Wellness Coaching
Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.
— Hippocrates
At Prairie Health and Wellness, we believe that no medication can beat a healthy diet and lifestyle. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, is recorded as stating over 2500 years ago that, “all disease begins in the gut.” We believe the health of the gut is the foundation for the health of the body as a whole. Conditions such as constipation, colitis, diarrhea, leaky gut, and irritable bowel syndrome, are commonplace in our society today and are direct implications of our nutrition or lack thereof. Did you also know that other conditions such as eczema, migraines/ headaches, allergies, fatigue, brain fog, irritability, sleep conditions, poor focus or attention, poor memory, and hyperactivity, can also be linked to our diets? Sadly, our standard American diet has done nothing to improve these conditions but has only served to make these conditions common and accepted in our culture today. It should not be normal for us to be sick.
Everyone wants to feel good, have energy to live their life, function at a high level mentally and physically, and overall, to live life to its fullest potential. We want to help you do just that by taking time to get to the root of the issue, not to simply treat symptoms. More often than not, diet and simple lifestyle habits are some of the first things we address.
We work with each patient individually to develop a comprehensive plan to address their unique dietary and lifestyle needs. We often use specific diets such as Paleo, Keto, AIP, SCD, and low FODMAP as guides based on each patient’s goals and dietary needs, predetermined by our providers on staff. We will also discuss sleep, exercise, stress levels, and physical activity as all are equally important and affect the body’s overall health.
When you give your body what it craves such as proper nutrition, hydration, adequate sleep, stress reduction, and physical activity, the ability of the body to heal itself is amazing.
Our team at Prairie Health and Wellness would love to help you on your journey towards a healthy and full life.
There is a huge difference between ordinary meat from feedlots & grass-fed, pasture raised meat. Quality matters.
Did you know 97% of the beef for sale in the U.S. is grain-fed and processed in feedlots? Because of the crowded (and often filthy) conditions, these cattle are fed antibiotics to help prevent the spread of disease. The cattle are unnaturally obese due to the administration of growth hormones and fatty fillers like corn, soy, and in some cases even animal byproducts and candy. As a result you get a fatty piece of meat tainted with antibiotics and hormones. When we eat animals that are not healthy - we become unhealthy.
Thankfully ButcherBox has a solution. They deliver premium 100% grass-fed beef, free range organic chicken, wild-caught Alaskan sockeye salmon and more directly to your door.
