Is Drinking Soft Water a Good Idea? Wild Foods for Remineralization

In my recent travels to Virginia, I discovered more than just beautiful landscapes – I found wild nutrition right outside my friend's doorstep. This morning while enjoying a delicious frittata, I couldn't resist foraging the yard for some wild accompaniments: honewort, several varieties of dandelion greens, dock leaves, and even some wild strawberries. These foraged treasures not only enhanced my meal but reminded me of the powerful mineral-rich foods that nature provides freely.

During this trip, I also had a unique experience at Farmstead Ferments – my first encounter with water kefir on tap! When I mentioned to the barista that I brew my own water kefir at home, she was surprised, saying I was the first person she'd met who made their own. I sampled all three available flavors: cherry, elderberry, and the unexpected winner – catnip. As a member of the mint family, catnip imparted a subtle, distinctive flavor unlik...

In this episode I explore the fascinating world of mineral balancing and its connection to ADHD. This blog post delves deeper into the insights gained from my interview for the HerBrain summit and my experiences with Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA).

The Zinc-ADHD Connection: One of the most intriguing findings discussed during the interview was the potential link between zinc deficiency and ADHD symptoms. Research suggests that zinc supplementation can lead to a significant reduction - up to 30% - in ADHD medication dosage. This highlights the importance of assessing zinc levels and the zinc/copper ratio in individuals with ADHD.

Understanding ADHD as a Spectrum: It's crucial to recognize that ADHD is not a singular condition but rather a broad label encompassing various symptoms such as:

• Poor attention span
• Unresponsiveness
• Distractibility

These symptoms may stem fro...

In this podcast episode, I explore the critical yet often overlooked topic of adrenal health and how our disconnection from nature may be contributing to a collective adrenal burnout epidemic.

The Adrenal Conversation That Started It All

While driving my teenage sons to work during a particularly blustery March day, I attempted to engage them with a meme I created featuring Gordon Ramsay shouting "NEEDS MORE SALT!" The caption explained how salt cravings can signal struggling adrenal glands and insufficient electrolytes.

When my 17-year-old admitted he didn't even know what adrenal glands were, I was momentarily horrified by what felt like a parental oversight. This led to an impromptu health lesson about these vital stress-regul...
