"During a treatment, I felt as though Ryan was peeling off layers of stress.  At the end of the session, I felt recharged and ready to face challenges.  The next day, my interaction with coworkers was more meaningful without being focused on worries.  I had more energy to really be in the moment with others." RR, Business Owner.

Cognitive Difficulties in Menopause

In the earliest part of menopause, especially in the FIRST YEAR memory problems are most predominant.

The process of learning new information, holding on to it, and employing it are functions associated with regions of the brain known as the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.

These parts of the brain are rich with ESTROGEN RECEPTORS. You can imagine that although this applies to menopause, anything else that disrupts estrogen levels can influence the memory.

The good news is that a combination of GINGKO BILOBA and a new compound extracted from SIBERIAN RHUBARB may fight this memory loss and improve cognitive function in the menopausal transition!

Blueberry Beet Smoothie Recipe

This beautiful purple smoothie delivers antioxidants along with its royal hue and includes ground flax seed for added nutrition.  Beets are one of the most powerful liver cleansing super foods!

Combine in a blender for one minute:

• ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1/3 cup diced beets (either roasted or raw)
• ¼ cup plain yogurt (low-fat is fine)
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
• 1 handful of ice (2-3 cubes)

Garnish with a slice of orange for a pretty contrast.

Healing benefits of avocados!

Super Anti-inflammatory Food!

A new study has shown that eating half of an avocado neutralizes the harmful inflammatory chemicals such as interleukin-6 which are normally produced by the body in response to eating red meat. Inflammatory chemicals are predominant in autoimmune disease, allergies, celiac disease, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, endometriosis and cancer!
