Did you know your brain eliminates toxins while y

Did you know your brain eliminates toxins while you sleep? Known as the glymphatic system, it is a fairly recently discovered system that is proven to be more active when you are sleep. Research has shown a link from the glymphatic system and development of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s disease, and ALS due to a build up of toxins in the brain.

UNSWEETENED ICED BLACK & HERBAL TEA: It is way too

UNSWEETENED ICED BLACK & HERBAL TEA: It is way too hot in the Summer to drink hot tea, so I decided to make my black and herbal tea into iced tea...it's 4 easy steps. Choose whatever tea you want and make it like you would any other cup of tea, but place it in mason jars or something that can easily be covered & transported to the fridge. Wait for them to cool in the fridge and drink up for a refreshing, healthy alternative to just plain ol' water. It gives you another creative way to stay hydrated and cool at the same time! I chose not to sweeten mine, but if you choose to add sweetener I suggest either pure organic cane sugar, organic raw honey, or pure maple syrup. Enjoy!

Do you practice integrative medicine? You may actually be practicing it and don't even realize it.
.

I have had my share of conventional medicine and know first hand that sometimes that's what it takes. And on the other hand I love the natural remedies & therapies that are readily available. This is integrative medicine and it has been my philosophy for years. I've worked with both a conventional medicine doctor as well as a naturopath. I've taken antibiotics & blood pressure meds and then drank herbal teas, inhaled aromatherapy, taken elderberry syrup and probiotics, practiced meditation, gone to the chiropractor and a massage therapist. There is nothing wrong with relying on both. The key is knowing when to rely on one vs. the other.
.
.
The benefits of integrative medicine helps reduce your toxic load of pharmaceutical drugs (or at least helps counter the side effects), introduces more natural ways to stay healthy, and helps treat the whole body and not just the symptoms.

It's that time of year! Did you know antibiotics are still overused and overprescribed? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you know the difference between a PREbiotic and a PRObiotic? You may be eating them already. Basically, in the simplest terms, we all have good and bad gut bacteria. And probiotics are the good gut bacteria. In order to make the good gut bacteria grow we need to feed it. That's what PREbiotics do.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And antibiotics kill the good gut bacteria, hence the "anti" in antibiotic. Probiotics are meant to keep your gut healthy, because good health starts in the gut, however, the irony of the situation is you're prescribed antibiotics to kill whatever is making you sick...all the while killing your good gut bacteria and making the levels of bad gut bacteria higher, which negatively affects the immune system...and around and around we go. 🤦🏾‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are also herbal antibiotics, but I'll save that post for another day. But, the next time you truly have to take an antibiotic, when it makes sense to, perhaps consider consuming prebiotic and probiotic rich foods as well to counter the affects.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

#selfcare is what I did this past weekend. It was the first time in I don't know how long I actually didn't have to go anywhere. It was great. Didn't leave the house for two days. Here's a little reminder of some self care...specifically for the winter. Take care of yourselves. It's a new year.

These are probably the most basic tips to use if you are just starting out with trying to buy better products for you and your family. I would say the most important tip is reading the ingredients because no matter what the label tells you, the answer is always right in the ingredients.
.
.
.
Many cleaning products may not necessarily have the ingredients listed, so that may lead to more research on their website or feel free to skip the product all together.
