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! It's more than peripheral. I found there are three types of neuropathy and your approach to treating them might vary. Join me as I uncover the many causes that can contribute to neuropathy, what some lesser-known symptoms are that people may experience as well as how conventional medicine might approach it versus what a holistic take may be on caring for it.

96: Red, Blotchy Skin Issues? Types of Dermatitis and How to Help Eczema Holistically
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.

93: Post-Traumatic Growth with Kimberly Hand, Leveling Up Through Life’s Struggles and The Importance of Finding Joy
"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.

88: What Cults Teach us About Fear, Diet and Decision Making. Plus, how Chronic Anxiety and Nutrient Deficiencies Create a Vicious Cycle
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.

87: What's the Difference Between NAC and NAD+? From Detoxification, Respiratory Health, Cellular Health and Energy Production. Breaking Down Differences and Noticing Similarities
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.

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.

In the last five years, we have all lived through some heavy stuff. But if you were a nurse, well, my heart goes out to you. Did you know? since 2020... Many nurses left the profession due to stress, burnout, and poor working conditions. Workplace violence and aggression increased, particularly in hospitals and ER settings.Some nurses experienced pay cuts or wage stagnation, despite the increased demand for their work.And the pandemic intensified factors such as burnout, depression, anxiety, and substance use among nurses, all of which are associated with an increased risk of suicide.

75: Mercury Toxicity: Symptoms, Avoiding Exposure, True Cellular Detox and the Trick on Testing
Despite some fairly famous figures suffering with mercury toxicity there still seems to be controversy over the topic. Some people in conventional medicine will argue against the existence of such ailments or say that certain therapies aren't effective. Why? When it comes to not being able to question real medical symptoms and suffering that should raise a huge red flag and usher in critical thinking. Let's take a look at what what symptoms to be on the lookout for, what other diseases are being mimicked by this condition, the autoimmune connection, as well as why it's so hard to diagnose and treat.
