I took a deep dive into the peptide madness that is everywhere in the health conversation. Don't dive in head first without getting some background. I did peptides in the most hard-core way for 7 months (quite recently, as a matter of fact)under a doctor's close supervision and my stress went up and my bank balance went down. My health picture stayed virtually the same.
I just completed a course with 90-ish docs and natropaths who specialize in Peptide therory and/or treatments. That's a lot of experience to chime in on a topic.
Do not undertake peptide therapy if you are chronically ill without some careful medical guidance (and that does exist out there!!)
Lots of people are using methylation blue with great results in specific circumstances. Not all people. Some people. And why were they drawn to take it in the first place? That is very individualized.
Remeber - just because something is popular does not make it right.
Ok - and I say GOOD DAY!

Plastics!! The threat is very real to the planet and to everything on it. See the quote below from Justine Senger. Give it a read and see what you think.......Maybe it really is time to throw out those plastic straws!!

Hey Adele,

This week, I came across a video that honestly stopped me in my tracks.

A nurse who specializes in oncology confidently stated that “drinking from plastic doesn’t matter” and that “there’s no evidence plastics contribute to cancer.”

It’s the kind of statement that perfectly captures what’s broken in modern medicine: a system that sees disease as random mutation instead of cellular communication collapse.

Let’s be clear cancer is not a genetic accident.

Cancer is a mitochondrial disease.

It’s what happens when the very engines that power your cells lose charge, coherence, and the ability to communicate with the environment that created them.

And what drives that loss of charge?

The same environmental chaos we keep telling people doesn’t matter artificial blue light, lack of sunlight, lack of movement, fake food, artificial frequencies, and yes… plastics.

The Physics of Plastic and the Biology of Disconnection
Plastics don’t just harm the planet; they dismantle the very signaling systems that keep us alive.

When you drink from plastic, you’re not just sipping water you’re taking in endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA and phthalates that mimic estrogen, scramble hormone receptors, and interfere with mitochondrial communication.

Microplastics have now been found in human blood, lungs, placenta, and even breast milk.

And the research is sobering: these tiny fragments infiltrate cells, disrupt mitochondrial membranes, increase reactive oxygen species, and impair ATP synthesis (your energy currency).

Once your mitochondria lose charge, the cell’s internal guidance system fails; it can no longer tell when to grow, when to rest, when to repair.

That’s the origin of cancer: not “bad genes,” but broken energy flow.

So when someone in oncology says “it doesn’t matter,” they’re not just misinformed they’re defending the very disconnection that keeps people sick.

Cellular Truth
Everything comes back to charge, flow, and coherence.

Plastics block that flow at every level from planetary ecosystems to cellular respiration.

They disconnect biology from the light, minerals, and natural resonance that built it.

Healing is not about erasing disease, it's about rebuilding communication between your mitochondria and your environment.

That starts with simple, powerful choices:

Drink from glass or stainless steel

Reconnect with natural light daily

Choose real food wrapped in nature, not chemistry

And above all, remember that you are an electrical being - not a machine
I say this often because it’s the heart of everything I teach:

You cannot build coherent health in an incoherent environment.

Plastics are more than an environmental issue they are a redox issue, a mitochondrial issue, and ultimately, a human energy crisis.

If medicine continues to separate the human body from its environment, it will keep treating symptoms of a disconnection it refuses to see.

So on that note, I say good day!

Here's a little something that you can do anywhere/anytime to settle you nervous system and tone your vagus nerve.

It’s not just about your mind.
It’s about cellular safety.

Because your nervous system doesn’t speak English - it speaks voltage.

When your mitochondria can’t make enough energy, your vagus nerve can’t signal safety.
Your brainstem can’t downshift.
Your body doesn’t feel safe to digest, to rest, or to heal.

The Tongue-Vagus Reset

When you rub your tongue slowly side-to-side across the roof of your mouth, you’re not just doing a quirky trick -you’re activating one of your body’s most powerful regulatory networks.

That movement stimulates a dense web of mechanoreceptors in the palate and tongue that connect directly to four key cranial nerves the trigeminal (V), facial (VII), glossopharyngeal (IX), and vagus (X).
All of these converge in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) in your brainstem the exact region that governs autonomic balance, digestion, and heart rhythm.

By creating gentle, rhythmic pressure, you’re sending your brain the most primal signal it knows: "You're safe.”

That motion mimics the natural oscillations of chewing, swallowing, and slow breathing - all built-in pacemakers of calm.

Remember: our potential for healing is immense

In the thick of studying Mitochondrial Medicine. Fascinating. 90 Doctors and NDs and a handful of lay persons - me being 1 of those. The biology is intense and a lot of it flies right over my head - but then there are the diamonds to mine and a community of very forward thinking practitioners to communicate with.

Embracing Circadian Alignment practices. Crazy - I've got more red lights than a brothel!! Paul is coping.

It is fascinating - working to enhance one's voltage and moving towards robust mitochondrial function.

What would a highly respected functional medicine doctor (AKA Mark Hyman) recommend for supplementation? What is RDA? AI?

What exactly do the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) and Adequate Intake (AI) mean?

These guidelines help determine how much of each nutrient you should consume to avoid deficiency-related diseases but they don’t provide an optimal intake for peak health.

Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): The RDA is the average daily level of nutrient intake that’s sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97-98%) healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group. It’s based on scientific research and is meant to cover the needs of the majority of the population.

Adequate Intake (AI): The AI is established when there isn’t enough evidence to develop an RDA. It’s the recommended average daily intake level based on observed or experimentally determined estimates of nutrient intake by a group of healthy people. AI is used as a guideline when an RDA cannot be determined, and it provides a target for nutrient intake that is assumed to ensure nutritional adequacy.
Essential Vitamins
Vitamins are organic compounds that are crucial for maintaining your health, and there are 13 vitamins that are considered essential for your body’s normal functioning. These essential vitamins are divided into two categories based on how they are absorbed and stored in the body:

Fat-soluble vitamins: These vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are stored in the body's fatty tissues and liver. They can remain in your body for longer periods, and your body can draw on these stores when needed.
Water-soluble vitamins: These include the eight B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12) and vitamin C. Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in large amounts and need to be replenished regularly through your diet, as excess amounts are excreted through urine.
Each of these essential vitamins plays a unique role in supporting your body’s growth, development, and overall health. While some vitamins, like vitamin D, can be synthesized by your body under certain conditions, others must be obtained entirely through your diet or supplements.

Typically, these essential minerals are divided into 7 macrominerals (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur) and 9 trace minerals (iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, selenium, molybdenum, and chromium).

You’ll note that many of these minerals are described as “cofactors.” Cofactors are molecules that help your body’s processes work properly, like turning food into energy or building new cells. (Also: I’ve included three types of magnesium because, if you supplement, you’ll want to choose the form that best serves your needs.)
