Sometimes on a Sunday, I like to steep Organic Dandelion Root and drink it all day long. Not only this study is showing promise in this natural plant, but God gave us dandelions in the spring because they are great for detoxing the liver. Spring is the time for detoxing the body from a long winter. Harvest your own roots in the fall but for God's sake, stop killing them with pesticides!

🌿🔬 A groundbreaking study from the University of Windsor in Canada has shown that dandelion root extract can kill up to 95% of certain cancer cells within just 48 hours, without harming healthy cells. Researchers focused on leukemia and colon cancer cell lines and observed a process called apoptosis, or programmed cell death, triggered by the extract—something chemotherapy often struggles to achieve selectively.

This discovery has sparked growing interest in the use of natural, plant-based compounds in cancer therapy. Dandelion root, once dismissed as a simple w**d, is now undergoing deeper clinical trials to assess its potential as a non-toxic, affordable cancer treatment. It’s a powerful reminder that nature may already hold the answers to some of our biggest medical challenges—hidden in plain sight.

When I see animal products endorsed by the American Veterinary Medical Association, I pretty much avoid it. ALWAYS read the label.

Here is an example:
Royal Canin food for Renal Support - the first listed ingredients.
Brewers Rice, Corn, Wheat Gluten, Chicken Fat, Pork Digest, Pea Fiber, Corn Gluten Meal, Natural Flavors, Dried Chicory Root, Fish Oil, Calcium Carbonate, Vegetable Oil

Corn is one of the MOST inflammatory foods for both humans and animals. Cats and dogs do not eat corn as part of their ancestral diet. It's a filler. Makes your animal look fat which is interpreted as "healthy". AVOID any food with corn gluten meal, and corn. Vegetable oil (just like humans) inflames arteries because it is so processed.

"Natural flavors" is unregulated. Could be anything. This is expensive food. There are so much better choices. 🐈‍⬛🦙

Ripening your cervix helps prepare you for labor! In this study, mothers used different methods of application and all received better Bishop scores (scoring which shows how ready your cervix is for induction purposes). Soft gels can be inserted at night and work as you sleep! I carry soft gels in my studio! Reach out if you are in need. NOTE: wait until 37 to 38 weeks to use evening primrose oil.

The results of various studies on the effect of evening primrose oil (EPO) on cervical ripening are controversial. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the effect of EPO on cervical ripening and birth outcomes. The ...

For years, pregnancy nutrition has been framed as something that only matters for nine months. But the research tells a very different story.
A growing body of evidence shows that metabolic health begins in utero (and arguably, preconception) — and that what a mother eats during pregnancy can influence her child’s health not just at birth or in early childhood, but all the way into adulthood.
Roughly two years ago, I presented at the Metabolic Health Summit, a conference full of incredible research and clinical insights from leading experts in the health field. I finally carved out the time to share some highlights of that presentation in written format, which I titled (no surprise) “Metabolic Health Starts In Utero.”
This concept, known as fetal programming, has been a through-line in my work for decades. From early exposure to ancestral nutrition research to years spent working clinically in gestational diabetes and high-risk pregnancies, I’ve seen firsthand how blood sugar balance and micronutrient status during pregnancy shape long-term outcomes.
In this new article, I break down:
• What fetal programming actually means (and where that concept originated)
• Why blood sugar matters, but isn’t the whole story
• How protein and fat support baby’s development
• How key micronutrients help “build” lifelong metabolic and brain health for baby
…and more.
If this topic is new to your friends or colleagues, please share—it’s a clear, research-backed primer on why pregnancy nutrition matters long after birth.

"If you don’t trust your provider to give you quality care or treat you with respect, it’s time to find a new one."

“That’s a power that we, as patients, often forget we have, “Remember: You’re the most important person in the room in any appointment.”
