Food Poisoning
I just arrived home from Costa RIca this weekend and I always feel just as excited to come home from a trip unscathed as I am the days leading up to the trip. And by unscathed, I mean no food poisoning. It is really unfortunate when food poisoning or some diarrhea and/or vomiting-inducing bacteria takes…

Tens 7000 Machine for Digestion and Anxiety
I was able to escape the snow to meet my girls in Costa Rica and we have not stopped talking about constipation. In fact, one of my friends has completely turned her premenopausal health around by incorporating colonics and more whole plant-based foods into her diet a few years ago shortly after we met. Her…

Gallbladder Gutted.
Many of my clients have had their gallbladder removed at some point in their lives. If you’ve been with me a while, you know about my obsession with Andreas Moritz Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse, although it’s been a while since I’ve embarked on one. The liver and gallbladder are super fucking important. The liver filters…

Breastmilk Is For Babies.
Last year for my birthday, my brother gifted me a 23andMe heredity kit to see if we were, in fact, related. Turns out we are both definitively at least 50% “East Asian & Native American,” which apparently puts me down for “likely lactose intolerant.” I honestly never thought about this. I knew that certain cultures,…

I have also learned from a client that it can help with excessive…

Wet Dreams
I’m never one to analyze my dreams unless it’s something weird like giving birth, chewing gum sticking to the roof of my mouth or not being able to run away from danger. Apparently, I pop babies out pretty easily, but trying to scrape off chewing gum that’s melted all over the roof of my mouth…

Dried Up?
My mother has always justified her potato chip habit as a means of greasing her engines. Her mother would always tell her to eat oil to avoid feeling dry (must be some Chinese shit). Needless to say, I’ve grown up having no qualms about eating oil and love me some potato chips….new fave here. So while…

Gas Blaster
Bitters has come up a lot lately. You’ll find these herbal concoctions at your homeopathic pharmacy, health food store and your local cocktail bar. Today is the second time a client has mentioned using Iberogast, a bitters digestif formulated in Germany that is only sold on Amazon. My client’s gastroenterologist actually prescribed it to her…
