• Holistic Healthcare | Why you don't want to compartmentalize your health
    Nov 18 2024

    In today's episode, we're talking about how our body is one whole being with multiple interacting systems and billions of cells all working together enabling us to function at our highest capacity.

    This is why it's important to use a holistic lens when deciding on a treatment plan. Beyond the physical systems present, we also have the mind and spirit which are also directly and fully integrated into our body.

    Are you compartmentalizing aspects of your being which could be keeping you from experiencing the life, energy, vigor your body is capable of?

  • Iron Deficiency and IBD (inflammatory bowel disease)
    Nov 11 2024

    In today's episode, I'm talking about the connection between iron deficiency and inflammatory bowel disease for a multitude of reasons. Excess iron is often thought of as this inflammatory irritant, which is true, but the opposite can also be problematic.

  • Top 4 Supplements to Take Daily
    Nov 4 2024

    In today's episode, we're talking about 4 supplements that I believe most people will find effective in helping them maximize their life performance.

    The most common nutrient deficiencies I see on bloodwork are vitamin D, B12 and iron. For people who are low in these 3 nutrients, rarely do I find dietary adjustments alone to be enough to increase nutrients to a meaningful level.

    This doesn’t mean we don’t adjust our food routine to maximize nourishment, but it does mean that if your B12 is 200, it is not going to increase to levels of 800-1000 by eating more red meat.

  • How to Lower Blood Pressure Naturally
    Oct 28 2024

    In today's episode, we're talking about some natural measures we can take to lower blood pressure.

    Hypertension or excessively high blood pressure increases the risk of heart, brain and kidney disease, strokes, and heart attacks.

    On top of that, being on blood pressure medication often leads to fatigue, blood sugar issues, weight gain, decreased motivation and overall life performance.

    Essentially, the side effect profile of the medications, predisposes people to the very diseases they are trying to avoid.

    That's why we want to take every opportunity we can to improve blood pressure parameters without pharmaceutical intervention.

  • Why is soy milk bad?
    Oct 21 2024

    In this episode, I'm talking about why soy milk isn't all that it's promoted to be. In the USA, 94% of soybeans grown are genetically modified.

    The reason for this is so that glyphosate can be sprayed on the field and kill everything, but the soybean plants.

    As soybean production surged, the soy industry looked for new markets to absorb the oversupply.

    Soy milk turned out to be a great way to create demand for soy byproducts, making it a lucrative business opportunity for soy producers.

    A non GMO soybean as eaten heavily throughout Japan does have loads of potential health benefits. However, a soybean is not the same thing as ultra processed soy milk consumed in the United States.

  • How to get rid of migraines (NATURALLY!)
    Oct 14 2024

    In today's episode, we're talking about migraines. A migraine is your body screaming for help. Turning off the signal without helping the underlying process that is promoting the dysfunction is not a recipe for long term health.

    Lifestyle can and does cure migraines.

    Today, we're talking about 7 reasons why you may be getting migraines and what to do about them.

    1. Consider eating a diet of near 100% digestible foods.

    2. Hydrate!!!

    3. Utilize agents and breathing routines that support a parasympathetic dominant state. You can check out previous videos where I discuss specifics on breathing and herbal adaptogens.

    🎥 Mouth Breathing Affects Breath, Cognitive Function, Facial Development, Energy & More!

    🎥 Breathing for High Potency Health

    4. Work on your posture. 5. Check your home for mold issues.

    🎥 Mold Toxicity

    6. Look at your hormone balance especially estrogen and progesterone. 7. Consider iron, B12, folate, omega-3 to 6 ratio, vitamin D, RBC, magnesium, all these can easily be tested via blood.

    🎥 Low B12 Symptoms (and the lab tests to run)

    Also, not as easily tested via blood, but if you are doing all the lifestyle stuff consider looking into vitamin B2 (riboflavin), butterbur extract (herb), CoQ10, and melatonin therapy.

  • Nutrition For Young Athletes | What to feed kids to maximize their performance and health
    Oct 7 2024

    In today's episode, we're talking about how to keep your child "in the game".

    Most kids are consuming licorice, pizza pockets, school lunches, Gatorade, Prime energy drinks, Muscle Milk and Premier protein drinks.

    If you want your child to have the strongest bones, the best reaction time, the quickest first step, to possess calm in the midst of chaos, you have to fuel them nutrient dense food rather than food-like substances that are stripping them of resources with each bite.

    Let's talk about what to feed kids to maximize their performance and overall health.

  • Natural Remedies for Cold Sores
    Sep 30 2024

    In today's episode I share how to prevent and get rid of a cold sore.

    HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex virus-1) is transmitted via saliva - think sharing drinks, lipstick, utensils, and kissing. I hear some people even share toothbrushes.😱

    Once inside, the virus targets skin cells near the site of entry, where it starts replicating.

    After initial replication, it travels through sensory nerve fibers to the trigeminal ganglion (a nerve cluster near the brain) where it remains dormant. For many the virus gets held in ganglion jail and stays there and never becomes symptomatic.

    For others, the painful cold sores or fever blisters form on the lips at the most inopportune times.
