Wellness Advice

Immune Support
"Healthy immune support can be directly associated with gut health wellness. Our microbiome is a plethora of immune support with good gut bacteria known as commensal bacteria. Ongoing data continues to support the relationship between a healthy immune system and the microbiota."-Deborah Manke, HNP, IFMCP, ANP-BC, APHN-BC, ADS Holistic Nurse Practitioner -
Sleep
"Sleep can heal the body of almost any malady. Better the sleep of an insomniac and you are 50% better already. We give our sleep hygiene handouts and are aggressive with working folks up for central and obstructive sleep apnea (home sleep study tests (HSS))"-Dr. Saleeby, MD, CTPMedical Director Carolina Holistic Medicine"More studies than ever before show the benefits of good quality uninterrupted sleep for longevity, long term quality of life. Aim for 7-8 hrs quality sleep nightly!"-Deborah Manke, HNP, IFMCP, ANP-BC, APHN-BC, ADS Holistic Nurse Practitioner -
Inflammation
"Inflammation is not just a ''hot elbow'' after bashing it in a door frame; it can be unrecognized. There are hundreds of inflammatory markers (tests that detect inflammation in the body)."-Dr. Saleeby shares the following tests to detect inflammation and treat it from there. Fibrinogen, CRP, LpPLA2, MPO, IL6, IL2 and many others. Visit Carolina Holstic Medicine to learn more about detecting inflammation in the body and proper treatment."Inflammation in the body most often is a sign of imbalance as the body compensates for "this fire within". Very low levels of inflammation can be normal. When we have body aches/pains and complaints and work to address the root cause of the complaint, we are addressing an inflammatory process most often."-Deborah Manke, HNP, IFMCP, ANP-BC, APHN-BC, ADS Holistic Nurse Practitioner -
Nutrition
"Proper nutrition: plenty of veggies and fruit daily; fiber is key; drinking filtered water according to one's body size."--Deborah Manke, HNP, IFMCP, ANP-BC, APHN-BC, ADS Holistic Nurse Practitioner"Eating a diet rich in prebiotics keeps your digestive system healthy, which is important for proper detoxification and immune health. You can also enhance your body’s natural detoxification system and improve your overall health by staying hydrated, consuming less salt, staying active, and following an antioxidant-rich diet. The berries and flowers of elderberry are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that may boost your immune system. They could help tame inflammation, lessen stress, and help protect your heart health."--Fabiola Johnson, Owner of Salt and Detox Oasis"Food sensitivities and intolerances create inflammation that starts in the gut and spreads all over the body. Eating the right foods for a healthy gut is actually a great step to reducing pain."--Regenerate Chiropractic -
Healthy Kids
The POWER of Elderberries® encourages happy healthy smiles ages 1 to 100! Children of all ages appreciate the delicious taste of our signature elderberry liquid and bites for immune support. We asked asked our holsitic partners that recommend The P.O.E their advice and tips on how to support children have a happy, healthy school year. Here is what they shared:"DON'T isolate your child from the world around them. In other words do not put your kid in a bubble. Allow them to be exposed to bugs, dirt, microbes and parasites and viruses too. They will develop a good hearty natural immune system. They will be less likely to develop autoimmune diseases and asthma, food allergies and also will be better able to fight off infections."-Dr. Saleeby, MD, CTPMedical Director Carolina Holistic Medicine"Our children's health and wellbeing is vital to a happy and productive school year! Eating 6-9 servings of fresh veggies/fruits, drinking plenty of filtered water, getting outside in the fresh air daily, having movement, taking breaks from electronic gadgets and providing bedtime rituals establishing 7-9 hrs of good quality sleep are all keys to a focused school year."-Deborah Manke, HNP, IFMCP, ANP-BC, APHN-BC, ADS Holistic Nurse Practitioner"Keep an eye on the weight of your child's backpack when heading back to school. One that's over 10-20% of their weight can have negative effects on your child's developing spine and can contribute to poor posture and back pain." -
Healthy Aging
"Healthy aging is what most of us are aiming for regardless of age! What we eat, how we move, how we sleep, what we think about and even what we say/do impacts our aging plus day-to-day wellness."-Deborah Manke, HNP, IFMCP, ANP-BC, APHN-BC, ADS Holistic Nurse Practitioner -
Exercise
"As Dr. Matt always says - Motion is Lotion! Especially as we age, daily exercise and stretching is needed to keep a good range of motion in our joints and bodies pain free."--Regenerate Chiropractic"Energy and endurance can be a direct result of increasing movement in one's body! Exercise is another key to longevity as is overall wellness metabolically, even in the musculoskeletal system and within many biologic body system processes. Exercise: exercise a minimum of 150 min/week, nonstop exercise; get outside and move!"--Deborah Manke, HNP, IFMCP, ANP-BC, APHN-BC, ADS Holistic Nurse Practitioner -
The Big Picture
We know how important having a supportive community of friends and family is to our health journey. We asked our referring holistic partners to share how they've seen this play out in their patient's lives. Here is what they shared:"By establishing [relationships with the holistic community we can not only educate one another on some of the most effective products and tools, we also support local which is vital to holistic community sustainability. From our experience, holistic care in one's health journey creates sustainability for wellness in many aspects. We are not parts and pieces that are unwell, we are a whole and holistic health care focuses on total body wellness to achieve one's complete health journey."--Deborah Manke, HNP, IFMCP, ANP-BC, APHN-BC, ADS Holistic Nurse Practitioner"Many women want to know how they can have the best birth possible. The triad of success is nutrition and exercise, good support from family and mutual trust in your care team. These three foundational factors are mostly in your control! The BEST insurance for a happy, healthy outcome really is up to you, eating well and resting enough while you make a birth plan with confidence."--Audrey Trepiccione, CPM, LM Oceanside Midwives, LLC"As an Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist I know for sure the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Eating good wholesome seasonally fresh foods and drinking plenty fresh water, mindful movement such as yoga and walking, finding time each day to sit in reflective stillness and gratitude, getting out and basking in the beauty of nature, as well as healthy emotions and open communication are all ways to support the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
