Are you a veteran? Me too. I didn't do much, honestly. But I honor you. This week, come in for a free treatment. No catch. (Except DD214, which I hope you use a lot.. and offer ends April 1st.)

See this, call me, come in for a treatment. On me.

Because Veteran's Day should not be the ONLY day for you.

A few weeks ago I could not sleep due to an achy back. I also could not lie on my side, and I'm a side sleeper!

Guess what worked.. acupuncture. :) Turns out I had some trigger points in my piriformis muscle, which "referred" pain to my back and hips.

I also know that REGULAR acupuncture (at least 1x per month) is key, as is DAILY MOVEMENT.

In other words, a weekly yoga class and acupuncture "only when there is pain" won't cut it.. playing "catch up" won't help with the gradual decline.

I found a great article that lists most of the "stretches" and exercises I recommend.. mix these into your daily routine!

Remember to gently stretch your piriformis muscle to keep sciatic pain at bay.

Did you know I have a free Facebook group? Yep.

REAL Health, Fitness, Life, Wisdom

Why should you join?

1. You will have access to some of my BEST content designed for women "of a certain age" (ok, middle age) who are a bit frustrated about what is happening to their bodies and are NOT getting much support from their doctors.

2. You get to experience what HOLISTIC REALLY means.. not just the physical, but an in-depth exploration of the mind-body-spirit connection, via masterclasses, challenges, and interaction with a supportive group of women just like YOU.

3. Unlike so many other groups geared towards "the over 40" set.. this is a FLUFF-FREE zone. If you want flowery memes, fake sympathy, and a pill, this is NOT the right place for you. :) You deserve MORE.

Oh.. and yes, I swear. Not like a sailor, but I do say bu****it and a few other words, from time to time, unlike in my clinical setting. If this is offensive to you, it will not be the right place for you. My tribe likes raw honesty.

Only a FEW DAYS left before this unique program closes! Doors close on Friday, January 20.

I always getting excited about not only sharing this program, but DOING it, right along with you!

http://bit.ly/2iZqu3H

The truth is what worked for you when you were 30 is probably not going to work for you now. You know, counting calories, relying on a diet based on counting protein, carbohydrate, and fat grams, signing up for a bootcamp class, doing a smoothie detox,and buying expensive "anti-aging" products that don't really work. There's SO much more happening in the body, especially as we age, that can be the REAL root cause of our frustrations.

This is why it is so important to consider what's happening to our HORMONES, and to address our habits and mindsets.

My signature hormone reset is an INTENSIVE, premium program which includes:

Acupuncture, one-on-one coaching, a comprehensive blood panel, a full online digital course which will teach you about how our hormones can affect EVERYTHING, access to an exclusive Facebook group to give you additional support..
.and a lot more.. menu guides, shopping guides, and lots of functional and Chinese Medicine resources. I'm all about creating original and high quality content just for you.

You COULD just continue to "Google your way" to success, but the truth is, this method really doesn't work well. At all. Information is great, but most of us need a lot more.

This reset is an 8 week program which has helped women get their energy back. To get healthy in order to get fit. It's great when we can feel like ourselves again, like real people, instead of just a number, like BMI, blood glucose, or cholesterol.

I also like to go a little "deeper" into the philosophy and mindset of "aging well" and wisely.

This is the TRUE meaning of the word HOLISTIC: where the mind, body, and SOUL meet.

I'm here to empower women to claim what is rightfully theirs as they enter this journey called "perimenopause" (and menopause!)

This is YOUR Year. Make the most of it!

Coaching is where the long-lasting results can occur. This "high touch" program ensures that you will have lots of support from me

Have you downloaded YOUR copy of How to Get the Most Out of Acupuncture?

It's FREE. Really.

I created this book for my patients (so they know how I work) AND for people who ask me the mechanisms behind how acupuncture works. The truth is, it DOES work, but I don't think it has much to do with the way it is explained by other acupuncturists.

Qi? Meridians? Not really.

Let's DE-mystify acupuncture!

Welcome to the Tribe! A Handbook for New Patients New to acupuncture? Wondering how it can help you KEEP doing what you love? This Ebook will educate, inform, and hopefully inspire you on your path to healing! I have helped many other patients JUST LIKE YOU to achieve their goals on many levels: p...

An invitation to visit my website.

I have many blogs to share with you about functional medicine, biomechanics, hormone balancing, and more.

I also have a free Facebook group for women between 40ish and 60ish. It's a fun group.. we have a BLAST. This, to me, is what HOLISTIC really means. Not just about the didactic science. Health is about full engagement with your mind, body, and soul.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/getrealhealthandwisdom/

No ONE "healer" can do that FOR you (although many THINK they can!)

The group is called Get REAL: Health, Fitness, Wisdom, Life.

Last month we had a 30 day workout challenge, this month we'll have a 30 day "clearing out the clutter" challenge. We talk about everything from hormonal changes to um.. "midlife changes."

And yes.. I still offer the same depth of content I strive for in my acupuncture business. No fluff.

The women in this group also support each other.. I'm honored to know these women.

Bottom line: When it comes to health, I'm into a down-to-earth, no "BS" philosophy AND YES..some woo-woo with a touch of rebellion and irreverence.

Here's the link to the FB group:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/getrealhealthandwisdom/

Dive in and ENJOY... my website and my group.

Practical systems for sports medicine, fatigue, menopausal symptoms, general pain, insomnia, anxiety, depression….and more!

This is a busy week for me. Today, Wednesday, I'll be giving a talk at the Natural Grocer's on Kipling and Coal Mine in Lakewood, Colorado at 5:30. Tomorrow, (Thursday) I'll be giving the same talk at Mission Trace, same time!

It's about reducing your toxic load with personal care, cleaning products, and cosmetics. I'll show you how to make sense of the industry practices, the politics, and regulations (national and international) as well as some science so you can make your own informed decisions.

Of course, I'll also be talking about how your overall toxic load affects your HORMONES!

Come check it out! If you are an expert in the industry or a chemist, I welcome you even MORE! :)

https://www.naturalgrocers.com/…/reducing-your-toxic-load-3/
I'm also considering turning this into a WEBINAR, so everyone has access to this info.. hibernating introverts, crazy busy types, and people all over the world.
. if this sounds interesting. let me know.. type yes.
PS: I'm STILL trying to get them to correct the spelling of the word health!!

This book rocks. I just discovered it!

"Aging well" is a passion of mine and this woman just NAILED it. I have written some smaller books and a TON of blogs and maybe one day I'll come up with something this brilliant for a full-length book.

I'm also into a combination of down-to-earth, practical, functional medicine and "woo-woo" if you want to call it that.

Over the last decade or so.. having done extreme sports, studied martial arts, practiced acupuncture, built a business, both local and online.. wow. I have been on that freaking roller-coaster ride. I could honestly say that I would be an utter FOOL to deny the power of what some would call "woo-woo." Practical woo-woo. Sounds like a good book title!

How do you achieve epic goals AND keep your health and sanity at the same time?

Mindset is freaking HUGE. Does this all "resonate" with you? If so.. we are probably going to be a good match, and I would LOVE to meet you!!

01/11/2017

It's January. I know that New Year's Resolutions are on the OUT list, but the desire to feel free and alive and vibrant again is pretty strong in most of us.

The truth is what worked for you when you were 30 is probably not going to work for you now. This can be very frustrating.

This is why it is so important to consider what's happening to our HORMONES.

My mission is to help you discover what is worth focusing your precious energy on, which is healthy, FIRST and foremost.

The rest will follow. I say, NO MORE quick fixes!

Quick.. what are the words that come to mind when you think of the words "weight loss?" Keep it Twitter length. Go!

12/29/2016

Major shifts and changes are happening here! I'm excited! Stay tuned..

11/23/2016

I have not been here for a while, because honestly, Facebook Groups are where it's at. It's more intimate and fun. I get to interact with my clients there.

Want to join?

===>https://www.facebook.com/groups/getrealhealthandwisdom/

And..I have a gift for you.

Start in the next few days and you will get a little "advent calendar" of inspiration for my 30 Day workout challenge. This will take you to JUST past the solstice. What a great tradition to start for yourself!

I want to clarify.. this is NOT your typical "January-Get-Back-to-the-Grind" challenge. Who needs THAT in December? This ALL about feeling REALLY good this month. It's very low-key and FUN. (Perfect for this time of year)

oh, and it's FREE.

I have found that in the past, having a plan to move EACH DAY helped me enjoy the season even more.

Don't wait for January!

For those in my Fall Refresh hormone reset, we are entering the official "reset" phase. Mindset isn't always about struggle or fighting against ourselves.

As a matter of fact: Think of something you want to accomplish this week. HOW can you get it done, in the easiest, most automated, no-brainer, auto-pilot mode?

09/22/2016

Never thought I would see the day in which I would write a blog about weight loss, but here it is. It's the real deal.. no quick fixes. The things that are usually missing from most "weight loss" articles and blogs.

And part TWO is already written, so go pour a cup of coffee and enjoy!

This blog starts out as an “aggregate” (combination) of the typical woman I work with, (Including myself!) in my clinic. Let’s call her Sandy. She’s frustrated. Last year, she could simply go to the gym, eliminate “carbs” and this would get rid of the extra fat on her body, and she didn’t seem to…

My motto is LIFE IS SHORT.

That means.. stop waiting. Stop waiting until:

The kids are back in school

My out of town guests leave

When "life settles down" and I "Have a routine"

When I have more energy

When I lose 10 lbs

When I have more money.

No. TODAY.

Things are never going to just get easy, and the best time to work on long-range goals isn't just when it's convenient.

Spend at least one hour each day. For me, it's mornings.. working on your weekly plans.

Spend a few hours EACH WEEK working towards your long-range goal. This is how we MAKE things happen.

Need an example? Ok. I want to write for the Huffington Post. I reflect and mediate every morning, or read about how to get accepted as a writer.

And each week I make sure I take action towards that goal.

Now, think about what you want to do for this week, this month, and this year. Because Life is short and goes by DAMN fast. Make sure you make room for what you LOVE.

09/06/2016

This is something I'm becoming more mindful of myself. I really try not to fall into the typical "traps" that lead us nowhere.

Here's my gift for all of you that work so hard in life. Hang in there, It's not all for nothing!

August 15, 2016 in Fitness by julieodlerprimetime Are You Working TOO Hard? Getting OFF the “SHOULD” Rollercoaster Recently, a few women have come into my clinic feeling drained and exhausted from going to the doctor. And they work hard. DAMN hard. In all areas of their lives, including health. Bu...

One of the things I do is integrate acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and educational programs that people can do at home (Videos, guides, handouts, worksheets, homework, coaching groups, etc.) which greatly enhances success.

Here's something from one of my Hormone Reset clients/patients:

"As a 58 year old woman and avid outdoor enthusiast I was searching for something to keep me in optimum shape so that I could continue to do what I love well into my later life. I was tired of the Western approach to medicine and of non-caring doctors who are at the ready to prescribe another pill to treat your symptoms without ever really investigating their root cause.

I was amazed at how good I felt and how much better my body was functioning. The results were exactly what I was looking for: post-menopausal symptoms diminished, aches & pains lessened, a better understanding of which foods may be negatively affecting me and a completely renewed feeling of overall well-being not to mention a 6 lb. weight loss. I continue to work with Julie and am now doing her Summer Hormone Reset program. I see her twice a month for acupuncture treatments and coaching and am thrilled with the results."

Deb K.

I really do LOVE working with people like Deb! This is what it's all about.. :)

Here's to my extraordinary patients and clients!

I know you guys also know that right after this little speech it may be time to get off the mountain. :) (Herman Lake off I-70 is still one of my favorite spots)

08/24/2016

I have some patients that do some pretty cool things.. like rock climbing and drumming. We go DEEP to get to the root cause of their pain.. so they can KEEP doing the things they LOVE, for a long time to come!

Elbow pain isn't always what we think it is. It is often self-diagnosed and improperly addressed. Fortunately, it is NOT difficult to treat with the right approach.

Like and Share. :)

I got inspired by Katie Bowman's podcasts about feet and biomechanics. (I'm a nerd, too) and she said something that really struck me:

That this whole "fitness and wellness thing" doesn't have to be so heavy or a chore. Studying it and practicing it can be a "Happy-making thing."

I encourage you this week, to think about ways to make it all a little more fun. Read a book about fitness and apply it to your "laboratory of life." Do some barefoot yoga on the grass, do a playground workout, go for a hike or swim. Don't worry about results, just simply enjoy! It's summer!!

(And if you want to check out my blogs on julieodlerprimetime.com to give you some ideas, feel free!)

I'll be at Natural Grocers tomorrow..(Saturday) Mission Trace, at Wadsworth and Hampden, at NOON. I will be going deep into how to navigate the cosmetics, personal care, and cleaning products out there to help you make well-informed decisions. (With my usual dash of nerdiness and fun) I'm excited! See you there..

There are many toxic chemicals in common household, cosmetic, and personal care products that could not only be making you sick, but are sapping your energy and preventing you from looking and feeling your best. This talk will help you navigate products that are just as effective as (and often cheap...

Yikes, I want to do a live broadcast. I'm going to declare it before a choose a topic.

But I need your help. I'm putting this question out to YOU. What are your burning questions about Chinese Medicine as a part of an overall functional health strategy?
