Biotoxins are toxic substances produced by mold, bacteria, algae, and other organisms.

When you’re exposed through water-damaged buildings, contaminated food, or tick bites (or other sources!) these toxins can circulate and re-circulate in your body and trigger widespread health problems.

The tricky part? Biotoxin illness doesn’t look the same in everyone.

Some people experience primarily gut symptoms like IBS, chronic diarrhea, or food sensitivities. Others struggle with brain fog, anxiety, and memory issues. Many deal with joint pain, chronic fatigue, or respiratory problems. And often, it’s a combination of symptoms across multiple systems.

This is why biotoxin illness gets missed so often. Most doctors treat each symptom separately. One medication for your gut. Another for anxiety. Something else for the joint pain. But none of that addresses WHY you’re sick in the first place.

When we identify biotoxins as the root cause, we can stop chasing symptoms and start actually healing. We support your body’s natural detoxification pathways, reduce your toxic burden, and give your systems the tools they need to function properly again.

That’s what root cause medicine looks like. We don’t just manage symptoms. We find out what’s broken and we fix it. We help you…HEAL.

Looking back at 2025, and honestly? I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.

The moments that mattered most weren’t the bestseller books or news stories.

They were the messages from people finally getting answers. The light bulb moments when someone realized their symptoms aren’t in their head. The collective exhale in our community when someone shares their breakthrough. YOU telling me you are finally healing.

To the over 100,000 of you in this community: thank you for trusting me with your health journey. For showing up even when healing feels hard. For believing that your body deserves better than being gaslit by conventional medicine.

Here’s what I’m most proud of from 2025: proving that when we address the root cause (mold, gut dysfunction, environmental toxins), real healing happens. Not symptom management. Not band-aids. Actual recovery.

Bring on 2026.

There are more people to help, more root causes to uncover, and more proof that your symptoms were never all in your head. 💙

What was your biggest win this year?

Comment WINTER below and I’ll send you my complete winter immune support and detox guide.

NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) is one of my go-to supplements during cold and flu season, and here’s why.

NAC is a precursor to glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant. It helps thin mucus in your respiratory tract, making it easier to clear congestion. It also supports your immune system by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

When you’re fighting off a virus, NAC can help break up that thick mucus that makes you feel miserable, support your body’s natural detox processes, and give your immune system the boost it needs to recover faster.

I keep this on hand year-round, but especially during winter when everyone around me seems to be getting sick.

Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season!

If you’ve been on the diet roller coaster for years with nothing to show for it... this one’s for you.

I’ve seen this pattern plenty of times before. Someone comes in frustrated because they’ve done everything “right”... they’re eating clean, exercising consistently, taking supplements they saw a random influencer recommend… and nothing changes. Or worse, they lose a few pounds and gain it all back plus more.

Here’s the thing: when your body is overloaded with toxins like mold, it triggers a cascade of dysfunction. Your hormones get thrown off balance. Your thyroid slows down. Your metabolism crashes. Your body holds onto weight as a protective mechanism because it’s literally trying to survive.

I’m NOT saying you shouldn’t exercise and eat well. These are pillars to health, of course! But I’m saying that if toxic exposure is the root cause, those foundational habits alone won’t get you the results you’re working so hard for. Your body physically cannot respond the way you want it to when it’s fighting a toxic burden.

This isn’t about lack of discipline. This isn’t about trying harder. This is about getting to the actual underlying problem.

So before you commit to another plan that’s going to leave you feeling defeated in February... consider getting tested with me. Let’s find out if environmental toxins are sabotaging your efforts.

You deserve answers, not another year of blaming yourself.

GIFTS that would be on my wishlist if I didn’t already own them 🎁

Every single one of these items has earned a permanent spot in my routine. These aren’t just trendy wellness products I’m recommending... these are the things I actually use and would panic-buy if they ever got discontinued.

From my grounding mat to my EC3 candles, to my beloved glass pour over coffee maker (because no plastic touching my coffee, thank you very much)... each of these has made a real difference in how I feel. And you watch my stories, you know I use my every day!

If you’re shopping for someone you care about (or treating yourself this season), consider one of these to show how much you truly care.

And when you become the favorite friend at the white elephant, don’t say I didn’t warn you. 😏

Grinding your teeth at night? Waking up with jaw pain or TMJ issues? Your dentist has probably diagnosed the TMJ and maybe given you a mouth guard. But the real question is: WHY are you grinding your teeth in the first place?

I see this symptom come up again and again with my clients. Teeth grinding isn’t always about stress. Sometimes it’s parasites. And sometimes it’s your body’s physical response to living in a constant state of inflammation and nervous system dysregulation caused by mold toxicity.

When mycotoxins from mold exposure infiltrate your system, they trigger a cascade of responses that keep your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight mode. Your body literally cannot relax, even when you’re trying to sleep. This chronic state of survival mode creates muscle tension throughout your entire body, including your jaw muscles, which manifests as grinding, clenching, and TMJ pain.

Mold toxicity also disrupts your sleep architecture. You’re not getting into deep, restorative sleep phases because your body is too busy dealing with inflammation and detoxification. Poor sleep quality is one of the biggest triggers for teeth grinding. Mycotoxins directly impact your brain chemistry, which triggers anxiety and mood dysregulation that further contributes to jaw tension.

Your dentist might recommend a mouth guard, and yes, that protects your teeth from damage. But it doesn’t address WHY your jaw is clenching in the first place. Stress management techniques like meditation and deep breathing can help, but if there’s an underlying toxic burden from mold, your body can’t fully calm down no matter how many breathing exercises you do.

If mold is the root cause, you need two things: remove the source of exposure AND support your body’s natural detoxification pathways. You can’t heal in the same environment that’s making you sick.

If you’re dealing with unexplained teeth grinding, jaw pain, TMJ issues, or any combination of mysterious symptoms that don’t add up, let’s dig deeper into what your body is trying to tell you.
