Hair loss....EEEEEK! 😲
I see at least 3 - 4 clients a week who are concerned about the amount of hair they're losing. It can be quite disturbing! 😢
Hair loss will always come back to digestion and mineral balance. 💯
Huh?
What does digestion have to do with hair??? ❓
In order to grow and maintain hair, your body has to have the ABILITY to digest, absorb and use protein, fats AND minerals from your diet. (so many of us take this process for granted!)
What influences your ability to digest, absorb and use protein, fats and minerals from your diet? 🤔
Stress (creates hormones that impairs/slows digestion) 🐢
Poor hCL production in the stomach (age, stress, unresolved emotions and medications cause this) ⬇️
Eating too much junk processed foods (creates stress, see above) 🍞🥯🍟
Not eating enough protein or fat (also means you aren't getting enough of the micro/minerals needed) 🍗🧈🥑
Leaky gut (damage from toxic food, water, medications, unresolved emotions) 🔥
All of these situations create inflammation in your body. Your body will attempt to manage that inflammation by taking energy away from growing hair and devoting that energy to something more IMPORTANT like keeping your heart, brain, lungs and kidneys protected and working as best they can under the circumstances. ❤🧠
Hair is an "accessory", we don't need it to survive. (although we do love our hair!)😯
So, if you're experiencing hair loss, heed the message from your body! It needs assistance! 🆘
I'm happy to help!

I had a lot of inquiries about how to fix adrenal fatigue after yesterday's post! 🗣️
I HIGHLY recommend testing so you aren't guessing. It can get a little frustrating and costly otherwise. 💯
With that being said, here's a list of the more common ways to get your adrenal glands more balanced. ✅
Not every suggestion will work for every person. (hence the reason for testing 😊)
Start with what makes sense to you. 🫵
If you have questions or you're just not sure what to do, I have several options to discover what your unique needs are! ✂️✋💻💩💧🩸

Adrenal fatigue is a very REAL situation. It's like the new plague. 🥴
It affects nearly everyone. I even see adrenal fatigue in small children! 👧
What's at the root of it? 🔍
Stress, in its many forms. Stress can come from people, places, situations outside of us (like work, difficult relationships, money worries, environmental pollutants etc.) and stress can come from INSIDE of us. (associated with inflammation due to the external stresses) The inside stress may be difficult to recognize. 🧐
Sources of stress from inside include:
Imbalanced minerals (which is a result of chronic stress) ✨
Inadequate healthy bacteria in the gut (probiotics) 💩
Dehydration/lack of water intake 💧
Poor bowel movements 💩
Nutritional deficiencies (which comes about from any type of stress) ⬇
Constant worry 😧
Poor sleep 🫩
While the thyroid gets the blame for most of the listed signs of adrenal fatigue, I look to the adrenals first. (the thyroid donates needed energy to the adrenals)
Several key nutritional needs for adrenal support:
High quality vitamin C 🍊🍋🍓
High quality methylated B -complex
Nutritional salt ✨
Magnesium ✨
Potassium ✨
High quality 5% Progesterone cream (plant based) 🍠🌱
Adrenal fatigue/adrenal dominance ALWAYS requires more minerals and digestive support! 💯
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms you may want to invest in a hair tissue mineral analysis to discover what your unique mineral needs are! ✂️
To directly test stress and s*x hormones I offer a saliva test too! 💧

Here are a couple more non-negotiables for the body:
Your kidneys require potassium 🍊
Your kidneys, heart, blood vessels, brain and muscles require sodium. (Yes, sodium is REQUIRED by your body for many functions!) 🧂
Ideally we get these requirements from food, but as you know, most of our food supply is very deficient with these vital nutrients. ⬇️
How do you know if you have enough of these vitals AND your body is using them appropriately? 🤔
You guessed it!
A Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis shows exactly which nutrients you're deficient in, which nutrients aren't getting into cells, how your digestion is working (the system that delivers the nutrients to your cells) and SO much more! ✂
So, if you're feeling fatigued/run down, puffy, chubby, weak, poor muscle tone, moody, achy, low libido, hair falling out, constipated, unmotivated, depressed, insomnia, etc. a deficiency, or too much of any of these could be the culprit! 💯
Reach out for your HTMA kit!

What do you think of AI (artificial intelligence)?
I personally don't trust it so I don't use it.
Would you feel safe receiving AI guidance for your health concerns?

Aluminum (and other heavy metals) is an ever-growing burden to human health.
The chemtrails left behind from weather manipulation techniques is only one way we acquire aluminum. 🌧️
Canned foods and drinks, cheeses, cake mixes, pickled foods, medications, our water supply, pesticides and even make-up and other personal care products contain it. In other words, we can't escape it. 🫤
As pictured, heavy metals lower our cellular vibration making higher mineral intake necessary. (lower frequencies include 5G) 📡
Signs you may have excess aluminum or other heavy metals: 🆘
Medically "diagnosed" anemia or low iron
Confusion/brain fog
Weakened bones/fractures
Muscle fatigue/weakness
Difficulty with sleep
Shortness of breath
Liver congestion
Kidney trouble
Digestive problems
Headaches
Aluminum affects every organ of your body but has a special preference for the brain. 🧠
Aluminum and other heavy metals BLOCK minerals from getting to your organs and cells. Calcium and iron are affected by aluminum.
A Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can show which heavy metals your body is burdened with and which minerals aren't getting to the organs and glands where they're needed.
How do you help es**rt aluminum OUT of your body?
There are a number of ways to assist in the reduction of aluminum.
Near infrared sauna 🔥
Ionic foot detox 👣
Frequency healing devices ✨
Drinking cilantro tea or tincture 🌿
Chlorella 🌊
Activated charcoal
EDTA suppositories
Restoring appropriate minerals and enzymes unique to your needs is HIGHLY recommended for your best results. 🎯

Sad, but true. 😓
If our soils are so depleted of these vital minerals, what do you think our food provides? 🤔🌱🌿🍎🍊🍉🍇🥑🥦🌶🥕🧄🐄🐔
Even organic farms have nutritionally depleted soil (although they are working hard to bring it back to life!)
If you're not eating strictly organic, (and even if you are) you're consuming foods that are low in vital minerals. ⬇
This includes grass fed/pastured meats. What do you think they're eating? Yep, mineral deficient grasses. 🌱
Low minerals = low vitality/low frequency/low energy/slow metabolism 🥴
So, what's the solution (besides amending your own soil and growing your own food)❓
While supplementing with a mineral formula sounds like a great idea, 💡you may do yourself more harm than good.
Getting TOO much of something you DON'T need creates toxicity, causes stress, uses unnecessary energy to correct and creates a vicious cycle of imbalance. 🥴
On the flip side, not getting enough of something you DO need, creates weakness and forces your body to tap into your reserves. (Bones, teeth, hair growth, muscles)😖
By now, you know I'll suggest a hair mineral analysis so you can know EXACTLY what your body needs.
HTMA shows: 🧐
exposure to heavy metals (causes weight gain, slow metabolism, fatigue) 👍
mineral status (diabetes, cardio troubles, slow metabolism, fatigue, pain, muscle integrity, brain power, immune health, digestion)
stress levels in the body (hormone imbalances, weight, energy)
diet and lifestyle suggestions (which foods are right for you. Which exercise is right for you)
specific supplementation if needed.

Enzymes!
Ya gotta have 'em if you want to live! 💯
Enzymes are important for your survival, and for keeping your cellular frequency at optimal levels for your best health. 💪
Every muscle, ever fiber, every tendon, every cell in your body has specific enzymes associated with it. Even when you get sick or have a health event like a heart attack, enzymes are produced. (A medical doctor will look for specific enzymes in blood to determine if you've had a heart attack) ❤️
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. They're necessary for digestion, liver function, muscle activity, kidneys, blood, brain health and more! Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems. 🥴
Symptoms of too little enzyme activity can result in ALL manner of health conditions. You name it, and enzyme deficiency is involved. 🤧
Do you know what's needed in order to MAKE enzymes? If you guessed "MINERALS" you're correct! 🎯
If you aren't acquiring enzymes by eating lightly cooked foods, eventually your body will tap into enzymes that assist other functions like your heart, liver, lungs etc.
Supplementing with a high quality plant enzyme formula for digestion can be a great idea for most of us. 🌱🌿🍃 ( I even see very young children who need enzymes)
A simple online questionnaire will show me what enzymes your body specifically needs for your best health. 💻
If you'd like to work with me to discover what your unique needs are, please reach out! ☎️

Say yes to protein!
So much confusion surrounds this vital part of our diets. 🤔
One of the 3 MACRO-nutrients, protein is needed for all of our organs and tissues. 3️⃣
What does protein do?
Muscle building and repair 💪
Tissue maintenance 💪
EVERY cell in the body contains protein, which is used to maintain and replace existing tissues.
Hormone production (adequate healthy fats are also needed for the hormone system) 💪
Immune system support 💪
Blood sugar regulation 💪
Appetite control 💪
Bone health 💪
Brain function 💪
Maintain ideal weight 💪
Trouble with protein:
Many of us produce less hCl (hydrochloric acid) after the age of 20.
When this happens, we are unable to digest protein adequately. This means undigested proteins ferment in the gut and convert to sugar. Guess what happens? Inflammation. 🔥
Increased blood sugar ⬆️
Bloating 🎈
Gas ♨️
Weight gain ⬆️
The type of protein you consume is important too! 🥩🍗🥛
I recently discovered I do better with chicken, turkey and fish, while my husband thrives with beef! Eating the wrong type of protein for your metabolic type (metabolism/how fast your body uses your food for energy) creates inflammation and more stress on your body. 🔥
A person who weighs 160 pounds would need about 12 to 14 ounces of protein daily. (Take weight in kilograms and multiply by 1.5) 🍽️
Eating the right type of protein AND using the appropriate enzymes will ensure your body gets just what it needs! 💯
