Most people associate parasitic infection with symptoms like weight loss, always feeling hungry & experiencing nutrition deficiencies. However because parasites can manifest all throughout the body and not just the gut, symptoms of parasitic infection are vast. These are some common symptoms of parasitic infection that you may be unfamiliar with... Cracked heels Eye floaters Constipation, diarrhea or alternating between the two Vertical wrinkles around mouth Fingernail biting Dry lips Parallel lines in soles of feet Excess boogers/scab-like boogers Anemia Allergies/food sensitivities Bed wetting Anxiety & depression Asthma Night sweats Sexual dysfunction Numbness/tingling in hands & feet Sugar cravings Click here to learn more about parasite cleansing. #parasites #parasitecleanse #parasitedetox #crackedheels #fullmooncleanse #fullmoondetox #tapeworms #eyefloaters #parasiteprevention #parasiterelief #fingernailbiting #parasiteawareness #parasitecleansediet #whipworm #parasiteremedies #sugarcravings #constipationrelief #liverfluke #diarrhearelief #roundworm #ascaris #sexualdysfunction #strongyloides #insomniarelief #hookworm #nightsweats #antiparisiticdiet #anemia #bedwetting #boogers

Did you know 81% of mental health workers shared anecdotal evidence of a connection between mental illness and the full moon? They noticed their patients experienced increases in anger, irritability, anxiety, depression, headaches and panic attacks around the full moon. Patients with bipolar disorder switched rapidly from a depressive state to mania. If you struggle with any of these and notice symptoms are accentuated around the full moon the catalyst could be parasitic infection. Parasites are more active around the full moon when your body naturally produces more serotonin (which they are attracted to) and less melatonin (which helps your immune system fight them). Parasites interfere with neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and acetylcholine. All of these neurotransmitters impact mental health and mood. GABA calms the body and helps prevent anxiety. While it's a calming agent for people, it paralyzes parasites. Parasites release chemicals to hinder GABA production to protect themselves. Low GABA levels can trigger anger, anxiety, depression, headaches, panic attacks and more. Parasites cause dopamine levels to rise which tricks the immune system from recognizing them. They also need dopamine to reproduce. Elevated dopamine leads to anxiety, aggression and agitation, depression, hyperactivity, increased stress and insomnia. Parasites have serotonin receptors and hijack this hormone, making you deficient. Low levels of serotonin are typically associated with anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Parasites feed on acetylcholine for nourishment. Low levels of acetylcholine can leave you feeling drained, moody and confused. This month's full moon is on November 19th. It's a great time to try parasite cleansing - it will be an almost total lunar eclipse so they're probably be extra rowdy. Perfect time to knock them out!

Parasite cleansing has so many health benefits like improving digestive issues, fighting viruses, improving cholesterol, weight loss, combating sleep issues, healing anxiety and mood disorders and potentially even fighting cancer. Click here to see a list of some of the more common parasite symptoms to see how you measure up. I use CellCore's Para Kit because it's organic, strong & works all throughout the body, not just in the gut. It's also designed to address worms, larva, eggs and biofilm as well as microscopic parasites, candida and viruses. Most protocols don't check these boxes. Most people need two kits to feel like they're "cleared out" but I play that by ear with my clients based on how they're feeling and if they're still passing pathogens. Most people parasite cleanse several days before and after the full moon because that's when parasites are most active and you can maximize your efforts, but some people take it all month long because they are continuing to expel parasites. The kit has four different products that work synergistically to 1. Scrub the gut (Check out this vid on biofilm to see why this is an important step!) 2. Detach, kill and remove pathogens 3. Bind and remove excess toxins that parasites release when they die 4. Boost immunity. Brace yourself for this, it can be very jarring at what comes out! This is a video I made with my clients' pics (it's a bit graphic) but will give you an idea of what you may see. The most important thing to keep in mind while parasite cleansing is that you want to be moving your bowels regularly. Parasites release heavy metals & other toxins when they die and if you are backed up at all these toxins can get recirculated & make you sick. If you have difficulty in that area I'd recommend using Bowel Mover. For those that suffer from severe digestion issues, a month on the Energy + Drainage protocol may be necessary to get the bowels moving regularly and prepare the body for parasite detox. It's also very helpful to eat mindfully while parasite cleansing as well in efforts to starve them out and maximize cleanse results. This is a great anti-parasite meal plan for those that need more guidance. The kit will come with dosing instructions for beginner, intermediate & advanced. Listen to your body, start slow and increase dosing if you feel good! It is recommended to take the protocol at least two hours apart from any prescrition medication. Please message me so we can discuss. Biotoxin Binder is included in the Para Kit. I break my binders open and drink them in water - that way they can start binding to toxins in your mouth! Not everyone is up for that but it's something to keep in mind. Also, if you take any vitamins or supplements - take them with the binder. The binder will help deliver them to the cells! This detox is safe for children but please message me for child dosing. The parasite cleanse is not advised if you are pregnant or nursing. Make sure you are aware of parasite die-off symptoms and how to manage them. Be prepared with your detox support tools should you encounter die off. Remember, parasites can exit any pathway designed to eliminate toxins so be on the lookout. As always, make sure you work with a practitioner like myself so that you can get guidance when these things arise. If you're concerned the root cause of your health condition could stem beyond parasites, message me to take a self-assessment! A host of toxins and pathogens can be at the root of chronic disease (parasites, mold, candida, glyphosate, SIBO, thyroid dysfunction, heavy metals, radioactive elements, etc.) and they are often not captured in various labs/testing. Matching symptoms to pathogens helps to formulate a detox + diet protocol to get your health back on track. To register on the CellCore site, use my practitioner code 1WB98bYU.

Thanks to my few friends that still enjoy a diet coke for the inspiration of this post. Highly recommend stevia, and if you must have a soda, try Zevia. "The World Health Organization has finally gotten around to declaring the popular articial sweetener aspartame a potential carcinogen. The ruling comes from sources with WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), who said aspartame will be listed as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” in July 2023. Additional findings from the Joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organization's Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which is in the process of updating its aspartame risk assessment, are also expected." #aspartame #aspartamefree #dontdrinksoda #dietsoda #artificialsweeteners #drinkwater #carcinogenic #carcinogens Click here to learn more.

Insomnia is the worst and without good rest our health will struggle. Insomnia can stem from a number of toxins/pathogens like parasitic infection, mold toxicity, mercury toxicity, thyroid dysfunction or even Lyme disease. It's also the side effect of many prescription medications. You may want to work with a practitioner to see if detoxing pathogens or toxins makes sense, or if there are safer alternatives to your prescription medications. These are some other things you can do help combat sleep issues: 💤Take supplements like CBD, magnesium glycinate, GABA and ashwagandha - they are very calming and promote good sleep. 💤Take Vitamin D - sleep disorders often tend to coincide with a Vitamin D deficiency. 💤 Physically watch the sunrise/sunset outside - natural sunlight sends signals to the brain to help reset your circadian rhythm. 💤 Avoid screens/blue light an hour before bed. Consider blue light blocking glasses and turn the blue light down on your devices. 💤 Keep electronics away from your bed, including clocks & lamps - their voltage can interfere with your ability to sleep. 💤 Minimize EMF radiation. Turn WIFI off at night and put your phone on airplane mode and keep it 6ft away 💤 Try somatic exercises - they can stimulate the parasympathetic system and the rocking motions can mimic how babies are rocked to sleep. 💤 Prayer/meditation - there are lots of great apps that can offer guided meditations to foster great sleep. 💤 Diffuse essential oils like lavender and chamomile and/or rub them on your temples, wrists & neck. 💤Take Epsom salt baths. 💤 Eat a nutrient dense diet high in plants and low in sugar, seed oils, caffeine and alcohol. 💤Exercise. 💤Try journaling - if you have a racing mind, it's amazing how helpful it can be to unload your thoughts onto paper. #imsomniahacks #insomniaproblems #getsomesleep #goodsleep #goodnightssleep #sleepbetter #cantsleep #sleepproblems #insomniagotmelike #insomniaprobs

Most Americans are Vitamin D deficient and when they do get outside, they lather themselves up with toxic sunscreen. We NEED sunshine... and not just for Vitamin D, but so many other things. I am outside at least 30 minutes a day sunscreen-free.

There's a reason it's so relaxing to put your toes in the sand! I do it as frequently as possible. Walking barefoot in nature is SO therapeutic. For those who don't have easy access to the outdoors, there are some great grounding mats out there (see my Amazon storefront). The earth is a giant battery and we are electrical beings. When we walk barefoot (sitting & laying count too) on soil, grass or sand our skin acts as a conductor and we are able to receive a "charge" from the earth. Our heart beat, brain and neurotransmitters all rely on electric activity - when our electricity is off, our health is impacted. When we have an adequate supply of electrons, our immune system functions optimally. #grounding #earthing #antiinflammaatory #healyourbodynaturally #reduceinflammation #natureheals #walkbarefoot #toesinthesand https://www.amazon.com/shop/holisticnutritionist

SO many of my clients have "normal" labs and are told they should feel ok even though they don't. Or their doc tells them how they're feeling is normal and just part of aging. And I've had docs flat out refuse to order certain blood panels that I've asked for because they feel the labs are unnecessary. This is the thing about labs.... result ranges aren't based off of optimal levels, they're based off of averages from the standard American.... which we know are far from optimal. That coupled with insurance constraints that don't allow docs to order the most comprehensive blood panels, many folks don't find they're getting the answers they need to start their healing process. Here are a few other reasons blood labs may fall short: 1. Blood doesn’t necessarily indicate what’s happening in your organs and tissues. 2. Blood is an indicator of what’s happening in the moment but doesn’t necessarily measure what’s happening over a period of time. 3. Because most docs don’t operate holistically, they may be unaware of more appropriate lab tests or may feel uncomfortable ordering them because it’s not within their “scope.” 4. Sometimes there’s a better way to test. Hair testing may be a better marker for heavy metals, saliva for hormones, urine for mold and glyphosate and stool for parasites. There are a wide variety of labs and tests that are able to help you pinpoint the root cause of your health condition(s). Make sure your practitioner uses a variety of testing modalities so you don't get medically gaslit. Click here to see some that I use.

Medical gaslighting is real. If the mainstream school of thought was to regularly detox toxins and pathogens and to make diet/lifestyle changes to reduce your toxic burden, the trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry wouldn't exist. Don't be gaslit like my client. Find a practitioner that BELIEVES you and wants to help you find a root cause healing protocol. Also, you probably have parasites. 😉 #detoxyourbodynaturally #parasites #parasitecleanse #parasitedetox #parasitesarereal #dewormer #cellcore #medicalgaslighting

Happy 4th y'all!
