Franken-Ingredients Glossary
If you’re reading labels, then you’re ahead of the game. If you can pronounce every word on an ingredients list, then you’re in the 99th percentile.

Natural Athlete’s Foot Treatments
Speaking from experience, Athlete’s Foot can be a real pain in the….foot. Through the course of a couple years, I’ve tried numerous over (and under) the counter options from creams, to oral medications, to nail polishes. None of which seemed to give any lasting cure.

Flu / Covid / Common Cold Immune Boosting Protocol
The strength of your immune system relies heavily upon microbiome health and stress. Those two factors can almost be looked at as one, since stress will affect the microbiome, and an unbalanced microbiome is a stressor. Balancing the microbiome and managing stress both require lifestyle changes. These changes, in time, can lower the frequency of

Yay or Nay On Erythritol?
Experts have been trying to crack the code on no-calorie sweeteners for decades. Many of the earliest sweeteners, from Sweet N’ Low (carcinogen) to Splenda (neurotoxin) proved to be detrimental to our health. Then Stevia came along, and everyone rejoiced. In the last decade, some new sweeteners have come into favor such as Monk Fruit
