Following are the eight health hacks that I presented at the third Ignite Seattle. This Ignite was a blast- thanks to all who put it together!
Keep in mind that these are meant to be examples of some quick-acting natural approaches rather than representative of naturopathic treatment. Treatment plans are always more holistic and complex.
Overeating- Hoodia gordonii, 250-500 mg twenty minutes before a meal. Goes to the hunger center in your brain, telling you that you are full. You will eat less that meal, but you will still eat. It is not a stimulant.
Afternoon slumps- 15-20 grams protein in the morning balances blood sugar
Migraine- 150-200 mg Butterbur can avert a migraine in process. The products filter out toxins present in the whole plant.
Diabetes- Gymnema and other plants balance blood sugar. Gymnema on the tongue blocks sweet receptors.
Fatigue- B12/BComplex intramuscular injections. Feel energy boost right away.
Traveler’s Diarrhea- Probiotics like lactobacillis acidophilus can prevent or stop this condition. Yogurt does not provide enough for prevention or treatment, but is good for maintenance.
Smoking Cessation- Lobelia fills nicotine receptors, calms anxiety, and is a muscle relaxant. It can cause nausea if overdosed. The tincture tastes like a burnt cigarette and can be used as negative reinforcement.
Anxiety- California poppy, hops, oats, valerian, skullcap, passionflower all calm mental & physical symptoms.
