What exactly is the vascular system? What are the causes and risk factors for vascular disease? Are there natural approaches to prevent blood clots, atherosclerosis, and vein issues? Tune in to hear us answer these questions and more as we take a deep dive into the vascular system.
 
The vascular system, also known as the circulatory system, is made up of vessels that carry blood and lymph throughout the body. This includes our arteries, veins, and capillaries. Vascular disease can range from life threatening conditions like, atherosclerosis, aneurysm and blood clots to less severe issues such as varicose and spider veins, Raynaud’s syndrome and more. Learn about natural ways including diet, lifestyle, and supplementation to prevent these issues and keep your vascular system healthy and thriving.

Have you heard of the Schumann Resonance? Want to know how we can combat the effects of EMF through sound and frequency? Ready to get your mind blown on how humans are electrical beings? Tune in to this jam packed episode all about EMF, how we are human antenna connected to a magnetic grid, and how sound and resetting with the earth’s frequency can heal. 
 
In this episode, we will discuss the fact that humans are electrical beings. We transmit and receive electromagnetic energy from natural sources; plants, animals, people, and the earth, but many of us are robbed of this connection. We will discuss how smart devices, EMF, Wifi, and wearables are hijacking our frequency and what we can do to tap back in.

Episode 391: Microplastics

Bloating is so common that it is often accepted as the norm, but we’re here to tell you it is NOT normal to feel bloated, distended, and uncomfortably full all the time. Bloating can indicate a deeper root cause of microbiome imbalance, food sensitivities, digestive enzyme inadequacy and more. In this episode, we unpack some of the drivers of bloat as well as tried and true solutions, plus we’ll talk through a typical day of eating on a gut cleanse. 
 
In this episode, we discuss 5 ways to beat the bloat, including of course our Beat the Bloat Gut Cleanse. You still have time to join us if you’re listening live (and if not, there’s always the archive option!). Learn about the function of digestive enzymes and whether replacing them will cause your body to produce less on its own, how probiotics in and of themselves can reduce bloating, and how to discern whether food sensitivities might be causing your bloat.
