Take Aways

  • Don't fall for "There's no price too high for good health." trap! 
  • Consider these before trying a new supplement: monetary price, emotional cost, physical cost (risks/benefits), and time & effort cost.
  • Semaine Health's PMS and Period Support capsules have always and continue to relieve Heidi's cramps and improve her mood. 
  • Fluoxetine (an SSRI prescription drug) helped alleviate mood issues for Heidi in the past but has not been helping recently.
  • Ollie brand children's probiotic and multivitamin gummies have helped Heidi's stomach feel better.
  • Zyrtec and Pepcid AC together have helped Heidi and other women. See this Newsweek Article for more about this.
  • Sudafed has helped Heidi's mood be stable. (pseudoephedrine)
  • Heidi also worked with a wellness clinic for 6 months last year and took 14 supplements they recommended based on blood work along with chiropractic multiple times a week to improve overall wellness.
  • NEVER GIVE UP! 🙂

Redefining Dementia Person Centred Universe Just as Person Centred Universe’s educational and consultation work, the aim of the Redefining Dementia Podcast is to strive toward a better world for those affected by dementia. When consuming resources or media about dementia, the focus is often on the challenges, stigma and fear that may accompany a diagnosis of dementia. This podcast seeks to shift that narrative to focus on and celebrate living well with dementia and what that means for caregivers as well. Through the sharing of stories,resources and helpful life experiences, the podcast will look to connect with the audience to provide helpful and meaningful takeaways. Living Well Clinical Nutrition Podcast Dr. Aaron Chapa We started our practice with the intent to find the underlying cause of every diagnosable disease in the US. We found that if you love the idea of having control over your health through good choices, you will begin to love the idea of making good choices. Have you ever watched TV and heard a drug ad and said to yourself, “that drug might be good for me?” If that thought has entered your mind or been vocalized over your lips, you are experiencing some symptom pattern you were not genetically born with.
