Well by The Season Naturopathics

12/11/2025

As a Naturopathic student, we are to write a research paper on an area of interest each year of school which must increase in length as we progress in knowledge.

Year 1, I knew I wanted to discuss Light as a Nutrient because it was something I'd been already going deep on for the last couple of years in my free time. I did not know where this would take me.

After writing my first year's paper, I couldn't just stop. I continued this topic in a much more in-depth look which covers in total 3 years worth of research papers. This is where "Light from a Naturopathic Perspective" came from.

On top of the 2-3 years of prior research, I spent most of my free time from homework reading research papers, listening to lectures, podcasts, taking notes, and spinning my mind on how this all works together. It was exhausting and frustrating, but I loved every minute of it. Then the trick was putting it on paper in a way that actually made sense to anyone, not just a Naturopath.

There is nothing but passion and drive for truth in this paper. It is not perfect, or peer-edited, but in a world of AI-written-everything, I think it is refreshing to see things from a human mind.

I may add to this still before publishing it as an official book because this is still only scratching the surface.

You will not view light and health the same after you read this.

HOMEOPATHY TESTIMONIAL: real life magic
💫

If I could use 1 tool, it would be these cheap, sweet pellets that are energy medicine.

This person attended a recent class where we discussed homeopathy during cold and flu season. It just so happened that they’d been struggling with incredibly unsettled bowels for the last 9 days!

Nothing was working, they were doing all of the things: keeping a simple diet, drinking herbal teas, hydrating, and taking some over the counter medication like pepto bismol. Nothing touched it.

After the class session, we talked for awhile and I knew Arsenicum - literally homeopathic arsenic - would be the right remedy. This is classic with any food poisoning or burning stomach. I muscle tested to confirm my thoughts.

I gave this person a SINGLE dose of Arsenicum 30C… 2 days later they informed me that it did just the trick. Nothing else has changed in their routine. Just like that they were feeling like themselves again with restored digestive health.

This is one of many testimonials I’ve had of how quickly homeopathy can work if the correct remedy is given.

⬇️🌿
If you or someone you know becomes ill and nothing is touching it, I offer an Urgent Care consultation option to provide remedies like this. 30 minutes to talk and decide on solutions, that’s it. No antibiotics, just gentle remedies that are proven to work.

Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, has raised concerns due to its potential link to severe health conditions. Recent studies have shown that living near golf courses where glyphosate is used could increase your risk of developing Parkinson’s disease by a staggering 126%. This toxic chemical is linked to various health issues, making it a major public health concern.

While glyphosate is commonly used in agriculture and landscaping, the dangers it poses are becoming clearer. Prolonged exposure to glyphosate can lead to neurological damage and other serious health risks. It’s essential to be aware of the environmental toxins around us, as they can have a profound impact on long-term health.

Avoiding areas where heavy use of glyphosate is common and supporting regulations that reduce its use are some of the ways we can protect our health. Understanding the risks of everyday chemicals can lead to better decision-making for ourselves and future generations. 🌱⚠️

Quite an amazing tool any Naturopath should have to test anyone, anywhere, anytime. No fancy tools needed, just knowledge and skill learned from the best.

Ask the NHE: All About Muscle Response Testing! 💪✨

Muscle Response Testing (MRT) gently measures muscle strength in response to various stimuli, providing insight into what the body attracts or repels. This method helps locate weakened organs and offers personalized solutions for healing. 🧭

So, how does it work?

The body acts like a lie detector system! 🕵️‍♀️ Lie detector machines track physical changes when someone tells the truth or a lie — and MRT does something similar, but instead of a machine, I assess muscle strength.

When the body hears truth, the tissues become rigid. When it hears a lie, the tissues weaken.
Ever get goosebumps from someone’s words? That’s your body resonating with truth! 🫨✨

During a consultation, I test over 80 points — including organs and nutritional areas — to determine what your body is asking to assess first. From there, we test for solutions your body most resonates with, keeping your unique wellness goals in mind. 🎯

MRT is my primary assessment tool, alongside Iridology and pH analysis, to give you a well-rounded view of your health.

Why I love MRT:
• Non-invasive ✅
• Inexpensive 💰
• Real-time results ⏱️
• Custom, body-led healing guidance 🧠❤️

This is the greatest tool in my toolbox for helping clients achieve rapid, effective results in their wellness journey.

Curious what MRT can reveal for you?

Holistic Cold and flu season LIVE!

12/05/2025

It’s true we may naturally become ill this time of year for a number of reasons, but the holiday season filled with sugar is just another way to completely suppress the immune system to allow for illness to move in!

Think about how many times a week or day white sugar enters your body:
➡️Added to coffee
➡️Sweet morning treat like a donut
➡️Cookies in the office break room
➡️Quick chocolate pick-me-up
➡️Can of pop with lunch
➡️Candy bowl on the counter
➡️Mixed drink in the evening
the list goes on.

While it is totally okay to have a treat here and there, doing this all the time sets the body up to fail, and then we wonder why we are so run down each year!

In a world of severe nutritional depletion, it’s important to keep the body as well-mineralized as possible with the sugar alternatives listed. Other options may include barley malt extract or coconut sugar.

If I do personally use a white, granulated sugar for baking, it is organic to ensure the sugar beets were not genetically modified or sprayed with toxic chemicals; however, it is still not mineralizing or health-supportive… but a better option than the typical white sugar we know.

Try to keep one or a few of these alternatives on hand when you feel like something sweet between all the festivities this year! 💫

The utmost optimal way to eat
🌞🍂❄️🌸 by the season

While the science takes you for a loop, the application is extremely simple.

Living in todays society, we eat the same way year round thanks to global supply chains. However this is not sustainable and biologically “impossible”. Creating more issues than we may think.

I think the term “seasonal eating” gets lost in translation when we are connected to people throughout the world. Dates and bananas may be in season by the equator, but that couldn’t be further from the truth up north where we have a true winter - carbohydrates do not grow. We mainly prioritize fats, meat, and ferments to get us by.

I understand not everyone lives around farmers or can readily grow their own food, but local grocers are popping up more than ever. Even big box stores often offer local produce and meat if you search around enough.

Instead of pressuring yourself to eat all local foods, this is a lifestyle. Go slow… Aim for 30% (or whatever amount) local at first and slowly build your network. See what your area has to offer. Talk to vendors at the summer farmers market to see what they offer in the off season.

December is the month everything truly slows down. 🌬️

The end of fall into early winter marks a distinct shift in nature where the rush to prep for the cold has finally halted. We get to spend more time celebrating with others, eating hearty foods, and turning in to sleep a bit earlier.

While some may dread this time of darkness, if you simply embrace what life has to offer, winter can be just as productive and vital as the other seasons. We just have to shift our focus of what “productivity” means.

With days becoming shorter by the minute, the 21st marks the time of ultimate regeneration. Doing less is actually doing more for your mind, body, and spirit.

Stay warm, yet still get outside. Be still, yet allow for some movement in the day. Socialize with others, yet make time for solitude. Indulge, yet have restraint. This is the season to test your boundaries and balance. ⚖️
