While many factors play a role in cognitive health, hormones affect everything, especially our brains. This post details just how important our hormones are for emotional regulation, mood, and cognition.
Candida albicans (intestinal yeast) is a fungal organism that’s a normal and expected presence in our digestive environment. But problems arise—sometimes serious problems—when there’s an overpopulation of pathogenic yeast and it becomes opportunistic.
Despite what you may have heard, cleansing yeast does NOT need to be difficult. And it doesn’t have to take months. Here’s my straightforward protocol for both testing and clearing candida.
Autoimmunity is one disease. When you turn your attention to the root of the imbalance—a hypervigilant, overactive immune system—any and all manifestations of autoimmunity can be addressed.

The 5R approach is a straightforward program for healing the gut and promoting optimal digestion and nutrient assimilation, boosting good gut bacteria, and detoxing. And it’s not as difficult as it sounds!
Wait, I’ve got what? Whether you’re newly diagnosed or Hashimoto’s is an old friend, the language of thyroid health and immune system function can feel opaque and technical. Let’s break it down…
