"Go back and take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your feelings need you, your perceptions need you. Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it. Go home and be there for all these things." - Nhat Hanh.... A recently passed beautiful soul.

As the holiday season passes and life slows down a bit, I've finally found some time to complete another blog! Feels like it's been too damn long!

I meet so many potential clients who resist the idea of paying a professional to help them find freedom from whatever struggle they're under. Some even make questionable comments about how we professionals should offer our services for free. Hm...

So, this blog post is just a little food for thought about why investing in your health is so important. It's amazing how much less suffering there would be if people were more willing to make that investment.

Enjoy!

Food for Thought: Investing in Your Health Did you know that younger generations are more willing to invest in their health and well-being than older generations? I'm not sure exactly where this difference lies. But I do know that I am certainly among this group that is willing and eager to invest in my health. And here’s why. To invest in...

Much of the focus in my practice is around cleansing and detoxifying the system, because it is ultimately the accumulation of waste and toxins that lead to imbalance, illness and disease. This is why I offer two full programs based on this practice:
1. 21-Day-Reset-Program for general maintenance and minor imbalances.
2. Candidiasis Healing Program for pathogenic overgrowths and damage caused by antibiotics.

However, there are some very basic (and free or inexpensive) daily practices that can easily be implemented into nearly everyone's life. These three simple practices will gently support your detoxification pathways, and lessen or minimize toxic accumulation.

Note: If you're experiencing a greater level of accumulation, a proper consultation is always encouraged.

Otherwise, enjoy this free little tidbit and the benefits these practices can bring 😉

Three Simple Detoxification Practices Many of my personal health practices revolve around gentle, consistent detoxification and keeping my detoxification pathways functioning properly. When it comes to falling ill, with a mild infection or a severe disease, accumulation of toxins lead to a sluggish systems, both of which allow illness t...

My new Candidiasis Healing Program is rolling out November 1st, with a new program beginning the first of each month. Reach out directly to sign up for the next one!

This is a one-of-a-kind three month program of education and healing for those with a diagnosed or suspected candida overgrowth.

From my own experience with the infection years ago, I have dedicated much time and energy to researching the nature of this unique and incredibly common condition. I've also developed a stellar protocol which addresses all factors contributing to the infection, including conditions closely related.

Come learn about the many nuances of Candidiasis, apply a variety of tips and tools to build your personal protocol, and take control of your own healing process within the setting of a supportive community of others navigating the same new waters. You won't find this opportunity anywhere else.

Candidiasis Healing Program | Pranacea Candidiasis is an infection caused by the overgrowth of Candida albicans, one particular species of yeast. An overgrowth of this species of opportunistic pathogen is, unfortunately, far more common than people often realize. And those that do acknowledge an overgrowth in their own body are likely ex...

Since the discovery of the vagus nerve in 1921, researchers and the like have unveiled incredible connections between this nerve and our general state of health. A healthy vagus nerve (vagal tone) has a direct correlation to optimal neurological, cardiovascular, emotional, digestive, immune, respiratory, and endocrine health.

In this new blog, you'll find basic information about the vagus nerve, as well as several practices you can use daily to increase your vagal tone. Make no mistake, the vagus nerve, just like every other tissue in the body, is capable of healing... given the right circumstances. If you have a condition related to a dysfunctional vagus nerve, I recommend scheduling a consultation so we can investigate and address the issue properly.

Enjoy!

The Vagus Nerve: Master of Our Parasympathetic Nervous System The autonomic nervous system regulates overall proper function of the body, and two major (and perhaps familiar) divisions of this system include the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. These two states of existence play a crucial role in overall health and wellbeing. The parasympatheti...

Of all the perfectly justifiable reasons to complain about the pandemic, one that I've heard (and continue to hear) fairly often is that of weight gain. And this is a good segue into my newest blog post! Obviously, there is an entire protocol surrounding weight loss, which I personalize for each of my clients. However, increasing fiber intake is almost always one aspect of my protocol. For good reason! But, there are so many other benefits to fiber! Yet it seems to be such a misunderstood macronutrient. Poor guy.

So read on to learn more!
And, as always, reach out for support! 😊

Fiber: The Unsung Hero of Macronutrients Of all the macronutrients, fiber seems to be the unsung hero. The majority of people are familiar with protein, fats, and carbohydrates, and may be aware of some of the benefits they each have to offer. But, fiber seems to be often misunderstood and greatly undervalued. A significant percentage of A...

After a period of personal struggle, I'm FINALLY finding my inspiration to continue blogging and sharing! And so, without further delay, here is part two of my Myths About Sun Exposure & Skin Cancer blog. In part two, I take a popular article advocating the dangers of sun exposure, and essentially dismantle their argument piece by piece. I had quite a bit of fun with this one 😉

Enjoy!

Myths About Sun Exposure & Skin Cancer (Melanoma): Part Two Welcome to part two of my Myths About Sun Exposure & Skin Cancer blog! I have to say, I’m really excited to share this blog, because this piece in particular was a lot of fun to put together! Before we get to the fun part, I’ll give a quick recap of part one. During part one of this blog, we exp...

As we are nearing the end of summer, I'd like to clear up some myths about sun exposure and skin cancer. Set some minds at ease and encourage all to get outside and soak up that shining goodness.

Keep an eye out for part 2 of this blog 😉

The Myth About Sun Exposure & Skin Cancer (Melanoma): Part One Considering the capacity of which we depend on the sun for survival, I’d never really believed that it causes skin cancer. We rely on the sun for our food, it allows us to synthesize vitamin D which is crucial to human health, and proper function of various other biological systems depend on natur...

A healthy respect for, and independence from, conventional medicine is an often overlooked aspect of true health. It's also a fine line to walk. Especially after studying natural medicine, I had to rediscover my respect for our healthcare system. I may be aware of their flaws, but I can acknowledge their value. It doesn't seem that much of society sees both sides, though. Read on with both curiosity and an open mind...
😉

Conventional Medicine: Friend or Foe? An Acknowledgment of Their Fortes, Fallacies, and Faults. I recently heard our healthcare system be described as a “sick care system” because professionals and providers only see patients when they are sick. For most of us, this probably makes much sense. “Well, of course they only see patients when they are sick.” However, this is simply all we kn...

The ideal time for a seasonal cleanse is fast approaching! My new blog post covers the benefits and the how-tos of a proper cleanse, while introducing my 21-Day Reset Program... along with a limited-time discount offer 😉

Sign up ends September 1st.
Program begins September 15th.

Seasonal Cleanse & Ayurveda: My 21-day reset program I like to think that the toxic nature of our environment is being widely acknowledged. Perhaps its just wishful thinking. But, I think it is safe to say that the general population is becoming more aware of cleanses and their benefits. They are certainly growing in popularity. Slowly, people are cho...

A controversial yet fascinating topic it is... how beneficial cannabis can be for cancer. And it's likely even more beneficial than you've previously been told. This blog post is a bit deeper than anything I've posted thus far.
So, prepare yourself ;)
Above all, enjoy!

Cannabis and Cancer: The Science Behind the Controversy Many people have heard of friends or family members with cancer using cannabis to alleviate nausea, stimulate appetite, and promote deeper sleep. And the plant most certainly does all these things, which can bring much relief to those suffering. What most people don’t know, however, is that there ...

Happy Fourth from Storm Lake, Iowa! I hope everyone is able to enjoy a day out in the sun!
Aside from celebrating independence, I'm also celebrating my two year anniversary of discovering a natural method that kicked my pink eye infection in one day with this new blog post! 😉
Enjoy!

Pink Eye: A Natural Approach Most people experience pink eye at least once in their life. If you haven’t, consider yourself lucky! The correct term for the condition is conjunctivitis and affects the conjunctiva, the protective layer that covers the white of the eye. Based on the suffix of the medical term, we know that it is...
