Recurring infections like UTIs, vaginal yeast infections, mastitis, and ear infections are more than just frustrating and painful - they are signals that something deeper is going on in the body.

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.
