Eyes Wide Open: Understanding the Gut’s Role in Dark Circles & Puffy Eyes

We often blame dark circles and puffy eyes on lack of sleep, stress, or genetics - and while those can definitely play a role, they’re not the whole story. What you might not realize is that your gut health is also a big participant in how those dark circles form. And the same goes for our children. So if you’ve tried everything - from getting more sleep and cutting down on stress to trying every eye cream on the market - and those stubborn shadows or puffiness just won’t go away, it’s time to l...

When and Why You Should Incorporate CBD into Your Wellness Routine

I’ll never forget the moment my midwife first mentioned CBD to me. I was six months pregnant, eagerly anticipating the arrival of my fourth baby, but I couldn’t shake the anxiety about the postpartum period. My previous experiences had been marked by intense hormone swings, mood shifts, and an overwhelming sense of being lost in a fog. I was already grieving the time I knew I would miss with my three other children as I braced myself for the inevitable postpartum haze. I’m sharing this story wit...

You Will Never Fully Heal if You Don’t Do This

The title of this episode is You Will Never Fully Heal if You Don’t Do This. Any guesses? Let me give you a hint: It has nothing to do with what you eat, the supplements you take, or even your genetics. It’s not about the possible mold in your home or the level of stress in your life. So, what is it? It’s something far more subtle yet incredibly powerful - your mindset . The way you think and what you believe about your ability to heal will make all the difference. It doesn’t matter how many doc...

Could Your Symptoms Be Rooted in Your Gut? Here’s How to Start Healing from Within

When you or your child experience persistent symptoms - whether it’s digestive discomfort, skin issues, mood swings, or chronic fatigue - you might not immediately connect these issues to your gut.

Why Rebalancing Works, Even When Everything Else Has Failed

I took my son to every kind of healthcare professional. Over a two-and-a-half-year period, we spent over $20,000 trying to figure out what was causing his symptoms and how to heal his body. We tried every herbal remedy. We went to an Ayurvedic doctor. We went to a functional medicine doctor. We did a six-month tele-health program with a nutritionist. We did allergy testing. We tried every elimination diet. I know many of you are on this same journey. You have tried what feels like everything. On...

How to Know When Your Gut is in Balance

Knowing when your child’s gut or your gut is in balance is a really important part of not only healing your body but also learning how to live in a state of absolute thriving. Some people find their way here after years of struggling with symptoms, others with an appreciation of how significant the microbiome is and a desire to learn more.

Understanding and Reducing Bloating

Bloating is a common and uncomfortable sensation that many people experience. We all know that feeling when your stomach is swollen, tight, and full of gas. And while occasional bloating can be a normal response to certain foods or hormone fluctuations, chronic bloating indicates a deeper issue - an imbalance in your gut microbiome. If you’ve been around for a while or have a basic understanding of your gut, you know that your microbiome is a complex community of trillions of microorganisms, inc...

Sometimes Symptoms Get Worse Before They Get Better

Rebalancing your gut is a life changing experience but it's important to know that sometimes symptoms get worse before they get better. For some people, healing can look like a few steps back before moving forward. It can sometimes bring about uncomfortable symptoms that may seem counterproductive. This is known as die-off, or a Herxheimer reaction. While it might feel discouraging, it's actually a sign that your body is undergoing a significant transformation. The term "die-off" or Herxheime...

Everything you Need to Know About Rebalancing While Pregnant and Breastfeeding

Rebalancing your gut while pregnant and breastfeeding is a topic that tends to be quite controversial. There is a narrative that says how dangerous it is to cleanse while pregnant and breastfeeding but a whole side that no one talks about is how dangerous it is to have parasites, an overgrowth of bad bacteria, pathogens, and yeast in your body while growing and nourishing a baby. In the early 1900s, 1 in 100 women experienced depression in their lifetime. Today it is 1 in 4. 1 in 2 children have...

I remember when my son was covered head to toe in the most itchy red rash. He was just a few weeks old and would scratch himself so badly that he would be dripping in blood if I looked away for even a minute. Even though I had put those little mittens on him. He was so uncomfortable he couldn’t sleep and would scream in pain for hours on end. If you or your child suffer from eczema, you are well aware that western medicines go-to solution is steroid creams. The problem with this is that steroid ...

Maternal Microbiome: Did You Pass an Imbalance to Your Baby During Birth?

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...
