Chlorine is a toxic chemical. Exposure can damage arteries and weaken the immune system. Injesting it destroys fatty acids. This is why you mist never drink tap water unless filtered or from a well. Acidosis also occurs because cellular oxygenation is suppressed. Aside from avoiding tap water, pools are filled with chlorine. You can lobby for salt water pools but additionally a tip to help decrease its toxicity is vitamin C. Non gmo vitamin c destroys chlorine and vice versa. You have to intake more vitamin c when exposed to neutralize the chlorine. This doesn’t mean you can just dump vitamin c into tap water, mostly becuase vitamin c can’t neutralize the other toxins found in tap water. But it can help when exposed in pools. 1200mg is a great dosage. Buffered vitamin C can also be a great substitute if it’s too acidic for you. But non gmo is a must. The health ranger has a great clean version. #Chlorine #ChlorinePools #SaltwaterPools #VitaminC #Vitaminchack #SummertimeTip #HolisticHealth

As ones who are called to be light, we have created a very dysfunctional pattern with the natural light. I’m pretty convinced that a good majority of energy issues, sleep issues, hormone dysfunction in adults and focus/mood patterns in kids is due to what’s in our hand, and polluting our eyes. Technology can be amazing, but can also be dangerous. Doing this digital detox, has been amazing for resetting a lot of things, and I encourage you to listen to the latest podcast, as it might connect a lot of dots for you. It’s not about the perfect supplements or diets… but really about our circadian rhythms… and we’ve gotten very far from that… #lighttherapy #bluelightblockingglasses #digitaldetox #sleephygiene #naturalcircadianrhythm #antiaging #holistichealth #functionalmedicine

Your #tongue is a major sensory organ. And when its not functioning properly either because of cranial nerve issues, the cranial being torqued, infections, tongue tie and oral posture issues, the entire body tries to seek the sensory.. This can lead to a ton of #postural problems, like neck pain, pelvis instability and feet issues to name a few. Look upstream if you constantly have lower body issues.

A cause for#Headaches and #dizziness can be an underdeveloped Maxilla with Tori. This causes the sinus to not drain on a regular basis because the cranium isn’t moving properly, causing an increase of pressure in the head with headaches and dizziness. What’s needed here is to open up and move the cranial bones and drain the sinuses and lymphatic fluid first. Basically you need to work with the neurology first. Then you can work with a provider using expansion method of the upper pallet or maxilla. do you have any of these bone growths? your dentist mentioned these to you? I find many Dentists don’t even tell patients about them, or just tell them they are normal. But they are result of clenching and improper dynamics of movement. Once you fix the movement, your body can actually re-absorb this excess bone that was built. I’ve seen it happen many times where these growths actually go down or completely dissolve as the stress on that area is taken away. #Tori #Cranial #Headaches #Dizziness #RidOfHeadaches #Airway#drainyoursinuses

Problems with #lymphatic flow? Make sure you are stretching the hip flexors and releasing the diaphragm. Many people with postural problems, like airway restriction and rib flares have this chronically, tense and tight and then have issues with their lymphatic and bowel movement . They then spend lots of money on supplements to help move their lymphatic fluid, when you actually have to move the fluid the supplements won’t move it. Your diaphragm actually has to move properly in order to pump fluid up and down. So using your diaphragm in this breathing technique can help pump fluid. This is also a technique known in martial arts as #reversebreathing. This is not breathing you want to do all the time, but you can use it to help pump fluid, and also while you are stretching and releasing muscles to get fluid moving better. I always recommend nasal breathing! #lymph #breathingtechnique #airway #moveyourlymph #lymphaticdrainage

Our western culture, relies on pills and technology to solve our health problems which discounts the role of the conscious mind, and the brain and neurotransmitters ability to do what it needs to do. The brain does it best. And has 10,000 times the pain killing power of morphine. We have an inherent power to alter pain perception. This is why an inside out approach to healing is so much more effective. Figuring out what your body needs, what environment your brain needs and if your appropriately making neurotransmitters changes the perception of circumstances. Because your brain is a master pharmacologist, without the side effects. The mind is also extremely powerful. And in most cultures, pain is a part of life, a signal that is telling us change needs to happen. . When we ignore it or mask it, we miss where we could fix it. #Pain #ChronicPain #Healing #Mindset #brainhealth

Tools can sometimes be amazing to track progress. This is a really inexpensive tool I’ve been playing around with the track the resistance when I nasal breathe. This is called a PIFM. The higher the number the more open your passageways. Many think they can nasal breathe, but their capacity is actually really low, decreasing the oxygen ability. Even though I’ve had my palate expanded, Myofunctional therapy, tongue tie release and nutritional work, I’m still not optimal, which means I still have some work to do!! It’s great to have data:) #nasalbreathing #pifm #airway #cranial

I see this quite a bit after releasing the cranium of tension internally, afterwards someone in their lower back has a huge increase in range of motion. How? The body is all connected and this #fascia system starts inside your head around your brain and spinal cord into your tongue and down the rest of your body. When you start unwinding these patterns your nervous system doesn’t have to rely on those protective mechanisms anymore, it’s quite amazing. Most tension is #neurological, you need to figure out why the brain is doing it, but in some cases like fascia restrictions in the tongue it can also be structural. as an adult, if you’re going to get your Tongue Tie released, make sure you do nervous system work, fascia, release, cranial work, tongue therapy before going right in and releasing it. Or else you might not see much change or cause some issues. #fascia #tonguetie #tensebody #release #tonguepower

In the latest podcast I ask Ashok what happens when individuals are free of infections and then all of a sudden they “come back”. We see this a lot in infections like Lyme and other stealth culprits, and many practitioners just say they came out of hiding… But is that really what happens?! Check out the episode and find out !

Another gem from the #unfilteredhealingpodcast. We wouldn’t have so many dust storms and floods if the soil was healthy. Additionally, healthy food goes back to healthy #soil. We’re heading into a food crisis… a famine of sorts of quality food.. which should be a wake up call for many to start growing their own food and looking into rebuilding the soil… Don’t forget to like comment and share on the latest episode ❤️ #soil #agriculture #duststorms #deadfood #regenerativefarming

Alright so a little backstory before I get into it. This patient we have been working on her structure for awhile but her left neck and shoulder continually lock up in tension. No matter how much it’s stretched-> gets tight again… why? It’s neurological. We found that one eye works different from the other, meaning they weren’t teaming together. When your eyes don’t team or converge together, it puts a massive stress on your brain. And creates neurological tension patterns as well as your brain continuing in sympathetic dominance. So here we are just using color therapy to calm down the vision and calm down the brain and see if that affected her shoulder range of motion. Now we know, definitively that her eyes are one of the biggest factors that are contributing to this one-sided tension pattern in her body. After this, she’ll go to the neurologist ophthalmologist and get a proper examination, do some vision therapy, and we will continue with colored therapy. If you have stubborn range of motion patterns, and it’s not your bite pattern being off, look to the #eyes. #ColorTherapy #Cranial #ShoulderInjury #BrainReset #BrainDock #visiontherapy

🔥on the latest episode on the #unfilteredhealingpodcast, we have the honor of @masters.nicole sharing about our current global food crisis and how #renegerativeagriculture is the answer.

Mid neck problems are Tmj/airway problems. One of the most common areas is the mid neck C3 C4 C5 region that is constantly under stress because of the tug-of-war between the jaw and the rest of the body in gravity. This is a neurological input. And not a result of not enough neck tucks. this patient specifically cannot breathe effectively through their nose for many years which lead to degeneration in this area of the neck and problems into the shoulders and arms as a result. Fixing of these areas of the neck requires a full body approach. You need to change the neurological reasons that your head jaw and neck are going forward and the rest of your body is pulling backward. You need to address why they aren’t nasal breathing and probably why they’re cranium is in a dysfunctional pattern. #ChronicNeckPain #DMJ #Bulge #DiscBulge #MRIResults #cranialdoc

#surgicalscars can be a big one for nervous system dysfunction. Your skin is highly innervated, but additionally, there are lots of different channels called meridians that go along different areas of your skin. These meridians are like circuits and help regulate different organ systems of your body. so if there’s a disrupt or disconnection in those meridian systems, that will affect how your nervous system and how those organs function properly. Your bellybutton is actually your first scar. So you can start working on that first off. But additionally, there’s lots of fascia work you can do around your scar, laser, therapies, and different homeopathic you can use to help regain neurological function there again. It also dramatically decreases lymphatic flow. When skin heals it heals in a very dysfunctional pattern, so it needs to be broken up and aligned with collagen properly. #TummyTuck #ScarTissue #Nervous system #NervousSystemHack #scartissueinjection

NEWSFLASH.. since we are no longer taking new patients, and so many people need help, we’re going to try to do our best to do a monthly live Q&A on Instagram. This is not medical advice, it is just guidance with experience to help with questions you may have about your body. For those who are current patients, if you can, please leave the questions to those that aren’t as you have access to me. How this will work is, I will post in my Instagram story a thread so that you can ask any question. Then the following week I will put all the questions together and answer them on Instagram live. So make sure your notifications are on for our page. We hope that this will help reach more people and help more to empower them to live the life They are called to. Stay blessed. #LiveQ&A #Podcast #Health #HolisticHealth #GetYourQuestionsAnswered
