I’ll never forget the moment my midwife first mentioned CBD to me. I was six months pregnant, eagerly anticipating the arrival of my fourth baby, but I couldn’t shake the anxiety about the postpartum period. My previous experiences had been marked by intense hormone swings, mood shifts, and an overwhelming sense of being lost in a fog. I was already grieving the time I knew I would miss with my th...

The title of this episode is You Will Never Fully Heal if You Don’t Do This. Any guesses? Let me give you a hint: It has nothing to do with what you eat, the supplements you take, or even your genetics. It’s not about the possible mold in your home or the level of stress in your life. So, what is it? It’s something far more subtle yet incredibly powerful - your mindset . The way you think and what...

When you or your child experience persistent symptoms - whether it’s digestive discomfort, skin issues, mood swings, or chronic fatigue - you might not immediately connect these issues to your gut.

I took my son to every kind of healthcare professional. Over a two-and-a-half-year period, we spent over $20,000 trying to figure out what was causing his symptoms and how to heal his body. We tried every herbal remedy. We went to an Ayurvedic doctor. We went to a functional medicine doctor. We did a six-month tele-health program with a nutritionist. We did allergy testing. We tried every eliminat...

But the one thing everyone has in common is the questions...

Bloating is a common and uncomfortable sensation that many people experience. We all know that feeling when your stomach is swollen, tight, and full of gas. And while occasional bloating can be a normal response to certain foods or hormone fluctuations, chronic bloating indicates a deeper issue - an imbalance in your gut microbiome. If you’ve been around for a while or have a basic understanding o...

Have you ever been around someone whose energy is so vibrant and radiant that they seem to be glowing and living on a different wavelength? You find yourself wondering how they do it. Maybe you know this person a little more intimately and notice that life always seems to fall into place for them, from always getting that cosmic parking spot right up front at the grocery store to having their fami...

Rebalancing your gut is a life changing experience but it's important to know that sometimes symptoms get worse before they get better. For some people, healing can look like a few steps back before moving forward. It can sometimes bring about uncomfortable symptoms that may seem counterproductive. This is known as die-off, or a Herxheimer reaction. While it might feel discouraging, it's...

Rebalancing your gut while pregnant and breastfeeding is a topic that tends to be quite controversial.

I remember when my son was covered head to toe in the most itchy red rash. He was just a few weeks old and would scratch himself so badly that he would be dripping in blood if I looked away for even a minute. Even though I had put those little mittens on him.

Everyone knows that mold isn’t good. But there is an important part that no one’s talking about. Mold exposure is often associated with respiratory issues and allergies. But there is a missing link here. Mold doesn’t just bam, cause allergies and skin rashes. No. Something happens inside the body when you are exposed to mold.  This something causes inflammation and disrupts the communication withi...

Food and environmental allergies are at an all time high. We all know someone who suffers from severe allergies. Maybe you do? Or maybe your child?

Did you know that while in utero, a babies gut is sterile? They don’t have good bacteria or bad bacteria. During birth, they are exposed to their mother's microbiome when they pass through the vaginal canal. This initial inoculation kickstarts the colonization of the baby's gut with beneficial bacteria, laying the foundation for that child’s immune system and overall health. Unfortunatel...

It’s so easy to measure the healing of visual symptoms like skin rashes, constipation and diarrhea. It gets a lot harder to measure the improvement of your mood, sleep or your children’s behavior. These tend to be symptoms that when they are present they are all consuming but as soon as they go away, you hardly remember how challenging they were. You can’t take pictures or compare side by side. Bu...

There tends to be two types of poopers. People who are more prone to constipation and those who are more prone to diarrhea. Contrary to what your doctor will mostly likely tell you though, the answer isn’t a laxative like Miralax or a fiber supplement. These are bandaids that don’t heal your body. Your body isn’t constipated because it needs a laxative. The body gets constipated when something is...
