Migraines, Chronic Fatigue, Hashimoto’s, Food Reactions, Autoimmune…or is it EBV?
Today we are diving into Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and its significant impact on health, particularly chronic immune issues. EBV, known for causing mononucleosis, can also trigger autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's, lupus, and multiple sclerosis by hijacking the immune system. We also highlight the importance of recognizing EBV as a root cause of various chronic conditions and advocate for a comprehensive approach to treatment.
How to Jumpstart Healing Your Blood Sugar Dysregulation
Compromised blood sugar does not happen overnight, so don’t expect it to be reversed overnight either. If your blood sugar dysregulation has progressed to Phase 3, 4, or 5, I would highly recommend working with a practitioner for guided, individualized, 1:1 support.
Sneaky Sugars and Easy Swaps

Water Filtration and WHY We Need It
Water filtration, do we need it Absolutely, 100% yes!
