Brain Function: The Mental & Emotional Connection

I believe that in the achievement of good health, it is necessary to nourish, balance, and cleanse the major systems of the body. Equally important is the strengthening of the nervous system. In Chinese medicine, it is believed that the focusing of MENTAL ENERGY PRECEDES a focusing of PHYSICAL ENERGY. I sincerely believe this because of personal experience in my recovery from a diagnosis of permanent brain damage. More precisely, I had learned that a powerful mind led to a powerful body.

The Power of a Relaxed Mind

A calm mind brings focus, clarity, and balance. Relaxation not only reduces pain and tension but also boosts confidence, optimism, and sleep quality. When your brain is in harmony, it supports emotional stability and helps break unhealthy cravings—whether for food, substances, or habits.

The Pace of Healing

Every body heals differently. Some feel immediate changes, while others progress gradually. Allowing your body to heal naturally—without force or anxiety—creates a more sustainable path to recovery.

My Mission Statement

My Mission Statement

We face an epidemic of emotional and mental imbalance. My mission is simple: to inspire better nutrition and awareness of what harms or heals the body and mind—empowering true wellness from within.

The Vicious Cycle of Poor Nutrition

Poor eating habits, such as eating high-calorie and low-nutritional-value foods, in themselves, are not a behavioral problem; however, they do create a vicious cycle: poor eating makes people MORE inclined to eat poorly. In my belief, this results in atrophy of the taste buds. The body then requires foods containing higher amounts of fats and sugars for stimulation and energy production. When the body is properly nourished, there is a natural source of energy and well-being from within.

A similar pattern is being followed by the use of pharmaceutical drugs when we experience a health crisis. The use of pharmaceuticals substitutes for what the body is not capable of doing on its own. This introduction of an outside element is meant to treat the symptom(s).

Eating disorders are treated on an emotional level (among other approaches) through counseling. However, research done on rats has proven that when the mineral zinc was removed from their diet, they then developed poor appetites. It has also been discovered that zinc plays a key role in taste and smell. Another factor relating to a lack of appetite is a lack of folic acid, which also can lead to depression and paranoia. Do not be deceived by this information, however, because there are even more vitamin and mineral deficiencies that can cause the same or similar problems, thereby causing confusion.

Symptoms of a Sluggish Liver

Weakened colon cleansing, such as impaired elimination, can result from a sluggish liver and is linked to various health issues:

  • Bad Breath
  • Heart Problems—Irregular or Rapid Heartbeat
  • Brain Fog
  • Constipation/Diarrhea

  • Heavy Yeast Growth
  • False Heart Attack
  • Hepatitis
  • Fatigue
  • Indigestion


  • Fluid Retention
  • Migraine Headaches
  • Excess Ammonia
  • Skin Problems—Rashes, Acne
  • Headaches
  • Weakened Immunity

The Power of Emotional Release

Toxins accumulate in the liver and must be excreted via the kidneys and the colon. Most important, in my opinion, is that what affects the brain most certainly affects the heart. I have seen people who are experiencing an emotional "heart sickness". If you’re feeling sad, let yourself feel it, but do not dwell upon it. Just be sad, and cry if you can. Crying is the best way to alleviate the heartbreak that can lead to heart issues.

Benefits of Strengthening the Major Systems of the Body

  • Digestion (Assimilation – Elimination)
  • Respiratory (Lungs)
  • Endocrine (Glandular – Hormonal)
  • Immunity (Lymphatic)
  • Circulatory (Blood – Urinary)
  • Digestion (Assimilation – Elimination)


The process of digestion interacts with many organs on a crucial basis. Strengthening digestion allows improvements to multiple symptoms such as belching, excessive fatigue, acid reflux disease, insomnia, joint and muscle pain, skin disorders—even sugar cravings!

A Healthy Heart Starts in the Mind & Body

An irritated valve has become quite commonplace, which leads me to believe that all valve problems have pretty much the same cause and correction. Symptoms include abdominal pain, anorexia, bloating, constipation or diarrhea alternately, flatulence, intolerance to certain foods, mucus in the stool, hemorrhoids, and nausea. This may be accompanied by severe headaches and vomiting. I believe the body is sending us messages of its irritation. This requires us to take the action of ridding the body of the accumulated toxic waste and poisons. Once again I will repeat that substitution is the covering-up of these symptoms—in which case they will never leave while continuing to worsen. The unfortunate part of this scenario is that the symptom may change, which can fool us into believing we have rid ourselves of that symptom while it has simply changed its appearance.
