While we may not be able to change the circumstances in our lives, we can alter the way we approach them. By nurturing physical health and wellness, we become better equipped to handle the situation no matter what happens. When we maintain a healthy condition, we can enjoy the good times as well as handle the bad,
Yes, just as life can bring joy, it can also bring stress or pain. In today's feature article, I offer one example why we must be very cautious about how we treat that pain. Acetaminophen is a common, over-the-counter, pharmaceutical formula for relieving aches, headaches, and fevers. That sounds like a winning combination...until you consider the side effects.
My practice is to address the cause and then apply the most appropriate, conservative form of treatment possible. Consider that a headache could be due to dehydration. Acetaminophen might take the pain away temporarily, but I'd prescribe water.
This philosophy is why we promote our cleanse program twice each year. It offers a reset in a life full of temptation. The cleanse clears away the toxins that may be complicating your ability to get to and treat the source of your wellness troubles. Then, the program empowers you to keep those troubles away by teaching you how to make good choices.
Of course, life often tramples our best intentions. Thus, without judgment, the cleanse can be repeated if one gets off course down the road. We've had many "repeat cleansers." Folks have returned because they learned what "feeling good" really means, and thus they understand when their physical wellness needs extra attention.

We also offer both in-person and virtual attendance, so you need not travel to the office to join us for a cleanse. Check out the events section to learn how to register for our last cleanse preview before the spring program. Or if you're a repeat cleanser and don't need the preview, contact Kerry to sign up for the cleanse directly.
We’re here for you,
Dr. Pfeiffer
