Robert
Frost once wrote: "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one
less traveled by, and that has made all the difference" (2014). I think Mr. Frost was speaking about the
decisions we make on our journey through this hectic world, and the positive
outcome (s) should we diverge from the mainstream.
Greetings, in health and wellbeing to all who find this informative
blog. My name is Tim Grutzius and I am a
wellness educator and certified personal trainer. My overall goal is to develop a community of
people who want to improve their quality of life along with the activities of
daily living. It will be a place where
individuals from all walks of life can come to share their stories on how they
strive for a more balanced existence so that others may learn to do the same.
Over the
past several years I have become better educated about natural self-care of
which I will pass along to our community. Topics of discussion will include:
herbs, aromatherapy, Bach Flower Essences, chiropractic, massage, acupuncture,
etc. I have used all of these modalities
with great success to maintain body homeostasis (balance) when I faced common
ailments. Additionally, I will conduct field interviews with the
practitioners that have helped me find this balance so that you, the reader,
will gain better insight into these healing methods.
Holism
looks at an individual's mind-body-spirit
connection. Therefore, what you learn on
these pages may have worked for others, but you may not respond with the same
success. Remember, we are individuals,
and not carbon copies. I must also
caution that if you have a pre-existing condition (s), you should always
consult with your primary healthcare provider prior to trying any suggestions
of fellow community members. Some
modalities may be contraindicated with your current medical protocols or
prescribed medications.
My goal
is to provide you with an educational experience that makes you a better
informed person. I welcome you to post
questions about self-care and fitness.
If I do not know the answer, I will research using due diligence and
provide references with any posted information.
Finally,
as a certified personal trainer, I will cover fitness related topics that use
the most up-to-date science-based exercise recommendations from organizations
such as the American Council on Exercise and the American College of Sports
Medicine.
Once
again, I welcome all who find this new community and if you stay, please invite others to join in the conversation.
Together, let's answer Robert Frost's call to action, and take the road less
traveled. In our case, it is the road to
a more balanced and fit life. In my next
post I will set the stage by sharing my own personal story.
Yours
in health,
Tim
