LOOKING for a no nasties, NO fluoride toothpaste?

It says no synthetic fillers, BPA free ,no binding agents and the inner core is NOT lined with aluminium, all bonuses yes.

The less chemicals the better, sure.

This option also contains the sought after ingredient hydroxyapatite. What's that you ask ?

Well it's the natural remineralisation substitute for fluoride. A must for tooth enamel and repairing surface scratches on teeth.

All other ingredients are naturally derived

however upon reading the label I still question a couple ingredients.

Phenoxyethanol for example should NOT be in natural toothpaste.

I won't use anything that has Phenoxyethanol in it personally due to its carcinogenic links.

Always READ LABELS before you use as you never know what's hidden.

With love ❤️

🌿 Healing Isn’t Just a Journey, It’s a Homecoming to Self🌿

Whether it's the weight of past relationships, the pressure from work, or the emotional toll of personal growth, childhood trauma, or any other major life event, trauma has a way of embedding itself deep in our bodies.
Healing isn’t just about “moving on, it’s about reconnecting with ourselves, finding safety in our own skin, heart and mind, and gently releasing what no longer serves us.

If you've been feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected, your body may be holding on to unprocessed trauma. Some symptoms may present as per below image.

The good news? You can start to release that energy gently, in ways that feel natural and empowering. 🌟

Here are some simple, effective techniques to support your healing:

✨ Breathing Exercises – Calm your nervous system with deep mindful breath work techniques
🌍 Grounding – Walk barefoot in nature or use the 5-4-3-2-1 technique to root yourself in the now.
💃 Movement & Dance – Shake it out or dance freely to move stuck energy.
🤲 Self-Massage – Gently release tension with massage or myofascial techniques.
🌀 EFT (Tapping) – Tap on meridian points while processing your emotions.
🙌 Hypnotherapy, somatic or kinesiology, for release of trauma layers and release.
🖊️ Journaling – Let your thoughts and feelings flow without judgement.
🎶 Sound Healing – Use music or Sol frequencies to soothe and shift energy.
🧘 Meditation – Try mindfulness or visualization to process and release emotions.
🔥❄️ Hot/Cold Therapy – Use contrast therapy to reset your nervous system.

Healing is not linear, and you don’t have to do it all at once. Start where you are, use what you have, and give yourself the care you deserve. Be kind to yourself.

💬 Have you tried any of these practices? Which one resonates with you most?

Let’s support each other in this journey back to our wholeness. 💛

Root canal discussion!

Root canals are something that come up a lot in root-cause conversations with me a lot and for good reason.

When you look at the body as an interconnected system, the mouth isn’t separate… it’s part of the whole picture.

Each tooth sits within a network of nerves, blood supply, and energetic pathways that many traditions link back to **organ systems. When a tooth is compromised, it’s not always just “local.”

A root canal removes the living tissue inside the tooth — but the structure remains. From a root-cause lens, this raises questions around residual bacteria in microscopic tubules, ongoing low-grade immune activation & how the body responds to a non-vital tooth over time

Then there’s the toxic load conversation…

• Past dental work exposure to heavy metals (like amalgams)
• Material compatibility can vary from person to person
• The body’s ability to process and eliminate these exposures matters.

💉 And what about that dental anesthesia?

This is where awareness is growing. Many dental anaesthetics can contain local anesthetic agents (like lidocaine) some have shown G Oxide contaminants, Vasoconstrictors (e.g. adrenaline/epinephrine), Preservatives & stabilizers

This is not about fear, oral hygiene is so vital, more it’s about understanding how your body responds and what you’re being exposed to.

The bigger picture is awareness & from a root-cause perspective, it’s about asking:
✔️ Is there lingering stress or burden on the system?
✔️ How is the immune system responding?
✔️ Are detox pathways supported?
✔️ Is the nervous system regulated?
✔️ Is amalgam removal being done safely and appropriately (when relevant)?
✔️ Are you working with a **biological dentist** who considers the whole-body impact?
✔️ Documents are available on safe removal, detox processes, and anesthesia contaminants for those wanting to go deeper

Because healing isn’t just about removing a problem…

It’s about how the body adapts, compensates, and restores balance afterward.

Your teeth, your nervous system, your organs — it’s all connected.

That’s the lens.

🌿 True Healing Starts at the Roots 🌿

Forget the band-aids style, wanting a quick fix, or quick tip.

It’s time to stop chasing symptoms and start asking why?

At the heart of Functional Medicine is a deeper philosophy, that true health comes from addressing the root cause of illness, not just managing the surface.

With 30 years professional experience, I’ve seen the difference between temporary relief and lasting transformation.

That’s why I don’t offer quick tips, trendy wellness hacks, or band aid-style solutions and I find it challenging when asked to do so. My focus is on deep, intentional healing that creates long-term change.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all answers. Instead, taking a personalized, science, researched based, integrated ideology to help educate:

✨ What’s driving your symptoms?
✨ Where is your body out of balance?
✨ How can you support true, sustainable healing?

Whether it's chronic fatigue, autoimmune or skin issues, gut imbalances, detoxification, cancer issues, or hormonal chaos, your symptoms are messages, not mistakes.......and the solution isn't in a quick tip, it's in getting to the root source and cause.

Through targeted protocols, look for solutions in a healing plan that’s tailored to you, your history, your biology, and YOUR story.

Health isn't about masking discomfort. It's about rebuilding from the inside out. 🧬

Functional Medicine is where true healing happens.

Find a practitioner local to you who is ready to stop treating symptoms and start transforming your health uncovering your root cause, together.

Just water? 🤔

Not quite.

What you drink daily either fuels your cells… or leaves them flat.

The right water isn’t just hydration — it’s cellular recharge ⚡
Rich in antioxidants, properly filtered, and alkalised to support balance at a deeper level.

Think:
💧 Neutralising oxidative stress
💧 Supporting energy at a cellular level
💧 Helping your body do what it’s designed to do — heal, repair, thrive

Feel the difference for yourself.

What water do you drink and use in your home for drinking, cleaning, cleaning fruit & veggies?

Same habit. Different quality. Completely different outcome.

Some great tips here for lymphatic system optimisation.

Thanks RevolutioNz for an informative post.

💩The lymphatic system acts like “the sewer”system of the body, but unlike the circulatory system, it doesn’t have a pump.

💩It relies entirely on movement, pressure, and gravity to circulate fluid and filter out waste.

💩Your body has a drainage system with no pump. Here is how to turn it on.

💫Physical Movement💫

🌟Rebounding

✅Jumping on a small trampoline is often considered the gold standard for lymph health. The change in gravitational pull (G-force) during the bounce forces the one-way valves of the lymph system to open and close simultaneously.

🌟Inversion

✅Simply putting your legs up a wall for 10–15 minutes or using an inversion table helps lymph fluid flow from the lower extremities toward the heart.

🌟Walking

✅The rhythmic contraction of the calf muscles acts as a secondary pump for the system.

💫Manual Techniques💫

🌟Dry Brushing

✅Use a natural bristle brush on dry skin before showering. Always brush in long, gentle strokes toward the heart. Start at the feet and work your way up, then from the hands toward the chest.

🌟Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

✅This is a very light-pressure massage technique. The goal is to stretch the skin rather than knead the muscle, as lymphatic vessels are located just beneath the surface.

🌟Contrast Showers

✅Alternating between hot water (which dilates vessels) and cold water (which constricts them) creates a "pump" effect that stimulates and moves fluid through the tissues.

💫Breath & Hydration💫

🌟Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing

✅The thoracic duct is the largest lymphatic vessel in the body. Deep "belly breaths" create pressure changes in the chest cavity that physically push lymph fluid upward.

🌟Hydration

✅If you are dehydrated, the fluid becomes thick and sluggish, making it much harder to transport waste effectively. Lymph fluid is about 95% water

💫Fasting💫

🌟A massive portion of your lymphatic system, known as the GALT (Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue), is concentrated around your intestines.

✅When you eat, the lymphatics are busy transporting fats (chylomicrons) from the gut.

✅During a fast, this "traffic jam" clears, allowing the lymphatic vessels surrounding the digestive tract to focus on clearing stagnant fluid and immune debris from the rest of the body.

✨ They want you to buy the 'cure,' but the body was built to clean itself.

✨Stop ignoring the 'sewage system' of your body.

✨Break the cycle of stagnation and Reclaim your biological sovereignty

✨It's time for a System purge and a cellular reset.

☀️ Ditch the Sunnies!!

Boost Your Health Naturally! 🌅

Did you know that wearing sunglasses can be “cellular suicide”? 😳

There is a lot of data evidence around this theory. Watching the sunrise & sunset orbs both provide cellular regeneration, enzyme, thyroid hormones (TSH, FSH etc) & melanin boosts. Exposure to sunlight, especially at sunrise, is vital to our health, supporting our bodies’ energy production, hormone release, sleep cycle.

🔆 Why Sunlight Matters:
When natural light enters the eyes, it sends signals to the pineal and pituitary glands, helping regulate circadian rhythms and neurotransmitter production. This prepares your skin for safe sun exposure and allows your body to efficiently produce vitamins, crucial players in immune strength. E

When You Wear Sunglasses…
❌ Your brain gets tricked into thinking it’s cloudy, reducing your skin’s ability to prepare for the sun.
❌ You block the UV light needed to energize mitochondria and stimulate T-cells for immune defense.
❌ You miss out on nature’s free mitochondrial reset—sunrise and sunset light optimize neurotransmitter function.

According to Dr. Jack Kruse, shielding your eyes from natural sunlight disrupts key biological processes, including hormone regulation, vitamin D production, and immune function. Dr. Kruse explains: "Most people are unaware that solar exposure makes T cells physiology more brisk and immunocompetent." If you have a compromised immune system, you need more sunlight, not less.

👓 Solution? Where Possible, Lose the Sunnies!

Instead of relying on artificial filters, nourish your system naturally by allowing full-spectrum sunlight into your eyes (safely, of course—never stare directly at the sun at midday!).
Take advantage of early morning and late evening light for optimal hormone balance and cellular function.

If you need to use prescription sunglasses, use them!

Some people have medical conditions who are hyper-sensitive to bright light, which causes conditions like headaches, fatigue, inflammation etc. Some other people just feel it is too bright for their eyes.

Whatever your situation, don’t strain your eyes by trying to align with nature.

Fix the issue of “weak eyes” or your underlying condition, then gradually transition your eyes to be able to expose to natural light.

It may take some people with deeper conditions and hypersensitivity a while to adjust.

🔹 Nature’s medicine is free—use it! 🌿☀️

It always pays to look for the root cause, not just bandaid solutions.

https://www.facebook.com/share/1ES68ivmY6/

The Gap Between ‘Normal’ and Optimal Health

“Functional root cause medicine is ‘alternative’ or ‘speculative.’”?

That label gets used a lot, I bet you've heard it, it's usually when no one wants to look deeper.

Because if you did, you’d have to question why symptoms keep getting managed, while the root cause is left untouched.

You’d have to question why patients return every 8 weeks
with the same complaints, and the same or a new script?

And why “normal” lab ranges are based on populations that are already unwell…yet anything outside that model is dismissed.

Here’s what often goes unspoken.

Medical training is exceptional at identifying disease.
But it doesn’t focus on early dysfunction or prevention.

It teaches when to prescribe.
Not when to intervene before that becomes necessary.

It trains drs to read labs against ranges that tolerate illness…
not ranges that define optimal health.
That’s not confidence.
That’s complacency dressed as authority.

Meanwhile, integrative or root cause interventions get labelled “unproven”…yet long-term symptom management is accepted without question.!!

Preventative care gets minimised…
while reactive care becomes the norm.

Functional root cause medicine doesn’t reject conventional medicine, it extends it.

It asks the question that often gets missed:
what’s happening in the space between “you’re fine” and “you’re sick”?

And when we look deeper, through functional blood work and dry blood analysis, we start to see what standard models overlook:

The layers & the patterns.
Early signals from organs under stress.
Nutrient deficiencies driving dysfunction.
Not theory but answers and direction.

Because when you can see what’s really going on,
you don’t just manage symptoms,
You address the root cause & support a genuine return to health.

The ones calling it “speculative”, "unfounded" or “unscientific”?
They haven’t looked closely enough.

So the choice is yours

You can keep chasing symptoms… or start asking better questions.

🚨 YOUR TESTS ARE NORMAL… YOUR LEVELS ARE “OK”… BUT YOU STILL FEEL OFF?

You’re not imagining it. This is so common & where root cause health shines.

WHY MANY MAINSTREAM TESTS FAIL

Standard labs are designed to detect disease, not function. They check if something is “abnormal enough” to flag, not whether your body is truly thriving.

This means you can have:
✔️ Normal thyroid labs
✔️ Blood counts in range
✔️ Hormone levels “fine”

…while still dealing with Fatigue & low energy, Brain fog, Digestive issues, Mood swings or low motivation, poor recovery after stress or exercise 🏃

NORMAL DOESNT =OPTIMAL

Reference ranges are population averages, many of whom are already unwell.
Being “inside the range” just means you’re not sick enough to trigger a warning.
It doesn’t mean your systems are performing at their best. So, what can you do:

Live & dry blood analysis → can reveal nutrient deficiencies, oxidative stress, and circulation issues

Herbal & Nutritional Support like ashwagandha, astragalus, cordyceps, nettle, and dandelion can support energy, detox, and immune balance, always under guidance and pure supplements or tea are best.

Focus on nutrient-dense foods to support mitochondria, thyroid, and detox pathways. Consider Acupuncture & Chinese medicine → support organ systems, circulation, and energy flow

Massage, movement therapies, breathwork, reduce stress and improve detox pathways
Prioritize sleep & circadian rhythm 🛌
Hydration + clean water 💧
Reduce processed foods, alcohol, and environmental toxins 🚫
Moderate exercise to boost energy without overtaxing your system 🏃‍♀️

“Normal” labs do not always equal health.
If you’re still fatigued, foggy, or off-balance, it’s time to look deeper at how your body is functioning, not just what fits in a reference range.

By combining functional testing, herbal support, and integrative therapies, you can uncover hidden imbalances and start feeling truly alive again. 🌱💪

💚 Share if you’ve ever felt dismissed by “normal” results — and know there’s a better path

😳 TODAY’S EXPERIMENT - WASHING MY ORGANIC TOMATOES

I soaked my so-called organic tomatoes in my 11.5 pH water from my water machine for just 1 minute.

What I saw was… revolting.

Then I took 2 drops of that brown water under my microscope. 👀

THIS IS THE WAKE-UP CALL

If you’re not actively removing this stuff from your food, your body becomes the filter.

Every day, your liver, kidneys, gut, and immune system are working overtime to handle:

Pesticides & chemicals
Metals & contaminants
Unknown particulate matter

Even baking soda, which can remove some pesticide residues from produce, isn’t always enough.

🌿 ROOT CAUSE TAKEAWAYS

1️⃣ Clean & filter your water, activated carbon, or high pH systems can help - I use a certified medical grade machine for many uses including pesticide and other "foreign matter"

2️⃣ Wash & prep produce as even “organic” isn’t immune from surface residues - think air, water and soil contaminants

3️⃣ Support your body’s detox pathways
Liver + kidney support herbs include dandelion, milk thistle, nettle
Minerals & electrolytes to assist natural filtration

4️⃣ Observe & learn → Sometimes seeing it under a microscope changes how you may think about your health

Your body can do amazing things, and yes the liver continually filters we know, but it wasn’t meant to be a toxic filter for the modern world.

If you want to protect your energy, immunity, and vitality, start removing the load before it hits your system.

💚 Share this if you’re ready to stop letting your body do the filtering for you.

🚨 CONSTANT FATIGUE? BRAIN FOG? SWELLING?
It’s not always “just stress”…

Your kidneys AND thyroid could be part of the bigger picture.

From a origin healing mindset, most people are told to jump straight to meds by dr's…but here’s what often gets missed:

👉 Thyroid meds typically give you T4 (inactive hormone)
👉 Your body still has to convert it into T3 (the active form)

And if your body is stressed, toxic, or depleted… that conversion drops = fatigue, brain fog, low energy that doesn’t shift

Where do the Kidneys come in?

Your kidneys don’t just filter fluid — they impact:
✔️ Red blood cell production (energy + oxygen)
✔️ Fluid balance & Toxin clearance

When they’re under stress, symptoms can show up like:

• Fatigue & weakness = Low erythropoietin = fewer red blood cells = low oxygen

• Swelling (fluid retention) usually in the legs, ankles, face, hands

• Changes in urine = Foamy, blood, frequent urination (especially at night),

• Shortness of breath = Fluid + low red blood cells
• Itchy skin = Overload of Waste + phosphorus buildup
• Metallic taste / bad breath = Toxins circulating in the blood
• Nausea / low appetite = Poor filtration = toxic overload
• Muscle cramps = Electrolyte imbalance
• Brain fog / poor focus = Low oxygen to the brain

SUPPORTING THE ROOT (NOT JUST SYMPTOMS)

1. THYROID SUPPORT VIA EXTRA ASSISTANCE
Consider supporting iodine levels + detox pathways with:
👉 Detoxadine (Global Healing) — a nascent iodine formula designed to support healthy thyroid function + metabolic balance. I have found this beneficial - just 3 drops 3 x a week.

2. HERBAL ALLIES FOR KIDNEYS + DETOX

🌱 Nettle leaf – mineral-rich, supports kidneys + blood building
🌱 Dandelion leaf/root – gentle diuretic, supports liver + kidneys
🌱 Parsley – helps reduce fluid retention
🌱 Astragalus – supports kidney function + immune resilience
🌱 Cordyceps – supports energy + kidney-adrenal axis

3. SUPPORT T4 → T3 CONVERSION 🔥
This is where the magic happens incoporate Selenium (Brazil nuts), Zinc (meat, soaked seeds), Reduce inflammation + toxin load & Support your liver + gut health.

The foundations still matter - think Hydration (clean water is key -n I drink Triple filtered Ionized 9.5ph hydrogen water), Whole foods, and a mineral-rich diet, regular movement (not burnout training) & Reduce (or eliminate) alcohol + processed foods.

Fatigue isn’t random. It’s often a signal your body isn’t converting, clearing, or producing properly

Support the thyroid + kidneys + detox pathways, & energy starts to come back online

Save this for later & share with someone who’s always tired but “everything looks normal”
