Well Being Journal Magazine July/August 2017 Edición anterior

In our fourth issue of 2017 we present you with several articles on a range of topics including nutrition and genetics, environmental influences of autism and dental care. We start this issue off with an in-depth interview with Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN, NP, discussing the effects of unmanaged stress on the body and explaining that too much adversely affects the glands and immune system. She discusses lifestyle changes that can balance hormone production. Nasha Winters, ND, LAc, and Jess Higgins Kelly, MNT, provide a fascinating look at how much control we have over our health. They outline research findings showing not only that we play a central role in turning our genes on or off via lifestyle factors such as nutrition, avoidance of toxins, and stress management but also how to use these factors to repair our DNA. Shannon McRae, PhD, advocates for finding meaning in each moment of one’s life, no matter the current situation, whether one is ill or well, poor or wealthy, because finding meaning promotes peace and the flow of well-being. All of this and much more.
