Tired of hearing

“It’s all in your head”

We can help.

At Balanced Health Solutions we take the guess work out of thyroid diagnostic testing.

Many women who are now taking thyroid hormones are still suffering with the same low thyroid symptoms, which include the inability to lose weight, constipation, depression, hair loss, fatigue, etc., even though their lab results are “normal.” Potentially serious processes may be going on inside your body right now and you don’t even know it.

“After the proper diagnostic testing, I was able to get my thyroid condition under control. In the process, I lost 22 pounds and I got my energy level back. I feel like a new person thanks to Balanced Health Solutions!”

publisher’s letter

the start of something

S

NEW

pring season is generally noted in nature as a time for renewal. Many animals birth their young, and fauna springs forth from the warmed earth.

Spring is a time of growth and a start for something new.

It was eight years and nine months ago when I created, founded and published Healthy Beginnings Magazine and www.HBmag.com to serve northern Nevada and the Lake Tahoe Region communities.

I am very grateful that Healthy Beginnings Magazine’s content was well received by both readers and advertisers alike. It played an incredible roll in educating the public on a variety of alternative, integrative and natural health care providers and their services. It was truly a conduit for the alternative, integrative and natural health care providers to reach this curious health conscious audience.

It has been a wonderful journey for me. I have met many gifted and talented healers and HB readers who have attributed personal life changing events to HB’s educational articles and the advertisers who provide the services.

Sometimes, good things must come to a close — or to a new beginning. It gives me great pleasure to announce that Sierra Nevada Media Group will now take over the reins at Healthy Beginnings Magazine.

I chose this group because they care about the content of the magazine and website and because they are extremely community focused. It is also important to note that the new publisher Lynn Virgilio has the experience and professionalism to carry on the Healthy Beginnings tradition.

And now, a word from your new publisher Lynn Virgilio As part of the leadership team for Swift Communications, it was important to all of us as we pass the baton that the care of Healthy Beginnings publication continues to be led by an experienced media professional. I am very excited about the opportunity to continue the Healthy Beginnings publication.

Along with that enthusiasm, I bring my personal passion for the alternative, integrative and natural care lifestyle.

We are looking forward to continuing to provide a valuable and meaningful publication.

Please come meet the new publisher, Lynn, and say goodbye to Dawn, at the 13th annual Nevada Women’s Expo, at RenoSparks convention center on Saturday, March 28 10 am - 5 pm and Sunday March 29, 11 am - 4 pm.

EVENTS AT NORTHSTAR ripperoo's rail jam March 1 - March 28, 2015 Time: 4 p.m. - 6 p.m.

Northstar’s Ski and Ride School will host Ripperoo’s Rail Jam Fridays and Saturdays throughout the season from 4 - 6 p.m. on the Overlook. The introductory park clinic is free to kids on skis or snowboards and includes instruction from Northstar’s Ski and Ride School Coaches. Kids 12 and under will learn the fundamentals of how to tackle their first rail slide and receive tips on how to ride other terrain park features. Kid’s will also learn general terrain park etiquette and safety. Guests must bring their own equipment. All participants must have parents sign a waiver and also be accompanied by a parent at all times. The rail jam is subject to weather and conditions.

While kid’s participate in the rail jam parents can enjoy specials at our Overlook Bar from 4 – 6 p.m. $1 off signature cocktails, $1 off S’mores Kits and $3 off when you purchase both together.

twilight snowshoe tours March 7, 2015 Time: Varies Take an evening to slow down and enjoy the peaceful setting of the Sierra Nevada on our guided evening snowshoe tours.

The 2 to 2.5 hour guided tour will begin at the Cross Country, Telemark and Snowshoe Center at 5pm. The group will depart on a meandering journey through the pine tree lined forest working your way to the Village at Northstar. During the adventure, you’ll enjoy time around a fire pit and indulge in s’mores and hot chocolate. Dogs on leashes are welcome to join in the fun!

Rates are $52 per adult and $36 per child ages 10 through 12.

We have limited the ages of children to 10 and above to keep the group moving at a steady pace. If you have little ones, please look into our Family Afternoon Snowshoe Tours which are geared to the younger ages. Reservations can be made through 1-800-GO-NORTH, the Northstar Cross Country Center, visiting the Northstar Season Pass & Tickets Office, or online. Reservations are highly recommended since this event sells out on a regular basis. Tours will take place snow or shine and all participants must wear warm, waterproof boots. You are welcome to bring your own snowshoes, or they are available to rent for $20 per pair.

CANCER-ASSOCIATEDfatigue WHAT CAN BE DONE?

Written By Robert A. Eslinger, D.O., H.M.D.

C

ancer-associated fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in all forms and stages of cancer, yet scant attention is usually given to patients who have symptomatic complaints of fatigue. Cancerassociated fatigue is also associated with cellular oxidative stress and during cancer therapy; excess drug-induced oxidative stress can limit therapeutic effectiveness and cause a number of “side effects”, including fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and even more adverse effects. Most patients get told by their oncologist “stop taking all your supplements”.

Recent research indicates that supplementation with some specific nutrients, lipids (fats), and enzymatic cofactors can not only help the therapies work better but significantly cut down on these “side effects”.

Cancer-associated fatigue is not well understood, but it is thought to be a combination of the effects of the cancer itself plus the effects of the cancer treatments. Up until recently, cancer-associated fatigue was rarely treated and thought to be an unavoidable symptom. This is no longer true.

Fatigue can vary in degree from mild to severe during cancer therapy, and it is often a significant reason why patients discontinue therapy.

Oral supplements containing phospholipids, phosphoglycolipids, cardiolipids, and other membrane lipids along with anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals and other supplements have been used successfully to improve and even restore mitochondrial function and significantly decrease fatigue in both cancer and chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia syndrome patients.

In the past, major fatigue has been an accepted part of dealing with cancer, other chronic diseases and their treatment.

Patients no longer have to accept this as a given. They should seek out physicians who are knowledgeable enough to prevent it from happening.

By reducing oxidative stress, supplementation with antioxidants can counteract the effects of chemotherapy-induced oxidative stress on the cell cycle and enhance the cytotoxicity (effectiveness) of anti-cancer agents.

One of the most common sources of fatigue in the cancer patient is cardiotoxicity or poisoning of the heart by certain chemo drugs. This is due to damage to the mitochondria, which are the “energy factories” inside the heart muscle cells. It has been proven that Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) administered along with the chemo can maintain the integrity of cardiac mitochondria and prevent damage to the heart while enhancing the anti-cancer activity of the chemo.

Another method of preventing oxidative damage to all the mitochondria in the body is by reversing the accumulation of damaged lipids (fats) in the mitochondrial membrane with lipid replacement therapy plus antioxidants.

vitamin a TREATMENT OF DISEASE

By Michael Gerber, MD, HMD

blindness The leading cause of blindness in the world is xerophthalmia, vitamin A deficiency that causes dry eyes with subsequent ulceration, infection and blindness.

I was on the Board of Directors of the Threshold Foundation in the 1970s, which helicoptered in vitamin A to remote villages of Nepal. One dose of 600,000 iu of vitamin A was administered to the vitamin A deficient children, preserving their eyesight for life5.

ear infections in children Studies from Asia have confirmed that otitis media, common ear infections, can be prevented and treated with vitamin A. Lack of vitamin A causes squamous metaplasia, a condition where tall, columnar cells with cilia (hairs on them) that line our ears, lungs and sinuses are converted to flat cells that grow on our skin primarily and don’t give the same immune protection.

If a child is getting ear infections, it is a good idea to avoid cow milk whose protein (casein) is about five times longer than human breast milk protein. It causes inflammation in the bowel, which can inflame the Eustachian tubes causing glue ear. This phenomenon has been recognized in ear, nose and throat journals since the 1930s.

measles There are scores of diseases and syndromes that can be treated with vitamin A (over 70)1. None have such a depth of research supporting its use than does measles2.

This virus, rubeola, is most frequently seen in third world countries where there are major nutritional deficiencies.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that treatment with large doses of vitamin A significantly reduced the morbidity (serious complications) and mortality (death) up to 83 percent in patients with measles3. Measles lowers vitamin A levels by increasing utilization for the vitamin and by interfering with its transport from the liver1.

Ellison first documented the protective effect of vitamin A on measles mortality in 19324. The effect of vitamin A supplementation was most pronounced in children under two years old.

The World Health Organization’s suggested dose for children with measles was 200,000 iu two days in a row, and 100,000 iu two days in a row for infants under two years5. Early research was done with cod liver oil sources of vitamin A, but more recent research suggests water soluble vitamin A achieves higher tissue levels.

Vitamin A reduced hospitalization an average of 4.7 days in one study at a cost of two cents in 1998 making it highly cost effective. Until 1993, there were no reports of acute vitamin A toxicity in children who took the WHO recommended dose, as reported by the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics6.

Headaches, loss of appetite, vomiting and bulging fontanelles (in infants) are some of the known adverse effects occasionally occurring with the administration of high doses of vitamin A. However, these symptoms are minor and transitory, with no known long-term effects and requiring no special treatment7.

Most infectious diseases, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, sinus infections, sore throat, acne and chronic skin diseases, bowel diseases and many more, can be helped by our friend vitamin A.

THE JOYS AND MYTHS OF BIO IDENTICAL HORMONES Written By Dr William N. Clearfield, D.O.

H

ormones are the most powerful molecules in biology. They carry messages from their organ of origin to specific cells, impacting every aspect of our being, from cell proliferation, to protein synthesis to metabolic rate. They are designed to keep the body’s internal milieu in check and while carrying out the instructions encoded in their DNA. Hormones are what cause a young lady's shape to develop, mood to lighten, voice to soften, hair to shine, react positively or negatively to stress and engage in courtship, marital relations and childbirth.

As she matures, she loses her ability to produce hormones resulting in major and minor disruptions in body and mind.

Thinking clouds, breasts droop, and depending on the hormones involved, anxiety, irritability and night sweats are common.

A minor example is thinning of the outer third of the eyebrow as a sign of thyroid deficiency. Thinning of the mid eyebrow reflects a drop in growth hormone and thinning of the inner third of the eyebrow reveals a lack of testosterone in females as well as males. 1

Fatigue, low energy, loss of motivation, weight gain, decreased sex drive, depressed mood, anxiety or irritability, loss of memory or loss of concentration are symptoms of hormonal decline.

Fortunately, these symptoms can be reversed and restored to a reasonable degree of vitality by replacing the diminished hormones with identical ones mother nature provides.

The benefits of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy include improvements in energy, fat loss, sex drive, memory and concentration, sleep, diminished night sweats, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, itching, and painful intercourse.

Wrinkles smooth, bones are protected and the risk of heart disease is reduced.

What are, and why the emphasis on "bio-identical hormones?"

All hormone replacements, by definition, are "synthetic."

The term "bio-identical" hormone refers to those substances that are created from wild Mexican yams and soy and are chemical duplicates of the hormones we produce naturally.

"Synthetic" hormones in contrast, are chemically unique, and in the case of estrogen, contain 10 estrogenic molecules, only three of these are human. This resulted in hormones

that created blood clots, increased (rather than decrease cholesterol levels as seen with bio-identicals), doubling the risk of strokes and heart disease.2 The elephant in the room, breast cancer increased by 20% in those taking synthetic estrogens.3 Adding Provera, synthetic progesterone, as is done to balance the hormonal symphony, proved even more of a disaster. In a study of 55,000 women over fourteen years, the Women's Health Initiative revealed a forty percent increase in breast cancer when using synthetic estrogen and progesterone.4 In contrast, taking bio-identical estrogen and bio identical progesterone resulted in a ten percent decrease in breast cancer from those taking no hormones, a thirty percent reduction in those using synthetic estrogen only and a whopping fifty percent reduction in those using combination synthetic therapy. 5 Although estrogen and progesterone rightfully draw the lion's share of attention, balancing all of the major hormones is the key to good health.

In addition to the latter, we measure and replace, if indicated, testosterone to maintain muscle and bone strength, restore libido, provide a sense of well being and reduce “bad” cholesterol.

Thyroid hormones maintain temperature, energy and appropriate levels of blood sugar. Low levels result in high cholesterol and heart disease.

Cortisol, the stress hormone, is frequently abnormal in chronic fatigue states.

Insulin regulates carbohydrate metabolism. Abnormal insulin levels result in blood sugar abnormalities, chronic low level inflammation and premature aging.

Vitamin D3 behaves like a hormone. It controls the immune system, improves mood and protecting the brain and heart against toxic chemicals. It has a role in sleep, blood sugar control and maintaining bone health.

WOMEN!

DHEA regulates estrogen and testosterone production, plays a role in bone health, mood disorders, immune function, helps prevent diabetes and facilitates weight loss.

Having trouble with memory and concentration?

Night Sweats, Sleep?

Low energy?

Growth Hormone reduces body fat, increases muscle mass, prevents cardiovascular disease, improves lung function, enhances sexual performance, and hair re-growth. It has developed a bad reputation, and high cost, due to abuse by celebrities, athletes and politicians. In appropriate doses and in the hands of a skilled practitioner, growth hormone can reverse many ill effects of aging. There are injectable and oral agents that stimulate the body to make its' own growth hormone at a reasonable cost.

Pregnenolone aids in stress reduction, memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease, fatigue and energy production.

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy can reverse many of the symptoms related to low estrogen and add benefits of smooth skin, decreased osteoporosis and heart disease.

Melatonin has gain as a natural sleeping pill. It is generally more effective when we combine it with Vitamin D and Magnesium taurate. It is essential for proper immune and inflammatory responses shift workers or combating jet lag.

Hormonal decline is caused by and contributes to aging.

The loss of hormones is both natural and deleterious to one's health. The big three killers of women, heart disease, osteoporosis and breast cancer are all rare before menopause.

Appropriately restoring hormones results in youthful benefits, improvement in the disorders of aging and less, not more risk of disease.

RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME New Data on Causes and Solutions Written By Martin Rutherford, D.C., C.C.S.T., C.F.M.P. and Randall Gates, D.C., D.A.C.N.B.

R

estless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a debilitating condition in which individuals experience an intense sensation causing them to have to- or want to- move their legs at inappropriate times- like at night when in bed.

Often times RLS sufferers have to get up and move around to stop the unwanted movement, an action which ultimately prevents them from getting any sleep as this sensation mostly occurs at night.

March 2015

In this article we will present new data regarding RLS, its causes, and new non-drug treatment options.

First lets — in a very simplistic manners — describe the mechanism within the brain. That’s right — the brain — that when interfered with — causes RLS. When your brain wants you to move a body part, your leg for example, it issues the command to move that body part. This command from the brain cortex to create movement in the leg traverses through a deep structure in the brain on its way to activate the muscles in the leg. This structure is called the basal ganglion. The command circuits are well mapped out circuits. In RLS this circuit breaks down in the basal ganglion, a structure which regulates movement and whose breakdown is involved in other movement syndromes such as Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease.

The basal ganglion is regulated by sensory (touch, temperature, pressure, joint motions, muscle stretch, pain) feedback impulses from all joints and muscles in the body.

These feedback impulses must be present to stimulate the basal ganglion to work properly and prevent us, as human beings, from experiencing uncontrolled and non-self directed movement. When this feedback mechanism is interfered with you get RLS, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease — all characterized by various types of tremors.

The newly investigated and understood causes of this pathways breakdown are: 1. The condition Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) — a significant percentage of PN sufferers also experience RLS. Why? Because the PN sufferers are experiencing damage to the nerves in their hands and feet causing numbness, burning, tingling, cramping etc. This damage and pain symptoms shuts down the necessary sensory feedback mechanisms vital to good basal ganglion function and often causes RLS. 2. Iron deficiencies — recent studies have confirmed that when brain iron load is low it directly effects the production of dopamine production. Dopamine is a brain chemical (neurotransmitter) that primes the basal ganglion. That’s why Parkinson’s patients who also suffer from basal ganglion dysfunction due to inadequate dopamine production are given drugs that increase dopamine. For RLS sufferers low iron = low dopamine = problems in the movement command center and frequently = RLS. 3. Low back nerve irritation — People who fit the criteria for low back surgery (ie disc problems and pinch nerves that have not responded to conservative therapies) can have this as a cause of RLS. The pinches nerve or compromised spinal cord acts as interference to the stimulation required from structures in the legs and feet to stimulate the basal ganglion.

here’s almost nothing worse than experiencing ear pain, itching, loss of hearing, or a sinus headache.

Ear Candling is an ancient practice, dating back to biblical times in Egypt, the Orient, as well as European cultures.

This simple, gentle treatment removes wax from the ear, improving your sense of well-being, physical, mental and even spiritual. The candle is a long hollow tube made from unbleached muslin immersed in an aromatic herbal solution. After it dries, the cone is then dipped into beeswax. The cone or candle is then placed into the ear opening and the top of the cone is lit; soft warm white smoke billows down the tube into the ear and softens the wax. The flame on top of the cone creates a vacuum that pulls out built up wax, toxins, bacteria, dirt and residue from past medications. Ear Candling may also help with a dry hacking cough (a result of a sinus infection), sinus headache, tinnitus, and itchy ear. Today more people are seeking alternatives to digging in the ear with Q-tips or using a hydrogen peroxide flush to clean a blocked ear canal. Ear Candling is a relaxing, natural, non-intrusive treatment.

HEART ATTACK? You feel the pain in your chest. The question raises its ugly head, “Could this be the BIG ONE? Is this a heart attack?”

T

he American Heart Association instructs that “typical” heart attack symptoms come on slowly, with only mild pain or discomfort. Often, because we are unsure as to what is taking place, we wait too long before seeking medical help.

Written By Dr. Tony Jensen

The importance of understanding what signs could indicate the onset of a heart attack cannot be overemphasized:

Chest discomfort Most heart attacks begin with discomfort in the center of the chest and last more than a few minutes. The feeling of discomfort can leave and then return. One might experience the sensation of uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.

Discomfort in other areas of the upper body Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.

Shortness of breath May occur with or without chest discomfort.

Other signs May include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or light-headedness.

Similar to men, the most common heart attack symptoms in women are chest pain or discomfort. But in women, symptoms are more likely to be atypical. Although most women experience chest pain or discomfort, there are many who do not. In a 2003 Circulation study of female heart attack patients, scientists found that during an attack, 43 percent of the 515 women studied had no “acute chest pain,” a “hallmark symptom in men.”

The study noted some common female heart attack symptoms as: shortness of breath (57.9 percent), weakness (54.8 percent) and unusual fatigue (42.9

6 Tricks of the Fitness Trade

Beat the mental roadblocks to exercise your way through winter

By Dana Carman, CTW Features The easiest part of committing to consistent exercise is rationalizing the excuses to consistently skip workouts – it’s too cold or hot; work is too busy; ooooh, television. The brain doesn’t always cooperate with the body’s needs, which is why sometimes we must trick it into doing what’s best for us – even when the couch, DVR and pint of ice cream are calling. Loudly. Try some of these tricks of the trade to quiet the excuses and turn up the motivation.

1. You

Won’t Actually Know You’re Exercising

“The simplest thing is to use whatever is around,” says Kimberly Garrison, a Philadelphia-based fitness, health and wellness coach. In particular, Garrison suggests using the stairs as much as, and whenever, possible, and not running, but simply taking your time up those flights. Not only is it a “tremendous heart workout” but Garrison notes that stairs improve balance and strengthen the legs and gluteal muscles.

MIND OVER MEDICINE Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself

By Lissa Rankin, M.D. Reviewed for Healthy Beginnings

By June Milligan, M.Ed., CCHt, PLR

The author has developed an extensive wellness model.

Her training and experience as a medical doctor, mixed with her talents as a life coach have merged in this model.

Just from working through it as you read the book, you can develop your own health plan. Through her research, Dr. Rankin discovered that the health care she had been taught to practice was missing something crucial: a recognition of the body’s innate ability to self-repair and an appreciation for how we can control these self-healing mechanisms with the power of the mind. She shows how thoughts, emotions and beliefs can alter the body and the brain.

Socrates said, “There is no illness of the body apart from the mind.”

Esther Hicks in The Law of Attraction says, “There are thousands of people in hospitals today trying to heal physically from something that was caused emotionally.”

For those of us who are shifting our thinking about what it means to be in charge of our own health and wellness, this book is one of a kind.

What makes Mind Over Medicine so valuable for the lay reader is that she provides information that’s grounded in scientific study from mainstream medical journals in understandable language. This medical doctor left her mainstream practice in order to assist people to heal holistically. As a partner in a medical clinic, she was expected to spend only seven and a half minutes with each patient and see 40 patients a day. The stress of working with that schedule led to multiple health issues of her own, and after a few serious family challenges, she left her practice to rest, recover and find another way to accomplish what she went to medical school to learn how to do: help people.

B-12 BINGO Vegan, vegetarian and Paleo eating are all the rage, but these ‘healthy elimination’ diets can cause serious deficiencies, too

By Bev Bennett, CTW Features If you’re eliminating foods from animal sources to lose weight or improve your heart health, your good intentions could put you at risk for a vitamin B12 deficiency — especially if you’re a mature adult. Even if you aren’t a vegetarian or vegan, your age could mean that your body isn’t absorbing enough B12.

“People who are hitting age 50 should ask about their B12 status,” says Netty Levine, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator with Nutrition Counseling Services at CedarsSinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Advertise your business in the PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY section for only $4.17 per day.

Being deficient in vitamin B12 could leave you fatigued and weak. You could develop cognitive changes, such as confusion or memory loss.

As you age you may be producing less stomach acid necessary to absorb vitamin B12. That’s especially true if you’re on acid blockers.

In addition, if you’re on certain diabetes medications or if you’ve had gastric bypass surgery you also may be at greater risk for a B12 shortfall.

A simple blood test can determine whether you have a deficiency. If you’re

It’s important that you’re consuming and absorbing adequate B12. The vitamin, which is found in animal foods (and added to many processed products), plays a role in red blood cell formation and neurological function.

amethyst THE ALL-HEALER Written By Allison Prater

T

he name Amethyst derives from the Greek word ametusthos, meaning “not intoxicated,” and comes from an ancient legend. Bacchus, the god of wine, angry over an insult, decreed the first person he should meet would be devoured by his tigers. This happened to be a beautiful maiden named Amethyst on her way to worship at the shrine of Diana. She sought the protection of the goddess and was saved by being turned into a clear, white crystal. Bacchus, regretting his cruelty, poured the juice of his grapes over the stone as an offering, giving the gem its lovely purple hue.

Amethyst is a receptive stone, associated with the planets of Jupiter and Venus. Amethyst is a variety of Quartz found in many locations around the world, and forms as transparent, terminated crystals of all sizes in geodes, clusters and as long, single terminations. The presence of manganese in clear Quartz produces Amethyst, while additional amounts of iron vary the purple coloration.

Amethyst ranges in hue from pale red-violet to deep violet, and may be transparent or opaque.

Amethyst has been highly prized throughout the ages for both its beauty, and its healing properties. It is a semi-precious stone in today’s classifications, but it was considered precious by many ancient cultures. It is a unique stone in that it carries the energies of fire, passion, creativity and spirituality, yet bears the logic of temperance and sobriety.

Throughout history, the special virtue of Amethyst has been that of preventing eloquent speech. said to aid in drunkenness andIt is overindulgence, success in business matters, andoveris not only for inebriation but in particularly known for assistance zealousness of passion.

A strong and open heart also allows universal blessings to flow into one’s life. Emerald is a powerfully grounding stone in meditation, it helps the meditator to maintain focus on the

energy, and returns the energy back to the universe after being transformed into positive, loving energy.

Referred to as “nature’s tranquilizer,” Amethyst calms and soothes, assisting the transmission of neural signals through the brain. It relieves obsessive compulsive disorder and hyperactivity in children and animals. It is especially effective for children’s recurring nightmares and fears of the dark.

Placed under the pillow it protects against insomnia and nightmares.

Amethyst is connected to the Temperance card in the tarot, representing balance. It is a stone dedicated to curbing overindulgence and bad habits, and is an excellent aid to quitting smoking, drinking and drug use, as well as unhealthy physical passion. As a luck and prosperity crystal, Amethyst is good for reducing the tendency to overspend, gambling addictions or unwise investments.

It also provides the strength needed

to obtain freedom from addictive personalities, one’s own or another’s.

Placing an Amethyst on the navel is believed to protect a person from intoxication, and in conjunction with other treatments such as counseling, it helps cure addictions. A naval piercing makes it possible to always keep an Amethyst in this spot. Amethyst is an excellent stone for meditation since it vibrates at a frequency that aligns itself with the higher chakras. Placing this stone on an altar, or wearing this stone, enhances contemplative and devotional practices.

rifolium pretense, or Red Clover, is a member of the legume family and a cousin to the sweet pea.

sesame SOBA NOODLES Submitted by Shannon Vigil, Holistic Health Coach

This recipe is a healthier way to eat something we all love...noodles! It combines soba noodles, kale, and mushrooms with an Asian-inspired dressing. It has nutrients galore, it’s gluten free, and it’s outrageously delicious and simple to make.

Note: Soba noodles are made from buckwheat, which is not related to wheat at all. So they’re gluten free!

Buckwheat is high in protein, fiber and contains all of the essential amino acids your body needs. Watch your labels, though. Some brands are made with a combination of buckwheat AND wheat flour. Look for 100% Buckwheat on the label to get the most nutrients and to keep the recipe gluten free. Eat them cold, warm, in a salad or in a broth. Versatile, yummy and guilt-free!

THE RECIPE (gluten free + dairy free + vegetarian) Prep Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 20 minutes Serves 2 people as a main, 3-4 as a side INGREDIENTS

USE ORGANIC WHENEVER POSSIBLE

DRESSING • 2 tablespoons lime juice • 2 tablespoons tamari (gluten free soy sauce) • 1 tablespoon sesame oil • 1 tablespoon raw organic honey • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger • 1 clove of garlic, minced or grated

• 6 ounces soba noodles • 1 bunch of kale, washed and sliced into thin strips • 1 small package of baby bella mushrooms, roughly chopped (or your favorite kind) • 1 clove of garlic, minced • 1 tablespoon olive oil • 3 green onions, trimmed & thinly sliced • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (optional)

BEET CARPACCIO With Guacamole Quenelle

A

Submitted By Marie-Claire Hermans Ravishing Raw

Visit www.HBmag.com

t the beginning of eating raw plant based foods, many wonder how to indulge vegetables that don’t seem so easy to eat in their purest form because of their hardness or texture. Cauliflower, kale, broccoli or beets somehow lose their attraction at the thought of eating them uncooked. But actually, when you know how to soften them and use them in a creative way, they will turn into your favorites. It’s all in the mind… and the technique.

I Did a Run at Tahoe Donner

Breema offers a unique approach to body-mind connection. It is based on a profound understanding of the underlying unity of all life and expressed in a dynamic philosophy that becomes experiential through the Nine Principles of Harmony. We will explore the Art of Being Present through learning and practicing Breema bodywork, Self-Breema exercises, and the Breema Touch. Join us on Friday, March 13 for the Experiential Open House, free of charge! Starts at 7 pm.

Workshop on 14 & 15. Reno Buddhist Center.
