Join us as we continue the Purified Home discussion with Zack Pelzel. In 2008, Zack Pelzel set off on a 200-mile, 19-day trek in the Sierra Nevada backcountry. Record-breaking snowfall and freezing weather made for a grueling trip, exacerbated by inadequate supplies and finding himself occasionally lost in the wilderness. Rising despair would eventually give way to calm well-being by connecting with nature's cadence—the sunset/sunrise sleep/wake cycle, drinking fresh mountain stream water, breathing tree- purified air, and grounded in the earth's natural electrical energy.... Pelzel's experience in the Sierra wilderness ultimately underscores The Purified Home's four pillar philosophy—the harmonizing health benefits of clean air, fresh water, balanced light, and a natural electrical environment. As Founder and driving force behind the groundbreaking company, Pelzel is uniquely qualified to command the home purification process, leveraging extensive experience in the building industry, a career as a professional athlete, and five years of research and clinical practice towards a Master's degree in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine. His fully integrated approach to home health is key for identifying issues that compromise our well-being and for aligning ancient holistic principles and modern science to offer healthy solutions. “The Purified Home is fueled by our passion for living a more healthful happy life, says Pelzel. “Our mission is to provide the best opportunity for the optimal health of our clients by bringing their living environments into harmony with nature.”

In this episode, Doni and Dr. Rhonda chat with Emilio Sasamu Thomas about Garifuna history and culture. A professional musician and educator, Sasamu is the youngest member of the Garifuna Collective, a band based in Belize. He plays the guitar, piano and a variety of percussion instruments. Sasamu talks about how the Garifuna people are a mixture of indigenous and African, and about the various tales of how Africans arrived on the shores of the Western Hemisphere. He also talks about his efforts to preserve the Garifuna culture, particularly the importance of preserving the Garifuna language, which even though it may be spoken among small groups around Central America, it's still "alive." "The Garifuna language is alive, even if it's just five people who speak it, the mere fact remains that it is alive," he says. "And so our responsibility now is to teach the other generation to continue the language. It is very important that we recognize that we have a responsibility, and saying that it's dying instead of doing something about it means that we intend to let it die." Watch the video version of this episode on XOTV!---------------There's the story of who we are as individuals, what we know and walk with, and the story other people create in their minds about who you are.

With laughter and candor, Doni and Rhonda share their experiences. The term "code-switch" is becoming more prevalent in cultural circles, but according to Encyclopedia Britannica, it is the "process of shifting from one linguistic code (a language or dialect) to another, depending on the social context or conversational setting." Meanwhile, a 2019 Harvard Business Review article says, "Broadly, code-switching involves adjusting one's style of speech, appearance, behavior, and expression in ways that will optimize the comfort of others in exchange for fair treatment, quality service, and employment opportunities." Watch the video version of this episode on XOTV!---------------There's the story of who we are as individuals, what we know and walk with, and the story other people create in their minds about who you are.

Acupuncture is widely used to treat anxiety in both Asia and Western countries. It works faster than therapy and keeps you drug-free. In this week's episode, we're going to talk about how this helps with specific anxiety symptoms with my special guest, Laura Mellon.   Part One of 'New Help for Anxiety with Laura Mellon'   Laura Mellon grew up in the Dallas Fort Worth area and lived in Austin TX and the D.C. metro area. She's married and has two dogs. She adores food – both the cooking and the eating! Being outside in nature remains her favorite way to spend free time. Laura also likes gardening, hiking, scuba dive, paddleboard, and riding a bike. She believes that health is not just the absence of disease, and prevention is always better than cure.   Her undergraduate degree is a B.S. in Bio with a heavy minor in Chem. After finishing this degree, she worked in a professional laboratory testing for foodborne pathogens. Her interest in the field of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine wouldn't begin until around 2000 when a family member suffered a significant injury that affected several neurological aspects of living a healthy life. What started as a way to help her family became a voracious interest that led Laura to leave her career in the corporate world to go to graduate school.     Her graduate medical degree is an MSAOM, a Master of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She's licensed by the TX Medical Board and nationally certified by NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine) as a Diplomat in Oriental Medicine.   "We think it only takes one anti-anxiety pill and everything will be better. But nobody talks about the consequence of whatever that medicine's doing to your body." – Dianne A. Allen (30:57-31:09)   Laura started playing with her first microscope when she was seven years old. At an early age, she felt the need to understand all the little stuff because we tend to lose track of how the tiny ones affect the big ones.    She's been practicing traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture for four years. There is so much information in this field, and there's no way you can assimilate two thousand years of knowledge.    One of the benefits of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine is helping regulate and balance the body so that it can work better, positively impacting anxiety. They make it either go down or go away.   Part Two of 'New Help for Anxiety with Laura Mellon'   People with anxiety are usually overloaded mentally. If you haven't consulted an acupuncturist or traditional Chinese medicine person, you're missing a big part of what you could do to help yourself. There's a lot of qualified acupuncture people who can help support your body and help it function better, whatever your case may be.   "There's a lot of qualified acupuncture people who can help support your body so it can function better." – Dianne A. Allen (39:45-39:55)   It matters to find licensed and qualified human beings so you can get multiple viewpoints, check in with your soul and see what works for you. Because anything you hear on one side of the story, you will listen to the other side of the story. Use your discernment to educate yourself properly so that you can approach your health and wellbeing in a way that serves you.   The world of Chinese medicine is so much vaster than just needles. Find the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner that you vibe with that you trust and listen to because they have some understanding that's different and complementary to other ways of looking at things.   How to Connect with Laura Mellon   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-mellon-092731187/ Website: http://www.flourishacuhealth.com/   How to Connect with Dianne A. Allen   You have a vision inside to create something bigger than you. What you need are a community and a mentor. The 6-month Visionary Leader Program will move you forward. You will grow, transform and connect. http://bit.ly/DianneAAllen   Join our Facebook Group Someone Gets Me   Follow our Dianne’s Facebook Page: Dianne A.

A talk with  author and healer Joan Spencer.  Combining her work in holistic healthcare with her passion for helping others in their quest for fulfillment and self-realization, she recently released a new book called “Your Personal Guidance System: Unlock the Door to the Universe and Experience the Magic." Having received her Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Arizona School of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, Spencer is dedicated to helping others both heal and connect with their inner selves so that they may weather life’s storms and better navigate life. In "Your Personal Guidance System," she provides tools and techniques to help readers tune into their personal guidance system, an internal roadmap designed to lead each person to their true destiny, and learn how to receive and interpret its messages. Using personal anecdotes, she explains the various methods the guidance system uses to get our attention and demonstrates how following its direction brought her happiness and success. Would you be interested in speaking to Spencer about her book and how tapping into one’s source of intuition and direction can help in achieving happiness, contentment and, ultimately, healing? She’s also available as a source on any acupuncture or holistic health articles you may be working on. https://www.joanspencer.com/

Interview with Katherine Alexander Anderson Katherine (MBA, DACM, LAc, FABORM) entered into the study and practice of TCM for infertility through her own personal experience with reproductive challenges. She has an extensive background in the medical field and has operated reproductive health clinics in both New Hampshire and Maine for the last decade. In this interview she highlights her clinical knowledge of treating couples with unexplained infertility with 'Whole Systems Traditional Chinese Medicine'. As the president of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM) she is a strong advocate for patients utilizing properly certified TCM reproductive health specialists when choosing this avenue of care.   ~ Spence Email katherine@rhythmsforwomen.com Websites http://www.rhythmsforwomen.com http://www.thefertiletruth.com Professional Profile Bachelor of Science, Health Management & Policy, University of New Hampshire Master of Business Administration, University of New Hampshire Masters of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, New England School of Acupuncture Doctorate of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, Pacific College of Oriental Medicine PhD Candidate, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine Licensed to practice Chinese medicine in Maine and New Hampshire Professional Achievements Founded almost 10 years ago, and still operating today, a very busy fertility and women's health TCM clinic. I founded this at a time when many said you couldn't just specialize in fertility and women's health and you had to treat everything to survive. I said "if you don't specialize, you won't specialize:". If I you want to know a lot about something then you have to put your heart and soul into learning everything you can. So I did.  Taking over ABORM after the death of the founder was a huge challenge. I was honored that Ray knew I could do it based on my business degree/experience and success running my own clinic, but to do and do it well during a time of grieving by a membership that respected him was uniquely challenging . There were a lot of sleepless nights and stressful days feeling the pressure to ensure the organization survived. My leadership skills just instinctively took over and I developed a foundational structure for the organization that hadn't existed before so that it could withstand the current team and time.  I am honored that at this point in my career I have been asked to share some of my knowledge and wisdom with others. I have been asked to speak again at TCM Kongress for the 3rd time next year, recently spoke at the Evidence Based Acupuncture Symposium to help spread awareness of the research surrounding our profession and just completed writing an article in the Journal of Chinese Medicine on Unexplained Infertility that was a rewarding experience. I am passionate about our medicine and its ability to help fertility patients and love being a conduit, spreading the word in any way possible whether speaking to groups of patients or practitioners.

Natural Treatment For Menopause http://learntruehealth.com/menopause/ Weight Loss & Menopause With Herbs And Chinese Medicine I have Dana LaVoie here today to teach us about menopause. Even if you're not menopausal yet or past menopause, it is important to know this important stage in a woman's life. LaVoie is a licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist practicing for about 14 years. Women's health and menopause are her specializations as well as in tonic herbs. There are so many of her clients who have benefitted so much from Chinese medicine. I remember my mom going through menopause and she for 5 years, only saw an Acupuncturist which is a traditional Chinese doctor. She was cooking herbs on the stove every day. I never saw her go through hot flashes. Hence, it was like she never went through menopause. It's amazing to see Natural Medicine give her so much relief. Consequently, if we're really healthy, we don't have to have symptoms. Understanding Menopause Weight loss is a hot issue around women of all ages but especially around menopause or during menopause. Most women complain of the sudden weight gain. "During menopause, your hormones are changing. If you're really healthy, your body will be able to keep hormones in balance. Your metabolism stays good," LaVoie said. Understanding Weight Loss & Weight Gain "If your body can't keep up, that's when you get the menopausal symptoms like weight gain," said LaVoie. "What you eat is a lot more than losing weight. Think of diet as a way of nourishing your body to be healthy. Only then it becomes a lifestyle." LaVoie suggests eating a warm, easy breakfast like congee is easy to digest. Congee is a Chinese comfort food that is easy to digest. It's grains that are cooked for a long time in a large amount of liquid. Like a porridge. "If you're having trouble losing weight, look at how much cold, raw or frozen food you're eating," explains LaVoie. "Because that puts out your digestive fire which is your metabolism. You can gain weight just by eating cold, raw or frozen food." My husband eats frozen organic blueberries. And he started gaining weight. He just eats a handful of cashews, some vegetables or meat or some eggs for breakfast. But whenever he eats frozen blueberries, he gains weight. LaVoie has a client with the same situation. The client's diet is smoothies made with fruits and ice, salads which are raw and cold, and yogurt yet she's still gaining weight. LaVoie immediately knew what the problem was. Hence, It was an easy fix. Foods For Certain Body Types I know Ayurvedic medicine is not Chinese medicine but I know they have identified different body personalities or 'dosha' wherein somebody types should eat more warm foods and another type. "There are people whose symptoms or problems they have, are primarily due to excess heat that they have inside their body," LaVoie said, "They have excess conditions caused by heat. Hence, they need to eat more raw or cooling foods." Furthermore, LaVoie explains that others have a body personality where digestion is a weak area. If they eat a lot of cold and cleansing food, they get half-digested. She says that accumulates and turns into weight gain. It's called 'phlegm' and 'dampness' in Chinese medicine. Fire And Water Energies LaVoie says a woman can feel hot for two reasons. You have fire and water energies in your body so sometimes when you feel hot, it means you don't have enough water. She says this is called deficiency fire. It tends to come and go in flashes usually worse at night. As a result, you tend to get dryness. Using herbal tonics to treat menopause, results are usually seen after a couple of weeks. But the first big change happens after 3 months. Anyone who starts a tonic herbal program, they first do a foundation combination of herbs for 99 days to cleanse and reset. That's how long the body cycles through the first big change. And then move on to the next phase. Avoiding Diet Pitfalls "You don't want your body to think you're in starvation mode. The primitive part of your brain starts to think something is wrong," LaVoie cautioned. "It takes 6 months for your metabolism to recover from being in that starvation mode." "Your brain chemistry starts to change and your hormones start to change. Your metabolism immediately starts to go down but your cravings go up. This increases your stress hormones," said LaVoie. LaVoie shares what Dr. Mark Hyman said on her blog, as to why diet fails. He says that the average person gains 11 pounds for every diet that they go on. And Dr. Hyman says when they lose weight, they lose muscle, not fat. When they gain weight back, it's all fat. "If you can just keep your metabolism up by not starving and instead of satiating yourself 5 times a day every 3 hours with nutritious food, weight loss is easier," concluded LaVoie. Boosting Metabolism La Voie's program is boosting metabolism naturally. While there are benefits from different kinds of fasting, the Chinese medicine approach to a healthy digestion is to eat regularly. "Insulin and sugar hugely contribute to weight gain. It ties in with the hormone cortisol, your stress hormone," LaVoie said. "If your insulin level is uneven it increases your stress hormone levels and inflammation." Earth Energy Furthermore, she explains that in Chinese medicine, your digestive system is considered your earth energy. It's where you make blood and your watery essence from. If your digestive system is poor, your body can't make blood and your watery essence. In menopause, watery essence controls the fire in our body, moisturizes our body and keeps you calm. "Without watery essence, your mood spikes and fly all over the place," LaVoie said. "Lack of watery essence leads to dry tendons, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel and lack flexibility. Some women can also get dry eyes and mouth during menopause." Our mucous membranes also become dry and that leads to painful intercourse. Women are less likely to have a sex drive if they have all these imbalances. LaVoie also said that recurring urinary tract infection is really unpleasant. Because if your vaginal tissues are dry, they are less plump. So the opening becomes bigger. If they are plump, it's hard for bacteria to get in. Foods To Improve Water Essence LaVoie suggests that having a high amount of fruits and vegetables helps in making sure your water essence is sufficient. Because those foods are cooling and moistening. Pears, seeds, black beans are particularly good to include in your diet. She also said that as you approach menopause, there are estrogen-rich foods which are safe. Flax seeds, organic, fermented and non-GMO soy, as well as sesame seeds, are good. Healthy fats are going to be a great basis. Make sure you're not iron-deficient as well. When I was growing up, my mom took us to Dr. D' Adamo. James D'Adamo. The father of the original creator of the "Eat Right For Your Type" blood type book. Going to him growing up, he had us on this kick. He had us do this every morning---freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and his mysterious protein powder and flaxseed all blended together with our Vitamix. If you don't drink it fast enough, it turns to gel which I personally prefer. I never had a problem with constipation and I always had perfect digestion. LaVoie's Daily Morning Smoothie Here's what LaVoie puts in her warm smoothie which she drinks every morning. You can mix match the bases to give you a different flavor every day: Liquid - Water/ Coconut water/ nut milk/ herbal tea (make sure the liquid base is warm) Herbs - Herb capsules Seeds - flaxseeds/ chia/ sesame / Brazil nuts/ almonds Healthy fats - coconut oil/ egg yolk Spices - cinnamon / ginger/ ginger root (good for digestion) Protein powder - pea protein/whey protein from grass-fed cows Sweet fruit drops (alternative to stevia) Green powder Fruit powder Fruit Vegetables Superfoods Cocoa powder Pinch of salt Yogurt Herbal Program LaVoie noticed that the ones who benefits the most are the ones to take the herbs regularly for 3 months up to 2 years. She thought,'How can I make more people excited about taking their herbs more regularly?' So she created a program. The program is a one-on-one thing that is customized to your health goals and your budget. It is delivered to you every month. You have to use up all the herbs in the box before the next box comes. And then LaVoie usually calls in her clients and re-evaluate their progress after 3 months. There's also a weekly Q & A with her as well as a resource library. The program is very affordable so more women can avail of this program. LaVoie expanded it for menopausal clients. She came up with 16 herbal combinations specifically for menopause. Menopause Basics: What To Eat First of all, LaVoie says to eat a good diet and have a healthy lifestyle. Combine that with herbs and you get amazing results. "Eating the right foods is the way to start. In this program, everything you want to include in your diet to make your hormones balance naturally," said LaVoie. "Any age is ok. It's not a diet. This is just what to include in your diet." She adds, if you want to have coffee or doughnut, it's fine. But you need to balance it with healthy foods. You need to have them often enough. By getting that healthy food in your body, it evens out your hormones, energy, blood sugar and mood. LaVoie's 4-Steps To Hormonal Balance 1. What you include in your diet is more important that what you leave out. 2. By practicing stress management and eating protein and healthy fat often enough throughout the day, you can help balance cortisol and insulin levels, which helps your other hormones immensely. 3. Avoid the worst of the hormone disrupting chemicals. 4. Add adaptogenic superfoods into the diet. Finally, LaVoie advises," Adapt the Chinese medicine into your menopause. It's called the "second spring". If you get some healthy habits in place now, it will stay on track for the rest of your life." Dana LaVoie is the founder and creator of Menopause Basics.

For some women, menopause sucks! You might be dealing with any combination of seemingly uncontrollable issues like weight gain, boiling hot flashes, soaking night sweats, or mood swings so severe they can take over your life.  Not to mention the mental fog, dry skin, and low energy.

Dana's website is: http://danalavoielac.com/ Free Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MenopauseBasics/ Free Download for Learn True Health listeners: The 4 Steps To Hormonal Balance http://bit.ly/Hormone-Foundation Dana's online course is called "Menopause Basics: What To Eat". It's an online mini-course on how to get all the right building blocks into your diet for hormonal balancing during menopause. "I'm most passionate about discussing how setting the right foundation for diet & lifestyle paves the way for a woman's body to balance hormones naturally during menopause. It's then easy to add a few herbs on top of that for fantastic relief from Menopausal symptoms. I have a 4-Step plan that sets the foundation for hormonal balance. For many women, these 4 steps are enough to relieve hormonal symptoms. With this foundation in place, it becomes much easier to get relief by adding herbs, acupuncture, supplements, or any other method of hormonal balance. I also love to discuss herbs in general and the difference between medicinal and Tonic Herbs, whether it's for hormonal balancing, the immune system, or one of my favorite topics - anti-aging and longevity." Dana LaVoie's 4 steps to hormonal health: 1. Step 1 is that what you include in your diet is more important that what you leave out. (and I'll explain why and most important things to add in first) 2. Step 2 is lifestyle. By practicing stress management and eating protein and healthy fat often enough throughout the day, you can help balance cortisol and insulin levels, which helps your other hormones immensely. 3.Step 3 is avoiding the worst of the hormone disrupting chemicals. I would love to talk about where to find some of the really bad sneaky ones like the phthalates in artificial fragrance! 4. Step 4 is adding my favorite adaptogenic superfoods into the diet.
