EVERYDAY BRAIN FITNESS & Bioflex Laser with Julie Carda Everyday Brain Fitness & Bioflex Laser has services that combine cognitive fitness, fall prevention and relief from chronic pain to improve aging bodies.

Therapy may include a Tai Chi class, a private brain fitness session and Laser Therapy to relieve chronic inflammation pain.

Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) uses monochromatic light emission from a low intensity laser diode (250 millliwatts) or high intensity Super Luminous Diodes (providing 1000-2000 milliwatts) to treat musculoskeletal injuries, chronic, degenerative conditions and to heal wounds.

A Light source is placed in contact with the skin allowing photon energy to penetrate tissue, where it interacts with various intracellular biomolecules resulting in restoration of normal cell function and enhancement of the body’s healing processes. LILT is called cold laser as no heat is generated. Effects of LILT include increased ATP production and DNA production.

LILT stimulates angiogenesis, immune response and lymphatic drainage is improved. 5-20 sessions of 30-60 minutes duration gives best results. Clients seek LILT for arthritis inflammation, carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff tear, fibromyalgia, TMJ, ligament / tendon tears, bulging, herniated discs, tendonitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, bone spurs, shingles, lymphedema, sinusitis, gout, headaches, concussion and wound healing.

Julie Carda holds a Master’s Degree from St. John’s University in Collegeville, MN and a Geriatric Wellness Instructor certification from Western Oregon University Northwest Rehabilitation Associates.

Pregnancy & the Microbiome Hannah Renzi, Certified Nurse Midwife

Pregnancy motivates women to evaluate their lifestyles and make healthy choices. Most expecting women looking to improve their health, begin with their diet. Healthy food is medicine. Growing attention is placed on fermented foods as part of a healthy diet. Cultures around the world have been fermenting foods for thousands of years.

system reacting to her placenta with serious implications. A study from Netherlands found first time mothers who consumed fermented milk products had 20-30% decreased risks of preeclampsia (Brantsaeter). I encourage sour fermented friends: yogurt, kefir, kimchi, and sauerkraut. A variety of options are found at your grocery stores or make your own.

The first probiotics humans ingested were from bacteriarich foods like yogurt, kefir, kimchi, and sauerkraut. Bacteria help keep our intestinal tract healthy and support resident bacteria already living there. This community of bacteria is called the microbiome. Our microbiome assists with the breakdown of food and health of our immune system. Initially we inherit bacteria that make up our microbiome from birth. There are many ways to boost the health of the microbiome:

Excellent recipe sources are Sandor Ellix Katz’s The Art of Fermentation, blogs, and online. Research supports choosing food as best source of probiotics so visit a local farm, join a CSA, buy local, buy organic, plant a garden (get your hands in the dirt and walk barefoot). Cook at home. Eat slowly with people you love. Create peace in your belly, in your home, and in your world one meal at a time. Nourish yourself in order to nourish those powerful bacteria we call our microbiome.

Food as Medicine Approach to Skincare

By Dr. Kathlyn Quatrochi N.D. Food + Wisdom = Beauty Are skincare products making you sick, tired, depressed or fat? Beauty products may contain ingredients that compromise your immune, neurological systems and disrupt your hormones.

Dr. Quatrochi has been in skincare for 45 years, studying and practicing natural approaches for skincare. She’s revealed how nature provides most effective compounds for restoring youthful epidermal function, by simply using FOOD WE EAT to create products!

“Nature holds the secrets of youth.”

Every ingredient in her naturopathic formulas is an edible food. Her labels read like a grocery list: fruits, herbs, seeds and flowers. Some use alphahydroxy acid for skin peels, Dr. Kathlyn chooses natural AHA in grapefruit to refine wrinkles and balance skin.

Natural looking products seem safe but they may contain sodium borate, tocopherols, sodium laureth sulfate, methylisothiazolinone, fragrances, alcohols, and toxic substances hidden by essential oils or botanical extracts to sell wholesome claims.

Vitamin E conditions skin, but instead of chemical tocopherols, she uses Avocado Oil, naturally rich in Vitamins A and E. Results are remarkable. Nature holds the secrets of youth. Nature’s Perfect Wisdom skincare provides benefits without harmful chemicals breaking new ground in holistic skincare.

CENTRAL OREGON DD Ranch Story

by Linda Anspach We moved to Central Oregon Fall 2005.

Our boys were 4 and 20 months when we stumbled into DD Ranch Pumpkin patch. I fell in love with it. Later, I began doing bookkeeping for Mike. It was apparent their ranch had struggled financially, headed towards foreclosure. It would’ve been tragic to lose this ranch as a source of great food plus so many ranch experiences for our community. We decided to pursue my dream of ranching, offering Mike and Diann a way to continue in the ranch’s future with an agreement to buy the ranch, start a partnership, DD Ranch LLC, and for the Duggans to stay on at the ranch.

Today, our CSA has many box types and schedules to choose from with pickups at the ranch and Central Oregon Locavore in Bend. DD Ranch products are at Devore’s Good Food Store, Primal Cuts, C.E. Lovejoys, Agricultural Connections, and Melvin’s. You’ll find our products in these restaurants: The Capitol, Broken Top Bottle Shop, EMW Fusion Food Cart, Blackened Dragon Food Cart, and The Root Cellar.

Fields Farm Fields Farm has grown and flourished since it sprouted up in 1989 on Pettigrew road. This year they will double Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares and add 3 employees. Jim Fields, Godfather of Central Oregon Farming, was a

founding member of Bend’s Farmers Market, Central Oregon Locavore, and the first farmer to sell CSAs in Central Oregon.

Community Supported Agriculture is a model of agriculture that deeply connects farmers and customers, providing a mutually beneficial arrangement between farmers and community. In exchange for financial support from shareholders/ members, the farmer commits to provide healthy, locally grown food throughout a growing season.

Typical CSA from Fields Farm includes a variety of greens in May and root veggies. Summer brings tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, the season ends with a big bag for Thanksgiving and storage vegetables such as winter squash & potatoes. Fields specializes in alliums, garlic, onions, and leeks.

CSA members get to eat over 40 different vegetables in 27 weeks! Jim Fields believes in the power of community and importance of passing information on to the next generation of farmers. This is an example of Sustainable farming at its finest!

Visit Fields Farm at the NWX Saturday and Downtown Wednesday Farmers Markets.

Garry’s Meadow Fresh All Jersey Milk @ Lady Lane Farms

Ladylane Farm produces Garry’s Meadow Milk. A third generation dairy farmer, Garry Hansen worked hard for decades to make his lifelong dream a reality. Steeped in nostalgia and tradition, he always envisioned himself as a dairy farmer and milkman, providing families high quality milk in old fashioned glass bottles from cows he loves. His dream includes sustainability.

Wine Down Ranch

Nestled in Willamette Valley, Garry and his 90 milk cows are home on the Farm, for 25 years as he grew up there, Garry and siblings learned from their parents how to care for, milk cows, tend to calves, grow and harvest feed for the herd. Ladies of Ladylane Farm are well cared for, appreciated, healthy and fit to produce high quality milk, crowned “Queens of Quality” by the dairy industry because of supreme milk with 16% more calcium, 13% more protein, more nutrients results in richer tasting, creamier products.

Wine Down Ranch is a mom and pop operation, 2100 acre cattle ranch in the Ochocos. They raise Black Angus for beef, log timber, sell firewood and run an Airbnb bunkhouse. Their beef is sold wholesale,

Susan was disenchanted working as a Nurse where she had to prescribe meds to treat symptoms, less time educating her patients in ways to treat the problem rather than symptoms. Now she focuses her passion for health, wellness and disease prevention through Edible Farmacy, including a CSA, educating the public about GMO’s, and food as medicine.

Windy Acres Farm

Edible Farmacy

Soon friends and neighbors began asking for our poultry, with that we were in the chicken business! In 2017, we will raise 4,000 chickens for meat, 40 pasture raised turkeys, and sell over 15,000 eggs.

Our poultry and eggs are available directly from the Ranch (weekly delivery available), and at Locavore in Bend. You can find Angel’s Rest Ranch on Facebook.

Let Food be thy Medicine — Edible Farmacy established in 2005 with an understanding that wholesome “slow food” is a foundation of a healthy body and mind.

Edible Farmacy raises organic, sustainably grown vegetables, pasture raised, grass fed beef, lamb, and eggs. Edible Pharmacy raises more than enough, so the bounty can be donated to organizations to feed homeless.

Edible Farmacy was started by Susan Hart, a Nurse Practitioner who grew up on a ranch in Wyoming, eating home grown vegetables, pasture raised meats, fresh

Radicle Roots Farm RADICLE: first structure to emerge from a seed upon germination which develops into a primary root. Cultivating less than an acre of land, they use truly organic practices to grow vibrant, nutritious produce.

They do not use a tractor, instead favor a walking rotary tiller and hand tools to work their beds.

Windy Acres Dairy Farm was born of a husband’s dream and Billie Johnson’s passion. It began in 1994 as a small hobby farm in Prineville and evolved into a fully operational dairy farm.

They currently raise turkeys, pigs, lamb, cows and chickens. Like so many farms we’ve featured this issue, they rely on herd shares to thrive financially. Herd share members can receive grass fed beef, butter, beef bones for broth, stew hens, lamb, pork, raw milk and eggs.

Seasonally they have blueberries and honey, too. You can purchase their fine products at Locavore. Look for their Farm to Table Events in our Calendar. For more info Windyacresdairy.com

CLEAR HOME CLEAR HEART Jean Haner’s new book, Clear Home, Clear Heart takes Magic of Tidying up to a more profound, energetic level.

life purpose and our deepest desire, to be seen.

What can this book teach you how to do?

Sure you can have all your shirts stacked and color coordinated in your drawers, but what about that negative vibe hanging over your dresser from a quarrel with your husband? How does one tidy that up? Jean Haner knows & she can teach you in this hands on healing book.

She gives step by step instructions to release old, stuck energies that may be draining you and how to transform your reactions to negativity or stress as it comes in. I love her self-inquiry process using a pendulum to tune into energy of a space, person or self, to allow this energy to clear, not necessarily to “do” or “fix” anything or anyone, but to surrender to a process of clearing with trust and nonattachment.



Clear your energy and bring balance to your life



Transform challenges of being an empath



Let go of stress or old pain from past experiences



Discover new ways to have clutter finally disappear!



Make space for love and abundance in your life

Space Clearing with Feng Shui Feng Shui is an ancient practice to maximize energetic flows within a physical space. Summer is an Auspicious time for Space Clearing.

properly cleared, we increase its energy vibration by bringing higher frequencies in. Recommendations for further Feng Shui transformations are made according to a space’s unique 9 Star Ki, Bagua & occupant’s desires. It may include bringing in energizers like healthy plants, flowers, color changes, object placement, decluttering or moving furniture. Space Clearing makes a great housewarming gift!

Space clearing revitalizes energies in a home, office, building or farm. It's an effective ceremony for clearing stagnant energies, stuck patterns, maleficent forces, sickness, negativity or old astral debris from your home. Each space clearing is uniquely tailored in purpose based on type of property, its occupants and their goals, it can be a profoundly life-changing experience.

SMUDGING STUDY: According to Journal of Ethnopharmacology, a scientific study validated ancient knowledge about positive effects of smudging to clear airborne bacteria, viruses and pathogens from a space. Researchers observed medicinal smoke from burning holy wood, Palo Santo and Sage caused 94% reduction of bacterial and viral counts.

Before Space Clearing: Do not try to clean or organize your space, leave it exactly how it usually is. Your piles of clutter or mess, tells a story about what areas in the Bagua may need clearing out & energizing.

During Space Clearing: First, we find a focus for the Space Clearing ceremony, such as improving health, promoting prosperity, finding love, losing weight, increasing business or selling your property. Then we study the Bagua of the home together to learn its unique elements. Next, Tibetan bells, bowls and pendulums may be used to test energy patterns, reading energies embedded in walls, furniture, objects to sense any disturbances revealed to us, this is an amazing process!

Smudge smoke purified and disinfected the air, making an environment cleaner causing a complete absence of pathogenic bacteria within a confined space for 48 hours and significantly reduced bacteria and pathogens for a full 30 days.

Several tools are employed to clear a space such as smudging with Sage and Palo Santo, Reiki, opening gates of 4 directions, salt blue flames, singing bowls, salt water purification, pendulums, Aromatherapy spritzers or more advanced Space Clearing modalities. Once a space has been

Spontaneous Healing

By Terie Sandusky

w/CBDs

to a month to get over it, but all my symptoms were gone after one night of CBD induced sleep. I felt great, completely reborn, better than ever. I am a believer! I’m also a migraine sufferer, I’ve since used this tincture during migraine and it relieved the pain. Unlike THC, CBD’s do not get you “high”, it’s more of a body relaxant, pain reliever than a party.

Let me start by saying, I haven't smoked pot since college.

I'm a straight edge mom, no more than occasional microbrew for me. Then, I caught this wicked flu going around this Winter, worst sickness I’ve had in years. Body aches, horrific headache, fever, hot & cold at the same time but the worst part was I could not sleep, even after taking a sleeping aid, didn't sleep a wink, felt awful all night long.

My results convinced me, CBD’s are powerful medicine! I spoke to Aviv Hadar of Oregrown about CBD’s. He is an inspirational business leader. He said he is humbled by the support of the Bend community for Oregrown. He equally supports Bend back by sponsoring our Athletes, check it out at Oregrown.com

Next day, in a moment of sickness and desperation, I asked my husband to go to Oregrown to find a CBD product to induce sleep. A client told me she takes CBDs for pain relief and to sleep.

The staff were so friendly & informative on my husband’s first experience in a pot shop.

CBD: Gateway to Health and Healing

by Aviv Hadar, Co-founder of Oregrown Most people have heard of THC, Tetrahydrocannabinol, a naturally occurring chemical compound in cannabis associated with feeling “high,” scientists have identified more than 80 other cannabinoids that play a beneficial role in health. Best known of these is Cannabidiol, or CBD. Scientists learn more everyday about this powerful healing compound that has no psychoactive effect. Studies using animal models show CBD has anti-inflammatory properties and can inhibit the growth of some kinds of tumors. Research suggests CBDs may be helpful in treatment of depression.

“Thirty minutes later I was finally out, deep asleep, having a magnificent dream that I was an Eagle soaring over Smith Rock, felt like I slept forever.”

He came home with Hypnos tincture (SunGod), included CBD’s, Lemon Balm and hops designed to promote sleep.

One dropper full under my tongue, it tasted sweet, herbal and soothing. Thirty minutes later I was finally out, deep asleep, having a magnificent dream that I was an Eagle soaring over Smith Rock, felt like I slept forever.

This is not news to people who use CBD regularly for a variety of health problems. People who swear by CBD say it helps them avoid addictive painkillers and unwanted side effects of over-the-counter and prescription drugs. CBD in topical creams, lotions or transdermal patches such as formulated by Mary’s Medicinals, can provide relief from pain associated with injuries, sprains, strains, as well as neuropathy and chronic pain from rheumatoid arthritis. CBD helps with anxiety and sleeplessness.

The true miracle came when I awoke the next morning, my flu illness was GONE! Completely Gone! I've known several people who had this bug going around & said it took weeks

I’ve observed CBD reduces or eliminates noncancerous fatty lipomas older dogs are prone to and provides relief from arthritis and muscle injuries. If you’re interested in learning more about CBD, visit Oregrown’s flagship store at 1199 Wall Street in downtown Bend. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff will help you find exactly what you need.

Total Eclipse On August 21 at 10:04AM (PT), a total solar eclipse will move across US, west to east, visible in Central Oregon. Day shifts to night, stars glow in a sudden darkening of sky.

the load for something better coming, for instance if you lose your job, it might be that you will align with an even better job to come (same goes for relationships, homes, etc.) .

Ancients marveled at this miracle of the Sun being swallowed by the heavens, a supernatural mystery. Eclipses are harbingers of potent change to come. An Eclipse happening directly over a region is considered to have special meaning for that area.

Eclipses can be used symbolically to clear and cleanse stagnant areas of your own life, time for decluttering, tidying up, space clearing and a smudging ceremony. Eclipses can take us out of our regular patterns, so use this time to shift any bad habits.

This powerful time can open you up to unknown realms, mystical dreams, new paths to take and promote positive growth as changes will be for the better. Remember to get your Eclipse glasses & Look UP!

“There may be a fall of a leader of great nations with this aspect. This Eclipse is happening with Sun and Moon at 28 degrees in Leo.�

This Eclipse has liberation and change in power written all over it (would be an auspicious time for Cascadia to liberate) Venus, Mars, Mercury & Regulus Star will all be near & visible during the Eclipse, so look for them but only with special Eclipse Sunglasses on.

In Ayurvedic Astrology, this eclipse occurs near fixed star Regulus, brightest of ancient stars of Persia, known as little King. There may be a fall of a leader of great nations with this aspect. This Eclipse is happening with Sun and Moon at 28 degrees in Leo. Trump having a Leo Ascendant, this Eclipse in Leo could mark trouble for him, change in position, health issues, lawsuits, or possibly even impeachment.

Leo & Regulus aspect relates to Royalty, so Britain may face big changes in their Royal, political world, troubles with Breitbart or the Queen? This Eclipse will effect Leos & Pisces most, focusing on their shadow side, lighting up areas that have been avoided, but now must be looked at & dealt with.

There may be a loss but it may be a way of lightening 17

BHG Featured Physician

Annemieke Austin, MD Q: When did you move to Bend & what brought you here?

would truly hear what I was trying to communicate.

A: September 2016. When I first immigrated to the US (from the Netherlands) we used to come to Bend for vacation. My sister moved here. My husband and I visited and decided to move here for the quality of life - smaller town, friendly people, less traffic and most importantly the nature/outdoor activities.

Q: What is your favorite way to stay fit and healthy?

Q: How would you best describe your Medical practice?

A: My diet is mostly nutrient dense, non-processed, organic foods. I love to stay active, I’ve found interval training and yoga are a great combination. I do a mix of outdoor activities like biking, swimming, skiing. I've learned over exercising is as bad as underexercising so I try to stay balanced and listen to my body.

A: I practice evidence based integrative/functional medicine along with conventional medicine. My goal is to get to the root cause of illness by looking at all systems of the body, to treat with the least toxic, most effective modality. These modalities may include herbs, nutritional supplements, lifestyle, environmental changes or prescriptions. I have a special interest and training in dermatology, hormone replacement therapy, women's health and gastrointestinal disorders.

Q: What is your favorite local food?

A: Kababa and Wild Rose Thai

My background brings a wide range of training from one of the top full-spectrum family medicine residencies (UCSF/ Sutter) and a dermatology fellowship (in clinical research, patient care treating severe psoriasis, eczema, phototherapy-responsive disorders) and extensive training in integrative medicine through conferences over past 12 years.

toxic, most effective modality.

A: Besides wanting to help people suffering as I did, I am fascinated by science. As a child I dealt with significant health issues. My journey to science and medicine occurred as I looked for ways to improve my own health. As a teenager, I stumbled upon the book "Mental and Elemental Nutrients" by Carl Pfieffer, it opened an entirely new world, how nutrition can affect brain function and it set me on a path to becoming a physician.

Q: We’ve heard from your patients that you are a wonderful "Listener", what role does listening play in treating your patients?

High Lakes Health Care Bend Shevlin Park 2175 NW Shevlin Park Road Bend, OR 97701

A: Most diagnoses in medicine can be made by listening to the patient’s story. I take my patients concerns very seriously, the first step is hearing what they are saying. My own health challenges in life have provided a level of empathy. I can remember feeling ill and hoping a physician

WATCH THIS:

SUSTAINABLE DOCUMENTARY Sustainable shows economic and environmental instability of America’s food system, from agricultural issues we face — soil loss, water depletion, climate change, pesticide use — to a community of leaders who are determined to fix it.

Sustainable is a film about the land, the people who work it and how to sustain it for future generations. Marty Travis, a seventh-generation farmer, watched his land and community fall victim to pressures of big agribusiness.

Marty transforms his profitless wasteland and pioneers an Organic, sustainable food movement. Sustainable features forward thinking farmers like Bill Niman, Klaas Martens and John Kempf. It’s a story of hope and transformation, about passion for the land and a promise that it can be restored to once again sustain us.

Local Author

Boundaries & Protection The book also contains a section on Language Prompts for learning to communicate in a clear, self-advocating manner while honoring the feelings of others.

Boundaries & Protection is the third book by Redmond author, Pixie Lighthorse.

In this book the author describes in small, digestible bites what it looks like to create a working boundaries practice grounded in clean relationships with sacredness in mind. The importance of having a boundaries practice is to enjoy intimacy at a deeper level and protect valuable energy by choosing relationships that are fair and equitable.

Based on her best-selling ecourse, Boundaries Boot Camp, Boundaries & Protection helps the reader change how relationships are conducted and energy is preserved for pursuits other than conflict avoidance and the stress of irreconcilable differences.

Look for copies online and in stores after June 16.
