The Foundations of Health

1. Dental Health
2. Blood Sugar Regulation
3. Clean Air
4. Clean Food
5. Clean Water

Dental health

Root canals and dental infections are a root cause of MANY diseases. Did you know that every tooth is connected to an organ in your body? If you are getting started on your health journey, make an appointment with a holistic dentist and find out about your mouth health.

Blood Sugar Regulation

Blood sugar dysfunction is at the root of many health issues and diseases. How well is your body regulating insulin? There are many strategies you can put in place to holistically lower blood sugar but first you need to find out where your blood sugar is. Purchase a glucometer and begin checking your fasted blood sugar within 60 seconds of waking and 2 hours after eating a meal. The functional lab ranges your sugar should fall in is 75-86. I have separate blog on strategically lowering blood sugar.

Clean Air

We’ve all heard by now; indoor air is much worse for us than outdoor air. How can we clean up our indoor air?

1. Clean out our air ducts
2. Dust frequently
3. Air house out daily
4. Use air purifiers
5. Change AC filters monthly (use cheap filters so air flows through easier)

Also, spend as much time outside as possible!

Clean Food

1. Buy the dirty dozen produce organic
2. Buy protein from farms (pasture raised/grassfed and finished)
3. Avoid GMO foods
4. Avoid ultra processed foods
5. Throw away traditional breakfast food
6. Eat 30 grams of protein in each meal
7. Eat a vegetable in each meal
8. Avoid seed oils

Clean Water

1. Do not drink tap water
2. Consider not drinking from your fridge filtration system
3. Purchase a Clearly Filtered pitcher, counter water distiller, or an under the kitchen sink filtration system
4. Filter your shower heads! Your skin is the largest organ in your body, what you shower in hits your blood stream in seconds! ( heavy metals, medicine, fluoride, chlorine etc)
