Are you being manipulated like this?
Are you being manipulated like this? I’ve been in the health field for 40 years in one capacity or another, and although being able to help others has been a rewarding blessing to me, I’ve also “gone down a rabbit hole” and come to realize the extent of the dark side of our modern medical system. Now, before I ruffle any feathers, I want to stress that there are exceptions to everything, and what I’m...
When “stomach problems” aren’t your stomach at all
$10 off Digestizol Max sale ends today! I think it’s safe to say that there is an abundance of people who have what are commonly called “stomach problems” including bloating, belching, burping, indigestion and an ability to play a symphony with one’s flatulence.

I’ll let you decide whether her theory has any validity LOL, but seriously, I think...
Do you need “help” with your digestion?
When someone consults with me for nutritional coaching, one of the first questions I ask is, “How’s your digestion going along?” Most times I get the deer in the headlights look, or they just look down at the floor. That good, huh?

Did you know about this hidden danger of acid reflux?
April is National Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month. And although I’m not a big fan of “awareness” events because they are typically a lot of hoopla and not much more, this one deserves mention. Because there is a distinct “string of events” that can lead to esophageal cancer, and the first of those is a condition that affects a whopping 66 million Americans. Acid reflux. AKA GERD.
