Two livestreams, one day! See you tonight!
Dr. John Catanzaro was a naturopathic physician in Bothell, WA when the state suspended him on claims he was misleading cancer patients. He owned the Health and Wellness Institute of Integrative Medicine and Cancer Treatment where he was using what he called a "cancer vaccine" to help patients. The DOH alleged that Dr. Catanzaro neglected to tell some of his patients the treatment was experimental. I was a TV reporter in Seattle at the time, assigned to this story at night after his office had closed. We aired the DOH claims without a statement from Dr. Catanzaro and thereby smeared his practice. Later, I interviewed several of his patients who credited him with their lives, and were horrified the state required the destruction of their treatment. But in many ways it was too late, the damage was done.
I was a chronic first-thing-after-waking-up coffee drinker for probably 20 years. I didn’t think anything of walking from my bedroom straight to the stove to start boiling water for my French press. I thought that was “healthy” - especially since my coffee was organic. Little did I know the abuse I was putting my gut through, spiking stress hormones and increasing stomach acid.
When I hit my 40s, my body rebelled against my routine. I switched my morning drink to meat broth about 3 years ago. I learned from Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride (GAPS diet) that meat broth is better for beginners than bone broth because it has fewer histamines. Bone broth is still highly nutritious because the longer simmering time produces a high mineral content, once you've begun healing your gut with meat broth and your body tolerates it.
I still drink matcha or coffee but never first thing. I no longer “get right to work” while the kids are still sleeping. I start my day in silent communion with...
My friend's cow ran off during her grandson's birthday party. We went on the chase in her peach fields and found Emmy enjoying freedom with a side of fresh grass.
Emmy produces 6 GALLONS of milk a day at peak! It's full of vitamin K2 which our body needs to absorb vitamin D into our bones. That's why I take the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture. Instead of JUST a butter oil or JUST a fish oil, it's both packed together so I get the most bioavailability out of both. It ended my battle with chronic cavities.

Sassy got a pedicure today and the farrier used a blowtorch. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen this done but she didn’t seem to even notice. Then again she wasn’t looking at the fire blowing on her hoof! 🙈
I keep my nails healthy without a blowtorch - instead I use the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture! It’s packed with vitamins A, D & K from wild caught fish and milk produced by cows eating nutrient dense spring grass. Ditch the generic cheap fish oil.
