WELLNESS

Native electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) occur in nature, such as Earth’s heartbeat known as the Schumann resonance measuring at 7.83 Hz. We measure our own electromagnetic waves in healthcare settings frequently with an EKG (electorcardiogram) or an EEG (electroencephalogram). How our body’s react to non-native EMFs does have negative effects. Learning how to counter balance or exist in a healthier way amidst these new technologies can positively impact your overall wellness.

If your 24 hour circadian rhythm is misaligned it impacts you on a cellular level. You may struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep, wake up with energy, fatigue, etc. Patterns of light are the dominant cue to your sleep-wake cycles. Light input to your eyes directly impacts hormone production, cortisol levels, and your autonomic nervous system.

Annual bloodwork should be a standard despite of how healthy you may feel. A complete blood count with differential, basic metabolic panel, lipid panel, thyroid panel, and sex hormone panel will give you clues on how to better support your body and the natural stressors of life. It will also allow you to see trends and possibly avoid significant health issues in the future. It costs far less to support your health than treat disease and complicated diagnoses.

Whether it is personal/ beauty products or household cleaning products your skin and lungs absorb chemicals on a daily basis without much thought. The European Union bans three times more ingredients in their personal products than the FDA within the United States. Advocacy and awareness for what you’re consuming looks a lot like learning how to read labels on a day to day basis.
