Humiston Wellness Rolfing®- Structural Method and Feldenkrais® Work When your neck or some other part of your body keeps hurting no matter what treatment has been applied to it, you will usually get lasting relief from Rolfing® or Feldenkrais® work, which systematically organizes the rest of your body so that place finally can relax.

Karl Humiston was directly trained by Ida Rolf, PhD. Bonnie Humiston is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais® teacher and trainer, who studied directly with Moshe Feldenkrais for 10 years.

Fundamentally these methods work by restoring something that has been lost, by returning your body's structure and movement patterns to the "blueprint of perfection" that was given you in the beginning and the potential for which remains in you. When our work succeeds in restoring this, all kinds of problems get better because they cannot stay bad when your "blueprint" is restored.

O

ne of the things I love about being a Natural Awakenings publisher is the relationships I’ve formed with other publishers.

This month I am sharing our Denver publisher’s letter with you as her words and heart resonate with me. We both birthed our publications 10 years ago.

Now we both have decided to cut the umbilical cord and let some other passionate publisher take over.

Anyone out there looking to make a difference in the lives of our amazing community in a fresh, impactful way? I invite you to reach out to discuss the possibilities of becoming a publisher and discover the new love of your life.

letter from publisher

Let’s decide it’s not just about our significant others, but more about love, compassion and kindness for everyone, including ourselves.

Instead of spending your money on flowers and chocolate, give a helping hand up to your fellow beings by giving it to a beggar on the street or donating it to a shelter for humans or animals.

Remember that holiday feeling of love and gratitude you had not even two months ago? Extend that same energy to everyone on Valentine’s Day. Let’s decide Valentine’s Day is about us all, instead of we two. Maybe our loving kindness will deepen our own inner wellspring of love for self and others.

Y

ears ago, while hoping to relieve a constant fatigue that she couldn’t seem to overcome, Darla Bhatia, owner of Wellness from Within Colon Darla Bhatia Hydrotherapy in San Diego, decided to try colon hydrotherapy. Her experience was a literal wake-up call. “After cleansing, I noticed not only more energy, but also a profound sense of mental clarity, improved inner awareness and peace,” she recalls.

In fact, Bhatia loved the way she felt after her treatments so much, she became a certified therapist so that colon therapy would always be a part of her health journey. “I was really inspired to share my positive experience with others by helping them along their own path to a flourishing body, mind and spirit,” she says. “My experience with colon hydrotherapy brought to my attention that when you let go of what is not benefiting you, it’s easier to see what does.”

Bhatia has been a certified professional colon hydrotherapist since 2015.

She was certified by the American Institute of Natural Health whose multi-level curriculum is founded on decades of research and is conducted in conjunction with Specialty Health Products, Inc., which has transformed the process of colon hydrotherapy by manufacturing high quality, hygienic equipment to deliver the most advanced, gentle and effective treatments available.

Personal Training with Nicole Zapoli What a great time of year to get your heart pumping. One way to do it is by working with trainer Nicole Zapoli. I’ve worked with Nicole for the last several weeks and, boy, has my heart been pumping. In such a short amount of time, I’ve strengthened many of my muscles, especially my core, and, yes, I’ve been super sore—all in a good way!

Nicole’s training style is steady and consistent—and she’s got a rock-hard body to match. She truly walks the talk!

Plus, Nicole has a positive approach and is always smiling—even as she pushes you through your comfort zones. Yet, she listens when you feel too challenged and/or have concerns about certain exercises and past injuries. Like all trainers, you must give them feedback so they can adjust to your age and physical criteria. I know I threw a fair amount of adjustments her way and she adapted to my request quickly. I liked that I learned not to push myself beyond my ability, which is hard for me.

I feel it was a combination of my age and Nicole’s dedication that paired us both well. I learned to surrender and modify and endure in a healthy way. That alone speaks volumes for any personal trainer—one that listens to your body!

Ashwagandha Normalizes Hypothyroid Levels

Ashwagandha, a traditional ayurvedic herb, can significantly improve symptoms of subclinical hypothyroidism, a condition that affects many women, a new doubleblind clinical study shows. Researchers from India’s Sudbhawana Hospital tested 50 patients that had high circulating thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. For eight weeks, half were given 600 milligrams a day of ashwagandha; the other half were given a placebo. In the treatment group, TSH levels fell by more than 17 percent, T4 levels increased by nearly 20 percent and T3 levels increased by more than 40 percent. “Ashwagandha treatment effectively normalized the serum thyroid indices during the eight-week treatment period in a significant manner,” the report concluded.

Sniffing Dogs Can Detect Malaria

After years of worldwide decline, malaria is on a worrisome upswing, but researchers from Durham University, in the UK, have found a quick, noninvasive, low-cost detection method: dogs. Trained to sniff out malaria parasites in socks that West African children wore for one night, the canines correctly identified 70 percent among the infected and 90 percent among the uninfected children.

Refresh Your Skin with a Professional Chemical Peel

by Leslie Morand Want a quick way to refresh your skin? Why not try getting a professional chemical peel. Chemical peels can help improve the appearance of pigmentation, acne, fine lines and wrinkles, scarring, sun damage, large pores and rosacea.

These facial treatments are suitable for all skin types—including sensitive skin. Peels range from organic herbal peels, fruit enzymes, pumpkin, lactic acid, salicylic acid and jessner. Many peels have no downtime and results can be seen immediately. For the best results, a series of chemical peels, scheduled one to two weeks apart, is ideal.

Talk to your esthetician about which chemical skin peel is right for you.

Leslie Morand, esthetician for more than two decades, is the owner of LeVie Skincare with offices in La Jolla and Encinitas. For more information and to schedule a peel, call 619-751-3605 or visit LevieSkincare.com. See ad, page 25 and CRG listing g, page 30.

Heart of a Woman The Right Choices Keep It Strong

ometime between the salad and the main course at her grandson’s bar mitzvah, Joyce Lenard, then 69, felt a crushing pressure deep within her chest.

A tireless go-getter who had worked in Hillary Clinton’s district office when she was a U.S. senator, raised two daughters and recently donated a kidney to one of them, Lenard had spent months painstakingly planning the 100-guest gala, so

when the pain came, she ignored it and got on with the party. She even drove herself to her Long Island home that night. “I just assumed I was having indigestion and it would pass,” Lenard recalls.

Hours later, her husband rushed her to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with a rare, often-fatal form of heart attack, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, in which intense stress literally changes the shape

of the heart. Thankful to be alive, she has since taken up meditation, cleaned up her diet and now leads a support group for female heart patients of all ages. Like her, many of them never saw it coming.

“Women tend to be the caregivers,” says Lenard. “We take care of our husbands, our families, our friends, our careers, and we often forget about our own health. Then look what happens.” Lenard is among the 44 million U.S. women with cardiovascular disease, an insidious illness that until recently has been erroneously framed as a “man’s disease”. In reality, it is the number one killer of women, responsible for one in three deaths each year, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). By comparison, one in 26 women die of breast cancer.

While awareness has risen since 2004, when AHA launched its Go Red for Women campaign, surveys show only 17 percent of women view cardiovascular disease as something that should concern them. It should, experts say, because 80 to 90 percent of cases are avoidable with lifestyle and dietary changes. In some cases, natural remedies can even reverse it. “We have all this sophisticated equipment and all these medications, but when it comes down to it, the vast majority of cardiovascular disease can be prevented,” says integrative cardiologist Christina Adams, M.D., of the Scripps Women’s Heart Center, in La Jolla, California.

diagnosed with the disease, and far more likely to die from it. “They didn’t have the classic signs and symptoms, so they often went undiagnosed and untreated,� explains Jennifer Mieres, M.D., a cardiology professor at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, in New York.

Along with chest pain, women often suffer fatigue, shortness of breath, indigestion, pain in the neck, back or jaw, nausea or anxiety in the months leading up to a heart attack. In more than half of the cases, according to one recent study in the journal Circulation, doctors fail to recognize these symptoms.

Then there is the “not now� factor. “I used to see women all the time who said, ‘I have had these symptoms for months, but I just didn’t have time to take care of it,’� says Mieres, co-author of Heart Smart for Women: Six S.T.E.P.S. in Six Weeks to HeartHealthy Living.

Recent research has also shown that women are uniquely vulnerable to developing heart disease in ways that men don’t share. Taking birth control pills (especially while smoking) can boost risk. Complications during pregnancy such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes can be hard on the heart, increasing vulnerability for years to come. Because estrogen is believed to be cardio-protective, when it wanes during perimenopause and menopause, risk goes up again.

“As soon as we hit menopause, our biological milieu starts to change,� says Mieres, noting that “good� cholesterol tends to decrease and “bad� cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides tend to increase. Yet, arterial plaque—which can ultimately build up, break loose and cause a heart attack or stroke—starts accumulating as early as age 20, so the earlier women start paying attention, the better.

Food Not Meds

Thirty years after the first cholesterol-lowering medication hit the market, so-called statin drugs have become the largest class of medications in the world, with U.S. sales doubling between 2000 and 2010 to reach $20 billion, according to the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. While drugs can be appropriate for those already diagnosed with heart disease and at high risk of heart attack or stroke, they are not without serious side effects. Statins can cause chronic muscle pain, memory loss and increased blood sugar, while hypertension drugs can precipitate fainting and kidney damage.

For many patients, there’s another way, integrative cardiologists say. Unfortunately, most of the talk about prevention focuses on prescription medications, says Stephen Devries, M.D., executive director of the Chicago-based Gaples Institute for Integrative Cardiology. “What often gets lost in the discussion are the dietary changes, which can be equally important.�

Devries recommends a plant-based Mediterranean diet— low in the saturated fat found in beef, processed meats and cheese—and high in leafy greens, whole grains and the “good� fats found in fatty fish, olive oil and avocados. Specific foods have also been shown to lower cholesterol and blood pressure.

Nuts, including walnuts, peanuts and almonds, have been shown to lower LDL. One 2017 study of 77,000 female nurses, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, found those that ate peanuts or tree nuts (including almonds and cashews) two or more times per week had a 19 percent lower risk of developing heart disease.

Those that ate walnuts once a week cut their risk by 23 percent.

Dark purple and red fruits contain compounds called anthocyanins that boost production of nitric oxide, and in turn expand blood vessels, improving circulation. Another recent study, published in the journal Circulation, followed 94,000 women for 18 years and found those that ate four servings or more per week of blueberries and strawberries were a third less likely to have a heart attack.

Pomegranates are also key for heart health, with recent research published in the journal Clinical Nutrition showing a daily serving of juice can make platelets less sticky, lower blood pressure and reduce plaque formation.

Dark leafy greens like kale and broccoli—which are rich in vitamin K—play an important role in fostering a healthy heart structure, with each serving per week cutting the risk of heart disease by 23 percent, according to the Gaples Institute.

Nurturing the Emotional Heart

San Diego Edition

No discussion of heart health would be complete without an emphasis on social and emotional health, a critical risk factor which until recently has been largely absent, says Sandeep Jauhar, M.D., director of the Heart Failure Program at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and author of the new book, Heart: A History.

But research shows the emotional heart can break, too, as in Lenard’s case.

With as many as 90 percent of incidents occurring in women, the condition that landed her in the emergency room often shows up in patients with no signs of obstructed blood vessels or high cholesterol.

Rather, factors like financial worries, work stress or the death of or break-up with a loved one can flood the heart with stress hormones, changing its shape to one that resembles a Japanese pot called a takotsubo and weakening it profoundly.

“Remarkably, in many cases, once the emotional state returns to normal, so does the heart,” says Jauhar.

Longer-term, emotional stress has been shown to lead to platelet aggregation, or stickiness in the blood, which can impact blood flow. Also, constant bombardment by stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol can damage the inner walls of blood vessels, boosting accumulation of plaque.

To nurture the metaphorical heart, integrative cardiologists recommend taking time to maintain healthy personal relationships and minimize work stress.

As well, exercising five to six days per week for at least 30 minutes and practicing activities like mindfulness meditation or yoga have been shown to lower heart rate. A recent study published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes looked at 201 people with coronary heart disease. It found those that practiced meditation were 50 percent less likely to die or have a heart attack or stroke in the span of five years.

Finding quiet spaces to retreat to can also be important. A study published in November by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital, in Boston, found that living and working in chronically noisy environments can boost the risk for heart problems. It is also wise to prioritize sleep (at least seven hours per night), because the lack of it can inflame arteries.

The bottom line is that a holistic approach is best, says Jauhar. “If you want to live a long life, don’t smoke, eat well and exercise, but also pay attention to the quality of your relationships and your ability to withstand stress and transcend distress. Those are also a matter of life and death.”

yoga, meditation and breathwork, have already made a massive resurgence in our time. These not only improve our well-being and health, but they also help us get clear on how to create the most value with our talents (and as a result, the most income).

The amazing thing is that modern neuroscience has allowed us to finally measure these ancient practices and clearly shows us what is happening when we use them. The results are incredible—I believe there are over 22 proven benefits to regular meditation at this point.

AF: If these ancient wisdom systems work as you say, and neuroscience is proving their effectiveness, why are so many people still caught in overwhelm and anxiety?

Health and Wealth Can Co-exist in Harmony Can you be financially successful without sacrificing your long-term health, relationships and happiness? An interview with Kai Van Bodhi, an entrepreneur who has taught qigong and Peak Performance ot over 50,000 people in live seminars.

Alex Fairman:

I think for a lot of people these days it seems like we have to make this hard choice between constantly hustling for outer success (and experiencing stress) or struggling financially but experiencing a fulfilling life filled with inner peace. Is this true for you?

Kai Van Bodhi:

It’s definitely not true, thank God. There are people right now who are experiencing their greatest impact and income, but who are doing it from a place of deep inner nourishment. I can say that last year was the year I contributed the most to the world and earned the most income, but because of the practices, I did it in a graceful, balanced way.

Right now, there is a renaissance of ancient wisdom that is coming back to reconnect us with our souls and ‘declutter’ our minds from the madness. These techniques, the most basic being 18

It comes down to implementation. Right now, people are overwhelmed with all this information. There’re so many books, podcasts and YouTube videos coming at us every day that we often don’t know what to actually do. And even when you sit down to do the practices, what do you do? Hours at the gym?

Long meditation retreats?

And people really don’t have much free time to work with.

They often get overwhelmed and end up doing nothing. This was really the inspiration behind Pathway of Power which has been my life’s journey to gather all the best practices from the ancient teachers and use modern neuroscience to distill them into the most effective form for today. This way, if you have only 20 minutes free—but you want to feel at your best and enter a flow state for a big creative project—you will know exactly what to do.

AF:

Can you briefly describe how the Pathway of Power works?

KVB:

There are six core practices, each of which provides specific benefits to your life. They include a breath practice, movement practice, micro meditation, morning tonic, journaling practice, and a weekly reflective process that exposes areas for growth.

It takes under 30 minutes a day to do all six, which is pretty amazing considering the power of the benefits they provide. Just one of the benefits is that these practices massively increase your ability to enter what’s called “flow state,” a special brain wave pattern associated with peak performance. In a McKinsey study among executives, those who entered flow state during work were five times as productive. For most of my clients, that reason alone is enough to bring them through my doors. After 20 years of working at this, I’m just honored to be where I am and to be able to serve people with something that truly helps them show up heroically.

Pathway of Power Live comes to the San Diego Sheraton Hotel and Marina March 9 and 10. Kai Van Bodhi, David Beaudry and Alex Fairman will be teaching this transformational two-day event.

Tickets: $197 with the code “Jedi.” To reserve tickets and for more information, visit PathwayOfPowerLive.com/na. See ad, page 31.
