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...

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?

Is it a place you enjoy creating special memories and mouthwatering meals?

Or is it daunting and unfamiliar… leaving you feeling intimidated and lost?

I see it as a wonderful space to explore new talents and flavors, invite people to gather, and practice self-care through conscious cooking and nutrition. This blog post is all about helping you embrace the benefits of cooking at home! I’m sharing 15 reasons home-cooked meals enhance your health in every area: body, mind, and soul.

Plus, I have two free recipes for you from my cookbook, Elena’s Recipes Rx! This cookbook has all the tools you need to accomplish an effective detox at home. The recipes are so delicious, you won’t feel like you’re missing out on anything.

I like to think about health in terms of the whole self because everything is connected. If body, mind, or soul is out of balance, our wellbeing reflects the internal chaos. It is important to...

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...

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...

Welcome to the WHOLISTIC LIVING PODCAST: Episode 42
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.

How Eating Has Changed

It’s time...

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...

Have you ever wondered why you get tired in the evening? Or what causes your body to surge with adrenaline in stressful situations?

Your body is complex and unique just like you!

One of the small but mighty aspects of your anatomy that contributes to these symptoms is the endocrine system. Your body’s endocrine system is a network of glands that release hormones into your bloodstream. Hormones are chemical messengers that tell your organs what to do.

Hormones help regulate:

• Metabolism
• Stress
• Mood
• Energy levels
• Sleep
• Immunity
• Fertility
• Cellular growth and repair

When your body is healthy and balanced, your hormones and organs work together to support you in feeling your best. However, when the endocrine system is thrown out of balance by endocrine disruptors, your body is subject to hormonal dysregulation which results in a variety of challenging symptoms.

Let’s take a closer look at what endocrine disruptors are, the top 5 endocrine disruptors to watch out for, 10 easy...
