Resources I Trust

After almost 30 years in healthcare, I’ve seen one pattern repeat itself: people aren’t failing their health. Their biology is working against them.

The Feel Great System addresses the two root causes most practitioners and coaches miss—unstable insulin and gut microbiome disruption. These two alone drive fatigue, cravings, brain fog, weight resistance, and inflammation in the majority of my clients.

Balance is a precision fibre matrix that blunts the glucose spike before it happens—no willpower required. When your insulin is stable, your body can finally access fat for fuel and initiate autophagy—your cell’s own cleanup system, clearing debris and reducing inflammation at the source.

Unimate is concentrated yerba mate, clinically studied for focus, mood and metabolic support. It’s the first thing I reach for in the morning.

Together they create the metabolic conditions your body needs to fast comfortably, think clearly and heal. Unimate increases leptin, your satiety hormone, and at the same time decreases cortisol. Without it, many that fast, particularly women, would see a rise cortisol from fasting stress and subsequent spikes in insulin and glucose. It does not pay to “willpower fast.”

The Science behind The Feel Great System for Metabolic Resilience. Supports conditions related to insulin resistance. “93% of American adults are metabolically unhealthy.”

Now you can finally understand what they’re saying.

Most people who get a genetic test walk away overwhelmed — and nothing changes.

I’ve spent almost 30 years connecting the dots that standard medicine misses. Genomic data is only as powerful as the clinical lens you bring to it. That’s why I partnered with Stride Genomics as a Functional Medicine Practitioner — not just to recommend a test, but to help you use it.

WE ARE NOT OUR GENES.

Your genetics loads the possibility. Your lifestyle, nutrition, and environment determine the outcome. This is epigenetics — and it is the foundation of everything I do in functional medicine.

A stride report doesn’t tell you what will happen. It tells you where your biology needs support — and it gives us the precision to act on it intelligently, together.

Why Genes Matter — And What We Do With Them

Every gene variant tells a story. Here are some of the most clinically significant ones I look for — and what they mean for your protocol.

Gene	What It Affects	What We Do
FUT2	Gut microbiome seeding, B12 absorption	Fibre support becomes critical
COMT	Dopamine, oestrogen, stress metabolism	Targeted methylation support prioritised
MTHFR	Methylation, folate cycle, detoxification	Methylated B vitamins, specific nutrient support
FTO / MC4R	Appetite regulation, metabolic rate, fat storage	Enhanced fibre and insulin stabilisation protocol
SOD2	Antioxidant defence, mitochondrial protection	Creatine and antioxidant support prioritised
NOS3	Nitric oxide production, cardiovascular function	Citrulline and cardiovascular support
COL1A1 / COL1A2	Collagen integrity, joint and skin health	Collagen and creatine support
MTRR / MTR	B12 metabolism, methylation efficiency	B12 optimisation, methylation pathway support
CBS	Sulphur metabolism, transsulphuration pathway	Dietary sulphur management, taurine support
VDR	Vitamin D receptor sensitivity	Vitamin D optimisation — critical for immunity and hormones
PEMT	Choline production, liver and cell membrane health	Choline-rich foods, phospholipid support

This is not a generic wellness plan.
This is your biology — mapped, interpreted, and acted on.

The reports are powerful. The interpretation is transformative. Data without direction is just information. Together we turn it into a protocol that is genuinely specific to you.

Stride Genomics is endorsed by Dr. William Li — "a platform that turns science into daily practice" — and trusted by functional medicine practitioners worldwide. Every SNP included in their reports is validated by human studies, replicable, and supported by a minimum of three independent research studies.

I want to start with something Dr. Bruce Hoffman taught me that reframed everything:

We don't get enough light. And our mitochondria are paying for it.

We evolved under full-spectrum sunlight — red and near-infrared wavelengths included. Modern indoor living has stripped that from us entirely. Red light therapy isn't a trend. It's returning to physics. It's giving your cells the wavelengths they were designed to run on.

Why I chose Rouge specifically:

Rouge is a Canadian-founded company with over 1,300 customer reviews — 81% five-star — and a 4.5-star Trustpilot rating. They are approved by Health Canada, FDA registered, and have been trusted for over six years. Their customer service is exceptional — they will actually pick up the phone. Light Therapy Insiders

Rouge offers a 3-year warranty, 60-day no-questions-asked returns, and free shipping from their Canadian warehouse.

This is the company I trust. And I use it personally.

What red light actually does — the science

Mitochondrial Health & ATP Rouge devices send photons directly into the mitochondria of cells, triggering the release of additional ATP — the energy currency that powers every cell in your body. More ATP means better energy, faster healing, and a more resilient metabolism. Redlighttherapydigest

Insulin Resistance & Blood Sugar Peer-reviewed research published in the Journal of Biophotonics found that red light stimulated mitochondria to reduce blood glucose levels by 27.7% following glucose intake, and reduced maximum glucose spiking by 7.5%. For anyone managing insulin resistance — this is a tool worth knowing about. ScienceDaily

Thyroid Health Research suggests red light therapy may benefit the thyroid by improving thyroid hormone production and decreasing thyroid antibody levels — and could help a significant percentage of people with hypothyroidism reduce their reliance on thyroid medication. I navigated thyroid nodules personally. Red light was part of my protocol. Dr. Michael Ruscio

CRPS & Chronic Pain I use Rouge for my own CRPS recovery. The increase in ATP levels promotes deep healing, reduces inflammation, and blocks key pain receptors — providing relief in muscles, joints, and other areas without medication. Redlighttherapydigest

Recovery & Lactic Acid Red light helps clear lactic acid buildup by improving local blood flow and oxygen delivery. Athletes report less soreness and better muscle readiness within 24 hours of treatment. RZ Health & Wellness

Skin Health My son and I both use Rouge — for different reasons. His skin. My recovery and metabolic support. The Elite Face Mask has helped clear skin, calm inflammation, and brighten complexion noticeably. We have both watched warts resolve with consistent use — something that still fascinates me from a cellular healing perspective. Trustpilot

The physics truth most people miss:

Sunlight delivers red and near-infrared wavelengths naturally. In Canada — especially in winter — we are chronically light-deficient. This is not a lifestyle preference. It is a biological reality. Red light therapy is how we close that gap when the sun cannot.

Most of us are oxygen-deprived — and we don't even know it.

We breathe too shallow, too fast, and through the wrong pathway. Mouth breathing bypasses your body's most sophisticated filtration and oxygenation system entirely. Your nose exists for a reason — and when it's compromised by a deviated septum, congestion, or simply habit, every system in your body pays the price.

Nasal breathing supports deeper sleep, more effortless workouts, and better health — and supports your nervous system and sleep cycle so you can fully recharge. Sleep Doctor

The Intake device is what I use personally — at night and during exercise. Its patented two-part system features independent nasal strips and a magnetic relief band that work together to open the nasal passages in a way traditional strips simply can't match.

Who this is for

• Poor sleepers and snorers
• Anyone with a deviated septum or nasal congestion
• Athletes wanting better endurance and recovery
• Those managing stress, anxiety, or nervous system dysregulation (common with stress and gut dysbiosis)
• Anyone doing breathwork who wants to maximize every inhale
• Post-concussion or neurological recovery support

Anyone who snores. Weak lower jaw muscles and improper tongue posture contribute to snoring. Strong snoring can lead to sleep apnea and it has a root cause - improper posture and hypertoned muscles overriding proper fascial structure where the tongue rests on the upper palate. This can be changed, and Oscar Patel, has beautifully illustrated this connection in his health community. The intake device helps to get the necessary oxygen for better REM.

Nasal breathing filters, humidifies, and optimizes each inhale — helping you sleep deeper, recover faster, and breathe easier all day long. Pair it with diaphragmatic breathing or my personal 4-7-8 practice I created, and you've got a genuinely therapeutic protocol.

Intake Breathing is recommended by dentists, chiropractors, and fitness professionals.

It produces gentle electromagnetic pulses that interact with cellular activity and nerve communication. In my own recovery, it became a primary day-to-day support tool for managing symptoms, alongside broader recovery strategies.

For me, having a tool available reduced anxiety during flare periods because I could actively support the area rather than rely only on medication. The device can be positioned directly over an area of discomfort or placed nearby. If an area is very sensitive, it can be applied at a distance and gradually moved closer, allowing a gentle adjustment of exposure.

In my experience, it helped lessen post-surgical swelling and redness around my previously injured leg and reduced the intensity of pain during severe flares. I personally perceived the swelling easing as the area settled. It is also portable, which allowed me to keep it available during travel for unexpected symptom increases.

This tool can lower the overall stress load on the nervous system by reducing swelling and pain. It may reduce reliance on pain medication while recovery strategies are implemented. Organizations such as CRPS Canada have also addressed PEMF as a supportive option for some individuals.

Guided hypnosis audio from Hypnosis Downloads is used as a nervous system regulation tool in chronic pain conditions such as CRPS, as well as during pre- and post-surgical recovery. The intention is to help reduce sympathetic activation and support a calmer parasympathetic state where healing processes are more accessible.

During my recovery, I listened regularly, particularly before sleep and during periods of increased pain or anxiety. The structured voice guidance helped settle my body into a calmer state and improved my ability to relax during difficult phases.

These recordings can also support sleep quality, stress regulation and flare management. They can also influence how the brain processes pain signals and how the body responds to stress.

You can explore the Hypnosis Downloads library by searching for the symptom or concern you want to support, such as pain, sleep, anxiety or recovery preparaton. The link is provided below.

I take this myself. My LDL came down. That is why it is on this page.

C15:0 is the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years — and in a peer-reviewed head-to-head study it demonstrated three times more cellular benefits than omega-3 (EPA). Broader. Safer. More effective at lowering inflammation.

It works directly on the metabolic pathways that matter most — insulin signaling, mitochondrial function, cellular aging, and LDL cholesterol. Backed by 100+ peer-reviewed studies developed over a decade in collaboration with the U.S. Navy.

I recommend both omega-3s and C15:0. They are not either/or. This is what I added when I looked honestly at my own metabolic picture and wanted cellular support the research actually backed.

Environmental toxins are one of the biggest health challenges we face today. This is a core part of my functional practice: we take in toxins daily through our food, air, water, plastics, cosmetics, clothing, cookware, flooring, paints and even implants. Our liver was not build to clear a load this large, and sweating it out is not longer enough on its own. your body and your mind both need support. Top wellness clinics use these products world-wide, and I’m happy to offer them on my website because I too use them because my health is important.

Pure Body Extra uses activated zeolite to bind and remove toxins and heavy metals, giving your detox pathways real support instead of relying on diet alone. Fulvic Minerals+ pairs fulvic acid with trace minerals to feed your gut microbiome and support steady energy and immune function.

For anti-aging, Telo-Vital targets telomere health, the part of your DNA tied to cellular ageing, using organic botanicals researched by longevity scientist Dr. Bill Andrews.

Round out your day with Organic Super Protein for clean plant-based muscle support and Organic Super Fiber for gut health and blood sugar balance.
