If you search for liver cleanses or detoxes online, you’ll find thousands of articles and videos promoting the next best thing to “clean out your liver.” But do these actually work? The answer is, it depends on what result means it has “worked.” If your drainage pathways are blocked and you’re dealing with chronic illness, then you’re not going to get your liver working perfectly and fix your health issues after a 3 day liver cleanse. In the case of chronic illness, you need to support your liver, gallbladder, kidneys, and overall drainage pathways for a long period of time while attacking the root cause or causes to get true healing. But, that doesn’t mean that some short term options aren’t useful. For example, I really like “The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush” by Andreas Moritz for people who are clearly blocked up with liver stones, or parasites such as flukes, and aren’t able to open any drainage pathways. That effective liver flush will hopefully clear out the main bloc

There’s no official cause behind Metabolic Syndrome, although it’s treated in a very similar way to Type 2 diabetes - drugs! But, what if we are looking at these conditions the completely wrong way? In my opinion, both metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes start out as a protective mechanism, where the body is trying to protect itself against the massive blood sugar spikes and inflammation created by the poor diets so many of us consume these days. The combination of processed sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and nasty vegetable oils (and other seed oils) are ruining the body, so it tries to protect itself. But this only works in the short term before the insulin resistance starts to kick in. I’ve seen so many people reverse these conditions through massive lifestyle changes that in my opinion, medications should ONLY be used short term (if at all) while teaching the person how to start reversing everything. In this episode I cover the lifestyle changes you’ll need to implement

Even though people start with good intentions, there’s some common mistakes I see people make when they (or their family members) are struck down with illness. In this video I cover some of the most common mistakes that are made, and what you should do instead. Keep in mind that most of these mistakes relate to viral infections, as certain bacterial infections need to be treated much differently and can’t always be taken care of “naturally” at home.

Getting a good night’s sleep is as important (maybe even more so) than eating a healthy diet and exercising consistently. Yet, a huge number of people don’t get enough quality sleep each night and need caffeine every day to function, which keeps them trapped in a vicious cycle! In this episode, I discuss how to set up a solid pre-sleep routine, but also what you need to do (and avoid) during the day so that you can wake up fresh every morning and crush your days!

If you want to experience great health, then you need to exercise frequently. This needs to include lifting weights 3-5x per week (no matter how old you are, and yes ladies this includes you too!), and some higher intensity workouts to get your heart rate up. However, don’t forget that consistent movement throughout the day is also vital. Walking frequently everyday brings a host of health benefits, so don’t let lack of a gym membership, or time stop you from exercising. Everyone can find the time to walk, whether it’s always taking the stairs, or parking further away from your destination, or just going for a family walk after dinner. It’s free, virtually anyone can do it, and your health will suffer without it! Check out this episode!

With so many people suffering with gut issues, there’s millions of people searching the internet every day for ways to heal their leaky gut problems. There’s some really great generic advice out there about how to heal the microbiome and fix the gut issues once and for all. However, there’s also some commonly shared advice that, in my opinion, is causing more issues for people rather than helping them. In this episode I share the advice that I believe people need to be wary of if they’re suffering from gut issues! Check out this episode!
