Welcome to my SOAPBOX: we as humans are NOT deficient in pharmaceutical medications!! A new client I met with over the weekend is on THIRTY (yes, 30) pharmaceutical medications. There are short and long term side effects and med to med interactions, which in turn cause other issues and symptoms in the body. Do not get me wrong, pharmaceuticals have their time and place in emergency medicine and even for short term use in certain situations. However, did your healthcare provider discuss with you how to fix the root cause of your symptoms or diagnosis? If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety, PMS, fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease, allergies, autisim, ADHD the list goes on- did your provider dig deeper, run blood work and talk to you about what the OPTIMAL ranges are? Did they discuss drinking clean water, eating whole foods, getting sunshine daily, the products you use to clean your home, or put on your skin? These are all FOUNDATIONAL topics that everyone should have access to and be educated on. Did they check for heavy metals (in your tap water, in all the vaccines, in protein powders, chocolate), mold (have you had a water leak, do you have water spots on your ceiling, can you see visible mold growth), parasites (we all have them- they’re on our fruits and vegetables, in fish and meats, our pets have them, they’re in the dirt and in tap water), Lyme and Co infections (western blot is NOT a good test for Lyme and almost ALWAYS gives you a FALSE negative- do you have arthritis, migrating joint pain, neck pain, pain in the heels, spider veins, skin turns a blotchy red, swollen lymph nodes, twitching-list goes on). How is your gut health? Are you always bloated? Constipation or Diarrhea?

Let’s chat! I’d love to help you get to the bottom of your symptoms and provide “HEALTH CARE”. Health Care should be what we use on a day to day basis and let’s save the SICK care for emergency use. I offer FREE 20 minute Discovery Calls to listen to your story, go over the process of what it looks like to work together and see if we’d be a good fit.

More often then not I hear “I don’t eat until about 1PM.” For the people in the BACK-this is not healthy for your body. It may contribute to weight gain (shocker), insulin resistance, hormone imbalance, moodiness, brain fog and more.

Most people should eat within 30-60 minutes of waking up in order to prevent a cortisol (stress hormone) and blood sugar spike. In the hustle and bustle of our modern world we are too “stressed” to be able to effectively intermittent fast for longer than 12-14 hours overnight.

If you fast in the mornings/or even if you don’t, this is a great exercise for all-start checking your glucose levels. For OPTIMAL health you want:

Fasting glucose = 75-85
Before a meal = 75-90
Meal spike =

Where are my coffee drinkers? Comment below on which brand you drink! Is your coffee contributing to health issues? Common coffee’s are highly acidic, increase cortisol, give jitters/anxiety, trigger blood sugar imbalance, loaded with molds, heavy metals and pesticides.

What if I told you there is a coffee out there and research shows it helps to:
-eradicate viruses, bacteria and parasites
-calms anxious thoughts
-reduces stress
-improves sleep quality
-lowers LDL cholesterol
-regulates blood sugar
-rejuvenate cells
-eliminate toxins
-detoxify the liver
-modulate the immune system
-support those with mold toxicity
-improves digestion

What is so special about this coffee? It has patented double cracked Ganoderma “Reishi” Mushroom Spores mixed with Organic Coffee which is tested to ensure it is mold and heavy metal free! It is instant coffee which is easy to take on the go/make anywhere. No, you cannot taste the mushroom and no it does not taste like cheap instant coffee. It is a medium body bean and has a very smoothe taste.

In Japan Ganoderma has been listed as an adjunct herb for treating cancer. It has also been used for treating Alzheimer’s, liver disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, asthma and anxiety.

This coffee has been a game changer. Don’t take my word for it, try it out your self! Please see below on how you can purchase Organo King Coffee and give it a try.

I love mixing it with it touch of local raw honey, collagen powder and raw milk.

Organo™ Premium Gourmet Organic King of Coffee is a rich and robust coffee with the rare and exotic Ganoderma lucidum spore powder. Spores (Powder) are seeds that are produced and released by the Ganoderma plant when it reaches maturity (after about 5-7 months of growth). Spores are like the polle...

Sweating is an essential drainage function of our body. If you do not sweat, this is not a blessing, rather it's letting you know something in your body is clogged up!

💦 sweat is one way toxins exit our body

💦sweating increases circulation throughout our organs, muscles and tissues

💦when the mitochondria shut down the skin is one of the first pathways to suffer

💦we should be sweating every single day!

This is the roadmap I follow when working 1 on 1 with clients. Order of operations matter!

🔑- All drainage pathways must be open and free flowing before tackling anything else. Why? Because if your drainage pathways are stagnant and toxic waste cannot properly exit the body, it will recirculate and you will feel awful.

🔑- Then we tackle Parasites. Parasites hold up to 6x their body weight in heavy metals, mold, viruses, bacteria and candida. When killing off Parasites they release the the toxic waste into your body. If you try to tackle Heavy Metals, Mold, Lyme, Co-Infections or Viruses prior to tackling Parasites you will be on a never ending hamster wheel as the Parasites will continue to release the toxins that they are storing.

🔑- Next up, Heavy Metals and Mold

🔑- A large percentage of population has Lyme and is not aware. Unfortunately Western Medicine testing is very inaccurate and most people will get a false negative. Listen to your body and take your signs and symptoms into account.

🔑-We are then able to go after v!ru$e$

🔑-Last but not least, we REBUILD!

Let me know if you have any questions on the process or if you want to run through a symptoms checklist to see if you resonate with any of these issues!
