While I don’t recommend doing testing on your own when suffering with chronic illness, I also know how frustrating it is when you can’t find a doctor who can help you. So, let’s look at some of the most important tests to run, and more importantly, these can all be done at home without needing a blood draw or a doctor to help you! First is the Total Tox Burden by Vibrant Wellness. This urine test looks at mold, environmental toxins, and heavy metals. Get the test here - https://drrodneywhite.wellproz.com/patient/product/38563 Next is the OATs by Mosaic Diagnostics (formerly Great Plains Laboratory). Message me or comment on this video for help ordering this test. Then you’ll want to do a Hair & Tissue Analysis test by Trace Elements. Message me for help with this one too! Last is a Fatty Acid Blood spot test. Here’s the link to do it at home - https://www.zinzino.com/shop/2012993781/US/en-US/products/shop/home-health-tests/309000 Check out this episode!

Extra virgin olive oil can be a really healthy addition to your diet. But, there’s a dark side to it… Any time humans can make more money while exploiting customers, they always seem to find a way! Good quality extra virgin olive oil costs more to make than the cheap, nasty oils like vegetable or canola oil. So there’s a lot of money to be made by selling extra virgin olive oil at a regular price but mixing half the bottle with inferior oil to save costs, unbeknown to the consumer! I recommend only buying olive oil brands that have been tested by this group - aboutoliveoil.org One other thing to note - use your olive oil cold as it’s not the best oil to heat and cook with. For cooking, use grass fed butter or ghee, tallow, lard, or coconut oil. Check out this episode!

Low back pain is the number one cause for disability in America. And for many of those people, spinal surgery feels like their only option. However, only a very small number of people with spinal problems should ever get surgery. This goes for disc issues, or stenosis, or most other causes of back pain.  So, if you’re considering spinal surgery, please do your due diligence and ask all of these questions at a minimum before considering any surgery whatsoever. In general spinal surgery does NOT come with a high success rate, and you MUST exhaust all conservative options before giving it a shot! Check out this episode!

I hear way too many stories of people trying to detox from things like parasites, mold, heavy metals, and all the other things, and they make themselves more sick than they started. Why? Because their body wasn’t draining properly in the first place and that’s why it got locked up with biotoxins to begin with! So how do you open your drainage pathways? Stop adding more toxins - so eat a healthy diet and clean up your environment; drink lots of clean water; get lymphatic drainage regularly; and sweat a lot through exercise and sauna. But, you also need to support your detox pathways - mainly the liver, gallbladder, and kidneys. And the best way to do that in my opinion is using the cellcore jumpstart kit for 1-3 months. If you want to buy cellcore’s products, you need a doctor’s code, so go to https://cellcore.com/ get registered and use this code: qG23HX7b Check out this episode!

When you’re dealing with chronic illness and you feel inflamed, then you need to do the right testing to see how bad the inflammation is. The level of inflammation gives you a good idea of how your body is handling whatever illness is going on - from cancer to autoimmune disease. So the best panel I recommend is the fatty acid panel, and make sure it includes the AA/EPA ratio. Here’s a link to a really good quality test that you can do at home with a simple blood spot - https://www.zinzino.com/shop/2012993781/US/en-US/products/shop/home-health-tests/309000 If you want to do that test and then get help understanding the results, comment below and I’ll help you analyze them!

Before you waste time and money on expensive skin treatments or medications to clear up skin breakouts, make sure your gut is functioning properly! We have 4 detox pathways - our poop, pee, breath, and skin. If the first 2 pathways aren’t working properly, then the skin is where our body will try to force out toxins. If it can’t get out the gut, it will come out in the skin! Start with eating a diet that helps seal the gut instead of creating more leaky gut. Also work on opening your drainage pathways by sweating more while supporting the kidneys, liver, gallbladder, and gut. If you fix the gut, you’ll almost always notice a difference in skin health and appearance! Check out this episode!

Out of the millions of women around the world who are prescribed birth control every year, how many are told about the serious long term risks associated with taking birth control? Taking birth control can lead to imbalance hormones, increased inflammation, destroy the gut, and even increase the chance of strokes and heart conditions. They can also cause long term fertility issues. So, taking birth control for any other reason than contraceptive reasons is never the right move in my opinion. You’re far better off finding the root cause of the hormonal imbalance issues and fixing those properly rather than slapping a bandaid on it. With regards to contraception, there’s also better options that aren’t as big a danger to your health. So it’s really hard to find any reason why taking the birth control pill has more benefits than risks! Check out this episode!

This was one of the most fascinating interviews I've ever been a part of! Tom Paladino is changing the world by tapping into something that Tesla himself was researching - scalar enrgy. On the surface, it might sound very "airy fairy" when we talk about using a technology that can tap into the energy source of the universe - the light and energy emitted by the sun and all of the other stars. But, when you hear Tom break this down in a simple way, it makes so much sense. He can use his machine to help improve people's health, even if you live on the other side of the world. And this scalar energy may be the answer we are looking for if we are worried about our energy sources on this planet running out. Trust me when I say this is an interview you don't want to miss! And if you have any questions about this interview, either send me a message, or you can reach Tom here: Website and Social Media:  https://www.scalarlight.com/ https://www.facebook.com/

DIGESTION DOESN'T START IN YOUR GUT. DIGESTION STARTS IN YOUR BRAIN – before food even enters your mouth! When you anticipate or smell food, your brain sends signals to stimulate the release of digestive enzymes and gastric juices in the stomach. This is why stress can cause digestive issues! During the fight-or-flight response, triggered by stress, the body directs resources away from internal systems like reproduction, immunity, and digestion to deal with the threat our body thinks is there. This happens whether the threat is real or not - as long as the brain perceives it to be real, to your body it is real! This nervous system response can lead to reduced blood flow to the digestive organs and decreased enzyme secretion, impacting proper digestion. As a result, the digestive process becomes compromised, leading to symptoms such as constipation, bloating, and food intolerances. This is why we say that your fight/flight actually fights the gut! So what can you do about it? It
