When what most women really want to know is:Why do I suddenly feel different — and what can I do about it holistically?If you're experiencing things like brain fog, waking up at 3 a.m., suddenly feeling hot, having mood swings and seeing stubborn weight gain then tune in!  In this episode, I go through 5 Foundational Pillars you can do to get back to feeling more normal during this transitional time of life. Plus, to help you from creating a tackle-box size box of supplements, I go symptom-by-symptom to point out which supplements to prioritize depending on your top challenges. I do hope this helps get you through the recalibration that is menopause!

You may know NAC (N-acetylcysteine) as the supplement that helps your body make glutathione—but NAC has suddenly found itself at the center of some fascinating health conversations. From Long COVID and the spike protein to menopause, mast cells, MCAS and histamine intolerance, this little sulfur-containing compound now has a much bigger story to tell.In this episode, we connect four seemingly unrelated health conversations and ask why NAC keeps showing up in all of them. What does NAC have to do with the structure of the spike protein? Why might the hormonal roller coaster of perimenopause change the way some women respond to histamine? And how could NAC potentially help calm oxidative stress while, paradoxically, making certain histamine-sensitive people feel worse?My featured "holistic health hero" in this episode is Dr. Tina Peers, whose journey from women’s health and menopause into histamine, mast cells, Long COVID and spike-protein research helps connect all the dots. And then there’s Augmented NAC—a supplement that helped me personally get through some of the symptoms we discuss here. If you'd like to support our small business or the podcast, please visit https://ngvitamins.com/ for all your supplement needs! Send us Fan Mail Click here to shop water filtration with us at Nature's Garden of Naples: https://ultrawatersolutions.com/?ref=naples1042  Shop Vollara® Air & Surface Pro+ with us at Nature's Garden here: https://www.vollara.com/order/Air02/?u=naturesgarden OR call Tony at the store at: 239-643-4959 Support the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.

Your brain is one of the most energy-hungry organs in your body, yet most people only think about it when they start feeling forgetful or mentally drained. What if brain fog wasn't simply a normal part of getting older? What if your brain was actually asking for support in several different ways?In this episode of Holistic Health Heroes, we explore six of the most researched natural compounds used to support cognitive function—each with its own unique role. Rather than chasing a quick fix, you'll learn how healthy blood flow, neurotransmitters, brain cell membranes, inflammation and cellular energy all work together to influence how clearly you think.Whether you're trying to stay sharp at work, improve focus while studying, support healthy aging or simply understand why you're feeling mentally sluggish, this episode gives you a practical overview of how these natural ingredients may fit into a comprehensive brain-health strategy.As always, we'll also cover who may benefit most and important safety considerations. To support this podcast and our small business, check out this formula and more at our website: https://ngvitamins.com/ Send us Fan MailSupport the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.

For centuries, indigenous healers in the Amazon have turned to Cat's Claw as one of their most treasured medicinal plants. Today, it's become a favorite in functional medicine for supporting immune balance, calming inflammation, promoting gut health and even as part of chronic Lyme protocols. But how much of its reputation is rooted in tradition and how much is backed by modern science?In this episode, we travel from the rainforest to today's research, exploring the fascinating history of Cat's Claw, the experts who rely on it, what the clinical evidence says and the practical questions people ask most—like whether you should cycle it, who should avoid it and how it's commonly used. If you've ever wondered why this ancient vine continues to generate so much excitement, this episode is a great place to start.Don't forget, you can support this podcast by shopping small at our family health food store at https://ngvitamins.com/ Send us Fan Mail Click here to shop water filtration with us at Nature's Garden of Naples: https://ultrawatersolutions.com/?ref=naples1042 Support the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.

We’ve been taught that perfume smells attractive, laundry should smell “fresh,” and a clean home should carry a noticeable scent. But what if those familiar smells are not signs of cleanliness at all—and are instead exposing us to complex mixtures of undisclosed chemicals?Inspired by the book Killed by Fragrance: How Synthetic Scents Make Us Sick, this episode explores why fragrance is showing up almost everywhere, from perfume and shampoo to laundry products, cleaning supplies, candles, hotels, stores, and even products marketed for babies. We look at why the word “fragrance” can conceal numerous ingredients, how synthetic scents enter the air we share, and why some people experience headaches, brain fog, fatigue, skin reactions, breathing problems, and other symptoms around scented products.This episode is NOT about disliking smells. It is about recognizing fragrance as a source of involuntary chemical exposure—and asking whether something designed to smell pleasant may carry a health cost we have been trained to overlook. Once you begin noticing how pervasive fragrance has become, it is my hope you'll understand that Fragrance-Free is the Way to Be! Send us Fan Mail Click here to shop water filtration with us at Nature's Garden of Naples: https://ultrawatersolutions.com/?ref=naples1042 Support the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.

Feeling more anxious, irritable, overwhelmed or unlike yourself lately? Many women—and men—enter midlife believing their mood struggles are purely psychological. They're told they're stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed.  But what if the real story is more biological than psychological?

And while that seems to have been the approach for decades, some doctors are calling that for what it is -- ineffective and incomplete. Sure, some people out there may, in fact, require surgery.

Neuropathy is more than pins and needles. Did you know at the core, it's nerve damage or nerve dysfunction? What type of neuropathy are you experiencing? I just learned there are multiple types!

Red, itchy, inflamed and blotchy skin patches can be painful. These symptoms could be signs of dermatitis or eczema. But don't make the mistake of only treating this issue topically. Skin outbreaks are a little tap on the shoulder that something deeper is going on. That brings us to the gut-skin axis. If your gut is inflamed or imbalanced, you will likely have some type of skin issue. But the gut is just one potential cause for dermatitis. In this episode I explore the gut connection to eczema, different types to be aware of, root causes, natural therapies, potential supplements to support your skin, and much more… And if you're in the continental US, and want to support our small business visit NGvitamins.com for all your supplement needs. Send us Fan Mail Click here to shop water filtration with us at Nature's Garden of Naples: https://ultrawatersolutions.com/?ref=naples1042 Support the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.

"We don't bounce back, we emerge as someone new," is one of the poignant soundbites my guest shared in this episode. Kimberly Hand is a wellness and lifestyle expert and the host of The Cinnamon Effect podcast… which I had the pleasure of being a guest of recently.  Kimberly is passionate about helping others live a sweeter, healthier and more fulfilling life -- and that's something I support completely! I'm so grateful Kimberly and I had chance to reconnect after discovering that we'd actually met before in our 20's! Since then, we've gone through some ups and downs in life (as we all do) and in this episode we reflect on life lessons and stepping into new versions of ourselves. As we uncover here, we can be doing all the "right" things for our health but still be having issues because health isn't all about what you're "doing" but who you are being. It's not easy to endure the traumas we all face in life with love and loss but it's we can come out on the other side with wisdom, peace and find new joys. It's not only possible but needed for a healthy life.  Send us Fan Mail Click here to shop water filtration with us at Nature's Garden of Naples: https://ultrawatersolutions.com/?ref=naples1042  Shop Vollara® Air & Surface Pro+ with us at Nature's Garden here: https://www.vollara.com/order/Air02/?u=naturesgarden OR call Tony at the store at: 239-643-4959 Support the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.

Has there been an increase in anxiety in the last few years (2020-2025)? Oh yes, indeed there has been. Like what you ask? Here are a few according to the American Psychiatric Association: corrupt government officials (65.2%), people they love becoming seriously ill (58.4%), cyberterrorism (58.3%), and the possibility of the U.S. becoming involved in another world war (55.0%) to name a few.   In this episode I dig into a curiosity I have had after watching cult documentaries and noticing what seems to be a common thread... diets that are all about deprivation. Is this really about food or diet/ways of eating?  Or is it about control? Join me as I ponder some connections and aim to provide some advice on how we can ensure we don't miss out on certain critical nutrients that will contribute to our health and wellbeing. Send us Fan Mail Click here to shop water filtration with us at Nature's Garden of Naples: https://ultrawatersolutions.com/?ref=naples1042 Support the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.

NAC is a precursor to glutathione, the body's most powerful antioxidant. It helps neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation and support detoxification.  While NAD+ or (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme essential for energy production and DNA repair. It plays a key role in mitochondrial function, helping cells generate ATP (cellular energy).  NAC and NAD both provide critical support for cellular function but in different ways. NAC helps with detoxification and antioxidant support, while NAD is essential for energy production and longevity. The best approach depends on your goals—whether it's long-term wellness or rapid intervention.  If you're interested in adding either of these to your wellness routine, you can find options here: NAC: https://ngvitamins.com/product/nac-500-mg-90-vegetable-capsules/ NAD+: https://ngvitamins.com/product/qualia-nad/Send us Fan MailSupport the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.

Is red light therapy here to stay or is it just another fly-by-night health trend? With a history that goes back to 1967 (from what I found anyway), turns out there are a lot of studies that say photobiomodulation (aka red light therapy) does have a lot of effective uses for our health and wellbeing. Tune in and find out all the names for this type of therapy, several studies that provide evidence, tips on effective use, my own experience with it as someone new to RLT as well as some products I found for our store. Infrared Sauna Blanket: https://ngvitamins.com/product/mihigh-infrared-sauna-blanket-by-gravity/ One study I mentioned called: “Is light-emitting diode phototherapy (LED-LLLT) really effective?” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3799034/Send us Fan Mail Click here to shop water filtration with us at Nature's Garden of Naples: https://ultrawatersolutions.com/?ref=naples1042 Support the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.

For over 33 years, Sharik worked to help people eliminate pain from their lives as a physical therapist and rehabilitation counselor (PT, MRC). In part because he had overcome many traumatic events throughout his life that caused great pain.  His life experiences drove him to seek out natural solutions for chronic pain. Which  led him to focus on resonance and its effect on our nervous system. After 15 years of research and development, he invented the Pain Tuner PRO at Rezzimax. With the extensive list of conditions that the Pain Tuner PRO has been helping people deal with, we dove into using it ourselves and it has been nothing short of awesome! I've used it to enhance my ability to fall asleep as well as allergic reactions to food. Others have used it for fibromyalgia pain, chronic fatigue, seizures, neuropathy and much much more -- don't take my word for it, visit their website and check out all the "Rezzipees" and ways you can use it. If you are interested in the Rezzimax for you or someone you live, click here: https://rezzimax.com/?ref=NGVitamins and use code "NGVitamins" at checkout for $75 off your purchase. I would not recommend it unless I really truly believed in its power and I can say I 100% do! Send us Fan Mail Click here to shop water filtration with us at Nature's Garden of Naples: https://ultrawatersolutions.com/?ref=naples1042  Shop Vollara® Air & Surface Pro+ with us at Nature's Garden here: https://www.vollara.com/order/Air02/?u=naturesgarden OR call Tony at the store at: 239-643-4959 Support the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.

Vitamin D deficiency is very common in the US. It's estimated that approximately 42% of adults and about 50% of children aged one to five are affected. While it is a fat-soluble vitamin, it’s actually a hormone in how it functions.

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting someone I consider a "Holistic Health Hero": Nina Teicholz. As I said in episode 4 of this podcast, I really admire the extensive research and work Nina did in her book The Big Fat Surprise. And I'm grateful she may be highly involved in new dietary guidelines that may be rolled out in December 2025. I always get asked, "what do you eat?" so I thought I'd do an episode about setting the record straight on the truly healthy eating habits that are now getting some more press and will likely be what is advise to us in the near future. A few interesting links mentioned in the show: Article Referrenced with new food pyramid: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/17/6/1047  Q & A section: https://www.nutritioncoalition.us/science-not-settledSend us Fan Mail Click here to shop water filtration with us at Nature's Garden of Naples: https://ultrawatersolutions.com/?ref=naples1042 Support the showNOTE: This information contained is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.
