Health Warning Signs Your Body Is Giving You

Health Warning Signs Your Body Is Giving You

January 8, 2020 //  by Marian Mitchell//  Leave a Comment

From time to time, we can just know that there is something wrong with our bodies. As an example, it will be really obvious that something is wrong, if you suddenly feel severe chest pain or have a lot of bleeding that will need to be stopped quickly. But it is important to remember that we should be paying attention to some subtle changes with your body too. These things might be a signal that there is an underlying health problem, even if it doesn’t seem really obvious at first. So here are some subtle warning signs that your body is trying to tell you that not all is well and a trip to the doctor is needed.

Feeling tired all of the time

When you are feeling a little tired after a late night, you know that you just didn’t get enough sleep. But if you are experiencing some excessive tiredness, then it can be a symptom of a few different medical conditions. These could include things like depression, thyroid function problems, diabetes, and sleep apnoea, to only name a few. If you feel exhausted no matter how much sleep you get, then it is time to make some changes.

Unexplained weight changes

If you are strictly dieting or trying to bulk up with weight training and eating plenty of protein, then it will be clear why you have lost some weight or have gained some weight. A little extra after the holidays? It is obvious where it comes from. But if you are losing weight, or gaining weight, and there has been no deliberate changes to your diet or lifestyle, then a change in your weight could be a warning sign of something else. Weight loss is something that is of more concern, as it could point to things like cancer, depression, diabetes, and other serious illnesses. So it is worth seeking some medical advice if this sounds like something that you are experiencing.

Experiencing panic attacks

If you are experiencing panic attacks, especially if they aren’t a regular occurrence for you, then they can be a classic sign of things like stress, depression, and anxiety. It could be because of something that you know is going on. But as a rule, it is your body showing you that you need to change something or do something about how you are feeling. Some people can just get occasional attacks, and these can be because there are times in your life that are busy or stressful. But panic attacks in general can be an indicator of a more serious mental illness.

Ringing in your ears

If you are experiencing some hearing loss or experiencing some ringing in your ears, then it is something that could be an indicator that you need to speak to hearing specialists to see what they can do. It could be a sign that you are on the start of some hearing loss, a problem with your eardrum, or could be getting tinnitus, which is the ringing in your ears. So it is worth checking it out and then see what the experts start saying.

A lingering cough

If you have a cough that comes along with a runny nose, headache, and sneezing, then it is obvious that there is a cold or flu coming your way. But if you have a cough, and cough alone, then it could be a sign that you have something else going on with you. It could because of a benign condition like an allergy. But either way, you should never ignore a cough as it could be a sign of something more serious, like lung cancer or tuberculosis, so it is completely worth checking out if the cough has been lasting for a while.

Changes to bladder or bowel habits

There are some things that can happen to your body, like constipation or pain when you are going to the toilet, but sometimes that can be an indicator of something like constipation. But there are some signs that should be checked out, like a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection), IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), and even be an indicator of things like bowel cancer, digestive disorders, and something like ovarian cancer for women. 

Cracked lips

It is normal to get some chapped lips from time to time, especially in the winter. But if you get cracked lips more often than not, then it could be a sign that you have a vitamin deficiency. For example, if you have cracked skin at the corners of your mouth, then that tends to be associated with a lack of zinc and B vitamins in your diet.

A Few Simple Changes To Make

Drink half your body weight in water. Even mild dehydration can lead to headaches, dry lips, fatigue, and moodiness. It’s a simple fix that has a host of health benefits.

At every meal make half your plate vegetables. Overall in America, most people don’t eat nearly enough produce. Vegetables are one of the best sources of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. It’s an easy addition to any meal and will aide in helping you achieve all your health goals from weight loss, to clear skin, to reducing inflammation in the body.

Get moving. 30 minutes of movement every day adds up to a host of health benefits including improved sleep, mental clarity, pain management, and improved performance at work. A 10 minute walk 3 times per day is all you need to start experiencing benefits.

A low-mold diet is only complicated if you make it A low-mold diet is only complicated if you make it complicated. When you are clear on the basics, you can start making it work for you from there.

If you can't wrap your head around it, I have a meal plan and online coaching program that can help give you the jumpstart and tips you need to make it work. I also help you transition off the diet and back into a normal healthy eating lifestyle at the end of the 3 months! Learn more here: https://www.roadtolivingwhole.com/low-mold-diet-guide-meal-plan/

Working from home have you more sedentary than eve Working from home have you more sedentary than ever? You aren't alone!

I'm hearing this from friends and clients alike. They used to get at least 6000 steps in a day and now they are lucky if they get 2000. They are having more hip and back pain too. At the office the bathroom is a lot further away, we had meetings to walk to, lunches, etc. Now literally everything is often on the computer. How does one build movement into your day when there isn't much room to do so? I have a couple of suggestions:

1. Take a 10 minute break every hour or between tasks. Go for a quick walk around your building, do some stretches, go refill your water, do a quick HIIT workout, just get up out of the chair and give your eyes a break. This micro breaks will not only improve your physical wellness, they actually help you be more productive too!
2. Workout during what would have been your commute time. There are a lot of free and paid workout programs out there that are 10-60 minutes long. Replace your would be commute with a workout. There's no reason not to!

These are my suggestions. What have you been doing to include movement into your days?
Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrie Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrient dense pasta replacement. It does have a different, sweet flavor that I prefer to pair with a mild spicy sausage or spicy marinara sauce versus pesto or other sweeter sauce.

This quick dinner is just a couple of chicken or pork sausage cooked in the pot with olive oil and garlic, then add in kale and basil leaves plus a couple of cups of cooked and shredded spaghetti squash topped with salt to taste. It's a regular during the fall and winter months.

Healthy fats don't make you fat. Fat has been dem Healthy fats don't make you fat.

Fat has been demonized for years. The popularity of the ketogenic diet has brought it back into fashion, but there's still an innate pull to avoid it.

Did you know that studies since the 1950's have consistently shown that a diet higher in fat and lower in carbs (not ketogenic levels) reduces your appetite while also keeping you satiated? Also, those who eat this way consume 300-600 calories less per day without feeling hungry? Pretty dang cool.

Healthy animal fats are also one of the few sources of nutrients necessary to support the immune system including vitamins, A, D, E, and K2. 

Healthy fats include:
Butter (from pastured animals)
Egg yolks
Fatty fish
Coconut flesh and oil
Olives and olive oil
Avocado and avocado oil
Nuts, seeds, and their butters
Lard and tallow from pastured animals

I like to enjoy 1-2 servings per meal to keep me satiated all day long.
Mold toxicity while rare is often a root cause iss Mold toxicity while rare is often a root cause issue to many other health conditions including
autoimmune disease
migraines
joint pain and swelling
chronic fatigue
systemic pain and inflammation
chronic sinus issues
stubborn GI issues
and many more that nothing seems to help improve

Mold exposure typically happens in the home or office and the constant exposure slowly takes hold in the body. Once it takes hold, it is stubborn and is an extremely long process to get rid of. Typically you find out you have mold in your system through a blood test.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU TEST POSITIVE FOR MOLD
#1 Test your home
If you test positive, then you'll want to get your home tested. If your home has a mold issue, remediation is the best course of action versus trying to take care of it yourself. They will protect your AC system and the rest of your home so that the mold doesn't spread to new areas and continue making you sick.

#2 See a Knowledgeable Doctor
Secondly, you'll need to see a doctor well versed in mold toxicity (like Dr. Geyer) to get on a supplement plan to slowly add-in binding agents and ones to support your intestinal tract, liver, and kidneys during the detox process.

#3 Limit Mold Intake For 3-6 Months
This is where a low mold diet comes into play. You have to limit the number of mycotoxins entering your body through your food for 3-6 months so that you can starve the mold out instead of constantly replenishing it. This is an essential step in recovering from Mold Toxicity/Mold Illness.
I love when simple meets flavorful. Sometimes I'm I love when simple meets flavorful. Sometimes I'm amazed at how delicious just a few ingredients can truly be. This beauty is:
1 bag @traderjoes cauliflower gnocchi
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp pesto sauce
1/3 cup sliced sundried tomatoes
1/3 cup kalamata olives
1 cup cooked chicken breast cubed
1 handful arugula

Cook gnocchi according to directions, then add all ingredients except the arugula and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then fold in arugula and let wilt for 1-2 minutes. DONE!

Eating well is simple. It doesn't matter what food Eating well is simple. It doesn't matter what food sensitivities you have, gut issues going on, if you need to eat low mold, low histamine, low oxalate, need to avoid fructose, or have autoimmune disease, this is the foundation. From there it's just tweaks.
