You might not be aware of it, but electricity affects you. Even if you don’t feel it, it would be absurd to think it doesn’t.

We are electrical beings!

We have nerves that are conduits for electric fluids and send electrical signals throughout the body and to the brain, making it possible for us to move, to think, and to feel, and for our bodies to function optimally.

It’s an intricate system and any disruption to it can lead to illness.

Let’s rewind for a second…

What even are EMFs?

EMFs, electrical magnetic frequencies, are naturally delivered from the sun. We have evolved to utilize these natural EMFs to fuel and optimize our function.

nnEMFs, non-native electrical magnetic frequencies, on the other hand, are man-made and delivered to us by modern-day technologies: lightbulbs, computers, cell phones, 5G towers, microwaves, etc. These frequencies are different from the sun and they create oxidative...

I spent 6 weeks in Lisbon in May and June of this year. While I’ve been to Portugal a few times when I was younger (my parents were both born there), this was my first time spending an extended amount of time there as an adult, and I loved it! It was very nostalgic for me and oddly felt like home - from the food, to the smells, to all the locals sitting around smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee in cafes.

Here are some of my favorite places if you find yourself there!

Grocery Stores/Markets:

BioMercado and Go Natural are the main organic grocery stores in Lisbon. They have organic produce, eggs, dairy, and any most other healthier packaged items you’re looking for. They also have some organic meat products and sometimes liver, but I was unclear whether they were grass-fed.

Grass-fed Meat:

My go-to for grass-fed meat and raw cheeses was Mercearia Açores/Azores Grocery. You can actually also find grass-fed meat at...

Today's blog post is actually a healthy travel guide for London! 

I haven’t done too many of these, so if you find them valuable, please comment and let me know and I’ll try to retrospectively create city guides for all the other places I’ve been around Central America over the last 2 years!

These aren’t the usual healthy “travel” guides, as I spent 4-8 weeks in each place I travel, so while I’ll share some great restaurants and bakeries, I want to also share the best grocery stores, where to get grass-fed meat and raw milk, gyms, massages, facialists, and anything else I think is worth sharing!

HEALTHY TRAVEL GUIDE TO LONDON!

I spent a few months in London two winters ago and then a few weeks again last month. I see the appeal of living in an English speaking country in Europe, but I missed the sun a little bit too much! Also, having a Whole Foods to walk into and get whatever food product you...

One of the most common questions I’ve been getting on Instagram lately is “Why is your tongue blue?”

And for those who know why it’s blue want to know “But why? What are the benefits?”

METHYLENE BLUE

MB has a pretty fascinating history as it was historically used to treat malaria in the 19th and 20th centuries. It’s also one of the first lines of defense in hospitals to treat chemical poisonings.

MB also inactivates viruses, such as:

• Herpes
• West Nile
• HIV
• COVID (hydroxychloroquine is actually derived from MB)

Side note: MB anti-viral properties are enhanced in combination with red light therapy (discount code: RFN20 for 20% off)!

MB also helps with the following:

• Brain function and cognition
• Emotional regulation (especially for those with depression)
• Increasing oxygen consumption and ATP production, increasing energy
• Improving metabolic function
• Decreasing oxidative stress
• Cancer

My motto for drinking water has always been “You can either use a filter or be a filter.” When I can’t source this blog post I wrote on the dangers of drinking unfiltered tap water and the raw spring water I can’t live without.  Until pretty recently, I thought that I had my water bases covered, until I started researching how detrimental showering in unfiltered water could be.
