Environment Pillar
Is Clutter Filling Your Life and Home?
It is Mental Health Awareness month and our second week of applying our Four Pillars of Health. We’re going to switch this up a bit! I typically talk about ditch and switch when speaking on the environment, which is always good to do because there is so much information on environmental pollution and mental health, but today we’re going to talk about the physical environment.

Gardens and friends can contain annuals, perennials, evergreens and of course, even weeds.
What is MTHFR?
When I first started practicing, we didn’t know exactly what MTHFR was. Now we do and to shortly put it, it means that you do not detoxify the same way that everyone else’s body does. The great news is, my treatment over the years hasn’t changed. For the treatment of MTHFR, I traditionally focus on my environment and nutrition pillars from the Four Pillars of Health. These two pillars are instrumental in making sure your body is operating optimally.
Understanding the Body Systems
We have doctors for everything – lady doctors, heart doctors, kidney doctors, colon doctors… you name it, we have a doctor for it. But, what at I have found over the years, is none of those doctors are actually talking to each other, which is a major issue.
