Heavy Metals & Your Health

Published on: 10/22/2025

Understanding Exposure and the Integrative Path to Detox. A lot of people think of toxins as something that only affects factory workers or people living near industrial sites. The truth is far more personal. Every day, small amounts of heavy metals such as mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium, and arsenic find their way into our food, water, and even our homes. Over time, these exposures can slowly fill what Dr. Stephen Cabral in his great book "The Rain Barrel Effect" calls “the rain barrel”—our body’s internal capacity to handle stressors. When that barrel finally overflows, symptoms begin to appear.

Signs of Imbalance

Published on: 10/21/2025

One of Ayurveda’s greatest gifts is the ability to see subtle changes in the body and mind before they become illness. These early signs are calledvikruti— shifts in your natural constitution (prakriti). By learning to recognize them, you can gently restore balance long before deeper dysfunction sets in. In modern language, this is preventive health at its finest: the ability to interpret your body’s signals as data. The dry skin, racing thoughts, irritability, heaviness, or fatigue that many dismiss as “normal” are actually messages from your physiology asking for alignment.

Balancing Men’s Hormones: Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone & Cortisol

Published on: 09/18/2025

Hormones are chemical messengers that coordinate many systems in the body—metabolism, mood, reproduction, energy, stress responses, sleep, and more. For men, four key hormones—testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol—form a network whose balance is essential. When they drift out of alignment, the effects can be wide-ranging: fatigue, mood changes, weight shifts, or diminished vitality. Integrative medicine and Ayurveda offer rich wisdom for understanding what can knock these hormones off balance, recognizing the signs, and restoring greater harmony.

Did you know that up to 60% of U.S. adults don’t get enough magnesium—and that this ‘invisible deficiency’ may be fueling fatigue, poor sleep, and cardiovascular risk? When I was in my Integrative Health Practitioner training, I was surprised to learn just how common and impactful this mineral deficiency really is.
