Mother and Daughter's Retreat, October 9-11, 2015, Santa Cruz, California

Maintaining a healthy body composition is essential to achieving optimal health outcomes. Body fat percentage, muscle mass, and bone density are just a few factors that contribute to body composition, and advanced body composition analysis techniques can provide a more thorough understanding of these factors. In functional medicine, body composition analysis is an integral part of the diagnostic and treatment process. In this article, we will explore the benefits of advanced body composition analysis techniques, such as DEXA, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and 3D body scanning, and their role in functional medicine.

Managing chronic illness can be a daunting task, especially if conventional medicine has been unsuccessful in providing relief for your symptoms. However, there is hope in the form of functional medicine. This approach to healthcare looks at your body as a whole system, rather than just addressing individual symptoms. Here are some of the benefits of functional medicine for chronic illness management.

Last Friday, my children and I picked Daddy D up at the train station. We see him walking at a distance and see that he is carrying something.

- Is it a flower? says V.

- No, I don't think so, I reply.

- You didn't ask him to buy a flower, Mum, so it's probably something else, says O.

It was something else he came carrying. It was not a flower.

It's almost the weekend again. I'm going offline. All weekend. It will be so nice! The computer will not be used and the phone will be on flight mode. I wonder if I can do that?

Thought of the day:

Do you ever go offline?

This article is part of The 50 day challenge, where I challenge myself to write an article a day for 50 days! The articles can be about anything, short or long, but I can't miss a single day!

What a neat word, energy creatures! We live in a world full of energy and we ourselves are also part of that world.

Earlier today, during a work project, I really felt how this energy clearly can change and how quickly it can happen. For a few days we have been sitting 10 people in a large office and there has been a very positive energy, despite a boring project. We've been working on it and somehow made the boring feel okay. Now, as the project draws to a close, we are suddenly told that we will not be reimbursed for the last day. Because we have worked so well, the tasks will end earlier than expected. When this news reached us in the office, it was as if the air had completely gone out of the room. You could almost feel the energy. Everyone started to work more slowly, the positive spirit just disappeared and no one felt motivated to do a good job anymore. The damage was already done when the employer found out how we, who were working, were taking it all. Despite attempts by the employer to repair the damage, it made no difference to the energy in the room.
