Importance of Mental Health

Peace is a priority!

It's important to take time every day for yourself and your mental health.

Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood and aging.

It affects how we think, feel, and act as we cope with life. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.

Wishing Wellness Functional Medicine with Dr. Scott and Ren

Health is influenced by many factors, which may generally be organized into five broad categories known as determinants of health: genetics, behavior, environmental and physical influences, medical care and social factors.

Not all Functional Medicine Practitioners are MD's however Dr. Scott Jacobson is an MD (licensed in 5 states) and uses his knowledge and expertise by basing his care on uncovering the underlying cause of illness and disease and developing an extremely close relationship with patients with both a scientific as well as holistic approach.

Health coaching is the use of evidence-based skillful conversation, clinical interventions and strategies to actively and safely engage client/patients in health behavior change.

As a Functional Medicine Health Coach Ren works with clients to achieve health goals through sustainable lifestyle changes. A health coach arms their clients with the tools they need to make sustainable lifestyle changes.

Together Dr Scott and Ren work with clients in our 6 month Functional Medicine to help you get to the root cause of imbalances as well as work on preventative medicine.

Health Benefits of Pets

We have a LOT of pets. Among them an 8 year old goldfish, bunch of cats, desert tortoises and a dog.

We are not quite such how it happened… but they are all rescues and we love them. (The fish was won at a carnival… is that even legal?)

There are many health benefits of owning a pet. They can increase opportunities to exercise, get outside, and socialize.

Regular walking or playing with pets can decrease blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels.

Pets can help manage loneliness and depression by giving us companionship.

Wishing Wellness Garden

Gardening reminds us of our connection to nature, and helps us focus on the bigger picture, which can alleviate symptoms of depression.

Also, the physical aspect of gardening releases feel-good chemicals in the brain such as serotonin and dopamine.

Wishing Wellness Fermented Garlic

This is a home remedy that we keep on hand at all times. It's great as a preventative remedy and for maintaining good health.

Fermented garlic surpasses the nutritional value of fresh garlic. Studies have found that the fermentation process dramatically raises it's properties and bioavailability.

There are many recipes online. For this batch we filled up a mason jar with garlic cloves and then did one part honey to one part apple cider vinegar. We let it sit loosely covered at a sunny window for about a week before tightening the lid and placing it in the fridge.

If you are concerned about Botulism you can use a pH test strip.

Walking Outside for Wellness

Walking Outside

#Nature has healing power. When you feel your #stress level rise, make time to go outside and walk.

Wishing Wellness Yoga

Studies suggest that even doing 20 mins of yoga daily may improve bone health and improve memory and focus.

Some of the changes we notice with doing yoga daily is improvement with sleep, stress and posture.

Strength and flexibility are something that we all lose as we age so maintaining this through yoga is important to us.

Thanks for practicing with us!

Wishing Wellness Buddha Bowls

We like eating Buddha Bowl with easily prepped foods.

What’s in a Buddha Bowl?

Typically, Buddha bowls are comprised of these basic elements:

* Starch/Grain
* Vegetables
* Protein
* Healthy Fat
* Dressing

Our typical Buddha bowls include brown rice, quinoa, or another grain or a starchy vegetable like sweet potato hash or butternut squash.

The more colorful your vegetables and the more you 'eat the rainbow' the more nutrient-dense your meal will be.

Buddha bowls often use plant-based protein sources, such as beans, nuts or seeds. Other options can include a boiled egg or meat or fish.

Some healthy fat options include minimally-processed oils, such as extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or some sliced avocado.

Check out our Wishing Wellness Blog for recipes for some of our favorite heathy dressings such as: Dairy Free Cucumber, Cashew Yogurt or Chimichuri Sauce.

It's also a good idea to add fermented vegetables.
They are rich in antioxidants, phytonutrients and probiotics, which can help improve digestion, immune function and heart health.

Side note: if you are struggling with gut dysbiosis or #SIBO, it’s best to avoid fermented foods until your infection clears, as they can cause digestive distress.

Wishing Wellness Garden

Functional Medicine is a progressive approach to health that looks at lifestyle as a key factor to healing. What we eat plays a big role in our health along with our emotional, environmental and psychological well-being.

One of the ways we practice balanced health is by growing our own medicinal garden. In the not so distant past most people had knowledge and access to medicinal herbs and used them to prevent, and treat common ailments.

Growing our own medicine and food is empowering and gives us the opportunity to spend time in nature, get exercise, contribute in a positive way to our ecosystem as well gain knowledge and help others.
