When Life Takes Over: How to Stay Balanced

By

Simple practices for staying balanced when stress or the holidays pull you off center

With the holidays approaching, I know oh-so well how quickly pressure can build, how ordinary tasks can feel more challenging, and how easily our minds can slip into overdrive. I know this oh-so well, too, what I describe isn’t limited to one season; life gives us plenty of opportunities to feel out of balance. But the holidays add another layer of pressure that can add to the overwhelm we’re already endeavoring to handle. These are the simple practices I’ve learned over the years to bring me back to myself. I hope you find at least one to help you, too.

1. Return to Your Body

Stress pulls attention everywhere and anywhere into the future. Your body brings you back into the present.

Plant your feet on the floor. Feel the weight shift downward. Let your exhale run a little longer than your inhale.

This small change—lengthening the exhale—signals your vagus nerve to shift out of the fear-based fight-or-flight mode. The pressure sensors in your feet send information up through your nervous system that says, “You’re supported. You’re safe.” It’s deceptively simple and profoundly regulating.

2. Look Around the Room

When the mind tightens and loses perspective, widening your visual field breaks the cycle.

Turn your head slowly. Let your eyes land on a few neutral or pleasant objects. Notice a color, a shape, or a texture. This simple act—called orienting—tells the brain that the environment is safe, which eases internal tension. It stops the spiral inward and uses your external surroundings to reset your autonomic system.

3. Use the Breath To Calm

Not all breathing techniques are meant for grounding; some are energizing. When you need to rebalance yourself, choose one of these:

  • Inhale for four, exhale for six or eight
  • Two small inhales followed by a long sigh (the physiological sigh)
  • Even, quiet box breathing (4–4–4–4).

These patterns dial down activation without creating more intensity. They work because the exhale engages the parasympathetic branch of your nervous system—the part that helps you rest and recover. Save the rapid or forceful breathing for when you need energy, not calm.

4. Step Into the Light

A few minutes of natural light can shift your entire state. Walk outside. Let the sun reach your face or hands. Pause there—no multitasking, no rushing.

Light is one of the simplest ways Nature provides to help your system regulate. Sunlight helps reduce cortisol, entrains your circadian rhythm, and signals safety at a deep biological level. There’s no faster external reset.

5. Stand on the Earth

Bare feet on natural ground offer a kind of steadiness nothing else does. Grass, soil, sand, or stone—any of them work. A minute or two is enough to interrupt mental noise and confusion and help you feel anchored again. Your sensory system gets direct information through your feet that quells cognitive overwhelm. Whether it’s the electrical grounding or simply the tactile experience, your nervous system responds… and fast.

6. Use Supportive Touch

Touch is a reliable way to calm the body from the inside out.

Place one hand on your chest and one on your abdomen. Or rest your palms on your thighs for a moment. Self-touch releases oxytocin and activates the parts of your brain that counterbalance stress. It’s a quiet reminder that you are safe, in the now, and you’re not leaving yourself behind. Think of this practice as an anchoring friend.

7. Move Slowly

When everything feels fast, your body benefits from rhythm and pace.

Sway gently. Walk slowly. Rock in a chair if you have one.

Slow movement—even for just a minute—calms the deeper structures of your brain that process rhythm and balance. This is why rocking a baby works. Your nervous system responds to rhythm the same way.

8. Let Water Bring You Back

Water has a grounding effect that works quickly.

Rinse your hands under warm water. Splash cool water on your face. Hold a warm mug and feel the temperature through your palms.

Temperature and touch combined interrupt thought loops faster than almost anything cognitive. Simple sensory anchors like this regulate your system in real time.

9. Step Into the Witness

Stress collapses everything inward. Shifting into observation opens a spaciousness.

Try saying, “Stress is here, and I’m noticing it.” Or, “There is stress here, and I am the one noticing it.”

This shift in language—speaking as the witness rather than from inside the spiral—creates instant spaciousness around the emotion. It doesn’t deny your experience; it gives you room to breathe and reminds you that you are larger than what you’re feeling.

10. Ask a Clear-Sighted Question

When emotions rise, these simple questions can help you reorient:

  • What is actually happening right now?
  • Where does it show up in my body?
  • Can I let it move through without holding it, and… without pushing it down?

These questions restore perspective without pushing anything away. They’re simple, but direct pathways back into awareness, back into the part of you that can observe without being consumed.

A Final Thought on Balance

Grounding isn’t a grand practice; it’s a way to return to balance. A return to your body, to your breath, to the moment in front of you. Any one of these oh-so simple practices can help you find your footing again—whether it’s the holiday rush or an ordinary Tuesday that caught you off guard. If you’d like to explore this more deeply, you can read one of my reflections on slowing down.

When “Healthy” Still Feels Wrong: What Your Body’s Been Trying to Tell You

By

You wake up tired. Again.

Not the kind of tired that coffee fixes or a good night’s sleep remedies. The kind that lives in your bones. The kind that makes you wonder if you’re imagining it, or worse, you believe this is just how life feels now that you are getting older.

You’ve cleaned up your diet. You’re taking supplements. You’ve seen the specialists, done the blood work, followed your doctor’s advice. And still… the brain fog takes over by noon. The anxiety buzzes beneath everything you do. Your gut struggles against foods that used to be fine. Your skin breaks out for no apparent reason. You gain weight even though you’re not doing anything differently.

So you try harder. More elimination. Stricter routines. Another practitioner. Another test. Another “this should work.”

But it doesn’t.

Not because you’re doing it wrong. Not because you need to try harder.

It’s because you’ve been treating symptoms while the real problems remain untouched below the surface… and off the radar of consideration.

Here’s what your doctor isn’t testing for:

Your annual physical checks cholesterol, blood sugar, maybe thyroid. It looks at what’s happening right now in your bloodstream, at this exact moment. But it doesn’t measure what’s been building up in your tissues, your fat cells, your brain, and your bones for years.

It doesn’t test for the hundreds of chemicals you touch, breathe, eat every single day. Plastic wrap. Body wash. Windex. Tap water.  Air pollution. The test doesn’t measure the heavy metals accumulating from contaminated water, dental work, fish. It doesn’t detect mycotoxins from mold exposures. It doesn’t consider the cocktail of pesticides you’re exposed to everyday.

So when you reach for another supplement to boost energy, another elimination diet to calm inflammation, another adaptogen for anxiety, you’re addressing the alarm. You’re not investigating the fire.

And look, I get it. You’re doing what you’ve been told to do. There’s no shortage of “experts” out there telling you what’s best. It gets confusing. But these aren’t band-aids on small cuts. They’re band-aids over a splinter that’s been festering for years, getting deeper, spreading infection you can’t see but your body absolutely feels.

Your body has been screaming… You’ve just been given the wrong translator.

Let me show you what actually happens when toxins build up:

Phthalates from plastics. Mercury from fish. Ochratoxin A from mold. They don’t just get in and leave. They lodge in fat tissue. They cross the blood-brain barrier. They bind to receptor sites meant for hormones. They damage your mitochondria, the power plants of your cells. Less ATP. Less energy. More fatigue. You know the feeling.

Your liver is already working overtime to process normal metabolic waste. Now it has to detoxify synthetic chemicals it was never designed to handle. It gets overwhelmed. Detox pathways clog. Toxins recirculate. Your gut lining gets inflamed. Your hormones go haywire because your endocrine system is being hijacked by endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

And then there’s the emotional toll, which nobody talks about enough.

You start doubting yourself. Maybe I’m just stressed. Maybe I’m not trying hard enough. Maybe this is just aging. The fatigue turns to frustration. The frustration breeds anxiety. You cancel plans. You withdraw. You wonder if people think you’re making it up. Maybe you even wonder if you’re making it up.

But here’s what’s really happening… you’re getting disconnected from your own body’s wisdom. When nothing makes sense anymore, when your body feels like a mystery you can’t solve, you stop trusting your gut. You stop trusting yourself. And that might be the hardest part of all this.

Because this isn’t just your gut or your hormones or your energy. It’s everything unraveling because your body has been poisoned. Slowly. Quietly. Over time, and for years.

So here’s what changes everything: You can’t heal what you can’t measure.

The Total Tox Burden Test makes the invisible visible.

It’s an at-home urine test.  Super simple. But super simple doesn’t mean it’s a light-weight. The Total Tox Burden Test measures 20 heavy metals (mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, aluminum), 29 mycotoxins (aflatoxin, ochratoxin A, zearalenone—all the mold toxins), and 38 environmental chemicals (phthalates, parabens, glyphosate, VOCs, pesticides, plastics).

Standard medicine treats symptoms. You’re anxious? Here’s an SSRI. Inflamed? Here’s a steroid. Exhausted? Maybe exercise more.

Foundational medicine asks better questions. Why are you anxious? What’s driving the inflammation? Where’s the energy blockage?

But even more progressive practitioners miss the mark if they don’t account for toxic burden. And I see this all the time; people eating clean, taking supplements, doing everything “right.” But if you’re not clearing chemicals, metals, mold? You’re icing a mud pie… and any results gained will be short-lived.

The real problems aren’t only stress or diet or genetics.

They’re heavy metals disrupting your neurotransmitters and hormones. Mycotoxins triggering immune chaos and chronic inflammation. Environmental chemicals acting as endocrine disruptors — literally mimicking your hormones and confusing every system in your body.

Root-cause, foundational medicine healing asks: Why is the signal firing in the first place? 

The Total Tox Burden Test answers these kinds of questions. With clear, irrefutable data. No guessing. No interpretation needed. It shows you exactly what’s overwhelming your system, hindering normal detox processes, causing a laundry list of symptoms and health challenges, and keeping you stuck.

So what do you actually do?

Order the test. Collect your urine at home. Forward with prepaid shipping. Easy-peasy clear instructions. Within days you get a comprehensive analysis from a CLIA-certified[1], CAP-accredited lab showing your exact toxic burden across all three categories.

Then use the results to guide your detox strategy. Not some generic “cleanse” or trendy protocol. A personalized approach based on your body’s specific accumulations. Maybe you’re high in any or all of the environmental toxins and need targeted binders and protocols. Maybe mold toxins are your primary issue and you need to address your living environment. Maybe it’s a combination, which is why symptoms have been so hard to address.

Work with a practitioner who understands toxicology and root-cause medicine. This test is the map. But you need a guide who knows how to safely mobilize toxins, support drainage pathways, rebuild your body’s detox capacity without overwhelming your system even more.

This test is for you if:

You’ve worked with great practitioners but still feel off and no one can tell you why. You suspect mold, metal, or chemical exposure but have no confirmation. You’re tired of guessing. You want real answers. You want a clearer picture before starting any detox protocol.

Real healing doesn’t start when you find the perfect supplement or the perfect diet.

It starts when you stop fighting your symptoms and start listening to what they’re telling you.

Your body isn’t defective. It’s burdened… The modern world is laden with chemicals our bodies natural detox systems can’t handle.

But fortunately, this burden can be measured, understood, systematically reduced.

You deserve to know what’s been holding you back.

You deserve to feel your best.

The answers you’ve been searching for? They’re available with this test… and the correlative analysis I provide.

You just needed the right test to identify them.

Why Treating Symptoms Instead of Root Causes Destroys Your Health (and Your Spirit)

By

Have you ever had a headache?

Of course you have. Recent studies show that 52% of the global population experiences active headaches, but you don’t need a statistic to know this truth – you’ve lived it.

Let’s look back at your own headache experience for a second.

Your alarm goes off, you hit snooze once or twice, then finally drag yourself out of bed, and there it is: that tightness in your neck, the pressure behind your eyes. You’ve woken up with a headache.

So you trudge to the bathroom, grab some aspirin, wash it down with coffee, and wait for relief.

In a few hours, hopefully sooner, the pain subsides. You feel better. Problem solved – or is it?

The Quick Fix vs. The Real Cause

If you pay close attention, there’s one split-second thought that flashes through your mind on that walk to the bathroom:

“I know why this is happening.”

If you’re in your twenties, maybe you’ll say, “Yeah, I overdid it on the drinks last night.”

If you’re a new parent: “Baby didn’t sleep, so I didn’t get enough sleep – no wonder.”

If you’re working long hours: “Too much screen time again.”

Those thoughts pass in a millisecond, and then you reach for the pain relief.

But there’s something happening in that millisecond that most of us miss entirely. A choice, though it doesn’t feel like one. One path: we acknowledge why the headache is there – we said it ourselves on our walk to the bathroom – and then we suppress the symptom and move on. The other path: we listen to what our body is actually saying to us, and rather than acquiescing to the quick fix, we look to see if there’s a problem we need to address.

Most of us don’t even register the choice. We move on autopilot, so the second doesn’t even appear as an option. The master of understanding the unconscious mind, Carl Jung said,

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” 

Now imagine you never change the habit, the root cause – say, the daily drinking, but keep masking the symptom with aspirin. What’s happening inside your body after weeks, months, or years of this pattern?

Just because the headache is ‘erased’ doesn’t mean the problem isn’t compounding. You’ve removed the symptom but not solved the root cause.

That one drink (and the daily aspirin) can and does trigger a whole chain reaction behind the scenes:

  • Irritates your stomach lining
  • Forces the liver to work overtime
  • Inflames the pancreas
  • Raises your blood pressure
  • Disrupts heart rhythm
  • Affects your nervous system
  • Strains your kidneys
  • Represses your immune system

All while you think there’s no problem.

The Domino Effect: Body, Mind, and Spirit

The dominoes that fall aren’t just physical.

What happens to you emotionally and spiritually when your body keeps breaking down from both the quick fix and the deeper cause, while the pill gives you instant relief?

When you wake up every day foggy and inflamed, what happens to your thoughts, your energy, your self-belief?

Maybe you start thinking you’re just lazy or unmotivated. And once those beliefs take hold, they seep into who you think you are, who you think you’re not… and, consequently, everything you do.

Like a nebulous fog taking over, because you can’t see the far-reaching damage to your thoughts and spirit, you stop trusting yourself, your inner knowing, and even your body. You stop recognizing your ability to discern the cues your body is sending you.

And when you stop hearing the cues your body sends you, your relationship to your intuition – that still small voice within – fractures.

This is the mechanism we don’t discuss in medicine: every time we muffle the cues our body sends us rather than listen to them, we sever a very important connection. We train ourselves to see our body’s signals as problems to be eliminated rather than information to be interpreted.

When we disconnect from our body and all the ways it speaks to us, we disconnect from our deeper inner knowing, our spirit. And when we forget who we are at this level, when we lose touch with that internal compass that knows what’s true before our mind can explain it, we become unmoored and at the whim of literally everything and everyone around us.

That’s not healing. That’s spiritual bereftness, or perhaps even worse, spiritual bypassing —a poverty of the soul in which we’ve lost access to our own internal guidance system. And from this place, it’s very hard, if not impossible, to trust ourselves and the decisions we make.

Why Symptom-Based Healing Fails (and Root-Cause Healing Works)

Headaches are easy to spot, but this same pattern shows up everywhere in modern medicine:

Anxiety gets an SSRI. Irritable bowel gets antispasmodics or acid reducers. Hypothyroidism gets hormone replacement. Acne gets birth control or antibiotics. Fatigue gets energy drinks and caffeine. PMS gets painkillers and synthetic hormones.  Sleep issues get melatonin or sleeping pills. Depression gets chemical antidepressants. Joint pain gets NSAIDs or steroids. Brain fog gets stimulants or nootropics.

These medications can be life-changing when needed, but most are designed to treat symptoms rather than address root causes.

And I want to be clear: I’m not suggesting you white-knuckle through pain you don’t have to endure, or that taking medication means you’ve failed somehow. Sometimes you need the aspirin to get through the day. Sometimes the SSRI is what allows you to function. The medication itself isn’t the problem.

The problem is when we stop at symptom relief and never ask what else could be going on, when we use the pill as the solution instead of a temporary fix, when we mistake the absence of pain for the presence of health.

When root causes like environmental toxins, nutrient deficiencies, chronic inflammation, and unresolved emotional trauma go unaddressed, we end up treating symptoms while the fire below keeps spreading.

This isn’t just theoretical, it’s something I see in my client work every day.

A client came to me with “managed” hypothyroidism. After years of dosage adjustments, she still felt exhausted, her hair was thinning, and she couldn’t lose weight. ‘I can’t tell if I’m hungry or anxious, tired or depressed.’ Years of medicating had eroded her ability to discern what her body was saying.

That’s the disconnection from self I’m talking about.

The medication was replacing her thyroid hormone, but it wasn’t addressing why her thyroid struggled in the first place, why her body couldn’t use the hormone it was getting, or why she’d stopped trusting her own internal signals entirely. Through our work together, we slowly rebuilt the connection—body to mind, mind to spirit. Within six months, her energy returned and her hair stopped falling out. She got her health back. But more than that—she can hear and trust her body again

The medication managed her lab values, but root-cause, mind-body-spirit healing restored her connection to herself.

The Instant Gratification Trap

This pattern isn’t isolated to medicine. It’s embedded in how we live.

In a world of instant gratification, where there’s a pill for every ill and Amazon delivers tomorrow, it’s no surprise our approach to health mirrors our approach to everything else. “How we do anything is how we do everything.”

We want relief now. We want ‘it’ gone. Click, buy, fix, deliver.

Our entire way of life reflects our preference for quick fixes over the deeper work that is more often needed. Immediate gratification isn’t just about pills, food, social media, or the dopamine hits we’ve come to seek; it’s baked into our entire relationship with who we think we are and what we think we are capable of… including our health.

And that mindset keeps us locked in a symptom-based healing ideology rather than real root-cause healing work.

That hangover headache, the one from the drinks, or the late night, or too much screen time.

What happens if you don’t immediately reach for the aspirin? If you sit with it for five minutes and ask: what are you trying to tell me?

Maybe the answer is straightforward: I need to drink less. I need more sleep. I need boundaries with work.

Or maybe it’s layered: I’m using alcohol to numb something I don’t want to feel. I’m exhausted because I don’t like who I am when I slow down for too long. I’m staring at screens because I’m avoiding what I actually know I need to address.

Your body already knows.

A Holistic Approach to Real Healing

In my 15 years as a health coach,  I’ve seen it over and over: root causes of illness can be anything—gut imbalance, toxicity, emotional repression, spiritual disconnection, chronic stress.

And here’s what matters: you can address every physical root cause, fix the gut, balance the hormones, remove the toxins, and still not feel whole if you haven’t restored the fundamental connection between body and spirit.

Real healing isn’t just solving the physical puzzle. It’s rebuilding trust with yourself.

So before you reach for another quick-fix pill, injection, or supplement to numb the pain, pause.

Listen to your body. Get curious. Ask, “What are you trying to tell me?”

And if that question feels impossible to answer, if you hear nothing but confusion, start smaller:

Ask, “Where in my body do I feel this?” (Not just “I have a headache” but: pressure behind the eyes? Tension in the neck? Tightness in the jaw?)

What was happening in the hours before this started? (Not just yesterday’s drinking, but: Was I holding my breath during that meeting? Did I skip meals? Am I dehydrated?)

What pattern am I noticing? (Does this happen every Sunday night? Every time I talk to this person? Every month at the same point in my cycle?)

You’re not looking for the perfect answer. You’re rebuilding a relationship, a communication line, that’s vital to your health.

Because turning off a symptom is not the same as turning off the root cause.

The work of listening is harder than swallowing a pill. But it’s the only path back to yourself. And that self? Has been waiting for you to tune back in for a long time.

Soil to Cell Coherence: Remembering What Feels Alive

By

I’ve explored nearly every way of eating imaginable. I’ve been vegan. I’ve followed paleo. I use organ-based supplements to rebuild hormone balance after coming off thyroid medication.

But one memory persists — how incredible I felt when I began each morning with fresh-pressed juices, when my meals overflowed with living fruits and vegetables, when food felt like energy, vitality, and sunlight in tangible rubber-on-the-road ways. The clarity and energy I felt were undeniable.

When my hormones shifted after I took myself off thyroid medication, I sensed a need for a little clean, pasture-raised, and wild-caught animal protein to help bring my hormones back into balance. It was humbling and exciting to realize that I needed to learn more about the breadth of what the dietary spectrum has to teach.

This realization sent me deep into the research — and what I do every day for work for CellCore naturally became the tool I used to explore my own questions. I wanted to understand why this middle ground made sense to me now, despite my reverence for the plant-based philosophy. What I discovered is what I now call “soil to cell coherence” — the idea that true nourishment depends on the connection between the microbes in the soil, the vitality of plants, and the intelligence of the human cell.

Protein: The Science Beneath the Debate

There’s a lot of debate around protein. But what gets lost is the simple truth: the body needs enough to repair, rebuild, and sustain, but not as much as some camps assert.

The baseline recommendation is about 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day to prevent deficiencies. But this is the minimum for survival, not the mark of optimal health.

Clinical studies show that adults, especially those of us over fifty or recovering from stress or illness, do better with 1.0 to 1.2 grams per kilogram. Highly active people may benefit from up to 1.6 grams.¹²³ Those ranges help maintain lean muscle, steady metabolism, and, in my personal and clinical experience, they’re vital for healing from toxin exposures.

A well-planned vegan diet can easily meet those needs. The key is variety — and enough total protein. In his book, Eat To Live, vegan doctor, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, recommends soy, lentils, quinoa, hemp, and peas to be sure to get every essential amino acid. What matters most though isn’t the label on the diet, it’s whether your body is getting the raw materials it needs to repair, renew, and rebuild itself.

Where Veganism Shines — and Where It Can Falter

Whole-food, plant-based diets offer, with lots of fresh, live, and local vegetables and fruits, provides powerful benefits. They calm inflammation, support heart health, and improve insulin sensitivity.⁴ They’re rich in polyphenols, antioxidants, and fiber — nutrients that feed a diverse and resilient gut microbiome.

But certain nutrients, such as vitamin B12, iron, zinc, DHA, and selenium, can be harder to get in full measure from plants alone.⁵⁶ Many long-time vegans stay vibrant by supplementing or adding functional foods that bridge those gaps… and supplementing with pills and potions out of necessity just doesn’t make sense to me, since I believe nature provides.

This is where We Are the New Farmers spirulina fits beautifully. It’s a living, nutrient-dense plant protein, full of chlorophyll, B vitamins, and trace minerals. It carries the same bright, life-force energy I feel in a glass of fresh juice!

For me, adding a small amount of clean, consciously raised animal protein brings grounding and stability. It provides easily absorbed nutrients, such as heme iron, vitamin A in its active form, and zinc, which are all crucial for cellular repair, metabolic function, and sustained energy.⁷

The Living Thread: From Soil to Cell

Science, and one of my current favorite doctors, Dr. Zach Bush, are now confirming what intuition has long known: our health mirrors the health of the soil. Regenerative farming restores microbial life to the earth and, with it, the nutrient richness of the plants and animals it nourishes.⁸⁹

Researchers are now even mapping the connections between the soil microbiome, the plant microbiome, and our own gut ecosystem — marking a living thread of communication that runs through all of life, what Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh called the interbeingness of life. ¹⁰

When that thread stays intact, food becomes information the body recognizes. When it breaks, even ‘perfect’ diets lose meaning.

How I Practice Soil to Cell Coherence

  • Begin with life. Each morning I have a shote of wheatgrass, fresh pressed juice and/or spirulina in my smoothie, to cleanse my palate and remind my body what real, living food tastes and feels like.
  • Honor protein needs. I build each meal with intention, whether lentils and quinoa or a small portion of regeneratively raised fish or eggs.
  • Close the gaps. I supplement B 12 and DHA if I feel needed.
  • Feed the microbiome. I fill my week with a wide variety of plants — thirty or more whenever possible — and weave in living ferments that sustain the diversity a healthy gut depends on.
  • Support the soil. I buy from local, organic farms that work with nature rather than against it.

Closing Reflection

Whether vegan, omnivore, or somewhere in between, the goal is the same, to live in coherence and alignment with Mother Nature and her ecosystems that sustain us. For me, that means choosing foods that carry vitality and deep nourishment from the soil to the cell, and honoring the intelligence of Nature itself.

Your Body Needs Complete Protein. Most Plants Can’t Deliver It.

By

Your body requires nine essential amino acids. Every day. It can’t manufacture them, so you need to eat them.

Most plant proteins are incomplete. Rice is missing lysine. Beans are low in methionine. You combine foods to get what you need, and some days it works, some days it doesn’t. With the protein craze, my clients ask me about this constantly.

Spirulina is 60-70% protein by weight. All nine essential amino acids. Complete.

For comparison: chicken breast is 31% protein, eggs are 13%, beans run 20-25%. But the percentage only matters if your body can actually use it.

Absorption Changes Everything

Spirulina lacks cellulose cell walls. This is no small detail. It means your digestive system breaks it down easily—the protein gets absorbed instead of passing through undigested.

The iron bioavailability tells another story. Studies show spirulina’s iron absorbs significantly better than spinach, kale, or other plant sources. If you’ve been tracking low iron for years, eating more greens doesn’t always fix it. Absorption does.

Then there’s B12. You basically can’t get it from plants. Except spirulina has it. Along with the full B-complex, spirulina provides vitamins A, E, and K. Plus calcium, magnesium, zinc, selenium.

And… gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)—an omega-6 most people run low on without knowing it.

That Blue Pigment Matters

Phycocyanin gives spirulina its color. It’s also a potent antioxidant.

The mechanism of this antioxidant is straightforward: antioxidants neutralize free radicals, those unstable molecules that damage cells. This reduces oxidative stress, which links to cardiovascular disease, cellular aging, and pretty much every chronic condition we want to avoid.

Research shows phycocyanin reduces inflammation markers, supports cellular repair, and offers neuroprotective effects. Measured outcomes, not wellness bio-hacking and clever marketing.

What Happens in Your Body

Studies document these changes with regular spirulina intake:

Immune function improves. Natural killer cells—the ones that patrol for infections and abnormal cells—increase their activity. Cytokine production balances. Your immune system responds more effectively to threats.

Energy stabilizes through the day. B vitamins fuel cellular energy production. Bioavailable iron carries oxygen to every cell. Complete protein sustains you without the afternoon crash.

Metabolic markers shift. Clinical trials show improvements in lipid profiles, blood glucose regulation, cardiovascular health. The effects are modest but reproducible.

Mental clarity sharpens. Reduced mental fatigue. Better cognitive performance under load. Some research suggests protection against cognitive decline.

Your gut microbiome changes. Spirulina promotes beneficial bacteria, which affects everything from nutrient absorption to immune function to how your brain produces neurotransmitters.

This research spans hundreds of peer-reviewed studies. The evidence isn’t preliminary, it’s rock solid.

Most Spirulina Is Dead on Arrival

Here’s the problem with powdered spirulina that many endorse: it’s been spray-dried, possibly months ago. The algae was harvested overseas, dehydrated at high temperatures, pressed into pills with binding agents, shipped thousands of miles.

By the time you open it, the enzymes are destroyed. The nutrients aren’t bioavailable. And it tastes like pond water because the quality control on outdoor ponds is variable at best.

Your body can’t absorb what’s already degraded.

Fresh-Frozen Keeps Everything Intact

We Are The New Farmers grows spirulina indoors in Brooklyn, NY. Controlled conditions year-round. Filtered water. No outdoor ponds, no contamination risk.

Their process: harvest the algae, filter it, gently press out excess water, flash-freeze immediately. That’s it.

No spray drying. No processing. No additives. The spirulina is alive when it freezes, which preserves the natural enzymes and co-factors your body needs for absorption.

Each batch gets tested by third-party labs for heavy metals and contaminants. Every pod contains 100% Arthrospira platensis and nothing else.

One pod delivers the micronutrient equivalent of a full day’s greens. Two pods pack the protein of an egg. But unlike that powder some recommend, fresh-frozen spirulina tastes mild and blends creamy—almost like adding frozen banana to your smoothie, but with 60% more protein and actual bioavailable nutrition. A few months in, this has become the best part of my morning routine.

Source Quality Isn’t Optional

Spirulina grown in contaminated water concentrates heavy metals and toxins. This is documented. Outdoor ponds carry risks. Overseas operations vary wildly in standards.

When you’re consuming something daily, source matters more than price. We Are The New Farmers controls every variable—indoor growing, water filtration, immediate freezing, and third-party testing. Verification comes with each batch.

How This Actually Works

One to two pods in your blender every morning. Add fruit, greens, liquid of choice. Blend for 30 seconds.

Your body gets complete protein with all essential amino acids, bioavailable iron, B12, 40+ micronutrients, and cellular antioxidants. The subscription delivers monthly, pods go in your freezer, and you stop thinking about it.

Your energy distribution evens out. Your body gets consistent nutrition even on chaotic days when meals fall apart.

A few months in, the difference shows up. Not dramatically, not overnight. Just steadier. Better. Reliable. Enough that I recommend it to clients now, and they’re reporting the same results.

What I actually blend: 1-2 spirulina pods, 2 cups wild frozen blueberries (brain food), handful of spinach (folate and magnesium), 1 cup almond milk. Blend 30 seconds in my Vitamix. Add 1/4 avocado. Blend another 15 seconds. Done.

This Makes Sense If

Your protein intake varies day to day and you’re tired of tracking it.

Your iron runs low no matter how much spinach you eat.

You want B12 without adding animal products or questionable supplements.

You value research-backed nutrition over wellness trends.

You refuse to compromise on quality or taste.

Try It

Order a month’s supply. One pod every morning for 30 days.

Either your energy stabilizes, your body responds, and you keep going. Or it doesn’t work for you, and you’re done.

30 days will tell you everything you need to know.

The research exists. The product delivers.

Just maybe don’t lead with “I blend algae every morning” at your next dinner party. Work up to it. Trust me on this one.

I partnered with We Are The New Farmers because the product works. When you order through my link, I earn a small commission. You get the same price, I get compensated for the research. Fair exchange.

Note: I spent weeks in the research so you don’t have to. If I’m committing to an auto-subscription, I want to feel solid on exactly what I’m getting. This is the best addition I’ve added to my health regime in a long time. 

Do Not Lose Heart, We Were Made For These Times

This is the original letter in full as written, unabridged, from Clarissa Pinkola Estés, a writer whose every work I recommend. If you have Audible, be sure to listen to her read her books there as well. There may be no more captivating storyteller ever.

Mis estimados queridos, My Esteemed Ones:

Do not lose heart. We were made for these times.

I have heard from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world right now. It is true, one has to have strong cojones and ovarios to withstand much of what passes for “good” in our culture today. Abject disregard of what the soul finds most precious and irreplaceable and the corruption of principled ideals have become, in some large societal arenas, “the new normal,” the grotesquerie of the week.

It is hard to say which one of the current egregious matters has rocked people’s worlds and beliefs more. Ours is a time of almost daily jaw-dropping astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people.

…You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking.

Yet … I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is – we were made for these times.

Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement. I cannot tell you often enough that we are definitely the leaders we have been waiting for, and that we have been raised, since childhood, for this time precisely.

…I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able crafts in the waters than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind.

I would like to take your hands for a moment and assure you that you are built well for these times. Despite your stints of doubt, your frustrations in arighting all that needs change right now, or even feeling you have lost the map entirely, you are not without resource, you are not alone.

Look out over the prow; there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you. In your deepest bones, you have always known this is so.

Even though your veneers may shiver from every wave in this stormy roil, I assure you that the long timbers composing your prow and rudder come from a forest greater. That long-grained lumber is known to withstand storms, to hold together, to hold its own, and to advance, regardless.

… We have been in training for a dark time such as this, since the day we assented to come to Earth. For many decades, worldwide, souls just like us have been felled and left for dead in so many ways over and over — brought down by naiveté, by lack of love, by suddenly realizing one deadly thing or another, by not realizing something else soon enough, by being ambushed and assaulted by various cultural and personal shocks in the extreme.

We all have a heritage and history of being gutted, and yet remember this especially … we have also, of necessity, perfected the knack of resurrection.

Over and over again we have been the living proof that that which has been exiled, lost, or foundered – can be restored to life again. This is as true and sturdy a prognosis for the destroyed worlds around us as it was for our own once mortally wounded selves.

…Though we are not invulnerable, our risibility supports us to laugh in the face of cynics who say “fat chance,” and “management before mercy,” and other evidences of complete absence of soul sense. This, and our having been ‘to Hell and back’ on at least one momentous occasion, makes us seasoned vessels for certain. Even if you do not feel that you are, you are.

Even if your puny little ego wants to contest the enormity of your soul, the smaller self can never for long subordinate the larger Self. In matters of death and rebirth, you have surpassed the benchmarks many times. Believe the evidence of any one of your past testings and trials. Here it is: Are you still standing? The answer is, Yes! (And no adverbs like “barely” are allowed here). If you are still standing, ragged flags or no, you are able. Thus, you have passed the bar. And even raised it. You are seaworthy.

…In any dark time, there is a tendency to veer toward fainting over how much is wrong or unmended in the world. Do not focus on that. Do not make yourself ill with overwhelm. There is a tendency too to fall into being weakened by perseverating on what is outside your reach, by what cannot yet be. Do not focus there. That is spending the wind without raising the sails.

We are needed, that is all we can know. And though we meet resistance, we more so will meet great souls who will hail us, love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear. Didn’t you say you were a believer? Didn’t you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater? Didn’t you ask for grace? Don’t you remember that to be in grace means to submit to the Voice greater? You have all the resource you need to ride any wave, to surface from any trough.

…In the language of aviators and sailors, ours is to sail forward now, all balls out. Understand the paradox: If you study the physics of a waterspout, you will see that the outer vortex whirls far more rapidly than the inner one. To calm the storm means to quiet the outer layer, to cause it, by whatever countervailing means, to swirl much less, to more evenly match the velocity of the inner, far less volatile core – till whatever has been lifted into such a vicious funnel falls back to Earth, lays down, is peaceable again.

One of the most important steps you can take to help calm the storm is to not allow yourself to be taken in a flurry of overwrought emotion or despair – thereby accidentally contributing to the swale and the swirl. Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.

Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely.

It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts – adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take “everyone on Earth” to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.

…One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times.

The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires … causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these – to be fierce and to show mercy toward others, both — are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.

…There will always be times in the midst of “success right around the corner, but as yet still unseen” when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it; I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate.

The reason is this: In my uttermost bones I know something, as do you. It is that there can be no despair when you remember why you came to Earth, who you serve, and who sent you here. The good words we say and the good deeds we do are not ours: They are the words and deeds of the One who brought us here.

In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But … that is not what great ships are built for.

…This comes with much love and prayer that you remember Who you came from, and why you came to this beautiful, needful Earth.

Carbon Doesn’t Forget

By

A million years ago, carbon in soil learned to restore balance, move nutrients, eliminate toxins. Today, that same carbon, now called fulvic acid, still knows how.

I watch it work every day in my practice. Same molecular memory. Same binding patterns. Same reparative qualities. Carbon doing what carbon learned to do before humans existed.

Mickey Singer, author of The Untethered Soul, blew my mind last week: carbon didn’t even exist at the Big Bang. It had to be forged inside stars at 100 million degrees. But here’s what really stopped me: Carbon shouldn’t exist. It takes three helium atoms colliding in perfect sequence, but the first two create something that disappears in 0.0000000000000001 seconds. The third has to hit before that instant passes. Every carbon atom in your body is proof of a miracle that barely worked. You’re made of statistical impossibilities.

Moby had it right with “We Are All Made of Stars” back in 2002. Turns out it wasn’t just lyrical poetry.

Now when I hand a client a bottle of fulvic acid to clear toxicity, I’m literally giving them carbon that was forged in stars and trained in soil.

This isn’t a synthetic biohack. It’s stellar carbon the universe spent a billion years perfecting. This impossible element became life’s foundation, it is both scaffold and shuttle – building every protein and DNA strand while transporting nutrients in, toxins out.

Toxins don’t stand a chance. The carbon has been practicing too long. It doesn’t care if it’s in soil or in you. The work is the same.

That’s what makes carbon sacred. Not just that stars made it, but that the universe had to break probability to make it happen.

Stop Taking Probiotics Until You Read This

By

A client called yesterday. “My doctor put me on antibiotics. Should I take a probiotic?” Made me realize how backwards we’ve got this whole gut health thing.

Antibiotics destroy beneficial bacteria, trigger antibiotic-resistant infections, and cause C. diff overgrowth that causes half a million infections and kills 12,800 Americans yearly according to the CDC (2024). Taking probiotics while on antibiotics is futile. It’s like planting seeds while pouring bleach on the soil.

Here’s what nobody’s telling you: Glyphosate – with over 300 million pounds applied annually in the US alone according to EPA data – is an antibiotic. This chemical they spray on your food to kill weeds is killing the beneficial bacteria in your gut just like the antibiotic you’re taking. Every meal with conventional grains, every glass of tap water, every bite of non-organic food dumps more of this bacteria-destroying chemical poison into your system.

So here’s what I told my client: Open a BioToxin Binder capsule and swish it in your mouth before swallowing. Let those humic and fulvic acids start binding toxins from your mouth all the way down. Fix the terrain first.

Your expensive probiotics don’t stand a chance. Your gut terrain has been altered by antimicrobial chemicals, making it impossible for beneficial bacteria to establish and multiply. Furthermore, NIH research shows your gut contains 1,000-5,000 bacterial species. How can 12-15 strains in a capsule restore this complex ecosystem?

Antibiotics literally mean “anti-life.” They strip away your protective mucus layer and damage the epithelial cells lining your intestines. The tight junctions – cellular gatekeepers that control what passes through your intestinal barrier – break apart. Your intestinal wall becomes permeable, flooding your bloodstream with toxins and triggering autoimmune reactions.

As CellCore’s Clinical Advisor, analyzing toxin data daily, I can tell you this: elevated glyphosate and other toxic chemicals destroy gut terrain faster than any probiotic can rebuild it. Remove what’s destroying bacteria, before you start adding bacteria.

Remove the poisons first. Humic and fulvic acids bind glyphosate, heavy metals, and chemical cocktails destroying your gut terrain. Support drainage pathways and mitochondrial function (energy), then rebuild the environment where beneficial bacteria thrive naturally.

The supplement industry generates $140+ billion annually according to market research firms – just like pharmaceuticals. They’re selling you bandaids for our “pill for every ill” culture, not root cause solutions.

Your body’s intelligence knows exactly how to heal. Remove what’s interfering with its natural processes and watch what happens.

When Everyone Said It Was Too Late

By

I was 36, standing in the admissions office at Mount Holyoke College with no high school diploma.

Most people would have walked away. The traditional path had closed years earlier. But I’d learned something about myself by then: I don’t accept “too late” or “not possible.”

The Frances Perkins Scholars director saw something in me that conventional metrics would miss, so she guided me to earn my GED, then welcomed me into America’s first women’s college on a full scholarship.

Four years later, I graduated Magna Cum Laude with Honors.

During my time at MHC, I heard and learned to love a guiding credo of Mary Lyon, Mount Holyoke’s founder: “Go where no one else has gone, do what no one else has done.” She said this in 1837 when she created the first institution of higher learning designed for women. When everyone said it was impossible, she did it anyway.

Her words perfectly captured what I’d already lived, what I already was doing.

Why am I sharing this?

Because it’s exactly what I see with my clients. High-performing leaders who’ve been told by everyone – doctors, specialists, experts – that their chronic symptoms are “just part of aging” or “something to manage.”

Just like I refused to accept that my educational ship had sailed, they refuse to accept diminished energy and health as their new normal.

I’ve carried Mary Lyon’s words with me for years. They just… fit. Most people don’t want to go where it’s uncomfortable or uncertain. I do. That’s why my clients find me when everyone else has said “sorry, nothing more we can do.”

I find what everyone else misses.

The Glyphosate Cascade: How This Molecule Is Destroying Our Health

By

Billions of pounds. Every year we dump billions of pounds of glyphosate on this planet. It’s in 75% of the rain falling on us. It’s in 75% of every breath we breathe.

This is Roundup. The stuff in your garage. The stuff your neighbor is spraying. The stuff lining your local hardware store and Home Depot shelves.

Soil Is Everything

Monsanto patented glyphosate as an antibiotic. Not an herbicide, an antibiotic. Also an antifungal. Also an antiparasitic. Think about that for a second.

When farmers spray their fields, they’re not just killing weeds. They’re executing a genocide on soil biology. In one fell swoop 30,000 species of bacteria, gone. 5 million species of fungi, gone. The mycorrhizal networks that have been building soil for millions of years, gone. And once these microbial species die, the soil can’t do anything. It can’t make nutrients. Can’t hold water. Can’t recover from anything. So what do farmers do? They pour in petroleum-based fertilizers, which are fossil fuel derivatives, because the soil is so dead it needs chemical inputs just to grow corn, for example. Corn that doesn’t even feed humans. Corn used for ethanol and high-fructose corn syrup and feeding cows that shouldn’t eat corn in the first place.

The farmers know this is insane. They’re losing $60 on every bushel. Eight thousand farms went bankrupt in 2016 alone. But the banks only loan money for crops covered by federal crop insurance, and crop insurance only covers corn, soy, alfalfa… not food. Not vegetables you can actually eat.

Your Gut Is Soil

Your gut microbiome is as biodiverse as healthy soil, maybe even more so. We host an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 species of bacteria, hundreds of thousands of parasites, millions of species of fungi, and a staggering number of viruses, possibly billions. This isn’t infection. This is your inner terrain, your body’s natural ecosystem. And when it’s in balance, it’s one of the most intelligent, self-regulating systems in nature.

These microbes carry out the majority of essential functions in your body. They help synthesize vitamins, produce neurotransmitters like serotonin (most of which is made in the gut, not the brain), and break down your food; without them, you literally can’t digest a single vegetable. They also train your immune system and communicate with your brain via the vagus nerve, influencing mood, focus, and behavior. Yet we rarely talk about this: Could our modern epidemic of depression have something to do with a disrupted gut microbiome… dead or depleted bacteria no longer making the “feel-good” chemicals we need?

Glyphosate wipes out your microbial life. Every time you eat. Every. Time… Which is why so many have been sounding the alarm on this herbicide.

The Protein Disaster

Glyphosate blocks the shikimate pathway. Humans don’t have this pathway, which is why Monsanto claimed it was safe. But our bacteria do. And those bacteria are critical to our health.

They use the shikimate pathway to produce aromatic amino acids like tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine. These aren’t optional. They’re essential because we can’t make them ourselves. Without them, you can’t build proteins correctly. It’s like trying to write words without vowels.

Proteins misfold. And misfolded proteins don’t just fail to function. They build up over time, forming plaques (sticky clumps of protein that interrupt normal brain function) and tangles (they block brain cell communication), both found in people with neurodegenerative disease. These are the same tangles seen in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS, and the same plaques found in MS lesions and diabetic pancreases.

One blocked pathway leads to misfolded proteins throughout your entire body.

Your mitochondria are affected too. These ancient bacteria live inside your cells. There are 14 quadrillion of them. They’re dying. They can’t make ATP. That’s our cellular energy. Gone.

Is it any wonder everyone’s exhausted?

Everything Breaks

Glyphosate destroys tight junctions. These are protein gates between cells that decide what gets in and what stays out, including toxins, pathogens, and undigested food. When they fail, everything leaks.

It starts in the gut. Food particles that should stay in your intestines leak into your bloodstream. Your immune system sees them as invaders and goes on high alert, triggering widespread inflammation. Then the blood vessels begin to leak. The blood-brain barrier breaks down. Toxins and inflammatory molecules that were never meant to reach your brain now flood into delicate neural tissue. Even your kidneys can’t filter properly, because their tight junctions are damaged too.

You become permeable. Everywhere.

Glyphosate also blocks glutathione production. Glutathione is your master antioxidant, the molecule that keeps inflammation in check. So now you’ve got massive inflammation from all this leaking and no way to stop it. Your body is on fire and glyphosate wiped out the fire department.

This is why 80 percent of Americans have gut problems. This is why kids have arthritis. This is why gluten suddenly became poison for millions of people. It’s not the gluten. It’s the glyphosate making your gut so porous that gluten becomes a trigger.

Follow the River

Want proof? Look at the Mississippi River. It collects 85 percent of the farmland runoff from the Midwest, much of it containing glyphosate and other agricultural chemicals. Cancer rates rise steadily as you go downstream.

By the time you reach the last 90 miles, from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, you’re looking at the highest cancer rates in the developed world.

They call it Cancer Alley.

This isn’t about poverty. Louisiana was poor in the 1960s too, but Cancer Alley didn’t exist then. It emerged in the 1990s, right when GMO crops took over and glyphosate use exploded across industrial farming.

At the mouth of the Mississippi, there’s now a dead zone in the Gulf. Bigger than Rhode Island. No oxygen means no life. Nothing can survive in water this polluted by agricultural runoff.

The same breakdown happening in that water is happening in your body.

The Countdown

Numbers add clarity.

  • Autism: 1 in 36 kids. In 1970 it was 1 in 10,000.
  • Sperm counts: down 50 percent in 20 years. We are literally going infertile.
  • Cancer: has doubled since 1990. Doubled.
  • Childhood cancer: up three to five times.
  • Parkinson’s in men: up ten to fifteen times since the 1970s. My father lived in the vineyards of Oregon’s Willamette Valley and died of Parkinson’s.

If we don’t change, and I mean radical change, Dr. Zach Bush warns we are on track for 1 in 3 kids with autism by 2035. Seventy-five percent cancer rates. Seventy percent male infertility.

We can’t run a civilization like this. We can’t even run a family like this.

Everything Can Change in One Year

Soil regenerates in one year. One year. When we stop spraying glyphosate, the soil microbiome comes back to life.

Farmers who switch to regenerative practices go from forty dollars an acre to four hundred or more. Ten times the profit. Six to eight revenue streams instead of one.

Your gut is no different. The human microbiome wants to flourish. We just have to stop poisoning it.

Remove this one molecule. Healing begins.

This is the most exciting time to be alive because we have the literal chance to change the trajectory so our children can inherit a different and healthy world.
