WAY TO GO MEXICO 🇲🇽🙌

A broad coalition of Mexican lawmakers is pushing to ban nearly 200 chemicals used in pesticides, saying they endanger human health, and the plan has alarmed farmers who say the move could devastate the country's food production.

This study was led by a 16 year old.🤩 What you put at the end of your fork really matters!! Ultra-processed foods are “engineered to be as addictive as possible.”

A study of adolescent eating habits found that certain ultra-processed foods, such as candy, prepackaged pastries and frozen desserts, may act as a 'gateway' and lead to increased intake of other unhealthy foods. 43% of the adolescents estimated that they increased their consumption of ultra-process...

This is one of the NON FOOD items that I tell EVERYONE to stay away from. These artificial sweeteners are so toxic! They disrupt our gut microbiota, our liver detoxification and are linked to cancer.

Recent research showed that two artificial sweeteners may interfere with this organ's detoxification capabilities. In what other ways can they wreck your health?

So many people with chronic health issues blame family history of disease on their current situation: ⁠
⁠
"weight issues run in my family...."⁠
"my mom and aunt both had breast cancer..."⁠
"dementia runs in my family... " ⁠
⁠
OUR GENES ARE NOT OUR DESTINY!⁠
⁠
Yes, having a family history of disease, or a genetic predisposition to say, gain weight, is relevant (and important), but it's not the whole story. ⁠
⁠
Our genome (our DNA) is like the hardware of a computer; it's fixed and is there to facilitate the doing of the work. The EPIGENOME is the software that tells the computer what to do - and the code on that software is editable! ⁠
⁠
Epigenome basically means "above genetics". Epigenetics is the study of the things that turn ON and turn OFF gene expression. ⁠
⁠
So just because you have a gene, does not mean that gene is being expressed. AND, how you live, what you eat, your life experiences, your exposure to chemicals, stress, etc can influence whether those genes get expressed or not. ⁠
⁠
This is the heart of the NATURE vs NURTURE argument; it's not one or the other, it's BOTH. ⁠
⁠
NATURE = Your DNA - your inherited genes⁠
NURTURE = Your malleable, changeable epigenome. ⁠
⁠
Want to turn OFF gene expression for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc? ⁠
⁠
🤟🏼 Eat whole foods⁠
🤟🏼 Get exercise⁠
🤟🏼 Sleep!⁠
🤟🏼 AVOID CHEMICAL EXPOSURES ⁠
🤟🏼 Do fun stuff⁠
🤟🏼 Heal emotional trauma ⁠
⁠
While it's not a guarantee that disease won't strike, these changes better stack the odds in your favor. ⁠
⁠
Teaching your clients or patients that they can literally change the expression of their genes by dialing DOWN unhealthy habits, and dialing UP healthy ones is super empowering!

Doing a detox regimen once or twice a year is really important for two reasons:
1) modern farming practices allow toxic pesticides and chemicals to be sprayed on crops.
2) pharmaceuticals, eating a standard american diet, not getting enough sleep and combating stress can affect our gut bacteria, which in turn weakens our immune system.

Want to lighten up and slide effortlessly into summer fun? Eating these nine foods is a great way to boost your health and detoxify your body -- so you can sail through spring with ease

I’ve been a huge fan of medicinal mushrooms for a while. They are anticancer, immunomodulatory, have antioxidant effects, anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic. Consider adding these powerful mushrooms to your supplement regimen! 🍄☺️

Two of my favorites are: My-Immune Defense from Nature’s Sunshine
and NeuroEffect from Paleovalley.

Mushrooms have recently gained popularity in culinary circles, but their far-reaching therapeutic properties should get your attention for a longer and healthier life
