Happy New Year! 🎉 As we step into 2026, I’ve been thinking about your health journey. Whether you are currently on track or took a break during the holidays, I am here to help you navigate the year ahead with science-backed nutrition.

Quick January Tip: Did you know that cold weather can mask dehydration? Try adding a pinch of sea salt or electrolytes (no sweetener) to your water to improve electrolyte balance and keep your energy high during these shorter days.

Support Your Natural Detox Pathways: After a season of heavy meals, focus on bitter greens (arugula, kale, dandelion) and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts). These contain sulforaphane, which supports your liver’s Phase II detoxification process.

Prioritize Vitamin D & Zinc: In these colder months, your immune system needs extra support. Pair your Vitamin D with a source of healthy fat to improve absorption, and ensure you’re getting enough zinc from pumpkin seeds, legumes, or lean proteins.

If you are in LA, you need to boos Your immunity Armor and support your lungs:

To help support the body’s natural detoxification and defense systems, some key supplements can aid in reducing inflammation, clearing toxins, and strengthening immune function.

Phospholipids – help Protect and Cellular Integrity. 500mg per day
• Phospholipids, particularly (PC), help maintain lung surfactant, which is crucial for optimal lung function. Smoke exposure depletes these essential lipids, leading to respiratory distress. PC also supports liver detoxification by helping to clear fat-soluble toxins from smoke particles.

N-Acetyl Cysteine ( ) – Lung Detox, Antioxidant Defense. 600 to 900 mg per day
• NAC helps break down lung mucus, facilitating the expelling of smoke particles and pollutants. Also a precursor to glutathione, the most potent antioxidant in the body that neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by smoke exposure. NAC activates Nrf2, a key pathway that enhances the body’s detoxification of harmful compounds.

– Master Detoxifier for Smoke-Related Toxins (L- Glutathione). 1-3 gram per day
• Glutathione plays a vital role in phase II liver , binding to harmful smoke-related chemicals such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and VOCs, aiding the body to excrete them. Glutathione also protects lung tissue from oxidative damage, reducing inflammation and preserving respiratory health.

Beta-Glucans – System Support & Anti-Inflammatory Effects
• Wildfire smoke weakens the immune system by triggering widespread inflammation. Beta-glucans stimulate macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells, essential for clearing inhaled toxins and pathogens. Beta-glucans also modulate the immune response, preventing excessive lung inflammation and promoting recovery. Beta-glucans are present in mushrooms. I recommend 5-Defenders by

Maryland’s secretary of health is trying to halt a landmark ketogenic diet study for Schizophrenia. There is NO health or safety concern (just red tape!). It is important to overturn this harmful decision and keep the study going.

It has been 12 years since professional life took a drastic turn. It was never in my plans to be where I am today, but here I am.
A wise man taught me that when we make choices, we must strive to be the best we can be. I took that as a guiding light.
I thought I would touch people's lives with art, but instead, I am now changing their health trajectory.
It has been ten hard years of studying, sacrifices not only for mine but my family, no social life, and too many rabbit holes of research and homework.
I am finally there. I am where I am supposed to be.
Doctor of Clinical Nutrition!
