I

’m writing this publisher’s letter for the October issue with an extra pep in my step. The day after the file uploads to the printer, I’ll be heading to attend Bhakti Fest for the first time. This amazing six-day festival, being held in Twentynine Palms, celebrates the devotional paths of yoga, kirtan and meditation. I will be posting stories on our social media platforms as I continue to take the plunge into our complicated and necessary digital world. Not a bad way to learn. It will be a lot more fun and hands on to move away from my computer and immerse myself into the festival.

I love, love, love attending my community partners’ events. My trip a few years back to Rythmia in Costa Rica with my editor, Erin, changed my life forever. I’ve made it known that I’m an advocate for plant medicine as long as you know your source and you are well informed and consulted. It’s not like you can microdose alcohol. Or is that doing a shot? Alcoholism destroys families and lives every second. Plant medicine can mend that destruction, and yet we deny it. I say instead of picking up a drink, pick up a book or go online and educate yourself.

Thankfully, the stigma for plant medicine is swiftly vanishing as it gains momentum in helping with all kinds of mental and physical illnesses. Most of us have an ailment of some kind. I recently attended a free substance abuse educational film titled The First Day that we featured in our September issue. It was extremely powerful and needs to be shown in all our schools.

It boggles my mind why we must fight so hard to get the truth out there. I remember when yoga had a hard time getting approved in the school district. Yoga is a healthy way to tune in to your mind, body and spirit; it’s not a religious cult. The above-mentioned film depicted an authentic view on the preventive side to substance abuse. There was an interesting interaction after the film with the young substance abuse counselors' panel on stage and the audience. The statistics on substance abuse are staggering in the U.S. and our youth. We need to ask ourselves why this is happening, and better yet, how we can prevent it. Denial is such a factor. Easier to close our eyes than open them.

It starts in our homes: you can be poor or affluent. It doesn’t matter what your race, gender and/or your economic status is. Substance abuse is an inside job.

Last night, I saw the movie The Hustlers (based on a true story). I loved the ending line by Jennifer Lopez. “It’s all a strip club; you have people tossing the money and people doing the dance.” My other favorite quote was the line “hurt hurts hurt.” It explains our world.

The book briefs and film highlights in this month’s issue are strong and influential. I’m especially excited about Dr. Judith Orloff ’s newest book, Thriving as an Empath. Her previous book, The Empath Survival Guide has become my Bible in many ways. It explains why empaths feel and behave the way they do, and how to use that behavior in positive ways. While being an empath is actually a great blessing, oftentimes, it can feel more like a curse. It’s all about our own personal perception, growth and how we choose to manage our selves. Knowing ourselves and being protective of our personal energy and boundaries can help us share our gifts with the world in a way that is empowering.

Shine on this month!

Celebrate Dr. Orloff’s Exciting Book Launch for Thriving as an Empath

I

n her new book Thriving as an Empath: 365 Days of Self-Care for Sensitive People, New York Times bestselling author Judith Orloff, M.D., brings readers a year’s worth of bite-sized offerings of inspiration, guidance and self-care strategies to help them flourish while learning to stop absorbing other people’s stress.

“Sensitive, empathic people have a gift they can embrace.

They have so much to offer as healers, creatives, friends, lovers and innovators at work. Yet they often give too much at the expense of their own well-being—and end up absorbing the stress of others. To stay healthy and happy,” shares Orloff, “you must be ready with daily self-care practices that work.”

Readers will learn to: • break the momentum of overwhelm and sensory overload • heal codependency patterns and the impulse to ‘overhelp’ • live a more open-hearted life without experiencing compassion fatigue burnout • utilize protection and self-soothing techniques • heal past trauma and PTSD • set healthy boundaries • tap ancient secrets such as drawing on the energy of each season, the four elements, sacred time, and much more.

Orloff has also released The Empath’s Empowerment Journal, a companion to Thriving as an Empath. “With this journal as a guide, your day-to-day experience of selfcare and growth can be flowing, energizing and intuitive,” she says.

In addition, for a limited time, special bonus gifts will be included with each purchase of the book and journal online at DrJudithOrloff.com/thriving-as-an-empath-promo.

There will also be an opportunity to win a ticket to Dr. Orloff ’s Self-Care Retreat for Sensitive People.

Avoid Pesticides to Lower Feed Your Skin with Kids’ Risk of Depression Another reason to consider Nature’s Repair organics: A study of 529

For more information, see ad on page 9, Community Resource Guide listing on page 27 or visit NaturesRepair.org.

Boot the Bottle for Mental Well-Being A study of 10,386 people in Hong Kong and the United States compared mental well-being among moderate drinkers and nondrinkers, with multiple-year, follow-up periods. Men and women that were lifetime abstainers had the highest levels of mental well-being, surpassed only by women that had quit drinking.

teens and preteens linked high exposure to pesticides to a higher risk of depression.

University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers studied children between 11 and 17 years old in the Ecuadorian Andes, the thirdlargest exporter of roses. The flowers are routinely sprayed with organophosphate insecticides known to affect the human cholinergic system, a key component in the function of the brain and nervous system. Drawing blood samples, the researchers found that teens that had lower levels of acetylcholinesterase enzyme activity resulting from pesticide toxicity showed more symptoms of depression, especially in girls and those younger than 14. The findings back up anecdotal reports from Andeans of a rise in teen depression and suicide.

Consider Motherwort to Reduce Postpartum Bleeding A meta-review of 37 studies that included 7,887 mothers giving birth found that an injection of oriental motherwort (Leonurus japonicus), a Traditional Chinese Medicine herb used for thousands of years, decreased blood loss and other adverse events during birth at a minimal cost with few side effects.

Since 2014, Nature’s Repair has created organic skin care products for healing and health using natural superfood ingredients that are free of toxins and chemicals.

“I discovered that the greatest health complications my loved ones faced were directly related to the foods we eat, lifestyle and the effects that certain chemicals and toxins can have on the body and mind,” says Summer Rouillard, founder of Nature’s Repair.

With a mission to foster a toxin free world, Rouillard put in five years of extensive research to develop the Nature’s Repair skin care products using food-grade, non-GMO and intentionally sourced products such as beeswax and cocoa butter. Every ingredient is mechanically pressed or extracted at low temperatures to maintain and protect the vital nutrients and to maintain the purity of the ingredient.

The products include daily maintenance skin care, healing skin repair creams, products that protect skin from the elements, makeup remover and luxury products for feet, body or lips and can be purchased online. Additional products, such as hair care, are in development.

How to Keep Positive in an Unsettled World

“N

ever before has life demanded so much from us,” asserts Carolyn Gross, author of Rise Above the Chaos: How to Keep Positive in an Unsettled World. “We are called upon to be ever more productive multi-taskers and multi-role players in a 365-day, 24/7-work world. How are you holding up?”

Gross, the founder of Creative Life Solutions, is an award-winning speaker, author and patient advocate who has appeared on numerous media outlets including NBC, ABC and Lifetime TV. Her latest book offers life exploration methods to determine how stress affects our health; the categories of chaos that impact our lives; how to thrive in challenging times with emotional support; and tactics to harness our power for greater personal growth and transformation.

She affirms that when we are bombarded with constant activity, we eventually become worn out and ineffective.

“People need a place for self-evaluation so they can restore, relax and renew themselves,” affirms this passionate health advocate. In Rise Above the Chaos, she offers tools to help readers identify internal versus external chaos, so they can use their energy to be proactive rather than

Carolyn Gross is trailblazing a new crusade entitled Rise Above the Chaos, which kicks off at the 6th Annual Enrich Your Life Event she is co-producing with Mary Tighe, one of the event coordinators from Healthy Living Expos.

The expo is being held Saturday, October 12, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For tickets and for more information, call 760-741-2762 or visit CreativeLifeSolutions.com/ health-wellness.

reactive. “Chaos is ‘the great teacher’ and those who can rise above the chaos make better decisions, get promoted, and have more success with people.”

Gross explains what while we cannot control 100 percent of the events that happen in our lives, we can control the way we respond to them. “The way to give yourself permission to make changes is to value your health and your heart enough to make lifestyle adjustments before stress evolves into serious illness.”

According to Gross, 250,000 million surveyed say stress is their number one problem. “It’s really a ‘self-management issue’ and I’m very committed to extending hope for the future, teaching ‘efficacy’—how to build it, why it’s important.

So many situations can be course-corrected if people will slow down, do some selfcare, and consistently create restorative environments. How you spend your time is how you live your life,” she says.

Panther Power

Texas Pumas Counter Inbreeding

The endangered Florida panther has been saved from extinction thanks to the introduction of female Texan pumas, reports a 10-year study conducted by the University of Florida and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The pumas, which like the panthers, are a sub-species of cougar, were brought to Florida in 1995 to counter the effects of habitat loss and health issues caused by panther inbreeding, including heart defects, infertility and other genetic problems.

The panther population has since rebounded from a low of 20 to 30 cats to between 120 and 230.

Extraterrestrial Matter Found on Earth

The Makhonjwa Mountains of South Africa harbor some of the planet’s oldest rocks, including meteorites that have been striking the Earth for eons. According to the peerreviewed journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, researchers using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy have discovered a 3.3 billion-year-old layer of rock that contains two types of insoluble organic matter, both of which suggest extraterrestrial origins, making it the oldest extraterrestrial organic matter ever identified. Many scientists think the basic molecules of life may have originated in outer space.

Humanitarian Plea

Environmental Destruction Tapped as War Crime

Twenty-four scientists from around the world published a letter entitled, “Stop Military Conflicts From Trashing Environment,” in the journal Nature, urging the United Nations International Law Commission to create protections for the environment in armed conflicts. It reads, “We call on governments to incorporate explicit safeguards for biodiversity, and to use the commission’s recommendations to finally deliver a Fifth Geneva Convention to uphold environmental protection during such confrontations.” The four existing Geneva Conventions and their three additional protocols are globally recognized treaties that establish standards under international humanitarian law for the treatment of wounded military personnel, shipwrecked sailors, prisoners of war and civilians during armed conflicts. Violating the treaties amounts to a war crime.

Scientists warn that the Arctic is heating up much faster than the world average because of rising greenhouse gas emissions. Over the last five years, the region has been warmer than at any time since record keeping began in 1900, which is opening up untapped reserves of oil, gas, uranium, gold, fish and rare earth minerals. At a May meeting of the Arctic Council, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Russia and China against “aggressive” actions in the region, saying, “This is America’s moment to stand up as an Arctic nation.”

Gao Feng, the head of the Chinese delegation to the council, whose mission is to foster cooperation among Arctic countries and protect the fragile environment, says, “It’s [the U.S.] a country that stepped out of the Paris Agreement and then they’re talking about protecting the environment of the Arctic.”

Runoff Results

Askwsar Hilonga, Ph.D., a chemical engineer and public health scientist in Tanzania, grew up dealing with waterborne diseases such as cholera that made him ill. According to the World Health Organization, he has used his scientific expertise and local knowledge to develop a purification system based on nanomaterials. While the filter is still under study, stations have been set up throughout Tanzania, mostly managed by women, to help those that otherwise would not have safe drinking water.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimates the algae-choked “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico near the mouth of the Mississippi River spanned 7,829 square miles this summer, roughly the size of Massachusetts and considerably above the 6,000-square-mile five-year average. The largest recorded Gulf dead zone to date was 8,776 square miles in 2017. Dead zones occur when algae sinks and decomposes, sucking oxygen from the water and making it impossible for marine life to exist, jeopardizing billions of dollars generated by commercial fishing in the area. The phenomenon is primarily attributed to chemical fertilizer runoff from Midwestern farms into the Mississippi, exacerbated by warming trends.

Unexpected Aquatic Rebound

Overfished and struggling widow rockfish are returning to the Pacific coast. Legal protections since 2001 had made it illegal to take the fish commercially, and fisheries managers implemented “catch share” regulations as the fishing fleet dwindled from 400 to 50 trawlers. But the fish have made a faster comeback than expected.

National Marine Fisheries Service biologist Jason Cope notes that scientists were surprised by how quickly some rockfish species can reproduce. “We thought it might take a century or so for them to rebuild themselves; it’s now taking maybe a decade.”

Superfund Success Story Toxic Site Now Welcomes Walkers

A wood-treating process for telephone poles that caused soil and groundwater contamination prompted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to designate 47 acres in Bellingham, Washington, as a Superfund site in 1997. The cleanup, including removal of 28,000 tons of contaminated soil to a repository, reestablishment of a natural stream and restoring wetlands, is now complete, with walking and bicycling paths, newly planted native trees and wetland shrubs, and returning birdlife. The Oeser Company, which cooperated with the cleanup, has operated at the site since 1943 and continues to do so.

Climate Crisis May Promote Superbugs

A new analysis links climate change to the recent global rise of a multidrug-resistant fungal superbug, Candida auris. A decade after it was discovered in 2009, the superbug has popped up in many genetically distinct strains in more than 30 countries on three continents. Mystified, scientists say that fungal diseases are relatively uncommon in humans because of body temperature, but if they adapt to rising temperatures and aren’t easily treatable with medications, they could increasingly endanger human health on a global scale. “Global warming may lead to new fungal diseases that we don’t even know about right now,” warns Arturo Casadevall, lead author of the study published in mBio and chair of molecular microbiology and immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Body, Mind, Teeth

Mouth Matters A Holistic Approach to Oral Health T

by Ronica O’Hara

“

he mouth is the doorway to the body,” so the saying goes, and today we know just how true that is. Years ago, the biannual trip to the dentist was typically a simple “drill-andfill” operation, with other health concerns not given a second glance. Now, emerging research shows that when we neglect basic oral care—even that annoying task of nightly or post-meal flossing—we endanger our heart, lungs, kidneys and even our

brains by allowing the buildup of pernicious bacteria in our gums.

In April, University of Louisville School of Dentistry researchers reported that the bacteria P. gingivalis, which flourishes in gum disease, was found in brain samples of deceased Alzheimer’s patients—and that inflammation, swelling and bleeding in gums can transport the bacteria from the mouth into the bloodstream simply through chewing or

It’s part of the reason for the fresh interest in holistic dentistry, sometimes called biologic dentistry. “We look at the entire body, not just the mouth,” says Bernice Teplitsky, DDS, of Wrigleyville Dental, in Chicago, and president of the Holistic Dental Association (HDA), based in Coral Gables, Florida. Holistic dentists abstain from toxic materials, remove amalgam fillings, may be wary of root canals and focus on minimally invasive procedures—some of which may be high-tech and cuttingedge, such as lasers to clean teeth and gums, ozone therapy to slow the growth of infections and air abrasion to “sandblast” away small areas of tooth decay.

Holistic dentists work closely with a wide range of other complementary practitioners. “We look at the underlying causes for gum disease and cavities: Is it your diet, or hormonal changes or acid

teeth-brushing. The study also linked the bacteria to rheumatoid arthritis and aspiration pneumonia.

Advanced gum disease also increases the risk of cancer by 24 percent, especially lung and colorectal cancers; quadruples the rate of kidney disease; and increases the risk of strokes, coronary artery disease, diabetes and pre-term births, other studies show.

These findings have sobering implications for the nearly half of the American adults over age 30 and 70 percent of adults 65 and older with gum disease. “Science has proven that a healthy mouth is a healthy body,” says San Francisco holistic dentist Nammy Patel, author of Age With Style: Your Guide to a Youthful Smile & Healthy Living.

reflux?” Patel explains. That may mean prescribing a head massage, acupuncture session, meditation lessons or dietary counseling. They may run blood tests for biocompatibility of materials and incorporate approaches from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, herbology, homeopathy, iridology, craniosacral therapy and energy medicine. They will look for signs of sleep apnea and often treat it. However, with the added tests and consultations, they tend to be more expensive, with many procedures not covered by dental insurance. Their numbers are small: Only 391 of 199,000 American dentists belong to the HDA, or about one in 500.

Yet the natural health movement that drives holistic dentistry is having an effect on the profession at large. Many dentists nationwide, pressured by patients and aided by new technology, are abandoning toxic and invasive options for less harmful methods. Controversial mercury amalgam fillings are being edged out by less toxic options like resin composites that match teeth color; the amount of mercury sold in the U.S. for dental amalgams fell by half between 2001 and 2013.

Conventional dental X-rays, which in a Yale study published in the American Cancer Association journal Cancer were linked to non-cancerous brain tumors, are yielding to computerized digital X-rays with a fifth of the radiation: As many as two out of three dentists have switched over. And aided by computer imaging software and 3-D printers, dentists are fabricating new crowns, implants, bridges and dentures right in the office, instead of using what Austin, Texas, dentist David Frank calls “intrusive analog [gooey impressions] that left patients feeling claustrophobic, highly anxious and consistently worried about gagging.”

Dialogue With Dentists

When visiting a dentist, whether holistic or not, it’s wise to be prepared with a natural health mindset. Some questions to ask are:

What are you filling the cavity with? Just say no to amalgam, a mixture

toxic vapors. Plus, “Heavy metals can leak into the enamel tubes of the teeth causing the teeth to appear gray or dark blue and making them brittle over time,” warns Los Angeles cosmetic dentist Rhonda Kalasho.

Instead, ask for relatively nontoxic options such as porcelain or composite resins, which can be made of materials such as silica, ceramic, plastics and zirconium oxide. Some composite resins contain the endocrine disrupters Bis-GMA or BPA; for extra protection, ask for one that doesn’t, or ask the dentist to use a rubber dam to prevent swallowing it.

Should I have my amalgam fillings removed? Holistic dentists like

Patel give a strong yes. “The problem arises with mercury when you chew or brush your teeth. The abrasion creates heat and causes the mercury to off-gas. Those vapors get swallowed and go into your body, where they’re stored—and that creates significant health hazards—because we’re talking about a known poison,” she says. Other dentists disagree about removal, citing its risks: Holistic pioneer Dr. Andrew Weil, for example, writes that removing amalgam fillings is often unnecessary, costly and stressful, and recommends exchanging them for composite resin only when they break down.

Do I really need antibiotics? Or-

egon State University researchers found in a study this year of 90,000 patients that the

of the following ingredients: fluoride, sodium lauryl sulfate, triclosan and sodium hydroxide. These ingredients are a plus: baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), green tea, Eucalyptol, menthol, tea tree oil and vitamin D.

Is a root canal the best option?

Flossing: Some smooth, slippery flosses

Some holistic dentists counsel against root canals, citing the risk of long-term health problems caused by lingering bacteria, and advocate the use of herbs, laser therapy or extractions instead. “If root canals were done 20 to 30 years ago, it is definitely a problem, because there were not enough technological advances to clean out all the bacteria which could cause chronic health complications,” says Patel. “Nowadays, depending on the tooth root, canals can be 99.9 percent cleaned by lasers.”

Back to the Basics

Considering the stakes, preventive care is all-important and there are many natural options to guarantee robust oral health.

At the natural health store or drugstore, consider the following options:

Toothbrush: Electric toothbrushes re-

duced plaque 21 percent more and gingivitis 11 percent more after three months compared to manual toothbrushes, reported a review of 56 studies involving 5,068 participants. Those that rotate rather than brush back-and-forth clean slightly better.

are coated with toxic, Teflon-like perfluorinated polymers linked to kidney and testicular cancer, ulcerative colitis and hormonal disruptions. A recent study found higher levels in women using those flosses.

Instead, use the old-fashioned nylon kind or try out new flosses made of biodegradable silk or bamboo or those infused with antimicrobial tea tree oil. Or, consider a water flosser, which Canadian researchers found were 29 percent more effective at plaque removal than string floss.

Mouthwash: Mouthwashes containing alcohol significantly raise the risk of throat cancer, Australian researchers found.

Instead, opt for super-healthy green tea as a mouthwash, as well as a drink. Studies show that it protects teeth from erosion and promotes healthy gums. Another simple option is warm salt water, using one cup of water and one-half teaspoon of salt. A 2017 study by the Cochrane medical study organization found it is virtually as effective as the prescription antiseptic mouthwash chlorhexidine in reducing dental plaque and microbes.

Pulling: An ancient Ayurvedic rem-

edy, this involves swishing a spoonful of organic coconut oil around the mouth and through the teeth for 10 to 20 minutes.

The oil’s lauric acid, a natural antibacterial, has been found in studies to reduce plaque formation and fungal infections, as well as the strains of bacteria linked to bad breath and irritated gums.

Taking care of our teeth and gums is simply worth the daily time and trouble to facilitate long-term health. “Your oral care should be taken just as seriously as watching your diet,” advises Kalasho.

Slow Food Takes Root Global Movement on Fast Track

by April Thompson

T

he global Slow Food movement is fast gaining momentum, uniting more than 100,000 people in 150 countries with a shared passion for delicious food and a moral conviction about the people and places that sustain it. It satisfies foodies’ hunger for a deeper appreciation and understanding of their meals’ origins, from farm to fork.

“The key principles of Slow Food are good, clean and fair,” says Laura Luciano, a board member for Slow Food USA and Slow Food Governor for New York State.

“It’s the opposite of fast food, where you are in and out with no idea where your food comes from or the stories behind it.”

Fair, says Luciano, means fair to farmers, and paying a fair wage to workers picking and growing food. “Fair also incorporates principles of equity, inclusion and justice. Good means good for the climate, the Earth and us as individuals.

Clean means not using GMOs and pesticides in the food,” she explains.

Slow Food has its roots in Italy, where food and wine journalist Carlo Petrini took up the cause in 1986 to halt the homogenous fast food chains encroaching on the country’s rich, diverse food culture. Slow Food USA has taken off since its founding in 2000

with 150 chapters boasting 6,000 members nationwide. Many convene annually at Slow Food Nations, a food festival for all in Denver, to swap stories, share strategies, celebrate victories and of course, break bread together.

The backbone of the movement is its local chapters. “Food has a regional identity, connected to history, culture and family,” says Luciano, whose blog Out East Foodie shares the stories of her Long Island edibles.

For Bob Quinn, an organic wheat farmer in Big Sandy, Montana, and the founder of the heirloom grain company Kamut International, the Slow Food movement has been a kind of welcome homecoming and acknowledgment of his company’s efforts to protect workers and nourish consumers.

“To me, Slow Food is a return to the roots of agriculture and the soul of organic, because it focuses on the food—the end purpose of agriculture—rather than profits and yields that are the focus of the industrial food system,” says Quinn, author of Grain by Grain: A Quest to Revive Ancient Wheat, Rural Jobs, and Healthy Food. “Slow food offers an appreciation for farmers’ efforts to improve the soil and the nutrition, flavor and aroma of the foods we grow.”

The Slow Food movement also connects producers like Quinn with chefs like Steven Satterfield, author of Root to Leaf: A Southern Chef Cooks Through the Seasons and board vice president of Slow Food’s Atlanta chapter. “As a chef, Slow Food to me means honoring your ingredients and going out of your way to get the freshest, most sustainable, seasonal ingredients,” says Satterfield, who came to Slow Food early in his career as a young line cook interested in the provenance of food and protecting its cultural heritage.

At Miller Union, Satterfield’s awardwinning Atlanta restaurant, all dishes are made from scratch, mainly from farms in the region, to support seasonal eating and local growing. Satterfield’s dishes also feature traditional Southern varieties from Slow Food’s Ark of Taste, a catalog of more than 200 culturally significant foods in danger of extinction. One Miller Union favorite is a hummus made from sea island red pea and benne seeds, an ancient variety of sesame originally brought by slaves from Africa to the South Carolina coast and cultivated in hidden gardens as a staple food.

Beyond engaging diners, chefs and producers, Slow Food also campaigns for big-picture policy changes, like farmto-school programs to introduce fresh produce and get kids excited about healthy eating, says Luciano.

“Eating is a political act. The choices we make speak volumes about what we stand for,” says Luciano. “We talk about joy and justice. There is the joy in food and the justice and stories behind it. Slow Food tries to marry both of those worlds.”

They are often the most devoted pets because they know they’ve been rescued. ~Emily Bach

Paws to Consider Best Friends Waiting for Homes

by Julie Peterson

W

ade Breunig, of Buckeye, Arizona, had lost his marriage, his job and his house.

To combat depression, he went to the local animal shelter to adopt the first cat that “talked” to him. As if on cue, a 2-year-old black cat yowled persistently. During the adoption, Breunig learned that “Bubba” had been scheduled to be euthanized. He was saving a life.

Fourteen years later, Bubba died, and Breunig knew he would miss the mischievous, playful companion that loved car rides more than most dogs. Crying, but surrounded by his second wife and kids, he realized, “I didn’t save Bubba’s life. He saved mine.”

Devoted and Practical

The benefits of the human/animal bond are manifold, supported by an army of

studies that speak to pets’ ability to reduce stress, improve mood and even reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Research into animal-assisted therapy compiled by the University of California, Los Angeles, details the positive mental, emotional and physical effects of this natural modality.

Anyone looking to lower blood pressure, ease anxiety or secure companionship can find it all at their local shelter, where homeless dogs and cats are eager to oblige. Emily Bach, public relations and event coordinator at Bishop Animal Shelter, in Bradenton, Florida, has many inspiring stories about adopted shelter animals. “They are often the most devoted pets because they know they’ve been rescued,” she says.

The outdated myth that shelter pets are incorrigible, unlovable animals with behavioral issues no longer holds. Family

Shelters share success stories of animals that get a “forever home”. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands don’t and are euthanized. Best Friends Animal Society, in Kanab, Utah, is working to change this. By partnering with animal welfare organizations and shelters, Best Friends has a goal to “Save Them All” through an initiative to make all of the nation’s shelters “no-kill” by 2025—which means 90 percent of shelter animals might be saved. Euthanasia will be reserved for failed rehabilitation or when an animal has no chance of recovery from an illness or injury.

In 1984, when Best Friends was founded, about 17 million animals died in U.S. shelters annually. As of August 2019, that number is down to 733,000, a nationwide save rate of 76.6 percent.

Historically, no detailed data was kept on shelters. “For decades, we have worked in the dark to end shelter killing because we lacked accurate information about the problem we were trying to solve,” says Julie Castle, CEO of Best Friends. The organization recently launched the community lifesaving dashboard (BestFriends.org/2025goal), a database that anyone can access to help save shelter pets. “With a better understanding of where the trouble spots are and the profile of animals being killed in a community, we can better deploy our collective resources for the greatest lifesaving impact.”

Part of the success of the no-kill movement involves increased awareness that kindness toward all species is important. Bach points out that shelter animals are also the lower-cost option for people that want pets; most are vaccinated and neutered before they are adopted out and are often already trained.

circumstances—a change of job or residence, death, divorce or illness—can land a confused and well-loved dog or cat in a shelter. Others become accidental strays or are unceremoniously dumped by uncaring owners. Bishop, a no-kill shelter, places about 100 pets every month, showcasing them on social media, news outlets and at outreach events.

Getting Ready to Adopt

Before jumping in to help save them all by adopting, potential pet parents should research breeds, crunch numbers and think ahead. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) suggests considering several issues:

Lifestyle: Dogs live 10 to 15 years, cats up to 20. Pets should fit the family now and in the future.

Money: Pets require training, food, toys, equipment, medical exams and treatment.

Breeds: Not all dogs and cats will be a

good match for every home. Personality is key.

Safety: Pet-proofing a home includes

removing potential dangers and preventing accidental escape through windows, doors or fences.

Not everyone can adopt, but anyone can help. Shelters accept donations and most have a wish list of items. Volunteers are a core need at shelters, and it’s work that can quench the thirst for spending time with animals without adopting any of them.

any studies document the positive influence of pets on our well-being.

Healthy Heart

Single people that live with a dog have a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease.

(Tinyurl.com/DogsAndCardiovascular).

Part of the reason for this is likely because dog owners tend to get more physical activity than those without dogs, which makes dog owners generally more fit (Tinyurl.com/NIH-PetsAndHealth).

Less Stress

The demands of life can take a toll on the body. Contact with animals is linked to lower heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol, anxiety and fear levels, and increased feelings of calmness.

Lower levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol, have been shown to help regulate inflammation, which helps the immune system fight off everything from colds to diseases (Tinyurl.com/ AnimalVisitationProgram and Tinyurl. com/StressAndInflammation).

Social Bonding

ANIMAL ASANAS Goats on the Yoga Mat

W

by Yvette Hammett

hen 50 to 60 strangers gather in a barn for their first goat yoga experience, it’s a bit awkward and there’s not much interaction—until the goats come in. “It is an immediate icebreaker, and the place suddenly fills with giggles and laughs,” says Sharon Boustani, whose family runs Gilbertsville Farmhouse, in South New Berlin, New York. There is just something about miniature goats walking around on people’s backs while they do yoga that immediately de-stresses people and makes them downright happy, she adds.

It may be fun, but it’s also a form of serious therapy that’s taken off across the nation and around the globe in recent years. Yoga by itself is proven to help with stress and pain relief, better breathing, flexibility and cardiovascular health. Add goats to the mix and the benefits are compounded by the welldocumented benefits of human and animal interaction.

A number of studies, like one published in June by the American Educational Research Association, have shown that spending time with animals can

San Diego Edition

lower blood pressure and decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Other studies from the fields of psychology, animal welfare, counseling and anthropology note that these interactions offer additional positive health impacts and can reduce loneliness, boost moods and increase feelings of social support.

So combining adorable goats with a physically and spiritually beneficial yoga regimen just made sense to Lainey Morse, of Corvallis, Oregon, widely regarded as the mother of goat yoga. In 2015, Morse was diagnosed with a disease and was going through a divorce. “I would go out to my barn or out in the field and just be around my goats,” she says. “I wondered why they didn’t use goats for therapy like they do with horses.”

Goats, she says, have a sense of calm.

“When you are around them, you take on that energy, and it’s hard to be stressed out and have anxiety. But they are also really funny animals. They make you laugh.” She started with goat happy hour at her farm, inviting friends she knew were going through issues of their own.

“Everybody left happy,” she recalls.

When she discussed it with a yogi friend, goat yoga was born. Morse now has 13 partnerships around the country where others teach the classes and she handles the business end. “For me, it’s still about nature and getting out in nature.” Morse says she’s not quite sure why it took off like lightning, but she guesses it’s just because many people love the interaction.

April Gould and Sarah Williams run their Arizona Goat Yoga classes at the Welcome Home Ranch, in Gilbert, Arizona. It is now a major tourist destination for the state. “Three to four times a week, we walk about 150 people out into one of the pastures,” Gould says.

A lot of visitors from out of state return every time they’re in the area, she adds.

And many Arizona residents come once, and then bring back friends and family.

“People say it’s the best day of their life. It’s something you kind of have to experience to know why it’s so popular,” says Gould. Those that are more experienced can make it as difficult as they want. “And some people just want to play with the goats.”

For Bisk Education, an eLearning company based in Tampa, bringing goat yoga to its campus was a way to inspire and de-stress employees. “There is a way to integrate wellness into your corporate programs that makes you a differentiator,” says Chief People Officer Misty Brown.

“When it comes to a perk, I want to make sure those investments are memorable.

It gives Bisk the reputation as more of a progressive culture.”

Boustani calls it an escape experience.

“That’s primarily what it is. Yoga in general is kind of geared toward letting go of your everyday worries and trying to come to some peaceful or therapeutic state.”

Introducing something so lighthearted to something that many people take so seriously, like yoga, is interesting to watch, Boustani says. “It is nice to see that even dedicated yogis are so open to it.”
