LETTER FROM THE TE
magazine
A new year has arrived along with all the expectations of what it will bring.
Newborn 2015 offers each of us a fresh start, a blank canvas. What 2015 will hold
for you is limited only by your imagination and will to succeed!
Perhaps this is the year you finally take that trip youve always wanted. Youll
travel near, far and everywhere in between; you will see all this wide world has to
offer. In 2015 you will immerse yourself in other cultures, make new friends and
learn more about yourself than in all your previous years combined.
Or perhaps you will experience something a bit closer to home. Maybe youll
break a bad habit or overcome a challenge thats been plaguing you for some
time. Is this the year youll turn your finances around, start investing for the
future and pave your way to becoming debt-free?
Maybe 2015 will open the door to learn a new skill. Is a different language, a
musical instrument or an artistic medium like sculpture or painting waiting for
you? Adding a new means of self-expression to your life can be extremely fulfilling. Perhaps youll make it a priority to journal every week or even every day this
year. Just think of all youll discover about yourself and the world around you
when you take time to reflect.
Will this be a year of healing? If youre hurting, know that you deserve to feel
happy. Make this the year you truly and fully forgive yourself for your past transgressions both those against others and yourself. Take those necessary first
steps to move past the pain and rediscover joy.
Perhaps youll feed your soul this year. Whether you find your connection to
something greater in a defined faith or outside of one, rejoice in it! Take time to
nurture your spiritual side.
Is this the year you start and stick to your goal of building the healthiest
life you can?
Whatever you choose to focus on in 2015, Natures Pathways will be behind
you, offering guidance and resources along your journey to wellness in every
sense of the word. This months magazine offers countless tips on how to live
your very best life. So what does 2015 have in store for you? To find out, turn

Hypothyroid symptoms may seem
nonspecific. They may overlap with symptoms related to other conditions, such as
food allergies, adrenal dysfunction, iron
deficiency and hormonal imbalances.
Careful evaluation of your symptoms, lab
results, physical exam, deep tendon reflex
speed, diet, medical and family history and
toxin exposure should be used to create a
personalized treatment plan for you. This
is important because each person may have
different contributing factors that need to
be addressed, such as:
POOR DIET one that is low in
iodine, L-tyrosine, zinc and selenium
vital components that the body needs
to manufacture thyroid hormones.
I recommend a pharmacy-grade,
www.naturespathways.com
DISRUPTED GASTROINTESTINAL
(GI) FLORA can also contribute to
malabsorption, poor detoxification of
toxins and poor conversion of T4 to
the biologically active hormone T3.
STRESS can cause high cortisol
and estrogen levels, which prevents
ovulation and is common in times of
hormone transition such as perimenopause. Female hormone testing and
prescription progesterone therapy may
be helpful. Certain supplements, foods
and more fiber may be prescribed to
help increase the clearing of excess
hormones from the body.
LOW VITAMIN D levels affect the
cellular thyroid receptor response.
LOW FERRITIN decreases the transport of thyroxine into the cell nucleus.
Did your doctor say your thyroid is working
just fine because he/she only tested your
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level
and the result was in the normal range? Or
are you taking a T4-only thyroid medication
(i.e., Synthroid) but your symptoms persist? I

spray techniques, whereas wax finishes
require some elbow grease and patience
to get comfortable with the technique. In
general, waxes must first be applied in a
circular motion with an applicator pad,
cloth, brush or sponge. Within a minute or
two, wipe the wax in the same direction as
the wood grain. And finally, buff the wax
to a shine once the wax has begun to cure
or dry.

...................................................
aring for pets is sometimes compared to raising children. Though the two are not exactly the same, there are
similarities between raising a child and caring for a pet.
Like curious kids, fearless pets may not understand the potential
hazards around them, and some of these dangers differ depending
on the season.
Winter
Cold weather and snow may make both pets and people less likely
to venture outdoors. Dogs that use the yard to relieve themselves
often cannot avoid the ice and snow. These conditions can put
pets at risk.
As with humans, animals are susceptible to hypothermia and
frostbite. When the weather is cold, pets should not remain
outdoors without shelter for extended periods of time. The
Humane Society of the United States advises that exposed skin on
noses, ears and paw pads can quickly freeze and suffer permanent
damage. Dogs and cats are safer and warmer indoors.
Salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice can irritate
pet paws. When the animal then licks irritated paws, the chemicals can be transferred to the tongue and mouth. Rinse paws after
dogs come in from walks, or use protective booties to keep feet
covered. Limit the amount of products you use to melt snow,
opting for sand or cat litter for traction.
Provide more water during the winter when the effort it takes
for pets to keep their bodies warm can quickly deplete their
energy stores. Compensate by giving pets a little more food and
water in the winter.
Pets may be attracted to automotive antifreeze due to its sweet
smell and taste. But antifreeze can be toxic. Coolants and antifreeze made with propylene glycol are less toxic to pets, wildlife
and even human beings.
14
Spring
Summer
Hot weather can be very hazardous, as heat stroke and dehydration are potential summertime problems for pets. Old and young
pets are less capable of regulating their body temperatures, making
them especially susceptible to hot spells. Keep pets indoors during
the hottest hours of the day and provide plenty of water.
Chemicals used to maintain a swimming pool are dangerous
to pets and people. They should be stored out of reach to prevent
accidental contact or ingestion.
Some dogs and cats may be good swimmers, but that does not
mean they should be left alone in swimming pools. As you would a
child, keep a watchful eye on pets when theyre in or around pools.
Warmer weather brings out the bugs, and so keep pets

Are you
allergic to the
outside
world?
......................................................................
By Zachary Paul, D.C.
Extreme allergic responses, such as anaphylactic shock, shown by people who are
allergic to peanuts can be a life-threatening
situation. However, many people confuse
a food allergy with a food intolerance or
sensitivity. Less than 5 percent of the United
States population has a true food allergy.
A true food allergy needs to be considered something separate than an intolerance, which is less severe and does not
create an immediate allergic response.
A person has control over the immune
system by managing the amount of inflammatory products that they consume. The
most common food sensitivities causing
inflammation are wheat, milk, corn, soy,
yeast, chocolate, and eggs, according to
the book Your Hidden Food Allergies Are
Making You Fat.

These lamps put off light that mimics the suns natural glow. Being
in a room with one of these for as little as 30 minutes a day can
increase your mood. If you are not able to purchase one of these,
try to sit near the window at home and office so that the sunshine
streams in and around you.
VACATION. The snowbirds have the right idea! Why wait until
retirement to fly south for the winter? Plan a weekend trip somewhere warm. Often you can find great deals at resorts because it
is their off season. Plan a trip in advance to save on fees and get
some warmth. A travel agent can help you troubleshoot and find
the perfect place within your budget.
KEEP YOUR SLEEP SCHEDULE. It can be difficult when it is
you fall asleep prior to your normal bedtime you run the risk of
waking up in the middle of the night or early in the morning, such
as at 3 a.m. This does not help with mood at all. Just one night of
poor sleep can cause a change in mood, not to mention fatigue.

...................................................
By Julie Filapek
Elkind cites Kenneth Kenniston, professor of human development at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): We
measure the success of schools not by the
kinds of human beings they promote but
by whatever increases in reading scores
they chalk up. We have allowed quantitative standards, so central to the adult
economic system, to become the principal
yardstick for our definition of our childrens worth.
What concerns Elkind, and me, about
this kind of educational ethos is what it
does to our childrens motivation for learning. If what the adults care about is the
demonstration of knowledge (e.g., by way
of test scores), it follows that that is what
their kids will also come to value not the
flash of confidence when the logic of long
division suddenly makes sense, not the
recognition and deep understanding of a
literary metaphor. Just the score, the grade,
the percentile.
What a diminishment, what a travesty,
of what should be a peaceful and lifeenhancing adventure in learning and in
life.
Julie Filapek is a parent and the business manager
for The Cooperative School, a private, nonsectarian primary school in Appleton, serving grades 1-6.

How to be a
goal-getter
year-round
.........................................................
By Heather LaFond
t has become socially acceptable to let our New Years resolutions fall to the wayside weeks into the new year. A resolution is defined as a decision or determination; a resolve
to come to a definite or earnest decision; or to determine to do
something. Due to a lack of determination and/or willpower, by
the time you read this, several individuals have already given up
on their resolution completely. What sets successful people apart
from those who are less successful?
MINDSET. Our mindset in itself is often a self-fulfilling proph-
ecy. As Confucius said, The man who says he can, and the man
who says he cannot are both correct.
It is great to have a goal. It is even better to envision yourself
achieving that goal. One way to help you to visualize your success
is to build a dream board. Place all of the things you envision for
yourself on that board. Look at it every day and imagine yourself being successful! Believe you can and you will be capable of
achieving anything.

Body, Mind & Sport. His study revealed the benefits of breathing
through the nose versus the mouth while exercising. While heart
rate was consistent whether the participant was breathing through
the mouth or nose, the breath rate was consistently lower when
happening through the nose. The study also proved that conscious
nose breathing had a lower perceived exertion level and the parasympathetic nervous system was activated at a higher level. Brain
waves were also monitored and they showed the individuals to be
more coherent and the entire brain pattern was more relaxed with
nose breathing. The brain wave patterns recorded were those associated with deep relaxation and a meditative state of consciousness.
Visit Douillards website, www.lifespa.com, to learn his oneminute breathing technique and increase your endurance level
while exercising and nose breathing.
Proper breathing techniques can heal physical ailments, reduce
stress and assist in pain management. Something to add to your
tool box of personal health care is conscious breathing. Explore
some of these options and see what resonates with you and
embrace the new year with a conscious breath.
Katie Presutti, RYT, is the director of creative development at
Balance on Buffalo, which exists as an oasis, providing a safe and
nurturing space in which to manifest and empower your own innate
capacity to heal. Massage therapy and bodywork, sound massage,
and Reiki, coupled with our ongoing yoga classes, kirtan and special
workshops are all intended to spark an unfolding of the beauty and human potential that each of us carry within. We are here to guide and nurture a greater awareness and unification of mind, body, heart and spirit by exploring the space that

moves and interacts with gravity. Gravity can be either a nourishing or destructive force. When we are dealing with a body
weighed down with years of emotional baggage and stress, or a
body abused from hours and hours of unhealthy sitting posture
behind the wheel or a computer, often we are looking at a physical
structure that has been dramatically pulled off of its natural center
of gravity: a recipe for pain.
In an ideal world, the head, shoulders, hips and ankles would
be effortlessly stacked so as to encourage proper muscle activation and joint tension. Many people today just cannot achieve this
healthy posture without forcefully lifting the head, throwing back
the shoulders or tucking the pelvis. And yet, our bodies are so
innately intelligent, they are unconsciously trying to achieve this
ideal whether we are moving, standing or just being. This disharmony creates tension throughout the body, creates rigidity that
breaks us, and is an utterly exhausting way to journey through life.
Rolfing Structural Integration (or Rolfing SI) is a dynamic
process and holistic system that works with the bodys natural
intelligence to restore balance and alignment. Through consecutive sessions of manual therapy and movement education, Rolfing
SI addresses tension and constrictioning of the fascia, the web of
connective tissue that envelopes, supports and holds the entire
body.
A restriction in one part of the fascial web pulls the entire body
out of alignment. This is why we often see foot or knee problems
originating in the hips, or wrist and hand issues originating in the
shoulders. And sometimes we see lower body immobility create
conditions for hypermobility in the upper body and vice versa.
Striving to balance (the front side of the body with the back side,
the right side with the left side, and finally the inside of the body
with the outside) creates adaptability and space in previously
restricted joints and tissues. As a result, manually working old
habits, poor posture and unhealthy movement patterns out of the

Repurpose
your old
yoga mat
A whopping 35 great ideas!
.................................................................
By Crystal M. Hill, E-RYT, CTA, CYPT
have a few old yoga mats I dont plan to ever use again. They
are either old and worn out, or I simply prefer not to use them
anymore. (In other words, they do not perform as well as my
favorite JadeYoga mat.)
I hate creating more waste for our environment. So I did some
research and brainstorming, and investigated ways to reuse the
mats instead of tossing them. Here are some creative ideas I found
or came up with myself:
1. Cut into coasters: We currently use these at my yoga studio
for water bottles to protect the wood floor
2. Shelf protectors under plants
3. Drawer liners
4. Mouse pads
5. Floor protectors: Cut your mat into small segments and
place them underneath the legs of furniture
6. Bath mat for babies so they dont slide around in the tub
7. Shipping material/packaging instead of packing peanuts
8. Paint on the mat like a canvas and create original artwork!
9. Cut into grippy jar openers
10. Floor runner under carpets or rugs
19. Cut into fun shapes to use as bath toys or for dipping in
24. Placemats
25. Pet bed/mat

Building a strong
FOUNDATION
re you inspired by 2015 and hoping to get in shape? If so, youre not
alone. Of the 40 percent of Americans who make New Years resolutions, most will endeavor to live a healthier lifestyle, whether its by
losing weight (21 percent), exercising (14 percent) or eating better (7
percent), according to the Huffington Post. If youve made similar resolutions in the past only to fall back on old habits, youre still in good company:
Only 8 percent of people achieve their New Years goals, according to Forbes.
Why is it so hard to stick to a resolution? Many goal-setters rush ahead
and try to do too much, too soon, without taking the time to ensure
theyre starting off on the right foot. They simply dont have the resources,
support and accountability they need to succeed.
Luckily you can find those three necessary ingredients and more locally
at Lake Park Swim & Fitness in Menasha.
This stretches into how LPSF kicks off its relationships with members.
Before exercisers even set foot on the weight room floor, for example, LPSF
provides an initial physical assessment and does a health history, which
helps individuals get a picture of where their fitness level stands now, and
what areas might be best to work on. Plus, the clubs personal trainers
provide a one-hour complimentary new member orientation to explain
and demonstrate how both the cardio and circuit weight machines work
even going so far as to create a complete general workout for the member
to use on their own. Additionally, there are personal training specials for
new members to encourage members to do one-on-one training.
All of this preparation helps new members feel comfortable and at
home at the club. Plus, it helps individuals make healthy changes at a
pace they can handle, that meets their individual health and fitness needs.
Sometimes members try to do too much, Collins says. We want to
help them work within their boundaries so they dont get hurt.
arent there were going to say, Its good to see you! Weve missed you!
Its those types of connections that help people be successful.

Answering questions about

consequences, which are not clear at this time. Will these synthetic
materials result in unintended health consequences in the future?
No one can be sure.
The usual aging process leads to slow decline in the levels of estrogen and progesterone in women and testosterone in both men and
women. The decline in hormone levels begins during middle age
and slowly progresses long before symptoms occur. Women often
experience premenopausal or postmenopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, fatigue, mental fog, memory
problems, insomnia, headaches, decreased libido, breast tenderness, or skin and vaginal atrophy, which may affect sexual activity.
For men, symptoms related to low testosterone are evidenced by
reduced muscle strength, irritability, mental fog, reduced concentration or erectile dysfunction. Both men and women who have
hormone replacement therapy experience relief of these symptoms and receive other benefits, such as increased bone strength,
decreased cholesterol, cardiovascular protection, increased muscle
strength and reduced incidence of Alzheimers dementia.
Controversy regarding synthetically manufactured hormones
is based on the known and possible negative consequences of
long-term use. When significant health safety concerns arose in
2002 for women using synthetic hormone replacement, millions
stopped taking it according to one survey. Patients and physicians
alike began to search for alternatives. Fortunately, several forms of
bio-identical hormone replacement therapy exist and follow in a
long line of drugs derived from natural plant sources. According

3. Compliance
Continuing to work side by side with the WDNR staff, Outagamie County Recycling pressed the Fox River Mall into recycling
compliance by implementing a public area recycling program. By
mid-March, 2013, the Fox River Mall set up single-stream recycling bins in the main corridors and food court area. The recycling program has proven successful with a very low contamination rate.
5. Waste reduction
As Outagamie County strives to be an industry leader in recycling and waste reduction, the county was extremely happy to
announce in August 2013 that it became one of the first facilities
in the state to implement a voluntary mattresses and box spring
recycling pilot program. The pilot program ran until the end of
June 2014, and it will now be evaluated for long-term feasibility.

Break through
your weightloss plateau
4 great tips to help
you succeed
......................................................................
By Kim Neher, Clinical Nutritionist
our new diet and fitness routine had you dropping pounds
and looking and feeling good until it suddenly just
stopped. Now what?
So, you think youve hit a plateau? A plateau is essentially a
point in your health where things just need to be adjusted. Health
is an ongoing journey, and should never been viewed as a destination point.
Having a stretch where your weight loss slows to nothing is a
natural phenomenon, so do not get discouraged. Youre consuming fewer calories than you used to, so your metabolism has
slowed down to conserve them. Keep in mind that as long as you
stick with your workouts and healthy eating, youll typically start
losing weight again after about three weeks.
Its also important to measure success through other positive
changes to your body, like a smaller waist and hips from lost
inches. You also want to measure success by noticing your body
becoming more toned through lost inflammation and maintenance of lean tissue. If you dont want to wait for the plateau to
end on its own, there are things you need to ask yourself if you
want to jumpstart your losing streak.
If youre only trying to lose 5, 10 or 15 pounds, youre in a different place than someone who wants to drop over that amount, or
well into the triple digits. Youre not necessarily considered obese,
and these pounds are connected to simply wanting to look better.
The human body doesnt want to be carrying around excess
weight, so it will respond to diet and exercise. When you have a
smaller amount of weight to lose, your body is already healthy,
which makes it tougher to lose weight. What people in this situation
often do is cut more calories or increase their time at the gym but
this method will not work. All that does is slow your metabolism
down and send your body into starvation mode. The best quick fix
is to give your body a little more food so it feels secure. Varying
your calorie intake and the specific foods that youre getting your
calories from is a great way to switch things up for your body.

Get back

4 strengthening tips
..................................................
By Tammy Thyssen
1. Back press
knees up, feet planted on the floor. Elongate your butt along the
floor so your lower backs natural arch goes to the floor.
Action: Now press your bellybutton to the floor for five seconds,
then release. Repeat gradually, holding it longer, up to count of 10.
You should be able to breathe and talk while you do this. If you
find it hard to breathe, be sure to press down; dont suck in.
Action 2: While your back is pressed to the floor, lift your right
foot 1 inch off the floor. (Do not lose your backs connection to the
floor.) Lift five times, then repeat with your left foot. Next try both
feet simultaneously, again with a 1-inch lift.
Action 3: One leg at a time, lift your knee to your chest but dont
touch the chest. Keep your leg bent as you bring it back to the
floor. Repeat 10 times for each leg. Then
try both legs at the same time. Tip: Do
not let your back arch at all, at any
time. If it does, youre not ready to
move on to the next exercise.

Finding and
living your
life
passion
.............................................................
By Lisa Klarner
o you ever find yourself transforming into someone you are not
in certain situations? Maybe you
work in a politically charged corporate
environment or are unable to talk openly
about your passions at family gatherings.
In these situations we may feel like chameleons, morphing our behaviors to align
with perceived expectations. All the while
our hearts cry out, wishing for a stronger
connection to our true self.
For people who have found their
passion, its even more heart-wrenching to
adhere to societal norms, especially when
we are drawn further and further away
from the parts of life that bring us joy.
Many people live their lives on autopilot
and are not even aware of the callings of
their heart. We are all so busy with work,
kids and cell phone addictions that we
rarely take time to pause and reflect on
what it is that we really, truly want out
of life. Are we afraid of what we will find
when we allow our mind to stop for even a
brief moment? What will we hear when we
pause and listen to the silence?
Do you have an awareness of what your
passion is? Begin to find out more about
what you really want to get out of life. There
are many vision exercises you can use to
begin digging into these details. Simply
search for finding your life purpose or
life visioning exercise and check out the
sites that draw your interest in. You will
see typical questions like, If money was
no object, what would you do? or If you
knew you couldnt fail, what would you do?

Can psychotherapy
be both scientific
and
spiritual?
................................................................
By Phyllis Kasper
One very interesting client came for help with forgiveness. She
had a strong Christian faith and was motivated to forgive, but was
having a hard time of it. She had chronic pain and disability as a
result of another womans careless driving. What made it so hard
was the drivers lack of remorse and even acknowledgement of
responsibility. In court, the uninjured driver claimed to not even
remember the accident.
My client felt that the devil had her by the toe through her
anger, bitterness and resentment. We were able to obtain her
release through therapy, especially with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for her PTSD. I hope the devil
was disappointed at losing such a beautiful soul.
If you are hesitating to enter psychotherapy out of fear that your
faith or lack of it will be judged harshly, just do the research and find
the right therapist. Therapy encourages hope and provides comfort
and support. It offers you tools for empowerment and healing.
Dr. Phyllis Kasper has expertise in anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic
stress disorder, peak achievement, biofeedback, hypnosis, EMDR, cultural
diversity, pain management and pre-surgical evaluations. She can help you use
personal empowerment to unleash your best you! Call her at 920-693-2250.

ho didnt get a new sweater or another article of clothing for the holidays? Or perhaps with a New Years
goal of weight loss and improved fitness and in a
few weeks, a new jean size to boot? Another popular resolution
involves decluttering and house cleaning. Whatever the reason
for purging out your closet, dont just toss your unwanted items.
Recycle them!
Textile recycling includes the collection of clothes, shoes and
accessories, as well as towels, bedding and even drapery. According to the Council for Textile Recycling, the United States generates an average of 25 billion pounds of textiles each year, which
equates to approximately 82 pounds per person. Sadly, 85 percent
(or 70 pounds per person) ends up in our landfills, with only 15
percent recycled or donated. One reason for low recycling rates
is that people often do not realize clothing in fair or poor condition shirts with missing buttons, pants with tears or thread bare
towels can be recycled.

the babys head. Little tiny earphones are placed in the babys ear
canals. Different pitch tones are presented to the baby. These tones
become softer and softer so an actual audiogram (the picture of
hearing) can be determined. This test works best if the child is
sleeping while testing is occurring.
Hearing loss cannot be seen, so testing is important. Approximately 3 in every 1,000 babies born have some degree of hearing
loss.
Most children born with hearing loss have some hearing. When
hearing loss is mild, it can be challenging for parents to notice
without testing until their child perhaps begins to exhibit speech
delays. For example, if a parent is holding their infant, the parents
voice is close to the babys ears and the baby may be hearing part
but not all of the sounds of speech. The baby needs to be able to
hear all of the sounds of speech and overhear their parent if they
are on the other side of the room.
Universal hearing screening is important. By testing infants we
can provide parents and children with the support and the technology options that each child requires (hearing aids or implants)
so that they can develop speech, language skills and later academic
skills with far less difficulty.

ou want to lose the weight you put on over the holidays but
your wallet is thinner because the holidays are expensive.
You cannot afford to go to the man on TV who says its
not your fault youre fat or the expensive nutritionist to learn to
lose weight.
Dont worry; Grandma Rose is here to help and it wont cost you a
penny.
Weight loss is not as hard as you think. This plan keeps it simple,
is easy to prepare and is really easy to stick with. It is also a healthy
diet loaded with vitamins and minerals no supplements needed.
Heres what to do:
1. Start now and eat only protein: all kinds of meat, fish, eggs and
cheese. Do not eliminate fat from your diet. Cook meats in larger
quantities, such as a beef roast or whole chicken, and keep them
in the refrigerator to make getting your protein easier.
2. Eat only single foods; no combination foods. (Ice cream may
have protein, but is not a single food; it has sugar and other
stuff.) This means no processed foods. No breaded fish or
breaded anything as these are combination foods.
3. Along with protein from meat eggs and cheese, eat vegetables
lots of vegetables and salad with only full-fat dressing. (But
no potatoes! They are high in starch; do not eat them at all.) Use
frozen vegetables, not canned, and cook them in the microwave.
If you want to combine vegetables with meat in some way that is
fine as they are two single foods that you put together. An omelet
can have mushrooms, onions and cheese. Because you put them
together from single foods, they are not combination foods.
4. Add fruit to the protein and vegetables, but only fresh fruit and
no fruit juice. You can eat plain full-fat yogurt that you add
berries and Splenda to. Full-fat cottage cheese is also good with
fruit added.
5. Do not eat grain of any kind at this time. Do not eat rice: it
is almost pure starch. No bread, crackers or pasta either. Eat
nothing made from grain, potatoes or rice.
6. Dont count calories. Theres no need to count calories when
you follow these tips because you will feel satisfied and still
lose weight.
7. If you put sugar in your coffee, switch to Splenda or stevia. Use
