Our Health

Whether you have followed my work for many years or only recently found your way to Global Healing Institute, it is an honor to share this with you. Wherever you are on your own health journey today, I want you to know this letter was written with you in mind, and what I am about to share has meant a great deal to me.


When most people hear the word fasting, they picture someone drinking water and counting the hours until their next meal.

What surprises many people is how nurturing, doable, and invigorating fasting can truly be.

I have lived the water only form, including 18 days on distilled water alone, and the ancient texts describe something far wider. To the ancients, fasting meant stepping away from whatever was disrupting the body, the mind, and the soul, so the self healing mechanism could do what it was designed to do.


This past year I was reminded that what I most need to fast from is often outside the physical, such as the noise and the commitments I said yes to.


The Water Fasting Masterclass (PLUS my $29.95 Power of Fasting book as my gift) is where I bring all of this together. This replay is usually an exclusive benefit for my Healing Circle community, and today it is yours. In it, I walk you through:
  • the types of fasting the ancients practiced.
  • how I prepare my body before a long fast.
  • how I break a fast.
  • the checklist I use to look honestly at everything I may need to fast from, far beyond food.
As with everything I teach, I practiced each of these myself before I ever spoke about them.

The ancients understood that a change of season is one of the most natural times to fast, as the body is already moving through its own transition. As we enter another seasonal change, I will be writing to you over the coming days so I can support you at this ideal time.

Before you watch the summit replay, I want to share one more thing with you to keep in mind as you go through it.

Fasting is one piece of a much larger picture, and one of my graduates, Jasiel Monge, understands that well.

For years she collected pieces on her own, a cleanse here, a gut protocol there, each one real and each one standing apart from the others. When she came to understand health through the root cause, the pieces connected, and her own search became her calling as a Certified Natural Health Coach.

This is why fasting holds a place inside the Natural Health Coach Certification as one of the foundational practices of root-cause healing, for your own body first, then for the people you love, then for the coaching practice you may go on to build. You are the first person you heal.
 
Ginseng Fights Parkinson's Disease

Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., writes:


Studies have shown that various forms of ginseng have special properties that protect against Parkinson’s disease.

For example, in an animal model of human Parkinson’s disease, Panax ginseng — which contains high levels of a compound called Rg1 — significantly reduced the death of neurons in the part of the brain most damaged in Parkinson’s disease, called the substantia nigra. This occurred possibly by increasing the levels of critical antioxidant molecules in these brain cells — glutathione and superoxide dismutase.

Ginseng was also shown to protect these same neurons in other models of Parkinson’s disease in which a metabolic product of dopamine (6-hydroxydopamine) was used, as well as in a rotenone model.

Rotenone is a commonly used pesticide that is a major environmental cause of Parkinson’s disease. In one study, it was found that taking ginseng orally could completely protect the substantia nigra neurons from a very powerful brain toxin called MPTP, which is used to create animal models of human Parkinson’s, and can produce Parkinson’s in humans as well.

Importantly, ginseng protection worked even if it was taken two days after exposure to the toxin.

Panax ginseng was found to increase the amount of dopamine in the brain area affected in Parkinson’s, the striatum, and also reduced the iron level in this critical brain area. Accumulation of excess iron is known to be one of the earliest damaging events in Parkinson’s.

Components of American ginseng also provided considerable protection of these important neurons. American ginseng protects against Parkinson’s-related brain damage by inhibiting nitric oxide accumulation in the brain and by reducing inflammatory brain mechanisms.

Combining a healthy diet, exercise, and the use of other protective supplemental compounds will greatly increase success in combating this terrible disorder.

What does organic actually mean?​

There is more misinformation about organic than ever. Critics say that the word ‘organic’ is just marketing, but the USDA certification actually represents a tremendous promise of safety, transparency, and trust. In fact, organic is the most heavily regulated food system in the US. So what does it promise?
