D-CON. Active ingredient: Cholecalciferol.

Some supplement companies will use the same cholecalciferol in their product formulations. And guess what manufacturers are fortifying milk and cereals with? 🥴

It usually comes from irradiated lanolin from sheep’s wool. D-Con (active ingredient:cholecalciferol) causes calcification of the kidneys and other soft tissues leading to obvious kidney failure in rodents. Calcitonin (which is secreted from our thyroid) is needed to counter the effects of hypercalcemia. So here’s my thing, if it can do that in rodents, and it can cause the same complications in our dogs and cats, then you have to ask yourself what it’s doing in the human body at high doses over long periods of time. And is it appropriate for us and our children?

Let’s throw in a poor functioning thyroid and/or parathyroid into the mix. Add on top of that, for some people, compromised kidneys. How is someone like that going to maintain health of those organs and maintain healthy levels of calcium let alone magnesium, bioavailable copper, and retinol?

It’s September and living in the Northeast, we currently only have less than 7 hours daily of UVB light. Vitamin D levels will begin to decrease, and that’s ok! I don’t believe we need to supplement vitamin D during the winter months and here’s why:

🌞 If we want to live in alignment with the Earth’s seasons to receive the health benefits, we must move into Melatonin dominance. Both diurnal molecules wax and wane with the our internal body clock, as well as the Earth’s seasons. Winter is coming, which means we will be using melatonin more-so than vitamin D. Naturally, melatonin will begin to bind to the vitamin D receptor(VDR) which will allow it to emit the same healing effects and immune support as vitamin D does in the warmer months.

🌞Although melatonin hits it’s peak between 2am-4am, it begins to rise when the sun starts to set. This means we need to start to be extra mindful of our exposure to artificial light at this time, especially after the sun has completely set.

🌞But, in order for you to begin production of melatonin your body needs to have clear communication starting in the superchiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus with morning sunlight (UVA photons).

🌞UVA photons from morning light received into naked eyes interact with the aromatic amino acid tryptophan which then becomes many chemicals, one being serotonin, which will move on to become melatonin.

🌞This time of year, Melatonin ramps up because we are moving into “hibernation” mode. When you live in a colder region, you need to learn how to adapt to drastic change in weather to maintain your health.

🌜Be extra mindful of artificial light 📺 📱 💻
🌜Wear blue blockers while working on the computer 👓
🌜Set your phone to red screen after sunset 🟥
🌜Go to bed earlier 🛌
🌜Always get out to see the sky w/naked eyes when the sun is between 0 and 10 degrees 🌅
🌜Keep your house lights dim after sunset 💡
🌜Follow the laws of nature ✨

If you’d eat more like your ancestors would’ve eaten, you will regain your health. This just makes sense to me. The more nutrient dense food you eat, the less you have to eat, the more energy you get, the more your brain lights up. Essentially you become an efficient, adaptable human being. You require less, but produce more…in every way.

It takes sodium and potassium to help the pupils adjust to the intensity of light, so if you have a sodium and potassium imbalance you will experience it in your eyes. When we burn through these minerals quickly under stress, like after being sick, or under a heavy amount of work stress, not sleeping, emotionally drained, etc, you might notice it hurts your eyes to go in the bright light of the sun. Look to the adrenals! They need sodium and potassium.

Adventures in Essence Land ✨

A suburban flower walk 🌼
All plants emit a frequency and this is
what I gathered on the concrete path:

These plants are the OGs of under appreciated resiliency and beauty. They are not the focus of attention and are perfectly comfortable not being. Their subdued and discreet appearance allow these overlooked plants to have the unwavering ability to thrive in the unforgiving, and are completely dedicated to their purpose, no matter who or what gets in their way. Neither one overtaking the other, but rather building a supportive network to help each other thrive and provide stability for each other in a tough world. They might not attract everyone, and they certainly have no interest in impressing everyone, but they attract the honest and appreciative, and that is good enough for them.

Do you know anyone who reminds you of these wild beauties? Raise your hand in the comment section if you do! 🙋‍♀️

Get soaking! 🌊

Wonder how you can prepare your immune system for the coming fall and winter months? Soaking in Magnesium should be the first step. It’s safe for all, including the autoimmune. In fact, it is necessary. BUT, your STORAGE vitamin D is stored in your liver and adipose tissue, and can not be activated unless you have magnesium present.

The immune molecule, vitamin D… you know, the one that gets praise for it’s powerful immune modulating effects, is ACTIVATED and must be activated to perform these powerful functions everyone raves about. If you don’t have enough magnesium present in your body to get the storage form of D activated, you are missing out on all the benefits! Did you know there are a ton of vitamin D metabolites in your body? And to think, your provider or practitioner probably only talks about 1.

“Well I feel good on the vitamin D supplement that I take. How can that be if it’s stuck in storage?” Answer: Storage D aka cholecalciferol, is a steroidal hormone that will make you feel good while on it. But why? Because, it is an immune suppressant. So if you have, or suspect you have autoimmunity of some kind, it WILL make you feel good…while you are on it, because it is suppressing your autoimmunity. This brings you to a position where you have to ask yourself if you want to deal with your autoimmune issue or if you would rather suppress it. In homeopathy, we would look at the concept of supplemental D as palliative care. Suppressing the immune system of any kind will drive an illness deeper. An example would be suppressing a fever with fever-reducers like NSAIDs. You have just shut down your first line of defense and now the invader is able to enter the deeper network of your immune system where it is much more vulnerable to the attack it has set out to accomplish...making itself right at home within your body, disguising itself and presenting itself as all sorts of puzzling symptoms later on, that become harder and harder to “figure out”. Years and years of suppression will bring greater depths of dis-ease.

So anyway, get your feet in a basin of water with magnesium chloride often & boost your immunity!

Something I’ve noticed in the naturopathic field of health is that, often the care of the mind and soul are unintentionally left out of the treatment. Nevertheless it’s a problem, because most people seeking help and guidance are already viewing their physical health in disconnection of their mind and soul health. And because practitioners are so eager to provide help and assistance to see people get well with the best intentions of their heart, it is forgotten to reinforce the ability that the mind and soul have to make all the difference in the person’s physical outcome.

So often, people start a protocol or supplement thinking they will notice a difference within the first few weeks. When I tell people that they need to make circadian health top priority, I’ll be lucky if they give it a try for a week, let alone a few weeks. The majority of people will slip back into their old patterns very quickly, never getting to experience the full benefits that the sun and darkness have to offer to the foundation of their health. This is because it takes time, 63 days to be exact, to make a thought a habit. If we can direct our thoughts, the body will follow. Bad habits die hard. Making the shift requires diligence but if you can manage your thought life well, you can manage your health a lot better. You have to be able to recognize when you’re giving up on a new habit, identify your roadblocks, and strategize what you can do to be able to keep moving forward. Perfectionism can be the enemy of Good. Don’t let it be. Good is still moving forward. Taking positive action, even if it is small, is moving forward, and you will still gain long term benefits from your efforts.

Just some food for thought 😉 on this rainy Monday! 🌧
Don’t give up on your health because you only tried something for a month and it didn’t work. It takes your whole mind, body and soul to get there. There are no magic pills. Awesome products and protocols, but NO magic pills and quick fixes for health issues that have been building up for years that you want to go away for the rest of your life.

🫀What you’re thinking about and what goes through your mind at any given time is more important to your health than you might realize.

🫀This “little brain” as it is referred to, is a collection of nerve cells that make up the heart’s own nervous system. Yes, the heart actually has its own independent nervous system! It directly communicates with your pre-frontal cortex, where you accept or reject thoughts, and rationalize decision making based on the emotions that rise up from your amygdala. You could say this is your free will. But something has to advise this free will in order for you to accept or reject a thought.

🫀I believe this little brain in our hearts interact with the information being rationalized functioning as our literal conscience to send signals back to the brain as our intelligent force guiding us through life. Is it the still small voice advising our free will?

🫀When we listen to our conscience our heart secretes ANF (atrial natriuretic factor), a chemical that produces peace and calms the body. This allows your body to produce health being at internal rest and will actually help your brain function efficiently. When we are at war in our hearts and have “hardened” hearts, it will not produce ANF. This will physically cause an imbalance in your body chemistry that will lead to a toxic state and dis-ease or disfunction.

💧When your cells are dehydrated you can not effectively remove the histamine since it is a water soluble molecule. Histamine will continue to build up as long as you remain dehydrated. If not corrected with proper hydration, you might end up experiencing the symptoms of histamine intolerance. Hives, rashes, stomach issues, and allergies are only a few symptoms you can experience since histamines are found in nearly all tissues of the body.

💧Proper hydration is JUST ONE key to managing histamine, but it is the best place to start.

💧Drinking plain old water won’t cut it, though. Your cells need minerals to work effectively to remove histamine. Make sure you are drinking pure water that has either naturally occurring minerals or add your minerals back in by stirring in a pinch of sea salt, using trace mineral drops or high quality electrolyte drops/powders. If you don’t do this, you are just drinking useless water and you will actually remain dehydrated.

Calcification. It’s what happens when you don’t support the body with the right amount of magnesium or sunshine(vit D) to make the magic happen.

Our diets are typically way higher in calcium than magnesium. Add in some emotional, physical and mental stress and you will burn through what little magnesium you are getting through your diet. Stiff muscles and joints, stiff arteries, cardiac issues, high blood pressure, calcification in the kidneys, tumors and cysts, calcification in the brain is what can happen when calcium is in excess.

So if we already know we need the active form of Vitamin D hormone to direct Calcium to the right places such as bone instead of your soft tissues, you have to look back to what you need to convert pro-hormone D(which is storage D (25OH)) to the active hormonal form (1,25(OH)2D).
It will always be magnesium.

I like Magnesium chloride foot soaks, magnesium malate, taurate and glycinate, and whole food sources.

For vitamin D, sunshine is best, but if you feel you must supplement, do it with wild caught seafood. I utilize premium cod liver oil, sardines or oyster powder capsules.

This is not medical advice.

We can simplify health and make it attainable for all. 💛
10 am and 2 pm is significantly helpful for adrenal health and I find it funny that, as God would have it, these little yet powerful glands are situated literally at 10 and 2. You see a lot of formulas out there for adrenal health, but as with anything, good quality and potency can cost you a lot of money. It’s nice to splurge on a well-formulated product for yourself, but you don’t have to! Especially if you won’t be able to afford it if you have to repurchase it. One bottle of something usually doesn’t cut it, am I right? It’s not necessary to put yourself through that, and if you can’t keep it up financially you will find yourself back at square one before you know it. And that alone will create stress if you’re not able to “keep up with yourself”. We don’t have to do that to ourselves. We can do a lot with a little to build a strong foundation of health. It doesn’t have to be unaffordable and unattainable.

Potent Whole food sources of C: Amla, Camu, Acerola, Rose Hip, orange juice, and more

Whole food Potassium: coconut water or wine cask crystallized cream of tartar (non-gmo, non-ETO, non-irradiated)

Studying “Vitamin” D is seriously one of the most complex topics my brain has ever tried to understand. It’s like climbing Mount Everest, not sure we will ever get to the top, but it’s worth all the angst to be able to share what I’ve learned. First, I think the most important question we should all be asking is, Why are we being scared or sold into taking a hormone posing as a vitamin, if our bodies can easily sulfate it from sun exposure? Second question is, Why are we being told more is always better, when there is plenty of research indicating that the D3 or cholecalciferol(fat soluble) synthetic hormone that you take has nothing to do with the active (sulfated) form of D (1,25(OH))?

Anyway, there’s a lot of nutrients that go into this production, BUT, if you don’t have the following, disregulation will ensue:

☀️ Sunshine is necessary to react with the receptors in our skin and eyes to communicate(send signals) to our bodies to begin the process.

☀️ Cholesterol in our skin needs to be kissed by the sun to form previtamin D.

☀️ Magnesium is required for all of the steps during metabolism and transportation starting with the VDBP, transporting it to the liver to be converted to 25(OH)D and continue to use Mag for all other transportation and steps in activation in the kidneys and extra-renal tissue. So Magnesium gets USED UP a lot during this process. You need to replenish it always.

☀️ Retinol: in order to make D, retinol gets broken down by the sun to provide the VDR which is involved with the retinoic acid receptor, RXR. You need to replenish your retinol with retinol rich foods.

☀️ Copper is involved in the entire process from start to finish behind the scenes due to the enzyme ceruloplasmin. Retinol is needed to produce ceruloplasmin in the body, so you can see how important keeping D, retinol and copper balanced is.

Disregulation from supplemental D robs you of the full spectrum benefits of the sun and the ability to keep minerals, hormones, and enzymes balanced.

☀️Lastly, the immune response molecule 1,25 is the heavy hitter that should be getting all the credit for vitamin D’s health reputation, NOT 25.

Fortified foods like Vit. D milk, cereals, breads, grains and anything else that has the “fortified” word on its label or ingredients list should not be consumed. Go check your labels in your pantry and fridge and let me know how many fortified foods you find that you’ve been consuming daily or on a regular basis for years. These products are dangerous because you are supplementing nutrition with synthetic substances (not bioavailable) that:

💊 cause serious vitamin and mineral imbalances in the body
💊 the substances they use to fortify these foods are usually derived and manufactured in a way that make them toxic to the human body
💊 if they have to fortify a packaged food in the first place, should you be eating it? What manufacturing practices have they used in order to render the food depleted in its natural vitamins and minerals in the first place?
💊 do you know if you even need to be supplementing with those synthetic substances? Are you aware of what these synthetic ingredients do in the body and if they are properly paired up with their cofactors?
💊 can your body even metabolize these synthetic versions? Or do they turn into advanced glycation end products and wreak havoc in your body causing further nutrient depletion and imbalances leading to oxidative stress, liver damage, kidney damage, thyroid damage, leaky gut, and more!!! Way more.

Examples are:

•Vit D
•B vitamins
•iron
•calcium
•iodine
•Vit C

From that small list, you should go research what forms they use and how they manufacture these substances and tell me if you feel comfortable eating them anymore.

Stay away from anything that says fortified. If it has to be fortified in the first place, there’s a problem with it.

Eat real food, Stay healthy! Read your labels.

This is where I’m at and I’m loving it. I’ve really been working on eliminating supplements, and eliminating the need for remedies all the time, even though I take all whole food supplements, and all energetic, homeopathic or plant remedies. I really wanted to challenge myself to focus on getting what I need from food and light. Putting theories to the test. Just trying to simplify life and my needs. Being fully responsible for the choices that dictate my health. I don’t want to have to rely heavily on supplements and remedies or allopathic medications to feel good and be efficient in all that I do. Before systems of medicines, allopathic and naturopathic, there was nothing but the energy of the earth, the light from the sun, and food that had to be sourced in the wild…and a bunch of faith and learned wisdom. There’s no shortcut to true health and I don’t want anything fake and nothing I can’t stick to. And to be honest, I’m even growing past the paradigm of naturopathy and more interested in the beyond. That’s actually what has driven my motivation, to use the best God gave us and let Him bless the rest as He deems worthy and just. It really takes the fear and confusion out of this life and tumultuous times. Nothing is perfect all the time, we all get sick from time to time, we’re all going to have our last day here, but God gave me this passion for a reason and I’m here to explore it! You know what I’ve learned in all my studies? That we have a long way to go in understanding this miraculous machine called the human body, but there’s a lot of great doctors and scientists and practitioners bringing to light things we have lost and forgotten along the way and things that need to be deeply researched further. We’re here to learn anyway, not to pretend being God.

I’m so sick of LDL being referred to as bad and HDL always being referred to as good. First of all we know we need LDL to transport cholesterol in the body. Without it we wouldn’t be able to produce hormones, vitamin D, build and repair tissue, produce bile in the liver, and maintain the integrity of cell membranes. Your brain contains the highest amount of cholesterol in your body! It’s well-known that lowering cholesterol levels may impair brain function.
So where does this delivery system go bad? Let me rephrase that, where does LDL become disfunctional? There’s many reasons as you can imagine: chronic disease, chronic infections, autoimmune conditions, sleep apnea, obesity, diet, alcohol, smoking, and genetics can all play a part. Put simply, inflammatory conditions, inflammatory responses and inflammatory lifestyles.
Chronic inflammation continues to produce ROS (reactive oxygen species). When this vulnerable lipoprotein (LDL) reacts with ROS causing lipid peroxidation, a viscous oxidative chain reaction commences. If you don’t try to address this root cause, LDL will stay elevated. It’s a two edged sword. Ideally it’s job is protective, but when oxidized it becomes pro-inflammatory.
You know what else can become pro-inflammatory? HDL! Under certain conditions, HDL can enhance oxidation and inflammation associated with atherosclerotic plaque. Systemic inflammatory stimulus such as infection, autoimmune disease, diabetes, atherosclerosis and inflammatory foods can cause HDL to become pro-Inflammatory.
Bottom line: We need to get away from the high/low thinking and be more concerned with the quality and functional properties of these two lipoproteins.
PS: Iron accumulates in plaque. ‘Circulating iron and oxidized LDLs enhance subendothelial LDL retention and macrophage progression to foam cells. Iron also affects VSMC proliferation and migration into the lesion, favoring plaque progression.’ It would be wise to address your iron recycling system. Iron is extremely toxic/reactive if not bound and transported properly.

Food is information. It holds frequencies. Just by looking at food you stimulate metabolic activity. What you feed on is instructing your body to become more alive or instructing it to destroy itself.
I start off usually with some hydrating fruit, even if it’s just an orange or some berries, then I move into softer proteins that are dense in nutrition.
Everyone is going to be drawn to different sources of nutrition on different days. Some days you might not need as much protein, some days you might have no desire for fruit at all. That’s ok. Just don’t eat lifeless packaged foods all day. Think of what you are craving or what you could “go for” and make it the healthiest version possible of that.

What’s your take on the semaglutide or ozempic craze? Since your superchiasmatic nucleus regulates your biological processes through informative light from the sun into your retina, I think this should be a discussion. We’re talking hormone secretion, sleep-wake cycle, body temperature, and energy metabolism. All things that contribute to weight gain if not kept in proper rhythm. Chronic disruption of your circadian rhythm leads to increased oxidative stress and metabolic diseases. It is well known that the disruption of circadian rhythm contributes to obesity, hyperglycemia, leptin and insulin resistance.
It’s concerning to see so many people blindly jumping on this bandwagon to use a drug that does not support optimal health. The unethical prescribing of drugs like this to be used as a short-cut to weight loss is damaging to the long term health of the patient by contributing to unhealthy body image and a distorted view of what being truly healthy is, therefore prolonging the patient’s suffering and even creating new pathological conditions.
This drug induces an anorexigenic effect in the brain. Suppressing the appetite will only bring nutritional deficiencies in an already nutrient deficient body creating a cascade of disfunction and oxidative stress. This type of action directly effects the muscles, liver, pancreas, stomach, colon, and mental health of the patient.
Don’t you think it’s weird that obesity is more prevalent now than ever? Why now? A lot of things in our environment has changed. Look at all the junk light we are exposed to constantly. Our ancestors were never exposed to the blue lights that our eyes are constantly receiving information from. LIGHT IS INFORMATION. So where is your source of the majority of informational light coming from? For most of us, it’s not coming from the sun! Most of us are inside all day, staring at a tablet, a phone, or a computer throughout daylight hours under fluorescent/LED lights. This type of light is inflammatory. Most people who are carrying around extra weight have weight from inflammation. Obviously, junk light is not the ONLY contributor to obesity but it DEFINITELY needs to be considered.

Reasons to eat sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds:

1️⃣ contains heart healthy acids that help to balance LDL and HDL and may help to reduce the damaging effects of inflammatory cytokines. According to a study in 2004 in Nutrition, Oleic acid decreases concentrations of vascular cell adhesion molecules, making cells less “sticky” (reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, strokes, blood clots, and heart disease).

2️⃣ contains amino acids. Arginine: may help to increase elasticity of arteries-decreasing vascular resistance, enhancing healthy blood flow.

3️⃣ contains Tryptophan: promotes rest, reduces anxiety, and is a potent free radical scavenger.

4️⃣ contains Glutamic acid: researchers who published a study in Circulation 2009 suggest that glutamic acid can significantly lower blood pressure

5️⃣ contains Vitamin E: anti-inflammatory. Helps protect against oxidation of cholesterol.

6️⃣ contains Selenium, Magnesium, Copper, Zinc and Niacin which all play important roles in heart health and managing cholesterol, and balance hormones.

7️⃣ contains fiber: improves digestion, protects gut microbiome

Optimize to get the most benefits:

• use raw, organic and preferably sprouted like the brand in this picture
• refrigerate them for freshness
• sprinkle them on salads, yogurt, oatmeal, chicken salad. Include them in a snack mix to bring to work.
• only eat small amounts at a time. 1/4 cup being the most you consume in one sitting. Obviously, if you have digestive issues with seeds and such, you need to be extra careful or find an alternative.
