This newsletter announces our new format
and new massage therapist
July 11, 2010
New!
Hi ,
Can you believe the newsletter has been coming out for over 2 years now! Yup, we just passed our 50th issue, so it is about time we upgraded our format. I have been asking for feedback from you on what you like about the newsletter and what you don't like. The most frequent response I have gotten is "I love the articles, they explain things so easily, but the letter is too long - I usually don't finish it all."
For a couple of month now I have been planning to change to format to just sending out short abstracts of the articles with links to the full article you could click on to read the full article if you were interested. I mentioned this to a few people but then got the feedback that folks rarely followed links due to lack of time and really wanted the full articles up front.
So how do I shorten the newsletter without leaving out your favorite part? Everyone seems to like different parts best. The only answer I could come up with was to break up the newsletter into smaller, more focused pieces... a health article one time, recipe the next, newsworthy items the next, and so on.
So you may be seeing FOHAC News in your email box a little more often. I will still try to write a couple health articles each month as usual. But when something new comes up like a guest article or a news flash I will send it out as soon as I get it put together.
Take care
David
Remember my sister Jennifer as a massage therapist in the office? Well she has gotten a good massage therapist friend of hers, Lorena Morales to take her place! Now Lorena has a real sweet temperament just like Jennifer, plus an additional gift. Lorena is blind, so you can imagine how that improves her sense of touch...and touch is everything in massage. Initially Lorena will be making her own appointments as she is still transitioning from the salon she is currently working in (plus she has to enter her appointments in braille in her book, something we don't know how to do.) So give the office a call to get her appointment number.
Another Announcement
We will be on vacation from August 12 - 19.
Yes, Ellen and I are heading off to the sunny shores of Maui for a week thanks to the generosity of Ellen's cousin Joan and her husband Terry. They are giving us a week in their condo on the beach! Sweet.
Healing the Source
A recent government report states that stress is the cause for up to 90% of doctor visits. 90%! That makes stress the number 1 health issue in
America today - not cancer, not diabetes, not heart disease, but stress. What is the number 1 complaint people report to doctors? ... back pain! So what percentage of back pain is caused by stress? You guessed it - 90%.
Why are we so stressed? What is so much more stressful now than just 50 years ago? No one talked about stress when I was growing up in the 50's. Our standard of living is much higher now. Our opportunities have never been so varied and abundant. What has shifted so radically in our culture over the last 50 years that stress is now our number 1 health issue?...And what can we do about it?
I am going to be giving a talk on Healing the Source of our stress in the near future, but would like to hear your thoughts on the subject first. Please email me at david@fairoakshealth.com and let me know why you think we are all so stressed these days.
Thank you.
