Too many people suffer from bad testing and the "treatments" or regimens for things that many of them do not have.

Just because a test is available does not mean it is accurate or the right way to test for things.

Many tests are designed to help sell products or specific treatments.

That's not the way it should be.

Please talk to your primary care doctor if you have questions about a particular test. Don't hesitate to get a second opinion if things don't seem right, the recommended treatments seem extreme, or you are suffering a lot.

We have many references and sources for information on testing and are happy to supply them if you need help.

Buying supplements on Amazon is always risky.

Over and over again, products fail independent testing and continue to be sold.

In addition, adulteration and counterfeit products continue to abound.

Is Amazon's convenience worth the risk?

We overheard Josh saying this to a sales rep and thought it was a perfect quote!

So many supplements claim to be whole food products when they are anything but.

These are five companies that actually make real 100% whole food supplements!

Unfortunately, far too many companies prefer to make fake ones rather than do the right thing because it's cheaper and easier.

Check out our latest blog so you can spot the fake ones and learn what goes into making a real whole-food supplement.

So many supplements claim to be whole food products when they are anything but.

There are lots of different tactics that companies use to make people think fake whole food supplements are whole food ones.

Such as:

Feeding and fermenting synthetic and isolated vitamins and minerals to yeast.

Mixing synthetic and isolated vitamins and minerals with small amounts of food.

Claiming to derive a vitamin from a food that does not contain that nutrient. For example, b-12 supplements that claim to be from nutritional yeast, even though nutritional yeast does not naturally contain b-12.

Claiming to make a vitamin from a particular food that only contains very small amounts of that nutrient, which would mean it would be financially impossible to make and sell that product. For example, zinc supplements that claim to be made from guava.

Check out our latest blog to learn how to spot a lot of common fake whole food supplement marketing tactics.

Did you know that maca comes in a variety of colors, even though it comes from the same seed?

The different colors can have very different effects.

Yellow - Nourishing and best taken daily over the long term to build health and a support a healthy response to stress.

Black - Represents the external energy of our body (it is the male side of the maca), which strengthens, gives vitality, and gives direction to our organism.

Red - Represents the internal energy of our body, that energy that nourishes, stabilizes, and calms us (it is the feminine side of the maca). Red maca root takes care of our entire inner being and our feminine energy; it is like a warm and loving hug from your mum.

Check out our page, The Colors of Maca, to learn more about what the different colors do.

Addicted to these, especially when rolled in coconut flakes!

Current farming practices are leading to massive topsoil use. At the current rate, we only have about 45-60 years.

The remaining soil is often dead, and there are little to no nutrients left in it.

It's imperative that we switch to regenerative agriculture to prevent this devastation.

Regenerative agriculture adds carbon to the soil, improves local water tables and rainfall, and produces the most nutritious foods.

The brands of foods and supplements you buy can have a powerful impact on improving the world!

This is one of the easiest and most impactful ways we can make a huge difference without much effort.

For example, if everyone switched collagen powders, from ones made from cattle that were farmed by cutting down the Amazon rainforest (which is where most collagen peptide powders are sourced from), to one made from cattle farmed using regenerative agriculture on small family farms, it would protect countless acres of rainforest and reduce carbon emissions.

There are so many swaps like that we can all make, and those decisions add up to make a big difference.

If you are looking to make an ethical food or supplement swap, comment below with a brand and product you want to replace with an ethical one, and we will help you find a better option!

Sunscreen does not have to be full of awful ingredients.

Choose clean-ingredient sunscreens that nourish and protect your skin.

We have been seeing far too many influencers and articles about how you don't need sunscreen.

This is horrible advice. Skin cancer is not something you want to deal with.

We understand that a lot of sunscreens have terrible ingredients, but your choice does not have to be between terrible ingredients and no sunscreens.

Choosing clean, safe sunscreen, wearing sun-protective clothing, and staying in the shade are great ways to reduce your risk of skin cancer.

If you have questions about sunscreen or sun protection, comment below, and we will be happy to answer them!

Bergamot extract has a lot of benefits for your cardiovascular system.

However, those benefits only come to fruition if it's made properly and taken at the right dosage consistently.

Unfortunately, many bergamot supplements are made with makrut lime and not bergamot.

Check out our latest blog to learn how to choose a great bergamot supplement and how to take it.

Did you know that many bergamot supplements are not made from bergamot?

Frequently, they use makrut lime instead of real bergamot.

Check out our latest blog to learn how to get a good bergamot supplement.

Bergamot is a supplement that a lot of people take for cholesterol.

However, a lot of bergamot supplements may not actually contain bergamot.

This is because of a mistranslation of a Thai word.

So many bergamot supplements have pictures of kaffir limes, also known as Thai or makrut limes, on their bottles and literature.

A lot of bergamot supplements are made from this lime, not bergamot.

This means that people looking for the benefits of bergamot are not going to get it.

If a company cannot even put the right fruit on the label, how can we trust them to do proper quality control?
