SIBO, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, happens when the bacteria that normally grows in the large intestine is present in the small intestine.

MS and chronic disease in general beats us up emotionally. It affects our self-esteem, self-confidence, and robs us of our hopes and dreams.

Overcoming food addictions can be extremely hard. We want to make healthy choices but sometimes we’re dealing with strong cravings that hold us back and slow down our recovery from chronic disease.

It’s that time of year again, when ticks are out and Lyme disease is front and centre. Lyme disease is spread through biting insects.

In a 2015 study of neurological deaths of American adults compared with other countries, every country’s rate of neurological deaths rose relative to the controls, but most significantly in the US, which is a huge cause
For many us diagnosed with a disease label, before that diagnosis we thought we were healthy. We started having symptoms and went to our doctor, only to be given a life-altering diagnosis. From there we followed standard of care and managed our symptoms, all the while losing our independence and our quality-of-life. But then we start to research.
