Your gut lining is protected by microscopic seals between cells called tight junctions. These seals help block harmful toxins while still letting nutrients through — like a smart filter for your body.
But everyday exposures like gluten and glyphosate (a chemical found in herbicides like Roundup) can weaken these seals, allowing things into your bloodstream that don’t belong and letting essential nutrients leak out. ION* Gut Support helps strengthen and restore this intelligent barrier in just 16 minutes — supporting digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health.

Homeopathy is one of the oldest forms of medicine in recorded history.
“Homeopathy achieved its greatest popularity in the 19th century. It was introduced to the United States in 1825, and the first American homeopathic school opened in 1835. Throughout the 19th century, dozens of homeopathic institutions appeared in Europe and the United States. During this period, homeopathy was able to appear relatively successful, as other forms of treatment could be harmful and ineffective.”
Desbio is company that makes homeopathic remedies in support of treating a wide variety of physical and mental/emotional conditions.

Food Sensitivity/Food Inflammation Testing (FIT)
Food allergies and sensitivities are becoming all too common in today’s world. Genetics plays a role in food sensitivities, however a vast majority of our allergic reactions and sensitivities are due to the toxins that are ubiquitous in the environment (and our body). Toxins that can be found in the air, food, water and in many of the household and personal care products we use every day can severely impact our ability to digest, absorb, assimilate and utilize the macro and micronutrients from the food we eat.
In addition to avoiding environmental toxins, and completing a food-elimination diet, FIT testing can be a great way to get some clues as to which foods you may wan to eliminate first to help treat pain/inflammation, brain fog and immune related issues commonly associated to “leaky gut”.

Mitochondrial Efficiency Testing
Our mitochondria are little engines within each of our cells that fuel nearly every process our brain, heart, liver, muscles and immune system. Mitochondria are also the gatekeepers of metabolic balance, inflammation, cellular repair and longevity. When our mitochondria are not healthy, fatigue, brain fog, hormonal balance and chronic disease often follow.
Testing our actual mitochondrial function can be tricky, if not impossible because we cannot see inside each of the 1000’s of mitochondria that are in each cell of our vital organs. However, this new test by meScreen is the most comprehensive test out there today. By taking a sample via blood spot, the scientists at meScreen are able to test our blood plasma with separately sourced muscle cells samples in a lab and measure 13 separate indicators of mitochondrial function including general mitochondrial efficiency and potential, respiration and glycolysis, baseline and stressed ROS production and many other proprietary measurements.
It’s expensive at ~$500, but it’s a great way to get some baseline metrics at the cellular level.
