Category: Emotional Health

Most people consider diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits when considering health. However, a complex web of lesser-known factors influences our overall well-being—factors that often go unnoticed. These include genetics, environmental factors, mental health, social influences, and even our living conditions, all of which play an integral role in shaping our health.

Genetics and Family History: The Blueprint of Our Health

You might have inherited your grandmother’s love for baking, but you may also share her susceptibility to specific health conditions, such as heart disease or diabetes. Understanding your family health history can reveal potential risks and provide early warnings. At Total Health Now Clinic, we regularly work with patients with inherited genetic predispositions and help them make informed choices to manage their health proactively.

Mental Health: A Crucial Yet Overlooked Factor

The connection between mental health and physical health is undeniable. Chronic stress, anxiety, and mental health issues can negatively affect sleep, digestion, and immune function, leading to long-term health consequences. We see this often at the clinic, where patients suffering from mental health challenges are experiencing a cascade of physical symptoms. Our holistic approach addresses these intertwined factors, offering treatments that support the mind and body.

Environmental Health Factors: More Than Just Clean Air

We often overlook the quality of the air, water, and food around us, but these environmental influences profoundly affect our health. Polluted air and toxins found in our homes—such as mould and chemicals in cleaning products—can harm us in ways we don’t immediately recognize. At Total Health Now Clinic, we regularly educate patients about the importance of a toxin-free environment. We’ve seen how simple adjustments to water quality, air purification, and pest control can significantly enhance overall well-being.

The Social and Economic Dimensions of Health

Our social environment, including community support and financial stability, determines our health outcomes. Limited access to healthcare, nutritious food, or a safe living environment can create barriers to optimal health. At Total Health Now Clinic, we encounter this frequently—patients who struggle with poor economic conditions are more likely to face challenges in their health journey. Addressing these root causes is an essential part of our treatment approach.

Lifestyle Habits: The Subtle Influencers

Even seemingly innocent habits—like late nights, excessive screen time, or poor sleep—can disrupt our metabolic health and set the stage for chronic conditions. We work closely with patients to identify and change these habits, understanding that small, consistent steps toward better sleep, nutrition, and physical activity can have a significant impact. Regular consultations with our practitioners—like our 30-minute initial session—can help assess and guide patients toward healthier habits, giving them the support they need to succeed.

The Interplay of Factors: A Holistic Approach

Proper health is not simply a matter of what we eat but also our environment, the mental stress we carry, and the quality of our relationships. At Total Health Now Clinic, we often see patients with complex, multi-faceted health issues, and our approach is always holistic. We combine personalized treatment plans with ongoing education to help individuals improve their overall health and energy levels. From stress management to optimizing diet and improving sleep, we address these hidden factors head-on.

Water Quality, Noise Pollution, and Your Health

Water quality is often overlooked as a health factor. Contaminated water can cause various problems, from gastrointestinal to neurological issues. Regular water checks or using filters can mitigate this risk. Similarly, noise pollution—something many people don’t think about—can cause sleep disturbances and increase stress. Simple adjustments like earplugs or seeking quieter living environments can improve mental health.

The Power of Community and Social Connections

Our social network can significantly impact our health. Strong relationships and a sense of community promote better health outcomes and longevity. Unfortunately, isolation and lack of support can increase stress and contribute to unhealthy habits. At Total Health Now Clinic, we guide patients in building a support system, whether through family, friends, or local groups.

Education and Access to Resources: Key Health Determinants

Education plays a vital role in fostering better health choices. Higher levels of education often correlate with healthier lifestyles. By offering accessible educational programs and consultations, we empower our patients to make informed decisions about their health. Access to quality healthcare services and resources is crucial in optimizing health outcomes.

The Role of Housing and Living Conditions

Safe, clean housing is a fundamental aspect of mental and physical health. Conditions like mould, poor ventilation, and overcrowding can significantly impact well-being. We often advise our patients on optimising their living spaces to create environments that promote wellness.

Building a Holistic Health Strategy

It’s essential to recognize how genetics, lifestyle habits, environmental factors, mental health, and social conditions intersect to influence our overall health. At Total Health Now Clinic, we understand the complex nature of these influences. Whether you’re dealing with a specific health challenge or simply seeking to improve your overall well-being, our team of experts is here to help. We regularly deal with cases like yours and offer 30-minute consultations to start your journey toward a more holistic, balanced, and thriving life.

By identifying and addressing these hidden health influencers, we can take a more proactive, comprehensive approach to well-being. Your health isn’t just about what’s on your plate—it’s the sum of your environment, mindset, and daily choices.

Many people, especially in today’s hectic world have compromised detox organs and their body may be struggling to effectively eliminate toxins.

Exposure to toxic heavy metals is believed to be a contributing factor, if not a root cause, of symptoms like low energy, mood disturbances and cognitive changes. Heavy metals first enter your bloodstream from exposure to farmed fish, contaminated water, dental fillings and household products. These metals then travel throughout your body and penetrate the cells of various tissues and organs, where they can remain stored up for years!

Heavy metal toxicity can affect the function of organs such as the brain, the liver, and the lungs. Having high levels of heavy metals in the body can also reduce energy levels and affect blood composition.

Long-term exposure to heavy metals can cause the symptoms seen in degenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. In some cases, long-term exposure to some metals may even cause cancer.

Some examples of heavy metals include:

  • arsenic
  • cadmium
  • chromium
  • copper
  • lead
  • nickel
  • zinc
  • mercury
  • aluminum
  • iron

Heavy metals can enter our bodies through food and environmental factors. Some sources of heavy metals include:

  • soil erosion
  • mining
  • industrial waste
  • fossil fuel emissions
  • pesticides on crops
  • waste water
  • smoking tobacco

A heavy metal detox aims to remove excess heavy metals from the body.

A substance that binds to heavy metals is known as a chelator, and the process that transports them out of the body is called chelation. People may also refer to a heavy metal detox as chelation therapy.

Dr. John F. Demartini is one of my favourite authors and speakers and I have watched him live a few times. What he says below is of paramount importance if you are interested in cahnging your lives.

“The quality of your life is based partly upon the quality of the questions you ask yourself daily. If you are not inspired about your life or if you are not living the life you truly dream of, it just may be because you are not asking yourself the highest quality questions. The moment you do is the moment your life begins to change. Most people who struggle through life ask themselves such uninspiring questions that their lives become exactly that, uninspiring. Asking yourself low-quality questions leads to a low quality life, but asking yourself high quality questions is one of the keys to living the more self-actualized life you dream of and deserve.

Below are seven high quality questions you could begin asking yourself daily. I have been asking myself these seven questions for many years and have been able to fulfill many of my dreams through this method. Many of my friends and students have also done the same. These questions have already been demonstrated to increase the quality of many people’s lives around the world. Let’s now take a look at these seven high quality questions.

1. What would I absolutely love to do in life?

This question helps bring clearly into your conscious mind one of your heartfelt and meaningful dreams or objectives.

2. How do I become handsomely or beautifully paid to do it?

This question helps you awaken your creativity and helps you reward yourself in return. It helps make your vocation your avocation. Why not get financially rewarded for doing whatever you love?

3. What are the seven highest priority actions steps I could complete today that would enable me to do it?

This question helps you see how possible it is to accomplish this or any other meaningful dream or objective. It helps you organize your actions.

4. What obstacles might I run into and how do I solve them in advance?

This question helps you plan more effectively and prepares you for the challenges you might face in advance. It enables you to act more than react along your journey.

5. What worked and what didn’t work today?

This question helps you refine your actions and keep them on priority. All great endeavors require such feedback.

6. How do I do what I would love more effectively and efficiently?

This question helps you consistently think of more effective and efficient ways of accomplishing your meaningful dream or objective.

7. How did whatever I experienced today – whether positive or negative, serve me?

This question helps you realize that all great endeavors come with both supportive and challenging consequences both of which act as feedback mechanisms to assist you along your accomplishment journey.

Yes, there is a bit of thinking involved in asking and answering quality questions, but with a little effort and refinement you can certainly accomplish a great number of objectives and fulfill a greater number of dreams. Don’t you deserve to live your dreams? Begin asking yourself the same quality questions and see what answers they lead you to. Be as specific and concise as you can. Watch how your creativity begins to soar. The quality of your life is based partly upon the quality of the questions you ask yourself daily and the quality and quantity of actions you take for yourself daily. Begin to ask higher quality questions and begin to act on your dreams today.”

This story is one of the best explanations I’ve come across. Enjoy!

 

A Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take a bath found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other.

 

He turned to his disciples, smiled and asked, ‘Why do people shout in anger at each other?’

 

His disciples thought for a while and one of them said, ‘Because when we lose our calm we shout.’

 

‘But why should you shout when the other person is just next to you?’ asked the saint. ‘Can you just as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner?’

 

When some of the answers did not satisfied the others the saint finally explained, ‘When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance.

 

‘What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small.’

 

The saint continued, ‘When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.’

 

He looked at his disciples and said, ‘So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more, Or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.’

 

So What Is Anger?

 

Anger can be defined in many ways: from a loss of calmness, displeasure or irritation, to hostility or rage. When anger takes control, it is nearly impossible to focus on anything except that which has made us angry. Feelings of anger might dissipate after a few moments, linger for a day or take hold for months or years. Sadly, many people lead lives of one volatile encounter after another and don’t know why or how to overcome anger.

 

“When you have a long history with anger, when you’ve put a lot of emotional energy into that anger, you’ve imprinted a pattern in your brain that’s hard to break.”

 

Ref— Transforming Anger, Childre and Rozman, 2003.

 

Anger Builds

 

Anger often starts off as something small and builds. You’re impatient, irritation grows, judgment leads to blame and now you’re angry. Justified or not, the anger causes incoherence in your heart rhythms that activates stress hormones. Research has shown one five-minute episode of anger is so stressful it impairs your immune system for more than six hours.

 

The Quest to Overcome Anger

Eliminating anger and the longstanding habits that allow anger to trigger can be hard at first. How do you deal with your challenges in life? If you feel you can’t control your anger? Our physical, emotional and mental vitality are intrinsically linked.  The human heart has intelligence all its own that you can tap into to overcome anger, stress and much more.

 

HeartMath is a comprehensive system based on two decades of research, resulting in techniques, technology and online programmes that provide clear, concise methods for reducing stress and creating a deeper, richer experience of life.

 

HeartMath techniques have been proven effective in breaking the cycle of anger and all of its consequences. The techniques are very easy to learn and are based on extensive scientific research that has revealed how the heart and the brain communicate.

 

“Search your heart,” the saying goes, for therein lies the answer. Heart intelligence, we now know, is a resource that not only can help us overcome anger, but can guide us in transforming our entire lives as well and the process can be scientifically monitored.

 

“In recent years, neuroscientists have made an exciting discovery. They’ve found that the heart has its own independent nervous system – a complex system referred to as ‘the brain in the heart.’ The heart’s intrinsic brain and nervous system relay information back to the brain in the cranium, creating a two-way communication system between heart and brain.”
