Are you healthy on the inside?
TEST and stop guessing.
It is spring time and tis the season to work in your garden. We love to plant flowers, feed the plants with mineral rich soil and hydrate with fresh water.
What are you doing NOW to build your health up from the inside out?
We take care of our gardens and maintain our yards.
We take care of our cars when the “warning” lights come on the dashboard.
We take our car into the shop to get an oil change… tune up or repair areas that are creating dysfunction to the run running smoothly and at optimal level.
WHY do we not take care of our own body (health) from the inside out (your gut) to improve our immunity and resiliency?
We all seems to believe that if we stay home and stay isolated then we will some how get “healthy”?
If we go out in public, we are to where a face mask to protect others from our own germs as well as wear gloves, wash our hands properly and not touch our face (germs).
We should be washing our hands and not touching our face anyways but now we are now all ultra paranoid on be sanitary and obsessed with anti-bacterial which kills off GOOD and BAD bacteria from your skin.
If you didn’t know, the body has an amazing innate intelligence system. WE need to reset and reboot the system just as your car, computer and garden a few times a year!
Recently, I have written many blog posts and recorded many podcast episodes on how the immune system works -as well as how 80% of the immune system resides right in our gut microbiome.
How strong is your self-defense system?
We have our first line of defense, the Army, then the back up support team, the Air Force and then the Navy Seals when the situation gets serious.
How do you know how strong your immune system or “self defense team” is in your microbiome?
We run functional lab tests to assess instead of constantly guessing and assuming we are “Healthy” on the inside out.
Most of you, including myself, is experiencing and operating with a dysfunctional system. Every dysfunction or imbalance (chronic sources of stressors) will impact the gut health, microbiome and gut wall lining.
Here are a few solutions to get you maximizing your gut health to optimize your immunity and build your resiliency now… it is your choice.
Health is a choice. It is your responsibility. Not the governments job to make you healthy. Take ownership today and prepare for the day that we can interact with eachother in close proximity.
We are all in this together… so do your part in building your “self defense team” today!
Here are some resources that arrived in my inbox today.

Athletic Greens. “Feed your gut and watch your health bloom”
Did you know that if you feed your body lots of probiotics without a prebioitic that it is similar to planting seeds in a garden with no intent of every watering it? Probiotics are the living organisms (microbiome is their residence) that need a source of energy to multiply (feed the garden) so they can continue to work hard at balancing your gut or microbiome. PREBIOTICS are the water to your garden. To complement the probiotic blend of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium (7.2 billion CFUs) – the Athletic Greens Ultimate Daily contains one of the best forms of prebiotic – Inulin, a type of soluble fiber found in many plants (not to be confused with insulin).
Strengthen your immune system, support nutrient absorption and so much more with our balanced blend of probiotics, prebiotics and our other 75 highly absorbable ingredients.

Vitamin C Flush:
Bowel tolerance (disator pants) is the goal here with a Vitamin C flush protocol. Watch the Biotics video explaining the Vitamin C flush and ask me to send you the article if you are interested in learning more self care tricks.
The Vitamin C Calibration Test or Vitamin C Flush “The Vitamin C Calibration Test” or “Vitamin C Flush” is another great way to reduce cellular acidity and assess individual vitamin C levels. Vitamin C in the ascorbate form is an excellent buffer and helps regenerate or reactivate many of your antioxidants. Here’s how to assess your levels.
● When a patient has a day off…
● Use 1 tsp of Mixed Ascorbate Powder™ (each teaspoon contains about 2.75 gram of fully buffered vitamin C mineral ascorbate), with small amount of juice and water and drink every 30 minutes for 2 hours until your reach bowel tolerance. If no results, change timing to every 15 minutes.
● Due to current demand, Mixed Ascorbate Powder, is NOT available. Bio-C Plus 1000 may be substituted. 3 tablets will equal 1 tsp. For the purpose of this test, however, tablets must be crushed with 2 spoons, a clean coffee grinder, or some type of blender.
● Continue until bowel tolerance is experienced. Bowel tolerance is described as explosive diarrhea.
● Calculate the number of teaspoons used in the flush and multiply by 75% i.e. if 4 teaspoons caused bowel tolerance, the daily dose would be 3 teaspoons.
● Use this number (above ex .3 tsps) and mix in juice and water, drink throughout the day. If excessive gas occurs take with food. If that gas is still a problem reduce to dose that is socially tolerable.
● Continue on this dose and retest with “The Vitamin C Calibration Test,” or continue on this dose until diarrhea occurs again and decrease by another 75% or in our example 75% of 3 tsp. would be 2 1/4 tsp.
I am often asked “what are the main things we can do to promote health and increase wellness?” The foremost thing we can do is to keep the body in homeostasis and let it do what it does best; repair, rebuild and replenish. The first key to homeostasis is correct PH. The more one understands physiologic pH the more you will be convinced about its absolute necessity.
Without the correct pH hormones and enzymes cannot function in their maximum capacity.
The optimal pH in oxygenated arterial blood is 7.355 -7.45
The optimal pH in carbon dioxide laden venous blood is 7.31 to 7.4.
Blood ph is extremely tightly regulated, so even a drop to 7.25 brings the body to a relative acidic state.
For example the drop from 7.3 to 7.2 will stimulate osteoclastic activity in the bone (bone degradation), inhibits osteoblastic activity (bone rebuilding) and induces a multifold bone mineral loss.
Reduced intracellular pH causes swelling and impaired mitochondrial function. This means a reduction in the ability to make more energy and an increase in energy utilization.
Reduced intracellular pH brings increased intracellular free water with less efficient metabolism, protein synthesis and increased membrane free radical production.¹

Pura Thrive: Vitamin B12, Vitamin D and more (Vitamin C is sold out!)
Dr. Andrew W. Saul, an international expert on vitamin therapy, says, “The coronavirus can be dramatically slowed or stopped completely with the immediate widespread use of high doses of vitamin C. Bowel tolerance levels of C taken in divided doses throughout the day, is a clinically proven antiviral, without equal.”
“Dr. Jaffe calls vitamin C the most potent, safest and most abundant antioxidant cofactor.
- “Vitamin C aids in the maintenance of cellular membranes, cellular respiration, the peroxidase cleansing system, the restoration of vitamin E / selenomethionine complexes, Guinea pigs, monkeys and man are virtually the only animals that can’t manufacture vitamin C from glucose & must get it from food. “ ” and sulfhydryl enzymes like glutathione synthetase.”
- Dr. Jaffe goes on to say ascorbate is also involved in hormone biosynthesis and increases cellular resistance to many common viral infections perhaps due to its interferon-like activity.
- Dr. Carl Pfeiffer says “Vitamin C is needed for iron absorption, folic acid utilization, wound healing, healthy bone, cartilage and connective tissue.”
- Vitamin C assists in the detoxification of lead, excess iron, copper, bromide, arsenic, benzene and many pesticides such as DDT and lindane.
- Vitamin C also reduces the action of cancer causing compounds.
- There are many factors which create a greater need for vitamin C such as increased estrogen, stress, infection and injury.”
- Using a qualitative EEG, Dr. Pfeiffer and colleagues found vitamin C to have an anti-anxiety or sedative effect. Dr. Pfeiffer also stated that less than 1000 mg of vitamin C could result in an increase in cholesterol
