Life-Style: Health & Wellness from the Inside-Out!
We have between 12,000 - 50,000 thoughts per day and the energy behind our thoughts has a profound effect on our bio-psycho-social reality. Conscious thoughts and deep rooted beliefs help create realities in the physical world. At Life Dr. we focus on what is and what's positive! Quantum physics - attempting to explain the unexplainable; the collective unconscious, neuro-science, neuro-chemistry and our neurological system. Let's celebrate our miraculous brain.
An exploration of home: our amazing body and it's systems. How it works and what it needs. Inner & outer. Our physical environments. What we do in the world ...our actions vs. our intentions and aligning the two. A balance of what we want vs. what we need. Everything tangible. How 'dis-ease' impacts our body causing illness and discomfort. Spotlight on self-care and physically manifesting what we want inside and out!
When we explore the deeper connection between our internal and external environments, we become more conscious of our own power, our personal responsibility and how our lives are improved by acting with intention. Karma, conscious living, and the bond to spirit, the collective unconscious and a higher power. It's an energy and it's POSITIVE!
There is a lot of confusion about the difference between our feelings (happy, sad, fearful, angry), and our emotions. Feelings are more universally felt in nature and circumstance, while our emotions are an expression of the personality and what we put out in the world. Emotions are the tension between our inside world and the outside world. They're our 'reactions' towards someone or something, and usually involve our ego.
Exploring our Emotional Life means tuning in to how we are feeling: inside ourselves, within our different environments, as well as with the people we choose to have in our lives. Our commitment to activities and behaviors that provide: a sense of accomplishment, creative outlet, or some sense of purpose or support, enhances our well-being and the well-being of others.
The dynamics of a healthy relationship begin with you! When we feel comfortable with who we are, know our value and that we're worthy of love, we love and value others. Let's explore personal, family and professional relationships. What it means to 'trust'. Heart-centered, authentic communication. Needs, boundaries and the importance of listening. Sex vs. sensuality. Inner & outer relationships with ourselves, the global community, and to things, like money.
Everything food! Recipes-for-life, meal planning and preparation, urban gardening, farm-to-table, life-enhancing seasonal foods. The science of healthy whole foods and their nutritional benefits, using food-as-medicine and a bit of history, the use of supplements, greens, natural, organic, wild, grass-fed, raw and more!
A healthy life is a life in balance and so much more than exercising, eating & sleeping well. Let's explore the connection between our internal and external environments and consciously create a life of passion & purpose. We can learn to be our best-selves and live our best-lives at home, with friends & family, at work and on a global level. It's possible to feel nourished by environments that feel good to us, and to experience health, wellness and abundance in every area of your life. Let's explore healthy living from the inside-out!

My personal Life-Tips and Quotes all in one place! What are some of your favorites? Here is one of mine by someone who has inspired me:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

"Every communication is an opportunity to help create a greater level of closeness, or more distance. A person's energy and the way they choose to approach a challenging subject often determines the end result." ~ Life Dr. Tina Morse

In honor of The National Cancer Alliance Day (Sunday June 2nd), here's a guest post by David Haas - the director of Awareness Programs at the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance.
You probably already know that nutrition holds the key to several health advantages. During cancer treatment, you may come up against some particularly bothersome side effects. While diet alone can’t help you avoid these entirely, there are a few nutrition tricks that can help mitigate your discomfort.
Chemo Fog
Several chemo patients and survivors make jokes about chemo fog or chemo brain, but the difficulties in mental function associated with chemotherapy are quite real and can be disturbing to those experiencing them. You may notice that you begin to have memory problems or have difficulty paying attention. Rather than panicking, try eating your vegetables.
LifeDr.com Topic: Emotions / Passion & Purpose 
Our emotions play a critical role in our development. They are innate modes of communication that help us thrive and survive. At birth, infants are only capable of experiencing basic emotional states. They reflect contentment, interest, or distress to a parent or caretaker. A well-attuned parent is generally able to discern what their infant needs. They respond quicker, reflect positive energy, spend more quality time interacting with their infant - and are well bonded and connected. Primary caretakers help children learn to regulate their emotions through empathizing, soothing, emotional validation; and modeling emotional expression that mirrors their child's internal emotional state.

What have you come to understand are the neurobiological bases for schizophrenia, and what are the therapeutic benefits and unwanted side effects of antipsychotic medications?
Schizophrenia is a brain disease that is thought to stem from genetic variables or abnormalities in structure, neurochemistry, function, and environmental factors. Although there have been a number of theories that attempt to explain the exact causation, The Dopamine Model is the predominant theory that has been used for the last couple of decades. This model represents that excessive dopamine is thought to lead to a disorganization of thought and perception, failures in screening stimuli, and behavioral agitation. Newer research reflects that glutamate toxicity leads to the potential poisoning of cells by activating free radicals that eventually kill them (Preston and Johnson, 2010).
