BC for beginners

  BC for beginners   I am not a medical doctor and I suggest you must talk all your concerns with your primary doctor / OB-GYN / parents. Although hormonal birth control options are great in nearly all cases, using them correctly can require a bit of planning. Starting birth control can bring about all sorts of bodily changes, and whatever method you choose needs to be used regularly in order to work properly.   The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends parents talk to their adolescents about how  not  having sexual intercourse is the best way to prevent STIs, HIV infection and pregnancy. However, these discussions should also address reliable contraception options. Pediatricians start talking about  sexual behaviors , birth control, and ways to  prevent sexually transmitted infections  (STIs) at about the 11-year-old checkup. They can provide or prescribe contraception in the office or give referrals to o...

  Wholetones: Healing with Ancient Frequencies You probably know how much music can affect your thoughts and emotions. But did you know that music also has a profound effect on your  physical health ? Even a single tone or frequency can have monumental healing effects, according to  Michael S. Tyrrell , musician, author, speaker and founder of  Wholetones: Healing Frequencies Music Project . The theme of our 2019 SHAPE Symposium for SHAPE practitioners was all about the brain and its connection to sleep, inflammation, addiction and emotions. We were honored and excited to have Michael as our keynote speaker. It was divine intervention how this came to be. SHAPE ReClaimed’s co-founder, Linda Frisch, shares the story: “I heard about Wholetones from a friend just after it came out in 2014. We were waiting for our husbands to finish at a seminar and she insisted I listen right then and there. I was so impressed at the peace I felt that I ordered the CD set immediately an...

What is Inflammation?

Image
  What is Inflammation? You may know that the  SHAPE Program  helps reduce inflammation. But, what exactly is inflammation? Inflammation is the body’s healthy response to injury or acute infection. If you break your arm, you want your body to send all of its efforts to that area so it can heal. With an infection, like food poisoning, your body creates inflammation to get that poison out as quickly as possible so that it doesn’t cause serious damage. This is why you have an inflammatory response! It can keep you alive and accelerate healing in certain situations. Inflammation becomes a problem when it doesn’t go away after a threat subsides or shows up when there’s no real threat at all. This is considered chronic inflammation, and it is one of the main underlying  causes  of many common symptoms and conditions. If you experience any of these, you are dealing with chronic inflammation:  Acne Anxiety Asthma Chest pain Cough    Depression  ...

Let’s Get Physical: Exercise and the SHAPE Program

  Let’s Get Physical: Exercise and the SHAPE Program Is it okay to exercise during Phase I of the SHAPE Program? Yes! That said, we always recommend light to moderate exercise over a strenuous exercise program. Exercise and Stress From a metabolic perspective, exercise can add stress to an already stressed-out body. Carrying excess weight can also make exercise hard on your joints, increasing your chance of injury and inflammation. A less obvious concern, however, is adrenal insufficiency (sometimes called “adrenal fatigue”). Your adrenal glands sit on top of your kidneys and secrete stress hormones like cortisol. If you’ve experienced trauma or been under too much stress over a long period of time, your adrenals can become tired, causing your body to adapt poorly to  stress . Exercise and Weight Loss Exercise has been shown to improve metabolism and help you shed excess weight. But when your body isn’t adapting well to stress, exercise can have the opposite effect. Your stres...
