The LIVER is the hardest working organ in the body.

It works 24/7, never taking a break.
It’s also the only organ that can completely regenerate itself—even if up to 70% is compromised.

So the real question is: why wouldn’t we take care of it?
7 Signs Your Liver May Be Struggling

1️⃣ Waking up between 2–3 AM
Your liver releases stored glucose throughout the night to fuel the brain. If liver function is compromised, blood sugar can drop too quickly. Since the brain doesn’t store fuel, it perceives an emergency and releases adrenaline to mobilize glucose—fully waking you up.
👉 This is often blamed on the adrenals, but the root issue is the liver.

2️⃣ Right shoulder pain
When bile becomes sluggish, the liver can swell under the right rib cage. This irritates a nerve that runs from the diaphragm up to the neck, referring pain to the right shoulder.
Left shoulder pain can occur if the pancreas begins to overcompensate.

3️⃣ Easy bruising
The liver produces clotting factors. If it can’t keep up, bruising and bleeding issues can appear—this is a liver issue, not a skin issue.

4️⃣ Persistent itching
When bile flow is obstructed, it backs up into the liver, then the bloodstream, and eventually the skin—causing itching without a visible rash.

5️⃣ Low tolerance to alcohol
If alcohol suddenly feels harder to tolerate, it may be because the liver can’t break it down efficiently, leading to toxin buildup in the body.

6️⃣ Protruding belly with thinning legs
This isn’t fat—it’s fluid buildup in the abdomen (ascites). At the same time, muscle loss occurs in the legs, signaling advanced liver stress.

7️⃣ Irritability & brain fog
When protein isn’t broken down properly, ammonia builds up and can’t be cleared. This directly impacts cognitive function, leading to irritation, anger, and mental fog.

The powerful part?
A severely stressed liver has the potential to return to normal function in weeks when you do two things:
1️⃣ Support it with a targeted liver detox
2️⃣ Remove industrial sugars found in ultra-processed foods

Your liver does the work every single day.
It’s time to support it back.

This shirt speaks volumes about our healthcare system.

One pill to manage a symptom…
Another to manage the side effects…
And before you know it, the original issue is still untouched.

Most people don’t land on a long list of medications overnight — it creeps in slowly, one new complaint at a time, until the whole thing snowballs and becomes a HUGE problem.

Here’s the part most people never hear:

🟢 Blood sugar can improve
🟢 Blood pressure can improve
🟢 Anxiety, fatigue, and insomnia all have real underlying drivers
🟢 The body is built to function better when you actually support it

Medications have their place.
But so does nutrition, lifestyle shifts, functional testing, and targeted supplementation — the things that actually move the needle.

If you're tired of treating side effects instead of root cause, you’re not alone.

There is a different way to approach your health. Comment test below that will help us get to the root cause of what is happening in your body and causing the symptoms.

Did you know that food sensitivities can cause symptoms like headaches, skin issues, digestive issues, and fatigue?

We love the IgG Food Sensitivity Test that helps uncover hidden food triggers, empowering us to reduce inflammation and heal the gut.

What we’ve discovered:

✅ Not all “healthy” foods work for everyone.

✅ Healing the gut can improve energy, mood, and digestion.

✅ Food is information—learning how your body reacts is life-changing.

By using functional lab testing, we can now identify exactly which foods work for your body—and which don’t.

Drop a “LABS” below if you’re curious about food sensitivity testing!

THE TOP 5 GUT ISSUES HARMING MOST PEOPLE

If you’ve been dealing with bloating, brain fog, low energy, or stubborn digestive issues—you’re definitely not alone.

Many have already been given labels like IBS, IBD, Crohn’s, colitis, SIBO, or diverticulitis—but those diagnoses don’t actually explain why the issues began. They’re simply clusters of symptoms grouped under a name. In reality, most digestive problems stem from a small number of underlying causes that are rarely discussed in conventional medicine. And unless those root causes are addressed, medications and quick fixes only cover up symptoms—sometimes even making things worse.

Today, I’m breaking down the five most common reasons I see digestion go off track—and what you can do to finally get your gut back on course.

Most chronic digestive problems trace back to one or more of these five culprits:

1. Candida, yeast, or fungal overgrowth
2. Bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
3. Parasites
4. H. pylori
5. Food sensitivities

✅ Candida & SIBO
Your gut will always contain some bacteria and yeast—but when either grows out of balance, that’s when problems start. Candida alone can release over 70 toxic byproducts, which can burden your mitochondria, liver, kidneys, brain, and immune system.

✅ Bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) can have a similar effect. When harmful strains crowd out beneficial bacteria, your immune system weakens and inflammation takes hold.

Common symptoms include:
• Bloating and gas
• Constipation or diarrhea
• IBS, heartburn, GERD, or reflux
• Acne, headaches, fatigue
• Anxiety, mood changes, and autoimmune flare-ups

Since roughly 80% of your immune system lives in your gut, any imbalance there can affect nearly every system in your body.

✅ Parasites
Parasites are far more common than most people think. They’re not just a risk when traveling abroad—you can pick them up from undercooked meats, fish, or even a salad bar. It’s estimated that about 1 in 4 people carry a parasite without knowing it. I’ve seen countless clients experience chronic fatigue, digestive distress, or unexplained symptoms—only to discover a hidden parasite. Once we completed a targeted cleanse, their system finally began to rebalance

✅ H. pylori
H. pylori is a bacteria that thrives in the stomach by producing an enzyme called urease, which helps it survive the acidic environment. It feeds on the stomach’s protective mucus and nutrients like amino acids, iron, and lipids—not the food you eat. However, diets high in processed foods, sugar, and low fiber can make it easier for H. pylori to thrive. Globally, over 4 billion people are estimated to have an H. pylori infection. While many never develop symptoms, in others it can lead to ulcers, gastritis, or even stomach cancer.

✅ Food Sensitivities
When your gut becomes inflamed—whether from candida, SIBO, parasites, or H. pylori—it can lead to leaky gut, where the intestinal lining becomes more permeable. This allows undigested food particles to slip into the bloodstream, triggering an immune response known as an IgG reaction. Your body then treats these foods like invaders, creating even more inflammation and worsening gut imbalance. That’s why you could be eating “healthy” foods—like eggs, nuts, or certain fruits—and still feel bloated, tired, or foggy afterward.

If you're truly looking for the hidden underlying root causes for why you can't get well, lose the weight, or fix your digestion, you must look deeper into healing the gut. I highly suggest that you start with testing so that we know exactly how to target the specific gut imbalance you are dealing with.

How to test for gut imbalances

✅Candida & SIBO: Candida, Metabolic, & Vitamins Lab

✅ Parasites, H. Pylori, SIBO: Bacteria, Parasites, Stool Lab

✅ Food Sensitivities: Food Sensitivity Lab

These 3 tests are going to give you a very comprehensive look into your gut health. If you can only start with one, I recommend the Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test.

Healing your gut can be the one thing that changes your health and life forever.

I am always grateful anytime Natalie Herbick from New Day Cleveland stops in.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Natalie and her amazing team in to the center to try out mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) — and she loved it!

Mild HBOT is a relaxing, non-invasive treatment where you breathe in concentrated oxygen in a pressurized environment. 🌿 It’s a favorite for those seeking natural wellness support, and here’s why:

✅ Boosts energy & mental clarity
✅ Supports faster recovery from workouts or injury
✅ Reduces inflammation
✅ Enhances skin health and collagen production
✅ Strengthens the immune system
✅ Promotes better sleep
✅ May support mood balance and reduce stress

Whether you’re an athlete, someone managing chronic disease, or just looking to feel your best, mild HBOT is a powerful tool to add to your wellness routine.

See the before and after pictures of a brain scan from one session of mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The increase in cerebral blood flow is incredible

Thanks for stopping by, Natalie — we loved having you!

3 things that greatly inmpacted my son’s journey with PANDAS that I wish I said no to.

1. Long term antibiotics. I destroyed his gut by allowing well intending Doctors to prescribe these. The effect of destroying the gut and his neurotransmitters played a huge role in his journey to heal.

2. Vaccines. When you have certain gene snps, vaccines can put a child with a compromised immune system in a pit.

3. Learned more about essential
Lab testing to get to the root cause.

October is PANDAS Awareness month, if you want to learn more comment info below ir drop any questions you may have.
