*Note: this blog is simply a summary of the podcast episode
The transition into late fall and winter can feel abrupt, especially with the diminishing light. For many, this time of year brings a rush of activities, fueled by marketing pressures that start earlier each season. Personally, I’ve stepped back from this hectic cycle, and I often marvel at how I once navigated it without losing my sense of self. Can anyone relate?
If you have kids, school is in full swing, and the holidays are just around the corner. Work often feels like a crunch to get everything done before the year ends. I’ve noticed a similar busy vibe with many of my clients lately.
This cycle of busyness is familiar, but this year feels particularly stressful with everything happening in the world—illness, global challenges, and an overarching sense of...

In this episode, I explore a nourishing journey into the world of wild mushroom hunting, specifically focusing on the wonderful turkey tail mushroom and its role in creating a mineral-rich broth. This approach not only supports our physical health but also encourages a deeper connection with nature.
In our fast-paced lives, many of us find ourselves running on fumes. The constant demands can leave us feeling depleted, over-relying on our sympathetic nervous system and exhausting our mineral reserves. The solution? A slow and steady boost of energy that nourishes us deeply rather than a quick fix.
To combat this, I’ve prioritized creating “white space” in my schedule, allowing myself the freedom to forage and enjoy the serenity of nature. This past summer brought abundant rain, leading to a delightful...

Interestingly, there is a connection between thirst and electrolyte deficiencies. Many individuals wonder why they feel dehydrated and thirsty despite drinking ample water. The truth is, thirst can indicate a lack of electrolytes in...

I’ve been really pimping out my electrolyte recipe lately and when people finally start using it they tend to like how it gives them a bit of a boost/lift.
The fluid and electrolyte system, itself, in the body is dynamic and very difficult to measure. But we do know it depends on access to minerals dissolved in water and proper cellular absorption of those minerals making them bioavailable.

One of the most important functions of electrolytes is to enhance cellular hydration. To most people, hydration just means there is enough water in the body but the real key is to get the water into the cells and make it stay there to perform its biological functions.
Most people tell me: “I didn’t know I needed anything other than water to be hydrated...

In this episode, I share a little recap of my weekend foraging and full moon gathering adventures. We walked a labyrinth which is for brain balancing and had a mini tuning session before we entered. I also learned why you don't want to sleep with your head facing north.

Just a year ago I was not connected to a supportive tribe - I think many of us can relate to how these past couple years have shaken up our lives in many ways : finding our true tribe one of such ways. I’m so grateful because I set an intention after my podcast with Tommy John to find my soul tribe and here I am a year later enjoying the reality of that intention.
Now that the weather is glorious here in the northeast we can really power up from nature - and I want to talk briefly about how we work within nature first then...

In this episode, I'm going back to one of the fundamentals of mineral balancing for overall health and covering MAGNESIUM.

I've talked about it many times on the podcast in the past but I'm always having the same conversation over and over with new people coming in. So I figured it was time to revisit an approach to magnesium, so more people can be more thorough in their approach with a better comprehension. PLUS, I share a 31 question assessment to help you gauge where you are at on the magnesium deficiency scale. Be ready to jot your answers down.
I also shared how to approach getting adequate magnesium with a LOT of caveats -you are gonna want to tune and hear.

Magnesium the miracle mineral could only possible have good intentions and affects, right? While magnesium is an imperative mineral good for human health, sometimes the body is not quite ready to receive it in the way we give it.

In this episode, I dig into what you need to consider if you've tried magnesium and it made you feel worse instead of better. Trust me, you're gonna love this episode. Buckle up because this episode is fueled by my firey side (and lots of LOVE)!
So many people come to the mineral banquet and just assume they can dive right in to their hearts content (metaphorically speaking), yet often times there is a lot going on in their system that could make it not go down so smoothly.
I start the episode with a REFRAME we all need to hear whether we are dealing with magnesium backfiring or not.
I also referenced plenty...
There is a bit of a hierarchy when it comes to minerals - we have our macro minerals and the main two most of us know are calcium and magnesium. This mineral pair really cannot be separated and requires the OPPOSITE balance we've been taught. We really need a higher magnesium and lower calcium consumption for optimal energy and health.

In this episode, I dig into this a bit more and help you understand how to look at these two minerals in light of our modern diet. Make sure you are looking at these two closely in your diet so you can make to avoid the problems of calcification.

In this episode, I'm talking about the health of your kidneys. Most of us take our kidneys for granted every single day. We don't really think about them until one day something goes wrong, like kidney stones for example. It's important to know in advance that the kidneys need minerals, not medication.

The kidneys maintain mineral and healthy fluid balance.
But you've got to give them the raw ingredients to work with so they don't struggle to do their job.
Kidneys need hydration to be ON POINT.
True hydration is water plus minerals
Dehydration concentrates calcium and other minerals in the urine.
Water follows salt. Salt has to be ON POINT.
Real salt consumed for your daily functioning needs.
Magnesium has to be ON POINT.
The kidney has a vital role in magnesium homeostasis, deficiency (which is common)causes them to struggle
