To live in harmony, you must digest in harmony

Humans digest more than just food, they digest life. When someone is not digesting life, they cannot digest food properly. When someone is not digesting food, they cannot digest life to the fullest. The purpose of the Digestive Garden is to assist individuals in identifying areas of life and/or diet that will optimize digestion of both food and life. Each person digests differently, there are set “standards” but ultimately everything is by individual experience. How individualized is digestion? It can be compared to driving. The body can be compared to the many different vehicles small, large, carrying extra cargo, 4 wheels, 3 wheels, 2 wheels, gas, diesel, electric, a little of both, low mileage, high mileage, the list can go on and on. Most vehicles have the same parts which can be compared to the digestive tract, when different parts are out of function it can create different issues with the vehicle engine, interior of the vehicle, or exterior of the vehicle. Just like when something is off in the digestive tract it can affect different parts of a person’s wellbeing. Then there are the drivers who operate the vehicles based on their own experiences of learning how to drive, age they learned to drive, any accidents they have been in, etc. which determines how a person drives from one place to another. The drivers can be compared to an individual’s experiences in life, the loses, gains, jobs, relationships, etc. it is how each person digests those experiences which decides how to move forward and live life fully. The Digestive Garden is about assisting in that movement.

What is a Holistic Health Practitioner? 

A Holistic Health Practitioner is a practitioner that uses a comprehensive approach with a wide variety of wellness techniques to help clients achieve their wellness goals. Holistic Health Practitioners do not focus on one singular part of the person, they focus on overall wellness and discovering the root cause of wellness concerns. 

What can a Holistic Health Practitioner do? 

Perform evaluations to determine root causes of potential and ongoing wellness concerns. Make recommendations in nutrition, lifestyle changes, herbs (NOT Marijuana), homeopathic remedies, home botanical remedies, and other non-conventional methods of healing.  

What can’t a Holistic Health Practitioner do?

Prescribe drugs or pharmaceuticals. Perform invasive procedures. Puncture the skin any more than a finger prick for screening purposes. Perform chiropractic adjustment or acupuncture.  Provide a conventional medical disease diagnosis or conventional treatment of a medical disease. Administer or prescribe x-ray radiation. Recommend that a client discontinue medical care or medical treatment prescribed by a Western medical licensed practitioner. 

What is Functional Nutrition?

Functional Nutrition uses a holistic approach in how each individual utilizes food. It looks at all aspects of a person’s life and how that relates to how food is obtained, digested, and absorb. The purpose of functional nutrition is to create a well-balanced approach using food to nourish all areas of life. 

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a health system that relies on the natural and holistic approach to wellness by healing from the inside out. It focuses on balance of the mind, body, and consciousness through proper drinking, diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies. It helps to eliminate impurities, reduce disease symptoms, increase resistance to disease, and create harmony with life.
