I don’t think one can go an entire day without hearing or seeing advertisements about clearing up acne. While these ads are typically aimed at teenagers, whose hormones are still establishing themselves, acne is for many, a lifetime issue.

What’s the culprit? If there were one catch all reason, we would have found a cure. While the technical cause is a bacterial infection in the pore, the bigger question is how did this occur?

There are many who claim that diet is the culprit. Some claim that when they started to eat a healthy diet, free from refined sugars and fried foods, their acne cleared up. There are, however, just as many who claim that their acne did not improve. Alternately, there are many who do not get acne and whose diets are definitely lacking in nutrition.

This is where one’s complete lifestyle comes into play. What is usually going on when someone alters his or her diet towards a healthy approach? Not many would say they just craved better foods. Most do this because a physical condition has forced them to try to get healthy.

This includes people who are overweight, who have high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. This is definitely evident in feedback from people who’ve tried my Weight Loss Breeze program. They started the program to lose weight but there were several who noticed their problem acne cleared up as they lost weight.

When we exercise, blood travels more efficiently to the different parts of our body, delivering oxygen, vital to maintaining healthy organs and tissues. When the organs like the liver and kidneys and lymphatic system are healthy, they are better able to free the body of toxins from food, medications and other environmental toxins.

Additionally, when we exercise, perspiration leaves the pores and with it, dirt, toxin buildup and excess sebum – all things which provide a nice breeding ground for acne.

Additionally, stress is released when we exercise. Stress is a known trigger for acne.

We also start drinking the required amount of water each day (eight glasses plus a glass for each pound you lose when you exercise). Most people are dehydrated. You can test this by pressing a tongue depressor on your tongue. If it sticks, you need to drink more water.

This is why in dealing with acne; one has to take a comprehensive approach. One’s overall health must be addressed – family history, hormone levels (e.g., menstruation, pregnancy, age) stress level, and diet are all important factors.

If you are looking for a natural program whose breathing and relaxation exercises are simple but effective, I highly encourage you to try my Weight Loss Breeze program!

I rely heavily on client feedback to know how well my programs help. I’ve also been fortunate enough to have many of you email me and tell me that other health conditions have improved as a result of using my program for a completely different health concern.

The most common feedback supporting this relates to my High Blood Pressure program. So many of you have written to me telling me that you used my program to treat your high blood pressure, which it did, but surprise – your Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms subsided as well!

How could this be? Let’s start with the cause. Well, there’s our catch. IBS is defined as a chronic gastrointestinal disorder with no known cause (such as cancer, etc.). Its symptoms include: abdominal pain/cramping, diarrhea, bloating, gassiness and sometimes constipation.

While it is not considered a life-threatening condition, there’s a reason it achieved the nickname, Spastic Colon. Twenty percent of the population suffers from this condition. Women tend to report symptoms more than men with symptoms being worse during menstrual cycles.

For most, it is an annoyance but for some, it can be debilitating, affecting one’s ability to maintain relationships or even a job.

While no known cause is attributed to IBS, your doctor can diagnose it with a detailed health history and by ruling out other infections or diseases.

Triggers for IBS include eating large meals, overly spicy meals, caffeine, and alcohol. The most commonly reported trigger, however, is stress.

This is where the link to my High Blood Pressure program comes in. Just like our heart and lungs, the colon is partly controlled by our autonomic nervous system. The colon has many nerves that connect up through the brain.

These nerves are responsible for normal contractions of the colon but when we are emotionally charged, overwhelmed or angry, these nerves become extra sensitive and normal contractions are exaggerated.

While there are medications available to treat IBS, I want to stress that these medications have very serious side effects including extreme constipation and blood flow restriction to the colon. The colon is an organ like any other and it cannot function without blood which delivers vital oxygen.

Other treatments for IBS include maintaining a healthy diet, getting enough sleep and consistent exercise and most importantly, reducing your stress level.

If stress seems to be the trigger of your IBS, I highly recommend my High Blood Pressure program. The natural breathing and relaxation exercises are designed to of course stabilize blood pressure but it they also help both the mind and body relax and enable you to get back to stress-free living!

What do the neck or tongue have to do with tooth grinding, jaw clenching or even snoring? Why do I recommend throat exercises for Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ) and jaw exercises for snoring?

Doesn’t make any sense, does it? (more…)

What do the neck or tongue have to do with tooth grinding, jaw clenching or even snoring? Why do I recommend throat exercises for Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ) and jaw exercises for snoring?

Doesn’t make any sense, does it?

Wouldn’t you focus entirely on the back if you were suffering from backache? Or the head if you had headache? And of course for high blood pressure, all you want to do is lower your blood pressure, right?

Well, I think that this kind of approach is ruining  health care.

No muscle is an island, neither is a nerve, bone or a limb. Every cell in our body is connected to every other cell in our body. After all, every single cell (millions of them) in our body has the exact same DNA structure, but NO cell outside our body has that exact DNA structure.

Isn’t that amazing? (maybe I’m getting a little ahead of myself).

Our bodies work as a whole.

I took my 8 year old daughter  to the chiropractor today. He said  one of her legs  appears to be a little shorter than the other. After he adjusted her,   both legs were even. No problem at all.

Luckily,  we caught this in time!

The chiropractor said this often happens in all kind of kids’ games. My daughter probably wouldn’t have noticed anything for years. But she wouldn’t have carried her body quite right. She would begin to put her  weight on the wrong muscles and bones.

And then – maybe after 30, 40, or 50 years –  she may  experience knee, back or hip problems.  She might even experience neck problems, headaches or TMJ.

It’s very likely that something similar happened to you when you were a kid. It probably happens to most of us. Something small puts our body out of balance. It might  not be noticeable, but little by little it will affect us.

And one day, the pressure will be too much and something will give.

We don’t get sick all of a sudden – unless we have an accident. Often, there is an underlying cause  wreaking gradual changes that has remained  hidden,  usually for years.

This  brings me back to my original question of why I recommend exercising muscles that don’t seem connected with the problem area.

Lets take TMJ as a example. TMJ is a condition where the jaw joints are dislocated or out of position, causing tension in the jaw muscles. This can manifest in a horrible headache, drowsiness, blurry vision, the inability to eat or talk or hundreds of other symptoms. No case of TMJ is the same.

But the solution is always the same.

I recommend special jaw, tongue, throat and neck exercises.

Now it’s quite simple to explain why I recommend the jaw exercises. By loosening and then strengthening   the jaws muscles, they will guide the jaw back into its  natural position.

But why on earth do I recommend throat exercises?

Because the muscles around the throat are directly connected to the jaw muscles. So is the tongue muscle and of course the neck muscles. So if you do not first loosen  and then strengthen these muscles, the tension will keep on pulling the jaw muscles and keep them from  doing their proper job.

The TMJ exercises come directly from my stop snoring program. The reason the same exercises work for such  different conditions is simply because they occur in the same area. So just as it is important to loosen the throat muscles to make the jaw muscles more functional, it is similarly important to loosen the jaw muscles to make the throat muscles more functional and  to open up the throat, thereby curing snoring.

 I always focus on the body as a whole, no matter what condition I’m dealing with. To cure migraine, you must train yourself to breathe deeply. You must also make sure the muscles controlling your breathing are strong and flexible.

You must always look at the big picture.

Just like people affect one another, every cell, every muscle, every bone and every nerve affects those next to it.

Warm regards,

Christian Goodman
