Do you suffer from heartburn and indigestion?

For years, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Prilosec and Nexium have been the trusted solution, quickly calming symptoms by reducing stomach acid. Doctors practically prescribe them on autopilot, with the global PPI market soaring to over 11 billion dollars in 2023. However, recent studies suggest a major downside to PPI use.

In this blog, I’m breaking down the research information so you can fully inform yourself about the dangers of PPIs. I’m also sharing 3 natural ways to address heartburn and indigestion so you can finally feel empowered to reclaim your digestive health.

Digestive issues are usually a red flag for other imbalances within your body, mind, and soul. Stay tuned! At the end of the blog, I have a free gift to help you start your journey to digestive balance.

Studies Link PPIs to Gastric Cancer

A 2022 study investigated whether prolonged PPI use might increase the risk of gastric cancer....

I recently recorded my third interview with top gastroenterologist, researcher, and clinical trial expert, Dr. Sabine Hazan to discuss the potential consequences of Methylene Blue and how it impacts the microbiome.

Since the pandemic, the number one searched product on the internet has been Methylene Blue. While I was very hesitant at first, I too took it for about 4 months last year. While I did notice improvements initially with brain clarity, it also caused severe GI symptoms. And that's when I reached out to Dr. Sabine and she suggested to test my stool to see what was going on.

What we found, in my case and many others, was that Methylene Blue is killing the bifidobacteria and harming the microbiome. It's important to understand that anything and everything you eat, take, apply, and inject ends up in your gut. And once damaged, it can take at least a year to heal. Whenever a new product takes the world by storm, it's so important to test the microbiome...

 
Today, I want to share something that I keep seeing over and over in my practice...

For both online and in-person appointments, I always encourage patients to bring all the supplements, herbs, vitamins, and foods they ingest on a daily basis. Lately, people have been showing up with HUGE bags for me to test and they all have the same story:

They have been going to medical providers for YEARS, spending thousands of dollars, adding supplement after supplement to their intake list, and their symptoms are getting WORSE.

My most recent case was just prescribed supplements for heavy metals, parasites, and bacteria and NOT ONE of these things were actually found in her system using my Wholistic Quantum Healer™ method of applied kinesiology.

Even worse, the medical provider hadn't even tested her for any of these imbalances... just said it would be "a good idea to take them."

This is a huge red flag!

All the protocols she was...

Today, I want to talk about pollen.

In some places around the world, pollen is out. Everything is blooming, it's springtime, and therefore, a lot of allergies.

Many of you have been reaching out and asking, "Elena, what can I do to prevent from being impacted by pollen and not having irritable eyes, congestion, and cough?" All of which are quite common during pollen season.

Let me explain something...

Pollen is related to mold which is a cousin of candida in your GI tract. Whenever your GI or your microbiome is out of balance, you're going to be a lot more sensitive and reactive to the pollen and to everything that is blooming outside.

If you have noticed that your symptoms keep getting worse with each allergy season, it's not spring that's changed, it's the health of your gut.

I explain in this 1-minute video below...

So, what can be done?

Heal Your Gut to Heal Your Symptoms

To prevent seasonal allergies, it's important that you see a specialist that knows how...

Serotonin is commonly referred to as the "happy hormone."

However, the idea that higher levels of serotonin equals increased happiness is just not true. Recent studies challenge the reputation of this neurotransmitter, revealing a dark side to serotonin's effects.

I’m debunking 5 common myths about serotonin in today’s blog:

1. Serotonin is strictly “the happy hormone”
2. All mood disorders are caused by serotonin deficiency
3. More serotonin means a better mood
4. Serotonin supplements are perfectly safe 
5. Serotonin resides mainly in your brain

It’s time to discover the truth about serotonin so you can step beyond the serotonin stereotype and understand its nuanced role in the body.

Myth 1: Serotonin is Strictly “The Happy Hormone”

Serotonin is a chemical messenger that transmits signals between nerve cells throughout the body. It plays a complex role in your body's functions, impacting sleep, mood, and even behavior. While...

Have you ever wondered why you feel so refreshed and invigorated after a walk in the forest or a visit to the beach?

The answer might lie in the presence of negative ions, often referred to as “nature's mood boosters.” Negative ions are invisible molecules that carry an extra electron, giving them a negative charge.

They are abundant in natural environments, especially places with many trees or moving bodies of water like the ocean, rivers, or waterfalls. Picture it - rushing water hits a solid surface like rocks or sand, knocking loose electrons like tiny sparks. These freed electrons cling to nearby molecules, filling the air with revitalizing negative ions.

While they may be imperceptible to the naked eye, the impact negative ions have on your well-being is profound.

Read on to explore 30 fascinating, science-backed health benefits of negative ions that can support your journey to achieve body, mind, and soul balance. I’m also sharing my favorite ways to boost...

Viruses are tiny, infectious agents that cause disease in humans, animals, and plants. 

Despite their destructive potential, viruses are also incredibly complex and mysterious organisms. 

What if I told you that sacred geometry, the ancient study of patterns and shapes, holds the key to unlocking the secrets of viruses?

A fascinating connection has emerged— one that promises to deepen your understanding of viruses and potentially revolutionize how we can build resiliency against them.

Could it be that viruses are not just mindless pathogens, but rather intelligent creations with a purpose? Could they be here to teach us something about the nature of reality?

These are just some of the questions being raised by new research I’m sharing with you today.

Read on to discover:

• How sacred geometry makes up the building block of viruses
• How science and sacred geometry work together to combat viruses
• How C0V1D-19 can be contained with precision using sacred...

Do you spend much time in your kitchen?

Our most basic survival needs include access to safe water and food.

However, these two essential resources are increasingly under attack. Harmful chemicals are finding their way into our food and water in shocking amounts, posing a serious threat to our health and wellbeing.

To learn about the chilling consequences of allowing harmful chemicals into our food supply, check out my blog post about the real risks of glyphosate.

Now, we face the looming danger of chlormequat chloride (aka Chlormequat E-Pro®, Citadel®, and Cycocel®), a new pesticide that’s eerily similar to glyphosate. It’s being progressively introduced into our food supply despite warning signs of potential health risks.

In this blog, I’m sharing the truth about chlormequat chloride. Read on to learn the science-backed health risks of exposure to this chemical, the disturbing timeline of chlormequat's EPA approval in the U.S. (all driven by a large pesticide company!), and how muscle...

Increasing evidence suggests that gut health may be the key to a happy life!

When your gut is in balance, it sets the stage for a happy mind. More and more people are experiencing this phenomenon for themselves and prioritizing gut health. That’s why probiotic supplements have become a multi-billion dollar industry and #guttock is trending. (1)

It's easy to fall into the trap of believing that a daily probiotic supplement is the ultimate solution to gut health. The truth is, there’s no such thing as a quick fix for gut imbalances. Your entire lifestyle must be considered to sustain long-term digestive health.

We always hear about how gut health affects mental health but what if addressing the mind could help balance the gut?

There’s emerging evidence that meditation can help promote optimal digestive health!

In this blog, I’m sharing highlights from some groundbreaking studies that explore the exciting connection between meditation and gut health....
