Radio Naturopath Episode 409: Disc Bulge Update, COVID-19 Reminder, Anti-Inflammatory Foods

This week we updated about my injuries, the bulging disc, femoral nerve impingement, and sprain/strained knee. It's TIRING. But, onward with rest, PT, walking, swimming, craniosacral therapy, and supplements. I'm going to start Green Lipped Mussel! Anti-inflammatory and helps to rebuild joints! We also updated about COVID-19; at the moment, cases are pretty low in Connecticut but I have some patients who have been exposed or are catching it. I'm seeing some folks wearing masks in public places, I reminded us all about cleaning our noses and throats, good nutrition, rest, exercise, and a few supplements. Then we talked all about anti-inflammatory foods, like berries, cherries, oily fish, and broccoli!

Radio Naturopath Episode 349: Natural Help for Spring Allergies 2022

Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you! This week I talked about something that I don't even know if the 4th can help: respiratory allergies! I've been watching Ron sniffle and snort and get headaches and test negative repeatedly for COVID-19. I thought it was time to talk about healthy nasal sprays, neti pots, healthy eating, rest and restorative activities, indoor hygiene like HEPA filters and washing the bedding! WEIRDEST SUPPLEMENT: Quail egg extract! You can take it in a chewable for acute symptoms. Trypsin inhibitor extraordinaire, and great for symptoms!

Radio Naturopath Episode 189: Colds and Flus 2018; Why Leafy Greens Are Good

I have been seeing so many people coming in with colds and coughs and sinus infections. Some of them come and tell me they're getting over the infections, and went to the MD who gave them antibiotics, steroid inhalers or nasal sprays, a course of prednisone, and/or a decongestant. I tell them next time, come see me! There is so much that naturopathic physicians can do help to prevent and treat coughs, colds, and flu that don't involve immunosuppressive steroids and decongestants. Neti pots, xylitol/saline nasal spray, gargling, washing your hands are all really important. There are great herbs and vitamins that can help too! Also, I talk about why leafy greens are so great. Did you know that cabbage and sauerkraut can prevent esophageal cancer? I LOVE sauerkraut! And it's vegan!
