🚨 PROPER HYDRATION ISN’T JUST ABOUT WATER — IT’S ABOUT SURVIVAL 🚨


💦 Did you know that every drop of sweat you lose contains:
🔹 11 vitamins
🔹 11 minerals
🔹 17 amino acids

😳 When you sweat — from sports, work, saunas, manual labor intensive jobs, hot yoga, etc — and don’t replenish what’s lost… the results can be dangerous, even deadly.

🔥 HEAT STROKE, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART ATTACKS — these are often triggered by one silent culprit: excessive sweating without proper replenishment.

💔 Sudden cardiac death is a real and rising threat—especially among high school & college athletes, even right here in . This is NOT just rare, it's underrecognized.

⚠️ MAGNESIUM: The #1 mineral lost in sweat
Your hypothalamus (the brain's thermostat) needs magnesium to regulate your core body temperature. Without it? Your body can’t cool down, and core temperature spikes dangerously. You also need it so that calcium does not become overbearing in your body leading to your muscles to stay contracted which can cause muscle cramps, high blood pressure, heart attacks, etc.

With that information you may find it very odd that Gatorade (which is full of processed sugar by the way), is often recommended to athletes to stay hydrated but there is ZERO magnesium in it.

💧 Water Alone Is NOT Enough.
🚫 Water has no minerals, no vitamins, no amino acids.
✅ You need electrolytes to actually get water into your cells.
✅ You need a full-spectrum replenishment to stay safe and perform well.

Think: 🧂Sodium | 🧲 Magnesium | 💚 Potassium | 💥 Amino acids | ⚡ B-vitamins

💥 Real Prevention Starts with Real Replenishment.
Don’t wait for a crisis. Hydrate intelligently.

📍 Let’s keep strong, safe, and informed.

🚨 REAL TALK ABOUT SWEAT 🚨

If you’re dealing with funky body odor 😖… it’s not just about deodorant. It could be your body screaming:
“I’m full of toxins and don’t know where to put them!” 🧪

When your detox pathways (like the liver, lymph, and gut) get backed up, your body starts pushing toxins out through the skin — and YES, that includes sweat and rashes! 😬👕💦

➡️ No sweat at all? That’s not good either. It could mean your detox pathways are so sluggish that your body can’t even get toxins out. Think of it like a traffic jam 🚧 in your lymphatic system — nothing’s moving, and everything’s backing up. 🛑

🔥 Enter: Infrared Sauna.
Unlike a traditional steam sauna, which mainly helps with cardiovascular support 💓, infrared heat penetrates deeper into tissues — helping release heavy metals, chemicals, and stored gunk from deep inside your cells. 🧼🧬

💥 Skin rashes? Acne flares? Eczema-like spots?
Often, that’s your skin stepping in as a “backup detox organ” when the main exit routes are jammed. Don’t just treat the surface — address the root cause. 🌱

✨ Support your detox naturally:
✔️ Sweat regularly (preferably with infrared!)
✔️ Drink CLEAN water 💧
✔️ Eat fiber-rich whole foods 🥦
✔️ Move your body 🚶‍♀️
✔️ Dry brush + lymphatic massage 🤲
✔️ Support liver health with herbs & nutrients 🌿

Your body is wise — symptoms are messages, not mistakes. 💬💡

👀Looking for a good quality infrared sauna? Check this at home infrared sauna down below. It is simple, just lay in it like a snuggie and it will do the rest. I use this device personally as a very effective tool for detoxing mold toxins🦠(mycotoxins). Use code GRUBISH15 at checkout for a 15% off discount!

🌿 Elderberry: My #1 Flu Fighter! 💪💚

Flu season is here, Licking County — and if you're feeling run down with body aches, chills, or that telltale sore throat... don’t sleep on Elderberry (Sambucus nigra)! 🌬️🤧

This powerful purple berry is one of my top herbal go-to’s when a viral infection hits — especially influenza.

💥 What makes Elderberry amazing?
➡️ Antiviral superstar – Elderberry can inhibit the replication of the flu virus and may reduce the severity & duration of symptoms.
➡️ Immune modulating – It supports your natural immune response without overstimulating.
➡️ Rich in antioxidants – Helps combat inflammation and oxidative stress when your body’s in fight mode.
➡️ Tastes delicious – Which means even kids love elderberry syrup! 😋🍇

📅 Best when taken at the first sign of symptoms — but also great for daily immune support during peak season.

🌱 You can find it as:
🔹 Syrup
🔹 Gummies
🔹 Lozenges
🔹 Tinctures

Pro tip: Look for sugar-free or low-sugar options and products without artificial preservatives. And always choose organic when possible! ✅

💚Reminder: If you have autoimmune issues or take immune-suppressing meds, check with your provider before using elderberry.

Stay warm, rest up, and let nature help you heal. 🌙🛏️✨

💪 How STRONG is your grip? It might seem like a small thing… but it could tell you a LOT about your overall health—and even how long you might live. 😲

🔥 Grip strength is one of the best predictors of total body strength, functional independence, AND longevity. Research shows that weaker grip strength is linked with higher risk of chronic illness, slower recovery, and even earlier mortality. 💀➡️

👋 But here’s the good news: GRIP STRENGTH is trainable—and testable!

📏 How to test it?
A hand grip dynamometer is the gold standard tool 👊
It’s quick, easy, and gives you a snapshot of your current strength levels.

Here’s what’s considered “good” grip strength (dominant hand) based on s*x & age:

Men (lbs):
✅ 20–29: 90–100+
✅ 30–39: 85–95
✅ 40–49: 80–90
✅ 50–59: 75–85
✅ 60+: 65–80+

Women (lbs):
✅ 20–29: 55–65+
✅ 30–39: 50–60
✅ 40–49: 45–55
✅ 50–59: 40–50
✅ 60+: 35–45+

(Note: these are averages—building strength at any age is possible!)

🧠 Why does it matter? Grip strength is a proxy for overall muscle quality, nervous system health, metabolic reserve, and resilience. Strong grip = strong body = strong LIFE! 🌟

🏋️‍♀️ Want to boost yours?
Start with resistance training, farmer’s carries, dead hangs, and functional movements. And if you’re local, check in with a provider or gym that can test your grip and help you build it! 💥

📍 Licking County friends—let’s age strong and stay resilient together!

🌟 FEELING TIRED… ALL. THE. TIME? 😴✨
You are so not alone — and fatigue is often your body’s way of waving a little flag 🏳️ saying, “Hey… something needs support!”

Here are some of the most common root-cause reasons people feel drained — even when life “shouldn’t” feel that exhausting:

🔥 Inflammation overload — when your body is constantly putting out fires, your energy tank drops fast.

🦠 Hidden infections — including chronic viruses (Long-Haul COVID, Epstein-Barr Virus, etc.), gut imbalances, or even oral issues like root canals, gum disease, or cavitations that stress the immune system.

🤧 Allergies + sensitivities — seasonal, chemical, food… your immune system works overtime!

😵‍💫 Stress (even the “good” kind!) — mental, emotional, or physical stress taxes the adrenals and your energy production pathways.

🌙 Poor or interrupted sleep — your mitochondria (your energy factories) can’t recharge.

⚖️ Metabolic imbalances — blood sugar swings, insulin resistance, or sluggish mitochondria all mean less fuel for your day.

🥦 Nutrient deficiencies — low iron, B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin D, electrolytes, omega-3s… energy needs building blocks!

📡 EMFs — for some people, constant exposure contributes to sleep disruption, oxidative stress, and fatigue.

🌫️ Mold (mycotoxins) and/or environmental toxins — in the air, water, food, cleaning products, or workplaces. Your detox pathways get overwhelmed = energy crash.

🏋️‍♀️ Over-training — more isn’t always better! Too much intensity + not enough recovery = burnout.

🔄 Hormone imbalances — thyroid, adrenals, s*x hormones (testosterone), blood sugar hormones… all deeply tied to how much energy you can make.

💧 Dehydration — even mild dehydration slows cellular energy.

💭 Emotional load — grief, chronic worry, or unprocessed emotions can drain the nervous system just as much as physical stress.

AND TONS MORE REASONS BEYOND THIS LIST!

✨The good news?
Fatigue is not a personality trait — it’s a signal. And when you start supporting the root causes, energy often begins to come back in a BIG way. 🌱🔥

If you’re feeling run-down, you deserve to feel better — and exploring these underlying factors is a powerful first step. 💪💚

🧬 MEN — Let’s Talk S***m Health 💥
Fertility isn’t just a “women’s issue” — over 50% of fertility challenges involve male factors, and low s***m count or poor quality is more common than you think. The good news? There’s a lot you can do about it. 🔍

👇 Here's what we need to look at when assessing s***m health:

✅ Count – Total number of s***m per ej*****te
✅ Motility – How well s***m swim 🏊
✅ Morphology – Shape and structure 🧠🦠
✅ Inflammation – Often overlooked, but it impacts everything 🔥

👉 S***m are sensitive little dudes, and modern life is not kind to them. Common root causes of poor s***m health include:

⚠️ High sugar intake / insulin resistance and alcohol consumption
⚠️ Sedentary lifestyle & lack of resistance training 🪑
⚠️ Low testosterone 🧪
⚠️ Toxin exposure (plastics, pesticides, heavy metals) ☣️
⚠️ Chronic stress 😫
⚠️ Infections (even low-grade) 🦠
⚠️ Trauma or varicocele
⚠️ Frequent heat exposure — laptops on the lap, hot tubs, saunas, tight underwear ♨️🩲

🛠️ Root-Cause Strategies That Actually Work:

🥩 Ancestral nutrition – Nutrient-dense foods like grass-fed liver, oysters, and yes… desiccated testicle can help restore what’s been lost 🐃👑
🏋️ Resistance training – Boosts testosterone & mitochondrial function naturally
🧊 Cold exposure – Brief cold plunges or cool packs may support testicular function
🌿 Targeted supplementation – Based on your labs, not guesses
🛏️ Sleep, stress resilience, and recovery – Foundational but powerful
🥦 Detox support – Crucial if you're dealing with environmental toxins

💡 Functional medicine is about personalized care, not cookie-cutter protocols. A comprehensive approach can make a HUGE difference in s***m quality and overall vitality.

🌿 Struggling With Infertility? We know this type of pain and frustration while in the waiting period.

Here’s the Holistic Side No One Talks About

Infertility is rarely caused by just one thing. For so many women and couples, it’s a combination of hidden stressors, hormone imbalances, immune dysfunction, and environmental triggers that create the “perfect storm.”

Here are some of the most common contributors that we see:

✨ PCOS & Endometriosis – Hormone imbalances, inflammation, and disrupted ovulation can make conception challenging.
✨ Immune System Dysfunction – An overactive or confused immune system can interfere with implantation or early pregnancy.
✨ Antiphospholipid Syndrome & Clotting Issues – These can affect blood flow to the uterus and placenta.
✨ Toxins (like mold) – Chronic exposure can disrupt hormones, weaken the immune system, and affect egg & s***m quality.
✨ Stress & Nervous System Dysregulation – Chronic stress can shut down ovulation and disrupt progesterone production.
✨ Egg Quality + S***m Quality – Both matter. And both are heavily influenced by inflammation, toxins, oxidative stress, and nutrition.
✨ Progesterone Deficiency – Essential for ovulation, implantation, and early pregnancy.
✨ Underlying Infections – Viral, bacterial, or stealth infections can affect hormones and immune balance.

Infertility isn’t “your body being broken.”
It’s your body sending signals that something deeper needs support. ❤️

⸻

🌿 Let’s Talk About Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) 🦠💥

Did you know that over 90% of people have been exposed to Epstein-Barr Virus at some point in their lives? 😲 It’s the same virus that causes mono (aka "the kissing disease") — but for many, it doesn’t stop there. EBV can go dormant in your body like an app running silently in the background... and under the right (or wrong) conditions, it can reactivate.

🧬 Think of your DNA like a computer. Once you’ve had a virus, a digital trace of it sticks around — like downloaded software. It doesn’t always cause issues... until your immune system gets compromised. 😩

🚨 Triggers for EBV reactivation include:
✨ High stress
✨ Poor sleep
✨ Sugar-heavy diet 🍬
✨ Toxin exposure (hello, mold 🦠, pesticides, heavy metals)
✨ Gut dysfunction
✨ Co-infections (like Lyme, Candida, or parasites)

When reactivated, EBV can contribute to a host of symptoms and chronic conditions, including:
🔹 Chronic fatigue 😴
🔹 Brain fog 🧠💨
🔹 Swollen lymph nodes 🦠
🔹 Joint & muscle pain 🦴
🔹 Autoimmune flares (Hashimoto’s, lupus, etc.) 🔥
🔹 Cardiovascular issues ❤️
🔹 Hormonal imbalances 😵‍💫
🔹 Gut issues like IBS, bloating, or food sensitivities 🍽
🔹 Mood swings, anxiety, and depression 😟

💪 The GOOD NEWS? You can push EBV back into remission naturally by supporting your body from the inside out.

✨ EBV-Supportive Strategies:
🥦 Anti-inflammatory, low-sugar diet
🍄 Medicinal mushrooms
🌱 Immune-supportive herbs
🧠 Nervous system support (GET ADJUSTED!!)
🏡 Mold & toxin remediation
🧘🏼‍♀️ Stress reduction (breathwork, yoga, nature walks in Licking County parks!)
🛏 Prioritizing deep, restorative sleep
🌞 Sunshine & Vitamin D support
🧪 Functional labs to look deeper at viral load, immune function & toxin exposure

🌻 Healing is possible — but we need to look upstream to uncover why your body is overwhelmed in the first place.

📍If you’re in Licking County, Ohio, and feeling exhausted, inflamed, or stuck in a cycle of mystery symptoms — don’t ignore the whispers of your immune system. There could be more going on beneath the surface.

✨ Your body is wise. Let’s work with it — not against it. 💚

🚰💖 UNDERAPPRECIATED SUPERHERO ORGANS: YOUR KIDNEYS! 💖🚰

Think your kidneys just make p*e? Think again! 🧠💥 These bean-shaped beauties do WAY more than that—and their role in whole-body health is 🔑 essential.

Here’s what your kidneys are up to every day:

🧪 Filter ~50 gallons of blood DAILY
💧 Balance fluids & electrolytes (hello, sodium 🧂, potassium 🍌, calcium 🦴)
🩺 Regulate blood pressure & blood volume
🧬 Clear excess histamine (important in allergies & inflammation!)
🛡️ Detoxify your system (bye-bye, waste & toxins!)
🧂 Balance your pH (acid-base balance = critical for health)
💣 Remove urea, creatinine & byproducts of metabolism

✨ All this without a single conscious thought from you. Amazing, right?

🧫 How do you know your kidneys are working optimally?

Ask your provider about these labs:

📉 Creatinine – a basic kidney waste marker
📉 Cystatin C – more sensitive than creatinine, especially in early dysfunction
📊 GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) – estimates how well your kidneys are filtering
🧪 BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) – can reflect kidney and hydration status
🧂 Electrolyte Panel – checks sodium, potassium, chloride balance
📉 Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (ACR) – detects early kidney damage

😟 Why do kidneys get damaged in the first place?

Unfortunately, there are many silent saboteurs:

🍬 Blood sugar dysregulation / insulin resistance
💦 Chronic dehydration (don’t skip your water today!)
☣️ Mold toxicity & mycotoxins
🦠 Chronic infections (including Lyme/co-infections and fungal infections)
🔩 Heavy metal burden (like lead, mercury, cadmium)
🧂 Excessive NSAID use (ibuprofen, etc.)
🧬 Genetic factors like APOL1 or MTHFR polymorphisms

Your kidneys are resilient—but not invincible.

✅ Functional support tips:

💧 Stay well-hydrated with clean, mineral-rich water
🥬 Eat kidney-loving foods like celery, parsley, cranberries, and beets
🧘‍♀️ Practice stress reduction (chronic cortisol can raise BP & stress kidneys)
🍄 Support detox pathways: liver, lymph, AND kidneys need love
🧪 Consider functional testing if you’ve had chronic fatigue, infections, mold exposure, or metabolic issues
🩺 Work with a provider who thinks root cause 🔍 not just band-aid solutions

🧠 Your kidneys are central to histamine regulation, immune balance, and metabolic health—not just fluid & p*e! Show them some ❤️ today.

🌱 Small changes = BIG protection for long-term vitality.

🌿 LEAKY GUT: What It Is & Why It Matters 🌿
Also known as intestinal permeability, leaky gut is when the lining of your gut becomes too porous, letting toxins, microbes, undigested food particles, and chemicals sneak into the bloodstream. 🚨
This sets off your immune system like a fire alarm 🔥 and can lead to a cascade of symptoms that seem “unrelated”… but are all connected. THIS IS A BIG TRIGGER FOR AUTOIMMUNE ISSUES!

🔍 How Does Leaky Gut Develop?
Modern life isn’t kind to our gut barrier 😔

Here are common triggers:
🚜 Herbicides & Pesticides (think glyphosate in non-organic food)
🌾 Gluten (especially in those with genetic predisposition or microbiome imbalances)
🦠 Gut Infections (like parasites, SIBO, candida)
🏚️ Mold Toxicity (often hidden in homes, schools, or workplaces)
⚙️ Heavy Metals (from water, dental fillings, or industrial exposure)
💊 Medications (like NSAIDs, antibiotics, antacids)
🍺 Alcohol, 🌡️ chronic stress, and 🛌 poor sleep also contribute!

🤕 What Happens Next? FOOD ALLERGIES/SENSITIVITIES.
With a damaged gut lining, your immune system starts reacting to foods that used to be safe—especially commonly eaten ones like eggs, dairy, gluten, corn, soy, etc. 😬

🌀 Symptoms of Food Sensitivities from Leaky Gut:
⚡ Fatigue / burnout
🧠 Brain fog, poor focus, ADHD-like behavior
😰 Anxiety, OCD-like tendencies
💤 Trouble sleeping
💓 Heart palpitations or arrhythmias
🦴 Joint pain, muscle aches
😣 Gut issues: bloating, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, cramps
🌋 Skin problems: acne, eczema, rashes
⚡ Migraines & headaches
… and more. Everyone’s list is unique!

🛠️ What You Can Do (Start Here 👇)
✔️ Eat clean, organic when possible 🌱
✔️ Avoid processed food & inflammatory oils
✔️ Test for food sensitivities + gut pathogens (work with a functional provider!)
✔️ Prioritize sleep + stress management 😴🧘‍♀️
✔️ Heal your gut with nourishing foods, targeted supplements, and lifestyle balance

💬 Have you been told "your labs are normal" but you don’t feel normal?
👉 It might be time to look at your gut as the root of your symptoms.
