Health Coach Tip – Spring-Time Cleaning

Health & Wellness

Change of seasons? What better way to start fresh than with a little cleaning. When you look around your home, does it feel a bit overwhelming? Are there piles of papers, cluttered countertops, and disorganized drawers? A lack of organization can contribute to increased irritability and negative feelings, as well as reduced productivity. But the good news is…reorganizing and decluttering your space comes with many health benefits! So, let’s dive in and discover the benefits of decluttering your space this Spring!

Curious about the benefits?

Decluttering can contribute to improved sleep hygiene

‍

Spending time in a disorganized space may contribute to a cluttered mind. Having a busy brain before sleep may prevent you from winding down. Try cleaning out your space and see how it impacts your sleep.

‍

Decluttering can enhance productivity

‍

It’s easy to be distracted by surroundings, especially if you’re trying to work at a messy desk. In fact, a clean workspace can increase concentration levels and creativity. Make some time to reorganize your work station and reap the productivity benefits.

‍

Decluttering can contribute reduced stress levels and improved mood

‍

Stress levels can increase in response to a messy space – especially if you can’t find what you’re looking for when you need it. It makes sense then that tidying up can help reduce stress levels and improve your mood.

‍

Decluttering can reduce allergies

‍

When our homes or offices get messy, they accumulate allergens and dust – this may lead to poor airflow. Cleaning up gives us the opportunity to rid our spaces of these allergens and reduce allergies, asthma and eczema.

Perfect Pairing: Harnessing the Anti-Aging Power of Methylene Blue and Red Light Therapy

I am a big proponent of health-promoting therapies and two of the ones I’m now regularly using in my practice are red light therapy and methylene blue. The extraordinary benefits of combining the red and the blue, two modalities which, in different ways, both stimulate the powerplants inside our cells, the mitochondria, with the result that the body has more healing energy on tap. Each therapy enhances the other, creating a synergistic effect that I like to call, 1 plus 1 equals 3. Or, combine and conquer! Here are my thoughts on how to put them both to work for you.

7 Reasons Why You Need More Protein for Anti-Aging – and 6 Ways to Get Yours

Just about every day patients ask me how they can age well, or at minimum, do it better than their parents and grandparents did -- and the good news is that many of them can! As the biology of aging has evolved over the past few decades, we now know so much more about how to help our bodies age more slowly, in better health, than ever before. Granted, we’ve not quite figured out how to stop aging but there are a number of steps we can take, starting now, to get into a slower aging groove. One of the biggies is protein. While it may not seem like an obvious clock-stopper, as we age, increasing protein intake becomes especially important – and a lot of people overlook this relatively simple, longevity upgrade.
