Memorable Moments:

\xa0\u201dA detox bath - #1 - that is something super easy and gentle to do that you can do 2-3 times a week.\u201d

\u201dYou want to start low and slow, build your way up\u2026I usually find starting with 1 cup of baking soda, 1 cup of magnesium flakes, and you can work your way up depending on how much they weigh.\u201d

\u201dIdeally the recommendation is 1 minute per age, and so if they are 5 years old, then 5 minutes in the sauna with that temperature nice and low.\u201d

\u201dIf you\u2019re somebody who is really solid on diet and you\u2019ve been gluten, dairy, and soy free for 6 months - 8 months - and you\u2019ve given it the good amount of time that healing takes, and you\u2019re still not where you need to go, then that tells us we need to look deeper. We need to look deeper at what else is causing that inflammation.\u201d

\u201dWe want to get a really good snapshot of what\u2019s happening in the body\u2026because in order for you to see what\u2019s really going on and for you to move the needle, we need to have some answers as to what\u2019s happening in the body, so the testing will allow us to do that for you.\u201d

\u201dIf you think about this bigger picture, when you go through a healing process and your children and your family are doing so much better and you\u2019re feeling good, we just don\u2019t ever want to see you go backward. Let\u2019s just keep moving forward, and keep that inflammation down as much as possible.\u201d

\u201dTechnology\u2026 is created\xa0 to be addicting, and it is created to be over-stimulating, and that\u2019s a lot for a little brain to handle.\u201c

\u201dSleep is so important. That\u2019s when we\u2019re growing, that\u2019s when we\u2019re detoxing, that\u2019s when we\u2019re shifting and our minds and our brains are getting bigger, so it\u2019s super important that sleep is well-balanced.\u201d
