If I hear one more time that walking is the best way to lose weight, I might throw a medicine ball at the dumbbell who says it. Don’t get me wrong, walking is better than sitting on your couch watching TV both in terms of fat loss and your health but after your body adapts to it, it provides little stimulus for fat loss. Any exercise is beneficial for your health, but we are talking fat loss here.

This goes for all types of slow and steady exercise, walking, jogging and all of the cardio machines. This type of exercise does nothing to preserve muscle and performing excessive cardio can actually break down muscle and slowing your metabolism making it harder to lose weight.

The problem is, the more cardio you do, the better you get at it. So you are burning LESS calories for the same amount of work. So you have to do more and more and more…in order to get the same result. Then at the point that you begin to lose muscle you will start to get fatter (even though your weight may stay the same or go down).

Think of what a sprinter looks like versus a marathoner. Marathoners look too skinny; because they have very little muscle as a result they have higher body fat percentages.

If you want to lose fat and improve your health you absolutely must maintain and preferably increase the size of your muscles. The more muscle you have the more calories you are burning even when you are sitting on the couch watching TV!

You can do this by performing resistance or strength training exercises. Many people are wary of strength training, fearing it will make them bulky or too muscular. For most women this is nearly impossible since they have significantly less testosterone than men, and it requires large amounts of food and hours every day in the gym. I recommend 2 – 3 full body workouts a week which could be as short as 30 minutes each!

You still need cardio; I am not recommending that you avoid all cardiovascular exercise, but perform it differently. Ignore the ‘fat burning zone’ charts in the gym and the ‘talk test’. These concepts are based on the idea that you burn a higher percent of fat calories with low intensity exercise than with high intensity exercise. That is partly true, BUT, does not take into account that you burn more TOTAL calories exercising at a higher intensity. PLUS high intensity exercise caused you to extra calories for HOURS after your exercise session.

Instead of an hour on the treadmill at a fast walk or jog, you should work in sprints and finish in 15 – 30 minutes. After warming up (5 – 10 minutes), push very hard for 15 seconds and then recover for 45 seconds. Repeat 5 times and then cool down for 5 – 10 minutes. Before you add more time to your exercise session, you can work harder for those 15 seconds increase the work to recovery ratio, i.e., work for 20 seconds and recover for 40, then 30 and 30.

High intensity exercise takes a lot out of you so you HAVE to shorten the exercise session. You get better results in less time! You can either perform your new shorter cardio sessions after your full body weight training workout or on the days in between.

If you are not used to working at high intensities you do have to build up to it. Start by pushing yourself just a little harder than normal and push a littler harder than that the next week.

For optimum fat loss you will still have to add in a supportive eating.

Wouldn’t it be great to know a simple routine that would help you to manage your stress? Reiki is an easy-to-learn, effective way to do just that.

Reiki is a Japanese modality that promotes relaxation and relief from stress, and enhances the body’s self-healing mechanisms. As it gains popularity in this country, Reiki is used on its own and as an adjunct to other forms of healing, in hospitals and pain management facilities, private practice offices and wellness centers. You can learn to use it in the privacy of your home or wherever you go.

How does Reiki work? As Westerners, it can be a challenge for us to understand an Eastern approach to health and healing. But these concepts are not as strange as they may seem.

As with acupuncture and the martial arts, Reiki uses the concept of “Ki”, or “Chi”– a life force or energy that exists in and around all living beings. We’re healthy when our chi flows freely and strongly; blocked or sluggish chi indicates an area of imbalance or illness. Reiki is used to transmit healing energy in order to address areas of blocked chi, and restore balance within the recipient.

Our need for touch is as fundamental as our need for food and safety, and the touch of Reiki is most gentle. Compassionate touch naturally has a calming effect, as when holding a baby or holding the hand of someone who is ill or unhappy. Being touched helps us to relax, to breathe more easily, to feel reassured, and even to help reduce pain.

As humans, our survival as a species depends on our natural capacity for self-healing. Without our having to think about it, our body is continually seeking to maintain its own health. Homeostasis refers to the body’s ability to self-regulate on a cellular level, in order to maintain stability when adjusting to changing external conditions. This is what enables us to keep our body temperature stable when going from an over-heated apartment into the cold outdoors; it is how a cut heals itself; how white blood cells rush to fend off infection; how our breathing returns to normal after a long run in the park.

Sometimes however, our natural self-healing abilities are compromised. Evidence shows the extent to which stress is implicated in many illnesses, and how it can weaken our immune system. Reiki strengthens our self-healing abilities by addressing the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional aspects of stress.

As a Reiki practitioner, you can give Reiki not only to others but also to yourself, and many people learn Reiki simply for their own use. You may then also choose to give Reiki treatments to family members and friends, or to start your own professional practice.

If you have questions about Reiki, would like to experience a Reiki session, or wish to learn how to give Reiki to yourself or others – you can contact me by sending an email to sandy@questforwellness.net .

We all need someone to talk to. And we’re drawn to one another to do just that. When we have friends, family, colleagues that we can talk to, we consider ourselves lucky, or even blessed. And research has shown that having a social network – whether it be one friend or many – is important for a person’s health and sense of well being. Basically, we need to talk.

But perhaps more importantly, we need to be listened to. Whether we’re telling a joke, sharing a secret, opening our hearts to reveal our struggles, we need to have the profound feeling of having the other’s full attention, their focus. It’s at that intersection, where the speaker and the listener meet that our humanity is validated.

Since ancient times, besides family and friends, individuals have also talked to people who are outside those close circles. These special relationships are of a personal and intimate nature and are developed to suit specific needs individuals have had. Those needs might include guidance, advice, or education. On the emotional level the needs might include comfort, support, understanding, or self-reflection. Earliest written history has revealed the existence and purpose of mentors and religious and medical specialists that worked as counselors. Today we know these individuals as psychotherapists and coaches.

Why would anyone turn to a stranger to talk about their inner thoughts, problems or struggles? One of the prevailing American myths is that of the rugged individualist, self-sufficient and independent. According to this myth, the best people are those who never need any help from anyone.

Left to our own devices we might figure out what we really want in life or what’s bothering us. Then there’s always trial and error. We can choose a path, but is it what we really want or is it what we “should” want? Is it just easier to end the confusion and discomfort and do something, make a decision? Or just keep trying to ignore our dissatisfactions until years of unhappiness pass. And certainly if our challenge is dealing with overwhelming emotions such as anxiety and depression, those struggles rarely if ever go away by themselves.

Whether a person is in emotional distress and needs psychotherapy or is facing a life transition and needs the support and direction coaching can offer, having the opportunity to work with a trained professional counselor is really the best way to deal with the stalls, bumps, and dissatisfactions of our lives. Having that experience, to both talk and be listened to with the focused attention and input from a person whose only agenda is your well being can be powerful, healing and clarifying.

Feeding infants and toddlers is supposed to be a pleasure but parents often experience struggles. If feeding is becoming a chore, there are usually some simple adjustments to make meals pleasant. The same adjustment applies to children with developmental delays.

Feeding struggles usually occur when parents overlook developmental drives in the feeding area. Struggles and refusals are usually managed by applying a two-part feeding arrangement. The first part asks that parents provide basic nutritious, quiet and scheduled meals suitable for the child’s age. The second part involves letting your child self feed based on their abilities.

Here are the basic guidelines that apply to nearly all infants and children who are meeting all other developmental milestones. At 6 months most infants can use a cup, at 7 months finger feed and between nine and 12 months most infants want to use a spoon. When parents allow this process to take place, mealtimes are fun. When parents block the child’s drive to self feed, trouble can start. The trouble may be obvious: the child simply refuses to be fed. Other problems may be hidden. Your child just sits and waits to be fed, way beyond the milestones just mentioned. Passive eating may signal other things but it usually means the child has ‘given up’ and parents need to change their style or mealtimes may continue as another parenting chore. Passive or resistant eating may also indicate some oral motor or other problem. Just step back and see what happens. Children see eating in a context of communication and trust, not nutrients. Struggles from lack of trust can lead to a suppressed appetite.

Developing infants and toddlers are concerned with the emotions that they experience while eating and the way that they eat. Delayed children have developmental needs, too. The milestones may appear on a different schedule but the same drives exist. Parents will see the wish to self-feed and refusals even with accommodating practices that used to work well.

Parents may be making their own problem if anxiety and cultural beliefs keep them from letting their child develop. No parent forces an early talker into silence. Yet, some restrain the eating aspect of development. Letting go can be scary. What about choking? First, separate choking from gagging. Choking blocks breathing. It can be fatal and parents have to be alert. Gagging is learning. Gagging can indicate many things. Sometimes, gagging means the child has taken in something she has yet to learn how to swallow. Wait a few weeks or try the same food in a smaller size or different texture. If the child continues, she likes the food enough to overcome the difficulty. Will he eat enough? Most infant and toddler appetites match the size of their fist-sized stomach. As long as the appetite is not disrupted by too much milk (16oz for under 2’s) or too much juice (over 6 oz), most little ones know when they are full. Parents cannot know by thinking. Toddler portions are measured by tablespoons, not cups.

If parents cannot figure out what to do, professional assistance may be needed.

The birth or the adoption of a child is an exciting moment full of joy, hope and anticipation. But this new stage in life also brings with it many challenges for the parents as individuals and as a couple.

New parents face many questions and are easily overwhelmed by stress. Mothers may have to deal with postpartum depression or the fear that their child hasn’t yet formed an emotional bond with them. Fathers may feel inadequate and left out at first. Both parents may be exhausted from sleepless nights and the physical and emotional demands of caring for a young child.

Couples must find a way to stay connected even as they struggle with each other over child-care responsibilities, household chores or setting limits with their child or children. These disagreements have their roots in the different beliefs we bring from our own family experiences and are reinforced by cultural and societal values. How we were brought up often influences our interactions with our partner.

Couples often have problems finding time or space for one another after the arrival of a new baby. Having a child changes their relationship and life style. Many couples talk only about their child at the end of the day. They forget to check-in with each other and know very little about their partner’s feelings and thoughts.

Many couples let months or even years go by without paying enough attention to each other’s emotional and physical needs. The child has taken center stage. If this pattern continues, one or both of the partners end up feeling unsupported, under-appreciated and unsatisfied with each other.

Marital conflict can make children feel insecure. Children thrive in a safe and secure environment. The best way to create that environment is to stay connected and emotionally close to your partner. Recognize that having a child is a time for growth and learning but also time of stress and conflicts. You need to communicate to each other your expectations about childcare and how having a child might have changed your relationship. Openly discuss feelings about being a mother or a father, making sure to talk about both the joys as well as fears about parenting. You also need to discuss how to share parenting, financial and household responsibilities.

At this stage in your relationship, don’t forget that you are mates as well as parents. Schedule time for each other on a weekly basis. This may sound unromantic but it’s important to find time just for the two of you. Try not to talk about your child or children during this special time. It’s not just a time for talking and sharing but also a time for being physically intimate. Good parental relations are important for your child’s healthy development. Having a child can be the most wondrous experience any couple can share as long as they stay connected.

Think about your daily activities. Do you move through the world with a sense of ease and joy, Feeling good in your body? Or are you one of the 31 million Americans who suffer from back pain every year? Do you have arthritis, fibromyalgia, bunions, asthma or a sleep disorder? How about TMJD, IBS, or MS? Do you lead a high-stress lifestyle? Are you trying to get your body back after pregnancy or surgery?

MELT can help. MELT stands for Myofascial Energetic Length Technique, a cutting edge method developed by Upper West Side bodyworker Sue Hitzmann. MELT uses specialized foam rollers and rubber balls to release tension and restore balance in the body. Now you might be wondering how lying on a foam roller or stepping on a little ball can help all these different conditions. I’m so glad you asked!

The common link between all these body issues is the fascial system of the body. Fascia, or connective tissue, is a combination of collagen and elastin which envelopes all the muscles, bones, organs and nerves of the body. Connective tissue not only wraps every individual part of the body, it also connects them in a vast web-like network to support, protect and stabilize your body throughout every movement you make. It is the connective tissue, which responds first to prepare you to pick up a pencil, step off a curb, or take a bite of your sandwich. We simply couldn’t live without it.

Healthy connective tissue is smooth and fluid. It allows muscles to glide gracefully over one another, and organs to work efficiently. However, when connective tissue gets dehydrated, it gets more gel-like and causes things that should be separate to get “sticky.” Chronic misalignments, injury and illness are often the result.

Our lifestyle determines the health of our connective tissue. If we eat a balanced diet, drink enough water, exercise regularly, and relax daily, we can maintain our fascia quite well. But many people walk on pavement in tight shoes, sit all day in front of a computer, grab a burger, and then work out a little too hard at the gym. All these activities stress certain parts of our connective tissue more than others, causing dehydration.

To rehydrate connective tissue, you can get a therapeutic massage or acupuncture, or do gentle yoga or tai chi. Learning to MELT can increase the benefits of these alternative therapies. Lying on a MELT roller rehydrates the spine, as well as stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (your “relaxation response”.) Stepping on a MELT ball brings new fluid and movement to all the complex joints of the foot. You can also MELT your hands, skull, thighs, hamstrings and calves.

I invite you all to pay attention to your connective tissue, for it holds the key to moving through your life with less pain, and with more freedom and ease.

I have just finished another enjoyable book by best selling author Malcolm Gladwell called Outliers, The Story of Success. This is not your typical self help book. In this book the author attempts to study success as it relates to chance, timing, and luck in addition to extraordinarily hard work and time devoted to your craft.

What I found most interesting for the purposes of my profession and this article was the discussion of the Roseto effect. Roseto, Pennsylvania is a town that had a rather homogeneous population of Italian immigrants from the same region in southern Italy. It was discovered, in the 1960′s that this population suffered from heart disease in an unusually low rate when compared to the rest of the U.S., and when compared to the rest of Pennsylvania, as well as to the towns right next to them. The researchers ruled out any genetic gift; other immigrants from the same region that settled in other not so homogeneous communities in the U.S. did not fair as well. They ruled out any special healthy diet; the residents of Roseto actually stopped eating like their relatives in Italy, and began to cook with lard and have issues with obesity like the rest of the U.S. They had the same blue collar labor professions as the rest of that region of Pennsylvania, therefore no exercise or activities unique to them.

What they discovered was Rosetans had a social framework that was very much like their hometown of Roseto, in southern Italy. They visited often with friends and extended family, they socialized by walking into each others homes and yards. Three generations of Rosetans lived under the same roof. People are nourished by other people. The importance of social networks in health and longevity has been confirmed again by study of a close-knit Italian-American community in Roseto, Pennsylvania”.

You see, the Rosetans did not have any unique behaviors. And because of their healthy social relationships and networks they were dying of old age, not disease.

The Roseto effect has been known for years, this is not new science. This study has been helpful in underscoring the mental/psychological control the nervous system has in contributing to health and wellbeing. This of course is not an excuse to drink and smoke as long as you have healthy social relationships. As a matter of fact as the years passed and the Rosetans became less like homogenized Italians and more like Americans they began to suffer at the same rates that the rest of the American population does. How well we live is more important than how long we live.

The reason this story is included in Outliers, is because of the importance of social structure and networks. The reason this story is included in this newsletter is because of the emphasis we give to our patients regarding the 3 dimensional approach to health and wellness; Physical, bio-chemical and mental/psychological. Each is equally important not only for the sake of longevity but for quality of life.

If you’ve ever suspected that your chronic or intermittent back, neck or shoulder pain was directly related to how you use your body, you’re correct. According to Dr. Emil Pascarelli, professor of clinical medicine at Columbia University and author of Dr. Pascarelli’s Complete Guide to Repetitive Strain

Injuries, all repetitive strain injuries are posture or use related. In my clinical opinion, musculoskeletal pain that is not structural in nature or due to injury is caused by poor habits of posture and use.

Many of us who have suffered from musculoskeletal pain have tried different solutions, like massage or chiropractic, get a treatment and feel great, only to have our problems come right back again. Or we take a look at ourselves in the mirror, lament our bad posture, try to sit or stand up straight, and give it up almost immediately as a bad job. Why does standing straight hurt so much, and why is it almost impossible to sit tall for more than a minute or two? Why does it take so much effort? Why does bending over feel as if we are the Tinman without the oil can, when it used to be so effortless when we were small children?

In an attempt to stand up straight, we pull our shoulders back, tighten and stick out our chests, suck in our bellies, and stiffen our legs. This does not feel good, so we immediately revert to our normal way of being and think that good posture is impossible. The reason this doesn’t work is that we are merely imposing another set of muscular tensions on top of the ones we unconsciously carry around with us. A better solution is to learn what we are doing wrong, let it go, and allow our bodies to assume their natural upright inheritance.

F.M. Alexander discovered this for himself at the turn of the 20th century, when doctors could not relieve the intractable vocal problems that were threatening to derail his career as an actor. Determined to find and correct the cause of his hoarseness, he observed himself as he spoke and moved. He noticed that when he wanted to project his voice, he responded by tightening the muscles in his neck and pulling his head backwards and downwards. This unconscious tightening, or startle response, was causing a chain reaction throughout his entire body. His shoulders would roll forward, his chest would collapse, and his legs would lock. His collapsed ribs would not allow his lungs to expand to their full capacity, and his tight neck muscles caused his larynx to constrict. He concluded that his hoarseness and inability to project were caused by his own poor use patterns. Eventually, he worked out a way to inhibit his habits and replace them with better choices when he wanted to speak.

If you’re wondering what this has to do with you if you’re not an actor, the chances are very good that if you are experiencing pain on a regular basis, you are unconsciously imposing unnecessary tension on yourself as you go about your daily life, impairing your coordination and distorting your posture. A series of lessons in the Alexander Technique is the missing link to a good pain recovery program, or to just staying in the best shape. By becoming aware of unconscious habit, inhibiting poor use patterns and substituting healthy choices, we can have a great deal of control over our own musculoskeletal health.

Families are returning to the dinner table! That was front page news last year in the New York Times. In this article parents vividly described their struggle to maintain a semblance of family life in the face of overwhelming demands of work, school and everyone’s extra life activities. If you have one of those crammed calendar families, or even if you don’t have children or live alone, the issue in modern life is increasingly this: How do you find the balance? Where does work end and personal life begin? And in your personal life how do you make time for family, friends and yet carve out some totally selfish time just for yourself?

A major focus in personal coaching is life balance. Individuals come to coaching because something in their lives just isn’t right. This feeling of discontent seems at odds with their apparent success on the job, in their personal life, in the community. Working together we uncover what that something is and very often there’s an indication that life is clearly out of balance. Too much time is spent on some areas while other areas languish, leaving individuals caught in this cycle depleted, dissatisfied and yearning for something more.

Taking time to reflect on your life in a structured fashion can be a very constructive first step in ultimately making changes to achieve a greater level of balance. One of the first tasks I undertake with my clients is an exploration of their personal values, to find out what is important to them. Very early in the process I ask them to complete an exercise that leads them to clarify their values and to create a personal mission statement based upon those values. When our daily life reflects our core values, our level of life satisfaction is high. When there’s a gap between our values and our life choices, that realization can be the beginning of a new focus to achieve life balance.

Several additional exercises help clients identify their specific areas of greatest satisfaction and those they would like to work on. One exercise is a satisfaction scale where the many explicit areas of each of our lives is considered and rated by the client on a scale of one to ten: career/professional, financial, health, exercise, spiritual, family, friends, intimacy, community, physical, learning/growth, play/fun, creative expression. The thoughtful completion of this self-reflection can vividly reveal to a client those areas on which focused work could improve satisfaction.

We all know when we’re out of balance. More often than not we accept that this is just the way it is. Life will get better with the passage of time or when external influences disappear. Coaching helps individuals take control in the face of external influences, to stop wishing their lives away until some future point in time. Coaching can help you create a clear vision of what you want your life to look like, feel like on a daily basis and then take steps to turn that vision into reality.

In the world of chiropractic care there is an amazing technique that can heal you faster and more completely than you would think possible.

Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) not only treats your symptoms, but also addresses their cause. The name comes from the balancing of the sacrum and cranium, which rest respectively at the base, and the top of our spine. SOT’s broad scope addresses structural stability and integrity, as well as neurological function. Its uniqueness lies in its application to the internal organs and cranial structures, not just the back, neck and extremities.

The most important principle is to correct only what is indicated, and to do so with the least amount of external force. SOT adjustments may be gently administered; they utilize the force of gravity from your own body weight so that standard chiropractic adjustments are often unnecessary. Placement of wedges, or blocks, allows your body to correct spinal imbalances by using its own internal force – respiration. Of course, more traditional adjusting techniques may be used, but SOT treatments are always specific to your individual needs.

SOT visceral, or organ technique offers us the unique ability to understand and effectively approach the viscero-somatic (organ-body) reflexes – a frequently overlooked part of the whole – which can be a common cause of chronic spinal misalignment. Chiropractic visceral technique enhances the success and longevity of an adjustment.

Assessment is based on comprehensive, objective clinical findings called indicators. Indicators are collected, and a category system is used to guide the practitioner to a logical, individualized approach for the most proper treatment of each patient. Monitoring the SOT indicators lets us gauge effectiveness and tells us when to modify or change our approach.

SOT adjustments are matched to your current needs with great precision, so treatments at any visit may differ from your last, or from another patient’s. Some patients will benefit from only one or two visits, while others are best served by a series of visits, either grouped together, or over a longer time period. In any case, patients report not only alleviation or complete elimination of their symptoms, but also a sense of enhanced well-being and reduced stress, their vitality and balance restored to an exciting degree. This is not because SOT is a miracle, but because the human body itself is a miraculous organism, capable of healing itself given optimal structure and function.

Certification in Sacro Occipital Technique involves extensive training, study, and practice and is obtained through oral, written and practical examinations by the Board of Examiners of Sacro Occipital Research Society International. SOT is research and evidence based, and is a chiropractic technique recognized by health insurance companies.
