Could You Be Electrosensitive? Find Out Right Now

    The simple answer is yes, you are electrosensitive. We all are.  Your body is designed to be highly conductive because it uses electrical activity to function — for your heart to beat, your brain to think, your muscles to move, your eyelid to blink, your intestines to process food — it’s all electrical. Because our bodies are so highly conductive, the manmade energy fields around us truly affect our health from head to toe.  Every single cell in your body is conductive, every single organelle inside of each cell, every single cell membrane, the extracellular fluid around each …

New Study Finally Reveals If Vitamins Help Improve Cognition As We Age

    A new study, published Sept 14, 2022 in Alzheimers & Dementia, is the largest randomized clinical trial on multivitamin use in healthy brain aging.  It’s a three year long trial following annual cognitive assessments on over 2,250 patients that were randomly assigned either a daily multivitamin, a 500 mg daily flavanol supplement (from cocoa extract) or a placebo supplement. What researchers found was that not only did taking a daily vitamin help preserve cognitive function, but it actually helped significantly improve it over baseline (and over placebo) by the third year.  Meaning it didn’t just help prevent cognitive …

How CBD Oil May Help Treat Difficult Or Chronic Skin Conditions

    Cannabinoid receptors are found all throughout our body, including throughout our skin. CBD is incredibly anti-inflammatory and soothing (if you want to hear me speak about the role of CBD in trauma recovery, you can listen to my podcast on that here) so it’s no surprise that researchers have found several different cannabinoid receptors in the skin. Both cannabinoid receptors type 1 and type 2 (CB1 and CB2) are found in all skin, and help regulate everything from our hair growth to our skin’s immune system to it’s oil production.  CB1 and CB2 receptors have been found in …
