Dear Friends of Naturopathic Medicine;
"I put before you life and death, choose LIFE!"
Resilience - the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties -may be the most important quality that determines the health and happiness of any individual.
R
esilience
may be the most significant factor determining whether a person is psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically healthy. Without accepting suffering, difficulties, personal failures, and loss as part and parcel of the very essence of life, health and happiness will, more than likely, be elusive. Three examples of people who transformed suffering into new life: Superman Actor Christopher Reeves, after the fall from his horse which caused his quadriplegia, amazingly said, "I'm a lucky man." Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who knew suffering as a Black man in America, and a civil rights leader, said: "Unearned suffering is redemptive." Holocaust survivor, and Psychiatrist, Viktor Frankl, in the video below, suggests that suffering requires a "search for meaning," or it is a suffering in vain.

Sleep
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
lack of sleep is a public health epidemic, noting that insufficient sleep has been linked to a wide variety of health problems.
After reviewing more than 300 studies to determine how many hours of sleep most people need to maintain their health, an expert panel concluded that, as a general rule, most adults need right around
eight hours per night. Unfortunately, an estimated 40 percent of Americans are sleep deprived.

Reminders/News about Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center (SNMC):
1. To maximize your health, lifestyle change, is critical. Dr. Godby will seek to find the
cause of your dis-ease. In addition to recommending lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements are also prescribed based upon laboratory testing for the purpose of hastening the healing process and/or to address difficulties with lifestyle (i.e. No Vitamin D in the winter in Sacramento).
2. ALL nutritional supplements are ALWAYS 10% or more below the suggested retail price. Nordic Naturals fish oils, beginning today, until further notice, will be 15% off the suggested retail price.
3. All nutritional supplements can be mailed to anywhere in the USA (completely free for purchases over $100 in California, and only the actual shipping charge for purchases less than $100.) Most patients will receive their supplements the next day.
4. Ask about additional discounts for using our monthly autoship for sending supplements.
5. Always stay on prescribed supplements until further testing determines there is no longer a need.
6.
You have heard the saying, "you get what you pay for." That is also true for nutritional supplements. Professional supplements, sold in naturopathic offices, are intended to get professional results (transform health). The supplements that Dr. Godby prescribes are based on decades of research and quality control and the experience of thousands of practitioners.
7. Invite Dr. Godby to speak at your office or home: If you would like your friends, family members or co-workers to also have opportunity to optimize their health through naturopathic medicine, consider inviting Dr. Godby to your work place or your home where he can discuss naturopathic medicine and optimal health. For more info., contact
[email protected].
8.
A full blood panel (Dr. Godby Panel) is recommended at least once a year for all patients. The blood test results will be automatically put into our blood chemistry software so that you can receive your extensive individualized patient report. Each test on the panel was carefully and specifically chosen to best evaluate your overall health, living in the USA, and its subsequent health problems. Please remember that Dr. Godby uses optimal ranges for blood tests to help you get to your best health possible, instead of the standard references ranges used for most USA laboratories.
