Your Body Hears Every Word You Say!

February 22, 2011 by Kymberly Williams-Evans and Alexandra Williams

[HTML1] “Our words, thoughts, beliefs affect our bodies, and our health.”

“If your thoughts are unhealthy, you cannot have a well body. We cannot chop into pieces the trifecta of mind, body, spirit.”

“A big difference exists between “health care” and “sick care,” which is what western medicine is turning into.”

Today’s guest asserts that what we say and think affects how we look and feel. Are you ready to hear the latest on the mind-body link? Are you also aware that the “latest” has its origins in beliefs from 1000’s of years ago? Natural, or alternative health is big and getting bigger. What’s in it for you? And is any of this oohee-whoeeee stuff provable?

What does “alternative” health care really mean anyway? What can you do TODAY to benefit from listening in?

Dr. Kathy Gruver, today’s guest brings an academic AND practical perspective to our show, where she confesses to having once been a skeptic of alternative wellness, to devoting her career to its study and practice.

Dr. Kathy Gruver is a natural health speaker, author of The Alternative Medicine Cabinet, and educator.

Fun and Fit caught up with her just days after she returned from taping a show discussing her book and natural health on Lifetime America, airing March 1, 2011.

Dr. Kathy Gruver earned her Doctorate in Traditional Naturopath and PhD in Natural Health. She has been featured as an expert in numerous publications and has written dozens of health and wellness articles. Her guest appearances on radio sharing aspects of alternative health number over 45. Dr. Gruver maintains a natural health practice in Santa Barbara, CA and has produced an instructional massage DVD, Therapeutic Massage at Home; Learn to Rub People the RIGHT Way.
