Big Lie #1.
Heavy metal toxicity doesn't exist. 👀
Ohhhh yes it does! 💯
If you have any dental fillings, root canal, history of braces, wear make up or lipstick, cook in a crock pot, have a tattoo, wear jewelry, eat food, breathe air, bathe or shower, drive a car, ever painted a wall, drink non organic coffee or tea, dyed your hair...you get the idea...you have been exposed to many types of heavy metals. 😮What the heck are heavy metals? It's not music! 🎼❌
Heavy metals are: mercury, aluminum, lead, cadmium, fluoride, nickel. ☢️
These are all elements of the earth and we do need small amounts of them. 🤏
Since the beginning of time when man began mining for these metals to make other things, he inadvertently began poisoning himself. Most, (if not all, in my very humble opinion) of the health problems we see today are a direct result of heavy metal overload. 💯
Heart condition? Lead. Memory? Aluminum and Mercury. Thyroid? Mercury and Fluoride. ✔
Heavy metals interfere with the uptake and utilization of your VITAL MINERALS! 😵‍💫
If minerals can't get to your cells, organs and tissues, you will not remain healthy!

Say the "c" word and it strikes the chord of immense fear 😲 (which, by the way, causes more "c")
What if cancer is simply a body's attempt at HEALING itself? Would you have a different reaction to the word? 🤔
ALL cancers are a sign of toxicity AND long term nutrient deficiencies. This affects the mind, body and/or spirit. Hint: it's usually all 3. 🧠💪🙏
The type of cancer and the location in the body gives us a BIG clue as to what the toxic source may be and what the nutrient deficiencies may be. ⚡️🍞🍟☠️🩺💉🦠
When the body is assisted with the removal of the TOXINS in all areas (mind, body, spirit) and given the needed NUTRIENTS, the "c" word can be corrected. Naturally.
Every. Single. Time. ❤️
For an interesting perspective on illness:
Check out German New Medicine (look it up) really opened my eyes. 👀
For general purposes: breast (right) difficulty saying "no", pleasing everyone, victim. (left) separation from a child or significant other.
Colon: Stuck.
Pancreas: loss of sweetness in life, feeling smothered.
ALL c's have a major shock event associated with it and feeling limited, angry, fearful and out of control, not good enough. Mainly unresolved and unexpressed emotions. 😶‍🌫️
From a "physical" perspective, overload of STRESS (the number 1 cause of all illness), estrogen dominance (despite what the md says). 🤡
Something important to consider: Correcting nutrient deficiencies and assisting with detoxification is MUCH easier to do before you become unwell rather than waiting to fix it after you become unwell. ✔️
Remember: I am not a medical doctor and this is not medical advice. Only your medical doctor can give you medical advice. This is for entertainment purposes only! 🤡

Obviously this isn't an exhaustive list of RX drugs and what they deplete. I'm posting this today so you can get an idea of what some of these manmades do. 👹
Glutathione for example, plays such an important role in our health! (there are many other drugs that deplete glutathione, not just the pain reliever listed). 💯
Glutathione is produced mainly in your liver. Any drug that affects the liver will impact glutathione production. 💯
Glutathione protects and repairs cells from damage caused by pollution, stress, and other harmful influences. 🛡
It boosts immune function. ⬆️
It helps create new DNA, which is important for cell growth and repair. ✨
It regulates cellular events like detoxification. ✔
It's found in every cell of your body. 💯
The B complex vitamins help the body convert food into energy and maintain the health of organs, systems and your mental health. 💪
Our core minerals (magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium) are essential for ALL functions of the mind and body. 💯 🧠
Even IF you supplement with these nutrients, the manmades will interfere with absorption and utilization because they block the receptors on your cells where the nutrients are supposed to be. ❌
Using enzymes specific to your absorption needs can assist with delivery of necessary nutrients even if you're taking manamdes. Once your cells get what they need, the "need" for manmades often resolves.💯

Annual reminder: 📅
I'm often asked if I accept health insurance. 🗣️
The answer is "Thank goodness, NO!" ❌
These are the reasons why:
1️⃣Insurance companies dictate ALL aspects of care.
2️⃣They tell the person what doctor can be seen.
3️⃣They tell the person what tests can be done and in what order (no matter what the obvious symptoms might be).
4️⃣Which medications can be prescribed and in what order.
5️⃣Which procedures can be done and in what order.
6️⃣How often they can be seen.
7️⃣The worst part... typically NO resolution to the health situation that brought you to the medical doctor to begin with is achieved.
Let's not even mention the ridiculously high deductibles that must be met first.
Natural health care does NOT follow the same lousy standards as the medical paradigm and WE get great results! 💯
We discover the problem by using good old fashioned detective work, often with a cost MUCH lower than if you had to meet your deductible. 🧐
Rather than chemicals, we use NATURE to assist in restoring health. 🌿
So, thank our lucky stars insurance companies don't accept us. We don't like them either! 🤡

The chain of events that create ALL illness is right here. ⛓️‍💥👇
Stress, leads to high cortisol which leads to inflammation, which weakens the immune system, then damages the gut lining, leading to leaky gut, which creates food sensitivities, creating more inflammation and a trashed immune system, leading back to the ongoing stress response. 🔄
Eventually, you'll be told you have an "autoimmune dis-ease". 🤡
"Autoimmune" means that your body is attacking one or more of its own organs. 🤔
I don't believe our body "attacks" itself but I'll leave that for another day...🙃
The more common "autoimmune" issues are: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (thyroid), Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn's, Psoriasis, Eczema, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, and Lupus. There are many more. These are medical diagnoses that you receive from your medical doctor after many, many tests. 🧪💲(Remember I'm not a medical doctor! 🤡)
The common denominator is ANY of these situations is:
A WEAK foundation. Stress weakens your foundation. 🧱⚠️
What keeps your foundation strong and intact?
MINERALS and ENZYMES ✨
As a side note: blood is the WORST option for testing cortisol (or any hormone), minerals and/or enzymes. 🩸❌
Saliva, hair, and stool are the gold standards in the naturopathic world. 💧✂️💩🏆

This graphic is backwards but it points out chronic inflammation symptoms nicely.
Chronic inflammation CAUSES these symptoms. 🔥
The symptoms are NOT the cause, the symptoms are the messenger that your body NEEDS assistance! 📫
We ALL have inflammation! 💯
It's a matter of how much and for how long? 🤔
Hint: It can, and often starts at birth. Stress is the #1 cause. ✅
You may have symptoms like: brain fog, headaches, difficulty with sleep, anxiety, depression, moodiness, sinus issues, asthma, bronchitis, always getting sick, achy joints, muscle pain or weakness, weight gain, fatigue, bloating, gas, belching, premature aging, thinning hair, ringing in the ears, poor dental health, insomnia...the list goes on. 📃
I utilize several testing methods to discover what your healing opportunities are. Once I've gathered the information, I design a healing protocol specifically for you. The only thing required of you is a commitment to get well. 👍

In the meantime, a great start to reducing inflammation is to be sure you are drinking at least half your body weight (in ounces) of clean water each day. 💧

This is why I test minerals 💯
Essential nutrients run the ENTIRE operating system of your body. 💯
The importance of minerals cannot be understated! 💯
Every heartbeat, every muscle contraction, every memory, every immune response, minerals are behind it.
🟡 Calcium: not just for bones
It also drives nerve signaling, muscle contraction, blood clotting, and hormone release.
🟢 Magnesium: the multitasker
It’s required for hundreds of biochemical reactions, from energy production to DNA repair to blood pressure control.
🔵 Zinc: your immune system’s “on switch”
It helps build proteins, repair tissues, support growth, and regulate immune cells.
🔴 Iron: oxygen delivery
Without iron, hemoglobin can’t carry oxygen, and your cells can’t produce energy.
🟣 Potassium: the electrical system
It stabilizes heart rhythm, nerve function, and fluid balance.
🟠 Sodium: the regulator
Essential for fluid balance, blood pressure, and nerve impulses.
🟤 Copper: the builder
Needed for red blood cells, collagen, and antioxidant defenses.
🟣 Iodine: the metabolic throttle
Your thyroid uses it to regulate growth, energy, and brain development.
🟢 Selenium: the defender
Key for antioxidant protection, thyroid hormone activation, and reproduction.
🟡 Phosphorus: the structural backbone
Critical for DNA, cell membranes, and energy production (ATP).
Minerals don’t work in isolation; they’re a network. A deficiency in one can disrupt multiple systems at once. 🌐
These are the minerals that keep your brain, heart, metabolism, hormones, bones, immunity, and energy production running smoothly. 💯
I test for these as well as others AND heavy metals! 💯
Now, more than ever, it's important for you to KNOW which minerals your body is deficient in if you want to remain healthy or regain your health! 💯

A little humor on this snowy, cold, day. ❄️
(it's not funny if you're having this experience!) 😡
How many of you know someone, or you yourself, who has "hot" flashes? 🔥
No, this is NOT a normal part of perimenopause or menopause although they will often occur when a woman is going through her change of life. 🕘
Hot flashes are a signal that your body has too much of something potentially harmful. ☠
The culprit is too much estrogen circulating and not enough progesterone is available to balance. ⚖️
This will cause a "stress" response and that stress response signals the body to create heat to "burn" off the excess. Like a fever. But for hormones. 🥵
Too much estrogen can lead to health disturbances linked to several cancers.
Hot flashes may occur when we have imbalances associated with our thyroid or liver as well. 😮
Your body is giving you a signal that it needs help. 🏳️🚩
Guess what it needs? 🤔
Minerals and enzymes! NOT hormone replacements. 💯
Get tested! ✂

Minerals because every organ, gland, tissue, muscle, tendon, bone and cell NEEDS them in order to function for you. ✨
Real food because it contains enzymes to assist with the delivery of minerals and vitamins to every organ, gland, tissue, muscle, tendon, bone and cell. 🥑🐄🐟🥕
Sunlight because it promotes the production of cholesterol and vitamin D for your immune system. ☀️
Peace because stress hormones ravage every organ, gland, tissue, muscle, tendon, bone and cell. 😇
Harm-you-suit-icals strip your body of minerals, vitamins and enzymes. Every single one of them does. ☠️
Get your minerals checked. ✂️
Get your enzymes checked. 💻
Get out in the sun when it isn't being blocked. 🌞
Find YOUR peace! 🧘‍♀️
