Spring is here, and ticks seem to come along with blooming apple trees and tulips this year. I am receiving multiple messages from clients, friends, and family asking for advice following tick bites. Time for a podcast on ticks, Lyme, and co-infect
As a child of the 80’s, growing up on hot pockets, canned soup, and a plethora of antibiotics, my gut microbiome was a complete mess. Sick all the time. Brain fog. Fatigue. Bloating. Break outs. Weird rashes. Hormonal shifts. Sound familiar?
The Functional Forum of Grand Rapids. A room full of medical doctors, pharmacists, naturopathic doctors, nurses, and estheticians sharing ideas and case studies around the power of healing rather than medicating. My dinner table included a pharmaci

Grip strength is an indicator of longevity. And not the kind of grip strength from silly little devices you squeeze with your palm, but the kind of grip strength that comes from lifting heavy weights or holding your own weight up on a pull-up bar.

It’s cold and flu season and I’ve probably had at least 10 messages per day asking about my top go-to supplements to prevent or combat winter viruses. I like to have these on hand BEFORE we are exposed, and right now you can get them 20
I am a big proponent of regular toxicity testing. Every year I test myself for the big toxins - heavy metals, mycotoxins (mold), and environmental toxins. And I’m always surprised. Just before detox, my PFAS (forever chemicals) are high despite
