You know that feeling when you’re just not feeling right, but your lab results come back saying everything’s "normal"? Yeah, that’s frustrating, right? Well, I get into that in our chat.

I also dive into some common symptoms like PCOS, psoriasis, and insomnia—not...

As someone living with chronic health symptoms, I've learned the importance of choosing the right oils for cooking to support my well-being. Through my journey, I've discovered that while olive oil is not suitable for high-heat cooking, canola oil and avocado oil are excellent options for deep frying, IF you really want to deep fry at home.
