When we think about oral health, most of us immediately picture brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups. But did you know that what you eat plays a huge role in the health of your teeth and gums? I’ve discovered that focusing on oral health nutrition can transform your smile and overall wellness. It’s not just about avoiding cavities; it’s about nourishing your mouth with the right foods to support strong teeth, healthy gums, and a balanced oral environment. In this p

The combination of lemon juice and olive oil is a classic natural remedy for detoxification.

When we think about oral health, most of us picture brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits. But have you ever stopped to consider how your diet impacts your teeth and gums? We all know that what you eat plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy mouth and body. That’s why I want to share how a nutritional consultation can transform your approach to oral health nutrition and help you achieve a radiant smile from the inside out. Oral Health Nutrition Matters More Tha

I was at the Farmer’s Market this past weekend and passed by a stand selling bags of tomatoes at a discounted price. They were in good shape, fresh from the garden, and free from pesticides. Farmer’s market produce is usually healthier than organic tomatoes found in supermarkets. Firstly, there is no Apeel to deal with. Additionally, there is more nutrition in freshly picked local Farmer’s Market produce than in organic options that have traveled hundreds of miles across the

For those of us interested in daily detoxing, this recipe is a real treat.  It’s not your usual lemon or apple cider vinegar base, but relies on a whole onion and a whole apple for a new and unusual taste sensation. This combo is excellent at producing quercetin, a potent antioxidant flavonoid. Its benefits include: boost immunity fight inflammation combat allergies stabilize blood sugar levels aid exercise performance has cancer fighting effects improve brain function lower

Eating insects may infect you with parasites.

As most of you already know, detoxing  is crucial to regaining health and staying well. I’ve written and spoken much about heavy metal cleanses, and there are so many ways to do this (Search the blogs or buy my book My Secrets to Regaining Health on Amazon).  But the missing link to this detoxing is the parasite cleanse.    Don’t kid yourself. Everyone has parasites.  It’s in the air, water and food supply. If you have any pets, you have parasites. If you eat unwashed fruits

When we think about how we can make our teeth and bones stronger, the first Vitamin that comes to mind is Vitamin D. As we discussed in our previous post (Vitamin D: How much do we need?) Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones and teeth. But you will see here that it is so much more effective when taken with Vitamin K-2. Vitamin K-2, or menaquinone, is the missing link that Dr. Weston Price referred to when he did his studies of nutrition, dental health, and physical heal

When cleaning out the freezer this weekend, I noticed that I had a few bags of frozen pumpkin puree. I had just finished making a fresh batch of BONE SOUP , so it seemed like the perfect time for making the bone soup into pumpkin soup. The way I make Pumpkin Soup is quite simple and quite delicious. Unlike most recipes for pumpkin soup, my version has no dairy, no brown sugar, and is full of nutrients. My recipe below is very basic. You can adjust quantities of spices and ma

As many of you may know, I love to cook. Give me any recipe, and I will find a way to make it healthier. So when a patient asked what to feed her 5 year old child who loves conventional cereal, the first thing that came to mind was Granola. Sure it’s not the healthiest food out there, but it’s a lot better than Fruit Loops and Coco Pebbles. Homemade Granola Conventional cereals made with white flour, white sugar and lots of preservatives and artificial flavors and colors, ca
