Did You Know?
Slow Cognitive Decline: People who ate the most foods containing antioxidants and anti-inflammatory flavanols experienced 32% slower age-related cognitive decline than those who ate the least. Foods high in flavanols are dark leafy greens, such as spinach and kale, onions, tomatoes, pears, and apples. These foods provide a greater diversity of nutrients than flavanol supplements. (Thomas Holland, MD, Professor of Medicine at Rush University, Chicago.)
Can’t Follow Along? Sing a Song: Straining to figure out what people are saying is exhausting. Luckily, just singing along to the radio or elsewhere will help. In a 10-week study from Canada’s Ryerson University, those who sang two hours per week - just 17 minutes per day - found it 20% easier to understand people in conversation. Singing trains the brain to identify specific notes, sharpening the ability to hear speech sounds. This will also help stay alert and concentrate during Zoom calls.
Handwriting Yields Best Learning and Memory: Handwriting—not typing—while taking a writing-intensive exam makes the brain more active. Researchers say that pressing a pen to paper activates the senses, creates contact between different parts of the brain, and opens the brain to better learning and memory. This study applies to both children and adults. (Study at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology)
People Begin to Feel Thirsty When They’re About 2% Dehydrated: Research has shown that dehydration can affect your physical and mental performance at levels as low as 1%—before you feel thirsty. Therefore, keep drinking (healthy drinks) throughout the day, even if you’re not thirsty. Your body will thank you.

Testimonials
"I am not a health care professional, yet I decided to take MIOH’s NLP course as I felt it would help improve my effectiveness in my profession. I work in sales and have discovered that NLP is not just for therapeutic professionals. NLP can also enhance your ability to communicate your message effectively and elicit the responses you intend from anyone, whether they are a patient seeking therapy, a client seeking trust and direction, or a sales account seeking a vendor. I highly recommend this course to those looking to improve their communication skills and increase productivity in any workplace environment. Thank you, MIOH, and all the fantastic instructors". ~ Gino A.

Dear Friends,
I couldn't resist...

10% what happens to you…90% is what you do with it.
This is the story of what happens in all of our lives…Keep taking one step at a time, and keep believing.
There are lots of ways to achieve your goals; it doesn’t always have to be a straight path to get there. Be grateful for whatever challenges you experience, for they are means by which you can grow in strength and wisdom.

Complimentary Consultations: Marketing and AI
Andrew Utley, who many of you know as a trainer from our NLP and Hypnosis trainings and admin assistant for 10+ years, is now offering marketing and AI audits specifically for wellness practitioners.
The marketing audit identifies opportunities to strengthen your online presence and client acquisition, while the AI audit explores practical ways to streamline your practice, from automating scheduling and follow-ups to generating personalized intake forms or session notes. These tools aren't about replacing your personal touch; they're about freeing up time so you can focus on what matters most: your clients' transformation.
If you're curious how small improvements could make a big impact in your practice, schedule a complimentary consultation below.
