Despite remarkable advances, medical and health sciences still have much to uncover. We often understand far less than blogs, advertisements, and government guidelines suggest.
Consider folic acid, recommended by the CDC instead of natural folate, on the grounds that natural folate “hasn’t been studied enough.” Yet, research shows folic acid can prevent the absorption of natural folate, potentially contributing to birth defects and even autism in some individuals. Why is folic acid preferred? It’s cheaper, has a longer shelf life, and meets government food fortification requirements, benefiting chemical and processed food industries.
We believe that each of us must take responsibility for our own health!
Key Steps to Health and Wellness:
Diet and Lifestyle:
- Avoid ultra-processed foods and be cautious of food additives.
- Manage your weight and exercise regularly.
- Eat a diet tailored specifically to your body’s unique needs.
- Identify and eliminate foods that negatively impact your health.
Mental Health and Stress Management:
- Recognize that stress isn’t caused by external factors like work or relationships, but by your reactions to these situations.
- Seek help from qualified therapists to understand and manage stress effectively.
Purpose and Fulfillment:
- Find and nurture a purpose beyond your profession or job to fulfill your deeper life goals.
- Remember, lacking purpose is often associated with declining health, especially after retirement.
Proactive Health Maintenance:
- Regularly monitor your health through appropriate lab tests. You can now order labs through us without needing to see a physician. See Lab Testing for more. (New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island residents must still see a physician to order labs.)
- Pay close attention to symptoms. Remember, mood-related issues VERY OFTEN have underlying physical causes. Addressing anxiety or sadness solely with psych medication3 will not resolve issues like thyroid imbalances or medication-induced anxiety.
- Identify your body’s specific nutritional needs. Supplements can compensate for lifestyle and genetic factors affecting nutrient absorption and utilization.
- Explore natural remedies—such as herbs, enzymes, amino acids, and vitamins—to correct imbalances early, before they progress into serious health issues. Western medicine excels in treating illnesses, but pharmaceutical treatments should ideally be your last resort. CHS has assessed many supplements for quality, potency, purity and price. You will find Amazon links to our approved products at CHS Supplement Recommendations.**
Seek Expert Guidance:
- Physicians specialize in disease treatment rather than proactive health management. Naturopaths, Doctors of Chinese Medicine, Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Curanderos, and Curanderas contribute significantly to overall health and wellbeing, gaining recognition even among traditionally licensed physicians.
- Psychotherapists and psychologists can help you uncover personal motivations and find purpose in life. Our Dr. Reinhardt is a licensed Medical Psychologist in California. He is a specialist in ADHD and Autism testing and treatment. For help, Contact Us.
A True Story on Prescribing Authority:
In Germany, pharmacists can prescribe medications, reflecting their extensive education in pharmacology—far surpassing that of physicians. When I asked if he felt threatened by American-style prescribing laws favoring only M.D.s and D.O.s, a German pharmacist humorously responded, “My profession has studied these substances for thousands of years. Those newcomers have only been around about 100 years!” (Physician licensing in the U.S. began only in 1910.)
