The teeth are such an important picture of our overall health!

If your teeth are gray or discoloured, this could be a sign of kidney imbalance. For this, I like to use an herb called Uva Ursi. You can find it by clicking on the link in my bio and heading to Supreme Nutrition Products.

We tend to think of them as a separate feature of the body, but your teeth are the window to your overall health in Chinese Medicine. Google “neurological tooth chart” for more on this!

This is a clip from a video I did on the health of the teeth in my membership. If you want to see what that’s all about you can find the link in my bio to join free for 15 days!

It was a pleasure to have my mentor Dr. Michael Lebowitz (founder of ) on the Ancient Health Podcast. I always learn something new when I talk to him.

During a fascinating discussion around treating mood difficulties, he brought up an amino acid called L-Tyrosine, a mood booster that helps us manage our stress. It’s especially effective for women in his experience.

You can eat your Tyrosine - you’ll get it from meat, dairy, fish, eggs, nuts, beans and wheat - and it can be supplemented.

Let’s keep the conversation going; Practitioners, have you used this with patients?

If you’ve used this for yourself, leave a comment and tell us your experience!

Here are a few of my top herbal infection killers for liver-related infections:

🌿Uva Ursi: We know this is great for the kidneys, but it’s also an excellent fighter of Mycobacterium, plus infections like E-coli and Salmonella.

🌿Golden Thread: This herb fights Aspergillus, and it also addresses E-coli and even Candida.

If you’re fighting any of these infections, comment INFECTIONS for links!

Do you have a toxic individual (a boss, a relative) in your life?

Dr. Aimee Raupp - a leading fertility expert and Chinese Medicine practitioner who I admire - is on the podcast today connecting the dots between fertility and a safe nervous system.

This is powerful because choosing to surround ourselves with life-giving energy is vital to our health in so many unexpected ways. If someone or something in our lives brings immense stress and chaos, we need to think carefully about how we can protect our energy and choose healing.

If this rings true for you then as Aimee says here, there’s no blame or shame - the last thing you need is to feel like your fertility struggles are your fault! - but don’t miss this episode because we have practical suggestions for healing your nervous system: EFT Tapping, speaking your truth and other healing exercises.

When it comes to trauma, our bodies keep the score. But when we face that trauma, it can change our health outcomes, and our whole lives. This can be hard to do, so I think one powerful way to support ourselves through this is leaning into our spirituality.

If you have a higher source, there is real power in prayer.

This clip is from episode 489 of the Ancient Health Podcast with my friend Lizzie Blake. We talked about the powerful energy of prayer in times of crisis, and the ways tapping into prayer can help during (and after) traumatic events.

If you’re in the middle of gut issues, try these herbs for supporting your small intestines:

🌿Vidanga Supreme(not wise for pregnancy!)
🌿Morinda Supreme

For links, please comment GUTS and I’ll send you links to these herbals. Remember, always look into them thoroughly (it’s so important to be your own health detective), and, because every person has different needs, you’ll want to run them by your primary care provider.

Always be extra cautious with anything you take while pregnant and breastfeeding (Supreme Nutrition Products also have information on their website about what not to take if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding: www.supremenutritionproducts.com).

If you’d like more tips on dealing with diarrhea, check out Episode 488 of the Ancient Health Podcast. Leave a comment saying APPLE, SPOTIFY or YOUTUBE, however you like your podcasts.

Can you bend down and touch your toes? Do you have tight hamstrings?

For me, this is a clue that a patient’s colon and intestinal areas may need attention.

Here’s a tip for releasing your fascia to support your energy here. This will help if you have diarrhea or a constant urge to go:

Dig your finger (gently!) right in underneath your belly button, and rub, in a circular pattern, 30 seconds to a minute.

Remember, your gut issues won’t heal all in one go. So try doing this consistently, and use it as one tool in your toolkit.

Over on the podcast, we’re digging into how to treat diarrhea, so if you want more tips like this, you can get a link to the episode if you leave a comment with your go-to platform (Apple, Spotify, or YouTube) and I’ll DM you the link.💬

Here’s what I’ve found to be true in my 20+ years practicing; if you have unexplained symptoms, more often than not, it could speak to a hidden infection.

Three main common infections I’ve seen:

Strep
Epstein-Barr
Herpes virus of some sort

If you can’t find answers to your symptoms I would recommend asking your practitioner to test for one of these three. I personally love https://vibrant-wellness.com/ for testing.

One of the most common symptoms to look out for? I’m not trying to be graphic, but in my experience it comes down to your bladder control and bowel movements. If you’re struggling with either of these, that’s a major potential sign that your body may be fighting infection.

If you’d be interested in more information on these infections, let me know below. 💚

What if you have Lyme disease while pregnant? First, we don’t want to create fear for you. You can get through this and, as Dr. Eboni says, some women even feel better while pregnant.

Always work with your doctor or practitioner, and find a Lyme-literate specialist if you can.

Immune support is key: good food, rest, as much sleep as you can, time spent in sunshine and being good to yourself. Dr. Eboni (whose an expert on Lyme. Seriously, she’s President-Elect of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society) advises probiotics to provide that extra optimization of the gut.

Lyme is a master of disguise. It can look like an autoimmune condition, or chronic fatigue. My guest Dr. Eboni Cornish has even had patient with diagnosed psychiatric disorders that turned out to be tied to Lyme disease!

Dr. Eboni is associate director of Amen Clinics and the President Elect of ILADS, and Lyme’s impact on the brain is basically her specialty. Check out Episode 487 of the Ancient Health Podcast for an enlightening (and extremely hope-filled!) conversation on brain infections.
