Sometimes it is not food or supplements that we need but instead living and breathing our truth.  Today I share some inspiration from guest blogger Amanda Moxley.  Amanda and I are friends, colleagues and business building buddies.  We met at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and I am forever blessed to have her in my life.

“Live In Your Heart, Not Your Head!”
by Amanda Moxley

Did you know that the magnetic field of your heart is 5,000 times stronger than the brain’s magnetic field?  I learned this last week at a seminar with Gregg Braden – a scientist who links spirituality with science in a fascinating way.

If you are like most of us, you are in your head WAY too much!  My coach’s challenge for you from today forward is to begin living in your heart rather than your head.

Here are some tips to get you started:

1) Do only what FEELS good.

2) Get quiet, close your eyes, relax, breathe and focus on something you are grateful for, appreciate or care about for 3 minutes, multiple times a day.

3) Break up with your ego.  Stop comparing, criticizing, blaming, feeling guilty, “shoulding” on yourself, worrying, doubting and living in fear.

4) Focus on what you are truly committed to creating.  Visualize it, sense it, allow it to come to you while taking the necessary steps to manifest what you are committed to.

5) Continuously get out of your own way, stay in service in passion to your heart’s desire.

6) Forgive and let go.

7) Breathe and be in the present moment.

We are a very exciting time in the history of the world.  You have two choices in every given moment: to choose fear (false evidence appearing real) or to choose LOVE.

What do you choose?  Let’s all live in love in our hearts!  Remember that your heart’s magnetic field is 5,000 times stronger than your brain!  The heart is the first organ to develop in a human body.  Your heart is powerful beyond measure so please USE it!  It all starts with you!

Have you ever wondered how much good your supplements are doing to your body?

For a limited time, I am offering a F.R.E.E. analysis of the supplements that you are currently taking.  In this analysis I will be looking at the strength of the brand and the ingredients including any fillers.  I have absolutely NO ties to any supplement companies (however I do have some favorites!) and do not belong to any multi-level marketing companies so you can be assured that my analysis will be fairly straightforward.  Continue reading for this very special offer that I think will open your eyes to the lack of quality control that exists today in the health industry.

Magical Multivitamin?

Taking a multi-vitamin is a good idea or…is it?  What if your multi contains food colorings; possible allergens like soy and dairy; or does not contain what the ingredient label says it does?

The plain truth is that the supplement industry greatly lacks manufacturing standards.  Often there is little quality control so that what they say and market to be in your product is not actually there.  Or if it is there, it is in such small amounts that it won’t actually do much if anything for you except drain your pocketbook.

Major Confusion Abounds

Making smart decisions around your supplement purchases is tricky.  Who can you trust?  Does the health food store have any better supplements than your local pharmacy?  Maybe your hairdresser now sells supplements and you are thinking about giving those a try because they are touted as the best of science.  No matter what, you need to do your research first to make sure they are safe and contain bioactive ingredients.  Just like you would want the best fuel for your car and quality food for your body….your supplements must also be superior, not just the latest and greatest claim but something that works & is helping you be at your best health.

You want to know that the bottle you pick up today is going to contain the same nutrients that you had in the bottle that you purchased six months ago. Sadly, incorrect amounts can happen…often.

Powders, Pills, Capsules & Tablets

If you are taking any type of supplement, I’d be happy to give it a viewing and let you know my thoughts.  I don’t have all of the answers and I definitely don’t know every company out there BUT I do have a general idea of what to look for.  And my special limited time offer will help you to start learning what to look for yourself.  If I can, I’ll even recommend a better alternative.

These alternatives may be professional brands (meaning ones you can only get from a nutritionist, doctor, RD, etc) just because many of these (not all!) tend to have a much higher rating in terms of quality control.  But I am in no way here to sell you product.  Instead I am here to help you get better nutrients into your body and have thriving health.

Offer & What I’ll Need From You

In order to take advantage of this limited offer, please send me the following information OR email me for a form that includes all of the information that I will need from you:

Up to 2 products (no more please!) that you would like me to review.  Again, these can be capsules, tablets, or powders (like whey protein).

Send me the name of your product and ALL of the information contained on the label.  You might be able to peel the label off and scan me a copy.  If not, you’ll need to type this information out for me.

Please also let me know why you are taking this product.  What is your motivation? Was it recommended to you by a doctor or other practitioner? Do you notice a difference taking this product?  How often do you take it?  Are you on any medications and if so, which ones?  What other supplements are you taking with this?  How long have you been taking this?

Deadline for the offer is June 30th so be sure to send everything in by then. I will try to get back to you within 7 days of when you send your information in but this will depend on the response I get.

What You’ll Get Back From Me.

I will send you back  my own thoughts on the product based on what I already know through my training & what I find doing additional research (if needed).  I will also include tips for what to look for if I feel that you need a better product.  And,  if possible, I will suggest an upgrade suggestion to what you are currently taking

Please note: I am just making suggestions and recommendations.  I am not diagnosing or giving you a prescription.

If you have any questions regarding this offer, please post here.  And if you want the whole world to see my response/analysis, you may also post everything here.  I am happy to share my thoughts with everyone.  In fact, if I get a good turnout, I may select a few as examples for a future blog with your permission.
