This week, I thought it would be fun to talk about why pumpkin spice is good for you! If you get a blend that only contains the herbs, each one has medicinal properties that are appropriate for the season. The SUGAR is the problem. Then, since it seems that cough and cold season is extra […]

This week, I talked about my decision to take antibiotics for a possible sinus infection. I am still doing lots of natural medicine stuff, but I want to scare the infection out quickly so I can get my pain injection in a couple of weeks! It’s OK to use both natural and convention medicine when […]

This week, we talked more about preventing those stomach bugs going around. Wash your hands and eat probiotics! Also, too many colds; take your zinc, C, and elderberry, gargle, and clean your nose! Zero drop shoes are all the rage now, and I tried them and I think they help with balance. Don’t forget to […]

This week, I started with all the STUFF that’s going around, colds, coughs, and stomach bugs. We talked about how to prevent them and ease symptoms. Then we updated regarding my spinal stenosis care, which is somewhat frustrating, but I keep going! We also talked about Ron’s iron deficiency and how he’ll get help for […]

This week, I outlined some simple exercises to do if you have lumbar spinal stenosis, like I do. These will also work if you have low back pain of any kind, because they support the core stabilizing muscles and take stress off the psoas and other hip flexors, and also the hamstrings. Then I want […]

This week, I talked about three things to manage healthy aging and how to do it: mainly diabetes, hypertension, and smoking. If you manage those things your chances of developing Alzheimer’s are much lower. Then, I talked about coffee and aging. There is a protein that coffee stimulates that slows down aging! Then we talked […]

This week, I talked about a new home kit for testing ticks for Lyme disease. Easy to use and gives you more options sooner. My concern is that if it ONLY tests for Lyme and not coinfections, you might think you’re in the clear when you’re not. Then, we went on to multilingualism and healthy […]

This week, I found an article that discussed the LUTEAL UGLIES. That’s when people who menstruate feel LOUSY the second half of their cycle. The article I read said that it’s due to declining estrogen, but I think it’s really due to estrogen dominance. I discuss how that happens and what you can do about […]

This week, I talked about the senate hearings with Anthony Fauci. Hero, or no? I encouraged everyone to remember that he WAS a hero during the AIDS crisis, and he helped research and getting medicine into the hands of people who desperately needed it. For COVID, we need to remember that there were everyday heroes […]

This week, it was a potpourri! We talked about how coffee can postively affect the microbiome. As long as you can tolerate it, it appears that coffee is a superfood! Then we found a shocker: chronic physiological stress leads to cognitive decline. So, stress reduction helps it! And did you know that Vitamin C can […]

This week, I reviewed the cyclosporiasis outbreak a little more; not much has changed. I’m waiting to hear a friend’s experience with treatment. Then, I got into how much caffeine is enough, or too much? According to the American Heart Association, 400 mg is fine for most people! It’s NOT fine for me. I’d be […]

This week, we reviewed the latest on cyclosporiasis. Hint: DON’T stop eating produce. Shop local! Go the farmer’s markets and talk to the actual farmers about their growing practices! Then, it was all about cholesterol. There’s a new drug on the market, an oral PCSK-9 inhibitor, before which there were only injectables. Is it a […]

This week, I started off mentioning the smoky skies due to the Canadian wildfires, and that it’s not the best idea in the world to spend a lot of time outdoors while it’s here. It can definitely affect people already compromised by allergies, asthma, COPD, and other lung conditions. Then we got into what’s going […]

This week, I reviewed the latest on my Lyme treatment, which is not too bad, some antibiotics, herbs, and probiotics. Then we talked about the great vitamin K2, whose job is to direct calcium to your bones and away from places you don’t want it, like in your knees, kidneys, and arteries. Then on to […]

This week, I reviewed the symptoms of various tick borne illnesses, and what pharmaceuticals are usually given for acute illness. I also discussed herbs that can be helpful, including oregano oil I talked about tick borne relapsing fever, which is more common west of the Rockies, and is not caused by the Lyme species we […]
