Unfortunately with Omicron Dr. Armitstead has now seen enough post-COVID patients from various strains to create this podcast.  Good news is if you have gotten COVID and still feel off in any way she has some health tips to help you feel like your old self again.  

Post COVID or long haul COVID are the terms used when symptoms or signs persist for more than two weeks after COVID-19 onset.  Dr. Armitstead explains that symptoms can continue for months after and include fatigue, headaches, poor focus or attention, shortness of breath, and so much more.  Symptoms after having COVID-19 continue after the initial infection because the SARS-CoV-2 virus goes into the body causing more inflammation than the average virus.  The number one place that inflammation hits is the air ways and lungs because that’s how it gets into the body. Then Dr. Armitstead explains that the second place this virus hits is the liver and things you can do to boost up your immune system to reduce the inflammation while supporting the lungs and liver.  She also shares that the SARS-CoV-2 virus attacks the liver similar to the way the Epstein Barr virus (EBV) does to the liver and how they both attack the thyroid as well.  So please listen to this episode if you have a thyroid imbalance,  especially Hashimoto's, liver concerns or any other autoimmune disease for Dr. Armitstead shares her theory of all autoimmune diseases and it's not what you think.

Please share this episode with your friends and family so we can help each other post-COVID.

Who doesn’t love to sweat out toxins for better health?  Dry saunas and steam rooms have been used for centuries to help people feel better not just by the relaxation but by the heat allowing one to sweat out toxins and boost the immune system.  In this episode Dr. Armitstead explains what ozone is and how sitting in a personal steam pod that is mixed with ozone is the ultimate way to not only sweat out toxins but to also put extra oxygen in the body.   Ozone is a colorless gas made up of three atoms of oxygen (O3).  The oxygen in the air is O2 so when ozone gets absorbed into the body the extra oxygen atom easy breaks off and bonds to where it is needed in the body.  Your body can benefit in all sorts of ways if it has extra oxygen.  To help detox, Dr. Armitstead explains that the extra oxygen molecule bonds with sulphur compounds the way glutathione does.  In this way ozone helps take the burden off the liver by binding to toxic substances making them neutral in the body and no longer a toxin.  It also breaks up lactic acid, increases cellular respiration in muscles, speeds up recovery of damaged tissue and accelerates growth of muscle for those who have tight, sore muscles. She shares how ozone therapy improves blood circulation, improves vitamin and mineral absorption, fights inflammation, and is wonderful at killing mold, parasites, candida, viruses and bacteria that are stuck in your body. .

Taking care of your skin is not just about using the right beauty products. It’s about making sure your detox pathway are open and the liver is strong enough to detox properly so the skin doesn’t have to.  The skin is the largest detox organ the body has.  If you have any skin issue: acne, itchiness, rosacea, psoriasis, hives, eczema, etc. know that it is due to the body having trouble detoxing something.  To figure out what that something is we muscle test to get the biofeedback from the body.  We can identify 42 different heavy metals and 41 heavy chemicals that could be stuck in your body causing your skin issue.  

Healing the skin is an inside out job.  On the inside, if any toxin is not properly detoxed by finding it’s way to the liver and then broken down and moved to the intestine to be excreted then the body will push it out through the skin as another way of getting rid of the toxins. If too many toxins come through the skin then you start to see a reaction. We can help your skin by giving the body the right nutrition through diet and food supplements to open up detox pathways, support the liver and heal the skin. With the right nutrition the skin can heal.

PEMF is an acronym for Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field. PEMF therapy consists of a mat which emits pulses of energy waves.  Dr. Armitstead explains in this episode that PEMF energy courses through the body directly to inflamed or injured areas. The energy is also drawn to areas experiencing chronic pain.  The energy waves of the PEMF mat passes through the organs and tissues and into the cells of your body, amplifying the cellular energy. The increase in energy promotes a natural reaction that regenerates and enhances the efficiency of the cell’s function. This natural process stimulates healing and helps to improve your overall well-being including your mood. 

During a PEMF session you lay on the mat that produces the PEMF and the energy goes into the body without you feeling anything.  The energy is that subtle to not disturb the body’s natural process as it goes into the cells.  Besides giving cells energy it also helps increase blood flow which is also part of the healing.  With increased blood flow it is promoting an increase in the blood’s oxygen levels.  In causing the body to have more oxygen that’s how chronic pain and stiffness is reduced among other health benefits.

Dr. Armitstead explains how with 20 minutes of PEMF therapy  once a week for 6 weeks helps with conditions like fibromyalgia, muscle pain, arthritis, depression, anxiety, tinnitus, PTSD, Lyme’s, chronic fatigue and musculoskeletal pain.  PEMF therapy is a great option for natural, chemical free pain relief and overall wellness because it functions through cell stimulation. Stimulation at a cellular level helps boost the body’s natural ability to fight back against inflammation. PEMF therapy is so effective because it is able to penetrate through skin, muscle, and even the bone. The electromagnetic field helps fight back against cellular damage and inflammation, and rejuvenate and create healthier cells.  Healthier cells equals a healthier you!

Dr. Armitstead truly believes we create our lives.  We may not have control over everything that happens in our life but we do have control with how we react and the goal is to learn to make lemonade out of lemons in any situation.  One of the tools that has helped her do that is the Sedona Method.   Listen to this episode to learn to let go of worry and anxiety.  Yes, letting go is key.  Have you ever held onto a point of view that no longer served you? Have you ever held onto an emotion from a situation that you had no control over?  Have you ever held onto anxiety or tension even after the initial event that triggered it was long over?  It is this form of holding on that the Sedona Method helps with.  The Sedona Method teaches you not just a philosophy but actual tools you can use to let go.  Holding on and letting go are natural processes that occur all the time in life and the Sedona method helps bring our awareness to where we hold on too tightly, where we want control, and helps us let go in order to be happy.

When helping people heal we make sure the nervous system is working well. The nervous system isn't only the brain, spine and nerves but also the heart.  The HeartMath Institute researches how important it is to have the heart and brain neurologically working together to have less stress on the body.  In this episode Dr. Armitstead explains the 10 easy steps of the HeartMath solution that can help you manage your emotions and feel less stressed by getting you out of your head and into the heart where your true nature lies.   Emotional healing is just as important as detoxing the body and giving the body the right nutritional support.  It’s so important mind, body, spirit.  They are all connected.

Dr. Armitstead continues to  give tools on how to help with emotions and daily stress by explaining self sabotage.  It comes from our subconscious mind that holds our hidden beliefs that affect our daily life.  To get to these subconscious beliefs Dr. Armitstead uses muscle testing and a technique called Psych-K to help her patients live the life they want.  Another tool she shares is one she developed herself called Hopetance.  Hopetance is where acceptance and hope meet in a current situation to bring about clarity, wisdom and discernment.  She then goes through the steps one needs to do in order to have hopetance. The third tool she gives is called Emotional Freedom Technique or tapping where you tap certain acupuncture points to release stuck emotion in the body.

In this episode Dr. Armitstead explains how your emotions create biochemical reactions in your body leading to unnecessary stress on the body that can cause all sorts of health concerns.  She explains how emotions really are just energy that runs through the mind and body, communicating something to for you to become aware of.  She shows how thoughts are a choice  and you can choose happiness and that one of the tools to help is meditation but not just silencing the mind.  To get the full benefits try a full cycle of communication where you share whatever is on your heart and then listen to that inner voice.  In part 2 Dr. Armitstead gives more tools you can use to put your mind and emotions at ease and explains more about the subconscious mind and what hinders us from living our healthiest, happiest lives.

Water is so essential to life.  I wish I could put it in supplement form for my patients because many of them do not drink enough and when they do drink it tends not to be of quality.  If you don’t drink enough good quality water right now and you start I bet you that your overall health will increase by 10%, just by drinking water!  Trust me, staying hydrated is key to a healthy body.  In this podcast Dr. Armitstead explains the importance of drinking enough, good quality water, what water filters are best, why to stay away from plastic water bottles, how healthy water is when you add lime or lemon to it, why you want to drink water first thing in the morning and the health benefits of ozone water.  Listen to this podcast if you have bladder infections, digestion issues including constipation, blood pressure issues, joint stiffness, temperature regulating problems, or poor memory.  All those symptoms could be due not drinking enough, good quality water.

It is so important for health to detox. Healing Arts has a  podcast on heavy metals detox, heavy chemical detox, and even how to support the liver to detox.  Dr. Armitstead truly believes that health can be achieved if people give their body the right nutritional support and lifestyle changes to get rid of toxins.  Yet, the number one thing that gets in the way of the body to heal itself given the right nutrition and support is stress.  Over the years Dr. Armitstead has learned that helping patients with their stress, anxiety or depression is so important so in this podcast she explains what you can do to help your anxiety and depression by bringing your awareness to your daily choices and stressful thoughts and how stuck emotions cause us to self sabotage and go into addictions.  To help with stress surrendering is important and Dr. Armitstead shares how to do that; give life 100% and yet surrender at the same time is important for a happy life.

There are 7 main energy centers in the body, known as chakras. Dr. Armitstead explains that  each chakra has a certain location, color and correlation to specific body parts, mental thoughts and emotional moods. When the energy center, or chakra, is blocked or weak physical or emotional dysfunction can occur. When we release the blocked energy it can undo tightness, stiffness, or malfunction in the body or the mind. There are different ways of releasing the energy including movement, wearing colored glasses and more!   Since Dr. Armitstead is a chiropractor and she is all about releasing stuck energy in the spine, joints and muscles of the body to help patients it was only a matter of time before she started to release blocked chakra energy in her patients as well.  Listen to this podcast if you are interested in learning more about chakras, how to heal energy and want better mental and emotional health.

Your body uses electrical signals to accomplish every vital function  to maintain your health, from your heartbeat and brainwaves to cell growth and sensory perception. Electrical waves flow throughout your entire body, generating electric current that in turn generates biologically relevant magnetic fields. Thus, you are an electromagnetic being, and the EMF’s or electromagnetic fields measurable in your body confirm this. Western medicine, in fact, relies on these measurements for many of their tests, from the electrocardiogram (EKG) to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

As an electromagnetic being, it is not hard to understand that exposure to powerful and unnatural electromagnetic radiation can affect your body, and therefore your health. Electronics are with us everywhere we turn and the amount and complexity of what we encounter is growing at a startling rate. With so much attachment, ease and connection to our devices what we have failed to notice is the effects it has on our body.  Dr. Armitstead explains in this episode how radiation toxicity can cause fatigue, eye soreness, headaches, migraines, insomnia, brain fog , memory loss, cancer and more.

With 5G now coming into the picture what does that mean for our health and what steps can we do to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

In this episode Dr. Armitstead explains how the adrenal glands and specifically the hormone cortisol, have so much power over our functioning. When the adrenal glands are working properly they offer balance – providing us with energy when we require it, and helping us feel relaxed when it’s time to rest. The burden is great on our adrenals, and they can become impaired under the heels of long term stress. Dr. Armitstead shows you how  you can make small choices that can dramatically impact their functioning for the better. She goes into details of what good nutrition, exercise, relaxation, and sleep our adrenal glands need to heal and shows you by reducing stress levels, our adrenal glands will work in harmony with us, and our energy and vitality will be renewed.  Always remember on your healing journey, be compassionate with yourself  and your body, knowing your only goal is to make better choices than yesterday and that we are here to help.

In this episode Dr. Armitstead shares how prevalent parasite infections are in America,  what symptoms they can cause and what herbs are best to take and how to take them.  Because other doctors aren't trained to look for parasites and medical testing isn't thorough Dr. Armitstead by default treats lots of people with parasite infections in her office.  If you are having trouble sleeping, fatigue, or mood swings it might be due to parasites.  If you are having trouble with your bowel movements or bloating it could be parasites.   When you go to your MD these types of complaints are considered manageable and if treated, they are treated usually with over-the-counter medication to only get symptom relief without addressing the real issue.  Dr. Oz says that 90% of Americans will have a parasite problem at some point in their lifetime. I tend to agree.

Weight loss can be a tricky thing for a lot of people because it is hormonal based.  If you want to lose weight there are 3 phases to doing it in a healthy way. The first phase is the transition to restore metabolism. Once that is established then the second phase is when the body starts losing weight. The third and final step is to maintain optimal health and keep the weight off. Dr. Armitstead explains in this podcast how your hormones will change in response to the nutrition and lifestyle changes that you'll make. Your body will also rebuild at the cellular level with nutrients that were not available during previous poor habits. The more damaged the current metabolism, the longer it will take for this process to be complete. Once someone has healed their metabolism, only then they are primed to lose fat and move on to phase two.  You will learn why some people take longer than others to lose weight.  Those that take the longest are said to be weight loss resistant.
