I'm debunking the myth that decline is just a part of getting older once and for all time! This one will be a long one. In The 30 Day Kickstart Program we cover this material over a few days, it is that important y’all!   Let me drop some science: If you have ever been to one of our retreats or heard me speak you will have heard me talking about how inflammation is responsible for about 80% of chronic conditions that people consider just a natural part of aging. If you know me pretty well, then you know that even though I tend to have a spirit based approach to health, having been a research scientist, I always want to see the research. When it comes to health claims, count me in the cynical category!   Well, there is research that confirms that decline is not just a part of aging, this research pinpoints a molecule called NFkB found inside cells. NFkB is responsible for telling our cells to start the inflammatory process. This is great if there is an invader that needs to b...

 Last time we chatted about: "How you've lived your life so far." Today, let us ponder the same question but from a different perspective. It's interesting that many of us internalize our current health challenges as a permanent part of us. If you resonate with this you are not alone. Most people are. I used to be the same way, I probably still do it occasionally when I'm having a not so great day! ;)  I used to say things like: " MY autoimmune disorder," or " I have a hard time losing weight." What I found interesting in its simplicity is that shifting the way I would talk about the disorder I used to suffer from, changed the way I felt about it . That was one of the first steps for me on my road to recovery. Thoughts matter, thoughts have some power. I'm not saying that sitting thinking "I'm perfectly healthy" while doing something that my body has clearly rebelled against is a good idea. Trust me, kids, don't try that ...

One of my favorite mentors, a physician and teacher of functional medicine, always says that the health of about 80% of people is as a result of three things: A) How you've lived your life so far B) Your genes C) Your gut and natural flora So I've got to ask you:  How you've lived your life so far? How is that impacting your health today? I invite you to give this some serious consideration! To help with that, I've created a little questionnaire. Click here for today's worksheet. Go ahead and fill it in. This is not one of those clickbait quizzes. I will go through each of these personally and email you your results. Ok? And the invitation to call in office is still open to you. 860-589-1491 Regards in health, Dr. Davia H.

I'm superwoman it's true, but even that is bey...

I know that the last year was truly challenging in so many ways. I just wanted to reach out to remind you that it is never too late.  No matter how old you are, no matter where you are in life, it’s not too late to live the best version of your health that you can, here and now.  So take a moment, close your eyes if you can, and think about this: If your health was ideal, if you could wave a magic wand and change everything in a snap; what does the picture of your ideal health look like? I've been talking to a lot of patients about this sort of thing recently. They have been saying things like:    "With the pandemic I've gotten out of my routine, and I just need to get back on track."     or    "I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired."   Is this sounding like you? If it is, you are not alone. Often we feel alone in our trials. I'm here to tell you that it is not just you, you are not alone and you may...

If you’ve read anything I’ve ever written, or if you have met me, you know that it is my fervent desire to always be focused on happiness. My happiness to be sure, but also to use my platform as a way of spreading happiness, joy and …love… and all that airy fairy stuff. Well guys, here we are in the middle of something that we couldn’t have predicted a year ago. We are social distancing; all but essential businesses are shut down; we are cloistered in our homes; we may be running out of toilet paper; and hand sanitizer hoarders are now a real thing. Those of you who have been preparing for the zombie apocalypse are probably doing the “told ya so dance” right now. For someone like me who’s always talking about happiness, how do I even deal with this level of crazy that we are finding ourselves a part of right now? I deal carefully, thoughtfully and deliberately. What I know for sure is that we can maintain our happiness in this troubled time. I’m not talking about putti...

The question I ask of anyone who will listen is : Do you believe that you can live your optimal life? What does living your optimal life mean for you? I mean, if you could wave a magic wand and change your life so that everything fell into place what would that look like? What would your health be like? Your body? Your time? Your relationships, career/work, finances? What would those all be like if we were really allowing ourselves to dream into the realm of what we would truly, deeply, no holes barred, like to have show up in our lives? I believe that we create our own lives by design. I believe that every single one of us is being constantly blessed. That we have a constant stream of well being flowing to us, but the reason we do not always see the things we want showing up in our existence is that we are not always allowing the awesomeness in. We are often not in the mode for receiving the things we are desiring and as a result we are often blocking our desires from comi...
