If you’ve ever wondered why shingles shows up after stress, burnout or big life transitions, this episode connects the dots. In it, I break down how an old childhood virus can wake up when your immune system is run down, why shingles is more common as we age, and what your nervous system has to do with it.

You’ll learn the early warning signs, why “pushing through” makes it worse, and how holistic strategies — from supplements to simple daily habits — can help calm an outbreak and reduce the chances of another one.

In this episode, we break down what the pancreas actually does, how it controls blood sugar, energy, mood, and digestion, and the subtle signs it may be weakening long before disease shows up. 

We explore how long-term stress and viral infections can quietly strain the pancreas, and why symptoms like fatigue after meals, cravings, brain fog, and blood sugar crashes are often early warning signs. 

You’ll also learn how to eat to support your pancreas, which lifestyle habits protect it, and the holistic supplements that can help suppore blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and support healing—before small whispers turn into bigger health issues.

As I mention in this episode, the lymphatic system relies on muscle movement, breathing, hydration and even gravity to help support critical functions like daily detoxification.

As one of the excretory organs its flow is necessary to help your body with central functions like digestion, hormone balance, fluid balance and immune system to name a few.

Too much estrogen means surgery and drugs. And while that seems to have been the approach for decades, some doctors are calling that for what it is -- ineffective and incomplete. 

Sure, some people out there may, in fact, require surgery. I won't suggest that it's totally off the table. I'm admittedly not an expert on that! BUT - there seems to be some tunnel vision going on in the conversations I've had with people about their thought process on such an ailment as endometriosis. 

So, join me as I take a look at what is really going on in your body if you have endometriosis and action you can take right now, to start to turn things around for yourself. Because, we are partners in our health journey with practitioners we work with... it's time we start acting like it!

Kimberly Hand is a wellness and lifestyle expert and the host of The Cinnamon Effect podcast… which I had the pleasure of being a guest of recently.  

Kimberly is passionate about helping others live a sweeter, healthier and more fulfilling life -- and that's something I support completely! 

I'm so grateful Kimberly and I had chance to reconnect after discovering that we'd actually met before in our 20's! Since then, we've gone through some ups and downs in life (as we all do) and in this episode we reflect on life lessons and stepping into new versions of ourselves. 

As we uncover here, we can be doing all the "right" things for our health but still be having issues because health isn't all about what you're "doing" but who you are being. 

It's not easy to endure the traumas we all face in life with love and loss but it's we can come out on the other side with wisdom, peace and find new joys. It's not only possible but needed for a healthy life.

]]> Ahh, lavender. Just saying the word makes me do a deep exhale. There's something special about medicinal effects you can get by just breathing! 

After a very stressful few weeks, I've had to remind myself just how potent the herb lavender can be. And all the uses, from culinary, to tea and tinctures, not to mention essential oils.

Plus, how Chronic Anxiety and Nutrient Deficiencies Create a Vicious Cycle 88: What Cults Teach us About Fear, Diet and Decision Making. Plus, how Chronic Anxiety and Nutrient Deficiencies Create a Vicious Cycle Has there been an increase in anxiety in the last few years (2020-2025)? Oh yes, indeed there has been. Like what you ask? 

Here are a few according to the American Psychiatric Association: 

  • corrupt government officials (65.2%), 
  • people they love becoming seriously ill (58.4%), 
  • cyberterrorism (58.3%), and the 
  • possibility of the U.S. becoming involved in another world war (55.0%) 

to name a few.   

In this episode I dig into a curiosity I have had after watching cult documentaries and noticing what seems to be a common thread... diets that are all about deprivation. 

Is this really about food or diet/ways of eating?  Or is it about control? 

Join me as I ponder some connections and aim to provide some advice on how we can ensure we don't miss out on certain critical nutrients that will contribute to our health and wellbeing.

From Detoxification, Respiratory Health, Cellular Health and Energy Production. Breaking Down Differences and Noticing Similarities NAC is a precursor to glutathione, the body's most powerful antioxidant. It helps neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation and support detoxification.  

While NAD+ or (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme essential for energy production and DNA repair. It plays a key role in mitochondrial function, helping cells generate ATP (cellular energy).  

NAC and NAD both provide critical support for cellular function but in different ways. 

NAC helps with detoxification and antioxidant support, while NAD is essential for energy production and longevity. The best approach depends on your goals—whether it's long-term wellness or rapid intervention.

Inflammation is a big problem for us all. From our modern diet and food system to chronic stress it seems we just can't escape it!

But what if you could get pain relief from something with out side effects but rather something that has side BENEFITS?

But if you were a nurse, well, my heart goes out to you. 

Did you know? since 2020...   

  • Many nurses left the profession due to stress, burnout, and poor working conditions. 
  • Workplace violence and aggression increased, particularly in hospitals and ER settings.
  • Some nurses experienced pay cuts or wage stagnation, despite the increased demand for their work.
  • And the pandemic intensified factors such as burnout, depression, anxiety, and substance use among nurses, all of which are associated with an increased risk of suicide. 

That's why I wanted to hear from an insider, a nurse in the hospital system who continues to fight on a daily basis for patient's rights, medical freedom, informed consent and more.

After all, as Dr. Pompa says, "get to the cell, to get well." 

In this episode, I talk with owner of Vibrant Mobile Health, Denise Skinner. Denise is a holistic technician specializing in whole body detox. She has a deeply personal connection to holistic health having walked-the-walk with her daughter, herself and now her husband who was diagnosed with cancer. 

Join us for a conversation that covered a lot of ground... from a juice cleanse that destroyed her digestion, to helping her daughter rebuild gut health and now seeing great improvements in her husband's cancer markers.  

Her passion is clearly all about health and healing and if you ask me, we need more of it in that in this world!   

Here's how you can get in touch with Denise:

Things like perfume/cologne, laundry detergent, air fresheners, cleaning products and other personal care products have dangerous chemicals (i.e. parabens, phthalates) in them.

Some have a gene mutation that makes smelling these chemicals more than a slight annoyance but rather they experience debilitating symptoms.

As I mention in this episode, this topic is deeply personal to me as my mom has gone through a whole lot with her teeth. Before we met Dr. Light she was blessed to have found a biological dentist in Clearwater, Florida who was a true saint! She credits Dr. Ray Behm with quite literally saving her life! 

Here are a list of suggested questions that may help you find out if your dentist is the holistic fit you are looking for: 

1. Do you use biocompatible materials?
“Yes, we assess the biocompatibility of dental materials and use options like BPA-free composites and ceramic materials. If necessary, we perform biocompatibility testing to ensure the materials are suitable for the individual.”

2. How do you handle amalgam fillings?
“We avoid placing amalgam fillings due to their mercury content. For removal, we follow strict protocols, such as the SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique), to minimize mercury exposure to the patient and the environment.”

3. What is your approach to root canal treatments? 
“We prefer to explore alternatives to root canals because of concerns about lingering bacteria and toxins. If a root canal is unavoidable, we use advanced techniques to ensure thorough disinfection.”

4. What steps do you take to reduce exposure to toxins in your office?
“We minimize toxins by using fluoride-free treatments when possible, mercury-free materials, and non-toxic sterilization methods. We also use air filtration systems to maintain a healthy environment.”

5. Do you use fluoride in your treatments?
“We generally avoid fluoride and recommend alternative ways to strengthen enamel, such as remineralizing pastes containing hydroxyapatite, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments.”

6. What is your philosophy on diet and oral health?
“We believe diet plays a critical role in oral and systemic health. We often discuss nutrition, emphasizing whole foods, reducing sugar, and increasing nutrient-dense options.”

7. What imaging techniques do you use?
“We use low-radiation imaging techniques, such as digital X-rays or cone beam CT scans, to minimize radiation exposure.”

8. Do you collaborate with other healthcare providers?
“Yes, we often work with naturopaths, functional medicine practitioners, and other health professionals to provide a well-rounded approach to patient care.”

9. Do you use ozone therapy in your practice?
“Yes, ozone therapy is a cornerstone of our practice." 

10. Are you a member of any holistic or biological dental associations?
“Yes, I am a member of organizations like the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) or the Holistic Dental Association, which focus on biologically oriented dental practices.”

The author is a MD (and more), he overcame his own devastating diagnosis and he helped many people as an integrative oncologist. 

A major takeaway for me here is that there’s nothing wrong with just pressing pause if you do hear the dreaded words no one wants to hear about breast cancer.

]]> We are living in historic times. There is a movement going on that's been going on for many years actually. But only now is it making some headlines.
The challenge is, it takes courage to speak up about all that is wrong with our food and healthcare systems these days. People are being vilified for it!
Well, I look at those speaking up and I admire their courage. It makes me think... what correlation is there between health and courage?
That's what I explore in this episode as I talk about the book, “Good Energy: The surprising connection betweet metabolism and limitless health.”

Get the book and read it with me:  https://amzn.to/405a40n

Reduce Anxiety, Calm the Nervous System, Improve Sleep and More with Kava PLUS Updated Research on so-called Side Effects Kava Kava the drink that some say stinks has gotten a makeover! 
Today kava drinks taste good! I've tried a few so far and I'm really excited to tell you all about the things I've recently learned about this amazing herb. 

Kava root has been used as medicine as well as a recreational and ceremonial drink  for centuries and hails from Polynesia. Kava is being used more and more as an alternative to alcohol but some stories I've heard actually make it sound healing to the nervous system. That's exciting! Kava is: 

  • Mildly intoxicating
  • Improves mood, eases anxiety and boosts sociability
  • Stimulates dopamine receptors
  • Influences GABA receptors  

Tune in and find out more about my kava story so far... the journey continues!

I want to eat the healthiest choice I can find and I now know I can no longer rely on the "grocery store" (even the 'healthy'/expensive ones) for good, quality protein. Sure, I get what I can in Naples at our store Nature's Garden when I'm there but what about when I'm back on the East Coast?
That's why I am so thrilled I was able to speak with Chris Muneio of Ranchers Reserve on this episode. Chris and his business partner decided to open a restaurant in downtown West Palm Beach, FL just a few years ago and one year later decided to become ranchers. Talk about making bold moves... mad respect! Ranchers Reserve is a privately owned, 85 acre cattle farm in Okeechobee raising wagyu beef and Berkshire pork. I was also thrilled to find out he is opening a butcher shop in Fall 2024 (of which, I'm sure to be a regular customer!). More big plans on the horizon for this entrepreneur and I can't wait to see what is in store.

]]> Herbs, oils, and 100% pure quality gel are all things you can use to repel bugs and treat bug bites more holistically. But how?
In this episode I talk about what makes you more likely to get bit, how to repel bugs naturally on yourself and in your home and give you a recipe (or two) to make your own bug repellant. Spoiler alert... this is the one I made:
Combine all oils in a 2 oz glass spray bottle.
5 drops cinnamon leaf essential oil, 
5 drops lemongrass essential oil,
5 drops citronella essential oil,
5 drops peppermint essenital oil,
Mixed with witch hazel and be sure to shake up before each use.

If you have a dysregulated nervous system you may be stuck in "fight-or-flight" which will make it difficult to heal and achieve optimal health. Signals to look out for include:

  • Having chronic attention and concentration problems

]]> Mandy is author of the book Real Food Recovery: The Busy Mom’s Guide to Health & Healing with 92 Gluten Free, Casein Free (GFCF) Recipes.

She is a nonprofit leader/founder at: https://www.realfoodrecovery.org/ 

And she's also a Clinical Nutritionist, Foster Mom/Advocate, and Biodynamic Builder. Clearly, the title "Hero" fits her well!

She and her husband also own Blumestone -  biodynamic construction company on a mission to make your space a less toxic environment.  https://www.blumestone.com/

Join us for an enlightening conversation about how nutrition helps heal us, the impact nutrition education is having on foster children, how pivotal our water is to our health and MUCH more.

Mandy inspired me to reach out to the Weston A. Price Foundation and become a member! She lit a fire in me and I think she'll do the same for everyone who listens.

If you'd like to start focusing on quality water and hydration for health then please reach out to us at Nature's Garden and ask for Tony. He will recommend what filtration machine will best suit your needs. Call 239-643-4959 or https://ngvitamins.com/ to browse options.

I'm celebrating 6 months of weekly episodes - YAY! 
That made me think -- why is alcohol the main celebration method in our society? 
As I say in the opening of this episode, I'm not here to tell you what to do. And at  the same time, I hope you'll listen to some hard-to-hear information about your "friend" (or foe) alcohol.
In my journey to improve my own health, I'm often thinking to myself "just-say-no when it comes to alcohol." But I don't always find that such an easy thing to do. Why? In this episode I discuss, why we want to drink and why it's natural to seek that feeling. Plus, several things every drinker should know about what constitutes 1 drink, and what it does to our brain and body.
Here are a few suggestions when it comes to supplements that can help support you if you decide to drink:

Like I said, this was a RICH episode! I did intend that pun because when you taste the quality of Rallis Co. olive oil, you'll understand.

We found Rallis Co. sometime back and were intrigued by family business that goes back centuries, the full-of-life flavor profile of their oil and then the uniqueness of their brand.

If you're in Naples, FL you can find Rallis Olive Oil at our store, Nature's Garden. (2089 9th St. North, Naples, FL 34102)
If you'd like to learn more about Theo and all the products he's creating visit: https://www.rallisoliveoil.com 

Now, I have to go and take a few tablespoons of the Rallis Olive Oil based on the discoveries from this episode!

My curiosity has been piqued about herbalism lately. How fascinating is it that plants that have existed for centuries can still help support our bodies today?! I, for one, love that! 

And with chronic stress of the modern world forcing our minds and bodies out of balance, what better time than now to consider how herbs and adaptogens like holy basil can help.

Here are just a few articles referenced:

Plus, the must-read Wheat Belly book I often say "I'm gluten free" -- but feel there needs to be a longer explanation as to "why" I do this even though I don't have Celiac Disease.
Since there is much to say about modern-day wheat and how it compares to the wheat of yesteryear,  let's dive into 3 reasons why "gluten-free" has become such a popular term.

The featured "hero" of this episode is Dr. William Davis and his book: Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health.

If this episode changed your opinion on wheat AT ALL - please let me know! I know for me, just looking at the book again has reinvigorated my vigilance to JUST SAY NO to modern-day wheat!

Candida is not what you think... it's MORE.
There is so little known about this that most think it's just one thing: yeast infections. But in fact, it's a lot more harmful. Especially when it comes to an overgrowth or Candidiasis.

In this episode, I aim to raise awareness about how common candida (or having an overgrowth or imbalance of it) is, what illnesses or diagnosis may be linked to fungal overgrowth and more.

Not to mention it's  difficult to test for and many doctors don't believe it's a problem! So what do you do? 

Tune in to learn more about what candida really is and how you can use diet and supplementation (along with an educated guide) to rid yourself of the bad bugs that can cause many more problems than meets the eye.

Is emotional trauma keeping you stuck? 17: Robin Gargano: Resiliency Strategist, Emotion Code Practitioner. Is emotional trauma keeping you stuck? Ever meet someone and ask, how is it possible for one woman to go through so much emotional pain only to come out on the other side stronger and still smiling? 

I have. It's my dear friend Robin Gargano that makes me think those thoughts. 

After enduring much emotional trauma, Robin  wrote the book, The Beauty within Tragedy: How a Resilient Soul can Turn Grief into Gifts. 

She has become a best-selling author, impact speaker, and proud mom and wife. And she was also certified in Mental Performance Mastery, the Emotion Code and is trained in complex trauma.

Robin is also CEO of L4 ~ Livin’ Life, Lovin’ Life with a mission to change the story of mental toughness by turning suffering into strength through resiliency, leadership, energy work and mindset training. 

As I say in the show, sometimes you can be doing all the "right" things and still feel stuck. If that happens, you might consider your emotional state. Perhaps the emotion code can help.   

Robin shares her journey about how she had to earn her smile all over again after enduring nearly insurmountable grief. She is a strong soul and I know she cares deeply for all those she touches with her lovely spirit and strength of character. 

You can contact Robin at:  robin@l4livin.com 
As stated, she's offering a special rate for those who find her via this podcast.

Not only does a low salt diet put stress on your organs, it may cause you to eat more food and more of the wrong foods. This can result in weight gain and potentially more serious negative health impacts as well. 

So, in this episode I am busting some myths about salt. Plus, I touch on the history, the differences between various types of salt and common "knowledge" you might be basing your dietary decisions on that now seems to be revealed as untrue.

There are reasons that coffee can be good for you.
And at the same time there are negative effects to the caffeine in coffee.
It's important to listen to your body and because I'm doing that in the new year I know I want to keep my love of coffee in check.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not quitting coffee anytime soon... but I do want to consume coffee in a way that benefits my health and doesn't have negative impacts.
Plus, it's a good idea to have alternatives for when you  want to change up your habits from time to time.

If so, what will you drink to stay properly hydrated?
If you're relying on tap water... are you drinking in 21 heavy metals, 6 forever chemicals, 68 pharmaceuticals, 7 hormones, 45 pesticides and herbicides,  and 15 other disinfectants from your tap?

In today's day and age, we can no longer rely only on the filtration methods that happen before water comes to the home. Instead, we have to do additional water filtration in the home to ensure our own health.

All this and more in the first (of what will surely be a series) about the power of hydration, the danger of tap water and the water filtration system I rely on to be properly hydrated.

Garrett is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to wild and cultivated mushrooms - fungi that our ancestors (across cultures) have been using for thousands of years. 

And he has a big vision: to become a land-owning company who sets forth a more lucrative sustainable, ethical and well-rounded approach to forestry and private land stewardship.
