As our lives change and choices become habits, our future is altered … It is the culmination of daily choices that will create the sum total of our healthcare outcomes; do we chose to repair or prevent?’ Patients often ask their health-care providers how they can improve their health. Sadly, much of this advice comes after the person is already sick or feeling less than healthy. As compared with repair methods, which are normally linear in their cause and effect approach, the vast power of preventive medicine is its ability to be significantly broader in effect. This means that just one preventative change can affect many outcomes. Prevention is, by nature, much more powerful and thus medically sound. As our lives change and choices become habits, our future is altered. Poor habits clearly have more potential to decrease positive cellular activity, and so the opposite is also true. We must focus our energy on powerful and productive health habits. It is the culmination of daily choices that will create the sum total of our health-care outcomes; do we chose to repair or prevent? When parents or health-care providers spend a disproportionate amount of time on repair and restore options rather than prevent and promote, we tend to find less healthy people and homes. In order to place an emphasis on preventing and promoting, health, office and home protocols need to be in place. The following tips may be useful in practice and within families to promote healthier lifestyles: Tip 1: Eat fat, but especially the right fat Our bodies rely on food to provide nutrients that we cannot generate on our own—essential fatty acids for example. Our vascular and nervous systems rely on these fatty acids to function properly, and when the level of essential fatty acids is reduced, our body’s functions also decline. Ingestion of Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) has been shown to reduce triglycerides and greatly improve our vascular and neurological health. Sadly, most people are always on the go and tend to rely on fast, pre-prepared foods that are loaded with the wrong fat, Omega-6. Excessive consumption of this fat has been linked to an increase in pro-inflammatory activity, meaning it may increase risk for heart disease and vessel inflammation. To be healthier, we must consume the appropriate daily amount of essential fatty acids. The LifeLong Vitality pack contains what we need. Prevention is, by nature, much more powerful and thus medically sound.

Tip 2: Find time to relax and reduce stress In my practice, we diffuse Wild Orange, Grapefruit, and other calming citrus oils to modify the negative emotional response associated with the traditional aseptic smell of many medical facilities. Calming is not just a state of mind, but rather a complete physiologic response. The individual who is nervous and distraught will almost always have elevated blood pressure, pulse, and breathing as well as sweaty or clammy skin. These factors contribute to not only an unpleasant work environment for the staff, but to a poor patient experience as well. By doing nothing more than diffusing citrus essential oils, we can watch these physiologic conditions change before our eyes—it is nothing short of amazing. While we see this occurring in our patients, we can also assume it will do the same in our homes. Diffusing oils creates an environment conducive to study, clear thinking, and restful sleep. Prevention is, by nature, much more powerful and thus medically sound.

Tip 3: Clean with essential oils Within all families, there are many factors that can jeopardize a healthy immune system. The cleansing properties of many essential oils—such as On Guard, Lemon, Wild Orange, and Purify—will reduce if not completely eliminate most harmful elements that can weaken your body’s natural defense mechanisms. Many studies have shown that essential oils are effective on contacted surfaces, in the air, and even in wet solutions. Mixing a concentration of On Guard in spray bottles can be an excellent cleaning solution that can help purify contacted surfaces. The oils can also be diffused in areas such as the waiting room, conference rooms, and front desk areas. As a father and health-care provider, my decisions are based on both scientific and practical knowledge, which allows for the introduction of natural solutions into the health-care needs of my family and my patients. By simply adding a daily regimen of high quality supplementation and utilizing essential oils, we can enhance wellness, change moods, and reduce toxic load.

Dr. Steuer is actively involved in researching new ways to incorporate essential oils into his practice. “An intra-oral regimen of Cinnamon and On Guard is not only good for our breath, but also can improve the overall health of your gums and teeth. Brush your teeth every day with On Guard toothpaste. Then, place one drop of Cinnamon oil on your toothbrush and scrub your tongue.
