I love simple but powerful tools!

Salt is so very simple but so powerful! A study found that gargling can prevent colds and flus but also can decrease the severity! 🤯

Researchers used hypertonic saline (1.5% to 3% salt). They had people gargling 3 times daily for 15-60 seconds ensuring the solution reaches the back of the throat.

The study shows a 30% to 36% decrease in getting an infection. For those who did get sick, saltwater gargling reduced the duration of viral shedding by an average of 1.9 to 2.5 days.

Salt kills the virus, decreases the amount of virus that can infect you, and thins out mucus. So this is an easy win-win! Get gargling!!!

Yoggu Yogurt

Directly from their website Yoggu states they…

“Make the highest quality coconut yogurt, using only ingredients from nature.

Our vision is to change the foodscape.
At Yoggu! we are passionate about using nourishing ingredients from nature, food preserving through fermentation rather than adding preservatives and pouring only good energy into every cup!

It is vegan, dairy free, gluten free and allergen free so it is great for many of my patients!

My score is:
Taste and texture 5/5
Nutrition 3.5/5 (I would like it to have more protein and calcium but that’s just me)
Overall score 4.25/5

Let me know if you have tried it!

(Also let me know if you want me to do more of these.)

Are you feeling tired, have brain fog, headaches, gas and bloating?

Maybe you need to try doing the Candida Diet.

This has been around since the first day I started at school and most likely before that for many years since it wasn’t something new when I learned about it 20 plus years ago. So if something is around for that long it has to be helpful!

I literally have taken pictures of the sheets that we were given at school and I have used every day in my clinic since I started. It is really detailed on what foods to eat and not eat, and with a comprehensive shopping list. Do this for 3-4 weeks and you will see a marked change in how you are feeling.

Now you may wonder how you got a Candida overgrowth in the first place? Well we all have this yeast within us but it is opportunistic, meaning it will overgrow if given the chance. What gives Candida a chance is a diet high in sugar, processed foods, and yeast filled products like breads and alcohols. Uh, hello holidays!!

This diet then helps to kill off the excess Candida and you can get back to feeling yourself again :)

And last but not least is your thyroid labs! You may be wondering why you are so tired and this can be another big reason why!

You do want to get your Thyroid Stimulating Hormone or TSH tested if you are feeling off. The optimal level is 0.5-2 mIU/L.

Now this is a bit confusing because when the number goes high it actually means your thyroid is not functioning as quickly as it should be and when it drops low is when it is too hyper!

So when the number is above 2, that means you have hypothyroidism, undereating and overexercising, radiation or thyroid removal, infections, inflammation, stress, blood sugar issues, nutrient deficiencies and mold. But if the number is below 0.5, then you have hyperthyroidism, inflammation, stress, blood sugar issues, infections, inflammation, high iodine intake, heavy metals and pituitary issues.

Again I have seen where some of my patients have felt perfectly normal at 0.3 mIU/L and when it went into the optimal they only felt worse so always I love seeing the bloodwork over the years to see what is optimal for you and how you are feeling!

But what can you do for your TSH? Avoid too low carb diets, eat more zinc/protein/selenium in the diet, remove gluten, lower stress, manage exercise levels, avoid alcohol, and use supplements like a really good multivitamin for nutrients and liver support.

This way you can make sure your energy is the best it can be!

I really don’t want any woman to have to deal with extra fatigue related to iron deficiency anemia! (Women are tired enough with everything they have to deal with these days.)

So when you do get your Iron panel tested, please get your ferritin tested as well.

Ferritin is how much iron your body has stored up (the simple version). The optimal level is 25-80 ug/L (but also others have found 50-80 ug/L to be where most women feel best).

When it is too high then that means you have iron overload from eating/supplementing too much, inflammation, liver dysfunction, B12/folate deficiency, infections, mold and blood transfusion. When it is low it is due to iron deficiency anemia, infection, not eating enough iron foods and blood loss.

What can you do to help your iron stores? If you have too much iron you can decrease it by doing an anti-inflammatory diet, drinking tea, avoid cast iron pans, avoid iron in vitamins and castor oil over the liver. But to increase your iron please use cast iron pans, eat more iron foods, NAC/ALA, and take Vitamins C/D/B complex along with iron supplements.

No one needs to feel more tired in this busy world we live in so take care of your ferritin!

I love to look at people’s bloodwork because it can give me such a good little peek into their body along with everything that they have told me they are experiencing.

Now you may have gone in and heard all your bloodwork was “normal” but you are still feeling a bit off. Now it could be something that just isn’t optimal in your labs. And that’s where I like to help you out!

So to start off, I want to talk about your white blood cell count or WBC for short on your test results.

An optimal WBC is 5-7.5 x 10³ /mm³ . When it is high it can mean an infection from a bacteria or virus or parasite, stress, inflammation, cancer and late in pregnancy. When it is low it can e a chronic infection from a virus or bacteria or parasite, vitamin B12 or B6 or folate deficiency, allergies, autoimmune conditions and cancer.

Now there can be individual variation as I have seen perfectly healthy patients with levels both higher and lower but after knowing them for 20 years that is normal for them so trends do mean something too which is why I love having regular bloodwork done!

So how can you help out your WBC if you are not optimal? You can start with a health promoting diet like the Mediterranean diet, moving your body, adequate sleep, getting outside in the sun, stress management, a B complex, vitamin D, Quercetin and/or many other lifestyle and supplements do help out your WBC levels when you get down to the root of what is going on in you!

Stay tuned for more this week…

Here is a little winter boosting acupressure session for you!

Use these points to boost your energy, keep your immune system strong and open up the airways.

Don’t forget to do both sides and you can do these points as much as you need in the day (just don’t do the points on your hand or inner leg if you are pregnant).

Let me know if you have any questions!

It is still deep winter and in Traditional Asian Medicine that means that you need to keep your body warm because it is still cold outside.

Let’s do a Qi gong move that warms up the joints and gets you ready to go do whatever you need to do today (or if you need a break from work).

Do this as much as you want but just make sure you stay even between sides (which I wasn’t in the video, oops).
