Numerous studies and surveys have demonstrated that even in a country with abundant food, most Americans, even those well-fed, are largely undernourished. We have found that most people do not take in enough of the needed nutrients to maintain health.


Sometimes, while getting to the root cause is an important step of the process, getting support to offset the problem right away is important for healing. That’s why I often recommend specific nutrients for specific people in very certain cases, and usually for only a set duration of time. It’s strategic, and the goal is to home in on the need of each individual.


In today’s episode, I share what the most common supplements are that I recommend. I also jump into how to increase the absorption and efficacy of those supplements, and touch on how to find the right brand for you.


If you’re not sure if taking a supplement is right for you, be sure to listen in and perhaps you’ll find information that will help to answer your question.

Despite inhibitors to global communication until the last 100 years, healing cultures around the world have created surprisingly similar languages around how the body works, of which, states are integral. The state of our tissues explain why we can have a wide array of symptoms at the same time when there is only one illness. It explains why one herb for one symptom can help one person and worsen another. It explains why one herb can address a myriad of symptoms. And it can explain why a person can heal themselves without ever receiving a proper diagnosis. This series is a very simple introduction to tissue states, and how you can begin using this knowledge to your benefit right away.

Have you ever struggled to decide? This happens more often among those who walk an alternative or complimentary medicine path, because integral to a holistic approach is the process of deciding what is right for you.

If holistic medicine draws you, there will inevitably be seasons of hard decision making, but as always, there are herbs for that!
