What's "going on" in our world these days is creating a LOT of unhealthy stress conditions for many. 🫨
Anxiety, insomnia, aches and pains, loss of appetite, weight gain, headaches...just a few signs you might be succumbing to the constant "fear" chatter. 😳
In times of stress, our digestion slows to accommodate the fight or flight response. Will we run or will we fight? Energy gets diverted to the limbs. 🏃
On top of that, our nutrient needs become greater in order to support the fight or flight response. 🍎🥑🥦
This creates a dilemma! How can we get nutrients in when our digestion is slowed?
The first thing to do is relax. What helps you feel calm? Do more of that. 😌
Consider taking the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis to discover exactly what minerals your body needs to calm the fight/flight response.
Consider the online Digestive Questionnaire to support your enzyme needs.
Extra nutrients needed in times of stress include, magnesium, the b-complex vitamins, zinc, potassium and vitamin C. These may not be suitable for everyone. Test to know for sure! 💯
Next, turn off the doom and gloom chatterbox and live your life with joy!❤️

Arrrrgghhhh!!!!!! Reading that and your head is spinning???? You aren't alone! 😮
There is SO much information (most of it is conflicting) AND now we have AI generated postings on top of it! ✔
How to know what's right for YOU? 🤔
There are multiple ways to find out what foods and nutrients are right for your INDIVDUAL body. 💯
Muscle testing, blood testing, energy testing, elimination diets, guessing....😟
The many ways to find out equal the many conflicting statements! 💯
I use Zyto technology with a software program unique to my office to discover what your specific and individual needs are. This technology measures your energy from the meridian pathways and shows us where imbalances are happening. Each of your organs has specific nutritional needs to function appropriately. 🤚
I also offer several lab options:
Saliva testing for hormones (stress hormones are the #1 cause of all health issues)💧
GI MAP shows us the imbalances of the entire digestive tract (always a result of stress)💩
Metabolic Typing shows us what fuel is BEST for your body (protein, fats, carbohydrates or a particular ratio of each and which particular foods are best)📋
An online Digestive Questionnaire can get you started with your unique enzyme needs. ( The GI MAP goes deeper into that.💻
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis shows us your mineral imbalances, hormone balance, mood tendencies, weight tendencies, detoxification ability and more.✂
All are done remotely/virtually with consultations included.🖥️☎️
You are individual, shouldn't your nutrient intake match what YOU need? 💯

Enzymes are produced naturally in the human body and are essential for life. 💫
They are specialized proteins generated by organs like the pancreas, stomach, and salivary glands and speed up vital chemical reactions like digestion, metabolism and cellular repair. Without them, these crucial biological processes would not occur. 🚫
People become deficient due to aging, illnesses like pancreatitis, Crohn's and diets high in processed foods. 🥯🥨🥞🌭
I see a lot of folks who are VERY sensitive to carbohydrates and starches. This is because they aren't making enough Amylase to properly break them down. This causes loose stool/diarrhea, and weight gain. ✔
People that don't have gallbladders OR women over 40 have trouble digesting much needed fat because they don't have enough of the enzyme called Lipase. This creates hormone imbalances, dry everything and fatty stools. ✔
Lastly, Protease breaks down protein into amino acids which are crucial for muscle repair, hair growth. Lacking stomach hydrochloric acid and protease will cause allergies, bloating, gas and other intestinal issues. ✔
A simple online questionnaire can provide answers to your unique enzyme needs. 💻
More advanced testing would include Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (minerals are needed for enzyme activity) ✂️and/or a GI MAP. 💩
GI MAP analyzes the gut microbiome to detect parasites, bacteria (including H. pylori), viruses, and fungi. It evaluates digestive function, nutrient absorption, immune health, and inflammation markers to help identify causes of chronic GI symptoms, such as bloating, diarrhea, and pain.
In today's world we can all use some assistance with healing our digestive systems. Start with enzymes! 💯

Not to mention, plant protein is ALWAYS derived from peas and/or soybeans, BOTH of which are genetically modified and typically sprayed with Round-Up. 🤢
They promote inflammation, estrogen dominance, weight gain, and mood imbalances. 🔥🔥🔥
Can't stand the thought of eating meat?
1. You probably don't have adequate amounts of stomach acid to digest it. Your body will naturally develop aversions to foods you can't digest. 😖
2. There are other non-plant sources of protein to consider:
Eggs 🥚
Fish 🐟
Chicken 🐔
Turkey 🦃
Venison 🦌
3. Grass fed, pasture raised meat is suggested at least 3 times a week for your best health. 🦬
If you feel you must use a protein powder, consider bone broth powder, or whey protein and be SURE they are non gmo! ✔️

By the time we reach our 60's, 70's or even our 80's, we might think that feeling fabulous isn't an option anymore. ☹️
I'm here to tell you that isn't true! 😊
Knowing what your "vital voids" are and refilling them is what it takes. 💯
Each of us is unique in our life experiences, exposures (good and not so good), daily stresses, and beliefs. ✔️
Each of us has our unique vital voids (missing parts or unbalanced functions) therefore, what will work for one of us, won't work for the other. 💯
Fortunately there are several methods of testing to discover what your vital voids are. 👍
Zyto Biocommunication ✋
GI MAP 💩
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis ✂️
Online Digestive Questionnaire 💻
Saliva Hormone Testing 💧
Metabolic Typing 🤩
And there are non-medical options for you to correct and restore so you can feel fabulous!
Are you ready? ☺️

Do you know what your macronutrient needs are? 🤔
There is an intricate relationship with proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (macronutrients) and your health and metabolism. (how fast you use your food for fuel) 🧐
Macronutrients and the proper ratios for YOU impact everything! Digestion, energy levels, mood, reproduction capability, metabolism. 💯
Protein: 🐄🦌🐓🦃🥚
Proteins are the building blocks for the body. Proper digestion is critical to ensure the availability of amino acids for many functions. Protein promotes muscle mass, hormonal balance and satiety. The older we get, the more we need. 💪
Fats: 🧈🥚🥛
Fats are critical for the production of ALL hormones, brain health and youthful skin. Adequate fat digestion and absorption is necessary to support production of s*x hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone) and adrenal hormones (cortisol, adrenaline, aldosterone). Fat is your friend! 🥰
Every cell is surrounded by a type of protective fat.
Carbohydrates 🍠🫜🥕🥦🍎
Carbohydrates are vital for energy regulation and insulin production. Balanced carbohydrate intake is essential for maintaining stable blood sugar levels and balanced energy. ⚖️
Digestive health is critical for nutrient absorption and distribution. 🧽
Protein or fat malabsorption inevitably leads to nutrient deficiencies.
Low stomach acid and/or enzyme deficiencies hinder digestion and absorption.
Inadequate digestion results in the accumulation of undigested food, which eventually become toxic. ☠️This leads to inflammation, a stress response and a negative feedback loop of hormonal imbalances. ⭕️This causes fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, low motivation, poor sleep etc. 😢
Be SURE you're eating right for your metabolic type and correct your digestive weaknesses. 💯
Need help? Don't guess when you can test! ✔️

Has anyone else experienced this situation? 🖐️
Not just for thyroid health but other conditions that go unacknowledged because "your labs look great"? 🙃
I sure did, and it's what launched me in to natural health! 🚀
Do you know how the lab ranges and values came to be? 🤔
"Blood test reference ranges are established by testing groups of HEALTHY individuals and determining the central 95% of results, typically excluding the top and bottom 2.5%. These ranges are often created by labs for specific populations (based on age/s*x) or derived from manufacturer data, providing a statistical baseline for comparing individual results". 🤔
You read that right.
Medical doctors are NOT trained in addressing YOUR root cause. They are trained to prescribe man made chemicals to shut you and your symptoms up. 🤐🤡
If you want REAL answers and solutions, seek out a naturopathic doctor. 💯
P.S. TSH should be 0.5-1.5
But your thyroid REALLY relies on healthy liver function to create T4.
AND other conversions need to happen with T3 and T4.
Your doctor isn't looking at the whole picture.🖼📄

This is always a good post to re-share.
I must preempt this post with a disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor, I don't diagnose, treat or cure anything. Only your medical doctor can do that. 🤡
Now, on to the post.
Colloidal silver has historically and successfully been used for a variety of symptoms, and is still in use today. 💯
Of course, if you "google" you'll find the story of the "blue man". 🔵
Keep in mind (this info is buried) he was using inferior silver that he made himself. He drank copious amounts of the inferior silver to purposefully turn his skin blue and gained a lot of attention for doing so. He later admitted what he did but, sadly, his choices ruined the excellent reputation that silver had up until that point. 😥
The discovery of silver as a support for the various conditions is quite interesting. It was discovered by accident during the bubonic plague. ☠️
It is said that the wealthy folks who had silver eating utensils survived the plague whilst the less fortunate who had wooden eating utensils didn't fare so well. It was thought that the heat from the food released silver particles into the food and mouths of those using the silver utensils. 🍴
My all time favorite silver is Smart Silver by DesBio. I've used this for the past 15 years for all kinds of maladies. You can get it here:
https://dbscript.com/?invite=JJohnson
A little bit goes a long way! Safe to use for all ages and for all troubles. 💯
I've used it in my eyes, ears, nose, mouth, topically, internally, in a nebulizer, with my animals. 👀👂👃👅🤲🫁🐕‍🦺🐈‍⬛🐓
Remember, I'm not a medical doctor! This is for entertainment purposes only! 😂

The word "stress" is a very broad and vague term in my very humble opinion BUT it affects every single area of the mind, body and spirit. 🥺
Stress is a body or mind response to internal or external pressures, challenges, or threats that exceed an individual’s coping ability. 💯
We often think of stress as being an emotional response like feelings of overwhelm, too much to do, and worrying.
The SAME stress response can occur if there's any type of imbalance within the body like inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, toxins, parasites and other organisms. 🐍
Your body doesn't know the difference between mental stress and physical stress... it will respond in the same way.
Stress activates two little glands in your body called the adrenal glands. These glands secrete your fight or flight 🤼‍♀️✈️hormones that keep you in a state of hyper-vigilance. 😳
While this situation is ok for short periods of time (as in a sudden shocking event,) it's not meant for us to be in this state for the long term.
Over time, this greatly impairs digestion, depletes minerals, lowers your immune system, speeds up aging, and reduces your ability to handle every day situations. Molehills become mountains. ⛰
Nearly every client I work with is in a chronic state of fight or flight. 💯
Test. Replenish. Restore.
Are you experiencing any of these signs? ⚠️
It might be time to address your stress! ✔️
