Inflammation means hormones can't get IN and toxic waste can't get OUT. This is how cellular death occurs, one cell at a time.

When enough cells die, tissues die
When enough tissue dies, organs die
When organs die, death begins.

THIS is what success looks like when you get someone who is committed to their own change. We started our journey with the blue graph and ended in the red graph area and did it without a single Rx.

I don't know who needs to hear this but.....

Have you had to take an antibiotic for an infection?
Well, if so, your doctor likely gave you something like Amoxicillin, Doxycycline, Clarithromycin or even a strong combo antibiotic like Bactrim!

These antibiotics do a FANTASTIC job eliminating acute infections, but they also throw the baby out with the bathwater. It's like standing at a forest fire and every tree in sight for miles is just a black charred stump and there is nothing in site that looks living, healthy or green.

While we are extremely grateful to our allopathic friends, who like firemen put out the blazing fire of infection, naturopathically speaking... there is still clean up and rebuilding to do.

I use a 3 tier approach I call "Weed..Seed..Feed"

1. We w**d out your food sensitivities that are causing gut inflammation, engaging your immune system and triggering the release of chemicals called mediators like histamine, prostaglandins and cytokines.

2. We seed the gut ecology with new probiotic commensal bacteria (the good guys/new little saplings if we are still using the forest fire analogy)

3. We feed the probiotics with prebiotic fiber and polyphenols to fertilize the new seedlings we planted.

If you'd like my post antibiotic protocol, respond below with "ABX" and I'll send the info for free

THIS!

Real foods do not need much explaining.

An apple is an apple.
Beans are beans.
Oats are oats.
Sweet potatoes, lentils, berries, greens, nuts, seeds.

These are the foods the body tends to recognize best because they come from nature close to their original form.

That does not mean all processed food is bad.

Frozen vegetables are processed.
Plain yogurt is processed.
Rolled oats are processed.
Nut butter is processed.
Canned beans are processed.

And those can still be incredibly nourishing.

The bigger issue is how far a food has been taken from its original form.

There is a big difference between food that has been lightly changed to make it safer, more practical, or easier to eat… and food that has been rebuilt into a product filled with additives, flavorings, sweeteners, dyes, gums, and ingredients your body would never encounter in nature.

That is where things start to go sideways.

So the goal is not perfection.
And it is not avoiding every food that came in a package.

It is learning to tell the difference between:

food that still feels like food
and food products pretending to be food

Convenience matters. Real life is busy. Sometimes packaged or prepared foods are what make a healthy meal possible.

But when most of your diet comes from foods that still look like their original ingredients, your body usually gets something very different in return: more fiber, more nourishment, more natural fullness, and less of the daily wear and tear that comes from relying too heavily on ultra-processed products.

That is really the heart of it.

Healthy eating does not have to be extreme.
It just helps to keep coming back to foods that started in the ground, on a tree, or as something simple and whole.

are plastic fragments smaller than 5 mm (about 1/16 of an inch) that result from breakdown of plastic litter in the environment.

More than 13 000 chemicals are associated with plastics, including about 4200 chemicals of concern and 10 chemical groups identified as highly toxic substances.

This JAMA Patient Page describes microplastics and the potential health effects of human exposure to microplastics.
