You know – I know what you’re thinking.

I have special mind-reading powers when it comes to telling you about some of the cutting-edge health research coming out. So much of it is beyond crazy sounding and so outlandish that I’ve begun to easily interpret the looks.

Sometimes I get the knowing nod, like “yeah, you’re crazy.” Or it’s the polite smile which behind the eyes reads, “oh puleeeze…not EVERYTHING is about what I eat or my choice of lifestyle; Leave. Me. Alone!” And there goes the glaze over the eyes and the shutdown.

And of course its true not everything is about what’s on the end of your fork, your stress level or your lack of sleep – I never said it was… It’s just that the stuff I’m teaching about applies to that because… well. I’m a Health Coach! That’s what I do.

But please also accept my apologies – I know I can be annoying, I’m pretty passionate about this stuff. I have to check myself and constantly resist the strong urge when someone says, “I have a hard-boiled egg every day for breakfast”  to admonish, “try a soft-boiled egg, it’s more nutritious”! I am aware that no one wants to have their every move health adjusted.

And it’s not like I don’t get it, why you think I’m kind of nuts.

I do.

Some of this information is so new it’s barely hit the internet yet unless you are in that realm of the world that we crazy health people are in and constantly bombarded with.

And your doctor is most definitely not going to be aware if she/he’s like 95% of them out there in allopathic medicine. I can’t blame them at all!

Medical Doctors have to go through ridiculously rigorous and exhaustive training in medical school, and grueling internships under other similarly trained doctors in hospitals.

By the time they get into practice,  what they’ve learned is usually a decade or more ago, and it is said that typically what is now in new research will not become mainstream acceptable treatment in the medical world for, on average, 17 years. And how in the world are they going to have time to continue to study all this new data emerging with their hectic schedule?

Some of this health stuff that leaves you making that funny face is still in the tedious “research” and trial stage; much through the National Institutes of Health. Funny – so are many of the pharmaceutical drugs being put out there for your consideration. The difference is they are on television. A lot.

So if it’s not on TV we don’t believe it, right? If it’s not part of a multi million dollar ad campaign we might as well not give it a modicum of legitimacy. Sadly, this is what we’ve come to in our social media world. It’s what we’re used to.

And don’t forget — if they can’t patent it and make large profits on it, don’t count on them ever even conducting large clinical trials that supposedly are the only basis for validation. What drug company is going to spend billions, or even millions, on how nutrition or Vitamin C can effectively treat certain illnesses? You can buy that anywhere… they won’t make any money back, so…yup, not happening.

So next time I mention something to you about your vegas nerve and the fact that what you are having for lunch right now could ultimately cause you depression,  I really understand if you roll your eyes; its ok. I don’t want you to just pretend that you’re interested.

But please consider giving me a just a wee bit of a mental nod. Maybe just a teeny tiny crack of possibility??

Remember this. They once rolled their eyes at (and cruelly rejected) the doc who insisted they should wash their hands between working on cadavers and patients because his research was telling him there were teeming millions of bacteria and germs that were invisible to the naked eye… but his then-crazy, out of the box finding, eventually saved millions of lives.

So who knows?…maybe something I say could change your whole life.

Then you could easily read my mind, cause that would make me SO happy you could interpret that look on my face. 😉
