Welcome to EvolvingWellness.com
This site provides you with the up to date scientific research based on integrative health areas, along with ancient, trusted wisdom of the holistic approach to health and wellness. It emphasizes natural and balanced living in all areas of our lives, from the foods we eat to the air we breathe.
Living in today’s society, we cannot deny that we live in a much more toxic world than humans ever have in all of history. As a science and holistic educator, specializing in biology, biochemistry, nutrition and environmental studies, I encourage each person to research all of the products that they bring into their life. Unfortunately, as life goes two of the biggest problems many of us have is lack of time to actually research all this and/or the background knowledge to understand the governing principles behind it.
Therefore, EvolvingWellness.com was created so you can enjoy researched articles, that empower you to be a discerning consumer. It is a site where I hope to condense all the excess information out there and bring to you credible, concise and practical applications for your health and wellness. It is one of my passions to live with integrity, and hence I believe that everyone should be entitled to valid information about the products they use.
Inspired by personal intrinsic motivation and interests, the foundation of this site is also guided by the following 10 reasons:
-
Today, you cannot depend on companies and governments to tell you what is safe and what isn’t.
With consumerism and chemical advances soaring, their main goals are profits and sales. So if and when they finally do tell us some news about a product, it is usually too late for many previous consumers. You have to do your own research.
-
In North America we have some of the worst product labelling laws in the world.
Most harmful ingredients do not have to be listed or explained as to their health, environmental or other hazardous effects, usually simply out of protection for “trade secrets”. To this day, consumers groups are trying to get things like GMO foods labelled, toxic ingredients and their consequences, and more.
-
You deserve to know.
Each of us deserves to know what possible consequences may result from eating, drinking or using a certain product. After all, a consciously aware state and personal accountability are your best prevention and protection.
-
There is so much (mis)information out there.
It is hard to know what is credible and honest, versus what is a myth or what research to believe. Research studies today are more biased than every before, depending on who is funding the research and what favourable outcome is sought. Evolving Wellness strives to be non-biased toward any product and has no personal stakes or affiliation to any company. (I have personally chosen to be an affiliate only for a handful of health promoting products that I trust and use myself.) I thus do the research for my self and in turn choose to share it with you. Whenever possible, I will also direct you to many sources where you can learn more than just what I may provide.
-
Preventable chronic diseases like cancers, asthma, heart disease, diabetes type 2 and allergies are continuing to increase.
With about 1 out of every 3 people getting some cancer or heart disease in their lifetime, we want to make sure we do not become part of those statistics. In order to do that, we have to be fully informed. It is no secret that chronic diseases, which are highly preventable are a major business today, and thus prevention is not the goal for corporate medical establishments.
-
Our bodies are our vehicles through which we can enjoy the physical experience on Earth.
How can you manifest the highest version of yourself, create the life of your dreams or access your greatest potential if you are affected by illnesses, or in a weak and diseased body. Aging is not mandatory, at least not the way society laid it out for us.
-
Our bodies were meant to last much longer than they do, and in their natural state of health.
Today we live about 80 years or so, 40 of which, only some can enjoy without any problems. Our bodies are amazing vessels that if taken care of properly can be wonderful vehicles that can last much longer and in much better shape to enjoy this amazing physical world and create desired experiences, which we can enjoy to the fullest.
-
It is not enough to avoid and be free of major diseases; but not get sick PERIOD!
Yes that includes colds, flus and all those other diseases caused by micro-organisms. We are conditioned to believe “we all get them as they are contagious”, but look around there are people who never get them, and it is not just about your immune system. Hence we want our health at its highest potential – not be running our bodies at 50 or even 80% of its efficiency but at 100%.
-
We must respect the Mind-Body connection.
As the fields of science like quantum mechanics continue to lay the foundation for how we understand ourselves and this reality, we become aware that at our essence, we are energy beings. What this means in a nutshell is that the when energies become blocked or unbalanced, physical symptoms manifest to get our attention — the body follows the mind. Physical symptoms, whether acute or chronic, only show up after we continue to create imbalance in our lives. This explains the typical example of the so called “healthy eaters”, who get sick, or “poor eaters” who live to 100. What is happening within our mind is the most important governing aspect for our overall health.
-
If you have health, you have the foundation for happiness.
Nothing matters more than health – not money, not power, or status. When you don’t have your health it is difficult, if not impossible to enjoy all that life can offer. We therefore want to commit to a life long passion to learn, grow and evolve, and make this physical life experience the best that it can be.
Finally one last important note, I want to bring information to you on all topics regarding your health and wellness and will always do my best to present you with the best up to date material. Any information shared, or research provided on this site will come from credible sources that will when needed be specifically referenced; otherwise information will come from my personal educational background and any opinions will be clearly stated.
Having said all this however, do not take my word as absolute truth; remember it is every person’s responsibility to be accountable to and for themselves. Any medical advice you may need on the topics discussed, should come from a natural health care professional such as a licensed naturopath. I hope more than anything to educate and inspire you to start your own inquisitive journey through life, and find out how you will achieve and maintain the highest version of your health and wellbeing!
Wishing YOU a wonderful journey into optimal health and wellness!
