In this episode, I went on a little vitamin D rant because I’m still hearing it preached by ‘health experts’ especially in light of Covid
I was listening to a recent talk , and the speaker was bragging about his stored vitamin D levels of 90.
But a large body of evidence in the medical literature strongly suggests that optimal vitamin D levels might be lower than these figures. There is little to no evidence showing benefit to 25(OH)D levels above 50 ng/mL, and increasing evidence to suggest that levels of this magnitude may cause harm. Consequences of vitamin D toxicity include heart attack, stroke, kidney stones, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, weight loss, and low bone density
I view supplementation from a metabolic standpoint via tissue mineral analysis studies and the interrelationship between vitamin D and other nutrients, endocrine and immunological factors.

In this episode, I'm talking about the health of your kidneys. Most of us take our kidneys for granted every single day. We don't really think about them until one day something goes wrong, like kidney stones for example. It's important to know in advance that the kidneys need minerals, not medication.

In this episode, I talk you through the difference between hair analysis and blood analysis.
Hair analysis (HTMA) and blood analysis are unique and measure different areas of the body. Since HTMA is less familiar, I thought I'd expound on how it offers a window into the cells to help balance body chemistry.
If you want to prevent and correct HTMA is a better test, the two paired together can be very useful as well.
Learn more about how you can work with me 1:1 via HTMA OR how holistic practitioners can get started with HTMA through my Jumpstart program.

In this episode, I share a piece of writing I found recently with a few tweaks of my own added (original author unknown). It's in response to the collective times we are in, where people put expectations on others around their health choices. Where people call people selfish for not doing what they think they should do.
It's also a good reminder that owning your NO -for whatever it may be you have a resolve around is valid. No one should make you feel selfish for honoring yourself, your needs, your choices and trusting your own intuition.
I believe some of you will be quite inspired by this -give it a listen!

In this episode, I'm covering one of the biggest mineral imbalances we are collectively dealing with. Collectively we are dealing with an excess of calcium and a deficiency of magnesium. There are many reasons for this. Our depleted soil for one thing. Calcium fortified foods have been around for many decades, yet nothing has been done to rectify our magnesium deficient soil, water and food. This creates an imbalance in the calcium and magnesium ratio in favor of calcium, but this is not a good thing for our bodies.
Calcium is regulated and controlled by magnesium.

In this episode I talk more about thyroid metabolism and how to support with a systemic approach. As well as a focus on nutrients in, toxins out.
Hair analysis shows additional and different information about thyroid activity than blood tests do and I feel it's incredibly valuable. Blood thyroid tests do not reveal much about thyroid physiology or metabolism. They usually only measure circulating hormones (T3 and T4) and pituitary stimulation of the thyroid (TSH). HTMA is excellent to help assess thyroid difficulties. It can indicate imbalances in many steps involved in thyroid hormone metabolism.
Imbalances can occur at any stage of the production or utilization of thyroid hormone. The concepts of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are incomplete and often misleading as they only relate to hormone production and release.

In this episode, I revisted a post from March of 2020 sharing my prevention plan in light of the 'Rona'. I talk about how to start creating a preventative lifestyle and why it's important to do so instead of 'waiting around' in fear of whatever is lurking out there.
As we head into the fall, it's important to stay positive and focused on nourishing our whole selves. And for more than just in case we might get sick.
You can read the full blog post and get the specific details as well as all the links I shared for your reference.

In this episode I'm sharing a brand new endeavor I am embarking upon. I just volunteered to lead the PA chapter of the Health Freedom for Humanity organization.
Back in April, I had Tommy John on the podcast and he shared about this organization at the end of the episode. You can learn more about it here: https://healthfreedomforhumanity.org
To me, health freedom means CHOICE. It means honoring nature. It means not being coerced into a one size fits all model. It means honoring our intuition and trusting our bodies healing potential. It does not mean we cower and choose what we are being 'forced to accept'.
It means we know that we have a choice and will not be bullied to comply to a path that we know intuitively and firmly is not right for us.
Here is what the Health Freedom for Humanity Organization stands for:
Health Freedom for Humanity (HFFH) is a community of advocates, parents, teachers, actors, veterans, doctors, lawyers, and friends, who stand to ensure Health Freedom for all people. We come from every religion, political affiliation, socioeconomic background, race, and philosophy on personal health but are united in our belief that mandated medical procedures of any kind, medical coercion, or any restrictions on health choice violate basic human rights.
We believe that health freedom exists outside of any of the number of divisions amongst society, and that health freedom is purely a human rights issue. All are welcome. Health freedom is for everyone. We ask that all members of our organization stand firm in their right to choose what is best for their own health, but always do so from a position of love and respect for those with opposing views.
If you live in Pennsylvania and would like to be a part of our Health Freedom chapter, feel free to email me: [email protected] or [email protected].

In this episode, I talk about how antibiotics have never been tested safe for the human microbiome. They are also one of the most toxic classes of drugs and doctors hand them out like candy.
It's time to be HONEST about this excess overuse of antibiotics, so we can make educated decisions and create a better path to support our health.
I'm very passionate about this after seeing hundreds of clients health harmed in the long run in part by excess use of antibiotics over the course of their lives.
We can do better. In fact, we must.
I also shared two resources; one is a book called Beyond Antibiotics if you are a nerd like me and like to read the research/studies. The other is a functional test I've been working with this past year called; BiomeFX ('the gold standard' for microbiome health). I've also included the main probiotics I work with to prevent and repair when antibiotics have been or are being used.
*by the way, I recommend listening to my podcast at 1.5x speed (since I talk *painfully* slow)

In this episode, I'm connecting some huge dots for you on one thing that can affect a lot of things. Bile flow.
Many women are struggling with what we could call 'total body meltdown' or really slow metabolism. This is a state of body chemistry where nothing works as efficiently as it should. So a person could feel fatigue, low mood, anxiety, struggle with digestive woes, constipation, cycle related issues; headaches, insomnia, moodiness etc...
So I thought I'd dig into a simple piece of that puzzle to help give you some clarity along with a couple actions steps to take so you could turn some of those sluggish metabolism symptoms around.
I also wrote a blog post about this last October which you can check out here:

REWILDED Wellness is for naturally minded women dealing with chronic health issues who want to understand what’s happening in their body without turning their entire life into another health…
Hosted by functional nutritional therapy practitioner Lydia Joy, the show explores chronic health through a rewilded lens: one that brings together functional science with the understanding that human biology is continually shaped by nourishment, environment, rhythms, movement, relationships, stressors and lived experience.
Maybe your digestion has been off for years. Your energy isn’t what it used to be. Hormonal changes are adding another layer. Foods that once felt fine no longer do. You’ve tried supplements, changed your diet, worked on your nervous system, run testing or spent years collecting health information, yet you still feel like there are too many moving pieces.
That’s the territory we explore here.
We have access to more health information than ever before. We can look at minerals, the microbiome, bloodwork, hormones and genetics; track symptoms; research pathways; and build increasingly complicated protocols.
But more information doesn’t always create better health.
REWILDED Wellness asks a different set of questions:
What may be contributing to the patterns you’re experiencing? How is your body responding to the conditions it has been living within? What does it need now? And how do we help you become more resilient without making health your full-time job?
Through personal stories, client observations, functional nutrition and explorations of physiology, Lydia brings together topics including gut health and the microbiome, HTMA and mineral balancing, chronic health patterns, perimenopause and women’s health, nervous system function, nourishment, movement, environmental health and our relationship with the natural world.
Functional testing, supplements and targeted interventions can absolutely have a place here. But they’re tools, not the destination.
The goal is to understand patterns rather than endlessly chase individual symptoms, use science without losing sight of the person living inside the physiology, and rebuild the everyday conditions that support better function over time.
Because rewilding your health isn’t about returning to some imaginary perfect past.
It’s about remembering that your body is part of nature — and learning how to work with it again.
