How can I manage the "stress" in my life? Isn’t stress just part of all of our lives? Don’t we all just have to endure it as best we can?! I have observed that most people have the perception that stress comes from outside our bodies, intent on ruining our day. We deal with the work schedule, the pressures of finances, angry drivers on the freeway, and so forth. The mindset appears to be a general resignation to the fact that we have no control over this external stress at all. The key word here is our mindset …

Why do some people enjoy a good night’s rest and a full energetic day while others struggle to sleep well and strain to make it through a stressful day without fatigue taking over? When fatigued, the mind is sluggish in decision-making, thoughts are often confusing and irritability dominates emotional responses. No matter the season, we all wish to be productive and fatigue can definitely hinder productivity. Summer is supposed to be a nourishing and stress-free time, but imagine ending the summer without having had the strength to participate in fun outdoor activities due to excess fatigue …

As I mentioned in my July article on hydration, I have lived with Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS) since my first year of college back in 1979. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported in June 2007 that an estimated 2.54 percent of Americans live with this chronic illness. That translates into almost 8 million of us; an astonishing number of people who feel really lousy. I was one of those sufferers who literally lost days of my life due to pain and exhaustion. I was also susceptible to every cold and flu bug that was going around. In addition, the fogginess of my brain made life frustrating …

The immune system of the human being is a highly evolved, delicate amplification system designed to ensure survival with an early warning system, hormone feedback loops and many filtration systems to keep us in homeostasis or balance. A particularly delicate time to work on rebuilding the body is during the postpartum period when a woman’s body is very depleted in all areas. We can see this in their blood when we do Vital Hematology …

Your head is pounding, your vision is blurred. The lights are suddenly turned up so bright you feel like you are in a spotlight. And why does someone have the volume turned on high? All you can do is to find a quiet place to lay down. You know that no matter who needs you, what deadlines you have, and where you are supposed to be, you won't be there until tomorrow. Oh well, everyone will have to understand, there is nothing you can do about it… it’s another migraine …

The word migraine is French in origin and comes from the Greek root word hemicrania. Hemicrania means "half the head". A migraine is a neurological syndrome that causes a pulsating headache on only one side of the head. It may last 4 to 72 hours and it is usually preceded by some kind optical precursor like tunnel vision or strange light disturbances. These headaches are very disabling and painful, the usual solution is for the sufferer to rest quietly in bed in darkness, drink lots of fluids, and use cold compresses on the head …

Everyone has had to deal with Upper Respiratory issues at least in one point in time in their lives. Generally, we all have to deal with this health challenge at least a few times a year! Breathing comfortably is a luxury we take for granted and we greatly long for the freedom of such a subconscious normal body process when we suffer from an illness which restricts it. Upper respiratory symptoms can occur due to allergies, viruses, bacteria, or fungal influence on the sinuses, the throat, bronchi, or lungs …

What's the first step in the digestive process? Believe it or not, it happens before you even taste your food.

Winter is still strong in parts of the country and spring is also peeking around the corner in California where HealthWalk is based. The changing weather, humidity and environmental conditions can create more stress for our bodies. Fortunately Galvanic Skin Response is an important biofeedback tool for assessing the influence of any stress to our bodies. Many types of stressors exist in the environment around us and our immune system will normally respond to it as a necessary part of balancing life. Molds and fungus can be very devastating to this balancing act of health …

Nature uses the microbe for the up building of life processes and also for the downgrading or degrading of life processes. When our bodies are laden with excessive organic debris, we develop microbial populations and illnesses associated with these accumulations. We may call it a cold or flu, yet these common illnesses cause us to stop our body’s daily internal life routines i.e. stopping the influx of toxins often result in stopping the expelling of the body’s debris. When we are overrun by yeast and or fungus it gets much more complicated because they produce toxins …
Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) testing and analysis is very useful in assessing general imbalances in the body and is especially helpful during the winter season with the prevalent colds and flu’s. The process is simple. The client first comes into Healthwalk™ and relays their chief complaint and symptoms. This way we can understand what is subjectively occurring in the client’s own words. Then, with the GSR, we will look at what is stressed in the body and whether the stressor is viral or bacterial. The process of GSR testing allows for identification of the stress, the body systems/organs under stress, and what the body needs to begin to balance itself, support the immune system and recover more quickly. There are then three solutions to be investigated once the stress information has been determined …
