PURSER WELLNESSTwelve Traits of a Good DoctorFrom the reading room

Aloha! Each of us have experiences with good and bad doctors. Having a good doctor in your corner, aligned with your needs and preferences, is key in a long-lasting relationship to make health a priority and to stay healthy. A good experience is not only with the doctor, but with all staff (reception, nurse, etc.). Careful consideration will help you avoid wasting time and energy. Recently, I have been in search for a primary care doctor. I reached out to my oncologist office for recommendations to fill prescriptions and annual exams. When I scheduled an appointment, I requested a female physi

PURSER WELLNESSBreast Cancer Awareness - Part 2From the reading room

Aloha, It was pleasure being able to give you a sneak peak into my story about breast cancer during the Facebook Live Event last month. As promised in my previous blog, this is part two which I am excited to share testimonials of two significant women in my life. Let me share a little background with you. I was diagnosed at age 30 with stage 3 breast cancer. My mother passed at age 42 of stage 4 breast cancer. Many of my siblings and cousins - at young ages - have had to discuss with spouses this same topic of selective mastectomy, to lower their chances for breast cancer. These women are maki

PURSER WELLNESSBreast Cancer Awareness - Part 1From the reading room

Aloha cherished Friends & Guests, Breast cancer can turn life upside down and make life a rollercoaster physically, mentally, and emotionally. This topic is close to my heart after losing loved ones to cancer and fighting breast cancer myself. I hope this blog helps promote proactive prevention as many people do not think about cancer until it is too late. In recent years, vast improvements in treatment save many more lives through new information and evolving ideas. However, too many are still affected by this disease which is why treatment and prevention must continue to improve. I am fortun

PURSER WELLNESSBenefits of CoQ10A conversation with Dr. Purser

Aloha friends! Have you wanted to learn more of CoQ10, but information about this supplement is confusing? Many people are also confused, and Dr. Purser acknowledges it is a complicated topic. I hope you find answers while reading since CoQ10 as it plays an important role in activating the metabolism. CoQ10 is a nutrient our body naturally produces and acts as an antioxidant which protects cells from damage and improve overall well-being. If you suffer from hypothyroidism, cardiovascular complications, fatigue, or other energy-depleting conditions, CoQ10 is a great option to boost your energy.

PURSER WELLNESSNatural Infertility TreatmentFrom the reading room

Infertility affects thousands of couples each year who struggle to find helpful advice. One common treatment recommended is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Although initial testing is performed, it is incredible how many doctors leap to IVF as an answer. The two reasons I would not recommend IVF is the treatment’s cost and scope. To complete the treatment, couples can expect to spend roughly $12,500 (Utah IVF average) while critical infertility issues (low testosterone and sperm count from pituitary, genetic, or nutritional factors) are rarely considered. Unfortunately, more natural female infer

PURSER WELLNESSNatural Osteoporosis TherapyFrom the reading room

Osteoporosis is a problem many individuals face. However, osteopenia (a precursor to osteoporosis) is an even bigger challenge few recognize. To compound the issue, many doctors prescribe bisphosphonates when undiagnosed (or improperly diagnosed) vitamin deficiencies are causing osteopenia and osteoporosis. Unfortunately, bisphosphonates are reported to have a 75% rate of serious side effects. Vitamin deficiencies are no joking matter in relation to osteoporosis. Most know a lack of Vitamin D can cause softer bones and lower levels of calcium. Yet, many other vitamin deficiencies, including ma

PURSER WELLNESSWater - Lotus LifeFrom the reading room

Aloha friends, Growing up, my mother’s remedy was to always drink more water if I did not feel well. To be honest, I thought the water got to her head as she was a natural swimmer and in the pool every day. Water also was her drink of choice and would be by her side wherever she would go. As I have aged and learned more of the benefits from water, my mother’s obsession with water makes sense as it improves body function, health, and energy. As we are mid-summer, understanding how to stay hydrated is essential to remain healthy and enjoy summer fun. Our bodies are 60% water and consistently bei

PURSER WELLNESSVitamin D - Lotus LifeA conversation with Dr. Purser

Have you heard of the ‘Sunshine Vitamin’, or Vitamin D, that brings joy into life and provides countless healthy benefits? Enjoying the sun is a natural way to replenish this vitamin and an essential part of any personal health program! Vitamin D promotes healthy bones. Vitamin D is beneficial to our health in numerous ways. The vitamin rejuvenates calcium levels and helps with bone and tooth strength. It also supports the immune and nervous system while regulating insulin levels. On top of these great benefits, those who regularly use Vitamin D see increases in energy levels! Personally, I no

PURSER WELLNESSCopper Toxicity - Lotus LifeA conversation with Dr. Purser

Aloha cherished Friends & Guests, Have you heard of copper toxicity? I know I hadn’t until I witnessed a relative have a severe reaction. I was blown away at how quickly it came on and how sick she became. It made me wonder what foods are high in copper and why it causes this type of reaction. I began to wonder if I was also at risk with high copper foods. It is definitely worth it to figure out how to prevent illnesses and live a healthier lifestyle. Now what foods are high in copper? More foods than you would believe have copper! My relative, as I mentioned above, became sick after eating In

PURSER WELLNESSBenefits of Fasting - Lotus LifeA conversation with Dr. Purser

Aloha cherished Friends & Guests! Food is everywhere. The smell, the taste, the sight of it. It is hard not indulging in the delicious aromas surrounding you, especially when your stomach is grumbling and your automatic thought is to satisfy your hunger. I love food, and when my stomach is grumbling all I want to do is ‘feed the beast’. Have you ever thought about the benefits of fasting (for 24, 48 or 72 hours)? If you are religious or needed blood work, surgeries, or procedures, you may be familiar to fasting. As I mentioned previously, I am a breast cancer survivor. The benefits of fasting

PURSER WELLNESSGABA - The Natural Anti Anxiety SupplementFrom the reading room

Did you know 40 million people are affected by anxiety disorders? This is a fact according to The Anxiety and Depression Association of America. I personally think anxiety and depression walk a fine line. And I suffer from both. For me, this really started to come out when my mom passed of breast cancer, followed by her older sister a few years later. I’m the first in my generation to fight cancer and so far, the only one to survive. As long as I keep my anxiety under control my depression is easier to manage. My anxiety levels increase significantly in certain situations such as social events
