There is a kind of fatigue that is so deep it feels like you may not have tbe energy to live through it. This 'tiredness' can happen fast, hitting the center of the gut and spreading outwards into every fiber of the being. The feeling is one of a fatigue CRASH, like you MUST lay down, that the stress of sitting or standing is too great it becomes an ache. Intrinsic energy drains out, like a zeroing internal battery. Sleep becomes paramount, the kind of sleep where you wake up 30 minutes later and it felt like one second.

This type of chronic low innate energy has been a personal issue off and on for my entire adult life, and even back into childhood. Over the years I have researched diligently, trying to understand the mechanisms and how to help. One of the main questions is WHY ME?' Why do I hit a wall and lose energy fast, when other people seem to have an abundance of natural energy reserves.

We humans are complex, but here is some of what I now understand about myself, and what has helped:

🌿 The impact of stress on the body/mind complex, and consistently finding a balance between everyday life stress and relaxation. Without this purposeful balance, the body will be forced into excessive rest by the stress/crash response.

🌿 The adrenal glands and their accompanying hormones, and how the adrenals can go into a state of insufficiency -- bone weary fatigue is often the adrenals becoming WAY overstressed. Adrenals need high level nutritional elements to flourish.

🌿 Low Immune System plays a role in maintaining energy and is part of the stress response -- gaining knowledge on how to assist the Immune System has been invaluable.

🌿 Having my genetics analyzed was pivotal, explaining many of the health challanges from the perspective of inherited genetic traits.

🌿 Nourishing my body with high quality vitamins, minerals, and superfoods has helped immensely. Some people need quite a high level of
nourishing nutritional elements to maintain intrinsic energy and health. Low quality processed foods will totally stress out the body and cause it to fatigue out.

🌿 Using Body Talk and Applied Kinesiology principles to neutralize the energetic and emotional stressors that are stored in the body and mind from past trauma has helped the healing response both emotionally and physically.

If you are having fatigue issues that seem to stem from stress, reach out and we can work together to find ways to help.

When I was a teenager, I had terrible acne. Large inflamed pimples covered my cheeks. My teenage self already believed I was ugly, and having such severe issues lowered my confidence even more.

The thing is, no one helped me figure out the root cause. No one thought or said, 'Goodness, this girl has a terribly inflammed gut', OR 'Her liver is absolutely compromised and the toxins are being pushed out the skin', OR 'Honey, you need to check in with what you are eating'. Nope, no root cause ideology came my way for years and years.

My Mother took me to the dermatologist; he prescribed the oral antibiotic Tetracycline. Now I know that this Pharmaceutical antibiotic was like a bomb going off inside of me.

🔥 My already compromised gut microbiome became even more disturbed, making the acne worse by killing rhe good bacteria that my gut and immune system desperately needed.

🔥 There is a liver and kidney burden with Tetracycline, and unbeknownst to me or my Mother, who was certainly trying to help me, this antibiotic was part of setting up liver issues later in life.

🔥 Nutrient deficiencies were already present since I know today that my genetics include Celiac disease, which lowers nutrient absorbtion. Adding Tetracycline caused even further nutrient absorbtion problems. Tetracycline all by itself can deplete the body of essential nutrients over time, including B vitamins (which gut bacteria help synthesize), vitamin K, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, which bind to the drug and reduce absorption,

My skin had even less of a fighting chance after being bombarded by Tetracycline.

It took a few months, but between a majorly clueless me that still figured out that my stomach hurt when I took the pills, and my Mother being somewhat aware that a medicine was not natural, we realized the Tetracycline was not helping and my skin was becoming even more inflamed. Somehow we stopped this med, thank God.

Eventually I began to clean up my diet. I was baking all kinds of breads, cookies, cakes, and other homemade treats, and was my own biggest Consumer of what I baked. I had a huge appetite, eating way too much food for my little tummy, which would just ACHE.

Somewhere in there I stopped bakjng so many treats. Then I stopped eating sugar altogether, mostly to help lose weight. My skin improved. I tried all kinds of holistic food from the Seventh Day Adventist cookbooks and my skin improved again. Believe it or not, I still did not put it all together as to what was causing the improvement. Eventually, I realized that I broke out every time I ate deep fried food, so I stopped eating chips, fries, onion rings, etc. This made a huge difference. But still I did not understand WHY. Today I do know why -- my liver never could tolerate a very high level of toxic fats and seed oils running through it.

Then came the nutrition classes and Biochemical Applied Kinesiology with it's connection to Traditional Chinese Medicine. I found out the skin is 100% tied to the health of the liver and that this entire time, liver compromise was driving my skin issues. Again, I thank the Lord that this was shown to me.

Over time, I have figured out how to know what is causing any skin disruptions; how to consistently detox my liver; how to say NO to any inclination to eat toxic deep fried fats, even 'organic' chips and crackers full of seed oils; and how to eat nutritionally so my liver is more supported, which causes my skin to be more clear.

If you would like to experience clearer skin from a holistic perspective, give me a call and we will work together to figure it out for you.

IonCleanse has been a lifesaver for myself and my family, as well as many clients because it actually pulls the toxins out of the body through the large pores in the feet. The body feels immense relief without all that toxic garbage floating around in the system.

What is behind a headache? It's a million.dollar question, but the answers might be found in a form of energetic medicine called Body Talk.

In Body Talk, we ask the person''s innate intelligence what is causing the headache, or any pain, actually. We do this with a form of energetic biofeedback using what is called an 'indicator muscle'. We use a muscle because the muscle system is hooked into the subconscious, and the subconscious keeps track of every second of a person's life.

In the case of a headache, we test in this fashion through a memorized protocol that helps us to understand what kind of stressors have been bothering the person enough that the pain of a headache can override the nerves in the head.

The nervous system stressor may be food that has been recently consumed, toxins that were breathed in, or lack of nutrients to support the brain and nervous system. However, there are subconscious stressors underneath those physical elements -- usually suppressed memories or traumas, often of difficulties in relationships. It may be a long suppressed memory of a Father's anger, or financial.distress, or a teenage breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Whatever the stress, there is a 'correction' for it. The correction is the remedy we use to gently neutralize the stressor and allow the body/mind to release the trauma. There are multiple corrections, each one tailored to the aspect that is testing as the real issue underlying the headache/pain.

Besides in person sessions in my wellness studio, zoom sessions are available where we learn how to understand the Body Talk system and learn to do the corrections so you can help yourself and your family at home. Call or text Rachelle at 701-350-0283 for more information.

Bathroom issues like ongoing constipation, bloating, gut aching, and worse, is on the rise. In Applied Kinesiology, we check multiple factors, one being Illeocecal Valve malfunction.

The Illeocecal Valve is positioned between the Small Intestine and the Large Intestine. It is intended to open only when there is processed food moving from the Small Intestine to the Large Intestine.

However, sometimes the Illeocecal Valve stays open, causing the f***l contents of the Large Intestine to move UP into the small intestine. This can cause SIBO, which is Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth, constipation or diarhea, pain in the lower bowel, and referred muscle pain elsewhere in the body.

Less commonly, the Illeocecal Valve becomes stuck closed, causing bloating to occur from the prossessed food getting stopped up, plugged, and piling up

Testing for and correcting lleocecal Valve malfunction is relatively simple. See comments for a video from the Applied Kinesiology Institute.

Inflammation in muscle areas is often a lack of a specific Vitamin or mineral. This does not mean that all the Vitamin/Minerals are not needed by all of the muscles, but certain muscles need MORE of certain nutrients.

Vitamin A is associated with the upper chest muscle, Pectoralis Major, and with the muscles between the shoulder blades, the Rhomboid muscles. These two muscles are related to the Liver, which is the twin organ to these two muscle groups.

SO, if your upper arm, chest, or shoulders hurt, you may be low in Vitamin A. Finding a high quality Vitamin A product can be a challenge because you want it to be real food based and pure 🌿

In trying to understand the years and years of fibromyalgia and injury related pain I went through when I was younger, most of that time was spent in cluelessness as to the origins. All I knew was that my entire body HURT and I could not seem to get a handle on the unremitting pain. It was ridiculously tiny mishaps that seemed to cause it. I would pick up a bag and hurt my shoulder, bend over for a simple task and mess up my low back, sit too long and barely be able to walk, and my feet always hurt. The seemingly endless aspect of this cycle caused depression.

Slowly, incrementally, I was shown the answers to the pain.

One answer was raising nutrition, like Vitamins, Minerals, and other elements that are crucial and found to be missing in our modern diets. The difference is VAST between what you REALLY need nutritionally to thrive and what you are TOLD you need by the powers that be.

Another was to STOP eating stupid stuff, like margarine, fake whipped topping, dyes, sugar, deep fried foods. Like NEVER put these in your mouth. Hard lesson to learn and be consistent with..

I learned about the Immune System and how mine was extremely low functioning, then how to raise it up to be strong and healthy.

Massage Therapy entered into my life and I began to learn all about how muscles, fascia, and body tissues actually function and how manipulating and vibrating the tissues can make a difference.

Then I found out about the world of Energy healing, and how stress and trauma, along with our own interpretations of what we have been through, cause inflammation and pain. I learned about what we call 'corrections' that help the Body/Mind release the stresses that are bothering it.

The cool thing is that these modalities are available and can be implemented by anyone--once learned and applied consistently, they become yours forever.

If you have chronic pain issues, I would encourage you to reach out to me and we can figure it out together. To schedule, call or message Rachelle at 701-350-0283.

Believe it or not, if the motion of raising your arms up above your head to reach for an item on a shelf or screw in a light bulb is difficult for you, your LIVER may be speaking to you. But WHY would your arms be weak in this motion?

First we need to know about Glycogen. Glycogen is muscle fuel. It is made in the LIVER and stored in the liver and muscles, empowering your muscles to do daily tasks and working out. When the Liver is weak, full of abnormal FAT and synthetic TOXINS, the Liver is not able to produce enough glycogen to send to the muscles, which weakens the muscles and can eventually cause wasting of the muscles, called Sarcopenia.

In Applied Kinesiology (AK), which is realated to Traditional Chinese Medicine practices, we know that the Liver is paired with the upper chest muscle called the Pectoralis Major Sternum.

Here is the important thing to remember: When the Liver is weakened, the sibling muscles related to the liver also weaken, and in daily practicality, this means that the Pectoralis Major Sternum, a primary muscle used when lifting the arms up above the head, is weaker, causing the achy, tired feeling in your arms. You may even drop items easier when they are reached for in this position.

In AK, we test the strength of the Pectoralis Major Sternum with a specific muscle test to find out if the Liver itself is under stress. We can assume general stress of the organ when the muscle related is stressed. If the muscles with the Liver connection show stressed, we work on the muscles and energy points in vibration massage, which in turn strengthens the organ. In addition, we can find and correct lifestyle stressors that are contributing to the dysfunction.

What does neck pain have to do with what you ate yesterday?

It's surprising, but the neck muscles are sister/brother to the stomach, meaning their relationship is such that one will affect the other. The most common is that the stomach becomes upset by food or drink you consumed over the past one to three days, causing the neck muscles to become tight and inflammed.

In gathering feedback from clients who went to sleep feeling fine and work up with their neck all kinked up and thinking they must have slept wrong, the most common answer I get to the question: Hmmm, so what did you eat yesterday? Is Pizza 🍕. This is SO common of an answer when people have chronic neck stiffness and pain, that I have drawn my own conclusion that pizza is BAD for your stomach and intestines and it shows up the next day or so as PAIN in the neck. Now it could be a number of other difficult to digest foods that are stressing out the stomach and thereby causing pain in the neck area, like deep fried foods and high sugar baked items.

So what do we do about this common stomach/neck pain relationship? Well, we might want to STOP eating pizza! It's too much fine white flour that cloggs up your digestive organs, heavy and gooey cheese, and greasy sausage.

We could massage both the neck muscles and the stomach, work on the stomach meridians in a similar way to acupuncture but NO needles, and so much more.
