In this episode I welcome Maria Maroney, of Natural Factors. Maria has a Masters Degree in Clinical Nutrition & Integrative Health. She is a Certified Nutrition Consultant registered with the American Nutrition Association and has decades of industry experience. 

I thought Maria could refresh our minds and provide a bit of a study guide on some of the potent ingredients that help support our cellular health. We go over CoQ10, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Glutathione, and some proprietary ingredients in one particular product from Natural Factors which includes all of them, called Regenerlife.  

So get out your notebook and pen, let's study up together on all things anti-aging and cellular health!

Shingles is not just a rash... it's a message. 

If you’ve ever wondered why shingles shows up after stress, burnout or big life transitions, this episode connects the dots. In it, I break down how an old childhood virus can wake up when your immune system is run down, why shingles is more common as we age, and what your nervous system has to do with it.

You’ll learn the early warning signs, why “pushing through” makes it worse, and how holistic strategies — from supplements to simple daily habits — can help calm an outbreak and reduce the chances of another one.

If your body’s been whispering (or shouting) for you to slow down… this episode is for you! 

And if you are in the market for any supplements mentioned (and live in the continental US), then head on over to https://ngvitamins.com/ to support the show and our small business.

Your kidneys are silent workhorses — filtering toxins, balancing minerals, regulating blood pressure, and supporting energy every single day. Yet most people don’t think about them until something goes wrong.

In this episode, we explore what the kidneys actually do, how they fit into your body’s detox and excretory systems, the early signs they may need extra support, and how to nourish them naturally with food, hydration and supplements.

Plus, find out what contributes to the diagnosis of dialysis and try to avoid it! 

Of course, seek out professional medical advice for any serious conditions and work with your doctor or health care professional on your specific case.

 The pancreas is one of the most overlooked organs in the body—until it starts whispering to you. In this episode, we break down what the pancreas actually does, how it controls blood sugar, energy, mood, and digestion, and the subtle signs it may be weakening long before disease shows up. 

We explore how long-term stress and viral infections can quietly strain the pancreas, and why symptoms like fatigue after meals, cravings, brain fog, and blood sugar crashes are often early warning signs. 

You’ll also learn how to eat to support your pancreas, which lifestyle habits protect it, and the holistic supplements that can help suppore blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and support healing—before small whispers turn into bigger health issues.

While you've certainly heard the term "leaky gut" by now, Naturopathic Dr. Mark Stengler joins us in this conversation about the truth about gut health and his latest book titled, "The Holistic Guide to Gut Health." 

Join us as we discuss just how connected your gut is to your overall health. From skin issues, to mental health and the immune system - the gut is foundational to feeling well overall. 

Too often do I run into people who have a particular health concern, only to learn that they are neglecting their gut. 

The issue? Too much information to confuse the heck out of you is swarming their mind and having them follow every trend. 

In this episode, take it from a practicing medical doctor as we bust a few myths, dig into the science and talk supplement dosages and more.

The glymphatic system is a nighttime detox network for your brain protects against neuroinflammation.

• Chronic stress
• Mold exposure
• Viral infections (EBV, COVID, HSV)
• Poor sleep hygiene and
• Sleep apnea to name a few.

All of these and more can impact the glymphatic system negatively. Tune in to discover what the glymhatic system is, what happens when it’s impaired and what you can do to support it.

The lymphatic system is much larger than most people realize. And unlike the cardiovascular system it doesn't have a pump! Which is why movement -- of almost any kind -- is so critical to maintaining it and therefore your health. 

As I mention in this episode, the lymphatic system relies on muscle movement, breathing, hydration and even gravity to help support critical functions like daily detoxification.

As one of the excretory organs its flow is necessary to help your body with central functions like digestion, hormone balance, fluid balance and immune system to name a few. 

Tune in and find out what symptoms that with help you determine if you have  sluggish lymph and key tools are helping me improve my own lymph movement.

Join me as I uncover the connection between sluggish bile and reduced gallbladder function to digestion hormones, sleep and anxiety. Not to mention the key combo I discovered recently that has helped me feel like, "I've come back online!"  

In this episode, we learn what happens to the gallbladder as we age, why poor bile flow can leave you fatigued or foggy, and how metabolites, neurotransmitter balance, and nutrient absorption all depend on a healthy liver–gallbladder system. 

We also break down supportive tools like ox bile, bitters, magnesium and TUDCA—plus the cautions to know before taking them (especially TUDCA). 

If you’re like me and ready to improve digestion, boost energy, balance mood, and support your body’s natural detox pathways, stop by our vitamin store Nature's Garden (https://ngvitamins.com/) to explore a variety of high-quality supplements when you need them.
