Prebiotic/Herbal Oral Rinses These are gentler alternatives to harsh antibacterial mouthwashes. Instead of nuking everything (good + bad bacteria), they help balance the oral microbiome by feeding the beneficial bugs or using herbs that selectively target pathogens while sparing the helpful ones. While I do use colloidal silver as an antibacterial mouthwash, I’ve started to […]
The mouth has beneficial bacteria (especially on the tongue) that convert dietary nitrates into nitrite, which becomes nitric oxide (NO). NO is a powerful signaling molecule that relaxes and widens blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure, improves circulation, and supports heart health by reducing strain on the cardiovascular system. Beyond that, it also boosts […]
Making nut milk can be a pain. I especially dislike using a nut milk bag. I discovered my own hassle-free way to make nut milk, then ferment it for optimal benefits. Benefits of Fermented Nut “Milk” One of the big advantages of making your own fermented nut milk — you get a natural boost of […]
When I go to Tijuana for treatments from the Holistic Health Clinic I stay at the Grand Hotel, located in the same hotel as the clinic. This leaves me without a kitchen for weeks at a time. My most recent stay was for almost 4 weeks. Rather than eat restaurant food multiple times a day […]
Targeted Frequencies for Muscles, Nerves & Joints Tuning forks are a simple, practical tool used in natural healing to deliver precise vibrational frequencies directly to the body. Bones are excellent conductors of these frequencies, allowing the vibration to travel efficiently deep into muscles, nerves, and surrounding tissues. When areas become tight, inflamed, or stressed, their […]
Whole-body vibration (WBV) therapy can help relieve sciatica symptoms (pain, numbness, or tingling from sciatic nerve irritation) by targeting root causes like muscle tension, inflammation, and poor circulation—without high-impact stress. How It Helps Boosts Circulation & Reduces Inflammation: WBV increases blood flow and lymphatic drainage, flushing inflammatory markers and delivering oxygen/nutrients to the irritated nerve […]
Nattokinase is a powerful fibrinolytic enzyme (a natural clot-breaking protease) produced by the friendly bacterium Bacillus subtilis during the fermentation of soybeans into natto—a sticky, stringy traditional Japanese food that’s been eaten for centuries. The enzyme is what gives natto its unique ability to support healthy blood flow, and it’s now extracted and sold as […]
Jicama (also called Mexican yam or yam bean) is a crisp, juicy root vegetable that tastes like a cross between a mild apple and a water chestnut — super juicy, refreshing and crunchy! While preparing for my trip to Tijuana at the Holistic Care Clinic, where I’ll be getting treatments from Dr. John Bergman, the […]
While at the Tijuana Holistic Care Clinic I used the hyperbaric chamber and can say it was an amazing experience. Everyone I know that used it fell asleep during the hour long session. It’s that relaxing. The clinic built a room instead of a chamber where you sit comfortably in a reclining comfortable chair, breathing […]

Carpal Tunnel Exercise and Taping Technique from Dr. John Bergman From Dr. Bergman – an exercise with an elastic band to help heal carpal tunnel syndrome. There is also a technique with electrical tape to open up the carpal tunnel while you sleep. It really works. Braces make it weaker and don’t help. Surgeons like […]
The Omega-6 That Actually FIGHTS Inflammation (and why I pair it with fish oil for the ultimate joint/brain combo) Most omega-6 = inflammatory junk from processed seed oils. Borage oil is the rare exception. It’s loaded with GLA (gamma-linolenic acid)—the rare omega-6 that skips the inflammatory pathway and turns into DGLA → PGE1 (anti-inflammatory prostaglandins […]
Boosting Brain Health Naturally Whole-body vibration (WBV) supports neurological conditions like ADHD, dementia, and Parkinson’s by enhancing cerebral blood flow, stimulating neural pathways, and promoting neuroplasticity through increased BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor). Essentially, the vibrations increase head transmission (with proper posture, like slight knee bend) to improve brain oxygenation and signaling. For ADHD Short sessions […]
Not a One-Size Label ADHD typically means a pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity that can make focus and daily life feel tricky. But here’s the empowering truth: it’s not a “broken brain” disease for everyone. Many of us (myself included with tendencies) see it as a spectrum of traits that modern life amplifies — […]
Why Less Is More By 𝒜𝓃𝑔𝒾𝑒 𝑀🌸𝒽𝓇 Constant snacking—even “keto-friendly” ones—can quietly sabotage your progress. Digestion uses a ton of energy, pulling resources away from repair, healing, and fat-burning. Our ancestors didn’t eat three meals plus snacks; they went long stretches without food, letting the body burn stored fat and trigger autophagy (cellular cleanup and […]
Calming Green Latte for Steady Focus, Gut Glow & No-Crash Energy This creamy, dreamy green drink tastes so amazing I crave it daily — unlike most green drinks that feel like punishment, this one is velvety, satisfying, and hard to sip slowly because it’s that good. Matcha (the powdered whole green tea leaf) paired with […]
Cataracts aren’t inevitable “aging”. Cataracts develop when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, usually from oxidative stress and inflammation over time. While they’re often labeled an “aging” issue, many factors speed them up—and addressing those can help prevent them from forming or getting worse. Common root causes to consider: High blood sugar & frequent […]
Bloating after eating is a common complaint, and it’s often a sign that digestion isn’t flowing smoothly. From a holistic perspective (drawing from sources like Dr. Axe, Dr. Berg, and functional wellness experts), the top causes include: Gut microbiome imbalance or SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth): Too many bacteria in the small intestine ferment carbs […]
By 𝒜𝓃𝑔𝒾𝑒 𝑀🌸𝒽𝓇 After posting an article from Dr. Jockers that suggested no snacking between meals there was some push-back so I wanted to elaborate on the reasons: While not all snacks are inherently “bad,” constant snacking can hinder your body’s natural processes. Digestion demands a lot of energy and resources—think of it as diverting […]
Mainstream nutrient charts love to push “lean” cuts of meat as having “more” B vitamins per ounce. But here’s the truth: Fat itself contains basically zero B vitamins. So when you compare equal weights, leaner cuts look like they win because the fat isn’t diluting the nutrient-rich muscle meat. Fattier cuts (thighs, shoulder, marbled loin, […]
It’s a catchy slogan, but not science. Some think humans are the only species that drinks another species’ milk? (we’re really not): Cross-Species Nursing: Humans aren’t the only ones—animals often adopt/nurse other species due to maternal instinct.

Benefits Fresh ginger tea is a traditional favorite for tired, irritated, or puffy eyes—cooling, anti-inflammatory, and invigorating. Ginger’s anti-inflammatory compounds (gingerol, shogaol) can soothe irritated eyes and improve circulation around the ocular area. Anecdotes from users report clearer vision, reduced floaters, and comfort from dryness with consistent use. For cataracts? Purely anecdotal—no studies show ginger […]
I saw a claim that drinking “too much kefir” raises blood glucose and triglycerides. No, kefir doesn’t raise glucose or triglycerides, even at higher intakes like 4-6 cups/day (about 1-1.5L). Studies consistently show it improves glycemic control and lipid profiles, reducing fasting blood sugar, insulin resistance, and “damaged” LDL while supporting heart health. The real […]
A few comments came up in my DIY eye drops post, warning that HA eye drops can cause nerve damage or glaucoma. I looked into this, and here’s the clear picture: Hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate) eye drops are one of the most widely used treatments for dry eye worldwide. They’re considered safe and effective, with […]
