FAQ

Q: So what is a Holistic Health Practitioner? Like what is it exactly that you do?

A: This is a great question! Let's break it down a bit. Holistic means that I am looking at a person as a whole, integrated being in the area of their health. When evaluating someone's health needs, I'm not just looking at one piece like the heart, or hormones, or skin or whatever they're wanting help with. I am looking at all the other parts of the body as a whole that have an affect on that part. I'm taking into account not just someone's symptoms, but the part of the body that is off balance enough to be causing those symptoms. I take into account my client's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing because all of these have an effect on our overall health. Once I put all the pieces together and see what is causing a client's symptoms, I make personalized recommendations for them. My recommendations are always something beneficial to the health of the client.

Q: So are you like a functional medicine doctor?

A: While what I do is similar to what a functional medicine doctor does in looking at my clients as a whole person, I am not in fact a medical doctor. I do not prescribe, treat, or diagnose disease. I make recommendations that will best benefit the body system that I feel is causing my client's issues of concern. Some recommendations may include things like incorporating more movement into the daily schedule, looking at eating habits, adding in supplements, making more time for sleep, drinking more water, eliminating toxins, journaling, emotional support, essential oils, tapping, etc. It just depends on what each person truly needs in order for their body to heal itself. My goal is always healing, never just covering up or stopping symptoms. With healing, symptoms will stop on their own.

Health Freedom Friday

I grew up taking my health for granted. I like to think I had a pretty typical childhood. Got my shots. Visited the doctor for check-ups. Took medicine when I needed it. Always finished my antibiotics, 'cause my mom was a nurse and that's what you did.

I wasn't in BAD health, but I wasn't exactly in good health either. I was overweight and lived life pretty sedentary. I preferred indoors to outdoors. I still adore food and eating for the sake of flavors. I never was diagnosed with any chronic conditions, so I never took medication regularly, just as I needed it. Over-the-counters (OTCs) for little stuff and then off to the doc for a prescription for everything else.

Then one day I went to visit my best friend and my sinuses went haywire, which was typical. What was not typical, I had forgotten my OTC at my house. She offered me an essential oil and in desperation I tried it. I needed to BREATHE y'all! To my surprise the crazy thing actually worked! Not only that, it worked better than the OTC I had been using.

That weekend became a turning point for me. I found myself drawn more and more to these little bottles of plant oils that seemed to help me more than the medications I'd been taking my entire life ever had. So I started making some changes. I started attending every training I could find. I was hungry to learn more and eager to share what I was learning.

I learned about intermittent fasting. Started loosing weight. Started cooking more from scratch and less from boxes and bags. Started switching out the products I used in my home to ones made more from plants and less from chemicals. I found that I was healthier in my 30s and 40s than I EVER was in my teens and 20s.

I felt like I needed to share what I was learning with others. I felt like I still had so much more to learn! I decided to get some formal training, so I went back to school to get certified. It took me 2 years of intense study to reach my goal of becoming a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and open Chrysalis Natural Health.

Here I am today still learning and implementing changes. Still working on improving my own health and the health of others. Still not satisfied to shrug my shoulders and say, "Well, I guess I'm just getting older." when something feels off. Still not content to just take someone's word for it just because they're an "expert". Not when it comes to my health, my family's health, or my client's health. I've learned to question more, to listen more, and to hunt for answers. I've learned to accept responsibility for how my own choices affect my health.

So, what's your health freedom story? Is your health where you want it to be?

So many times we treat symptoms as the problem. Symptoms are more like road signs that point to the problem.

For instance:
Cholesterol isn't your enemy. It's the band-aid your body is using to keep things working. Figure out why you need the band-aid!

When you take care of what is causing the symptom, the symptom will go away. We'd love to help! Call 501-269-7506 to make your appointment today.

Set your kids up for success in the mornings.

Instead of loading them up with processed foods laden with sugars and dyes, things that suppress the immune system and make it hard to focus, give them food that will feed their brains.

Here's one we've done recently:
Organic oats - organic so they're not sprayed with glyphosate right before harvesting 🤢🤢
Wolfberries - full of antioxidants to boost the immune system and fiber to help them stay full
Elderberry pancake syrup - for a bit of sweet and further immune support (Hey, the world is a germ factory right?!)
And a few raisins for extra flavor.

Remember real food is brain food. It should run, fly, swim, or grow, that's how you know it's real.

In fact here's a Blog post we did on the nutrition available in foods that you might like as well: https://chrysalishealthark.com/2023/02/24/is-food-really-less-nutritious-why/

Health Tip - Hydrating while sick

If you're anything like me, water is one of the last things you reach for when your throat is all scratchy and you're feeling like crud.

But your body NEEDS to stay hydrated. So what to do?

I find that when I'm feeling under the weather, more than anything I'm reaching for herbal teas. Specifically ones that will support my immune system, my respiratory system, and taste great!

Herbal Tea can be a bit of a mixed bag depending on what you put in it. I recommend ditching the sugar and drinking your tea with a bit of local honey for your sweetener. Unless you're one of those folks who can drink unsweet tea. More power to you. Sugar will depress your immune system (which means it won't work so well) which is the last thing you want when your body is fighting something.

Another thing I'll gravitate towards is soups, specifically homemade chicken noodle soup. Since I make my own bone broth, this soup is packed with good nutrition, it's nice and warm, and has plenty of clear(ish) liquid to help keep me hydrated.

One of the big things to keep track of, especially when you're feeling under the weather, is the color of your urine. If it's staying a nice, very pale yellow you know you're getting enough liquids. If it's looking dark though, make sure you up your liquid intake to help your body heal.

Not sure if a personal health consultation is right for you?
Listen to what others have had to say:

"More than meets the eye."

My name is Julia and I am a retired nurse. I worked over 30 years in the healthcare system and retired due to health issues. While visiting Jessica, whom I have known many years, my legs began cramping painfully. Nothing I tried was relieving the pain. She suggested applying a couple of essential oils and to my surprise the pain was relieved in less than 5 minutes. She definitely had my attention.

She loves to teach and explained to me about essential oils, their history, their benefits, where to purchase high quality oils, etc. She has always been easy to talk to and I found I was confiding in her more and more about my health issues. Her recommendations have been spot on. Migraines, there’s an oil for that. She also researched for causes of the symptoms, not just something to relieve the symptom. She recommended eliminating processed foods from my diet as they can be a source of migraines. I did as she suggested and now I rarely get a migraine.

When I was scheduled for surgery she researched oils for pain relief and oils to promote healing. Her suggestions worked very well. I love that she listens and is genuinely concerned about me. She will tell me if she doesn’t know something and will reassure me that she will do research for an answer. I plan to continue asking her for help with my health issues and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Is the healthcare system we have REALLY about healing?

I've been giving this some serious thought.

Our doctors are trained so see the body as separate parts. They're trained in the fine art of diagnosing illness and prescribing medications. They're trained in the art of cutting and stitching. They're trained to look at blood work. They're trained to look at other methods as nonsense. All of that training takes many long years. . .

But does the prescribing of medications actually bring healing? If it does, why do folks have to stay on these medications for the rest of their lives? Why do these medications have so very many side effects? If medication is our go-to, and it is ubiquitous, why do we need more and more and more to maybe get the same effect we once did? If medications bring healing, why are we still experiencing the same problems that we started with or more?

If the body has excess parts that need to be cut out in order for it to be healthy, why was it created with those parts to begin with? Do we truly understand their function? Was the part itself bad or was it just responding to something else that was wrong, perhaps for a very long time? By cutting out the part, are we also fixing the underlying problem?

Blood work is considered KEY to figuring out what is going on, but the body has very specific ranges where it needs to keep the blood. To that end there are LOTS of mechanisms that work hard to keep the blood within those specific ranges, until a problem has been going on long enough for the body to start running out of raw materials. And is blood really a good reflection of what is going on inside the tissues? Isn't the state of the body's tissues what we really need to know? Should we really be basing everything off of just one way of looking at the body?

If our healthcare system is really about healing people, shouldn't people be getting healthier instead of sicker? If health is for the young and aches and pains for the old, why am I feeling better in my 30s and 40s than I ever did in my 20s?

Perhaps we've all been sold a bill of goods.

Perhaps the body is more than just parts. Perhaps it's an integrated, self-healing system that is affected not just by what happens to it, but by the environment around it.

Perhaps healing is more complicated than just popping a pill or cutting out a part that isn't working properly.

Perhaps the body has needs that aren't being met, and that's part of the problem. It is self healing after all. As in, it heals itself. There's nothing I can do, as a 3rd party to make it heal. I can learn what the body needs and share that knowledge. I can encourage you in the re-balancing of your body's systems. I can be an accountability partner as you walk your healing journey. . . but there are no magic pills. Healing takes time, effort, energy, and raw materials.

Healing comes from our choices. Choose wisely.
