When Your Labs “Look Normal” – What Your Doctor Might Be Missing​

Hearing “your labs look normal” can be one of the most frustrating experiences. You know something is wrong—the fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, and unexplained pain are very real—yet traditional medical testing continues to show nothing conclusive.

This disconnect isn’t your imagination, nor is it necessarily your doctor’s fault. It’s often the result of a medical system designed around treating acute conditions rather than understanding the complex interplay of factors that create chronic illness.

In our latest article, learn more about hidden culprits, what your doctor might not be testing, and guidance on comprehensive testing options.​

Dr. Eric Gordon recently sat down with Micheal Roesslein host of the Full Circle Healing Podcast to discuss how COVID affects the body's immune system, why it can be more challenging to recover from chronic illness post-pandemic, the importance of addressing musculoskeletal imbalances in the context of healing, how chronic infections like Lyme disease and Epstein Barr can silently impact health, what whole-body approaches can do to support healing, and much more!​

May be an image of text that says 'the Menopause Fairy At first she steals your figure, then she steals your sleep, next your mood, your patience, your eyesight and finally she eats your brain! All she leaves you with is a lousy moustache, a muffin top, hot flushes, itchy skin, 10 million moods, a a dodgy memory and an endless need for naps, coffee, wine and carbs.'


Hormone Optimization 3-Day Masterclass​
In the upcoming Hormone Optimization Masterclass, Dr. Nafysa Parpia sheds light on why midlife women can suddenly be hit with unexplained symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, aches, and pains.

When women enter perimenopause, they naturally begin to lose bone density. What many don’t realize is that bones aren’t only structural supports – in addition to other purposes such as blood cell production, they’re also storage sites for heavy metals, particularly lead. As bone loss occurs, stored metals can leach into the bloodstream, creating what’s known as “endogenous contamination.”

Join Dr. Parpia for the 3-Day Virtual Hormone Optimization Masterclass, March 28th - 30th, for her masterclass presentation: Over 40 and Toxic: The Unexpected Release of Long-Stored Heavy Metals

A New Blog Post From Doc!​

There's a lot of talk in the news right now about Avian influenza, and for good reason. The virus is having a significant impact on the economy driving the cost of poultry and eggs through the roof. It's also affecting the dairy industry as milk cows are now contracting the disease. There have been some human cases as well.
So, what do we need to know about this bug and, more importantly, how do we prevent it from wreaking havoc on our homesteads and families...?

Your grandparents didn't panic when food ran short.
They didn't have DoorDash or Costco.
They had skills.
  • They knew how to spot nutrition in the weeds.
  • How to make medicine from bark and roots.
  • How to thrive when others fell apart.
It's called foraging.
And it's not just a hobby—it's how your bloodline made it this far.
Today, that knowledge is almost gone.
But if you've got the will to learn it—you'll never be helpless again.
Most people wait until it's too late.
They don't realize they're missing the one thing that could keep them alive when the system buckles.
Don't be most people.
Learn what your grandparents knew.

Before you need it.
👉 Discover the ancient skills that could save your life



Stay safe out there,

P.S. This isn't about fear—it's about freedom.

pic-wild-lettuce-min.png

Sometimes referred to as "frontier morphine," Wild Lettuce is a powerful, natural alternative to dangerous opioids.

Easy to identify and highly valued for its significant medicinal benefits, this plant has been used by Native Americans for generations to treat pain and inflammation. The secret lies in its milky sap, known as lactucarium, which acts as a potent pain reliever without the risks associated with prescription painkillers.

When you come across Wild Lettuce, it’s crucial to know what to do next. Foraging Secrets will show you how to properly harvest and use this remarkable plant.

They Should Teach This in Schools​

pic-forager-min.png

The wisdom that once allowed our ancestors to feed and heal themselves using wild plants was passed down from generation to generation.

Sadly, much of this invaluable knowledge has been forgotten over time, as modern conveniences have taken precedence.

Imagine the benefits if our children learned about the natural bounty around them, just as our ancestors did. Since it’s not taught in schools, it’s up to us to keep this plant wisdom alive. We must pass it down to our kids and grandkids, teaching them the art of foraging and the value of wild plants. Our lives—and theirs—may one day depend on it.

NEW Podcast Episode:
The Father of Functional Medicine: How to Boost Immunity, Reverse Aging and Prevent Disease with Dr. Jeffrey Bland
What if aging didn’t have to mean decline, but meant renewal instead? What if food wasn’t just fuel, but a key to longevity, immunity, and total well-being? In this compelling episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the Father of Functional Medicine, to explore the science of immuno-rejuvenation and the keys to turning back our biological clocks.

Dr. Bland unpacks how our immune systems don’t have to deteriorate with age — revealing how we can reverse immune aging naturally. He shares groundbreaking research on Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat, a lost superfood packed with over 120 immune-boosting polyphenols, and explains why diet personalization is crucial for long-term vitality.

The conversation also dives into the emerging science behind GLP-1 hormones, like those used in Ozempic, and how our bodies naturally regulate appetite and metabolism. Dr. Bland also explores the secrets of Blue Zones, the critical role of soil health in human health, and the concept of resonance — how everything from the food we eat to our emotional environment can either support or disrupt our body’s natural harmony.

Mentor to the likes of Dr. Mark Hyman and others, and the founder of Big Bold Health, Dr. Bland is at the forefront of a movement revolutionizing immune resilience, regenerative agriculture, and planetary health, proving that our well-being is deeply interconnected with the world around us.

Packed with science-backed wisdom, practical tools, and eye-opening insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to take control of their health in a truly holistic, functional, and personalized way.

Forgiving the Unforgivable: The Path to True Freedom with Sarah Grynberg
What if forgiveness wasn’t about them, but was instead about setting yourself free? In this nugget from last week's episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, Sarah Grynberg dives into the profound topic of forgiving the unforgivable. She shares her personal journey with forgiveness — how she once held onto anger and resentment, only to realize that true freedom comes not from excusing others, but from releasing the emotional weight that holds us back. Sarah explains how forgiveness is not about letting someone off the hook, but rather about reclaiming your own peace. If you've ever struggled to let go of past hurts, this conversation offers deep insights and practical wisdom on how to shift your mindset and heal from within.

@Bliss Doubt , this might help you

Sorry Jimi. I don't know how I missed this, since you called me out with it.

I use a lot of lavender essential oil for all sorts of purposes. I think it does promote balance and relaxation.

I have only once tried frankincense essential myself, in 2018 when I had the horrendous eczema attack and was trying anything and everything I could read about. I recall mixing it into a body butter, but I didn't like the body butter because it made the bed sheets greasy. I do have a bag of myrrh chips I burn whenever I want to purify my place and chase away cooking smells. It is strong, so opening windows afterwards completes the process.

Believe this or not, but I always used juniper berries for birth control, 12 berries swallowed whole with orange juice each morning when in a relationship. My book of Native American medicine says the natives called them "bastard killers". Hawaiian women used papaya seeds, but it was easier for me just to have Whole Foods order me a bag of juniper berries.

Herb roasted potatoes? Yeah, any day any time, no reason even needed! Nice to know they're that beneficial.
