COULD A PAST HEAD INJURY BE THE ROOT CAUSE OF CONSTIPATION?
COFFEE ENEMAS FOR CONSTIPATION
Do you have to add bran, flax seed, psyllium or take a supplement to help you poop? Do you have to strain to initiate a bowel movement? Do you have less than one bowel movement a day?

THE PARKINSON'S-GUT CONNECTION
I watched my grandfather suffer from Parkinson’s disease. It was difficult to watch. Before he died, my grandfather was a shell of his previous self. The man everyone knew and loved had disappeared long before death took him. His last years were spent in a wheel chair, and he was completely dependent on caregivers to feed, bathe and dress him. If only I knew then, what I know now about the Parkinson’s-gut connection.
THE MS-GUT CONNECTION
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is debilitating. The symptoms look like you’ve taken multiple diseases and thrown them all together into one awful mix. Common symptoms include pain, pins and needles, and muscle cramping in any part of the body. The pain can be constant and intense. Frequently bowel and bladder problems exist, which are problematic and can lead to embarrassing situations. Muscle weakness can cause breathing problems and extreme fatigue. Gut-health is an underlying factor in the development of the condition.

MICROBIAL DIVERSITY FOR GOOD HEALTH
Did you know that good health depends on microbial diversity in your gut? The microbes that make your digestive tract their home play a key role in every aspect of your health. Your relationship with those organisms is a codependent one - you provide a dark, temperature-regulated home that has a constant food supply, and in exchange the microbes regulate every metabolic process in your body including things like immune function, blood pressure, fat storage, hormone function and blood sugar regulation.
SHOULD WE BE CONSIDERING VACCINES IN THE HEALTH OF OUR MICROBIOME?
I’m going to start by telling you about my typical client. The type of person who typically comes to see me is incredibly educated, has done a lot of research, and usually is already eating an organic, whole foods diet, and living a clean lifestyle.
So today I visited with good friends that embody my typical client, but wanted to talk to me about vaccinations for their beautiful baby girl.
