Migraines and constipation?


Recently had a 40 yr old patient who presented with several issues from migraines to constipation, reflux, gas, bloating, skin discolorations, achey pain when cold out, hair loss, fatigue, etc.

If enzymes are not efficient, which seems to be a common issue among my patients who have taken strong antibiotics, then essential fatty acids are more likely not able to convert into a form in which help minerals breakdown, leading to hair loss (hair is thought to be an extension of mineral rich blood) and hormonal issues (skin discoloration?), toxicity (lack of movement) etc.

Imagine that feces sitting and rotting in the intestine, then bubbling, boiling and becoming more toxic. No wonder there were migraines (I believe toxins are a main contributor to migraine issues) showing up. Nothing is moving through the bowels, leading to stagnation causing gas and bloating.

In the end, the main issue pointed to chemical toxicity which was most likely paralyzing the intestines resulting in constipation. The constipation, in itself would add to the toxicity because the bowel movements were once every 2-3 weeks. The 2nd issue was in all likelihood mineral deficiency / absorption issue due to lack of efficient enzymes.

I like to get the bowels moving, so the elimination channels are working and support the body with good minerals, essential fatty acids and multi-minerals. Adding in a multi-enzyme would help the body emulsify the food better so it is in better form to process.

If you need help navigating your health, reach out. I take Teledoc (live / virtual) appointments. I look forward to helping you with your health issue.

Balance is everything!

Are You Ingesting Heavy Metals??

  Iron "filings" used in the food industry,  instead of organic iron from a plant?  Yep, that's a thing!   Gluten may be popular to blame for health issues like leaky gut   but  iron filings are the real culprit. The shocking truth....Cooking in an iron skillet...that is not the form of iron your body can use. Consider that as you cook, your metal utensils scratch the surface of the skillet....where does that iron go that you just scratched off????.....in your food???  Hmmmm, food for thought ;) Hopefully, by now, you are off all processed food but if not, read ingredients! Cereals etc. "fortified with iron"? It has been revealed that in the past cereal companies used iron filings!!! so watch out for the tricky wording, that can lead to leaky gut.  Elimination is the best solution. Eat whole food. If you have allergies like bloating, gas, reflux, those are signs you may be sensitive / allergic or reacting to what you ate. Stay away from that fo...

Cramping, Spasms and Tremors have one thing in common...

...Lack of electron exchange. Electrons are made up of many different organic minerals which come from food, converted in the body and combined with water, they hydrate the body. Dehydration is lack of minerals and / or water or both. If you don’t replenish the minerals that are consistently being depleted by physical, mental or emotional activity, your body is becoming depleted and the body has to steal the materials it needs to open the “gate”, from your bones to keep the heart pumping, the muscles contracting, the neurons firing in the brain, the endocrine, respiratory and digestive systems working. When the bones run low on minerals (i.e.osteopenia then osteoporosis) the body’s other processes suffer and cramping etc start happening. The cure is not a banana or magnesium etc lol, that is temporary. The solution lies in the digestion. That’s it in a nutshell If you want to learn more or start to reverse aging, please schedule an online live virtual teledoc appointment or a phone cal...

Papaya / Banana Pudding - Good for the Gut (and so much more) !

Image
Even as health therapist, we can run into health issues. Recently, I had been having some digestive issues and I have been trying all the things I could think of, to no avail. I knew I was missing something so being a good Chinese Medical Therapist, I sought out another Chinese Medical Therapist who just happen to also be a food therapy geek, like me, and told me about his Papaya and Banana smoothie. I went home and blended up 1/2 of large papaya (with the seeds) and a whole banana in my 3 HP Blender which made a nice pudding. BTW, you DO want to eat this on an empty stomach, you do not want to blend it until it is warm or it might damage the enzymes. Blend just enough to make it creamy and break up the seeds a bit. Also do not add or drink water with or after. This Papaya seeds are a bit spicy so only add a few if "spicy" is not your thing...I used most of the seeds and loved the spicy kick. Also the seeds have so many benefits you HAVE to include some :) You can always lear...
