It may surprise you, but about 1/4 of my clients are virtual! But what does that mean, and how can it work for you?

After the Campfire in 2018, many of my clients moved out of the area but wanted to continue to receive care from me, so I adapted! I now work with clients via phone call or zoom appointments, we do zyto scans, review labs, set up emergency protocols, and I ship them their product! These patients continue to receive the high level of expertise and care that my in-person patients receive and they have stayed with me for years using this model.

I have also started to develop virtual clients who have never seen me in-person. These patients have been referred to me by family and friends and I am overjoyed to take care of them as well!

If you, or someone you know, can't travel to see me, don't worry, I can still work with you and support you on your health journey! Just give my office a call to get scheduled: 916-844-2800.

Home remedies are tried and true, and usually all natural! This garlic infused honey was gifted to us by a patient several years ago and we use it every time we are under the weather!

When we get sick we chewed a clove of garlic and then mixed a spoonful of honey with some water and drink that as well. Repeat twice a day til we feel better.

What home remedies do you use that work for you?

We are exposed to SO MANY toxins in our air, water, and food that it's important to detox at least once a year. I like to do the SP 21 Day Purification Program between Thanksgiving and Christmas because it has the added benefit of helping me keep off the holiday weight!
