Good Honey Bad Honey



Yes, as you can see by the video below, I'm still rocking the Movember 'stache. Still wanting to promote men's health awareness for a few more days, so....

#DidYouKnow that honey (the right kind of honey, that is) has amazing health benefits? For some interesting details on honey, the good and the bad, watch the video below.

Now that's what I call short and "sweet" :)

Enjoy, and as always, feel free to pass this along!

Movember


MOVEMBER. No, that's not a typo.  For those of you who don't know about Movember (mustache November), it's a movement geared toward raising awareness of men's health issues. Go here to find out more. 

Here's an encore of last Movember's blog: http://dryoshirahm.blogspot.com/2015/11/movember.html

And here's some more video fun: My daughter eating a raw onion at 8 months of age. (You'll understand once you watch the video below ;)

Needless to say, Movember is a most worthy cause because it raises awareness of men's health issues and, regardless of what gender you are, it encourages all of us to live healthy lives. You don't have to be a man to care about men's health.

So, men, if you haven't started already... GROW THAT 'STACHE!!

Happy Movember! :)

Enjoy the videos, and as always, feel free to pass this along!

Oasis is Moving

WHAT?  Oasis Family Medicine is moving. 

WHERE?  Not far.  Not far at all.  Six doors up.  Same side of the street, same block, same town, same county, same state even.   We’ve been at 3527 Ocean View Blvd since 2011.  We will soon be at 3541 Ocean View Blvd.

WHEN?  Likely January 1st, 2017.  Caveat:  You know how construction goes (said with a knowing tone).  Seriously though, we should be there come January 1st.

WHY?  Because we can :)  Super thankful for the space we’ve been in since 2011, but now super excited for a little more space.  We are SUPER excited and ultimately, the new space should lead to an even better experience for everyone.

Please watch the short video below showing you just exactly WHERE the new location will be in relation to our current office.

Excitedly,

Your Oasis Family Medicine Team :)

Eggs Rankings – The BAD and the GOOD



Are eggs healthy, safe, and are they all equal?
It depends, it depends, and no.
They are healthy and safe if you choose high quality eggs.  They are definitely NOT all equal.
Eggs are actually a SUPERFOOD.  One caveat is that they are definitely not a superfood to you if you are actually allergic to eggs or have a food sensitivity to eggs.
I sent an article out in the past about eggs.  However, I came across a great website and wanted to share it with you. It tells us exactly how good various brands of eggs actually are. 
Choosing the highest quality exit is the main thing.  Poor quality eggs are like healthy body kryptonite. Unfortunately, most eggs in the grocery store are healthy body kryptonite.
First. Why are eggs so good? Because they are rich in cholesterol which is vital to your body's health, contrary to what the medical industry has lead people to believe over the last 50 years.  One healthy egg gives us about 200 mg of brain-loving cholesterol along with the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.  Eggs also have many B-vitamins, along with the minerals iron, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium. Eggs also have choline which help break up cholesterol deposits from the arteries which are put there by poor quality eggs.
If you're going to eat healthy eggs, please, please, please eat the yolk!  That has almost all of the real nutrients in it.  If you are food sensitive, it's actually likely to be from the egg white portion.
All eggs are absolutely not created equal. And according to the American Egg Board (yes, I laughed out loud too) there are about 200 companies who have flocks of 75,000 hens or more, which accounts for 95% of all the US egg production. Most of these companies feed their chicken grains, corn, cottonseed meal, and soybean oil meal.
Salmonella infections are much more likely in the large crops also.
As quoted by the Cornucopia Institute:
"The best producers with permanent housing profiled in Scrambled Eggs have plenty of pasture available surrounding their chicken houses, multiple doors of adequate size, and maintain the birds by rotating them into separate paddocks, allowing enough rest for the pasture to recover.
Laying hens on pasture based farms tend to be under less stress based on the greater opportunity to exercise and ability to engage in instinctive forging behaviors that cut down on the aggression toward their flock mates and frequently live closer to three years instead of the one year that is common on industrial scale farms."
I will also say that this ranking does not take into account local pasture raised eggs that you might get at places like Culture Club 101, or Granny’s Pantry, or some farmers markets.  You have to ask, though, especially at farmers markets, as there’s some crappy quality foods at farmers markets too.
Don’t eat any portion of poor quality eggs!
You deserve 5-Star ranked eggs (5-Egg ranked eggs).
Hoping this helps you make better more informed decisions when it comes to getting awesome eggs into your awesome body.

P.S.  Someone (thank you!) just gave me the heads up that the Vital Farms black carton is still fed GMO feed to supplement the pasture. You have to get the green carton and blue carton Vital Farms which are organic and more expensive, of course, to make sure they eat only organic feed.... You can also get fantastic Kepner Farms eggs from the La Canada Farmers Market on Saturdays.

Stress less. Accomplish more. (For real)



Did you see the interview after the Olympics where gold medalist Allison Schmitt said, “Happy swimmers are fast swimmers”? The same is true for you. The less stress you have in your body, the more you are able to accomplish. And the happier you’ll feel.  

Why? Stress makes you stupid.


And yet most of us wear it like a badge of honor. We boast, “I’m so busy.... my life is really stressful.”


What if life could be so much easier without sacrificing your work, your goals, or your happiness?

My friend and rock star meditation teacher, Emily Fletcher, may have the answer for you. She just launched a free, online master class called “Stress Less, Accomplish More.”  And it’s really a must-watch.  

Because you’ll:  

  • Discover your unique reaction to stress (and how it’s keeping you stuck)
  • Learn a relaxation tool to get grounded and focused
  • Get out of the pursuit of happiness and into the happiness of pursuit
  • Enjoy a guided visualization to get out of overwhelm and get on top of your game





Your time is precious. I get that. And I promise that this will be time very well spent.

Emily is the real deal. She takes the woo-woo out of meditation and explains the practical benefits in a way that makes you actually want to meditate.

I can say from personal experience that meditation has helped me accomplish so much more without the stress or overwhelm.
You can watch the master class for free HERE

Enjoy, and as always, feel free to pass this along!

Feeling a little stressed??



Me too. Or at least I used to….

Real talk: all of that rushing and multitasking isn’t actually getting you anywhere. In fact, it might actually be keeping you stuck.

You may be working double-time, but getting half the results.  

It doesn’t have to be that way.

My friend and rock star meditation teacher, Emily Fletcher, is offering a free, online master class starting today called “Stress Less, Accomplish More.” And I’m not kidding when I say these 40 minutes may just change your life.

This exclusive training is all about flipping stress on its head and finding a way out of overwhelm, so you can perform at the top of your game.

Here are my favorite things about the free master class. You get to:


  • Discover your unique reaction to stress (and how it’s keeping you stuck)
  • Learn a relaxation tool to get grounded and focused
  • Get out of the pursuit of happiness and into the happiness of pursuit
  • Enjoy a guided visualization to get out of overwhelm and get on top of your game
This free master class will be available for the next few days, but after that it goes away for good. Not to stress you out, (ha!)… but you’ll want to dive in asap. You can start watching immediately right HERE.
Enjoy, and as always, feel free to pass this along!

Wine Opportunity [If you drink wine, READ THIS!]



If you drink wine.  READ THIS.

Wine. I love wine. But should I drink wine?  Should I feel guilty about drinking a glass (or two or three :)?

You’ve seen the studies that show that wine is good for you. But you know alcohol is bad for you too. Hmmm.

  • Organic.
  • Chemical-free. Did you know that in the US winemakers can add up to 76 different chemicals to your wine during the wine-making process?!
  • Sugar free! Less than one carbohydrate per glass. Most wine makers leave lots of glucose and fructose (sugars) in the wine to make it real sweet.
  • Less than 12.5% alcohol. Did you know that most wine that you buy in the store is actually 7 to 24% alcohol?
  • Nearly sulfite-free. Always less than 75 ppm (parts per million) and usually less than 50 ppm. Most wines are around 300 parts per million as far as I know.  Less sulfites also means that more natural bacteria will survive (which is good).
  • Dry farmed 100%. This means that the wine is made from vineyards that use only natural rainfall rather than using any extra water irrigation, which is just plain a greener way to go.
  • No commercial yeast used. Only the natural yeast that actually grow on the grapes are used.

BTW, most studies actually DO show that MODERATE wine consumption is indeed a net gain for your health, including my all-time favorite – decreased risk of dying.  Now this means around 1-2 glasses of wine some nights (not every night) of the week.  1 or 2 glasses should be based more on someone’s height rather than weight, as unhealthy extra weight does not mean you get to drink more wine.

That was a great article.  I think I’ll drink to that.

Cheers!
