Support Supplements- September
The HIVE
Some of you may want to connect and communicate the awesome changes that are happening or just look to share the challenges of working this program over the next 12 months. I added this comment section in the hopes that we could create a small community of support.
Rule #1 (the only rule)
Be Kind. We are all working on our "stuff." This is a place to share and feel heard NOT judged.

Vitamin C and the importance of collagen.
As we move into summer, I think of time in the sun with the family. As important as it is to get natural vitamin D, we have to remember to protect our skin with Vitamin C, the building block of collagen and ALL soft tissue. That's right.
ALL SOFT TISSUE. skin, intestinal lining, joint support, early bone tissue, blood vessels,
EVERY SOFT TISSUE.
I like C-synergy. (Used to be called Collagen-C.
Its ingredients and possible health impact:
-
Rose Hips-high is ascorbic acid and lipid soluble antioxidants such as carotenoids and tocopherols. It has been traditionally used to support inflammation or oxidative stress.
-
Veal Bone PMG-provides nucleotides, peptides, and minerals from veal bone
-
Echinacea-immune support
-
Bovine adrenal-supporting adrenal health can support the immune system
-
Defatted wheat germ-common in Dr. Royal Lee’s formulas as its very nutrient dense. Wheat germ may have anti-aging effects. It is the highest known food source of spermidine which has shown longevity effects in studies Cellular Health and Aging - WholisticMatters
-
Buckwheat-another common Dr. Royal Lee traditional nutrient dense ingredient, buckwheat may support collagen synthesis and help reduce oxidative stress due its macro and micronutrient content.
-
Reishi and shiitake mushroom-anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, immune system support
Support Supplements- May
Some people are still detoxing during this month but May is a good time to work on your immune system for support of seasonal allergies. Prebiotics are important as food for your probiotic bacteria; that means eating lots of fiber. If you have been doing the detox program, you still have gastrofiber left over so it's a good idea to keep taking that to ensure plenty of prebiotic fiber.
Support Supplements- April
April is the beginning of spring and that is liver energy.
This is the time of cleansing and detoxification. We usually try to do our annual 21-day purification program during this time of the year.
The 21-Day Purification Program is a complete program that is designed to support the five main organs of detoxification in your body:
-
liver
-
kidneys
-
intestines
-
lungs
-
skin
It is designed to feed you while you are cleansing and not starve you.
During the 3 weeks you will remove caffeine, dairy, sugar and alcohol.
We recommend that you use a fourth week to re-introduce the foods you took out and see how you body responds. You may find that you are okay with not having them in your life.
Support Supplements- March
March is the time of energy.
Energy in our bodies is made primarily from glucose. Now, that doesn't mean that we should be eating a ton of sugar but foods like vegetables and fruits inevitably break down into glucose. But then what does the body do?
Glucose goes through the "Kreb's cycle" and "Electron Transport Chain" (which I am sure all of you remember from high school health class) to make ATP= the fuel cell of the body.
Those processes require a few things- B-vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other cofactors.
best way to get the necessary cofactors is to eat- A RAINBOW OF FOODS. that's right COLOR is the key.
Of course if you want to just take some supplements to help, here are some great options.

Support Supplements- February
February is heart health month.
Heart or Cardiovascular disease is still the number one cause of death in America. Despite tons of education, the implementation of lowering cholesterol levels as a marker for statin drug initiation, and a variety of surgical interventions. It's just plain crazy.
I have learned that there are one primary factor in cardiovascular health- sugar.
Sugar increases visceral body fat (fat around your organs)
Sugar makes blood vessels brittle.
Sugar depletes B vitamins- essential for proper nerve conduction for the heart.
Sugar. Sugar. Sugar.

A valuable tool in preparing your mind and body for change, visualization, and creating new neural connections is breathing. In this video we demonstrate how to perform diaphragmatic breathing. This breath technique helps to shift your brain into parasympathetic mode (relaxation) and away from the fight or flight response of stress. Perform daily at least once a day, preferably before you start visualizing your Do. Have. Be. list.
Why?
Our wellbeing is more complex than just our physical world.
Many things contribute to overall wellbeing- health, relationships, finances, work, to name a few.
Even our self-image plays an important role.
When we are “stuck” and want change in our lives, we are often confronted with where and how to start. This system is a culmination of tools that I found to be effective AND easy to implement.
The toughest part is going to be trusting the system.
Opportunities will show up in your life but because they don’t align with what you think should happen, you may not act on it. If you trust the system, you will act on it regardless, and see miracles happen.
What?
Print the pages.
Invest in a journal for the year.
Invest in a pen you love. (There is a power to writing it long hand with pen to paper).
How?
Follow the instructions in each section and complete.
Keep the “Wheel of Life” and “Do. Have. Be.” sections in a place you can see every day.
Write in your journal- note changes and record achievements.
Make it a priority!
Stay on track!
Commit to participating EVERY day.
It is a 30-minute investment of your time a day.
Isn’t your BEST LIFE worth 30 minutes of your time?
boy do i need to get back on track with this.
Things have been going in the right direction. Training is going well so far, Scott and I are trying to sort out the new pracice model, and my self improvement practice is starting to gain traction.
This week- ancestral grief. Is it possible for us to carry the grief of our parents? This is the practice I am investigating this week and I have been instructed to give it up or let it go. I will use the meditation of delivering to the alter.
Finally starting to feel more connected and back on track to manifesting.
More than that I have realized that I have been so disconnected from my higher self. Lost in this strange maze of overthinking and overstrategizing. It has been exhausting.
Interestingly enough it seems to have been chatting with a complete stranger that has helped me to recover this sense of connection.
It has been diving into a new hobbie of photography that has helped me to reconnect.
There is a sense of letting go.
Not worrying about the outcome because I am not looking for validation from any of these pursuits. I am realizing that there should be nothing we would invest in that rquires strict outcomes.
I feel like sometimes just the simple act of journaling is an obligation that requires time that I dont seem to have but really its just something that I push to the side because I dont really know what to do.
I have been experimenting with just going with flow and allowing myself to do things as they come, make decisions as they arrive and based on how I feel rather than trying to out think everything. I need to be cofident that this method is the proper method for me since it aligns. But I am stuck in neutral.
Have to get the bloodwork stuff done and just started yesterday.
Muc more work than I thought.
I will have to think of it as a first draft and just get it done.
Tired.
Driving down to Oregon a couple weeks is a row was pretty exhasuting.
I feel like I just need a little recovery time. Probably a good idea to make some shakes for the next couple days.
I did get to work out with Annika this weekend so that was cool. Maybe something we can keep going.
Adam had a good outing in baseball so he was stoked. Fun to watch him grow and evolve.
Also interesting to hear about the whole school thing being a little lame without baseball. I wonder if he will make the decision to transfer out if he gets a better opportunity. As for me, have to get thing moving quickly in to building the remote model better and getting the blood work analysis sheets sorted out.
Gotta get up to speed with the monthly update for this page.
Feeling some resistance around setting up renting out the office space. I have no idea what I am doing and not sure how to make it work.
I should be able to manifest the best team member to rent the office, right?
So I guess I will set that intention here and now.
My intention is to attract and manifest the ideal team member to rent out the space.
Got back from visiting my son from college.Quick trip overnight.
My daughter Annika felt like we had abandoned her.
Maybe she is feeling like she is not being supported in the way that she needs and we are giving Adam too much attention.
My problem is that I am having a tough tine connecting with her regarding what we can do together. How do I fiugure out what her interests are that we can do together?
It feels like she baseically likes hanging out with her horse friends and thats about it.
The other thing is cars. What can we do together related to cars?
Hmmm..
Confused about how to rent the space. ugh. I dont want to use disempowering words but this is not my forte. But I don't want to pay the entire rent on my own. Plus I want to build a team.
wow. talk about manifesting. I put out a volunteer request where I needed 5 patients to do blood tests. I got that in 5 minutes. Crazy.
I need to stay consistent in making things happen based on what I know will ideally happen and not get lost in the details. ;-)
one little glitch and I want to procrastinate.
How do I discern whether this is the universe telling me to be patient or challenging me to step up and push. I feel like I always do both but not sure I am doing either at the right time.
ugh. life. why must you challenge me? LOL
