The Dirt on Humic Supplements: A Rewilded Perspective

Do You Really Need Those Spendy Humic/Fulvic Supplements? My Rewilding Journey

Scrolling through my social media lately, I couldn't help but notice the explosion of trendy humic and fulvic acid supplements promising everything from gut healing to cellular repair. With price tags often starting at $30-40+ per bottle, I had to wonder: are we paying premium prices for something our ancestors got for free?

What Are These Magic Dirt Molecules?

Humic and fulvic acids are complex compounds created when bacteria break down plant matter in soil. They're essentially the "communication network" of healthy soil - helping nutrients move between plants, bacteria, and fungi in that rich underground ecosystem we rarely think about.

Our ancestors consumed these compounds daily through unwashed vegetables, drinking from springs, and their generally closer relationship with the earth. Today, with our filtered water and triple-washed produce, we've ...

The Ancient Wisdom of Horsetail: A Silica-Rich Foundation for Structural Health

There's something truly magical about working with a plant that dinosaurs once walked among. Horsetail (*Equisetum arvense*) has remained virtually unchanged for over 300 million years, making it one of our most ancient plant allies and a living fossil connecting us to Earth's primordial wisdom.

In my practice and personal healing journey, horsetail has become a foundational herb I return to again and again, particularly for its exceptional silica content. As the tissue salt traditionally associated with Sagittarius energy, silica provides that perfect balance of flexibility within strong boundaries—something many o...

As the spring equinox approaches, nature is revealing one of its most powerful teachers – the perfect balance point between darkness and light. This isn't just a date on the calendar; it's nature's New Year, a crucial transition that affects every living thing, including your body.

While many of us associate spring with cleansing, renewal, and fresh starts, there's a fundamental aspect of this season that modern wellness approaches often overlook: the critical need for mineral foundations.

This post accompanies my latest podcast episode,"Spring Equinox Wisdom: How to Build Mineral Foundations That Last" where I dive deep into this connection. Here, I'm sharing some key insights and visual tools to complement what you'll hear in the episode.

In today's world of processed oils and year-round food availability, we've lost touch with one of our ancestors' most crucial nutritional patterns: seasonal consumption of complete vitamin E complex foods. As a mineral balancing practitioner, I've discovered that returning to these ancestral eating patterns provides powerful support for cellular repair, particularly for clients recovering from years of damaged fat consumption—just one of the many modern challenges we face, but the one I'm highlighting today.

As we transition into spring, I'm adjusting my own food and supplements based on my latest HTMA results—a practice I follow each season. This approach aligns with my personal rewilding journey and the core philosophy of rewilded wellness: slowing down, creating space, and restoring connection to what truly matters.

I can still remember that hike with my friend. She wasn't just any friend—she was the kind of person who truly listened, who carried this remarkable calm with her everywhere. A yoga teacher and breathwork facilitator, she embodied the practices she taught.

When we started up the trail that day, I was a mess. My breathing felt labored, and that familiar tightness was creeping into my chest. After decades of respiratory issues and a history of asthma, I recognized the warning signs. My body was preparing to betray me again, or so I thought.

"I don't know if I can do this today," I told her, explaining my breathing concerns between strained breaths. We were walking uphill, and I was already struggling—not just physically, but with the mounting anxiety that comes from feeling your breath become unreliable.

This was during that impossibly difficult period of my life—living in our mold-infested home, trying to grow my business while raising four boys on my own. Stress wasn't just...

The Missing Piece: How Mineral Imbalances Impact Sensory Processing and Development in Children

For years as a nutritional therapist, I've watched parents struggle to find answers for their children with sensory processing challenges and developmental delays. They've tried occupational therapy, behavioral approaches, and countless interventions—all valuable pieces of the puzzle, but often missing a fundamental component: the biochemical foundation that influences how a child's sensory system functions and how they develop cognitively and physically.

Looking Beyond Behavior to Biochemistry

What I've discovered in my practice is that sensory processing and developmental delays aren't just about neural pathways—they're about the cellular environment those neural pathways exist in. When a child seems overwhelmed by tags in clothing, has trouble meeting physical milestones, struggles with language acquisition, or can't regulate their responses to the world around them, we need to ask: wh...

Trace Mineral : Building Blocks for Your Inner Ecosystem

Are you feeling out of balance, like your body's internal environment is in disarray? Just as a thriving ecosystem needs all its elements to function harmoniously, your body's inner ecology relies on a delicate balance of nutrients - with trace minerals playing a crucial role.

In today's world of processed foods and depleted soils, many of us are facing a silent crisis: trace mineral deficiencies. These tiny yet mighty elements are the unsung heroes of our internal ecosystem, affecting everything from our basic bodily functions to our overall sense of wellbeing.

Think of trace minerals as the essential microorganisms in the soil of your body's ecosystem:

• They form the foundation of your physiological processes, much like soil microbes support plant life.
• They help create a resilient internal environment, protecting you from 'invasive species' like illness and stress.
• They nurture the growth of beneficial 'flora and faun...

 Season 2: Episode #2: Spring Clean Your Health: Transitioning from Winter to Spring

As we stand just two weeks away from the official start of spring, I find myself in the midst of a familiar dance – transitioning away from winter habits and embracing the freshness of the upcoming season. This shift isn't just about changing our wardrobes; it's a full-body recalibration that affects how we eat, move, and feel.

Every time we enter a new season, our bodies need time to adjust. Spring, in particular, offers a beautiful opportunity to shed the heaviness of winter and embrace lighter, cleansing foods. It's nature's way of hitting the reset button, and I'm here to guide you through this transition.

In my household, we're in the thick of this winter-to-spring dance. On cold, rainy days (like today on the East Coast), we still crave those warming winter foods. But there's also an undeniable pull towards freshness – those vibrant g...

The Body as an Ecosystem

I begin by examining the idea of our bodies as complex, interconnected ecosystems, much like the natural world around us. Just as a thriving forest needs specific elements to flourish, I explain how our bodies require certain inputs to regenerate and thrive.

The Seven Pillars of Human Health

I remind us of what I believe are the seven crucial pillars for maintaining a healthy body ecosystem:

1. Natural Light and Circadian Rhythms: I discuss the importance of aligning with nature's light cycles for hormone balance and overall well-being.

2. Mineral-Rich Water: I explain how clean, mineralized water supports hydration and cellular function.
