In this episode, I explore two topics that have been circulating in the health arena: the carnivore diet and the use of copper, iron, and aluminum cookware. While these trends may seem enticing, it is crucial to understand the potential risks and consider alternative options.

Ladies, and the men that love the ladies, let’s talk about your LUTEAL PHASE today
I got some good feedback from folks about my episode on minerals and ovulation so I’m back to dig into another phase of our cycle and it just so happens to be the cycle I’m currently hanging out in and wanted to share some insight specifically about this phase with you today.
As a quick reminder
The four phases of a women’s infradian rhythm (aka: monthly cycle) are:...

Okay ladies (and guys this is important to know about your lady) I’ve gotta be honest with you - I’m a little surprised how many women do not know the phases of their cycle. Let’s change this please cause you need to know -it affects you every month in 4 different phases and tuning into your hormones helps you know how to take really good care of yourselves.
The four phases are: menstruation, follicular, ovulation and luteal
Your hormones are completely different in each of these 4 phases.

They tried to silence and suppress her voice
Her curiosity would question
They would stifle
“Shh child stop asking so many questions”
Every time her wild child showed up she was dismissed
She would get sent to school with perfect french braids only to come home looking like she put her finger in a light socket
She could NEVER sit still
She was and is a tsunami in a teacup
A wild voracious force not meant to be sat down, shushed or tamed
The only safe place for her wild to be free was when she got lost in nature or hid out in her room
She’d wander the woods, creeks and climb in the trees
She’d make mud pies and sing to bugs
She’d...
PODCAST: It's all about assimilation

In this episode talk about how you are what you digest and absorb nutrient wise - aka ASSIMILATION because that term is coming up for me holistically speaking on the heels of the sound healing retreat I’ve felt there was a lot to digest, absorb and assimilate. So let’s dig into it because it’s important and comes up in every client I work with -in fact today I just reviewed a BiomeFX with one of my favorite doctors and we talked about digestive inefficiency and how it’s a top priority in any case regardless of the differences in results.
There are several symptoms that lead us to suspect that poor absorption or maldigestion is taking place before the first test is ever even done. These may include bloating, burping, upset stomach, diarrhea, gas, a desire to eat when...

On the heels of a beautiful sound healing retreat weekend and I wanted to share about the experience with you. I’ve used sound in many ways to support my own healing journey and now I recommend it to my clients as well - particularly those who are the most stressed out and have clear nervous system dysregulation causing more intense symptoms (such as anxiety).

In this episode I get into BODY VOLTAGE -what the heck that even is and why it matters.
Healing is voltage my friends - grateful to my friend for sharing Jerry Tenant’s work with me years ago it’s been something I’ve been working on with vigilance to implement in my own life as well as to understand and even start to get others excited about too.
Without electrons, without current, without voltage we are dead so the more charged up the fuller of life we are.

Where did we go wrong with the fats we are primarily consuming in our modern world instead of the nutrient dense fats traditional people groups consumed?
Listen to Episode # 131 : Are your cells made of plastic? : Find - A Joy To Be Me : On - iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify
In this episode I share about I wanted to expound a bit on an aspect of what I shared in my last episode; 130 about my regenerative farm tour and fat soluble vitamins. As well as cover a bit more about why your cells are affected by bad fats. I shared about fat soluble vitamins in the nutrient dense foods I buy from my farmer - foods containin healthy fats. Today I want to provoke you to move towards that with greater fervor by exploring what the bad fats, rancid oils and trans fats have been doing to our health both collectively and individually.
First, did you know that without an adequate amount of GOOD fat, your cell membranes...

I had an EPIC adventure to share with you about my visit with some friends to a farm I’ve been purchasing from for the past 8 years here in PA.
Listen to Episode # 130 : Regenerative Farming Tour & Fat Soluble Vitamins : Find - A Joy To Be Me : On - iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify
In this episode I share about this adventure then talk about one of the biggest benefits these nutrient dense foods I buy give me, my top 3 fave foods from their farm and why as well as share briefly about regenerative farming -which is what we should all be in search of near us and quit shopping at the frickin box stores with fluorescent lights and ‘food like’ products.
The cost to you and your health when you don’t source from farmer’s like Samuel is too great.
Have you ever heard the old adage; you can pay the farmer now or you can pay the doctor later?
You almost can’t put a price...
