What makes spring so beautiful for many people leads to misery for those who suffer from seasonal allergy symptoms. Natural allergy treatments can be as effective and, in many cases, more effective than allergy medications, and they do not cause fatigue. 

​Fresh cut grass, blooming trees and flowers, and weeds release pollen, causing seasonal allergies.





UNDERLYING CAUSES OF ALLERGIES
Did you know that your risk of suffering from seasonal allergy symptoms increases dramatically if you have certain underlying medical conditions? Asthma, unmanaged STRESS, deviated septum, nasal polyps, recent trauma or illness, pregnancy, and even food allergies can put you at heightened risk.
These conditions, and others, can adversely affect your immune system functioning. Allergy symptoms are caused when our bodies release histamine in response to an allergen. A strong immune system is key to fighting seasonal allergies.
Allergies are actually disorders of the immune system. The body over-reacts to harmless substances and produces antibodies to attack the substance. This is what causes the symptoms. 
You’re particularly susceptible to a weakened immune system after a physical trauma or surgery, underlying illnesses, or during times of emotional and physical stress. A lack of sleep can even make you more prone to allergies; not getting enough sleep weakens your immune system. 

Foods to increase:

• Vitamin C and beta-carotene found in berries, dark green vegetables and numerous fruits contain the main antioxidant found in our respiratory passage and therefore these foods can offer relief from hay-fever symptoms by having a possible antihistamine and anti-inflammatory effect.
• Essential fatty acids: Foods rich in Omega-3 oil such as oily fish, nuts, seeds and their oils are recommended for fighting allergy symptoms. They contain prostaglandins, hormone-like chemicals with anti-inflammatory properties. As nuts are a fairly common allergen, please make sure you are not allergic to them first!
• Ginger and peppermint can also have an antihistamine effect and offer relief from allergy symptoms.
• Garlic and onions, kale and broccoli are sources of quercetin, another powerful anti-inflammatory that can reduce allergic symptoms. Garlic and onions also boost the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells, which deal with allergic reactions. Quercetin can also be found in blue-green algae, spirulina, chlorella and kelp.
• Bromelain in pineapple is useful in boosting the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins.  
• Consider taking a tablespoonful of local raw honey every day starting a few months before the pollen season starts - this may act as a form of oral desensitisation (the honey will have been contaminated with pollen).
• Bone broth,
• Probiotic-rich foods
• Grass-fed beef, wild caught fish, free-range poultry (growth hormone/antibiotic free)
• Hot and spicy foods
• Fresh fruits and veggies

Foods to avoid: 

• Wheat, dairy (cow A1 casein), soy
• Alcohol, caffeine, 
• Chocolate
• Peanuts, Sunflower seeds
• Sugar, Artificial sweeteners
• Processed foods
• Melons, Bananas, Bottled citrus juice, dried fruits
• Cucumbers
• Shellfish
• Echinacea
• Chamomile                                                                                 
•  **If you have a ragweed allergy, it’s important to avoid melons, bananas, cucumbers, sunflower seeds, echinacea and chamomile, as they can trigger allergic response in your system. The overall goal of limiting foods that you have sensitivity to is to lighten the overall burden on your immune system and allow it to function more optimally.

​One of the most common things clients say to me is "I can't sleep." Up to 30–50 percent of the general population is affected by acute (short-term) insomnia at any given time, and up to 10 percent have chronic insomnia that lasts more than several months.
What is insomnia exactly? Having insomnia is another way of saying that you can’t fall or stay asleep. The definition of insomnia is “habitual sleeplessness or the inability to sleep.” Everybody struggles to get a good night’s sleep now and then, but insomnia is different because it’s an ongoing problem that causes sleep disruption despite someone having the chance to get good sleep (for example, you can’t stay asleep even though you lay in bed for many hours at night).
Not only does having insomnia cause sleep deprivation and most often day time fatigue, it can also cause a number of other physical and mental problems. People dealing with insomnia commonly report feeling anxious, depressed, moody, more hungry, lack of energy and frustrated that they can’t concentrate or perform at work or in school. 

SYMPTOMS: 
To understand what is insomnia, it’s important to find out the most common insomnia symptoms. These include: 

• Difficulty falling asleep or waking up frequently during the night.
• Feeling stressed while trying to sleep, which usually means laying in bed with racing thoughts.
• Feeling exhausted/fatigued during the daytime. This can cause poor concentration and focus.
• Low moods, irritability and difficulty with social interactions.
• Reduced quality of life and increased risk of developing depression, obesity and cardiovascular disease. In fact, some studies show that adults with insomnia are almost four times as likely to become depressed compared to those who don’t have insomnia.
• Decreased job performance and higher risk for motor vehicle crashes, work-related accidents and other occupational errors.

CAUSES:
Not being able to sleep is highly tied to stress and changes in hormone production and neurotransmitter levels in the brain known to be involved with sleep and wakefulness. Some of the most common reasons that someone might develop insomnia include: 

• Unhealthy “sleep habits”, such as staying up late to work or watch TV. Drinking alcohol and caffeine or eating sugary/processed foods close to bed time can also disrupt sleep.
• Not sleeping in a very dark or cool enough room. Artificial lights in your bedroom and heat can both keep you up at night.
• Dealing with chronic stress or acute stress due to certain life changes or circumstances.
• Changes in your environment, such as from moving or traveling.
• Not having a regular sleep-wake routine. For example, shift work can disrupt sleep because it interferes with your body’s circadian rhythm. We get the best sleep when we wake up and go to sleep at roughly the same time each day.
• Having a mental health disorder such as anxiety or depression. 
• Being sick or dealing with a health problem that causes digestive issues during the night.
• Chronic pain that makes it hard to get comfortable, such as low back pain, arthritis or neck pain.
• Sleep apnea and other breathing problems.
• Limb movement disorders.
• Taking certain medications (such as psychotropic drugs), such as those that cause increased heart rate, nervousness, frequent urination at night, etc. This can include drugs used to treat colds, nasal allergies, high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid disease, birth control, asthma and depression.

INSOMNIA REMEDIES:

1) Stop eating at least two hours before bed. At supper consume foods high in tryptophan, such as turkey, chicken and tuna.  They make you sleepy. .  Add healthy fats to your meal, such as flaxseed oil, olive oil, or avocados as they keep you full longer. 
2) AVOID caffeine, alcohol, sugar and smoking. Caffeine makes it impossible for your endocrine system to balance and alcohol and sugar will spike insulin which will then can cause hormonal imbalance. Have complex carbs/vegetable carbs such as butternut squash, parsnips, sweet potato. Smoking is a stimulant and messes with hormone levels. 
3) Get to bed between 10 and 10:30.  Your adrenals regenerate during 10:00 pm and 12:00 am. If you go to bed later, your adrenals can become exhausted and therefore cannot lower cortisol levels very well. High cortisol will not allow melatonin to build in the evening, preventing you from feeling sleepy and getting a good night's rest. 
4) Keep you room cool, and dark, comfortable cool clothing and comfortable mattress.
5) Avoid watching TV and using electronics, that are visual stimulants, especially those that emit blue light. This doesn’t just include the TV screen; it also includes your computer, iPad or your smartphone, which too often reside next to people’s beds. That blue light actually tells your pineal gland in your brain that it needs to keep running, so it messes with your circadian rhythms and cortisol levels and keeps you from falling asleep at night. Ideally you should shut off all electronics an hour before bed. Many devices also feature a mode that reduces blue light.  I recommend using that in the evenings from 7 pm on. 
 6) Reduce Stress!  Read quietly, have a warm bath, use castor oil packs for an hour or more.  They help you go from sympathetic mode (fight and flight) to parasympathetic mode (rest and digest). Avoid talking on the phone or getting into heavy conversations a few hours before bed. 
7) Exercise.  Try getting 30 minutes of exercise 4-5 times/week.  Avoid exercising within 2 hours of going to bed as it increases cortisol levels.
8) Take good quality supplements.  Most people are deficient in Magnesium. Taking magnesium bisglycinate 40 minutes before bed can help you to relax and feel calm. If you take too much it may cause loose bowels so always go to bowel tolerance. (Not recommended if  you have Kidney Disease). Melatonin (spray works the best) taken 40-60 minutes before bed. More is not always better.  1-3 mg most often will do the trick.  I take a 1mg spray two hours before bed and another an hour before. Taking magnesium with the last spray of melatonin 40 minutes before bed has helped me the most.  Some people find that after they get back to a normal and healthy sleep cycle they no longer need it. Valerian Root is works well too, however, should only for short term use. (best taken in a tincture/drops).  
9) Essential Oils help to relax and calm.  Lavender and chamomile work very well. 
10) Try not to OVERSLEEP!

10 Warning Signs Your Gut is a Mess...
Poor gut health can be the cause of countless health complaints, including stomach aches, gas and bloating, skin issues, headaches, food sensitivities, weight gain or difficulty losing weight, bad moods (anxiety, depression), constipation/loose stools, fatigue and autoimmune diseases, just to name a few.

70% of your immune system is located in your gut, so poor gut health can lead to more frequent illness.

Up to 90% of your serotonin is made in your gut, so what you eat has a direct impact on your mood.

Your gut even has its own nervous system that's in constant communication with your brain. THERE IS A MIND-GUT CONNECTION.
​
Healing your gut can COMPLETELY TRANSFORM YOUR HEALTH, from your energy levels to your mood and everything in between.
WHAT CAN I DO???

Helping clients achieve RENEWED HEALTH . . . and find 
HOPE in their journey!​
Renewe​d Health & Nutrition Services specializes in Digestive Disorders, Allergies, Inflammatory Conditions, Chronic Fatigue, Hormonal Imbalances, Insomnia, Cancer Care​ and other diseases such as Autoimmune Conditions, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Healthy Eating, and Metabolic Balance Weight Loss.      ​

It is very difficult to get enough nutrients in your diet to support immune health.  Have you heard health practitioners say “you should get your vitamins and minerals from food?  You would have to eat 6000 calorie per day to ensure you are getting all the nutrients in that you need for your body to function properly.
WHY IS THIS:

• Monoculture Crops: Planting the same crop in the same place each year zaps nutrients from the earth and leaves soil weak and unable to support healthy plant growth. Because soil structure and quality is so poor, farmers are forced to use chemical fertilizers to encourage plant growth and fruit production.    
• Fertilizers and pesticides deplete nutrients in produce, not to mention make them toxic. Organic fruits and vegetables are much more nutrient rich, however due to monocropping they still lack nutrients.
• Most of our produce is not left to vine ripen, and therefore will lack nutrients and taste. Think of the rock-hard fruits in the grocery stores, like pears and green bananas. They have not been left to vine ripen and are deficient in nutrients. Have you noticed the difference in taste and texture between an organic strawberry, and one that isn’t?  You’ll be shocked!
• Processed foods are everywhere and are the cause of so many health conditions.  It’s easy to grab, and makes cooking faster…but is it worth it? 

WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS? 

• Grow your own organic garden.  Pick it fresh and eat it right away!
• Juice Plus+ Tower Garden (Hydroponics) *See website under products tab.
• Go to local farmers markets (it won’t be perfect of course, but fresher than what you find at the store where it has been transported miles from home).
• Eat whole foods…nothing packaged, processed, or fast food.
• TAKE SUPPLEMENTS! It’s the only way to ensure you are getting optimum doses of vitamins and minerals needed to prevent disease.  In my Holistic Cancer Practitioner course, I learned that cancer happens due to lack of nutrients and a toxic liver.  Eating foods that are cleansing and ensuring you are getting enough nutrients, are a great way to support your body’s health and prevent disease. 

SUPPLEMENTS TO SUPPORT:
Whole Food Supplements like Juice Plus+, ensure that you are get a large variety of fruits and vegetables…31 varieties!  They help to alkalize your body and boost your immune system due to the high amounts of antioxidants they contain.  The best thing about them is the vegetables and fruit are vine ripened and organic! 
Vitamin C and D supplements help to build a strong immune system.
Probiotics are needed for gut health.  If your gut isn’t healthy, then the rest of your body will not be healthy.  Did you know that a large portion of your immune system is in your gut?
Digestive Enzymes are primarily helpful in the digestion of foods and even with routine cancer eradication. They help your body to utilize the nutrients from your food and supplements.  Did you know that after the age of 25 your body does not produce as much pancreatin enzyme?  It’s needed to assimilate nutrients from the food we eat and aid in digestion.
I am happy to offer my family, friends, and clients my practitioner discount on supplements.
I place orders once a month and do not charge shipping unless you need an order placed separately.  You will receive a text message when they arrive, and you’ll need to pick them up at my home. Contact me if you would like to use this service.
