Food and environmental allergies are at an all time high. We all know someone who suffers from severe allergies. Maybe you do? Or maybe your child? Maybe you have been to the allergist and have a long list of allergies or maybe you are just beginning to uncover what might be behind your and your child’s symptoms. The thing with allergies is that unless they genetically run in your family, there is a way you can heal your body. No one really talks about this though. At best, your child’s allergis...

Did you know that while in utero, a babies gut is sterile? They don’t have good bacteria or bad bacteria. During birth, they are exposed to their mother's microbiome when they pass through the vaginal canal. This initial inoculation kickstarts the colonization of the baby's gut with beneficial bacteria, laying the foundation for that child’s immune system and overall health. Unfortunately many of us unknowingly have an overgrowth of bad bacteria, yeast and even parasites that we pass along. This...

It’s so easy to measure the healing of visual symptoms like skin rashes, constipation and diarrhea. It gets a lot harder to measure the improvement of your mood, sleep or your children’s behavior. These tend to be symptoms that when they are present they are all consuming but as soon as they go away, you hardly remember how challenging they were. You can’t take pictures or compare side by side. But when you witness the transformation like our guest, Bridget, did in her son - you sing it from the...

There tends to be two types of poopers. People who are more prone to constipation and those who are more prone to diarrhea. Contrary to what your doctor will mostly likely tell you though, the answer isn’t a laxative like Miralax or a fiber supplement. These are bandaids that don’t heal your body. Your body isn’t constipated because it needs a laxative. The body gets constipated when something is off inside. Your poop is a direct reflection of your internal health and if you, your child or someo...

There are so many misconceptions about silver. I remember the very first time I heard of it being used as a natural supplement. It was well before I had children. Well, except for my bloodhound puppy named Olive. She was my first baby. She came to us with so many health issues and after the vet put her on several rounds of antibiotics and steroids I knew I needed to try something else. I went to a holistic dog store and the women recommended giving her a daily dose of silver. I had never heard o...

Medical freedom goes beyond having the autonomy to make your own medical choices. It means taking precautionary measures to really own your health. It means doing everything you can to separate your family from our broken system that is profit driven and doesn’t give a shit about your health. It means educating yourself so you have enough self trust to be free. This episode will validate and inspire you. I hope it gets you thinking about ways you can be even more medically free. What can you do ...

I have a very vivid memory of when my son was really unwell. He was six months old and we were back at the pediatrician for the third time that week because I knew something was terribly wrong. In addition to being covered in an eczema rash, he had so much mucus in his poop and while he was still breastfeeding, there were clumps of stringiness that just didn’t seem right. Then there was blood and I just kept taking him back in. His symptoms had been evolving over the past few months and I spent ...

It is so easy for us to feel alone and scared when our children are unwell. We naturally isolate ourselves when our babies are covered in red oozing rashes, or our toddlers experience speech delays or children melt down with violent behavioral issues because we feel embarrassed and ashamed that our children are suffering. The truth though is that none of us are on this journey alone. So many other mamas have walked the same path, been brushed under the rug by professional after professional and ...

As a first time mom, fevers terrified me. I always thought that fevers were bad and scary but as it turns out, fevers are one of our bodies' superpowers. So often with the slightest fever, we flood our own or our children’s bodies with over the counter medications and we unknowingly stop our bodies from doing the job they were designed to do. It has taken me having four children and learning so much to get to this place of honoring fevers as a gift. In this episode I hope to share this perspecti...

Antibiotics not only kill the bad bacteria in your body, they also kill the good bacteria. There are some amazing studies that have recently came out showing that one course of antibiotic for something like an upper respiratory infection or maybe a urinary tract infection, or whatever the need - this one course increases your chance of a major depressive episode by 24% in the next 12 months, and the chance of developing a generalized anxiety disorder goes up by 17%. Now this is with just one cou...

We have all been told that you have to take antibiotics for ear infections. And if you don’t finish the complete cycle, your ear drum could explode. This isn’t an anti antibiotic episode but rather a deep dive into what is behind ear infections and how antibiotics exacerbate the problem. Most of us know that ear infections stem from an infection somewhere in the body that lands in the middle ear. This infection causes inflammation and excruciating pain.

A huge component to healing is our spiritual well being. This is an area that is so often overlooked and when we experience trauma it is equally important that we heal our spirit along with our physical bodies. I am just now going through the repercussions of this. Of not healing my soul after fighting for my sons health. That was over 7 years ago and it is just now surfacing. I think this happens so often, we heal our children and we forget about all the heartache the experienced caused us. It’...

At the age of 16 I was told I had one of the worst cases of ADHD my psychiatrist had ever seen. I left feeling so confused. Had I always been that way? I was prescribed Adderall and sent on my way. Just like that. I was handed a stimulant drug. One that compares so insanely close to methamphetamine. I took one pill and instead of experiencing the “regulated calm” I was told I would, I became even more fidgety and felt like I needed to run away from myself. So I did. I ran 15 miles that night.
