Embracing Transformation : A Journey to Sustainable Health
Hello, my friends! As I write this, we're graced with a Super Full Moon in Taurus, a time that invites us to reflect on the grounded energy of fall. The temperatures are dropping, leaves are carpeting the ground, and there's a cozy essence of home that's nestled deep within my soul. I've been delighting in preparing hearty meals that warm both body and spirit, and it feels like the perfect moment to share some insights about the transformative journeys of those I work with—individuals seeking a more sustainable and compassionate approach to their health.
The Power of Mineral Balancing
Many of my clients have recently discovered the wisdom of mineral balancing, piecing together the missing elements in their health puzzle. They’re moving beyond simply treating...

In recent years, we’ve learned so much about the microbiome and its impact on overall health. Our understanding of gut health has evolved dramatically, and with it, our approach to healing the gut. But what does it really mean to heal your gut? The answer lies in one simple truth: healing your gut means rebuilding your microbiome.
Microbes Matter More Than You Think
Our relationship with food and gut health has never been static. The way we eat and how food is produced has always evolved, driven by environmental changes, resources, and our ever-expanding understanding of what true health looks like. Yet, as humans, we cling to familiar patterns—especially when it comes to our health. We tend to defend our habits and resist change, even when they no longer serve us.
In the realm of gut health, this resistance often shows up in the form...
Talking Microbes: The impacts of low butyrate function

As you know I believe minerals run the show of the human body, even the microbes in your gut rely on mineral balance. Minerals & Microbes are foundational elements every one of us needs to thrive. In this episode I want to hone in on one aspect of gut health that I see as a key anyone can focus on improving to also benefit their whole health.

When the gut microbiome is running low in its keystone species this impacts systemic functionality as well. 
For example; one function I see low on all of my clients BiomeFX stool sample results is low butyrate function. It’s one of many BUT here’s why even this one function alone in the low range can impact many things.
What is butyrate?
Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that provides fuel for the...
PODCAST: The demonization of dairy, is so very unnecessary
In this episode, I shared a quick eagle's eye view on dairy and how we got to a time in history where we demonize it. I truly believe dairy is a power food. And, if you can tolerate it currently you should not remove it just because some 'expert' said it's bad for x,y,z reasons or health 'conditions'.

A health 'condition' does not have to be a state of permanence or something we own anyway. I share 3 keys to consider when it comes to dairy: 1. the quality of the dairy, 2. your heredity/ancestry, 3. your current state of health.
Why remove an entire food group if you don't have to. Elimination doesn't heal you, nutrition does. Renourishing the body and restoring function takes time, therefore patience.
Two of my favorite resources to start getting education about quality dairy, as well as the benefits of...
PODCAST: The dark side of antibiotics
In this episode, I talk about how antibiotics have never been tested safe for the human microbiome. They are also one of the most toxic classes of drugs and doctors hand them out like candy.
It's time to be HONEST about this excess overuse of antibiotics, so we can make educated decisions and create a better path to support our health.

I'm very passionate about this after seeing hundreds of clients health harmed in the long run in part by excess use of antibiotics over the course of their lives.
We can do better. In fact, we must.
Antibiotics are a class of medications that can save lives (when used appropriately). However, antibiotics are extremely overprescribed and most are quite toxic.
They should be used as a last resort, not the first. Very often, simple, inexpensive natural methods of healing infections work...
