Functional Dysautonomia - How Neurological Imbalance Can Effect the Gut Health and More

In this 75th episode I discuss a neurological imbalance referred to as functional dysautonomia, which is an imbalance of the sympathetic (fight or flight) & parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system functions.

I also share a story about when my dog Cheddar and I were stalked by two coyotes in a local canyon.

Let It Go… Staying Strong When Others are Struggling

In this 74th episode, as I continue to recover from a bout of Covid-19, I ponder some concepts around taking on the negativity of those around us. As an empathic person, I find this to be a common challenge for me which absolutely challenges my health.

I offer a musical meditation piece called "We are Truth" which is something that speaks to me when I feel the need to remember to focus on a more centering perspective, and to let go of the things which are working against me.

Let go of those things which are working to bring you down. Most of the time, they are not really your burden to bear...

Fighting Nasty Viruses, Functionally

In this 73rd episode I come to you in recovery from sickness. It started with my daughter, then to my wife, and then on to me. Like it does when living in close quarters.

Today I offer a short update on my health status, a little background on what my family has been experiencing (apparently COVID-19 as of positive tests this morning), a little reminder that it is okay to sit still sometimes and do nothing, and some nutraceutical/supplement advice for immune support as both preventative or therapeutic actions if sick with a virus.

We will discuss Vitamin D, Glutathione, Vitamin C, and other anti-viral support.

Let's Talk Immune System, Plus New COVID-19 Antibody Test Available

I find the approach of simply sheltering in place to be short sighted and not giving justice to the abundant literature that is already published around optimizing immune function. Remember, sheltering in place only helps people avoid exposure to the virus. It does nothing to help a person have a more robust immune response, and it is a healthy and robust immune response that we want to not only fight off this virus if infected, but to provide a person and the community at large a natural immunity to the virus.

Also - I now offer Covid-19 antibody testing. Find out if you’ve already been exposed and have immunity!
