Dear Friends,
 
I hope this email finds you in good health and spirits.  We will be continuing with our contracted hours this week of MWF mornings 8-12 and Thursday afternoon 2-6.  
 
Some tips for strengthening your immune system:

  1. Sleep- less than 5 hours of sleep in one night can lower your immune fighting cells by well over 50%. So getting 8 hours of sleep is optimal in times of stress.
  2. Eat the rainbow-and I don’t mean skittles! I mean eat bright vegetables and fruits because the micronutrients embedded in whole foods are vital to a robust immune system.
  3. Reduce, eliminate, or drastically reduce consumption of refined foods containing sugar and refined flour.
  4. Eat good fats – olive oil, fish oil, avocado oil etc…
  5. Remember the words of Bobby McFerrin “Don’t worry, be happy!” Your state of mind effects your hormones and the health of your immune system more than you could ever know.
  6. Exercise- isolate yourself in nature and go for a walk. The beauty of spring is beginning to abound so get out for a bike, a walk, or a run.  The overall health benefits of exercise are immeasurable.
  7. Get some sun. 20 minutes on your arms will give you the incredible immune fights benefits of Vitamin D.  Ever notice there is typically far less sickness in the summer?
  8. Keep a healthy GUT.  60% of your immune system surrounds your GUT.

 
Here is a link to an episode of the Doctor’s Farmacy– Dr. Mark Hyman is the former head of functional medicine at the renowned Cleveland Clinic.  He is interviewing another medical doctor who specializes in gut health.  His podcast and YouTube videos are very enlightening and this one is particular gives you great insight on why gut health is so important to your immune system.
 
The number one nutritional protocol we work on is restoring normal gut health (reflux, bloating, just about any chronic inflammation condition from eczema to arthritis). We will be holding some seminars on gut health when life returns to a more normal level.  Until then, we will be emailing great information to broaden your understanding.
 
If you would like to discuss your nutritional situation with me, call me at 920-946-2964
 
Everyone is going through some hardships right now in their lives. Literally EVERYONE!  I challenge you to a paradigm shift where you switch the idea of hardship with OPPORTUNITY. I have an opportunity to spend more time with my children. I have the chance to slow down. I am not stuck at home, I am safe at home.  
 
Are you going to take this hardship and let it ruin you, or are you going to take this OPPORTUNITY to make your life better on the backside of this event? Please choose opportunity!
 
God Bless,
Dr. Dan and Dr. Jean

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
