To many, warmer weather means more time spent outs

To many, warmer weather means more time spent outside enjoying time with family and friends! Sun safety can help make these experiences that much more pleasant. Wearing sunscreen and practicing other sun-protective habits can significantly reduce the likelihood of sunburn, skin aging, and UV-induced skin cancers. But what is natural sunscreen, and how does it protect the skin?
The sun emits electromagnetic energy as ultraviolet radiation (UVR) at different wavelengths, including ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. These different wavelengths exert various effects on human skin that are dependent on skin absorption patterns and melanin levels, a natural skin pigment.
Both UVB and UVA radiation are associated with damage to skin cells and DNA, and both can contribute to the development of skin cancers. Sunburn is predominantly caused by UVB radiation, and UVA radiation is associated with skin aging and an increase in pigmentation (tanning).
Why is sunscreen important?
Sunscreen is important because it protects the skin from UV radiation and plays a role in preventing skin cancers, sunburn, and increased skin aging...
Physical and chemical sunscreens are the two main types of sunscreen available. But how does sunscreen work? Physical sunscreens reflect the sun’s rays and act as a physical barrier, while chemical sunscreens absorb the sun’s rays. Utilizing a broad-spectrum sunscreen in addition to practicing other sun safety techniques can help prevent sunburn, accelerated skin aging, and the risk of developing skin cancer. read more

Yes, ultraviolet (UV) eye protection matters. UV r

Yes, ultraviolet (UV) eye protection matters. UV radiation from the sun can damage not only the skin of your eyelid but also the cornea, lens and other parts of the eye. UV exposure also contributes to the development of certain types of cataracts, growths on the eye and possibly macular degeneration.

To protect your eyes, look for sunglasses that:

Block 99% to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays
Screen out 75% to 90% of visible light
Have lenses that are perfectly matched in color and free of distortions and imperfections
Have lenses that are gray for proper color recognition
The color of the lenses and the degree of darkness the sunglasses provide have nothing to do with the sunglasses' ability to block UV rays. Opt for wraparound sunglasses or closefitting sunglasses with wide lenses that protect your eyes from every angle. Some contact lenses also offer UV protection, but should be worn in combination with sunglasses to maximize protection.

The formation of Empowered Healing Center (EHC) ca

The formation of Empowered Healing Center (EHC) came that very same day. Details of what I knew patients needed from a medical practice, but more importantly of their medical provider, flooded my head for months on end and slowly EHC began to take shape. I did not want to make any announcement of EHC’s birth until all was set in place. Finding the right home for EHC was important; serving Utah County was necessary since it is underserved from naturopathic and eastern medical care in comparison to Salt Lake County. When Empowered Healing Center finally came to be, I realized that although I was bringing closure to the chapter of the creation of the clinic, it was also the beginning of something much larger and exciting!

This magical February evening, the gentle warm sun

This magical February evening, the gentle warm sun rays from the golden hour hugged the red rock formations and cliff walls all around me a little more differently than before. It was there that the name came together as I spoke out loud to myself during this drive. With the inability to write anything down, and certainly not in a position just yet to grab my phone and create a phone memo, I resorted to repeating the name Empowered Healing Center almost a hundred times, so it seemed, as to not forget it. I wish I could say I was exaggerating on how many times I repeated Empowered Healing Center but I am not ;-)

When that medical conference came to a conclusion

When that medical conference came to a conclusion it was time to head back home and hit the road. It was probably one of the shortest drives I have ever experienced, from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City, as I was lost in deep thought. I was excited, as I am now, but perhaps a tad more giddy since it was the infancy of creating a vision into a reality. I ran through my head various names of what I felt would represent a clinic that was seen as a home base for healing. As the drive continued, I had a moment of enlightenment as the sun began to set.

I can remember vividly sitting at a medical confer

“Hello and Hello there health warriors!

I can’t contain my excitement of knowing Empowered Healing Center is celebrating it’s 3rd anniversary!

If you love celebrating Pi Day then you are bound to love Tau Day, as it is twice of Pi!

"Tau Day is an annual celebration of the circle constant τ=6.283185…, which takes place every June 28 (6/28 in the American calendar system). To learn more about what τ (tau) is and why it’s important, read The Tau Manifesto...."

"The tau movement was founded by the former University of Utah math professor Robert Palais who believed that tau simplified the math. Palais noticed that something was off with pi when calculating the sine of π/2 and the image he saw didn’t add up to the calculations. From this, he knew that pi wasn’t the way. Palais published his findings in a 2001 article titled 'π is Wrong' in the 'Mathematical Intelligencer.' "

"Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation – which had become official January 1, 1863."
