Have you ever looked back at something seemingly small — a prescription, a choice, a doctor’s advice — and realized it changed the entire course of your health? 💭 That’s the story I’m sharing today.

This episode is a raw, honest look at how one antibiotic — Tetracycline — taken as a teen for mild skin breakouts, turned into a decades-long health journey filled with gut battles, bleeding gums, misdiagnoses, and ultimately, a deeper understanding of how connected our bodies really are. 🧠💥

From cracked molars to emergency stomach surgery, I’m laying it all out. We’ll talk about:

🔑 The link between antibiotics like Tetracycline and Crohn’s, Candida, and gum disease

🔑 Why some Crohn’s medications never worked for me — and what finally did

🔑 The connection between oral and gut health that even your dentist may miss

🔑 What I’ve learned as an Integrative Health Practitioner-in-training

🔑 How to protect your kids from the mistakes we didn’t know we were making

This one’s a doozy, friends — but it’s also a hopeful, empowering call to know better, so we can do better. 🙏🏽💖
