1. EATING DISORDERS
2. 14 TIPS FOR EATING HEALTHY
3. CANDIDA QUESTIONNAIRE
 
Eating disorders affect millions of girls and women.  Many people don't realize that older women have eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.  Often, when a teenage girl or young woman gets older, they may see a reduction or remission of their eating disorder, only to have it re-occur later in life.
 
Many times eating disorders are tied to stress, low self esteem, abuse, and using food to try to control situations or relationships.
 
Wolfbrook Holistic Healing may have the answer to overcoming food disorders.
 
By using EFT and Bach Flower Remedies, Janet Brown has successfully treated women with Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia Nervosa, as well as other weight-related issues and cravings.
 
While these women have had no recurrence of their disorders in over a year, it cannot be said that these methods are 100% long lasting; only time will tell.  But these methods DO NOT act like "bandaids" and merely help the symptoms.
 
What makes EFT and Bach Flower Remedies work so well is that they treat the problems at their root cause:  Anxiety.
 
Wolfbrook Holistic Healing believes that there is no one good solution for everyone--and that dieting is not the answer.
 
The most important thing for women and girls is to BE HEALTHY, no matter what size their body is.  The other, equally important thing is to have a high level of self esteem!
 
If you are scared, feel alone, or embarassed, don't give up!  Our consultations are 100%
confidential, non-judgemental, and compassionate.

2.  Here are the 14 top tips you need to know to find healthy food, even on a tight budget:

1. Choose local foods over organic foods.
2. If all that’s available or affordable is fresh, conventionally grown produce, buy it, wash it well at home, and eat it.
3. Look for local farms and food coops offering raw dairy products, eggs, produce, and grass-fed meat. This will allow you to cut out the middleman and save money. Buying in large quantities, such as a side of grass-fed beef, can also save you money in the long run as long as you have room to freeze it (and you consume it before it goes bad).
4. Skip prepared or pre-cut foods, which can cost up to double the amount as the unprepared versions.
5. Plan your meals ahead of time (including cooking large batches and freezing some for later) so you don’t splurge on expensive, unhealthy fast-food at the last minute.
6. Pass on junk foods like potato chips, soda, cookies, candy, and other snacks. These are a complete waste of money.
7. Buy lots of fresh veggies, they’re usually less expensive than canned versions (just make sure you use them before they go bad).
8. Only buy what you need. Keep track of what’s in your pantry so you don’t double-up on foods unnecessarily.
9. Clip coupons and use them when you can (but don’t buy something unhealthy just because it’s on sale).
10. Watch the register when you check out of the grocery store. They often ring up wrong prices, at your expense.
11. Shop with a calculator so you can determine if it’s really a better deal to buy something in bulk.
12. Watch weekly specials, and be aware of what’s really a good price. You can often find organic produce on sale for less than conventional produce if you know what prices to watch for.
13. If you have the space, grow your own fresh veggies such as greens, broccoli, tomatoes, cucumbers, string beans, etc.
14. Remember this rule of thumb: Fresh food is always better than frozen, but frozen is better than canned.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
DON'T FORGET YOUR ANIMALS!
 
Animals deserve natural healing techniques
and healthy eating too!  Here are a few general guidelines.  To learn more, email us or come to our workshop:
 
1.  Watch out!  So-called "healthy" pet foods
 are really not.  Read the label carefully.  Avoid
manufactured foods as much as possible, if
you have to buy them, don't get pet foods with
a long ingredient list.  Animal byproducts are a
no-no!
For info on making your own healthy pet
food, read Dr. Richard Pitcairn's books.
 
2.  Bach Flower Remedies are excellent for
relieving emotional stress and disorders in our
animal companions.  Rescue Remedy is fantastic
for calming an animal who has to go to the vet or
groomer.  It is also useful when introducing
a new animal into your home.
 
3. Massaging your animal is comforting and
soothing for both of you.  Use gentle, circular
strokes over the entire body.  Stop if you
notice any aggression from your friend.
