Interesting study of one woman. Scanned her brain 25 times in 5 weeks before taking the pill. Went off for 3 months, scanned again 25 times in 5 weeks while on the pill. Then repeated the scans after going off. Found that while on the pill her brain volume and connectivity decreased a bit while on the pill. The article says, "Higher brain volume or connectivity does not imply improved brain function, and vice versa" but that sounds a little fishy to me. To that comment my reaction is "HA! Easy for YOU to say when it's not YOUR brain volume and connectivity that is suffering" https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03368-4?

Hours spent in a brain-imaging machine revealed rhythmic changes in brain volume and connectivity.

Hi peeps. I’m not using this page much since I’ve retired. However, I’m getting lots of messages that my page will be taken down for copyright infringement. If you want to tell me that you are writing from Facebook to tell me this page will be deleted because I’ve broken some rule, I’m pretty sure you are full of doo doo. Perhaps you would like some advice regarding gut health? I can give you some pointers. (I doubt you will get the joke though). If not, please go elsewhere and harass someone else.
Love love love the rest of you ❤️

Our Story

I believe that everyone has unlimited potential to overcome their health challenges to live their most purposeful life.

I work with individuals (mostly women over 30, but I do work with all ages and genders) who are experiencing symptoms that they haven’t found answers for through the conventional medical system. They are frustrated because they know something is wrong but they can’t find a solution. On top of that, these symptoms are keeping them from being able to live their lives to their fullest potential. This may look like them being unproductive at work, not fully present in their relationships, and not being able to be the parents they’d like to be.

Helping people overcome their health challenges is what I do. Setting them free to fully live their life’s purpose is who I am.
