Wake Integrative Health

As any yoga instructor will tell you, yoga is more than crazy headstands and impressive balances, it’s a lifestyle that brings balance and harmony to the mind, body, and spirit.

Yoga is sitting still and breathing.

Yoga is serving others.

Yoga is being present in the moment—any moment.

Social media platforms are designed to be addictive.

Notifications, for example, activate the brain’s reward center by releasing dopamine, a “feel-good chemical” linked to pleasurable activities like s*x, food, and social interaction. This feeling of receiving a notification is often so rewarding that we stop everything we’re doing, even if we’re in the middle of another task, just to read what the incoming message is about.

Generally speaking, we often forget to drink enough water or allow ourselves access to fresh water regularly. Unfortunately, this dehydration can make us move slower, feel less energized, and just gets in the way of allowing our bodies to function as they need to.

Challenge yourself to drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up, like while your coffee is brewing, to jumpstart your body after it’s been fasting from liquids all night. Then, throughout the day, keep freshwater within reach. This might mean investing in a pretty water bottle that you’re proud to sport on your desk and walk around with all day.

If plain water doesn’t feel exciting enough, try adding lemon juice, cucumber slices, fresh aloe vera juice, fresh mint, or any combination of citrus, berries, and herbs. Alternatively, you might try brewing some weak tea to sip on throughout the day for a little added flavor.

Sitting down with a therapist allows you the freedom to express yourself in ways that are impossible in everyday life.

While you might have friends that you can confide in and speak to about your problems, it’s not fair to dump ALL of your problems on people around you and expect them to take on that emotional labor.

More than that, the average person is not trained to help you make concrete and positive steps forward. If you’re ready to work through your issues with a professional, let’s schedule a consultation.

These are characterized by the body’s immune system attacking healthy cells and preventing them from carrying out normal healthy functioning within the body.

Cancer is probably the most well-known of this broad spectrum of disorders, and yet other kinds include Rheumatoid arthritis, Chron's disease, Celiac disease, Multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Lupus, Graves' disease, Pernicious anemia, and Type 1 Diabetes.

As most of these diseases do not have any known immediate cure, the traditional medicine approach will simply treat the symptoms of these, instead of going deeper and treating a root cause. (Many of these treatments attack the immune system and weaken it even more severely!)

However, Functional Medicine researchers have discovered specific biological markers in your bloodstream that help to pinpoint the root cause of the symptoms. Through identifying the WHY instead of labeling the WHAT, functional health will help remove the source of your autoimmune imbalances and help you use this knowledge to avoid worsening conditions.

Are you still working on mastering Crow Pose? There are a few ways that a block can help.

Place a block on the floor on its highest setting and use it to lean your forehead on as you press forward into Crow. For additional support, stack two blocks on top of one another to get more height.

Alternatively, give your hips a lift by perching on a block as you prep for Crow, and tilt forward from there, lifting your toes up from the block at your own pace.
