Upgrade your health through learning about food quality!

Organic vs Non-organic
Buying organic used to mean taking a trip to a health food store. Times have changed though, and today organic foods have gone mainstream.
But are organic foods really worth all the hype? Well, here are a few ways organic foods differ from conventional foods:
Organic Foods
* Use plant rotation to improve nutrient levels in soil
* Use insects (like ladybugs) orinsect traps for pest control
* Use natural pesticides approved
for organic farming
* Use compost, plant waste, or farm animal manure to improve soil quality
* Cannot feed farm animals hormones or antibiotics
Conventional food
🍆🥑🫛🍋‍🟩🍌🍅🍑🥬

*Use synthetic fertilizers to add nutrients to soil
* Use synthetic pesticides like glyphosate to control pests
* May use sewage sludge as fertilizer
* Can genetically modify food (aka GMO)
* Feed farm animals antibiotics or growth hormones

We’ve all heard the saying: ‘You are what you eat!’ It’s not always this simple. Yet, we do understood there is a connection that nutrition has to gut health and health in general. Weight, metabolism, immunity, hormones, blood sugar, neurochemistry are all heavily influenced by our nutritional choices.

According to a new CDC estimate, 476,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme disease yearly in the United States alone. The Quiet Epidemic is a film that brings light to this medical dilemma.

About the film: After years of living with mysterious symptoms, a young girl from Brooklyn and a Duke University scientist are diagnosed with a disease said to not exist: Chronic Lyme disease. The Quiet Epidemic follows their search for answers, which lands them in the middle of a vicious medical debate. What begins as a patient story evolves into an investigation into the history of Lyme disease, dating back to its discovery in 1975. A paper trail of suppressed scientific research, and buried documents reveals why ticks—and the diseases they carry—have been allowed to quietly spread around the globe.

Upcoming Broomfield Viewing: May 3rd, 4pm @ Broomfield Auditorium. Dr. Shawn Naylor will be a part of the post viewing question/answer panel..

MINDFULNESS RETRAINS THE BRAIN
Mindfulness retrains the brain and changes how you approach problems and challenges so you respond thoughtfully rather than reacting with strong, negative thoughts and emotions. When your mind is full of the present moment and all its sensory experiences, there isn’t room left for racing thoughts, negative beliefs, regrets, worries, or anything else that keeps us wandering out of our real life.
Numerous studies have examined the effects of mindfulness on mental health, physical health, and overall well-being.
Research reveals numerous benefits of mindfulness

☀️Decreased Anxiety and Depression
☀️Self-acceptance
☀️Emotional and behavioral regulation
☀️Increased attention span
🌙Better sleep
☀️Reduction in pain
☀️Improved immune system

Welcome 2023!
Dear Sound Clinic Friends,
A New Year’s blessing to all of you! We’re grateful to be sharing this moment together as we step into 2023 mindfully.
Looking back over the last couple of years, we as a collective have faced profound challenges, testing our resilience and perseverance as people, families, a clinic and as a global community. Out of these shared experiences, the Sound Clinic is looking into 2023 with an ongoing commitment and desire to continue to support all you on your individualized journeys of seeking health.
Self-care is essential to living a more conscious life; a more mindful life. While we are all on our own path, seeking personal health is a way we connect with oneself, a response of an open heart. And, like a muscle, with practice, our caring instinct becomes stronger and can then be shared with others. Improvement of our own well-being can lead us to being more present to life’s fullness.
The Sound Clinic looks forward to working with each of you in 2023 to find ways to help you feel more whole, healthier, and to be more mindful. Get to know (or be reminded) of all the Sound Clinic services on our website.
Cheers to a healthy, happy and bright New Year!
- Sound Clinic Team

Tis the season to harvest gratitude
🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾
Neuroscience Reveals that Gratitude Literally Rewires Your Brain to be Happier!
Steps to Becoming More Grateful:
In times of hardship or stress it might seem difficult to be grateful. But if you really think about it, we all have something to be grateful for. If you engage in only one prayer, let it be simply a heartfelt “thank you”. Here are three easy ways to put yourself in the mindfulness of gratitude.
Keep a daily journal of things you are grateful for—list at least three. The best times for writing in your journal are in the morning as your day begins or at night before sleep.
Make it a point to tell people in your life what you appreciate about them daily.
When you look in the mirror, give yourself a moment to think about a quality you like about yourself or something have recently accomplished.
Through the power of gratitude, you can wire your brain to be optimistic and compassionate, making you feel good.
The more you look, the more you can find to be grateful for. This positivity can extend to those around you, creating a virtuous cycle.
What are you thankful for this season?

Specialty labs are considered an expanded testing option. They are frequently ordered when traditional testing, such as blood tests through Labcorp, are "normal," but the patient continues to have persistent symptoms and ailments.
The specialty tests allow the practitioner and patient to dive deeper into understanding the root cause of a problem and/or provide additional management options.
Whether or not you are interested in learning more about your gut microbiome, food sensitivities, allergies or have unexplained inflammation,
refer to the Sound Clinic website for a summary of testing options.
You may now choose to order the test you would like and schedule a follow up about one month later with a Sound Clinic practitioner to review! This is a new option to empower you in your health journey.
