Conventional medicine and functional medicine share an important goal: helping patients improve their health. Where they can differ is in how they investigate a health issue, how much of the patient’s story is considered, and how a treatment plan is developed.

It's summer. It's hot. You're sweating. And you’ve probably heard the term electrolytes a lot lately. Sports drinks, hydration powders, social media influencers—everyone seems to be talking about them. But here’s a question we hear often: Are electrolytes the same thing as minerals? Not exactly.

Understanding the differences between the two can help you decide which option may be best for your health journey—or why combining both may provide even greater benefits.

We’re excited to finally introduce HOCATT —a cutting edge technology designed to support detoxification, energy, and whole-body wellness. It’s a multi-modality therapy system that allows you to experience a combination of advanced treatments—all at once—while you relax in a comfortable, spa-like chamber.

IgG blood panels are the most popular, and the ordering providers promise it will identify the foods “causing” your symptoms. But the science behind these tests is much weaker than the marketing—and in many cases, the results can be very misleading.

The harsh reality is, we are not cows. We are humans. And the milk that we consume from a cow is their "breast milk" for their calves. In fact, that milk is so full of hormones and growth factors, it takes a little calf and turns it into a 1,000 pound steer in the first year of life!

I’m not sure how it happened, but the end of 2025 is here. And it’s natural to reflect on all that happened in the span of 12 months. 365 days. 

Our founder, Keri, has created a gift guide of some of her favorite things. All hand picked with clean and non-toxic living in mind. You’ll find ideas for anyone on your list (including yourself!), that all support a healthy lifestyle.

Cosmetic procedures are everywhere these days - breast implants, fillers, you name it. And while these treatments can absolutely boost confidence, there’s also a not-so-glamorous side of things: inflammation, strange symptoms, and something called biofilms that most people don’t even know exist.

When you test hormones using urine, you gain insight into their metabolism. And how you metabolize estrogen can influence how it affects your cells, the symptoms you experience, and overall vitality. One pathway in particular — the 4-hydroxylation (4-OH) pathway — has drawn attention for its potential link to breast cancer risk.
