“My husband uses Axe body spray, eats Taco Bell twice a day and works in a chemical factory - yet I’m the one struggling with my health - why?”

Environment! Whether it’s your internal environment or the external: all of our bodies have a tolerance point - after which they will begin to show the wear and tear of toxin load. And display symptoms! 

Eczema is one of the most common conditions we support here at Hey Hey Mae. Parent's call us in distress, rightfully so, because their children are suffering from itchy and painful eczema. That is where we started with Client “C”.

Are you chronically symptomatic? ….This week? Us, too…sorta.  Last week we did have a lingering fever-boy at home, which meant I had a lingering office helper and this e-news is a bit tardy!  Let’s build on our conversation about why toxins bother you and not your less-health-striving partner.

Can we avoid it entirely? Not so much.

Can we find ways to reduce it as much as we can? Absolutely.

HTMA hair testing is here! Abby and I have been diving deep to learn the ins and outs of this powerful, non-invasive test that is perfect for children and adults!

Bio-individual nutrition is for everyone. Not just those with chronic illness or ongoing digestive woes. There is much we weren’t taught growing up, when it comes to the care and the keeping of our bodies. Knowing the best choices and habits to love your individual body WELL increases health and happiness all around.

Did you know stats are saying, on average, we spend 90% of our time indoors? Wild! The sun is a life giver to our plants and grass and gardens, but sometimes it gives other things like sunburns and contributes to cancer, so what does good sun exposure look like?

Runny noses, itchy eyes, groggy head, scratchy throat, hives, eczema, itchy skin and nose… How about inattention, hyperactivity, short attention span, easily agitated, loud talking, and impulsivity? What do all of these symptoms have in common? ALLERGIES!

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.

Type 2 diabetes does not happen overnight. (Thankfully!) And (unpopular statement...) just because other family members have a Type 2 diagnosis, doesn't mean you will have one!

Blood sugar refers to glucose that is circulating through the bloodstream. The sugars that we consume are broken down into glucose to be used for energy or stored for later use.

Purchasing high-quality protein and other animal products is an important step I have my clients focus on.

Navigating the holidays with dietary restrictions or while on a therapeutic diet can seem daunting and an impossible task.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s also the time of year where we are a little more stressed, are exposed to less sunlight, and consume LOTS of treats.

There are many different therapeutic diets and it can be overwhelming to determine what they are and who they are targeted to help. I have put together a list of some of the more common therapeutic diets and the intention behind implementing them.

I know that food buying and terms can all get a little confusing… GMO, organic, grass-fed, pasteurized, plant based, keto, etc.

Let’s say you just started care or you’re dipping your toes in nutrition learning for the first time. There can be a helluva lot of jargon that can go over our heads: let’s learn!

Shopping strategically can not only help in the budget department, but we can also optimize our purchases for the most nutrient-dense options for our buck.

Gallbladders are vital to our body system and it’s one of the most popular organs to be removed so quickly! Surgeons often remove them, they’re often misdiagnosed as the root of a problem that continues to be a problem after removal. Once the gallbladder is removed we’re leave us lurking in the dark with very little education for what’s next.

Water filtration, do we need it Absolutely, 100% yes!

Most water disinfectant systems are treated with harmful chemicals, like chlorine and chloramine. That junk is in your tap water!
