52// 10 Things to Consider Before Starting a Heavy Metal Detox
52// 10 Things to Consider Before Starting a Heavy Metal Detox

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!

Prior to jumping into a heavy metal detox, this episode is here to inform you of the caveats and prerequisites to detoxing metals from the body.

Specific people who may be carrying heavy metals include those who have:

  • Taken any form of hormonal or copper birth control

    • Pill, IUD, etc.

  • Mothers who were on the pill or hormonal/copper birth control prior to your conception

  • Had gallbladder removed

  • Used deodorant with aluminum in it

  • Eaten food that has been cooked in, or stored in aluminum foil

  • Drank/still drink unfiltered water (this includes Brita filter users - we’ll get into why)

  • Used plastic to store food

  • Chronically low calcium or potassium

This episode is highly informative on metals, and it is my hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it! Remember to give it time and be gentle.

Healing is a journey, not an event!

51// How to Stop the Cycle of Trying Harder In Your Health
51// How to Stop the Cycle of Trying Harder In Your Health

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).

However, It is EXACTLY this lack of correlation between effort and results that is a major sign that you may be working against yourself. There IS a better way. You actually are allowed to give up things to go up in health!

On today’s episode, I’m going to be describing exactly how and WHY simplifying life can actually make you feel and become healthier.

48// Got snoring, sleep apnea, TMJ, or teeth grinding? You may need an Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist! - with Madison Scott, RDH, Myofunctional Therapist

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.

You may be benefit from this therapy if you experience:

  • Mouth breathing

  • Headaches

  • Neck pain

  • GERD

  • TMJ pain

  • Thumb sucking, nail-biting, or other habits

  • Issues with tongue posture

  • Sleep Apnea and/or Snoring

  • Tongue tie

If this sounds like you (or one of your kiddos) tune in to learn about the importance of a healthy orofacial complex and what you can do to bring it back into harmony!
