2009

We would like to wish you a Happy New Year. This is the time of year that we often set intentions and entertain the idea of changing old habits. Sometimes it can be challenging to implement these changes. The providers at Two Rivers Natural Health are happy to support you in making the lifestyle changes you are striving for. It is always easier to shift old patterns when you have someone like us supporting and educating you through the process.

Keep us in mind for anything from smoking cessation and weight loss to detoxification
and prevention of chronic illness. For those of you with high insurance deductible or those with no insurance at all, preventative medicine is so important because you can’t afford to get sick. Natural
medicine is a gentle and effective way to support your body in achieving optimal health.

We look forward to hearing your story.

Sincerely,

Tucker S Meager, ND & Aarin Meager-Benson, ND

If you can't afford health insurance you cant afford to get sick

DrMeager@TwoRiversNaturalHealth.com (DrMeager@T) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 01:00:00 MST

In this troubling economy it is vital that we stay on top of our health so that we do not have to suffer the physical and financial burdens of preventable disease. The approach of naturopathic medicine to your health care gives you and your family powerful options for health maintenance and disease prevention.

The cost of health care is on the rise and it is estimated that 37% of Americans are burdened by healthcare related debt (1). Much of these healthcare dollars are being spent to treat preventable disease, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

“The 2007 per capita annual costs of health care for people with diabetes was said to be $11,744 a year, of which $6,649 (57%) is attributed to diabetes itself.” (2)

It is not hard to see how prevention could significantly save you money. And the risks of not taking action are significant as well. Astonishingly in 2001 well before our countries economic hardships a study published in the policy journal Health Affairs stated:

“Between 1.9 and 2.2 million people were driven into bankruptcy because of health care costs in 2001” (3)

We are all at risk of the consequences of our western diet and culture. If we do not take personal responsibility for our risk now, then we will still be forced to take responsibility for the health care costs and physical limitation that are inherent to the manifestation of disease.

In order to maintain health we must find ways to eliminate or mitigate the deleterious effects of chronic stressors. Naturopathic Doctors strive to seek the cause of the imbalance in their patient’s lives so that they can allow the body to function optimally again.

If you cannot afford health insurance then you must take action toward the prevention of disease and the maintenance of wellness in your life. The cumulative benefits of naturopathic care cannot be overlooked.

Announcing the arrival of our precious Milam

DrMeager@NDmed.net (DrMeager@N) — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 01:00:00 MST

Our first child was born on October 22nd. It was a beautiful natural birth at home in water with our awesome midwife, Jasmine Bissell.

Milam is a very sweet and easy going baby. He is growing so fast, and we are cherishing every moment of his development. It has been especially fun lately since he started smiling. We have learned so much, and we continue to grow with each day. Aarin enjoyed a memorable 6 weeks at home with her son, and is now back in the office. When you come in, you will get to meet him for yourself.

Healthy Tips for Saving Money

DrMeager@TwoRiversNaturalHaealth.com (DrMeager@T) — Mon, 9 Feb 2009 01:00:00 MST

1. Drink more water.
Drinking adequate amounts of water will not only improve the health of your body and correct common issues with dehydration it can save you money too. Just drink a large glass of water before any meal and it will help to curb your appetite and in turn your food bill. Not to mention the added weight loss benefits.

2. Cut back on Convenience Foods and Fast Food.
This simple step will not only save you from the extra expense of empty calories in your diet as well as reduce the damaging effects of these foods on your body. Your weekly eating expenses will go down in the short term and your health care costs will benefit in the long run. In order to have snacks, make your own. An good hour spent in the kitchen on the weekend can give you a lot of inexpensive and healthy snacks to eat all week.

3. Give up expensive habits, like cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs.
Kicking the habit of smoking or recreational drugs and alcohol can give your health a needed boost and eliminate this wasteful spending habit. Get tough on your bad habits, it will pay off in the long run. If you need help we are always here for you.

4. Keep your hands clean.
Sounds pretty simple. Just wash your hands thoroughly each time you use the bathroom or handle raw foods, this will keep you from acquiring all kinds of viruses and bacteria, saving you on medical bills and lost productivity. Getting your hands dirty is good for you but washing them off after can be just as healthy.

5. Don’t spend money just to de-stress.
Many people spend money to release and or distract themselves from the stresses of their day. This one seems less pertinent but studies show it to be true, when we are stressed we spend money. If you know this to be your habit, replace it with something healthier. A yoga class, or a walk in the woods can help to release your stress and ease your cravings for consumption.

Support Naturopathic Licensure in Colorado

DrMeager@TwoRiversNaturalHealth.com (DrMeager@T) — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 01:00:00 MST

The honerable senator Cathleen Curry is sponsoring HB-1175 to regulate the practice of naturopathic medicine. Please take a moment to support tis bill by writing your congressmen and the congressmen that comprise the health and human services commitee.

Please click here to join the COANP legislative action email list. You can also send a letter to the commiteee members directly through the signup website.

This bill will create a task force to evaluate the scope of practice for Naturopathic Physicians and will collect data over a period of 3 or so years to determine how to regulate the profession. This bill does not effect the practices of anyone whom do not call themselves Naturopathic Doctors and is intented to clear up a significant public misunderstanding about the nature of the naturopathic profession.

We strongly beleive that regultion of the profession will allow fora reduction in the fraud perpetrated on the public by those whose educational pursuit do not rise to the level of Doctoral training. This regulation will also allow access to Coloradans to competent and credentialed naturopathic medicine. Please support Naturopathic Medical licensure and the future of sustainable medicine in Colorado.

Wellness Program

drbenson@tworiversnaturalhealth.com (drbenson@t) — Fri, 4 Mar 2011 01:00:00 MST

We are excited to announce the implementation of the Wellness Program at Two Rives Natural Health. Dr. Benson and Dr. Meager have envisioned this program for many years because they realize that vitamin supplementation can be confusing, inconvenient and expensive. A common problem is that over-the-counter products tend to be less absorbable, which means people are essentially wasting their money and efforts to improve their health by taking low grade supplements. Another issue is that we get so distracted by our busy lives that we often put off wellness checks, which is an extremely important part of disease prevention. This program intends to address these issues and help patients stay on top of their health by being proactive and taking highly absorbable products.

The Wellness Program includes monthly vitamins and nutrients packaged in a convenient daily pack, an annual wellness visit and a 15% discount on all services. This program is a great way to ensure compliance with taking your vitamin essentials as well as increasing vitality and preventing disease.

Seasonal Allergies

drbenson@tworiversnaturalhealth.com (drbenson@t) — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 01:00:00 MST

Seasonal Allergies

This is the time of year that a lot of people start to experience issues with seasonal allergies. Colorado is a particularly challenging state for allergy-sufferers because of the dry climate. It can lead to dry mucous membranes which are more likely to become irritated and inflammed in the face of pollens and circulating particulate matter.

Symptoms of seasonal allergies include; fatigue, congestion, headache, insomnia, dry and sore throat, irritability, mental foggyness, coughing and sneezing. The symptoms can be quite severe and lead to lack of productivity and inability to function. Most people turn to over the counter or prescription products to minimize symptoms. However, this approach does not address the underlying cause and can eventually lead to liver stress and immune suppression.

Naturopathic medicine has some useful approaches to managing allergies. There are several herbs and nutrients that can be helpful to support the system, such as Vitamin C. I have been very impressed with the efficacy of NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques) to manage allergies. NAET strengthens the immune and nervous systems. It also decreases these system's reactivity to allergens leading to long term relief from allergies.

After moving to Colorado, I would experience severe seasonal allergic reactions during the spring and fall. I found that I had to turn to anti-histamines to function, but would often need to take several days off work nonetheless. The NAET seasonal allergy protocol was so effective that I did not suffer at all last fall and am healthy so far this year as well. I look forward to sharing the natural options with my patients so that they can enjoy beautiful Colorado year-round, free from the limitations of seasonal allergies.
