The likelihood of the average American having heavy-metal poisoning is slim. Modern research has showed us that the heavy metals that do enter our system can back up and affect the function of our gut and liver and therefore many other organs. Some of us can avoid food and products that have heavy metals in them some of us cannot. Fortunately there are things that we can add to our diet to help our body be on the offense. From my research I have found that algae is the best t

The four humors were a medical theory by Hippocrates that fell out of fashion in the 1850s. Do you find yourself ambitious and decisive? According to the greek physician your yellow bile humor is out of whack! It could cause you to be irrational and angry...oh the horrors! Hippocrates might have prescribed dancing naked under the summer sun as a remedy, fortunately modern medicine does much for our voyeuristic hesitations! Allegedly I had a gallbladder attack years ago, it wa

We hear so much about toxins but is there really anything we can do on a daily basis to help that beautiful metabolizing organ that is our liver? I'm not going to go into the treachery that is the American diet...I'm no dietician! Although I do know that when my iPhone tells me I'm 7 min from Wendy's that I need to rethink my meal habits! Here's the thing, maybe my liver is fine...maybe my gallbladder is not or my gut or my heart. So where can we start?? We have clients who c

Noooo...not that joint and nooo...not an adventure we are talking about a health venture! We all know there's no cure all for our aches and pains and ever growing human maladies. Lawd knows my neck, back and knees could use that magical pill! So until that fantasy becomes a reality what can we do to temper the pain?? Green, black, and white teas are packed full of polyphenols that offer anti-inflammatory effects when consumed on a regular basis. Pairing teas with other healin

A body in motion stays in motion...blood in in a body in motion also stays in motion or rather motions better! So many of us are living a sedentary life whether it our intention or not. I know my smart watch is always tapping me to get up and move! Siri is such a nag! Moving and stretching throughout the day are great way to prevent blood clots and to encourage better blood flow. Blood is an interesting part of our system as its not one of the easiest things to improve the co

Candida has become a household name to a condition that so many of us deal with. A condition that we probably didn't even know was causing us discomfort. Candida is a type of fungus that is commonly found on the skin and in the gut and is usually harmless until an overgrowth occurs. It loves and alkaline home, especially in our gut! Poor fats, over consumption of protein, not enough fiber, and too much sugar can contribute to an alkaline tummy. What we are really aiming for i
