Harmony Healing, LLC Presents: Gut

Health

Did you know your body contains more non-human cells thanhuman cells? That’s right, your body is covered (inside and out) withabout 30 to 50 TRILLION bacteria cells. Each type of bacteria hasa unique ‘fingerprint’ or job to do. Most of them are beneficial, andeven necessary for our survival.

Our gut biome, or the micro environment of bacteria in our gut,begins to lay the foundation during the birthing process. When weare in the womb (a sterile environment), there is no need for our tinybodies to fight off disease. The birthing process is an amazingcreation, whereby the path of exit through the vaginal canal actuallyprovides the first building blocks of gut biome. It is here where weare first introduced to friendly bacteria. This begins what should be amutually beneficial relationship between us and ‘them’.

Now, we need to remember that not ALL bacteria is good, andthere is a delicate balance. When our gut biome is thrown off,allowing one bacteria to run rampant, we can experience a varietyof symptoms including:

Isn’t that INSANE? Just one small part of our body, whichtechnically isn’t even ‘US’ can cause so many issues? When ourimmune system is down, we are not as able to fight off invaders,and get sicker even faster. What are some things that can adverselyaffect our gut biomes?

· Stress· Food allergies/sensitivities· Use of antibiotics· Eating ‘fake’ foods & sugars· Caffeine· Use of steroids· Smoking, drug usage

· Vaccines· Exposure to toxins, such as heavy metals· Exposure to environmental molds· Being born by Caesarian section· Not being breast-fed as a baby

Knowing all this, how do we combat this, or re-build the gut biome?We need to replenish the GOOD bacteria. We can do this by usinga quality LIVE probiotic. Bone broth is a great tool to repair the tightjunction function of leaky gut, and allow the gut biome to repair itself.Fermented foods (sauerkraut, pickles, etc.), yogurt and Kombuchaare great dietary resources. Detoxing the body of heavy metals, toxinsand molds. Parasite cleanses. Clean eating. Sugar reduction. Applecider vinegar. Exercise and meditation.

Being conscious of our word choices and our thoughts is animportant tool in overall health, and beneficial for gut health.

Cellular detoxes via herbs, oils or homeopathics can also help thegut release what no longer needs to be there. Cleaning out thedigestive tract via fasts or herbal remedies is wonderful. Mostimportantly, BE KIND TO YOURSELF AND YOUR JOURNEY!

Waterford Youth Assistance President, Grant

Smith, Honored with Governor’s Service

Award – Mentor of the Year

Waterford Youth Assistance would like to

congratulate President Grant Smith for being

selected as the 2019 Governor’s Service

Award recipient for Mentor of the Year. In

2010, Grant began mentoring 11-year-old

mentee, Andrew, and his brother, Aaron,

through FOCUSS (Fostering Optimal

Collaboration to Uphold Student Success).

As a mentor, he supported and encouraged the boys to play

sports, attend career exploration programs and achieve

academically. He continued mentoring when FOCUSS merged

with Mentors Plus of Oakland County Youth Assistance in 2013.

Through mentoring children, Grant has helped provide life

changing experiences and has seen improved personal

development within his mentees. Being inspired by his

experiences with youth, Grant works to ensure other youth have

the same opportunities to be mentored. As President of Water-

ford Youth Assistance and a Mentors Plus Chairperson, he

networks with local organizations and recruits mentors to provide

resources for youth within the community. As a Mentors Plus

Advisory Committee member, he assists with interviewing

candidates to be matched with other youth who need positive

role models in their lives. He continuously strives to make positive

influences while keeping the best interest of youth in mind.

Grant’s compassion for mentoring one young man grew into

supporting a mentoring program and resulted in solidifying the

program’s viability to serve Waterford families. Congratulations

Grant Smith on receiving this distinguished award from Governor

Whitmer!

As a local office affiliate of Oakland County Youth

Assistance, Waterford Youth Assistance (WYA) has

been serving Waterford families since 1962. Our

purpose is to help strengthen and support youth and

families through citizen involvement in an effort to

prevent juvenile delinquency, child neglect and abuse. We

provide a variety of community-based programs that are

developed and executed by volunteers who reside and work in

Waterford. To learn more about mentoring a child or other WYA

services and programs, visit waterfordyouthassistance.com.

Congratulate Grant Smith and learn more about Waterford Youth

Assistance at our 2019 Annual Meeting Luncheon which will

begin at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, October 23 at Overtyme Grill

and Tap Room, Waterford. The 2019 Annual Meeting Luncheon

Message from the President...

– Return Service Request –

"Continuous learning is the minimum requirement forsuccess in any field."

- Brian Tracy

As we approach the 3rd quarter, it is a good time

to reflect on how we have done so far and how

we would like to finish the year. Which goals

have you accomplished? What goals are you still striving to

reach? Sometimes we are so focused on the day-to-day

operations that we don’t have the time to provide continuous

learning to ourselves and our employees.

A great upcoming event for you and your employees is the

you to take a step back and hear from locally and nationally

recognized speakers who will provide content rich information.

The conference is on October 25th from 7:30 a.m. - noon at

I am certain that you will leave the conference feeling energized,
