Vital Force Naturopathy

I’ve been noticing something more and more in my work and in conversations with patients.

There are two very different philosophies of healthcare operating in America today.

One is rooted in centralized authority and intervention-driven care.

The other emphasizes autonomy, prevention, resilience, and working with the body as an intelligent system.

This isn’t about left or right.
It isn’t generational.
It’s philosophical.

We didn’t eliminate illness in the conventional model.
We changed its shape.

From acute death… to chronic disease.

From short lives… to longer, but often sicker ones.

My work isn’t about rejecting modern medicine.
It’s about re-humanizing it.

Healthcare should invite curiosity, informed consent, and humility.

If you value curiosity over certainty, and responsibility over blind trust... then you're a vital force person!

You may have seen headlines claiming that drinking more than one diet soda per day is linked to a fourfold increase in dementia risk.

That number gets attention. But context matters.

In this study, only 2.3% of participants were in the “more than one per day” group. When individuals with obesity or diabetes were excluded, the association disappeared.

That raises the possibility of reverse causation, where underlying metabolic dysfunction may influence both beverage choices and dementia risk.

Important distinction: This study does not prove diet soda causes dementia.

It does reinforce something simpler.

Diet soda offers no meaningful health benefit. It doesn’t nourish the brain or support metabolic resilience.

Water, mineral water, herbal tea... those are your hydration upgrades.

The link to the study is in the comments for anyone who wants to read it directly.

Curiosity over panic. Always.

A simple reminder from Vital Force Naturopathy and Dr. Swanz.

If you’re feeling tired, foggy, or irritable, start with water.

So many people push through low energy with caffeine or grit, when the body is simply under-hydrated. Hydration supports your brain, digestion, circulation, and nervous system.

Sometimes the most powerful changes come from the basics done consistently.

Stay curious. Stay empowered. Pursue health always!

This Is Your Reminder to Soften...

So many people think that if they want to change habits then the answer is simply more discipline.

But if your nervous system is fried, no amount of pushing will fix it.

Start with regulation: slow your breathing, drop your shoulders, give your body a signal that it’s safe.

Your nervous system sets the tone for your energy, focus, digestion, and sleep.

Health gets easier when you start there.

So much of healthcare is focused on naming the problem…

But real healing often comes from supporting the foundations underneath it.

Holistic medicine doesn’t ignore labs or diagnoses.
It simply asks a bigger question:

What does your body need to function well again?

Lifestyle, stress, sleep, digestion, nourishment, movement...
that’s where sustainable healing begins.

Stay curious. Stay empowered. Pursue health.

This is your gentle reminder that movement doesn’t have to be complicated.

Even 10 minutes counts.
A walk after dinner.
A stretch before bed.
A few lifts to wake the body up.

Health is built through small, repeatable choices, not an all-or-nothing plan.

Do something tonight that your future body will quietly thank you for.

This is something I see all the time.

People want to feel better.
They want more energy, resilience, and long-term health.

But they’re waiting for insurance to approve it first.

Health insurance does important thingsm, but it was never designed to promote prevention, vitality, or long-term adaptation.

It steps in after illness.
Not before.

This video is a conversation about that gap and why so many of the things that truly improve health aren’t billable.

Insurance has its place.
But health is built through awareness, education, lifestyle alignment, and support... long before a claim is filed.

Sometimes the most important question isn’t whether something is covered.
It’s what it’s costing you to keep waiting.

If you’ve ever wished you had more natural options at home for colds, flu, or first-aid situations... this is for you.

This Saturday, February 7th at 1 PM, I’ll be at Seeds & Greens in New Albany for a free talk on Homeopathy for Home Use.

We’ll talk about simple, effective ways to support health at home, how homeopathy works, and when it makes sense to use other tools.

It’s practical, empowering, and designed for real life.

Hope to see you there.

Here's a list of examples where the government worked with the Institute of Medicine to "Debunk" a number of health concerns for Americans. In all of these cases, the private-for-profit institute "debunked" the concerns which all turned out to be legitimate and harmful concerns for Americans. Debunked = Lied in all of these cases.
FYI, this is the same private-for-profit Institute of Medicine that debunked the ASD / Vax link.
