According to research, 10-15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. That means that for about every 1 in 10 pregnancies, one ends up in miscarriage. It, however, does not mean that 1 in 10 women will experience a miscarriage. As of now in the US, 80% of child-bearing women have more than one child. So – while 1 in 10 of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, researchers estimate that as many as 1 in 3 women have a miscarriage.

There’s ONE question to ask to know if you have a pathogen. This question is a good litmus test if you’re wondering if you have a parasite, bacterial overgrowth, H. Pylori, Candida, C. Diff., or even the infamous Blastocystis Hominis. Have I, to the best of my ability and knowledge, done all the right things to make myself feel better, but don’t feel better? That’s it.
A hero begins their journey without all the answers. They usually have just a problem and a dream to solve that problem. If they had the tools and the power to solve that problem in chapter 1, it would make for a very short book! The problem would be solved, and our hero would go back to their life. The truth is, the hero story resides in our hearts because we identify with the hero when we have a problem that can’t be solved.
I recently had a friend of mine tell me that she had bought a product to detox heavy metals in her body. Our conversation reminded me of the importance of an episode on heavy metals and things to know BEFORE detoxing them! So, WHO needs a heavy metal detox? Everyone!
Have you ever said this to yourself or to a friend? Despite all my efforts, I feel worse and worse. I’m doing “all the right things,” and no matter what – I don’t feel better. Before all this – exercise and being intentional with my diet made me feel better. Now – it has NO impact or makes me feel worse. If so, you are like many of my clients. These are things that I REGULARLY hear when I start working with my clients. Once you get sick enough, there seems to be no correlation between effort and results. Yet – we’re tempted to either work even harder in our health or just give up completely (because hey, it’s not helping anyways).
Have you been put on an elimination diet? Are you unable to reintroduce foods (no matter how long you’ve been on your diet) without your symptoms flaring up? Do you feel your symptoms flare up even when you’re being strict with your diet? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, tune in!
Are you taking supplements, and you feel like they’re not working? Have you jumped from one supplement to another, wondering if you’ll start to feel better if you just get the right brand or the right herb that you haven’t tried yet? Have you been recommended by your doctor to take supplements (such as calcium, B12, iron, or Vitamin D due to being low)? Yet your numbers are barely budging and you don’t feel any different? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, today’s episode is for YOU!
We just concluded a series of episodes on ways the gut is connected to other parts of the body: the Gut-Skin, Gut-Breath, and Gut-Sinus connections. In honor of the Gut-Sinus connection, I wanted to bring in an EXPERT in the orofacial complex: Madison Scott, RDH, Myofunctional Therapist! Myofunctional therapy is a treatment that examines how the tongue and oral muscles move and function, utilizing exercises to improve muscle tone and therapies to change habits.
OMG! Yes, I need this!
