"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day." -Albert Einstein

I believe the quest for knowledge is one of the most thrilling parts of life!

This is especially true for your healing journey – an ever-changing process as you learn, grow, and age.

It’s so important to keep the flame of curiosity alive within yourself as you seek answers. When you give your power away to outside sources and avoid taking an active role in your healing journey – your internal fire dims, healing stagnates, and you stop *truly* living.

Learning to consult scientific resources WHILE staying connected to your intuition for guidance is one of the most important skills you can develop to illuminate the answers you seek.

In this blog, you’ll explore:

Did you know your mouth has the second largest and most diverse microbiome in the body?

These microbes play a vital role, not only in your oral health – but in your overall health. Remember, everything is connected!

When the balance of the microbes in your mouth is disrupted by introducing chemicals like fluoride or heavy metals like mercury, it can lead to serious chronic health conditions. Many of us have been subjected to these substances because of traditional dentistry.

So, how can you optimize oral hygiene and avoid disrupting the balance of your microbiome?

That's where biological dentistry comes in!

I got to chat with world-leading biological dentist and ceramic implant specialist Dr. Dominik Nischwitz (aka Dr. Dome) in my latest Wholistic Wisdom Live episode. In his book, It’s All In Your Mouth, Dr. Dome challenges conventional dentistry and offers valuable insights for integrating natural dental hygiene into whole body health.

I'm so excited to share the best parts of o...

Are you aware of the health risks associated with hormonal birth control? Over 100 million women worldwide use hormonal contraceptives, so you or someone you’re close to may be using it. It’s often handed out like candy to young girls who aren’t properly educated on the potential side effects and long-term health implications.

It’s always important for women to have a choice when it comes to contraception, but it should be a fully informed choice. You may find after further research, that the risks outweigh the benefits and alternative approaches to pregnancy prevention and hormone health should be explored.

This blog is designed to inform you of the health risks of using hormonal birth control and the ways you can balance your hormones naturally with diet, natural alternative treatments, and self-care.

Why Is It So Widely Prescribed For Reasons Other Than Pregnancy Prevention?

“The pill” and other hormonal delivery methods such as the IUD and implant are cleverly marketed as...

Aligning Body, Mind, and Soul with Elena Bensonoff

Hello and welcome to the Wholistic Living Podcast, Be The Hero Of Your Health series. My name is Elena Bensonoff. The purpose of this series is to help empower you to take charge of your health, especially when it comes to the foods you nourish your body with.

Today we are going to talk about intermittent fasting - a nutritional strategy I enjoy as part of my own healthy lifestyle. We are going to take a look at how our eating habits have drifted away from listening to what our body needs because of big companies telling us when and how much we should eat. Then we will explore how you can take back your power, nourish yourself, and enjoy healthy foods with intermittent fasting. I’ll also be sharing a host of research-backed benefits of intermittent fasting that will help you transform your health.

I am not speaking about the realistic fears such as being under physical attack, being chased by a terrifying tiger, living and experiencing a state of war, or dealing with a life-threatening illness. I would like to focus our attention on fears that we create in our minds that are based on our imagination, perceptions, and interpretations.

Most of the time we become slaves to our thoughts and project fear into our reality. Fear can lead to many debilitating physical and mental imbalances such as paranoia, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, jealousy, chronic stress, and eventually burnout.

In this blog, I will cover ways to break free from fear-based living and how you can experience more peace in just three weeks!

There is a quick-fix weight loss craze sweeping the globe. Originally developed as a prescription for asthma, the drug Ozempic is used primarily to treat Type 2 diabetes. Recently, Ozempic has been praised as the “ultimate weight loss solution.”

This prescription medication and similar drugs like Wegovy are all the rage right now, with celebrities like the Kardashians and Elon Musk promoting them for shedding pounds fast. Some people are spending over $1000 a month to ensure their access to this “miracle drug.”

Our society craves shortcut solutions (often served up with a glowing influencer endorsement!) without thinking about future consequences. Take the Fen-Phen frenzy in the ’90s as an example - lots of hype followed by considerable fallout and irreversible health damage. That’s why I feel compelled to share information about the possible risks and long-term effects of Ozempic.

In this blog, you’ll discover why Ozempic “works” for weight loss, some of the dangerous health risks ...

The ancient Indian philosophy offers profound insights into the nature of consciousness and human existence. Central to this philosophy is the concept of the Thousand Petal Notion, representing the highest level of consciousness achievable by individuals.

In this blog, we will delve into the essence of this notion, explore the path to its attainment, and gain an understanding of the transformative experiences one encounters when self-realized.
