Is it me or have you struggled with headaches, allergy symptoms or nausea when you wake up in the morning? I didn’t know this, but there are so many off gassing chemicals from conventionally made pillows.

This has the potential to overwhelm your liver, and cause you to wake up sluggish and just plain aweful. This is why I started buying non-toxic organic pillows and mattresses for my family. Just like anything in our house, we made it a goal to save up and purchase this for our children. The results, Evalyns allergy symptoms have gotten better and she doesn’t complain of headaches.

The nutrients that are depleted can be worse based on several factors.

Things like low quality diets or the standard American Diet can increase the chances of depleting your vitamins and minerals due to certain medications.

Also, a lack of detoxification behaviors like being sedentary or not moving enough throughout the day, not sweating, or not eating nutrient dense foods in order to p**p regularly.

On the other hand, nutrient dense food can only do so much, we do need to supplement to get back to baseline quicker.

Do you have any questions on the supplements mentioned in this video?

What type of meat should we avoid?

Did you know that the grass that feeds cows is associated with higher omega 3s? However, grains and corn that are often fed to livestock or cows contain high levels of omega 6s?

Omega 6 levels can take months to lower when you stop consuming them. The best way to balance is to increase yourself dose of omega 3s! The ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 should be 1:1 just like our ancestors!
