are in 92 different countries, but we all suffer from similar pains and ailments.  I am looking for common connections so that we can start to find better answers to our health questions.

This week's survey:
Take your temperature with a thermometer under your tongue when you wake up, when you go to bed and in the middle of the night.  Make a chart for 1 week, checking daily.  Do you notice a temperature fluctuation?
For me, my temperature drops significantly during the night to 95 degrees Farenheit  (3.6 degrees too low).  My waking up temperature (basal temp) is 2 degrees too low, and my bedtime temp is 1 degree lower than the normal temp of 98.6. 
I would like to know if anyone besides me is experiencing these abnormally low body temperatures.  Please let me hear from you!

Aloha Culture and Dieting Decisions

I spent my Christmas and New Years holiday time with three of my children and their families in Hawaii this year. We are very blessed to have family and business here so that we get to mingle very closely with those who have spent their lives on these beautiful islands.  Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Portuguese, Korean, Samoan, Tongan, Tahitian, Caucasian........they're all in our in-law and family mix.  So Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinners were a real treat, as well as New Years Eve and New Years Day, not to mention the potluck for preschool's holiday program, the backyard barbecues and other invitations to dinner, or just eating out while on the road.
How is it possible to stick to a strict diet in these conditions, where every meal is a cultural treat? How do you politely refuse to taste a delicious entree, only because it has starches or sugary sauces or grains or dairy?  How do you avoid offense and maintain the diet?
I did pretty well, I think.  Politely interested and even empathetically concerned, these Hawaiian locals were very gracious.  I know they pitied me because I couldn't share in the cultural  and culinary treats and decided that they'd rather die young and happy rather than older and deprived.  And our choices for outings became very limited when they couldn't involve meals.
But after 3 weeks I feel I can face my doctor with my head held high.  My big "splurge" in all that time was some shaved ice without ice cream, and that was a conscious decision because it really felt "wrong" to turn my back on absolutely every treat we've always enjoyed together here as a family. 
It's a decision I don't regret.  Sometimes we do ourselves a disservice by being so focused on our physical self that we forget how important the social and emotional connections are, and we can miss precious opportunities to experience those.
So Aloha to all of you.  Maintain balance in your relationship with food, doctors, family, traditions and friends.  I hope the New Year is good to all of you, my readers in many countries.
