Feeling Down May Just Be Low B-Vitamin
The B-vitamin family is known for its ability to energize the body, help create red blood cells, and detoxify the liver while soothing the nervous system. That’s what I am talking about, energizing plus calming.
B-vitamins are water based and are not stored in the body like a fat soluble vitamin (D3). Therefore, B vitamins need to be replenished frequently. This can be an issue for many people who are not eating non-irradiated fresh organic veggies. Additionally, some people simply require more B-vitamins than others (genetics).
Lack of B-vitamins can be associated with fatigue, irritability, increased levels of inflammation, anger, violent outbursts, depression, anxiety, and ADHD. B-vitamins are necessary for many of the body’s detoxification systems, especially in the brain.
Here are some simple solutions to up your intake of essential B-vitamins (B-2 through B-12)
Cruciferous vegetables
Bee pollen
Brewers yeast
Bell peppers
Mushrooms
Summer squash
Greens
At Elements, we feature a live source B-vitamin formula called Max Stress Nano B. It is affordable and effective. Increase your energy and relax your nerves all at once. You deserve to feel better. Also, come in for a nutrition scan featuring Zyto technology. The cost is $35 and only takes 15 minutes. You will be amazed.
Best of Health!

Health Freedom Expo
My wife, Kristine and I attended the Health Freedom Expo this past weekend. As always, this is my personal favorite integrative medicine expo of the year. It was my 4th consecutive year attending the expo. The expo features over 100 speakers, 150 integrative exhibitors, 5 discussion panels and much more.
If I could forward a complaint, it would be the same year after year; there are too many speaking events going on at the same time. There are five speakers per hour morning to night, Friday through Sunday. It’s difficult to choose what talk to attend when you have varied interests as I do. Of course the talks can be purchased, if you’ve missed one, on the website healthfreedomexpo.com (available soon). There are DVD archives of previous years available now and I’ll tell you they are well worth it. If you have a health channel and you want information on alternatives – this is the place. The Health Freedom Expo brings in the world’s leading authorities on health and related topics. I’m going to blog a bit on the talks and docs we attended. A few of the featured speakers this year were Bill Kurtls, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Joan Borysenko PNP, Patch Adams MD, Dr. Rosent O. Young, George Noory, Sally Fallon Morell, and Jeffrey Smith. We did a focus on ADD/ADHD and Autism and we have life changing information for parents. I will post a blog with more information soon. Also, feel free to call our office at 563-582-7878.
