Depressed? It May Be Your Diet

Studies show that food allergies and intolerances to common foods can cause emotional instability due to chemical imbalance.
For myself, I know I have intolerance to gluten and wheat, but I don’t have Celiac disease.
Like most people, I’ll slip in my diet when I’m stressed or when I have no food options other than wheat-based foods.
I strive to keep my health in good physical and emotional condition, so it’s easy to notice when I do slip. After last week’s stressful running around, I found myself letting off steam this weekend and I ate pizza. It was yummy.
On Monday, I cried several times, feeling overwhelmed by life, and finding it difficult to motivate myself and challenging to switch my thoughts from negative to positive.
When my diet is clean, I find I am more productive, more positive and enthusiastic in every area of my life.
All I have to do is cut out food products with wheat in them, and my overall energy improves and I feel so much better about life.
Poke around the Internet to find studies on the effects of wheat on an allergic system. Chemical balance and imbalance cannot be denied.
And if doing the research doesn’t convince you, try this experiment: Change your diet long enough to notice the difference. Cut out just wheat or just corn or just soy…and pay close attention to how your life changes…especially after you put the particular type of food you chose to cut out back into your diet.

Everyone has ongoing body stress/pain problems from living in the modern world—too much screen time in front of computers, lack of exercise (or bodily stress from too much exercise), and injuries sustained from accidents. When you receive a professional massage treatment, your body responds immediately, and with therapeutic massage—in the days and weeks afterwards, your body responds with its natural healing abilities.
Massage therapy is personal, intense, and intimate. You open yourself to a professional massage practitioner, and when the fit is right, you develop on of the most important things in life—a healing relationship.
Every person’s body and life story is unique, and you deserve a massage experience, not just a massage.
I take the time to understand what pains and stresses your body has, and I’ll respond
to your specific needs. I don’t give cookie cutter massages.
My goal with each client is to not only give you what you ask for, but to deliver an even better treatment than you were expecting—based on my experience, talent, and skills.
Are you ready for what you need?
