PODCAST: Mineral Balancing for Blood Pressure
In this episode, I chat about the many moving parts behind high blood pressure and how medication will never correct the underlying imbalance. The problem with a medication only approach is because the imbalances affect more than just one function.

Minerals are KEY in regulating blood pressure. Today we have so many mineral deficiencies or excesses that impact our physiology and they need to be looked at together. This is how we avoid ISOLATIONISTIC thinking that leads to adding bandaids on top of bandaids and never ever correcting function.
I share trends/patterns and imbalances I see in my practice working with HTMA that correlate with blood pressure. Unfortunately, high blood pressure is not assessed thoroughly in the allopathic world.
I like to solve the biochemistry problem versus thinking we are 'solving' the problem with a...
PODCAST: Health Insurance does not ensure true health
In this episode, I share why I don't believe our 'health care' system inspires true health and why I don't take health insurance and how that's a VERY GOOD THING.
You see, we've got a lot to think deeply about when it comes to the current system in our country; is it truly in favor of humans thriving or has it perpetuated a lack of trust in our own sovereignty and ability to heal ourselves.
Ultimately, I think we need to question this heavily right now if we want to truly gain health or recover our health AND KEEP IT. Is health insurance, ensuring true health? Or are we losing sight of our own responsibility in creating optimal health and well being.

PODCAST: Are your kids in burnout too?
In this episode, I shared about kids in burnout so more mommas can be better equipped. Even if you are a mom in burnout with kids in burnout, you can set a good example for your kiddos and help them recover too. I shared my story, some signs of burnout, why it's more common than we care to admit and what you can do about it.
Listen to Episode #48: Are Your Kids In Burnout Too? : Find A Joy To Be Me on iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify
Over the years of working with other moms to help their kiddos I've seen a growing trend of burnout through hair tissue mineral analysis. To me this is no longer 'shocking' news. It's where we are at collectively in light of multiple factors. Understanding the big picture of what we are up against when it comes to our health and well being is so important.
Once we understand this we can start to take action. Work to remove the roadblocks (poor nutrition, toxins, clean up our water, stress...) and include more of the building...
How to take a magnesium bath
It's no secret, I'm a big fan of minerals. One of the ways I teach my clients how to remineralize is through topical application. There are a number of ways and reasons to do this.
Magnesium is the first one I recommend anyone get started with. In a recent post, I explained to you how magnesium helps to relax muscles. But it does so much more than that.
Why Use Magnesium Transdermally?
The vast majority (if not everyone) of people today have a magnesium deficiency. Our soil has been depleted for so long, our food is too and most people do not get enough in the diet as it stands. It's also not in our water these days. Not to mention, many things easily deplete our tissue magnesium stores.
Taking oral magnesium supplements is often not enough to restore tissue levels of magnesium since we do not actually assimilate all that is ingested. So we must apply it topically to help rebuild (aka: transdermally).

PODCAST: Funderful with Cathy Eason
Often times we create more stress when we TRY to do a super clinical protocol after diagnosis of an illness. I truly believe burnout can occur from getting way to caught up in extreme healing protocols.
In this podcast episode, I have an amazing in depth conversation with Cathy Eason. A colleague and educator who is also recovering from mold illness. We both realized along the way on our journey that FUN and JOY were key to our recovery.

Health & Wellness Wishes for the New Year
Tomorrow is a brand new year.
A brand new year many of us are hoping brings radical change in light of the year we’ve just had. It feels like a good moment to truly think about your health and well being. If 2020 highlighted anything, it's both.
Symbolically, the New Year is about a fresh start. A clean slate. A blank canvas. A second chance.
I think we all want second chances with something in our lives. As we look back over this past year, there are probably so many things we might wish we could have done differently. Things we were unprepared for, that now with hindsight we wished we had taken more seriously. Things we got totally wrong and could not fix.
Maybe a big health scare, a financial crisis, a loss or heartbreak. Perhaps some are grappling with what is their purpose in life.
And to make it all worse, we may even be feeling guilt or shame about the way things went down in our lives this past year.
We may see our part and wish we could have done it...
Thoughts on finding the 'root cause' of burnout
There is not just ONE root cause
When it comes to burnout
If burnout had just one root
It wouldn’t be so powerful in taking you down in the first place
It would be easy to find and focus on and uproot
However...
Burnout has multiple roots
Some SO deep and thick and strong
With others all tangled up in the mix
When someone says you need to find "THE" root cause
You may feel misled
I mean, sometimes “A” root of the cause is responsible for multiple offshoots
Rooting out 'the cause' is even more exhausting
Because there’s never just one
And no, there's no bandaids, quick fixes or overnight cures either
Once you come to terms with this, you'll relax more into a new way of life
A way of life that is FOR you
No longer in denial of your truest deepest needs
So to my burned out friends
Stay steady
Focus on the terrain of your life
Inner first, outer second
The environment you live in is everything
Let it be filled with light, energy, joy, nourishment
Increase your healthy...
Why you need to remineralize your body
If anything 2020 has highlighted, it’s that we need to be WAY more resilient as humans.
Both in our physical health, but also our mental health.
Not to mention increase our bandwidth to better deal with stress.
So it can roll like water off a duck’s back, know what I mean?!
Your internal reserves are what give you resilience.
People who struggle with feeling like they are about to collapse if one more life stress comes their way, are usually dealing with deficient inner reserves.
What do I mean?
Well they don’t have the building blocks in place for their body to run
optimally so they can deflect life's stressors like a super power.
Why?
They don’t know they are missing the building blocks for one thing. Next they don't even know what building blocks they need. Additionally, they are burning up what little reserves they have by falling deeper into the rabbit hole known as the modern life.
What are they missing that keeps their reserves in place?
Well, MINERALS for...
