#dmso works wonders on tight, tired muscles tightened with Scoliosis. Runners benefit from applying DMSO to their heavy, tired legs after a race.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to understand your body's hidden vulnerabilities before symptoms ever appear. 🎀
Did you know that conventional laboratory tests often miss the critical indicators of how your body processes and eliminates estrogen? Standard panels might tell you your hormone levels are "normal," but they don't look at your hormone metabolism.
Your body constantly leaves clues. To truly support long-term breast health, we need to examine functional lab markers that show exactly how your systems are communicating:
• β-Glucuronidase: Reveals if your gut microbiome is accidentally reactivating and reabsorbing estrogens instead of safely excreting them.
• 4-Hydroxylated Catechol Estrogens: Identifies toxic estrogen pathways that can damage cellular DNA and fuel tumor growth.
• Estrogen Metabolism Ratios (2:4:16 Pathways): Determines if your body is detoxifying its estrogens safely or converting them into harmful metabolites.
• Phase I & II Liver Detox Markers: Measures how efficiently your liver is neutralizing and clearing daily toxins and circulating hormones.
• Oxidative Stress & Mitochondrial Markers: Monitors whether cellular stress is increasing your overall biological vulnerability.
• Gut Dysbiosis Markers: Uncovers imbalanced bacteria that disrupt the estrobolome, directly impacting hormone clearance and immune function.
Conventional medicine waits for a problem to show up. Functional medicine looks upstream to clear the path before a disease can develop. Listen to your body's early clues.

Alcohol is considered a leading preventable cause of death in Canada. The risks are well established. Increased consumption raises the likelihood of cardiovascular issues, liver disease and at least seven types of cancer. In Canada, alcohol is responsible for nearly 9,500 new cases of cancer and 4,000 cancer deaths each year.

In California’s Sacramento Valley, a grower was cited for multiple pesticide safety violations in a stone fruit orchard.
In the sweeping farmlands near the Central Coast, a seed supplier that cultivates peppers, vegetables and fruit was hit with more than two dozen pesticide safety violations, some of them serious offenses that caused health or environmental hazards.capitalandmain.com/haphazard…
The science shows pesticides cause cancer. Why would we eat any food that is not organic? We should demand that companies only grow foods without toxic pesticides. thenewlede.org/2026/09/atraz…

25 years ago today Welles Crowther gave his life helping others on 9/11. This is the best story @espn has ever done. Share it with your kids and any others who may not have been alive on 9/11 and don’t know what true bravery in the face of evil is.

if you weren't alive or were too young to remember, please take 10 mins to watch this
9/11 was a defining moment in my life. In millions of lives. And it's worth remembering.
Every year on or right before 9/11, we show this video to our students. It’s not only powerful story-telling, it’s a reminder to a younger generation about how life altering 9/11 was for those of us who lived it. It’s only 10 min #themanintheredbandana
On this day... 25 years ago 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10:00am Sept 11, 2001.
YOUR HORMONES ARE MORE THAN A SINGLE BLOOD TEST.
Do you know your hormone levels or do you understand how your hormones are actually working together?
A standard hormone panel may give you a snapshot of:
• Estradiol (E2)
• Progesterone
• Total Testosterone
• DHEA-S
• Cortisol
But hormone health is more complicated than a single number.
🔬 WHAT CAN HORMONE ZOOMER ADD?
ESTROGEN METABOLITES
See how estrogen is being metabolized and cleared.
PROGESTERONE METABOLITES
Look beyond progesterone levels to see important progesterone metabolites.
TESTOSTERONE FRACTIONS
Evaluate testosterone and related androgen metabolites, including DHT.
ADDITIONAL ANDROGENS
Assess DHEA and androstenedione for a broader view of androgen balance.
CORTISOL PATTERNS
Instead of one cortisol snapshot, saliva testing can map cortisol/cortisone patterns across the day.
This test goes even further, evaluating endocrine-disrupting chemicals, oxidative stress, bone turnover and additional hormone-related markers.
❤️ HORMONES DON'T WORK IN ISOLATION.
Estrogen affects more than your cycle.
Progesterone affects more than ovulation.
Testosterone affects more than libido.
Cortisol affects more than stress.
Your hormone patterns can intersect with energy, sleep, mood, metabolism, weight, cycles, recovery and overall resilience.
👉 READY TO LOOK DEEPER?
Don't just ask:
“Are my hormones normal?”
Ask:
“How are my hormones being produced, metabolized and working together?”
📲 ORDER THE HORMONE Test and get a more comprehensive look at your hormone and stress patterns.
More insight. Better understanding. A more complete picture.

I BELIEVE FOOD IS HEALING.
Your body is always communicating.
Listen to the signals.
Nourish. Support. Restore.
Food is healing. 🌿
Food is more than calories.
It is information.
It can nourish your cells, support your gut, balance your energy, and give your body the nutrients it needs to do what it was designed to do.
But here’s what I believe even more:
✨ Your body is always communicating with you.
✨ Symptoms are signals, not something to simply ignore.
✨ The right foods can become part of your wellness strategy.
✨ Personalized nutrition is more powerful than a one-size-fits-all diet.
That’s why I believe in looking deeper.
Your gut health, nutrient status, hormones, inflammation, blood sugar, detoxification pathways, and lifestyle can all provide important clues about what your body needs.
Food can be medicine but the goal is to discover what YOUR body needs.
Don’t just ask, “What diet should I follow?”
Ask:
“What is my body trying to tell me?”
🌱 Eat to nourish.
🌱 Eat to support.
🌱 Eat with intention.
🌱 Eat for YOUR health.
Food is healing. And personalize wellness starts with understanding your body.

Antibiotics cause sepsis. Your risk of sepsis goes up greatly after taking antibiotics.
“A single course of antibiotics raises the risk of developing sepsis by 70 per cent for a year after taking them”
Read that again! I call vaccines and antibiotics the gruesome twosome. They are the real root cause of an untold number of illnesses. Look at the chart. The risk goes up even more after continued use.
A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. ~Amelia Earhart
