Training the Nervous System FROM BIRTH | Sleep Training, Responsive Parenting, & Stress Response

In this episode of the Wholeness Campaign Podcast we share our brutally honest opinion on sleep training, particularly the cry it out method and its proven effects on the nervous system. We are all about emotional regulation here and building a secure attachment from a young age. This is a very controversial topic on the internet right now but I believe it impacts our ability to heal more than we know. Living in a chronic state of stress as babies sets up our nervous system to feel the most comfortable in a state of fight, flight, or freeze and this is the stress that can be so hard to overcome as adults. If you disagree, we can still be friends :) Your body was made to heal if given the right things. Hopefully this video will support your healing process as you troubleshoot your own vision over time! Follow along as we share encouraging testimonies that inspire hope for your healing process and talk about the messy parts of the wholeness journey that many people leave out.

Through hospital visits for Post-Concussive Syndrome, starting GAPS ONE MONTH into marriage, and continuing to choose health over conventional lifestyles, our relationship has been challenged on many fronts.

What do you do when you hit a wall? | Healing from Autoimmunity, Emotional Battles, Belief Systems

In this episode, we share about the mental hurdles we encounter when healing (or really pursuing anything in life!). What happens when you hit a wall? When things don't work the way you thought they would? What happens when you need to push past walls to get to the thing you have been wanting? I see this often in the area of alternative medicine and holistic health, people pursuing something and when it "doesn't work" or you hit a wall, they jump ship into something else. We talk through what it means to persevere in the face of adversity, especially when dealing with complex health issues. But this idea applies to so much more! If you have been detoxing and something has been helping you, drop a comment below so that we can all learn from each other. My hope is that this community can be a place of inspiration for everyone on their own healing journeys.

Detox is often the missing key to a healing journey. It is one thing to nourish your body but another thing to really focus on getting the "crap" or toxins out!

Coming to GAPS // Healing through Food (IBS, migraines, Post-Concussive Syndrome, and MORE!)

The beginning of a healing journey looks different for everybody. The question for me was, how much was I willing to endure before I was willing to change? It took a lot of weeding through denial and slowing down my pace enough to see what was actually going on in my heart and body. There were some key life events along with some super influential people that really sent me down the path of growth. The key 🔑 I believe was DESPERATION. I hope you enjoy my retelling of my nutritional onboarding journey towards health and wholeness.

Wholeness Campaign Podcast Pilot Episode

Welcome to the Wholeness Campaign! In this episode we share the beginning of Eric's healing story from Hashimoto's. We are sharing about the power of slowing down when you are on a physical healing process. Slow living has become a buzz word in our culture but very few really know what it means. Often having children, getting sick, or needing recovery can act as prompts for us to slow down and engage the healing process more authentically. The fast-paced, busy life is not conducive to real healing. Follow along as we share encouraging testimonies that inspire hope for your healing process and talk about the messy parts of the wholeness journey that many people leave out.

Raw Meat vs Cooked Meat: What’s ACTUALLY Better for Gut Health?

Is raw meat actually better than cooked meat for gut health? In this video, I break down the raw vs cooked meat debate through a gut healing lens, explaining how raw meat contains intact enzymes and heat-sensitive nutrients but may be too demanding for those with low stomach acid, poor bile flow, leaky gut, or microbiome imbalance. I share why slow-cooked meat and meat stock can be more supportive in the early stages of healing by improving protein digestion, reducing endotoxin load, and helping repair the gut lining with key amino acids like glycine, proline, and gelatin. This video will help you understand digestive capacity, nutrient absorption, and how to choose the right approach for your body so you can heal your gut, restore your microbiome, and use food as medicine effectively. 1️⃣ QUESTIONS?

Is Diatomaceous Earth Safe for Killing Parasites? (Instructions for Gentle Silica Detox)

Is diatomaceous earth actually a safe and effective parasite cleanse? In this video, I break down what food-grade diatomaceous earth really does in the body, why I don’t recommend using it internally, and what a true root-cause parasite protocol should actually include. From low stomach acid and poor bile flow to heavy metals and microbiome imbalance, parasites are rarely the primary problem — they’re a terrain issue. I also explain how silica in diatomaceous earth interacts with aluminum and heavy metals, why binders can backfire if detox pathways aren’t open, and how I personally prefer to use it in baths instead. If you’re ready to move beyond “killing” protocols and into true microbiome repair, detox support, and nervous system regulation, learn more about my 6-month Whole Health Blueprint below.

Do These 3 Things to START TOLERATING FAT

If fats make you feel nauseous, bloated, exhausted, or trigger reflux, you’ve probably been told to avoid them — but what if that’s actually slowing your healing down? In this weeks video I share why fats are non-negotiable for gut repair, nervous system health, and metabolic resilience, and how poor bile flow (not fat itself) is often the real issue. I walk you through how to therapeutically reintroduce fats when the gallbladder is struggling, how bile supports digestion and microbial balance, and practical ways to rebuild bile flow so you don’t have to avoid fat forever. If you’re dealing with fat intolerance, gallbladder symptoms, histamine flares, or chronic digestive issues, this video will help you understand the root cause and what to do next.
