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!

My Trip into Hellhole Canyon – A piece about goal setting for ultimate success

Goal setting can be self-sabotaging if not done carefully and mindfully. My much-needed solo trip to the desert ended up filled with valuable lessons about that. I hope my story sheds some light on this very important concept. It easily applies to those of you looking to set healthcare goals or major life changes.

The Autoimmune-Gut Connection

It is important to understand one major concept regarding autoimmunity: no one is born with an autoimmune disease. People are often born with a genetic propensity to develop a disease, but it tends to be factors in that person’s life that turn autoimmunity on. In this article, I explain more about autoimmunity, what impacts this unfortunate condition, and what can be done to ease the symptoms.
