Dr. Bono and Rosemary would like to extend their thanks to everyone who joined them at NITE Speaks last weekend. It was a fantastic event, filled with knowledge and inspiration from a talented lineup of speakers. A special shout out to the team at Naturopathic Institute of Therapies & Education for their outstanding hospitality – you made it all possible.

We know that everyone left with fresh insights and new perspectives. As for Dr. Bono and Rosemary, they’re already brainstorming and planning their presentations for next year's NITE Speaks on November 13th, 2026.

If you couldn't make it this year, don't miss out next time.

“There is no such thing as a painless lesson… you can’t gain anything without losing something first... Although if you can endure the pain and walk away from it, you’ll find that you have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle…” - Edward Elric (FMA:B)

I love this quote because, well, it's true. We must be willing to lose something in order to gain something new. This is true whether it is Spring Cleaning, Feng Shui, Relationships, or anything else. Old patterns, items, and people that no longer serve, or hold you back, must go in order for the new to arrive so that you can continue your healing, growth, etc.

Did you know that parasites can impact men’s fertility?

It is well studied that parasites can have negative impacts on hormone balance and physical health in a number of ways for both men and women. In this particular case, there is one parasite that attacks s***m directly as a food source. Have you ever heard of Toxoplasma gondii? It doesn’t come from Gondor; rather, it comes from infected foods and primarily cats. It is spread through their litter box eliminations, so when we love on our beloved feline companions and they aren’t completely clean after using the litter box, we can become exposed. As they grow, they can cause all kinds of problems within the human body. For men, they can spread to the Te**es and damage the S***m which decreases S***m count and quality.

What can we do?
1. Make sure that your feline companions are regularly cleansed for parasites and eating as healthy as possible. You may consult your Veterinarian for this, or if you are looking for natural options, contact us and we can point you in the right direction.
2. Cleanse yourself of parasites and support the Blood-Testis Barrier so that they can’t get to your S***m as easily. The simplest ways are to eat cleanly, drink plenty of clean water, get restful sleep, use clean products, and shield yourself EMFs as best you can. We live in a dynamic world with innumerable ways to interact with poisons and parasites though, so this can get complicated.
3. Contact us at LEVEL UP WELLNESS. Dr. Michael Bono is Naturopathic Doctor with a focus on Men’s Health.

Happy Saturday everyone and Happy November 1st! As we dive deeper into the cozy autumn months, the holidays are just around the corner. That means, for many of us, it's time to start thinking about homemade dishes that bring comfort and joy to the table.

For me, one of the highlights is my wife’s slow-cooked cranberry sauce with a touch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange. Another favorite is herb-roasted chicken paired with homemade gravy.

So, what about you? What’s your go-to dish to make from scratch for the holidays?

Last Saturday, October 25th and 26th, the Embassy of Life Mastery hosted its 4th Eyes Wide Open Conference. This conference hosted brilliant speakers who offered solutions for some of the most significant challenges facing health and freedom today. Was it heavy information, yes... were the solutions equally significant, I would argue that the solutions were even greater. We don't always see the forest for the trees around us.

Several of the attendees came up to me and asked excellent questions following my presentation on challenges facing male fertility as well. I was glad to meet each of them.

Thank you to Dr. Baker and the The Embassy of Life Mastery for inviting me to share my research into Men's Health and shed some light on the challenges and, more importantly, the solutions.

Naturopathy is a system of healthcare that focuses on the root cause of Dis-Ease and the restoration of homeostasis to the whole person, including the mental, emotional, and electromagnetic aspects of the person. This system of healthcare utilizes non-invasive forms of assessment such as Tongue analysis, Pulse analysis, Iridology, Sclerology, Live Blood Cell Analysis, Facial Analysis, Nail Analysis, and many others in order to identify nutrient imbalances, stressed or weakened organs, structural imbalances, and more. Naturopathy leverages the power of Nature to help restore the body to balance. Examples include Light, Water, Temperature, Food, Herbs, Essential Oils, Homeopathy, Manual Manipulation such as Chiropractic and Massage, and more. This system does not force biological processes within the body; rather, it facilitates a restoration to natural rhythms.

Many clients are astonished to learn how their own body is providing outward indications of internal imbalances. They are often further surprised as to how their physical ailments can correlate to emotional disturbances that remain unresolved. Then, when educated on the solutions and how sometimes simple adjustments in routine can have a monumental impact on their health, clients are either relieved or quite angry that they suffered for years due to something potentially quite simple.

The key to all of this, and what makes Naturopathy so powerful, is that each person is looked at as an individual. Yes, there are sometimes programs or protocols that are widely applicable; however, they usually only go so far.

You are one of one. As a Naturopathic Doctor within the field of Naturopathy, Dr. Michael Bono sees you as such.
