Hello, Health-Seeker,
Wow – what a week it’s been!
I am taking care of my college son long distance – he’s been sick for practically the first time in his life – with a cold turned into bronchitis, and now hives. Poor kid. It’s finals time and he has lots of papers due, and it’s been really hard because his energy is down. On top of it all, he seems to have dislocated his shoulder!
I sent him a care package of herbs and vitamins last week, and sent him to a local acupuncturist and herbalist for help. It’s hard being half way across the country. Fortunately he’ll be home in just over 2 weeks.
I’m also shorthanded as one of my team members has been out sick – I’ve been taking care of her, too. Hopefully she’ll be back on her feet soon.
In spite of it all, I am managing to use my Heart Math techniques to stay relatively cool and calm. I am so grateful for my “mini vacations” and the ability to transform stress quickly and effectively. I went to the beach a lot last week.
Be sure to register for my SHINE series of webinars – they are free. The first one was Tuesday (last night), and a replay is available if you missed it.
SHINE: The Secrets to Happy Hormones, Invigorating Nutrition, and Energy!

No worries if you can’ t make them all live – they will be recorded. As soon as you register you’ll get the link to the recording of last night’s debut.
I am so excited to share information that’s near and dear to my heart and has helped countless clients to transform their health.
And if you missed last week’s radio show, be sure to check it out:

It was about “The Power of Your Plate: How to Eat for Energy and Hormone Balance”.
I am heading out to California to attend the Longevity Now conference shortly after Thursday’s radio show. I’m looking forward to it.
Enjoy your week!

Thyroid Assessment Secrets Even Your Doctor May Not Know About
by Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo
Your thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the front part of your neck. The bony structure in front of your neck, commonly known as the Adam’s Apple, is really called the thyroid cartilage and it’s purpose is to protect your thyroid gland. Your thyroid’s main job is to control the amount of oxygen utilized by each and every cell in your body. Thus it controls your metabolic rate, i.e. the rate at which your body burns fuel.
If your thyroid gland is under-functioning, you burn fuel more slowly and often have difficulty with getting rid of excess body weight. People with overactive thyroid glands are usually thin and wiry with rapid heart rate and agitation.
Thyroid gland function is complex and there is no need for you to become an expert in its physiology and biochemistry. It is important, however, for you to have a general understanding to enable you to best take care of this precious gland.

It’s amazing that one small, butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck can have such a profound effect on your overall health and energy.
The healthy function of your thyroid is essential to your metabolism and energy, and if you’re not producing energy the way you should, your whole body suffers the consequences. There are ways to determine if your thyroid gland is working too hard or not hard enough that even your doctor may not know.

Raw Food: The Answers –
How to Survive Long-Term
by Nomi Shannon & Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo
95% of people who go raw FAIL within the first year or two…Why?
Over the past 27 years since committing to a raw food healthy lifestyle myself, and helping others to do the same, I began to notice repeating patterns of why most people fail with in in the long-term. So did my friend Nomi Shannon, author of The Raw Gourmet Book (and many others).
Together Nomi and I compiled answers to the most pressing questions people have about going and staying raw for the long haul, and we answered them in our new CD/Book combo.
We’ve compiled over half a century of our experience, training, hands-on know-how and wisdom and transformed this life-changing knowledge into TWO easy-to-understand accessible formats:
It’s available to you as either a physical Book & CD set that is mailed to you, or as a digital eBook (PDF) and MP3 (Audio) downloadable set.

Welcome to our all new Practitioner’s Corner, for holistic health practitioners, nutrition and health coaches, and anyone interested in sharing the gift of health with others.
We’ll post links to articles I find inspiring and informative, tips, research, and resources to empower you to success as a health practitioner.
Our first resource is from Sharla Jacobs, one of my dear friends and business mentors as well as a very successful client. Sharla has dropped over 60 lbs. since we’ve been working together and is thrilled with her new fit, trim and strong body.
Sharla and her husband, Jesse Koren, are masters at teaching holistic practitioners how to use heart-based strategies to attract ideal clients and build thriving practices. In fact, their business is called Thrive, formerly Rejuvenate Your practice. Most coaches, practitioners and entrepreneurs are great at what they do, but struggle to attract (more than) enough clients.
Sharla and Jesse will show you how to build your practice without overworking or burning out. Jesse and Sharla have taught over 20,000 entrepreneurs how to take their practices to the next level.
They are offering anyone I endorse a chance to apply for a FULL SCHOLARSHIP (valued at $997) to their upcoming weekend event, The Client Attraction Summit.
