Women's Wellness for Mind and Body

Women's Wellness Women today face unique challenges throughout their lives. Every stage of a woman’s life is accompanied by specific mental and physiological changes that require attention and support from other women. Fair Oaks Therapeuticum offers Women’s Wellness for Mind and Body to support women with strategies that promote optimum mental and physical health. Women have always been the nurturers and relationship builders but so often focus their gifts on others and forget their own needs.

Stress and fatigue are two health concerns of many women throughout their lives. By learning the mindfulness and relaxation strategies that mind-body experts use, you will be better equipped to contend with everyday stressors and keep chronic tension from wreaking havoc on your mental and physical health. Studies suggest that long-term stress contributes to depression and anxiety disorders, weight and metabolic problems, auto-immune illness, chronic fatigue, increased sensitivity to pain, memory loss, among other problems. Women may also be particularly sensitive to stress-related ailments such as irritable bowel syndrome and tension headaches. Meanwhile, boosting your energy levels – through natural approaches such as breath work, yoga, a rainbow diet and better sleep hygiene – may work wonders in enriching your overall quality of life.

To round out your life-long self-care routine, certain vitamin and mineral supplements can safeguard your mind and body against common problems and disorders. Whether your life requires a micro-adjustment to balance your inner and outer demands or you need to reset and alleviate specific symptoms or disorders, Women’s Wellness for Mind and Body is your ally in developing new healthful rhythms that support us to live a longer and healthier life.

Women's WellnessWomen’s Wellness for Mind and Body incorporates research from functional medicine, Dr. Andrew Weil’s work on natural health, and the body of research and practices pioneered by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

L.A. Times: Families of autistic kids sue over cuts in therapy

February 2010: Families of autistic children in eastern Los Angeles County filed a class-action lawsuit today against the nonprofit agency that provides them with state-funded services, alleging that it had illegally discontinued their therapy for the disorder. The agency, the Eastern Los Angeles County Regional Center, informed more than 100 families late last summer that the therapy—known as the DIR model, or "developmental, individual difference, relationship-based"—was being eliminated for their children because of state budget cuts.

The therapy is the basis for a popular treatment known as Floortime, in which a therapist follows a child’s lead during play activities to build communication and social interaction skills.

Brain imaging may help diagnose autism

January 2010: Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) process sound and language a fraction of a second slower than children without ASDs, and measuring magnetic signals that mark this delay may become a standardized way to diagnose autism. Researchers at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia reported their findings in an online article in the journal Autism Research.

"More work needs to be done before this can become a standard tool, but this pattern of delayed brain response may be refined into the first imaging biomarker for autism," said study leader Timothy P.L. Roberts, Ph.D., vice chair of Radiology Research at Children’s Hospital.
