Principles of a Wellness-Based Diet

The term nutrition is the overall process of ingestion, digestion, absorption, and metabolism of food.

Holistic Coaching vs Therapy

Therapists and counselors are recognized as experts who focus largely on cleaning up or completing old issues.

Coaching takes a different approach, reaching into the magical realms of manifestation, designing one’s life, and forwarding action to realize one’s dreams.

THE EFFECTS OF TOXIC EMOTIONS ON OUR HEALTH – PART 2 BY LINDA M. MCCARTHY PH.D

This article is a continuation of The Effects of Toxic Emotions on Our Health

The deliberation surrounding the emotional effects on physical health will continue to be debated until definitive evidence is produced and the teachings of the ‘Central Dogma’ are no longer. The medical community can not dispute the placebo effect, as it has been implemented as an alternative for many years when other means failed to produce results. Interesting, the doctors who prescribed placebos to their patients did so by defending their justification that the placebo would present the patient with a positive outcome, not because they believed the treatment would have a psychological effect on the patient’s particular condition.
