A
LETTER FROM THE TE
Will you help create a
wellness-minded community?
Locally grown: Its not just a great way to enjoy your food, its also a fantastic way to help
your local economy thrive! When you support businesses owned and operated in your
community, you and other area consumers reap the benefits. (We must admit, though,
that were a bit biased: Natures Pathways is a local small business, after all!)
Here are just a few of the great advantages gained from nurturing locally owned
businesses:
A BOOST TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY. Small, local businesses play an
important role in job creation. The staffs of these businesses then have the opportunity to buy from other area companies, maybe even the place where you work.
In fact, when you spend $100 at a locally owned business, 68 of those dollars
stay local, compared to the $43 that stay local when $100 is spent at nonlocally
owned businesses. Those dollars support local police and fire departments, area
manufacturers and service providers, and more!
INSIDE KNOWLEDGE ON WHERE AND HOW YOUR GOODS AND
SERVICES ARE MADE. Locally owned businesses are able to create close rela-
tionships with their customers and provide detailed information about their
products and materials.
DEDICATED NONPROFIT SUPPORT. If youre not fiscally able to donate as
much as you would like, shopping at local businesses can help you support nonprofits
in your community. Small businesses actually provide 250 percent more support than
large businesses to nonprofit organizations, according to Sustainable Connections
(sustainableconnections.org), a nonprofit proponent of local businesses and their
contribution to a healthy environment and the well-being of all citizens.
A SENSE OF HOMETOWN PRIDE. Local business owners and their staffs
arent just people who provide you your goods and services theyre your neighbors. And when you support them, you support your community. As a local business consumer, you know that youre part of something bigger than yourself
something that can be as great as you and others wish it to be.
Youll find many local health and wellness businesses in the pages of this publication. Our authors and advertisers are experts in their fields and committed to doing
whats best for their customers and community: you, your family and your friends.
We encourage you to peruse the pages of Natures Pathways. Were certain youll
find exactly what you need and youll get to foster a healthy local economy at the
same time.

Low
testosterone
Symptoms of deficiency,
benefits of treatment
...........................................................
By Kari Jossart, APNP
ave you ever wondered what the big deal is with the
recent media and advertising campaigns talking about
men experiencing low T? Low T, or more specifically
low testosterone, affects millions of men worldwide. Recent estimates indicate approximately 13 million men are affected by this
disorder. If left untreated, low testosterone has been associated
with an increased risk of diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome,
osteoporosis, cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.
Testosterone levels naturally decline in adult men beginning at
age 30 and continue through their adult lives. As the most important male sex hormone, testosterone is responsible for the production of an adult males features, including musculature, chest hair
and sex drive. Though many believe the main symptom of having
low testosterone is decreased libido, or sex drive, that is only one
of many possible symptoms associated with a man having low
testosterone. Men with low testosterone may also experience
some or all of the following symptoms:
Lack of energy
Decreased strength or endurance
Decreased enjoyment of life
Depression or irritability
A change in erections
Increased fatigue
Deterioration in work performance
Loss of height
Muscle weakness or body aches
Though these are the most commonly reported symptoms, additional physical, sexual and emotional implications have been
noted.

Benefits
of laser
therapy
........................................
By Karen M. Strickfaden, DVM
Laser therapy is an exciting veterinary treatment available for many conditions that plague our furry friends. Laser
therapy increases circulation, heals tissue
and reduces pain and swelling. This
therapy is noninvasive and causes no pain
to the patient.
Laser therapy is effective for both acute
and chronic conditions, including:
Proms
Concerts
Bachelor/bachelorette parties
Sporting events
Weddings
Dinner and a show
Corporate airport shuttle
Just a night of fun!

POST-OPERATIVE RECOVERY.
Laser therapy stimulates the development of new capillaries that help speed
up the healing process. This, in combination with the reduction of scar tissue,
makes therapy laser particularly valuable
in helping patients recover from surgery.
ARTHRITIS, HIP DYSPLASIA
AND DISC DISEASE. A therapy
laser helps reduce swelling because
it triggers drainage of the lymphatic
system. It also improves nerve function
and blocks pain by increasing nerve
cell connection and decreasing nerve
sensitivity.
TENDON, LIGAMENT AND SOFTTISSUE INJURIES. Laser light
stimulates cell growth and reproduction, speeding the repair of muscles,
tendons and ligaments.
INFECTIONS. Laser therapy increases
oxygen and nutrients to damaged cells
and carries waste products away from the
cells. Infections are healed more rapidly
as a result of laser treatments, according
to the Laser Surgery for Pets website.
www.naturespathways.com
Therapy lasers stimulate the natural function of turning oxygen into cellular energy,
according to K-Laser, a company that
develops such products. The laser generates local circulation, which increases
blood flow. As more blood flows, the
blood carries more oxygen to the cells.
In addition, the blood carries lactic acid
and carbon dioxide away from the cells.
Providing energy to the cells allows
quicker healing for the affected area.
Increased circulation can also foster new
blood vessel growth with reduced swelling. Lasers can also be used on acupuncture points without using needles.
Treatments
For acute conditions, the laser will actually promote healing in the patient. For
chronic conditions that have no cure, like
hip dysplasia, laser therapy will provide
comfort and increased mobility in the
patient by reducing pain and inflammation.
During laser therapy, a technician passes
a beam of infrared light over a pets skin in
the affected area. No anesthesia is required.
The pet feels some warmth, but no discomfort or pain. The treatments usually range in
duration from 5 to 20 minutes.
Treatments are cumulative in nature.
For best results, at least six treatments are
recommended.

This has been the mission of Dr. Bill Andrews. In 2011, he was
the subject of a Popular Science magazine article, The Man Who
Would Stop Time. He has spent more than 30 years in molecular
biology and is a competitive ultra-marathon runner at age 62. His
research discovered the gene that effectively protects the telomeres.
The challenge was how to create a safe compound for consumption that would activate the protective enzyme in human cells. So
Andrews began to collaborate with renowned natural products
formulator John W. Anderson, who has developed more than 2,300
products in his 30 years in nutrition research. Together, they target
preventative supplements that support telomere health.
I can personally attest to how nutritional changes affect aging.
One year ago, I felt considerably older than my chronological
age, primarily due to inadequate nutrition, toxins and stress. I
could see signs of aging in my skin and joints well beyond what I
expected in my mid-40s. I knew I needed to make changes. Today,
I am 30 pounds lighter and have been asked if I had a facelift. The
inflammation issues are gone and I have more energy now than I
did 15 years ago. The fuel used to operate the body makes a huge
difference, but the food industry in the U.S. continues to promote
toxic and unhealthy options in the name of convenience. Even
kids are starting their aging process much too young by becoming
obese and putting stress on their organs and joints.
After watching people at a baseball game recently, I am more
convinced than ever that most people dont know they have the
choice to live differently. Author Paul Zane Pilzer predicted a need
for a wellness revolution over 10 years ago, but we continue down

higher risk of injury in the weaker opposing muscle group, which is being pulled
out of alignment. Keeping this in mind,
a great way to look into a new activity is
to look at what we already do and try to
complement it, or fill in the gaps. If you
develop a well-rounded regimen before
any injuries start to develop, you can save
yourself from a lot of pain in the future.
In a perfect world, we would all have
ample time to fit all the activites we can
think of into our schedule. Unfortunately,
for most of us this is not the case. You may
not like the idea of cutting back on your
preferred activity to make room for something else (or just devoting more hours per
week to fitness), but try to keep the benefits in mind as well as the opportunites. In
many cases, your new activity may complement your old one and actually make you
better at it in ways you didnt expect. As the
saying goes; Variety is the spice of life.

Your money
and doing
the right
thing
............................................................
By Alan M. Zierler
an money buy happiness? Thats a much-debated question with answers that vary from one person to the next. I
would suggest that money itself doesnt make one happy;
rather, its the freedom and choices that having adequate amounts
of money can offer.
Doing the right thing with your money can mean something
different to almost everyone. It depends on your personal philosophy, your priorities and your lifestyle. One thing is certain: The
more purposeful you are in managing your money, the better the
chances youll reach your goals and achieve financial balance.
Putting your personal finance philosophy into action comes
down to following key financial principles as shared by money
experts like Dave Ramsey: save, spend and share. Additional tips
include setting goals, never spending more than you make and,
when shopping, always ask yourself, Is this a need or a want?
Save
If you hope to eke out a few dollars after youve paid all of your
bills, youre likely to be disappointed. A more effective way to
save is to pay yourself first. Deposit a set amount into a savings
account every time you get paid (10 percent or more is recommended). Consider setting up direct deposit or automatic transfer
at your credit union or bank to make it easier.
Saving regularly is the foundation for building wealth and
financial security. Focused saving may mean sacrifices in other
areas, such as passing up the premium cable package so you can
put money into your emergency fund. But the upside is the next
time the car breaks down, you could pay cash for repairs instead
of charging it and paying interest.

Healthy in spirit:
When someone
new
moves in
..................................................................................
By Rev. April Kain-Breese
A community for
spiritual growth
If you like Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer and Eckhart Tolle, youll love Unity!
Join us for Sunday services, youth ministry, study groups and more.
www.naturespathways.com
Take care of yourself, especially in terms of the basics of nutrition, rest and exercise.
Decide what your absolute non-negotiables are. For example,
the dog may not relieve himself in the house; I put up an exercise enclosure to keep him contained between trips outside. Or,
your roommate is not to eat your food or wear your clothes.
Allow other aspects of your new relationship to unfold as
you collaborate to create it. Everybody needs to give a bit.
For example, I dont really want to get up at 5 a.m., but I can
manage that if I have to let the dog out.
Allow plenty of moments to appreciate the positive aspects
of your new arrangement: new friendship, mutual support or
other benefits. In my case, I have a little bundle of fur to love,
an ongoing floorshow of adorable antics, a reason to take that
early morning walk and lots of material for Sunday morning
sermons! Oh, and a new photography subject!
Whomever or whatever you next welcome into your home, I wish
you many happy moments. Even in challenging circumstances,
there can be much to appreciate and enjoy, as long as you are
willing to do your part.
Rev. April Kain-Breese is with Unity of Appleton, a community
for spiritual growth, which focuses on spiritual well-being through
affirmative prayer, positive thinking and daily application of five
basic principles. Sunday services and youth ministry occur at 10
a.m. Newcomers are welcome. Try us out! For more information,
including Sunday talks, newsletters and upcoming events, visit http://unityofappleton.org or call 920-739-4823.

it
comes to food
cravings, this
poses a challenge. Is your body asking for something
it needs or is it remembering something
its addicted to? Should you ignore your
cravings or indulge them? The answer isnt

Plan ahead
At least a week before the start of school, get back into bedtimes
and alarm wake-ups (unless you are the alarm for your child(ren)).
www.naturespathways.com
We are going to be late again today; can you see that this is stressful for me?
Ok, prepare to get out of the car not yet, the car is still in
motion!
Have a great day! I love you! See you after school.
Whew!
Ok, so even those of us who have well-thought-out and structured plans in place can have mornings like I just described, and
yes, this is very often my morning with my son.
The good news is that we have a lot of chances during the
school year to have more wins than losses if we are lucky! Here
is to a great start to the new school year!
With love, Meridith

Shed your
skin issues
Rejuvenessence mediSpa helps
you put your best face forward
BY REBECCA BENTZ
Just about every person has an aspect of their appearance they sometimes
dont like. This is normal, and R-mediSpa provides high-quality services and
products to help. Where R-mediSpa truly sets itself apart, though, is in its
commitment to helping individuals feel confident in the skin theyre in.
Its not about looks, explains Heather Allmann, R-mediSpa business
manager and board-certified licensed esthetician. We strive to
help people with their overall self-confidence and self-image
in what were doing to help them address their concerns.
For some men and women, this can be life-changing.
Shame or anxiety related to their skin issues may have
prevented them from living life to the fullest. When embarking on the journey to regain confidence and control, they
need someone they can trust someone who makes
sure they have the information they need, but doesnt
overwhelm them.
This is precisely where R-mediSpa shines. Led by
founder Dr. Kenneth J. Pechman, M.D., Ph.D., the staff
of R-mediSpa takes the time to truly get to know each
patient and client they see.
We really develop relationships and I feel like in
this culture, thats really a way of the past and thats

You wont find high pressure sales tactics at R-mediSpa.
We dont sell [clients] things they dont need and we

them just because we have a special going on. We dont have
a quota and dont work on commission, Allmann explains.
Our staff here is very no-pressure. We want people to know:
Heres how we can help you address your concerns, here are
some options for you, and youre in the drivers seat you
decide how to move forward.
This can give people plagued by seemingly unmanageable skin issues a welcomed sense of control. But for those
who simply arent sure what treatments or services they
should try, Dr. Pechman and the rest of the R-mediSpa staff
are more than willing to offer explanations of services and
the route they would choose, if they were in a clients shoes.

People are blown away when they have this treatment, Allman says. Plus
theyre pleasantly surprised by how relaxed and rejuvenated they feel at the
end of their treatment.

treatment options you are comfortable with. If youre ready to enjoy healthy,

Keeping your
balance
How hearing loss
increases risk of falling
..................................................................
By Stephanie Long, Audiologist
Talking to your
physician and pharmacist to check the
ototoxicity of medications to determine
if this may be contributing to any balance
concerns is important
as well. Ototoxicity is, in simple terms, ear
poisoning (oto means ear, toxicity means
poisoning) that occurs as the result of
exposure to drugs or chemicals that cause
damage to the nerves of the inner ear.
Those nerves are responsible for sending
both balance and hearing information to
the brain for processing.
In addition to environmental chemicals, many common over-the-counter
medications as well as several prescribed

deeper into the subject, research undeniably shows a significant correlation. One
reason is thought to be that the people who
cannot hear well have less overall awareness
of their environment. Additionally, it is
widely accepted that any degree of hearing
loss requires more effort for listening than
for those without hearing loss. This load
overwhelms the brain with demands on
its resources. While straining to hear and
process the auditory input around them
conversations, sounds of the street,
sounds of nature those with even slightly
impaired hearing will be more likely to miss
a step and fall because their attention was
on the sounds around them, rather than
on gait and balance. In contrast, those with
normal hearing can listen passively without
effort and do not have this added challenge.
Although everyone is likely to experience changes in their hearing as they age,
those with the greatest risk are individuals
who have worked in noisy settings, such as
paper mills, factories, farms or in the military. Also, individuals with diabetes are at
great risk for hearing loss as are those who
have any cardiovascular disease. If any

Understanding
lymphoma and its
potential
causes
........................................................................................
he human bodys immune system is integral to its shortand long-term health, helping guard the body from a host
of threats, including germs and viruses. But the immune
system can be compromised, and when this happens, the results
can be severe.
Lymphoma is one of the more troubling issues that can compromise a persons immune system. A cancer of the lymph system,
which is a part of the immune system, lymphoma comes in many
forms, and recognizing which type of lymphoma a person has can
help a doctor tailor a treat-ment plan and provide a more accurate prognosis to his or her patients. But men and women also can
benefit from understanding lymphoma, as it can help them more
effectively manage their disease or better understand what a loved
one diagnosed with lymphoma is going through.
There are many types of lymphoma, and these types fall into one
of two categories: Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
Hodgkin disease: Hodgkin disease begins in white blood cells
known as lymphocytes, and because lymphoid tissue is present in
many parts of the body, Hodgkin disease can start nearly anywhere
on the body. However, Hodgkin disease most often starts in the
lymph nodes of the upper part of the body, such as the chest, neck
or under the arms. Hodgkin disease will spread gradually, most
often from lymph node to lymph node. But because there are
different types of Hodgkin disease, the disease can grow and spread
differently depending on the type a person has.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma also
begins in the lymphocytes and can begin almost anywhere in the
body. There are many types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but they
were often grouped as slow- or fast-growing lymphomas. The
former grows so slowly that it produces few symptoms, while the
latter spreads so quickly it can cause severe symptoms and may be
referred to as an aggressive lymphoma.
who have had mononucleosis, an infection caused by the EpsteinBarr virus, or EBV, have an increased, albeit small, risk of Hodgkin
disease. DNA from EBV is found in roughly half of Hodgkin
patients Reed-Sternberg cells, which are a type of cell found in
people with Hodgkin lymphoma. But many people infected with
EBV never develop Hodgkin disease.
Age is another risk factor for Hodgkin disease, as the disease is
most common among people between the ages of 15 and 40, especially men and women in their 20s. But many men and women are
diagnosed with Hodgkin disease in late adulthood as well. Age also
is a risk factor for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, though the majority of
cases are diagnosed in people in their 60s or older.
Family history also plays a role, as brothers and sisters of young
people with Hodgkin disease have an elevated risk, one that is especially high for the identical twin of a person with Hodgkin disease.
But the American Cancer Society still notes that a family link is still
seen in only about 5 percent of all cases of Hodgkin disease.
Some studies have suggested that exposure to certain chemicals,
most notably benzene, and certain herbicides and insecticides used
to kill weeds and insects, may be linked to an elevated risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, such research is ongoing.
Patients treated with radiation therapy for other cancers may also
be at an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and
this risk is even greater for those treated with both radiation and
chemotherapy.
Immune system deficiencies and autoimmune diseases have also
been linked to a greater risk for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. People
who have received organ transplants are often treated with immune
system suppressants to ensure the immune system does not attack
the new organ, and such suppressants put people at a higher risk of
developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Children born with immune
system deficiencies also have an elevated risk of developing nonHodgkin lymphoma, as do people with autoimmune diseases such
as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and celiac sprue.
Lymphoma is a potentially deadly disease, but one that is often
treatable. More information about lymphoma and lymphoma treatment is available at www.cancer.org/cancer/lymphoma.

Obesity:
The triple
threat
.................................................
By Dulcie Bosi-Schmidt
f obesity, the leading cause of preventable disease (osteoarthritis, diabetes and digestive disorders) and the leading cause
of death (heart disease, heart attack and stroke) isnt enough
to knock you off your seat, maybe this will: Obesity is now also
the leading cause of cancer, a title previously held by smoking,
according to the Associated Press. Imagine the potential for an
overweight smoker, but well save that discussion for another day.
In America, obesity and being overweight account for up to 14
percent of cancer deaths in men and 20 percent of cancer deaths
in women, according to the National Cancer Institute. Some 20
to 30 percent of common cancers such as colon, postmenopausal
breast, uterine and esophageal may be related to being overweight
and to a lack of physical activity, according to the institute, as
reported by the New York Daily News in September 2009.
If we continue to take this issue lying or sitting down, we will
continue to see the numbers grow. That is to say, if the scales dont
begin to tip in our favor, neither will our health as a nation or our
insurance rates.
How did we get here in just a few generations? Its no secret
that day-to-day life no longer resembles that of our grandparents and great-grandparents. An average adult in the early 1900s
burned roughly 500 more calories in a single day than an average
American adult does today. This was accomplished through
daily tasks such as gardening, tending to livestock and walking
to the grocer. Additionally, adults from preceding generations
consumed roughly 300 calories less in a day from whole foods
than the average American adult does today from a combination
of whole and processed foods. Our ancestors consumed more of
their calories from fat by way of high-fat proteins and whole dairy
products, often leading to cholesterol issues, as opposed to weight
issues. Again, this is a topic for another day.
An excess of a mere 100 calories per day equates to a 10-poundper-year weight gain, and 800 calories an 80-pound weight gain
annually. This is consistent with the trend weve seen in America.

Its important to note that drinking whey protein shakes will not
produce a quick fix. Its not something youll feel overnight. If
you are consistent with the intake of whey protein shakes and a
complementary diet, though, you will notice a quicker recovery
time after an intense workout. After a workout, you are sore the
next day and need to feed those muscles. Drinking whey protein
shakes on a regular basis will help your muscles get the protein
they need to recover, and this is definitely something you will feel
over time. Whey protein powder used in shakes or other liquids
is something that should definitely be a staple for anyone with a
program that involves lifting weights.
To keep things on the leaner side, many people use whey protein
powder mixed in a glass of cold water. It mixes or shakes up in a
cup very easily. Some people mix a whey protein shake with milk,

Hydroponic grow systems of

The area you select for the grow space will dictate what size system
fits your needs. The size of the grow space can vary from a 5-gallon
pail container to a wash tub to a larger area.
The size of the grow area container limits the amount of plants
it can hold. You must consider root area space, including vertical
space. Does the plant you are considering have deep or shallow
roots? Salad greens are shallow rooted, while tomatoes and
peppers are deep rooted. In hydroponic gardening, plants can be
grown very close together because the system delivers nutrients

Treating tension
and migraine
headaches with
acupressure
By Courtney Cowie, MA, LMBT
also can result from muscular tension associated with stress, but
commonly result from hormonal fluctuations in women, excessive dilation or constriction of blood vessels in the brain, or from
unknown factors.
Chinese medicine treats migraine headaches as an energy
imbalance problem related to excess heat in one or more of the
meridians of the body. Holding influential acupressure point
combinations for one to two minutes can help balance energy
and open up energy blockages, which are usually associated with
the stabbing pain commonly felt with migraine headaches. While
some migraine headaches occur on a predictable basis, such as
those associated with a womans menstrual cycle, others do not.
While many migraine sufferers turn to over-the-counter painrelief medication once a migraine sets in, in reality this medication may not be effective in reducing the pain. Few people know
that a 20- to 30-minute therapeutic bodywork session that works
specifically with medical massage techniques and acupressure
points indicated for reducing the pain associated with migraine
headaches can be an effective, natural option for providing relief
and helping get an individual back to a functioning state. Whenever possible, I teach my clients how to work one or two acupressure points indicated for their specific type of headache in order
to arm them with self-care tools they can use at home to mitigate
pain between sessions and to support the treatment process.
Courtney Cowie, MA, LMBT, is the owner of Ki to Health Therapeutic Bodywork, located in downtown Neenah. Her practice is
rooted in traditional Chinese medical massage (tui na) techniques
integrated with acupressure. To learn more about the conditions
Courtney treats as well as her techniques and background, visit

about working with the elderly and others who want to make foot
care part of a healthier lifestyle!
My mother readily accepted Suzies evaluation and education,
and I was grateful. The genuine charm that Suzie exuded resulted
in some real changes in my mothers care for her feet. I had not
seen a response like this before.
After a foot problem arrived on my own doorstep, I began
receiving services from Suzie as well. I even referred my grandson, whose ingrown toe nails were giving him grief on and off the
football field.
I continued to share my satisfaction with my own foot care
in Suzies capable hands, resulting in more family members and
friends seeking her heavenly services! They too had wonderful
experiences.
It is my opinion that word of mouth from a trusted source is
the best way to learn about many things in life. I extend to you an
invitation to call Heavenly Foot Care, LLC, as you too may benefit
from Suzies amazing services.
I never really resolved the problem with mother and solicitors.
Instead, I accepted the idea that the hospitable persona she had
ought never be changed.
