Can zinc cure your depression?

2018-03-29T07:57:30+00:00Detoxing, Nutrition|

Zinc for depression? This is a nutrition idea that is rarely talked about, but a zinc deficiency can have a dramatic impact on your mood. The fact is, most people are walking around with a mineral deficiency and don’t even know it. The soil that our food is grown in is now vastly depleted of key vitamins and minerals, so you most likely are not getting the proper minerals from your foods. Add in a high-stress life packed with lots of caffeine to keep you going during the day and alcohol to bring you down at night, and most likely you have developed a zinc deficiency. And now you’re stressed out, tired & feeling out of sorts. Could zinc for […]

Why Your Brain Needs Magnesium

2018-03-22T12:25:08+00:00Detoxing, Nutrition|

If there is one key nutrient your brain needs to function well it’s magnesium. The connection between magnesium and migraines is especially strong, but that’s not the only thing that can be caused by a magnesium deficiency. Even the smallest deficiency can also cause: Brain fog Anxiety Depression Poor memory Insomnia ADHD Magnesium is needed to complete over 300 critical biochemical functions in your body, and 50 of those functions occur in your brain. Even though magnesium is crazy powerful, it is perhaps one of the most overlooked nutrients. In fact, it is estimated that close to 80% of our population has a magnesium deficiency. I recently got a front row seat to see how magnesium can quickly cause a […]

CBD Oil for Anxiety

2018-02-21T08:06:55+00:00Detoxing, Nutrition|

Anxiety sucks. I totally get it. The racing mind. The restless feeling inside your body. The panic and feelings of doom that you can’t make go away. The incessant worrying. It’s one of the worst feelings you can experience. I know, I’ve been there. And for many of you it’s totally illogical. Your life is great. You have so many blessings to be grateful for. Yet, you can’t stop the anxious mind from taking over. For the past twenty-two years I’ve been in the trenches with people helping them find their path back to health. The patients I work with often have multiple health problems; weight-loss resistance, thyroid conditions, brain fog, depression, chronic fatigue, digestive issues, and chronic pain. But without a doubt, one of the worst […]

  Hypothyroidism (Underactive thyroid) and weight loss are two words you don’t often hear together. In fact, most people who have been told that they have a hypoactive thyroid are also told weight loss will be impossible. Well, I have great news for you: nothing could be further from the truth!

And when you identify which toxins are affecting you the most, you can create strategies to start losing weight again. So how do you go about doing that?

2017-11-22T14:32:12+00:00Gut Imbalances, Keto for Women, Nutrition, Pathogens|

The Care And Feeding Of Your Good Bacteria With Thanksgiving upon us, I have some exciting news! Many of the foods you will be consuming on Thursday are rich in polyphenols. Woot! Wait. What are polyphenols? You may have heard of polyphenols because of their power to prevent cancer. But what you most likely haven’t heard is that polyphenols also feed the good bacteria in your gut. And good bacteria produce key neurotransmitters like serotonin and energizing vitamins like B-vitamins. Sounds good, right? But here’s the complicated truth about the microbiome… it’s confusing! Even doctors are confused and many are in the dark about the importance of your microbiome. What’s exciting is that we are starting to get really sound […]

How to Stop Memory Loss

  Your brain LOVES ketones! I just spent four days at a conference listening to our nation’s top doctors in the world of nutrition and detoxing. One thing became extremely clear to me this weekend… The ketogenic diet puts the body in a massive healing state. Thousands of research studies are now proving ketones supercharge the brain, shrink cancer tumors, repair the microbiome, and accelerate weight loss. The ketogenic diet is not a fad diet. It’s here to stay. Here’s the deal: our brain can only use two fuel sources…sugar or ketones. Most people have been eating such a high carb diet that their brain only knows how to use sugar for fuel. And just like your body gets insulin […]

How to Be Happy Always

2017-11-01T16:53:13+00:00Detoxing, Nutrition|

Have you lost your HAPPY? Get ready… I am going to challenge some of the beliefs you may have about your life today. The thoughts you think. The stories you keep telling yourself. The way you are reacting to stress. All of these may have very little to do with your life, and everything to do with your gut. What?!! I know, hang in there with me for a moment. The first thing I want you to know is that you are a neurochemical being. No, this is not something out of a science fiction movie. Your brain is run by chemicals. When you witness something you like, your brain releases four main “feel good” chemicals – endorphins, oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. In the […]

5 Ingredients to Avoid if You Have Thyroid Problems

2017-10-01T20:10:46+00:00Nutrition|

If you have been diagnosed with a thyroid problem, you need to get serious about toxins. Think of your thyroid as a sensor organ. When it malfunctions, it’s a signal that your toxic load is getting too high. That means it’s time to detox. And the number one rule to detoxing is to STOP PUTTING TOXINS IN YOUR BODY. For the thyroid gland, some toxins are more harmful than others. And toxins you put directly on your skin are the MOST harmful. They are, in fact, more harmful than what you put in your mouth. The following is a list of the 5 most dangerous toxins for your thyroid. 1. Parabens Parabens are widely used in cosmetics to prevent bacterial […]

Detox for weight loss

2017-09-11T14:18:10+00:00Detoxing, Nutrition|

Believe or not, losing weight is one of my favorite topics. Sadly, the old ways of losing weight are not working for people anymore. Eating less and hopping on the treadmill for hours used to be a complete weight loss solution. Now it’s just leading so many of you to feel frustrated and hopeless. But don’t give up! Weight loss is not an issue of eating less. Weight loss is far more complex than that. If you want to lose weight for good, you’re going to have to address one major issue: TOXINS. If you haven’t been following current events in healthcare and the food industry, let me catch you up on a few things. Toxins are everywhere. There are […]
