🚨 Measles case just confirmed in Northwest Indiana.
This virus spreads fast — here’s what you can do right now 👇

🧠 Immune Boosters:
• Vitamin D — activates your defenses
• Vitamin A — guards entry points
• Selenium — slows virus replication
• Zinc — strengthens fighter cells
• Vitamin C — supports energy & recovery

💉 Even with two MMR shots, immunity can fade over time or with inflammation.
✅ The only way to know if you’re protected: ask your provider for a measles IgG titer test.

⚠️ If you’ve been exposed or notice fever, cough, rash, or red eyes, don’t come in — call first for instructions.
Stay home, hydrate, and rest. 🌿

🩺 Stay calm. Stay informed. Stay healthy.

🦷✨ Oil Trap — also known as oil pulling — is a 3,000-year-old Ayurvedic practice to trap bacteria and toxins in your mouth and pull them out before they harm your body.

✅ How it works: swish 1 tbsp sesame or coconut oil for 15 minutes (add a drop of clove or peppermint oil for extra antibacterial power).
⚠️ BUT… if you have mercury (“silver”) fillings, don’t do this. Oil swishing can mobilize heavy metals like mercury and expose you to more toxins.

👉 Safer alternatives instead:
1️⃣ Biocidin rinse → breaks up bacterial biofilms
2️⃣ Xylitol rinse → starves bad bacteria, feeds the good
3️⃣ Sea salt rinse → balances pH + remineralizes teeth

🚫 Skip harsh commercial mouthwashes — they kill the good bacteria you actually need.
Hack your mouth microbiome naturally, and protect your brain, heart, and gums.

🚫 3 hidden dangers inside most toothpastes that you probably use every single day.

We’ve been tricked into believing foam = clean.
But that foam is usually SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) — a harsh detergent that irritates gums, may cause mouth sores and disrupts your mouth–gut connection.

Here are the first 3 harmful ingredients I never recommend in toothpaste:
1️⃣ SLS – creates foam, but damages oral health
2️⃣ Triclosan – a hormone disruptor
3️⃣ Artificial sweeteners & dyes – irritate gums, cause ulcers, and disrupt your microbiome

👉 And guess what? These are just the tip of the iceberg.- the first half of the list.

The most controversial toothpaste ingredient is still to come — linked to thyroid problems and kids’ brain development. Plus, I’ll share which brands are actually safe and the truth about charcoal toothpaste (is it really good for whitening, or not?).

🧠 Did you know your child’s snack can shape their behavior — in just 30 minutes?
It’s not just sugar highs. Many ultra-processed foods disrupt the gut-brain connection, throwing off neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine — the very chemicals that regulate mood, focus, and self-control.

Even “natural-looking” snacks with additives, seed oils, or artificial flavors can agitate the nervous system, leading to meltdowns, foggy thinking, and emotional ups and downs.

🌱 Real food = real stability.
Protein, healthy fats, and fiber support blood sugar AND brain chemistry — helping your child stay calm, focused, and in flow.

✨ Every bite is information. Feed their potential.
