Happy New Year! 

2022 has arrived and it is time again to consider what 

you are ready to let go of and what you want to achieve. This 

time each year, I take inventory of myself, and rather than make a 

resolution that I will most likely not keep, I consider what is no longer 

serving me and how I might remove it from my life. At times, this 

has been a grudge I held for far too long, and at other times a spending 

spree that went on far too long. Making a commitment to myself Candi Broeffle 

in this way empowers me to take on the second part of this process. 

The second step is determining what I want to achieve each year. Whether it is a 

health or self-care goal or something I want to create in my business or personal life, I take 

the time to think about how reaching this goal will positively impact my life. Then I write 

it down. I write it as if it has already happened. I write it as if it is December 31, 2022, 

and I am looking back on all the things I did to reach the goal. It is magical what happens 

when you write down your goal—but it is not all you need to do. 

The most important part of this process is to act. Do something every day to move 

toward your goal. Just a small step—make a phone call, reach out to a potential partner, 

sign up for a class to learn a skill you will need. This action will propel you forward, and 

soon the resources and people you need to reach your goal will appear. You may be thinking 

that this sounds magical, and you are right. It is magical. But it is not unusual. Ask any 

successful person you know about the goals they have achieved and they will inevitably 

share a similar story. 

Taking the time to self-reflect is important any time of the year, but the new year provides 

us the reminder and drive to do so. As you commit to rid yourself of the things that 

no longer serve you and focus on your 2022 goals, be assured that you do not need to do 

this alone. January is our annual Twin Cities Natural Living Directory issue where you can 

learn more about the businesses that support Natural Awakenings Twin Cities magazine 

with their advertising dollars. These are business owners who live their commitments 

every day—commitments to themselves, to their clients and to our community. If you are 

looking for support on your journey, there are no better people to assist you and I highly 

encourage you to engage with them. You will not be disappointed. 

Wishing you a healthy and prosperous New Year!

Partnering Up Supports Small- 

Business Owners with Virtual 

Assistant Services 

Candi Broeffle, business coach and publisher of Natural 

Awakenings Twin Cities magazine, announces the opening 

of her newest venture, Partnering Up Virtual Assistant 

Services. Beginning January 1, she is accepting new clients 

that are ready to take their business to the next level with the 

support of the Partnering Up team. 

“As a small-business owner myself, I understand how difficult 

it is to take care of the day-to-day tasks of the business 

while trying to provide the high-quality services my clients 

expect,” states Broeffle. “It is just not possible to do it all and 

do it well. Things eventually get lost or forgotten, adding more 

stress than is necessary.” This is precisely why Broeffle started 

hiring virtual assistants for her businesses nearly two years 

ago. “I tried services here in the U.S. and abroad, but was 

never completely satisfied. I quickly learned that one virtual 

assistant could not possibly do everything I needed them to 

complete at the level of quality I wanted.” 

Earlier this year, she sought to hire a team that could take 

care of the daily tasks she desperately needed to complete, 

such as social media, marketing and customer management. 

After hiring two full-time employees, Broeffle started to see 

significant progress. “In less than three months, tasks that 

had been on my to-do list for four years were all completed,” 

Broeffle shares. “It felt like a miracle, though I quickly realized 

there was so much more I wanted to do.” 

Broeffle then went on to hire additional team members 

to assist her with podcast management, video editing and 

graphic design. Learning from her advertising clients how 

difficult it was for them to focus on growing their businesses 

while trying to keep up with these tasks, she decided to offer 

the services to a few of them as well. This past October she 

took on her first few clients and witnessed their successes. 

Partnering Up VA Services now has a full team to meet 

the needs of small-business owners, at an affordable price. 

Services include social media management, Facebook Ad 

management, SEO services, WordPress development and support, 

sales funnel builds, content and copy writing, video and 

audio editing, email management, and more.

Energy Shift: Learn to Heal the 

Energy of Your Home and 

Environment 

As people have spent 

more time in their 

homes over the past two 

years, working, learning 

and cohabitating, the 

added stress has affected 

the energy for the worse. 

Negative energy brought 

on from the stress of 

these unusual living 

environments, as well 

as the fear and strife of 

a global pandemic and 

this country’s racial, social and political issues, could be resulting 

in more family arguments and discomfort. 

There is a way to change the energy of the home and environment 

so families can experience more peace and joy. Beginning 

January 12, Annette Rugolo will lead a six-week Diamond Dowsing 

Basic webinar in which participants will learn a technique 

of dowsing that will help them find and cure negative vibrations 

in their home, office and environment. This course teaches the 

techniques that have helped thousands of people around the world 

clear, transform and heal the energy of their homes and land. 

“Past participants of this course report an increase in their 

personal and environmental energy levels,” reports Rugolo. 

“Headaches, foggy brain, sleep issues and overall unease are alleviated 

as they learn how to cure geopathic stress lines, negative 

vortexes, Hartmann and Curry lines and more. It is truly 

transformational.” 

The course is also excellent for realtors and home sellers. 

Clearing the energy and raising the vibration of the home makes 

it more attractive to potential homebuyers, especially if the home 

was filled with grief or anger. “We have all experienced walking 

into a room where people had been arguing or into a space where 

people are grieving the loss of a loved one,” explains Rugolo. 

“The energy is heavy with sadness or anger.” This also happens in 

homes when people are ending a relationship. The property may 

be great on paper and have all the features buyers would love to 

have, but they do not make an offer. They say things like “It just 

doesn’t feel right.” These are called Divorce Homes and they stay 

on the market longer than one would expect. Dowsing to remove 

negative vortexes and raising the energy level can make a difference 

in selling a home quickly. 

Rugolo is a master instructor certified by Marie Diamond. She 

has been teaching dowsing and space clearing classes since 2006 and 

is passionate about helping people transform their lives and their environments. 

Her company, Conscious Life Resources, offers classes, 

consulting and transformation products to help people align and 

create a powerful connection with the Universe and Mother Earth. 

Cost: $298. For more information, visit AnnetteRugolo.com/classes.

Discover the Magic of the 

Enlightened Mountains 

Twenty-four Enlightened Mountains exist on Earth. Each 

mountain is connected to one of the 24 Frequencies of Light, 

as taught in the Inner Diamond Method. Each of these mountains 

holds a light frequency which anchors a Universal Principle for 

the planet. The Universal Principles are anchored by an Ascended 

Master and other 5 th Dimensional Beings who inhabit each peak. 

Annette Rugolo and Nea Clare will lead participants to discover 

the magic and mysteries of these mountains. Each quarter 

will include a webinar journey to six of these mountains, where 

participants will discover the treasures each peak has for humanity 

and the planet. There will be channeled messages, energetic 

transmissions and activations, and gifts along the way. 

At the conclusion of the 12-month program, participants 

will remember who they are at a soul level; gain access to the 

Universal Principles that guide their lives on each of the four levels—success, 

health, relationships; and wisdom—transform the 

old patterns and programs that are holding them back; connect 

consciously to their inner wisdom, sight, knowing and guidance 

system to confidently move forward; and receive personalized 

messages from the Ascended Masters to assist on their journey as 

they align to their greater purpose. 

The schedule for this program is: Journey 1: Success Peaks - 

January 24, 31 and February 7; Journey 2: Health Peaks - April 4, 

11, 18; Journey 3: Relationship Peaks - July 11, 18, 25; Journey 4: 

Wisdom Peaks - October 3, 10, 17.

Use UV Rays and HEPA Filters to Kill COVID-19 Virus 

Ultraviolet (UV) light in various forms has been used 

widely in the last century to disinfect water, air and surfaces, 

but its use in public spaces is increasingly common 

since the COVID-19 pandemic. In a new study published 

in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, University of 

Colorado researchers report finding the sweet spot in the 

UV spectrum that is both extremely effective at killing the 

virus and also safer for human exposure, allowing airports 

and entertainment venues to disinfect even when people are 

barks/AdobeStock.com 

present. The researchers found that while the virus was quite 

susceptible to UV light in general, a specific wavelength of 

far-ultraviolet C at 222 nanometers was particularly effective, 

while remaining safe for human skin and eyes. The 

highest disinfection rate was from krypton chloride (KrCl) 

excimers, a low-pressure, mercury-vapor lamp. 

“Of almost every pathogen we have ever studied, this 

virus is one of the easiest, by far, to kill with UV light,” 

says senior author Karl Linden, professor of environmental 

engineering. 

Also, researchers at the United Kingdom’s Addenbrooke 

Hospital, in Cambridge, studied the use of portable 

high-energy particulate air (HEPA) filters in crowded 

COVID-19 wards. They found that the relatively inexpensive 

machines effectively removed COVID-19 particles 

from the air—the first such evidence in a real-world 

setting. Researchers noted the HEPA filters also removed 

detectable amounts of other pathogens that cause infections 

in hospitals, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia 

coli and Streptococcus pyogenes—a surprising finding 

because these pathogens are not typically considered 

to be airborne.

Eat More Fiber to 

Avoid Liver Fat

In a recent study published in The Journal of Nutrition, 

researchers at Seattle’s Children’s Hospital tested 1,682 

adults from multiple ethnic groups and compared their 

diets to their levels of liver fat, which is linked to nonalcoholic 

fatty liver disease. They found those that ate 

more red meat and saturated fat, and drank more coffee 

had higher levels of liver fat, while those that ate more 

fiber and produce 

containing vitamins 

C and 

E had lower 

levels of 

liver fat.

Try Ear Acupressure for 

Seasonal Allergies 

Allergic rhinitis—the sneezing, 

runny nose and red eyes 

commonly called hay fever— 

affects one in 12 American 

adults and 10 to 30 percent of 

people worldwide. The usual 

treatment of antihistamines, 

decongestants or steroids 

can come with unwelcome side 

effects, but a simple alternative 

approach of ear acupressure may be as 

effective, suggests a new Chinese 

study. Researchers analyzed 11 random 

controlled studies that included 1,094 people with 

allergies. Small cow soapwort seeds or stainless 

steel pellets corresponding to Traditional Chinese 

Medicine meridians were placed with adhesive on their 

ears for several days. The study in Evidence-Based 

Complementary and Alternative Medicine concluded 

that ear acupressure reduced allergy symptoms 

more effectively than an antihistamine, conventional 

medicine, herbs or regular acupuncture.

Never Forget 

Tuskless Elephants Adapting 

to Poaching Scourge 

Approximately 90 percent of 

the elephants in the present-day 

Gorongosa National Park, called one 

of the “last wild places” by National 

Geographic, were poached for ivory 

to finance the civil war in Mozambique 

from 1977 to 1992. Before the 

conflict, less than one-fifth of females 

were born without tusks. Now 

the number is closer to 50 percent. 

A study published in Science Friday 

reveals “smoking-gun evidence 

for genetic changes,” according 

to University of Victoria (Canada) 

conservation scientist Chris Darimont. 

He believes the study helps us 

understand how humans can have a 

major influence on evolution. 

The same phenomenon has also 

been observed in Uganda, Tanzania 

and Kenya after periods of intense poaching. Although 

female and male elephants can be born with tusks, tusklessness 

occurs at around 2 percent in a well-protected 

population. Study co-author and Princeton evolutionary 

biologist Robert Pringle thinks the changes are reversible 

as the population recovers, saying, “There’s such a blizzard 

of depressing news about biodiversity and humans in the 

environment, and I think it’s important to emphasize that 

there are some bright spots in that picture.” 

Bad Actors 

Poachers Upsetting Ecological Balance 

In a paper published in Biological Conservation, researchers 

from the University of Adelaide and an international 

team of experts have concluded that illegal global 

wildlife trade impacts species, 

ecosystems and society in unsustainable 

ways. Co-author Dr. Oliver 

Stringham states, “The trade in wild 

vertebrates alone is estimated to involve 

a quarter of terrestrial species, 

while the trade in ocean life, invertebrates, 

plants and fungi remains 

considerably overlooked and poorly 

documented. As a threat to targeted 

species, the trade represents one of 

the five major drivers of biodiversity 

loss and extinction at global scale.” 

The incidental effects of wildlife 

harvesting include disrupted 

interactions between species 

and ecosystem structure, altering 

species composition, functioning 

and services such as seed dispersal, 

pollination and carbon storage. 

Other secondary effects are decreases in eco-tourism and 

increases in pandemics that originate in wildlife. Co-author 

and Ph.D. candidate Adam Toomes notes, “A large diversity 

of species are not protected by international regulation 

and are traded without any formal documentation process, 

making it incredibly difficult to evaluate the associated 

costs and benefits.” Tools available to curb the trade 

include bans, quotas, protected areas, certification, captive 

breeding and propagation, education and awareness.

Cloudy Skies 

It’s Not the Heat, It’s the Humidity 

For more than 20 years, a large part of the tropical North Atlantic 

Ocean has been warmer than usual, causing more moisture to evaporate 

and fueling strong hurricanes. The amount of vapor in the atmosphere 

has increased about 4 percent since the 1990s, and a wetter 

atmosphere provides extra energy and moisture for storms of all 

kinds. According to data from the Bulletin of the American Meteorological 

Society, midlatitude storms are feeding on the atmosphere’s extra 

vapor too, creating more precipitation. Although carbon dioxide is the 

more recognized problem, water vapor is a more impactful greenhouse 

gas by far because it absorbs a greater amount of the infrared energy 

radiated off the planet’s surface than other greenhouse gases, thus 

trapping more heat. 

A doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations alone 

would warm the globe approximately one degree Celsius, but feedback 

loops make the temperature rise twice as much. Even though disappearing 

sea ice may be dramatic, the extra vapor causes evaporation, 

which traps heat and creates even more warming, representing the 

strongest feedback loop in the climate system. We can reduce the effect 

indirectly by reducing the warming caused by emissions of carbon 

dioxide and methane, as well as propagating trees that absorb carbon 

from the air.

Hello Honey 

Honeybees Dodge Parasites 

with Social Distancing 

A study by University College London 

and the University of Sassari (Italy) 

published in Science Advances shows 

that honeybee colonies respond to 

infestation from harmful mites 

by varying space and interaction 

in the hive to increase 

social distance between the 

younger and older insects. Co-author Dr. Alessandro Cini says, 

“Honeybees are a social animal, as they benefit from dividing up responsibilities 

and interactions such as mutual grooming, but when those social 

activities can increase the risk of infection, the bees appear to have evolved 

to balance the risks and benefits by adopting social distancing.” 

The study assessed the presence of the ectoparasite mite Varroa destructor, 

which causes harmful effects at the colony level, including virus transmission. 

Lead author Dr. Michelina Pusceddu says, “Their ability to adapt their 

social structure and reduce contact between individuals in response to a 

disease threat allows them to maximize the benefits of social interactions 

where possible and to minimize the risk of infectious disease when needed. 

Honeybee colonies provide an ideal model for studying social distancing and 

for fully understanding the value and effectiveness of this behavior.” 

This is a picture 

of a “light cured” 

composite filling. 

They can last as 

long or longer 

than mercury 

fillings with no danger of releasing 

harmful heavy metals. 

As noted on Dr. Mercola,

significant negative impact on your

Health in the New Year 

10 Top Wellness Trends for 2022 

by Sandra Yeyati 

wayhome studio/AdobeStock.com 

Every new year marks the convergence of endings and 

beginnings—an opportunity to assess where we’ve 

been and anticipate where we’re going. As this dynamic 

relates to our health, this year promises an intensification in 

the development and adoption of several trends that have been 

years in the making. 

Plant-Based Foods Take Center Stage 

The consensus among researchers is that filling our plates with 

colorful vegetables and fruits improves health and reduces our 

risk of developing a number of chronic degenerative diseases. 

“This approach, along with eating less meat and avoiding sugar, 

is wonderful to control blood sugar, lower uric acid and nurture 

your microbiome, which is fundamentally important to reduce in- 


flammation, increase your body’s production of antioxidants and 

vitamins and help maintain the integrity of the gut lining so that 

you don’t get leaky gut and, therefore, inflammation,” says boardcertified 

neurologist David Perlmutter, author of Grain Brain and 

four other New York Times bestsellers. 

Awareness of the devastating effects of industrialized meat production 

is also accelerating. “Avoiding animal products is probably 

the first and most important ethical choice one can make,” 

says Princeton University bioethics professor Peter Singer, author 

of the seminal Animal Liberation. “That’s going to dramatically 

lower your carbon footprint. You will no longer be complicit in 

the suffering of tens of billions of factory-farmed animals, and you 

won’t be contributing to the increasing risks of viruses being bred 

in factory farms.”

According to market 

analysis firm CB Insights, 

“As COVID-19 spread 

across the globe, shifting 

consumer behavior and 

virus outbreaks in factories 

has dealt major blows to the meat supply chain, with the beef 

industry alone facing an estimated $13.6 billion in losses.” Several 

U.S. meat processing plants were forced to close their doors. 

In response, a growing inventory of plant-based alternative 

proteins is emerging, offering new products that seek to mimic 

the experience of eating a juicy hamburger (Beyond Meat and 

Impossible Foods) or crispy chicken nugget (Simulate). Banza 

makes high-protein pasta from chickpeas. Retail sales of plantbased 

meals in the U.S. have grown by 25.5 percent over the 

past two years, and other manufacturers joining the field are 

Plantible Foods, Rebellyous Foods, Livekindly and InnovoPro. 

A recent survey found that 36 percent of consumers intend to 

increase their consumption of alternative protein sources in the 

near future. 

Perlmutter cautions, “Just because they’re plant-based doesn’t 

give them full sanction. They may contain unfermented soy, 

which may not be non-GMO or organic, and per an article in 

the New York Times, their carbon footprint may be a lot higher 

in production of these products than we have been led to believe. 

Do a little research on these manufactured foods and go 

for plant-based options that aren’t processed. Shop the periphery 

of the grocery store.” 

Telemedicine Will Continue 

After the Pandemic 

According to management consultants McKinsey and Company, 

when COVID-19 began, the level of telemedicine increased 

in America 78-fold, peaking in April 2020. Although it has been 

declining since then, the use of telemedicine is still at a 38-fold 

increase compared to pre-pandemic times. “While it has leveled 

off, we are going to see persisting use of telemedicine in situations 

that involve basic communication with a patient,” says 

Perlmutter, citing compelling attributes such as cost savings, 

convenience and a lower carbon footprint because people don’t 

have to commute to a doctor’s office. 

Wearable Devices and 

Home Testing Empower Patients 

Perlmutter also anticipates an amplification of the use of wearable 

devices and home testing to provide biometric data that informs 

people about their health status and inspires them to modify 

lifestyle choices. The Oura Ring records the time it takes to get to 

sleep, how many times the wearer awakens during the night and 

how much time they spend in REM and deep sleep. This information 

enables people to modify day-to-day activities to improve the 

quality and quantity of sleep. 

Apple Watch aficionados are increasingly relying on the 

device’s biofeedback features, including its newest metric, blood 

oxygenation, while diabetics 

and non-diabetics 

alike employ continuous 

glucose monitoring systems 

to pinpoint how lifestyle 

choices like food, exercise 

and sleep affect blood sugar levels. “That is not only trending 

now, but will increase quite dramatically as consumers push to 

learn more about themselves,” Perlmutter predicts. “No longer is 

this information going to be siloed in the doctor’s office. People 

are becoming more and more empowered to learn this data about 

themselves and act on it.” 

“Core concepts like being present in the moment or 

taking in the other person in an empathetic way are 

rippling out into so many aspects of life.” 

–Leslie Davenport 

Learning to Improve Genetic Expression 

“Our evolving understanding of epigenetics—how we can change 

our gene expression—is bringing more people on board to the 

idea that our lifestyle choices matter,” Perlmutter says. “When 

I went to medical school, we thought our DNA was locked in a 

glass case and that it would determine everything about us. Nowadays, 

we know that the expression of more than 70 percent of our 

DNA that codes for health and longevity is under our control and 

influenced by our lifestyle choices. The food we eat, whether or 

not we slept well last night, the stress in our lives, whether or not 

we spent time in nature—all of these things, moment-to-moment, 

change our gene expression. Holy Toledo! We now know that 

certain lifestyle choices are good for you because they favorably 

change gene expression. They teach it in med school now. It’s a 

breathtaking reality.” 

Harnessing the Power of Low-Level Stress 

Life hackers and high-performance junkies are looking to leverage 

something called hormesis, which involves introducing low-level 

stress to the body for a positive outcome, so that when the body 

repairs itself from that condition, it doesn’t just repair back to the 

previous level, but to a new one with an advantage. This includes 

exposing the body to a hot sauna or cold exposure through 

cryotherapy, as well as intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating. 

“People are starting to see how good things happen when we 

engage in things that push us in places that are perhaps a little bit 

uncomfortable, activating mechanisms that help with metabolic 

health, immunity, cognitive function and even the growth of new 

brain cells,” Perlmutter explains. 

Mental Health Destigmatized 

When U.S. gymnast Simone Biles dropped out of the 2021 Summer 

Olympic Games citing mental health challenges, she created 

an opening for other people to speak up. If a world champion 

could reveal her vulnerability on the global stage when the stakes 

were so high, certainly so could they. Her compelling story is 

emblematic of an emerging trend: Mental health is gradually 

becoming destigmatized. 

“It’s becoming acceptable to talk about our feelings and ask 

for help, and this trend is shattering unhealthy cultural myths, 

like the erroneous assumption that if we talk about our emotions 


13

we’re going to fall into a pit of despair and sadness,” says Licensed 

Integrative Psychotherapist Leslie Davenport, the author of Emotional 

Resiliency in the Era of Climate Change. “There’s a boldness 

among younger generations that are challenging the status quo 

and demanding to be accepted as they are. Tucking away anything 

that might not be socially acceptable is a part of the past. Kids 

want their families and adults to accept and love them exactly as 

they are.” On Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, #itsoknottobeok is 

a popular hashtag. 

Mental health surveys show that eco-anxiety in particular is 

prevalent among the young. Late last year, scientists at the University 

of Bath, in England, interviewed 10,000 youth between the 

ages of 16 and 25 across 10 continents. In the U.S., 68 percent said 

that the future was frightening. Almost half admitted that they 

had distressing feelings related to climate change on a daily basis, 

42 percent believed that the things they valued most would be 

destroyed and 35 percent feared that their family security would 

be threatened. 

A Surge in Coaching 

According to Davenport, “In addition to therapy becoming more 

acceptable, I’ve seen coaching become more common as another 

option in which people don’t have to examine their past and can 

instead look forward. A coach can help them make sense of their 

life, set goals and hold them accountable.” 

Mindfulness Becomes Ubiquitous 

In a few decades, mindfulness practices have catapulted from 

Buddhist monasteries to corporate boardrooms and have become 

a billion-dollar industry in the U.S. with an 11 percent annual 

growth rate. “Mindfulness has been emerging for a while, but at 

this point, it’s a household word,” Davenport says. “People are talking 

about mindful eating or mindful conversations. Core concepts 

like being present in the moment or taking in the other person in 

an empathetic way are rippling out into so many aspects of life.” 

Therapy and Meditation Apps Abound 

Redefining the conventional, in-person therapy session that is 

50 minutes in a quiet room, therapy apps allow people to have 

short phone calls, video chats or text exchanges with a therapist 

for a low monthly fee. Notable therapy apps include BetterHelp. 

com, OnlineTherapy.com, BrightSide.com and Calmerry.com. For 

meditation, Calm.com, InsightTimer.com and HeadSpace.com are 

dominating the field. 

Virtual Experiences Are Here to Stay 

Many people that were devastated by isolation and loneliness 

during the pandemic sought social engagement via streaming and 

app-enabled webinars, exercise routines or art classes. Suddenly, 

virtual conferences attracted participants from all over the world. 

Davenport relishes the fact that she was able to take tap dancing 

classes from a renowned New York City teacher, even though she 

lives in Washington State. “In a surprising silver lining, we’ve come 

to appreciate the convenience of these virtual experiences, which 

we likely wouldn’t have attended in person before the pandemic.”

Breast Cancer Caused 

by Factors Other than 

Heredity 

by Joyce Sobotta 

Eighty-five percent of all breast cancer is caused by factors other than heredity. The 

major causes of breast cancer are environmental toxins, bad eating habits and stress. 

Our bodies change as we get older, and we are exposed to more toxins today than 

ever before. Aggressive forms of breast cancer have been increasing. What was recommended 

in the last 30 to 40 years no longer works. When we learn and act with prevention 

measures, there can be a decrease in disease and breast cancer. 

Some tips for prevention include eating healthy diets and getting rid of bad habits 

that were popular in the teen years, such as smoking and eating junk food. Habits to 

incorporate into a wholesome lifestyle are cutting back on sugar and eating more green 

vegetables, organic proteins and healthy fats, along with lowering alcohol consumption. 

They also include drinking the correct amount of pure water and getting into a routine of 

stress-reduction techniques and healthy exercise. 

Toxins exist all around us, including exposure to electropollution caused by Wi-Fi 

and cell phones. Detoxing regularly with short-term fasting diets, enemas or professionally 

guided detox regimens is beneficial, helping the liver, kidneys and digestive system to function 

at their best. 

Xenoestrogen build-up and exposure to other toxins will deplete the body of natural 

hormonal balance. Getting specific tests, such as those that check bioavailable hormones as 

well as iodine and vitamin D levels, is a great place to start. Eliminate fluoride and bromide 

which can block the absorption of iodine, an important hormone for both the thyroid and 

the mammary glands. Based on test results, a diet and supplement plan can be designed 

for our needs. If you consider hormone replacement, choose bioidentical hormone therapy 

(BHT) which will not increase your risk of breast cancer. 

Chronic stress lowers immune function and leads to many diseases, including breast 

cancer. Practice meditation, yoga and stress-reducing exercises such as walking out in 

nature, dancing, swimming and other activities that stimulate the immune system. Learning 

how to deal with emotions through journaling, meditation and Emotional Freedom

High Times for the 

Cannabis Industry 

Emerging Trends with a COVID-19 Caveat 

by Jim Motavalli 

It’s fair to say that the cannabis industry has arrived. Recreational 

marijuana has now been approved in 17 states, and 

37 have allowed marijuana for medical purposes. “We have 

CBD!” proclaim store signs selling the buzz-free cannabidiol. In 

2020, more than 240,000 people worked in cannabis-related jobs. 

The Brightfield Group says the medical cannabis industry will 

reach $16 billion in annual U.S. sales by 2025. Cannabis market 

research firm Headset predicts this will be “a year of positive 

growth” for the industry. 


Legalization and expansion are strongly in line with public 

sentiment: Two-thirds of Americans believe marijuana should be 

legal, says the Pew Research Center. Opposition has fallen from 52 

percent in 2010 to just 32 percent by the end of 2019. 

“Dispensaries and cannabis cafés are as commonplace as 

Starbucks, and ordering edibles is as easy as getting pizza,” reports 

marketing firm Grassfed Media. The National Retail Federation 

noted a 700 percent increase in the demand for CBD-based products 

in 2019.

One caveat, however, is COVID-19. Ron Newman, a sustainable 

development analyst with Lee Enterprises Consulting, says 

the hemp/CBD business was flat during 2020 because of the 

pandemic. “With the economic situation, people were buying only 

essentials,” he says. “But we’re seeing the business start to come 

back now.” With COVID-19 recovery, more growth is certain, and 

here are some upcoming trends. 

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the active ingredient in marijuana 

that gets the user high. The natural compound CBD—said 

to have healing and pain/anxiety relief properties—is being 

heavily marketed in the form of oils, edibles (including gummy 

bears and lollipops), oral sprays, creams and pills. The third-most 

popular food-related Google search term in 2018 was “CBD gummies”. 

CBD dietary supplements are the biggest category, followed 

by topical applications and third, food and beverage additives. 

THC is still illegal in many parts of the U.S., but CBD cultivation 

and sales were legalized by the 2018 Farm Bill. California offers 

a model for the states in regulating cannabis. Both medicinal 

cannabis and adult recreational use are legal, but the industry is 

strictly regulated by the Department of Cannabis Control to ensure 

that businesses operate safely and that products are free from 

contamination, properly labeled and kept away from children. 

Research into cannabis is an emerging field, with 23,000 papers 

published since 2010, and Grassfed believes that some future 

products will be based on “other cannabinoids and terpenes such 

as CBN, CBG, THCA and THCV.” In addition, strains labeled 

indica, sativa or hybrid, or with names like Gorilla Glue and 

Wedding Crasher, may increasingly be replaced by a scientifically 

supported classification system. 

Bar & Restaurant magazine wants its bartenders to know there 

might be THC-free CBD cocktails on their future bar menus. It 

reports that these drinks are “a legal grey area; federally they’re 

illegal, but some states have their own CBD-related laws.” The 

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says flatly, “It is currently 

illegal to market CBD by adding it to a food or labeling it 

as a dietary supplement,” but the agency has said it is considering 

relaxing this prohibition. 

There’s a Wild West quality to the CBD/hemp industry today. 

An FDA study found many CBD products to be mislabeled, with 

either more or less CBD than indicated. A significant number 

contained THC. 

And then there are the laws, with federal prohibitions and 

state regulations, that can be quite different. For instance, New 

York bans CBD products with more than 0.3 percent THC, and 

bans CBD from any alcohol or tobacco product. So determining 

whether any specific product is “legal” or not in different locations 

is complex. But marketing benefits are plain. Wynk alcohol-free 

seltzer says it has “2.5 milligrams of THC and 2.5 milligrams 

of CBD in every can.” However, Wynk is not widely available. 

Casey Coughlin, Wynk brand manager, says, “We only sell Wynk 

through the dispensary channel, which is highly regulated on a 

state-by-state basis. So, although CBD and THC beverages are not 

federally legal, they are at the state level under regula4on.” Jody 

McGinness, executive director of the Hemp Industries Association, 

says the FDA doesn’t actually have strong enforcement powers, and 

that the worst thing CBD/THC legal violators can expect from the 

agency is a warning letter posted on the FDA website. 

Gregg Sturz, co-founder of Florida-based CBD Hemp Experts, 

a leading wholesale provider of cannabis-derived products, says 

he expects the FDA to eventually approve CBD for use in dietary 

supplements. “I don’t think they’re trying to shut the industry 

down, just come up with some clear guidelines,” he says. 

The legal status of THC is such a question mark that, according 

to Investopedia’s Marijuana Investing Guide, large banks “are currently 

afraid of money-laundering charges they may face if they 

work with these businesses … The American Bankers’ Association 

has been pushing for more legal clarity.” 

Newman, who studies the medicinal uses of CBD, notes that in 

some cases it’s being marketed as a topical analgesic for pain relief, 

when actually the other proven ingredients in analgesics—including 

methanol and camphor—are doing the heavy lifting. This 

situation has also produced FDA warning letters, because if CBD 

is claimed to relieve pain, then it is required to go through a new 

drug application process for efficacy. 

In 2018, the FDA approved Epidiolex, an oral solution with 

CBD as an active ingredient, used for the treatment of rare and 

severe forms of epilepsy. While it’s the only approved product so 

far, studies suggest CBD might be useful for anxiety, insomnia, 

skin protection and addiction. 

McGinness sees the major growth area for cannabis-related 

products not in CBD, but in industrial hemp fiber. As hemp growers 

gear up in the Midwest after decades of federal bans, they’re 

likely to expand beyond cottage clothing companies into such 

areas as auto and industrial parts and building materials, he says. 

“Hemp products made in a green way create fewer emissions,” 

McGinness says. “And the bioplastics made from hemp are 

lighter-weight, which increases fuel efficiency. I expect we’ll see 

heartland industrial hemp grow so much it will make CBD look 

like a niche.”

A Better 

Morning Jolt 

Healthy Coffee 

Alternatives and Hacks 

by April Thompson 

Most Americans enjoy a daily dose of coffee, and an increasing body of research 

indicates it’s not a bad habit to have. Meanwhile, a growing number of people are 

adapting their morning drink rituals to incorporate ingredients ranging from 

matcha to mushrooms in search of additional health benefits. 

“After many years of research, we have concluded that coffee can be a fantastic additive 

to the diet. Coffee consumption is associated with a decrease in all-cause mortality, risk 

of cardiovascular death and stroke,” says Claudia Hleap, a registered dietician nutritionist 

in Philadelphia. 

Regular coffee consumption is also correlated with a decreased risk of Type 2 diabetes, 

potentially due to its naturally containing polyphenols, which are plant compounds with 

protective antioxidant properties. The caffeine in coffee, as well as in tea and cocoa, can 

also boost short-term metabolism and brain function.

Rather than swap out 

coffee altogether, some 

java lovers are bettering 

their beloved beans with 

healthy add-ons such as 

powdered mushrooms, 

ghee and spices. 

As with most things in life, moderation 

is key; overconsumption of coffee can result 

in insomnia, irritability, gastrointestinal issues 

and other short-lived side effects. “Caffeine 

intake may negatively impact sleep 

duration and quality, which is essential for 

optimal health,” says Hleap. “Coffee can 

also serve as a vessel for added sugars and 

unhealthy fats in the diet if you are adding 

sweeteners and artificial creamers.” 

Many java drinkers today are experimenting 

with healthy alternatives and 

add-ons to shake up their routine morning 

pick-me-up. Chicory-based drinks, made 

from roasted ground chicory root, are a favorite 

for Lauren O’Connor, a Los Angeles 

registered dietitian nutritionist and author 

of Healthy Cooking for One. “Chicory is 

caffeine-free, acid-free and a gut-friendly 

alternative to coffee,” she says. “It also 

has a robust, roasted taste that can satisfy 

those who desire more than an herbal tea. 

Date ‘coffee’, made from date seed, also has 

a deep, rich flavor.” 

Some chicory tea blends also incorporate 

roasted dandelion root, which has 

been used by herbalists for centuries to 

enhance the body’s detoxifying functions, 

particularly of the liver. Golden milk, a 

traditional Indian beverage associated 

with Ayurvedic medicine, is another 

flavorful alternative with numerous health 

benefits. Recipes vary, but golden milk is 

typically prepared by heating milk or a 

plant-based milk alternative along with 

turmeric, black pepper, ginger, cinnamon, 

honey, vanilla and/or cardamom. “These 

warming spices go above a simple caffeine 

replacement to provide powerful antiinflammatory 

benefits,” says Trista Best, a 

registered dietitian in Dalton, Georgia. 

Best also recommends matcha, a 

traditional Japanese drink made from 

powdered, young, green tea leaves whisked 

in water as a coffee alternative with less 

freedom lifeAdobeStock.com

caffeine and other added benefits. Because 

the tea leaves are essentially consumed in 

powder form rather than just steeped in 

water, matcha contains more catechins, 

an important antioxidant, than a typical 

preparation of green tea. “The L-theanine, 

an amino acid, in matcha is known to 

improve brain health, which shows itself 

through improved memory, attention and 

reaction time,” notes Best. 

A Better Bean 

Rather than swap out coffee altogether, 

some java lovers are bettering their beloved 

beans with healthy add-ons such as 

powdered mushrooms, ghee and spices. “A 

healthy addition to coffee can include coconut 

oil, collagen or butter. These can add 

some fat and protein content, which will 

provide more energy while also jumpstarting 

your metabolism at the beginning of 

the day,” says holistic health coach Virginia 

Gruhler. Ghee, a clarified butter that originated 

in ancient India, has been touted as 

a “keto-friendly” way to help neutralize 

the acidity of coffee while adding healthy 

fats and nutrients. 

Spices like cinnamon and cardamom 

have been added to coffee and black tea for 

centuries in the Middle East and Asia to 

enhance both flavor and health. Cinnamon, 

for example, may help lower blood 

sugar, in addition to having antioxidant, 

anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial 

properties. 

Mushroom coffee is another popular 

“coffee-plus” beverage which combines 

the flavor and energy boost of java with 

the benefits of medicinal fungi like turkey 

tail, lion’s mane and chaga, boosting the 

immune system and potentially warding 

off serious health conditions like dementia 

and cancer. 

Because caffeine can stay in the bloodstream 

for up to 10 hours, staying clear 

of all caffeinated drinks in the later hours 

of the day will help ensure a better night’s 

sleep. When a mid-afternoon slump hits, a 

brisk walk followed by a cup of a flavorful 

herbal tea like Rooibos or lemongrass can 

wake up the body and the brain naturally.

A New Hope Adult 

Foster Care 

The Broeffle/Latimore Adult Foster Care, 

located in New Hope, offers a caring 

and supportive home for adults, no matter 

their abilities. With 30-plus years of experience, 

they provide a nurturing and familylike 

environment for up to four residents that are elderly and/or 

have developmental disabilities. 

What really makes this family adult foster care unique from 

others is the adult residents live in the Broeffle/Latimore family 

home with family members. Plus, with only a few residents, it makes 

it easier to ensure the health and safety of their residents, especially 

important in these trying times. 

Involvement in the community is encouraged and an individualized 

plan is tailored to suit each resident’s specific needs, helping 

them to remain as active as possible for as long as possible. Handson 

family members, with minimal outside staff brought in, provide 

consistency in care not available in corporate foster homes. Resident 

clients enjoy long-term placement, reaping the stability and confidence 

needed to feel safe and secure. 

Typically, residents are cared for through end of life, with many 

spending over a decade or more in “their” home. Broeffle/Latimore 

family members work closely with family members of residents 

along with other supportive services, including care coordinators, 

home care agencies for additional services such as physical and occupational 

therapy, and hospice providers when the time comes for 

more acute care. 

Assistance is provided with daily living activities, including 

all personal care, meal prep and feeding assistance (if necessary). 

The family staff administers and tracks all medications, assists with 

transferring, and provides transportation and advocacy at physician 

appointments. They care for their residents like one of their own. 

If a loved one is no longer able to live independently, consider 

the home-like environment of Broeffle/Latimore Adult Foster Care, 

where they will be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. 

Now accepting private-pay clients and those on the Elderly, Developmental 

Disability (DD) and Community Access for Disability

Cadence Chiropractic 

Dr. Amanda Haeg 

By definition, cadence is a rhythmic sequence. At Cadence Chiropractic, 

they have taken that idea one step further and applied it to 

the bones of the spine. Each area should move a certain amount during 

specific times. Dr. Amanda Haeg evaluates which parts of the spine need 

to have their motion restored. In doing so, the nervous system can operate 

at its highest capacity and keep us as healthy as we can be. 

Put simply, motion is life. 

Haeg is a practitioner of the Pierce Results System. It is based on the idea that the right 

adjustment, in the right place, at the right time, can be life-changing. There is objectivity, 

research and science behind this technique, and it does not involve any cracking or popping. 

Along with quality care, Haeg will educate and empower the patient, making sure that they 

have the information needed so they can make the correct decisions for them and their family. 

“We’ve seen numerous people come in suffering from back pain,” shares Haeg. “Typically, 

during the course of everyday life, something seems to occur that leaves you with a severe 

problem. You may have had it happen before over the years or it may be a first-time injury. 

When we start adjusting your neck, you may notice an immediate difference in your back.” 

This is because although she is not addressing the specific area the pain comes from, 

everything in the body is connected. By adjusting the neck first, the flow of healing can reach 

the back.

Composure Coaching 

Candi Broeffle, MBA, CPC 

Following a passion and seeking to do good in this world should be 

easier. Entrepreneurs often work 60 hours a week and miss out on 

what’s most important to them—time with family and friends. Worse 

yet, trying to understand the financial, marketing and human resources 

aspects of a business is confusing and can leave them feeling insecure. 

As an entrepreneur herself, Candi Broeffle understands how 

overwhelming running a business can be. For the past three decades she has purposefully 

sought out the knowledge and skills needed to be a successful entrepreneur. Now, 

she’s taken the best of what she’s learned and developed specialized coaching programs 

that will help entrepreneurs break through to a better business. 

Broeffle provides business and marketing coaching for purpose-driven entrepreneurs. 

As a certified professional coach in Core Energy Coaching, she provides individual 

and group coaching programs and Mastermind Groups to help her clients grow their 

business. Utilizing the principles of attraction marketing, she can help clarify a marketing 

message so more of the clients they love to work with are attracted to their business 

instead of having to chase after them. 

Highly skilled in the StrengthsFinder assessment, Broeffle has utilized this approach 

for nearly two decades with hundreds of businesses to gain better understanding of the 

individuals and coworkers. For those looking for highly effective teambuilding training 

and coaching, contact her directly to discuss their needs. 

Philosophy: “Composure is a state of tranquility and serenity, feeling secure and 

confident in all aspects of life. If you seek to make a difference, build your community, 

and feel more connected and purposeful, then you’re the entrepreneur I love to work 

with,” shares Broeffle. “Together, we will create the plan and build the skills you need to 

grow your business, so you can lead the life you deserve.”

MetroEast 

Natural Healing Center 

After years of successfully treating patients with 

chiropractic care, Dr. Martin Furlong noticed a 

decline in how long some of his patients would hold an 

adjustment and an increase in dysfunction, illness and 

disease among the general population. His research concluded 

that many of these issues were due to increased 

exposure to environmental toxins and poor diets which 

included processed foods, chemical additives, added 

antibiotics and hormones, and lack of real living food. 

He determined that Americans were toxic and nutritionally deprived and it was causing 

an extreme rise in obesity, illness and disease which resulted in daily pain, dysfunction 

and even early death. 

In 2009, after his search for natural health remedies that would help people start real 

healing, Furlong discovered Nutrition Response Testing. He spent the next several years 

becoming advanced clinically trained in its methodology. 

The success was immediate; using Nutrition Response Testing and chiropractic, he 

was finally getting the results he had known were possible. Patients began attaining lifechanging 

results to their health that endured. 

Their customized programs use a non-invasive, biofeedback analysis technique to 

identify the underlying causes and incorporate all the elements of their natural healthcare 

services together to increase the body’s ability to heal itself quicker and to obtain a 

more optimal level of health. These services may include: Nutrition Response Testing, 

whole foods nutrition supplements; chiropractic care, guided nutrition coaching, Allergy 

Elimination Technique, Heart Rate Variability Analysis, Heart Sound Recorder and Bio- 

Impedance Analysis. 

For those struggling with post-COVID-19 Syndrome, the MetroEast team has 

been successful in using these same techniques to identify the underlying causes to your 

lingering symptoms and what is still challenging the immune system. Their customized 

programs help in identifying and safely removing toxins and replacing the vital missing 

nutrients our bodies indicate are needed to fully recover and restore optimum health.

Nea Clare 

Transformational 

Life Coach and 

Spiritual Teacher 

“ help you connect to 

I the YOU that you 

have always been, to 

become the YOU, you 

long to be.” Nea Clare 

For those who long for something or 

someone to help them break through their 

doubt and shine, Nea Clare is here to serve. 

Clare works with bright, successful women 

who have spent their careers uplifting others, 

but struggle when it comes time for 

themselves. Her clients gain understanding 

into what is keeping them from going after 

their dreams. They explore how transformational 

life coaching can take them from 

feeling stuck and move them towards living 

a more fulfilling life, by becoming more 

confident in themselves and their ability to 

create the life they really want. 

Clare began her own journey of transformation 

in 2012, after the birth of her son. 

She enrolled in a coaching certification and 

reiki courses within that same month. It was 

through her reiki work that she discovered 

her intuitive gifts, and her ability to channel 

messages from the Ascended Masters. Over 

the past decade, Clare has developed an unshakable 

trust in her own inner wisdom and 

capacity to create a life she truly loves. 

Clare created her coaching program, 

Reset to Yes, which is designed to guide 

us back to ourselves, to our own desires, 

wisdom and capabilities. When we begin 

paying attention to our YES, it gets louder, 

it changes from a flicker to a roaring flame 

and we are given the support to channel 

our passion into creating our dream. 

“When you are living your YES, you 

will experience a greater sense of purpose 

in all areas of your life,” explains Clare. “Unshakable 

faith in yourself—making decisions 

and choices much easier—and trusting your 

ability to choose what gets your time, energy 

and attention each and every day.” 

Coaching with Clare can be done oneon-one 

or as part of one of her coaching 

groups. Book a free Strategy Session with

Nature’s Virus Killer 

Copper can stop a cold 

before it starts 

Scientists have discovered a 

natural way to kill germs fast. 

Now thousands of people 

are using it against viruses and bacteria 

in the nose and on 

the skin. 

Colds start 

when cold viruses 

get in your nose. 

Viruses multiply 

fast. If you don’t 

stop them early, 

they spread and 

cause misery. 

In hundreds 

of studies, EPA and 

university researchers have confirmed 

that viruses and bacteria die almost 

instantly when touched by copper. 

That’s why ancient Greeks and 

Egyptians used copper to purify water 

and heal wounds. They didn’t know 

about microbes, but now we do. 

Scientists say the high conductance 

of copper disrupts the electrical balance 

in a microbe cell and destroys the cell in 

seconds. 

Tests by the EPA (Environmental 

Protection Agency) show germs die 

fast on copper. So some hospitals tried 

copper for touch surfaces like faucets 

and doorknobs. This cut the spread of 

MRSA and other illnesses by over half, 

and saved lives. 

The strong scientific evidence gave 

inventor Doug Cornell an idea. When 

he felt a cold about to start he fashioned 

a smooth copper probe and rubbed it 

gently in his nose for 60 seconds. 

“It worked!” he exclaimed. “The 

By Doug Cornell 

New device puts copper right 

where you need it. 

cold never got going. That was 

September 2012. I use copper in the 

nose every time and I have not had a 

single cold since then.” 

“We can’t 

make product 

health claims,” he 

said, “so I can’t 

say cause and 

effect. But we 

know copper is 

antimicrobial.” 

He asked 

relatives and 

friends to try it. 

They reported 

the same thing, so he patented 

CopperZap® and put it on the 

market. 

Soon hundreds of people had 

tried it. The feedback was 99% 

positive if they used the copper 

within 3 hours after the first sign 

of unwanted germs, like a tickle 

in the nose or a scratchy throat. 

Early user Mary Pickrell 

said, “I can’t believe how good 

my nose feels.” 

“What a wonderful thing!” 

exclaimed Physician’s Assistant Julie. 

Another customer asked, “Is it supposed 

to work that fast?” 

Pat McAllister, 70, received one for 

Christmas and called it “one of the best 

presents ever. This little jewel really 

works.” 

Frequent flier Karen Gauci had been 

suffering after crowded flights. Though 

skeptical, she tried copper on travel 

days for 2 months. “Sixteen flights and 

ADVERTORIAL 

not a sniffle!” she exclaimed. 

Businesswoman Rosaleen says when 

people around her show signs of cold or 

flu, she uses copper morning and night. 

“It saved me last holidays,” she said. 

“The kids had crud going round and 

round, but not me.” 

Attorney Donna Blight tried copper 

for her sinus. “I am shocked!” she said. 

“My head cleared, no more headache, 

no more congestion.” 

A man with trouble breathing 

through his nose at night tried copper 

just before bed. “Best sleep I’ve had in 

years!” he said. 

In a lab test, technicians placed 25 

million live flu viruses on a CopperZap. 

No viruses were found surviving soon 

after. 

Dr. Bill Keevil led one of the teams 

confirming the research. He placed 

millions of disease germs on copper. 

“They started to die literally as soon as 

they touched the surface,” he said. 

Some people press copper on a lip 

right away if a warning tingle suggests 

unwanted germs gathering there. 

The handle is curved 

and textured to increase 

contact. Copper can 

kill germs picked up on 

fingers and hands after 

you touch things other 

people have touched. 

The EPA says copper 

still works even when 

tarnished. 

CopperZap is made 

in the U.S. of pure 

copper. It has a 90-day full money back 

guarantee. It is available for $79.95. Get
