No one can care or know more about your body than you do.
The past year has shown how each of us is unique, and that it is a good idea to learn what will promote individual physical and mental health.
We’re building a community of people who are looking for more healing and less need for healthcare.
It is up to us to learn how to listen to messages , and perform ongoing maintenance so our body’s systems can keep us healthy and protect us from our environment.
I started Fearless Wellness in 2013, with the goal of helping people stay out of the health care system, by making the small changes that add up to promote health. This is more important now than ever. The past 18 months has taught us that what we do, what we eat, and how we approach our daily lives is our responsibility, and the most important thing to do to be well.
If you have not already done so, PLEASE- have your vitamin D level checked. In the integrated health world, we have been encouraging people to do this for years. We now have more and more compelling data on what contributes to low Vitamin D and the impact this has on health.
There is more to Vitamin D supplementation than just going to store and buying Vitamin D-
First step- find out your level. (Pro Tip: because Vitamin D is fat soluble, it is possible to take too much, and that is a bad idea).

Help your body take care of you by drinking enough water; if you have a persistent cough, an accessible, economical treatment is being well hydrated.
Think of the cilia in your respiratory tract as hairs that protect your lungs. They work best when well hydrated- your body uses the water you drink to hydrate essential parts, including the cilia.
There are other things that can help, but reaching for water first, before things get severe can be a good idea.
Our bodies have great abilities to adapt to too much or too little water; because of this, we can be complacent and not notice when improving the quality or having a glass of water instead of a different beverage can improve how we feel. Filtered water in a glass or stainless water bottle is healthier than a plastic bottle.
If you are feeling hungry, listless or tired, have a big glass of water and notice if you feel better, there's a good chance it will help.
