How to Minimize your Exposure to Perfluorochemicals (PFCs)

The levels of industrial chemicals detected in groundwater and municipal water supplies are rising at an alarming rate. In particular, perfluorochemicals (PFCs, PFOAs, and PFOSs) are being found. These chemicals are used for making Gore-Tex (waterproof-breathable fabric), rain jackets, carpets, scotch guard fabric protectors, computer chips, fast food wrappers, popcorn bags, foam fire retardants, non-stick […]

The Best Herbs to Cleanse the Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system, the largest circulatory system in the body, has been under-investigated for years, due the difficulty in measuring its flow.

Ayurvedic Intermittent Fasting

by John Douillard on April 14, 2018 | 9 Comments

Ayurvedic Intermittent Fasting

The feast of fall is always followed by the famine of spring. Fall’s harvest is rich in sugars from fruit and starchy carbs from root veggies and grains. The excess fuel from this high-sugar, high-carb diet is stored as fat which the body uses as a source of insulation and energy for the long, cold […]

The Perfect Poop

The Perfect Poop

Some say a classic sign of old age is when we start talking about our poo. I see this as a sign of developing more wisdom with age. A detailed analysis of one’s bowel movement was a diagnostic technique used for thousands of years to determine one’s health status! A few years ago, one of […]

As our culture has become more and more distracted by the overstimulation of our senses, many of us have had to develop a layer of thicker skin.

Candida: Treat the Root Cause with Ayurveda

by John Douillard on April 5, 2018 | 22 Comments

Candida: Treat the Root Cause with Ayurveda

Candida is a naturally-occurring yeast or fungus that inhabits the mouth, gut, vagina, and other mucosal membranes of the body. Ordinarily, it is harmless and exists in balance with the trillions of other bacteria that make your microbiome home. The concerns arise when that balance is disrupted.
