Under the South African sun, I had the honor of meditating alongside one of my dear friends. Without our knowing, an elephant came to join us…
For centuries, elephants have roamed the African savannas. They’ve thrived without predators, harmonizing their food systems with the rhythm of their reproduction.
In recent years, something remarkable has unfolded. The elephants of Botswana and South Africa began reproducing at an unprecedented rate. With over 350,000 elephants now exceeding the carrying capacity of their territories, they’ve inadvertently decimated their food systems, leveling forests and facing the plight of overpopulation.
In the face of this ecological crisis, humanity grappled with a daunting question: How do we address the surplus of elephants without causing further harm to our planet? The prospect of euthanasia loomed, presenting an unthinkable solution to an unfathomable problem.
However, a revelation emerged…
From the perspective of soil systems, elephants have an astonishing impact on their environment. Each majestic creature, through its presence alone, bestows upon the land an abundance of organic material—25 tons per acre per year—an awe-inspiring contribution to the rebirth of our planet.
When you multiply 25 tons of carbon material by 300,000 elephants per year per acre, the implications are staggering. It becomes evident that these creatures hold the power to reinvigorate North Africa, transforming the largest desert in the world into the vastest grassland once again…
The elephants are not merely inhabitants of Africa; they are guardians of its future. As they tread upon the soil, they awaken dormant seeds of transformation, igniting a process of rejuvenation that transcends human understanding.
Imagine a world where humanity aligns itself with the rhythms of the Earth, where fences fall, and boundaries dissolve. Together, we embark on a journey of co-creation with the elephants, witnessing the birth of a new Earth—a planet teeming with life.
Let’s envision a future where humanity and nature dance in harmony, where the birth canal of the Earth opens wide, and we emerge as witnesses to the profound beauty of creation

Nothing says spring like a picture full of nymph ticks!
This is how small ticks are at this time of year. They look like little specks of dirt. Ticks are out and questing for a blood meal.
Do those tick checks every time you come in from outside. Use a good repellant containing 20% Picaridin/Incaridin.
Flocks of white, black and brown ducks hunt for snails and bugs as they patrol the grapevines at a vineyard in South Africa's winemaking town of Stellenbosch, helping the owners steer clear of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers.

Did you know that almost every bodily function is controlled by hormones and many health issues can be linked to a hormonal imbalance? Any imbalance can lead you to feeling "off" so it's important to address those imbalances before they become chronic.
We offer hormone therapy to help optimize your hormone health with Bioidentical Hormone Therapy, which is a safer and more natural choice for hormone replacement.
Early symptoms of Lyme Disease can show up in an array of ways - such as fatigue, rash, fever, chills, headache, and more. If left untreated, Lyme disease can progress into a chronic condition that causes a wide range of debilitating symptoms.
Your gut is an ecosystem containing trillions of microorganisms that have an impact on your overall health and well-being. When in good balance, your gut microbiome supports healthy bodily functions and keeps you feeling at your best. However, too much bad gut bacteria can slow down digestion, make you feel sluggish, and even contribute to depression and other chronic health issues.
Dig deeper about your gut health with Dr. Ridinger and schedule an appointment today! https://loom.ly/WsjQrl8

It is easy to associate the symptoms with the flu or other illnesses in the early stages. However, if you’ve spotted a bullseye rash and have recently been outdoors in a grassy or bushy area, this can be an indication of Lyme disease.
If left untreated, the later symptoms can include more severe or longer-lasting symptoms.
The following activities could potentially have you crossing paths with ticks! 😨
✔️Camping
✔️Hiking
✔️Golfing
✔️Playing in grass
When enjoying these activities, it’s a good idea to take preventative measures to avoid tick bites. Try to stay on cleared paths and avoid going through thick brush and grass.

Lyme disease is transmitted through ticks. When they feed on an animal with a bloodborne illness, it can infect them. The bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi will infect the tick and transmit to you if you are bitten.

A lot of research is currently underway to improve the accuracy of early testing and diagnosis for Lyme disease.
At the moment, most doctors use a two-step testing process, which are done using a blood sample. It’s designed to detect antibodies the body makes to fight infection, however, they can take several weeks to develop (meaning you may return a negative test in the early stages) and they can stay in the blood for a long time after the infection is gone (meaning the results may be out of date).

Today, I’d like to talk to you about healthy eating! 🥗🥑🍎
It’s best if you eat foods that most closely resemble the form that you find in nature. These whole foods are not going to come in a package, can, box, or fast food restaurants.
Ideally your plate should be very colorful, preferably having very equal groups of vegetables, fruits, proteins, fats, and carbs, while trying to avoid extra sugar and fructose. And even better, a diet with whole foods that are organic are ideal. ❤️

Some people wonder if they have lyme disease or not. They’re fatigued, have memory issues, and joint pain. Are they related to tick-borne illness or not?
When you have anxiety or low energy, could that still be lyme disease? It can mimic many other diseases. It can evade the immune system and hide in joints or the central nervous system. Check out the full video below! ⬇️

Have you ever wondered if two very different symptoms could be related? It's possible they might be!

Just because you have a negative Lyme test, doesn't necessarily mean you don't have Lyme disease.
Lyme is referred to as the "great imitator" for a reason! Recieving an accurate diagnosis for it can be tricky, but one thing I know for sure—people don't seek help for symptoms that aren't real.
If you're experiencing multiple symptoms that seem like they may link to Lyme disease, I'd love to help you find relief. Visit premierhealthandholisticmedicine.com/lymerecovery to schedule a consultation today!

How do you contract Lyme?
Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness. Ticks usually wait for a new host on the underside of low-lying shrubs and grass, often along the boundary between grass and the forest. In order to catch Lyme in it's early stages, a careful search for ticks after spending time outdoors is very useful!
If you do find that you've been bitten by a tick, it's important to be attentive to symptoms and contact your local Lyme specialist to help treat any possible signs of the disease.

The Startling Truth About Lyme Disease:
A negative test does not necessarily mean you do not have the disease.
Lyme is often referred to as the great imitator; looking like many other health problems. With difficulty testing the disease accurately, many people are misdiagnosed with such conditions as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, autism, MS and ALS.
If you suspect you have Lyme but have tested negative, contact Dr. Ridinger to discuss your options and get to the root of your symptoms!
