Talk to the people at the practice at which you are wanting to start receiving care. If the doctor is not available for a direct interview, the office manager may be able to answer questions regarding the practitioners and their style of communicating with patients and their approach to care.
You can contact Emily at WholeLifeWellness.co (CO not COM) – it is under construction.
You can find out information about the Whole Foods Nutrition Challenge on her Facebook page: facebook.com/wholelifewellness3.
Contact her at: https://www.facebook.com/wholelifewellness3
As promised – The 7-Day Whole Food Challenge – sign up for FREE!!!

While science understands many of the aspects of diabetes, and it still continues to learn more, society as a whole doesn’t have a clue. If you have diabetes, I’m sure you’ve had some of the following statements said to you. If you don’t, read this as a list of things to never say to someone with diabetes.
(Answers provided by Ronei, but they are not representative of her knowledge and support of people with diabetes, this is for comic value only.)
“Oh, you have dyebabeetees? So your lungs don’t work, right? Well, at least you don’t have cancer. My sister has it and got it because she ate too much sushi. Last year, she had her legs cuff off! I hear you can cure it by drinking water? I feel joy for you because those fuzzy needles would make me cook. And I could never have someone skate one of those pump things in my eyeball. My cousin had juvenile diabetes but outgrew it when she turned 102. I was reading in National Enquirer that Meryl Streep had it but reversed it by eating only enchiladas. And Olivia Davis has it and she’s lived a long time with no problems. I also read where lots of people who have it bad travel to England because they have a cure for it there. Don’t be sad, Dr. Paschall said there will be a cure here in America in 9 years. Then you can start eating chocolate chip cookies again!”
It sits in the top of your head
When someone says “I can see it in my head” – it’s the area that can recall visual memories. Remembering the last place you saw your keys or visualizing driving directions based on the landmarks you pass (which is the only way we give directions in the South). So, when someone closes their eyes to try and remember something, they’re trying to deactivate their eyes and activate the parietal lobe.
Being able to identify a 3D object with your hands by touch only, and without your eyes. This is also how Braille works, the dot patterns created to represent letters.
Good info here and here about Braille activates the brain.

The main chemical, or neurotransmitter, that functions in the frontal lobe is dopamine.
They’ve discovered a genetic component that affects the shape of the dopamine receptors.
These cells in your brain don’t actually touch each other. The terminals spit out dopamine, and it floats in the space and hopefully comes in contact with the next cell’s dendrites. The dendrites have dopamine-shaped keyholes, and the dopamine should fit in the keyholes perfectly. But they have discovered that a genetic component affects the keyhole shapes, and this make be a root cause for schizophrenia and attention deficits.
If you think about it, the classic symptoms of schizophrenia – paranoia, anxiety, hallucinations, split personalities – most things affected in your prefrontal cortex. So if the dopamine receptors are “broken” in this area of your frontal lobe, you can see how there could be a dysfunction. And this is produced at the genetic level. Science is still learning about this…
Strokes or brain injury in this area of your brain can affect personality. These parts of your brain don’t grow back! Some issues related to the speech motor area of the brain (Broca’s area). Stuttering (clinically diagnosed) is a misfire in the motor planning part of speech. Aphasia (loss of words) – part of you brain knows the word but you can’t seem to get it out of your mouth. Strokes in this area can cause some strange effects in the loss of words.
There is also a type of epilepsy (seizures). Seizures are a misfire or a short in the electrical signals of the brain. Seizures in the frontal lobe can possibly affect memory (epilepsy-related amnesia). Must be diagnosed by a neurologist.
Back in the day, there was a guy named Pheneas Gage who worked on the railroad. An accident involving dynamite and a railroad spike, led to a major head injury and an altered personality!
We rub our forehead when we’re trying to remember something because that’s where our short-term memory is.
Cynthia doesn’t have that many Facebook friends!
