When it comes to supporting cervical health and helping the body naturally clear HPV, targeted supplementation can make all the difference. Here are a few essentials I often recommend as part of a holistic protocol:

✨ CCDG Blend by Vitanica – A powerhouse formula with Curcumin, DIM, Green Tea Extract, and Turkey Tail Mushroom to protect cervical cells and streamline support for healthy estrogen metabolism, antioxidant defense, and immune balance.
✨ Immune Symmetry by Vitanica – Combines key nutrients like Zinc + Vitamin C with immune-supportive herbs such as Echinacea to fortify your natural defenses. Remember: healthy cervical cells start with a strong immune system.
✨ 5-MTHF 5mg by Thorne – The active form of Folate (B9) that’s crucial for DNA repair, healthy cell division, and cervical tissue integrity.
✨ ImmunoKinoko 750 by QOL Labs (AHCC) – A medicinal mushroom extract shown to enhance immune function and support the body in clearing persistent infections, including HPV.

🌿 Protocol Duration:
Most patients take these at full strength for 3–6 months before transitioning to maintenance, always alongside diet, lifestyle, and sometimes localized support (like suppositories). Supplements are powerful, but they work best as part of a comprehensive holistic plan.

Your body has the ability to heal — the right support simply helps unlock that potential.

🌿Naturopathic Pro Tip

Your immune system is your body’s first line of defense against viruses like HPV. When it’s strong and supported, it has the power to:
✨ Naturally clear the virus
✨ Protect cervical cells
✨ Reduce the risk of progression

This is why immune health is at the heart of any holistic approach to cervical wellness. 🌸

Small daily choices - nourishing foods, stress management, quality sleep, and targeted nutrients - can make a powerful difference.

Your body is designed to heal. Supporting your immune system helps it do just that.

Shiitake mushrooms aren’t just delicious — they’re packed with compounds like beta-glucans and lentinan that help strengthen immune defenses, support healthy cell function, and promote overall vitality. ✨

Here’s why they’re amazing:
🌟 Boost immune response against viruses + pathogens
🌿 Support healthy gut bacteria (key for immunity!)
⚡ Provide B vitamins + minerals for energy + resilience

Think of them as both food and medicine — nourishing your body while fortifying your defenses. 💪

Have you tried incorporating shiitake into your meals (or as a supplement) for immune support?

Did you know? ✨

Conventional approaches to cervical dysplasia often focus on removing abnormal cells - but not on the underlying HPV infection itself. This is why so many women find themselves stuck in a cycle of recurrence.

The truth is: your body has an innate ability to clear HPV and restore healthy cervical cells - when it’s given the right support. 🌿💪

My holistic protocol is designed to:
✔️ Support natural viral clearance
✔️ Strengthen cervical cell integrity
✔️ Reduce the risk of recurrence

Your healing journey doesn’t have to feel like a revolving door of procedures. 💛

Pro Tip for Sneaky Greens!

Want to introduce green powder to your toddler without the mealtime drama? Start small. Like... tiny pinch small.

Mix it into something they already love — oatmeal, smoothies, or a little non-dairy milk (my go-to!). The key is subtlety — so they don’t even notice it’s there. 😏

Once their taste buds adjust, you can slowly bump up the amount. A gentle way to boost nutrients without the fuss. 🌱💚

☀️🌊 Toddler Beach & Sun Safety Essentials 🌿👶

Keeping my little one safe from the elements is just as important to me as feeding him nourishing food — especially when it comes to sun protection and beach days!

Here are a few of our go-to, non-toxic beach essentials:

🌞 Mineral Sunscreen:
We love Thinkbaby sunscreen — it’s mineral-based, non-toxic, and sits on the skin (rather than being absorbed) to physically block UV rays. It’s gentle enough for sensitive toddler skin and provides long-lasting coverage for all-day play.

🩲 Reusable Swim Diapers:
Alva Baby reusable swim diapers are our beach favorite. They’re eco-conscious, adorable, and super easy to use. At home, we mostly use cloth diapers, so this fits right into our routine.

🌿 Better Disposable Options (for travel):
When we need a disposable, Dyper is our brand of choice. They're made with plant-based materials and free from harsh chemicals — a more sustainable and baby-safe option when cloth isn’t practical.

Protecting their skin and our planet can go hand-in-hand. 🌍💛

Why I Love Adding Basil to Toddler Meals

Basil isn’t just for grown-up pasta dishes — it’s a toddler-friendly herb that packs a nutritional punch in a tiny leaf! 🙌

This fragrant green is rich in antioxidants, vitamin K, and anti-inflammatory compounds, which can support your little one’s immune system and overall health. It also aids digestion, making it great for those tiny tummies still adjusting to a variety of foods. 💚

✨ How I Use It:

▪️Blended into pesto with olive oil and h**p seeds
▪️Finely chopped and stirred into scrambled eggs or soups
▪️Mixed into veggie purees or grain bowls for a fresh, flavorful twist

A little goes a long way — and most kids love the gentle, slightly sweet taste. Plus, exposing toddlers to fresh herbs early helps build their palate naturally. 🌱

Traveling with a toddler? Nutrition doesn’t have to take a backseat just because you’re on the go. Here’s how I keep my little one well-fed and nourished—even when routines are off:

🥜 Portable Nut Butters – Justin’s almond & peanut butter packs are lifesavers. I mix them into cereal or blend them with veggies (when I can) for a tasty, calorie-dense boost.

🍫 Kid-Friendly Bars – Lara Bars (especially the cashew flavor) are a go-to for clean ingredients and allergen exposure—always under pediatric guidance, of course.

🌱 Greens in a Pinch – No blender? No problem. Greens First powder travels easily and adds a veggie boost to non-dairy milk without the added vitamins/minerals overload.

🥛 Ripple Milk Minis – High in protein and calcium, these are perfect for my dairy-free kiddo. The convenience is worth it when we’re on the move.

🍎 Fruit & Veggie Pouches – Whole Foods brand blends (like mango-banana-avocado-kale!) are a reliable option for quick, no-mess nutrition on the go.

Whether it’s a road trip or a long-haul flight, packing smart helps keep everyone nourished and happy. 💼👶🌍

“My toddler is a picky eater — help!”

You're not alone! Picky eating is a totally normal part of toddlerhood. The good news? There are simple strategies that really help:
1. Pair new foods with familiar favorites
2. Get them involved in meal prep (even tiny tasks!)
3. Remember: it can take many tries for a child to accept a new food

And if you're tired of tossing untouched meals… meet your new best friend: the freezer! ❄️
Pop uneaten portions into metal ice cube trays and try again in a few weeks. You might be surprised by how their taste changes. 👶💚

Patience + consistency = progress. You've got this!

Looking for egg-free & dairy-free baby food ideas that are actually nutritious and toddler-approved?

Here are some of my go-to staples that support brain development, digestion, and those picky taste buds:

🥣 Three Wishes Cereal – A sugar-free, protein-rich cereal that skips the rice and is perfect for pincer grip practice! 🙌

🥥 Cocoyo Coconut Yogurt – Clean ingredients + probiotics = win! We mix it with wheat germ, h**p seeds, fruit, or even leftover grains like quinoa.

💛 Baby Fats! – Healthy fats are key for development. We love adding chia seeds, h**p seeds, and nut butters (like almond or peanut) to everything from oatmeal to broccoli. Yes, broccoli + almond butter = oddly delicious!

🥛 Ripple Kids Milk – A dairy-free milk alternative that’s high in protein and calcium with no added sugar. Great in smoothies or on its own.

🐟 Wild Planet Sardines – Packed with omega-3s and low in mercury, these are a surprising hit! We mash them with avocado or sweet potato for a toddler-friendly twist.

🌾 Grain Swaps – Instead of rice (due to arsenic concerns), we use quinoa, millet, buckwheat, and amaranth. They're full of nutrients and work great when mixed with mashed fruits or veggies for a baby-friendly texture.

💡 Whether your little one has allergies or you’re just keeping things clean, these options are nourishing, practical, and loved in our home.

This August 14, we're diving deep into the topic of women and ADHD with the brilliant Alexis Pace, founder of ARIA Neurofeedback and specialist in Neurofeedback.

Alexis is an artist and entrepreneur who, after decades of struggling with undiagnosed ADHD, anxiety, and depression, found a transformative solution in NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback. This gentle process helped her reset her nervous system and fully embrace her true self.

In this live event, we'll discuss:

📈 Why ADHD diagnoses in women are on the rise.
Alexis will explain why many women are only now getting diagnosed, often after a lifetime of masking their symptoms.

👩‍⚕️ The personal journey of living with undiagnosed ADHD.
Alexis will share her own story of being the "inattentive type" and how it led to a misdiagnosis of depression.

🧠 Why Executive Function is a more helpful focus than hyperactivity.
We'll explore how challenges with planning, time management, and emotional regulation can lead to exhaustion.

💡 Solutions beyond medication.
Alexis will share her top "ADHD Hacks" and explain why NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback was a game-changer for her.
