Back in the day when I worked in cardiology "normal" blood pressure numbers and cholesterol numbers were VERY different than they are today.
(Who created the "normal" values anyway? There's an interesting story behind that.)
As we age, blood pressure will begin rise. It takes a little more work to get the blood to where it needs to be.
If your pressure is rising ABOVE what the age related graphic shows, that may indicate a need for some extra support with kidneys and minerals. (the kidneys are largely responsible for your blood pressure anyway. This is because sodium and potassium become imbalanced.)
Creating a scare tactic of age related rising blood pressure has made the harmyousuitical industry a LOT of profits and leaves a lot of aging folks feeling pretty lousy. Low blood pressure creates brain fog, memory issues, weakness, fatigue, muscle cramps, no motivation, depression, indifference, dizziness, blurred vision and fainting.
Have you been told you have high blood pressure?
(I am NOT referring to very high blood pressure....this is POSITIVELY a NEED for mineral balancing.)

Just because you can't see it, smell it, or touch it does NOT mean it isn't affecting you! 👹
This technology is KNOWN to disrupt the health of animals and insects (you can still find that info on the internet). ☠️
If it negatively affects animals and insects....ummmm....🤔
The towers themselves emit radio microwaves but I believe the BIGGER issue are the fiberoptic wires that are underground. We're slowly being fried. 🍳
When electricity first came into cities, it made many people very sick because they weren't used to the new "frequencies". I believe the same is true now with the 2, 3, 4, 5, and even up to 10G waves. Humans, animals, and insects haven't been given a chance to acclimate to these new frequencies. 😵‍💫
As a result, humans are experiencing:
Brain fog
Lack of concentration or ability to focus
Fatigue/low energy
Lack of motivation
All manner of chronic conditions, weight gain, high inflammation, insomnia, blood sugar imbalances etc. 🥴
As I noted in previous posts, the trend I'm seeing in my office is a much greater need for the electrolyte minerals and other vital minerals. When taking the correct minerals for your unique situation, health is restored. 🥰
We aren't going to escape the movement forward with technology but we can assist our bodies so we can adapt.

Raise your hand if you've been given a medical diagnosis and not been given an answer about WHY you have whatever condition they named you with. ✋
I know I can raise my hand! It's why I left the field of "medicine" and came into the world of naturopathy (natural "medicine") 🌿
Named diseases are simply a collection of symptoms that present in a particular area of the body.
What causes symptoms? 🤔
If you answered "too much of something your body doesn't need OR not enough of something your body does need" YOU are correct! 💯
Either of these scenarios creates a stress response in the body and/or mind.
That stress response requires MORE nutrients for the cells to stay well. ⬆
Guess what those nutrients are...at the ROOT?
If you guessed "minerals and enzymes", you are correct! 💯
Your medical doctor is not testing you for minerals and enzymes (unless you have a heart attack or stroke) ❤
Your naturopath does!
There's no reason to suffer with ongoing symptoms. ☹
Why guess when you can test to be sure? 💯
Hair tissue mineral analysis and digestive support are the keys! 🔑🔑

Does this make me a scientist?!?!?!? 🥸
A little humor for the day. 😂😂😂

Have you ever looked at an "old" person and found out they were much younger than what they appear? 👴
What causes some folks to age rapidly and others who don't appear to age at all? 🤔
You could answer with "genetics" and you'd be partially right. The other part of that answer is "energy". 😇
What keeps our energy young? What is the secret? 🤫
Minerals and enzymes. 👍✨
The ability of YOUR body to digest and USE your food for cellular function, repair and maintenance is the key. 🗝
As our bodies begin to age, our nutrient needs go UP ⬆️ while our capability to use those nutrients goes down. ⬇️ It happens to ALL of us!
Finding your unique needs is very simple. I have 3 non-invasive options that are inexpensive, easy and can be done in person or remotely. 💻
All of the options come with recommendations based on your unique needs.
Many begin to see improvement within 3 weeks but resolution may take up to 6 months depending on your unique challenges. 🫵
Reach out if you'd like more info! 🥰

The Thymus Thump (also known as the happiness point) can boost your immune system, renew your energy, create calm in the midst of anxiety and neutralize negative energy. 😮
The simple technique to activate your thymus gland involves tapping, thumping or scratching on the thymus point. (highlighted in the picture) The thymus gland lies just beneath the upper part of the breastbone in the middle of the chest. One of the roles of the thymus gland is the housing of some important immune sustaining white blood cells. ✔
The thymus gland is also a link between the mind and the body so when there is an emotional or physical disturbance it can cause the thymus gland to shrink and create depletion in this vital life energy. Most of us have pretty small and shriveled up thymus glands. 🤏
How to stimulate your thymus gland:
Simply make a fist and thump your chest like Tarzan. Or rub softly or firmly or scratch with four fingers of your hand. Do this for about 20 seconds and breathe deeply in and out. You can also add an affirmation such as “all is well.”
You will know when you have activated the thymus gland as you will feel a little tingling or a subtle feeling of ‘joy’ or ‘happiness.’ For some people it may take a little time before you ‘feel’ anything. Persevere and you will get it! 💯
Get in the habit of thymus thumping every day to ensure your life energy and thymus gland is activated. ✨
Thump several times a day if you are suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, stress or if you feel like you're coming down with something. This simple activity will awaken your life energy!
How many of you already do the thymus thump? ✋

What you think about, you bring about.
When I was stuck in the sick care system, 🩺 I believed that the medical doctors knew best and the drugs they peddled would fix me. 💣
Once I started to question ⁉️ why the p(harmie) drugs weren't fixing things I was told I was depressed. Hmmmm....nope!
When I made the decision to take my health into my own hands was when the veil of deceit began to lift.
Considering a different perspective 🤔 doesn't mean you have to EMBRACE that new perspective but considering a different way often opens new doorways 🚪 to shed light🌟 on a situation you didn't previously have answers to.
I know for me, when I changed the way I was thinking, 🧠 (belief that a medical doctor knew my body best) and opened to a new way of seeing things, (nature and nurture heals) it changed my life for better. ✔
The more I remain open to new ideas and perspectives, the more enlightened I become! ✨
What perspective(s) 👀 have YOU changed? I'd love to hear your story!

For the last 2 years I've been seeing a strong trend in my office with nearly EVERYONE being deficient in vital minerals. Why? 🤔
Could it be from the increased electromagnetic frequencies from cell towers, computers, satellites, underground fiber optic wiring (it's everywhere!) etc? ⚡️
Could it be from the intense stress (emotional and physical) that we've all been under over the last several years? 🫨 Stress requires MORE minerals!
Could it be from our foods? Medications? 💊
I think the answer is 💯 "Yes" to all of the above. ⬆️
A Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a non-invasive test that provides information about your body's mineral balance using a small sample of hair from your head. ✂️
(If a person doesn't have any head hair, armpit or p***c hair is acceptable.)
This simple and painless test can provide information about more than 35 essential minerals and toxic heavy metals, as well as over 25 mineral ratios. 😮
Minerals work in balance with each other so the ratios are important!
It can indicate deficiencies or excesses of certain minerals, as well as reveal potential issues with mineral absorption or toxicity. 🥴
Why is this important to know? ❓
Mineral imbalances can occur BEFORE symptoms appear, and can lead to conditions such as depression, anxiety, hypertension, hormone imbalances, overweight, fatigue, insomnia, faster aging, hair loss, and diabetes. 😢
HTMA can provide a record of nutritional metabolic activity and mineral status.
Is your thyroid functioning well? How balanced are your hormones? Weight conditions and so much more can be determined with just a little bit of hair!
HTMA can also reflect the body's intracellular activity, which can be difficult to measure with bloodwork. How much energy does the cell have to work with? This requires minerals!🩸
With the information gleaned from your results, personalized dietary and supplementation plans can be developed to address your specific needs. 🍎🥑🥦
Remember, your mineral status influences the health of your cells. If your cells aren't happy, ain't nobody happy! 😁
If you'd like a HTMA please reach out!

What are you thinking about? ❓🧠
Many folks are thinking negative, fearful or self deprecating thoughts without even realizing it. 🫨
Do you know that fear weakens your immune system, impairs your kidneys and greatly slows your digestive system? 🛡💦👎
Frequent thoughts of self criticism causes all manner of chronic health imbalances.
Not only that, frequent negative thoughts DEPLETE your vital nutrients because negativity needs more energy. (once again, MINERALS!)
When you catch yourself in a negative thought process, stop and ask yourself what that thought is teaching you. Is that thought benefiting you? 🤔
If not, practice replacing it with a thought of gratitude. Over time, you'll find your health improving. ❤️
How's that for a thought! 🥰

The medical, pharmaceutical industry is based on “germ theory”. This means they believe (and we've been led to believe) that germs are the problem. We are surrounded by germs and bugs every moment of every day of our lives. People in the allopathic medical world would have us believe it’s possible to prevent illness with medicine. 😅
When a person comes down with an infection of any kind, the goal is to kill it with the use of man made chemicals. Seems reasonable but does that method really work? 🤔
What if germs are NOT the root cause of illness? What if the root cause is the CONDITION of our body? That is what we call the terrain theory. 😉
We all breathe the same air and eat the same foods and do the same things and go to the same places, so why do some get sick and others do not? ❓
We have a lot of control over whether or not we get sick.
For the most part, illness is not random. It has everything to do with the nutritional state of our bodies.
Germs are not the bad things they are made out to be. They are opportunistic and serve a purpose, and that purpose is to decompose dead and dying tissue that is sitting around inside your body. If that junk isn’t there, they won’t want to hang out inside of you.
So, the people who keep having certain infections come back or are susceptible to what seems like every virus going around? It’s because they have not changed their nutritional state, so they continue to INVITE that same infection or problem, because that infection or problem is manifested by the conditions existing in their body. 💯
Medicine can never fix that, proper mineral and enzyme status does.
We are what we eat, breathe, think and feel. Our bodies are programmed to heal themselves and clean themselves out if they have the tools to do it. We are programmed to survive healthfully. 😍
Symptoms are directly in proportion to the toxicity load and nutrient deficiency you have at the time.
