What am I really hungry for?

We are often asked what makes the practice of Balance Equals Health unique? 

As health care practitioners our mission is to improve health and reverse chronic illness by helping people achieve their innate potential through Acupuncture, Chiropractic and Nutrition.  

For example, at times we consume food and drink as part of our culture celebrating birthdays and holidays and other times we eat before bed or when we are feeling sad or frustrated.  

That's when it gets interesting.  We want to know how you are emotionally, whats going on in your life, how are your relationships, are you exercising, drinking enough water, etc...
We become part of your healthcare team that takes every facet of your wonderful self and explore with you why your body is manifesting the symptoms that you are experiencing. We then physiologically look to the foundation or root cause and work to correct the imbalance.

 It's interesting to understand what drives our behaviors.  Sometimes a craving is just a craving but more often it serves as a message about where we are physically, emotionally, and/or chemically.  Think about when you had too little sleep the night before and what you want to eat the following day or what about after a stressful day at work?  Think about what you feel like eating after a junk food binge.  What about when you're traveling and have less access to healthy foods?  

How can you achieve a higher level of balance within your state of health?  What can you do differently?
