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.
This mission is a tale of (at least) 2 significant American qualities.
1. It was the third mission to the moon, and many people had become bored; it did not get the same attention from the public as earlier NASA flights.
2. The unexpected occurred, and because of courage, persistence, ingenuity, expertise and the ability to think out of the box, the three astronauts came back to Earth safely.
What does this have to do with wellness?
1. Our bodies are miraculous machines, but do require attention- they need to be given the right building blocks and environment to thrive. Too many people have become complacent, listening to advertising, eating processed foods, etc, and surrendering personal responsibility for a robust healthspan.
2. Many people who advocate for wellness using lifestyle and other non pharmaceutically based approaches are considered dangerous, or foolish.
"Houston we have a problem"---
The Apollo 13 mission got our attention when catastrophe struck, and we were captivated by the drama .
We have a health crisis today.
We also have solutions that are right here- right now.
Carpe diem- like the Apollo 13 ground and flight crew.
Lead your own health team.

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.
