While I am a firm believer we should strive for optimal health and living toxic free, I will also stand on the grounds that striving for perfection too much can cause stress and stress is unhealthy.  I think the "crunchy"/ toxic free community is becoming way to harsh and way to strict in everything needing to be perfect, when there is no such thing as perfect.With that being said, we are the gatekeepers of our homes and I believe it is our duty to try to live as clean and healthy as possible.  YES, it is hard, but living an unhealthy life in the future is even harder.  Choose your hard, empower others to live healthier but also give yourself grace that you will never be perfect and thats okay.

Thank you Dr. Gates for joining the show!About Dr. GatesDr. Gates Maier grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana passionate about 2 things, baseball and health, both of which he has a striving passion for today in Grand Rapids, MI. Dr. Gates Maier is a board-certified Doctor of Chiropractic and has always strived to empower his patient's to live life to the fullest by taking back control of their health. After high school Dr. Gates attended Indiana University where he studied Pre-Med and Kinesiology. After his undergraduate Dr. Gates pursued his Doctorate degree in Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA.  From the time he entered school he knew he was going to learn as much as he could to help his patients get back to living their life to the fullest and doing anything and everything they set their hearts on. One principle he lives and practices by is that “the human body doesn't make mistakes” and is capable of healing itself. He saw this most with his wife's health complications including eczema, migraines, chronic fatigue, and asthma – he knew there had to be a way to help other than just the conventional care for such things. Through testing and sticking to the principle of the body's healing capability he was able to help his wife! This extended into taking care of families as well after the birth of his first son which ignited a passion to continue to instill health into the next generation. His goal now is to teach families how to not only set themselves up for success in health and healing, but also how the work each individual places on their health now will feed into their kids and grandkids for generations to come.  Connect with Dr. GatesIG: @thewellnessway_gr and personal @gatesmaier_dctik tok: @twwgrandrapidsWebsite: https://www.thewellnessway.com/clinics/mi/grandrapids/wellness-center/Calendly to schedule an appiointment: https://calendly.com/twwgrandrapidsSponsors: Toxic Free CleaningUse code BROOKE30 to save 30%https://trulyfreehome.comWeNatal Prenatal - Get a FREE Omega DHA+ with a purchase of a WeNatal supplementhttps://wenatal.com/pages/partner?sscid=11k8_l9yzt&Lumebox - Red Light / Infrared Therapy Device Use link below get it about half off ($280 value)https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=1008&discount=brookebacciOrganic Herbal Remedies Use Code BROOKE10 to save 10%https://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/

Gene mutations is becoming a hot topic today, especially the MTHFR gene break.  So many people are living with health issues, such as depression, anxiety, ADD or even addiction, with the very likely possibility that it could be caused by a gene break.  In this week's episode, I am joined by my doctor and friend, Dr. Nick, to chat all about gene mutations.  We dive into the specific gene mutations MTHFR, MTRR, and COMT, why they are important, signs that you may have the break, how to support your body if you have them and more!This is such an educational episode and feel that not only should everyone understand the concept behind gene breaks, but I believe everyone should test for them in their life because you truly don't know what an impact it could be making on your life and how you can easily support your body knowing you have it.A little bit about Dr. Nick:Dr. Nick grew up in Sterling Heights, MI where he received his undergraduate from the University of Detroit Mercy in Biology. Growing up he always knew he wanted to dedicate his life to educating people on what true health and healing really is. While pursuing a masters degree in biomedical sciences at Wayne State University he learned that the United States consumes 60% of the world's drugs yet we rank 37th out of the 39 industrialized countries in terms of the health of the population. There are 25 million pills consumed in every hour of every day. This was a huge eye opener for him! Every class period he was bombarded with these kinds of statistics and complications people could experience if they took these different types of medications. He realized that there is a time and place for drugs and realized that you cannot produce health by taking pills to treat disease because this does not address the core issue and what's really going on, it's simply masking a problem. He wanted to study health and how to create it rather than study disease and how to treat it. This is how he discovered Chiropractic.He then moved to Marietta, GA where he completed his four years in the Doctor of Chiropractic Program at Life University. During his time he was certified in two of the most advanced upper cervical techniques in chiropractic known as the Atlas Orthogonal & the Pierce Results System. These techniques use a cutting edge analysis and technology to deliver chiropractic in a scientific and reproducible manner with none of the twisting, cracking, or popping noises.Connect with Dr. Nick:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theatlasdocFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/NextGenChiropractic/Website - https://www.nextgenchiropractic.net/about-dr-nickContact - (586) 209-4236Sponsors:Toxic Free CleaningUse code BROOKE30 to save 30%https://trulyfreehome.comGrassfed Beef ProteinUse code BROOKEBACCI to save 15%https://equipfoods.com/brookebacciWeNatal Prenatal -Get a FREE Omega DHA+ with a purchase of a WeNatal supplementhttps://wenatal.com/pages/partner?sscid=11k8_l9yzt&Lumebox - Red Light / Infrared Therapy DeviceUse link below get it about half off ($280 value)https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=1008&discount=brookebacciOrganic Herbal RemediesUse Code BROOKE10 to save 10%

If there is one thing you can do for your health this year I would say it would be to ditch tap water. Water is an absolute essential for human beings to survive, from drinking it to bathing in it, yet tap water can be one of the most toxic things for us in the United States.Between the fluoride, glyphosate, atrazine and other pesticides, on top of large amounts of pharmaceuticals including birth control, antibiotics and more, water is NOT the only thing you are consuming when you drink tap water (& most bottled water too).In this weeks episode, I dive into tap water, what's all in it, what to do to avoid it, how to filter it and more.  Sources: EWG - https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/Joe Rogan Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/episode/3DQfcTY4viyXsIXQ89NXvgSponsors: Toxic Free CleaningUse code BROOKE30 to save 30%https://trulyfreehome.comMagic Mind - productivity and energy shotCONSENT20 to save 56% or use link below to save 20% off your first orderhttps://www.magicmind.com/informedconsentWeNatal Prenatal - Get a FREE Omega DHA+ with a purchase of a WeNatal supplementhttps://wenatal.com/pages/partner?sscid=11k8_l9yzt&Lumebox - Red Light / Infrared Therapy Device Use link below get it about half off ($280 value)https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=1008&discount=brookebacciOrganic Herbal Remedies Use Code BROOKE10 to save 10%https://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/

While I do believe that eating good quality foods is so important, it is not always the answer to great health.  In fact - you may be eating some of the best quality foods on the planet (nutritional wise) but it could be a horrible food for your body.Curious what I mean? In this weeks episode, I dive into allergies and intolerance, specifically how the body and the immune system forms an antibody-like response to certain factors (including foods, environmental factors, animals, etc.)It is truly fascinating to keep digging for answers and find a simple answer in the way you feel may be from the foods you eat.Work with The Wellness Way: https://www.thewellnessway.com/clinics(I work with Dr. Gates in Grand Rapids, MI - all virtually)Podcast episode referenced: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/informed-consent/id1591226756?i=1000605309827Sponsors: Toxic Free CleaningUse code BROOKE30 to save 30%https://trulyfreehome.comMagic Mind - productivity and energy shotCONSENT20 to save 56% or use link below to save 20% off your first orderhttps://www.magicmind.com/informedconsentWeNatal Prenatal - Get a FREE Omega DHA+ with a purchase of a WeNatal supplementhttps://wenatal.com/pages/partner?sscid=11k8_l9yzt&Lumebox - Red Light / Infrared Therapy Device Use link below get it about half off ($280 value)https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=1008&discount=brookebacciOrganic Herbal Remedies Use Code BROOKE10 to save 10%https://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/

It is my honor to be joined by Dr. Robert Kiltz this week to chat all about how what you eat impacts your health.  Dr. Kiltz is a renewed fertility doctor who talks about how diet makes a huge impact on your fertility and overall health.  In this episode, we debunk myths about beef and butter, and if they are really to blame for health issues.  We chat about why plants are toxic, the benefits of fasting and even why we should love fat.Be sure to tune in to hear all that Dr. Kiltz has to share and connect with him on his platforms.About Dr. KiltzDr. Kiltz is a renowned fertility doctor featured in The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Parents Magazine, The Today Show, and more for reducing the cost of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to 1/3 the National Average and helping shape the future of reproductive medicine.  Dr. Kiltz is a Diplomat of the AmericanBoard of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Fellowship trained and Board Certified in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.    Dr. Kiltz is the founder, director, and practicing physician at CNY Fertility. He is a previous clinical faculty member at UCSF Medical School and a current clinical faculty member at University of Syracuse Medical School. Dr. Kiltz is a passionate advocate of the ketogenic/carnivore diet for fertility and overall health and wellness. Through decades of clinical practice, hediscovered that infertility (and virtually all otherdiseases we humans suffer from) are caused primarily by the foods we eat and the frequency at which we consume them.    Dr. Kiltz believes that optimal human nutrition is obtained from eating a carnivore diet centered around fatty animal foods. Eating this way provides optimal nutrition while avoiding unhealthy carbohydrates, vegetable oils, and plant toxins. Ideally, this is combined with intermittent feasting, eating one meal a day (OMAD).  This has inspired him to share how eating the B.E.B.B.I.S. diet and evolving one's lifestyle habits can vastly improve fertility and overall health through his keto carnivore support community,  Kiltz Mighty Tribe.    Dr. Kiltz has a prolific blog in the keto carnivore space and has published several different books on a variety of topics including his most recent cookbook collaboration with Maria Emmerich, the Keto for Fertility Cookbook.  He also launched his own line of grass-fed, pasture-raised, nutritional supplements, Doctor Kiltz Nutritional Solutions.   Dr. Kiltz hosts an interview series, Carnivore Conversations, which is broadcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms.  Carnivore Conversations is a radical and enlightening examination of how the keto/carnivore diet can help to improve a wide range of complex health and environmental issues contributed to by the Standard American Diet (SAD).   In addition to his own media channels, Dr. Kiltz appears regularly on numerous popular blogs like DietDoctor.com and social media outlets, has shared his views as a speaker at TEDx, and is a frequent speaker at fertility and dietary conferences.Connect with Dr. Kiltz:https://www.doctorkiltz.comhttps://linktr.ee/doctorkiltzhttps://www.instagram.com/doctorkiltz/Sponsors: WeNatal Prenatal - Get a FREE Omega DHA+ with a purchase of a WeNatal supplementhttps://wenatal.com/pages/partner?sscid=11k8_l9yzt&Toxic Free CleaningUse code BROOKE30 to save 30%https://trulyfreehome.com

All too often, I see and hear so many people actually do MORE damage to themselves by stressing out over every little "healthy" choice that could be made in life. While yes, our world is surrounded by toxins, we aren't fully informed on many things and our foods aren't even close to what they were back then. But, by trying to be too perfect you could be making yourself sicker.In this weeks episode, I give you a permission slip to give yourself grace and learn how to live and let go.  Live by the 80/20 rule, thats what I like to do :) Sponsors: Organic Herbal Remedies & The Sun Shield I mentionedUse Code BROOKE10 to save 10%https://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/All natural women's homeopathic hormone supplement $10 off with linkMenopause - https://modere.co/3XRHVVZMenstrual - https://modere.co/3IkPxKTAmazon Storefront(Book recommendations, wellness supplements and more)https://www.amazon.com/shop/brookebrewer20?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfbrookebrewer20_FCY5VKK29ERGZAXM03T8

For centuries, at the first sign of illness, many parents would immediately turn to castor oil, to naturally boost immune function and speed up healing. Today, castor oil is seen as a "holistic" / "natural-pathic" form of medicine.  In this weeks episode, I discuss all things castor oil and how adding something as simple as an oil like this to your daily routine can make huge impacts on your health.Sources:https://draxe.com/nutrition/castor-oil/https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319844Clean Castor Oil Options:Earthley Wellness - Search  Castor Oil Detox Packhttps://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/ https://www.shopqueenofthethrones.comSponsors: Organic Herbal Remedies & The Sun Shield I mentionedUse Code BROOKE10 to save 10%https://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/All natural women's homeopathic hormone supplement $10 off with linkMenopause - https://modere.co/3XRHVVZMenstrual - https://modere.co/3IkPxKTAmazon Storefront(Book recommendations, wellness supplements and more)https://www.amazon.com/shop/brookebrewer20?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfbrookebrewer20_FCY5VKK29ERGZAXM03T8

Just like the sun, as we discussed last week, salt is something that we are "told" is bad and that we should avoid, when in reality, it can be SO beneficial for our health.This week, I dive into the subject of Salt, and how the right salt can actually be extremely beneficial for you.Just like everything, quality is important. Sources:https://www.survivopedia.com/why-you-should-consume-himalayan-pink-salt/Clean Salt Options:https://redmond.life/https://crucialfour.com/collections/all/products/icelandic-flake-salt?variant=34641935859866Sponsors: Organic Herbal Remedies & The Sun Shield I mentionedUse Code BROOKE10 to save 10%https://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/All natural women's homeopathic hormone supplement $10 off with linkMenopause - https://modere.co/3XRHVVZMenstrual - https://modere.co/3IkPxKTAmazon Storefront(Book recommendations, wellness supplements and more)https://www.amazon.com/shop/brookebrewer20?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfbrookebrewer20_FCY5VKK29ERGZAXM03T8

So many people today are told to fear the sun, for the sun is causing skin cancer and other health related problems. I just have one question for that. How did our ancestors survive without skin cancer rates like we have today, when they were always outside.  As a generation, we are inside the most of anyone, yet we have more skin cancer rates then ever before.When you look at those numbers and consider the history, it is hard to believe the sun is what is harming us.  I truly believe that it is our diet and lifestyle that is impacting our health which is triggering skin cancer.  The foods we eat, the limited antioxidants in our diets and even the toxic sunscreens we use to "protect" us from the sun.In this weeks episode we not only talk all things sun and if we really should fear it, but we also talk about sunscreen and how sunscreen could be what is destroying our health, not the sun!Sources:https://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/report/the-trouble-with-sunscreen-chemicals/https://www.davidwolfe.com/6-dangerous-sunscreen-ingredients/https://www.safecosmetics.org/chemicals/octinoxate/https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredients/702867-HOMOSALATE/https://www.safecosmetics.org/chemicals/parabens/Clean Sunscreen Options:https://wellnessmama.com/beauty/homemade-sunscreen/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BQ351M/ref=as_li_ss_tl?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ascsub&linkCode=sl1&tag=best0b1b-20&linkId=3c7b31a3dcfa2ef658be207e6d66b29ahttps://www.amazon.com/True-Natural-PROTECT-Antioxidant-Sunscreen/dp/B00K3K9Y18/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0&ascsub&linkCode=sl1&tag=best0b1b-20&linkId=59c9b52525d805718d16b6707f96a0c4https://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/best-sunscreens/best-beach-sport-sunscreens/Sponsors: Organic Herbal Remedies & The Sun Shield I mentionedUse Code BROOKE10 to save 10%https://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/All natural women's homeopathic hormone supplement $10 off with linkMenopause - https://modere.co/3XRHVVZMenstrual - https://modere.co/3IkPxKTAmazon Storefront(Book recommendations, wellness supplements and more)https://www.amazon.com/shop/brookebrewer20?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfbrookebrewer20_FCY5VKK29ERGZAXM03T8

It is been a while since I continued through my "Vaccine Conversation Series," and I wanted to jump back in a share about a vaccine that I have not yet covered, and that is the Rhogam Vaccine.This is a immunoglobulin vaccine given to pregnant mothers who have RH- blood types with the risk of what a growing babies possible RH+ blood could do to the mother's future children.As I do in all my vaccine conversation episodes, I am going to share the ingredients, the risks vs. rewards, a lot of information that seems to be left out from doctors, and include many sources below to encourage you to continue researching and asking questions until you come up with a informed decision.For the many that requested this episode, I hope you enjoy!Sources:https://www.fda.gov/media/75013/downloadhttps://www.rhogam.com/pdfs/RhoGAM%20Prescribing%20Information.pdfhttps://www.justtheinserts.com/rhogam/https://vaccinetruth.org/rhogam.htmlhttps://www.fda.gov/drugs/questions-and-answers-fdas-adverse-event-reporting-system-faers/fda-adverse-event-reporting-system-faers-public-dashboardhttps://www.gentlebirth.org/archives/genpcare.html?fbclid=IwAR176hsWrk7eA4nUFO4jOXqngoY20frpn7AerlbcOHctpFP3di161IvyiKY#RhoGAMhttp://www.whale.to/a/rhogam.html?fbclid=IwAR0CQj9jLZ10ah_vtIkwfZVH9dMncwgbbkCeobIgcs5_KOB6_Vdnh2gzpgAhttp://www.wellwithin1.com/rhogam.htm?fbclid=IwAR02eKvlJSubyn-E9YkZGMnYKFJJUq-wF60b5rXsSLMUj7xvUQc-p97JqqkSponsors: Organic Herbal Remedies Use Code BROOKE10 to save 10%https://earthley.com/ref/brookebacci/All natural women's homeopathic hormone supplement $10 off with linkMenopause - https://modere.co/3XRHVVZMenstrual - https://modere.co/3IkPxKTAmazon Storefront(Book recommendations, wellness supplements and more)https://www.amazon.com/shop/brookebrewer20?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfbrookebrewer20_FCY5VKK29ERGZAXM03T8

With the recent release of the movie Sound of Freedom, there is a LOT of conversations being had about the realities of modern day slavery, also known as human trafficking.  Sadly - there are major media outlets bashing this movie claiming its a "Qanon" conspiracy theory, and that couldn't be further from the truth.This week, I want to do what I feel I can do to continue this conversation in hopes of saving lives and ending slavery today.  I want to discuss the truths behind human trafficking and ways you can help.God's children are NOT for sale.Sources: Previous Informed Consent Episode with Hope for Justice:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/informed-consent/id1591226756?i=1000548327645Hope For Justice:https://hopeforjustice.orgOperation Underground Railroad (O.U.R): https://ourrescue.org/Subscribe and hang out with me every Wednesday to stay up to date on this show.  If you enjoy, please share this on your social media and tag me (@brookebacci) and give me a rating/review.

This week, our "informed consent" is moving away from our recent medical topics and turning them towards being informed about yourself.I believe it is important to be informed about yourself, your life, even back into your childhood all the way though understanding why you self-sabatoge.  I am honored to be joined by upcoming author and just overall super inspiring individual, Hunter Charneski, to share his journey of self-mastery with you all.A little bit about Hunter:After twenty-years of perverting the person God created him to be, Hunter stormed into his office on January 22, 2023 and wrote on his blackboard: why do we sabotage ourselves? Wielding words into weapons, Hunter began writing; not stopping till he found the answer—and he did.The answer is Default.Not wanting anyone else to suffer meaninglessly from their own self-sabotage, Hunter grew hellbent on formulating his answer into a story soon to be on a bookshelf near you. Default isn't something that can be treated with a shot, or an antidote, so Hunter took a shot at it with an anecdote. The result was self-mastery—something he wants you to achieve before it's too late.Connect with Hunter:Email List:https://8a8e3752.sibforms.com/serve/MUIFAG6mWSgKDJDSuMnym0Chk48RQoHYfnkWn_83fVvnYK154_VaG5dGYGrwZUrj2AkZonu-bDLaEivAvdlbeCIrvnkNnBUpgcvDeofUbxHXsiDTl-7uQJyTH4LborAH79WCCaixn24ytmmssRAov-ZKYP6uQF9Rr60dFU0w6WpJH_un12C3L5RvOettSsj0eKLWmENt2srGNcC1YouTubehttps://youtube.com/@huntercharneski3779Instagramhttps://instagram.com/hunter_charneski?igshid=NGExMmI2YTkyZg==Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/hunter.charneski?mibextid=ZbWKwLTwitterhttps://twitter.com/HMCharneski?t=SnyEj9fLg6OGtDEJv0gedg&s=09Threadshttps://www.threads.net/@hunter_charneskiLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/huntermichaelcharneskiTikTok@huntercharneskiSubscribe and hang out with me every Wednesday to stay up to date on this show.  If you enjoy, please share this on your social media and tag me (@brookebacci) and give me a rating/review.

I talk about this ALL the time on this show, the importance of gut health and supporting the gut microbiome.Many people who have gut issues could very possibly have a Candida overgrowth.  While Candida is not always a bad thing to have, in fact a study done in 2004 shows over 70% of people have Candida present in their body, it can cause major issues if has overgrowth.  Candida overgrowth has been known to weakens your immune system and affects your ability to properly digest food, among many other issues. Additionally, the Candida cells release waste products, like the neurotoxin acetaldehyde, that can cause symptoms across the rest of your body.In this weeks episode, I dive deep into Candida, what it is, how we get it, how overgrowth happens, symptoms of Candida overgrowth to look out for and even how to treat it.  Be sure to tune in to hear the full show!Subscribe and hang out with me every Wednesday to stay up to date on this show.  If you enjoy, please share this on your social media and tag me (@brookebacci) and give me a rating/review.

Thinking about what I wanted to chat with you all this week, my heart was heavy on the fact that our fallen soldiers, that fought for OUR freedoms, only get "one" day of honor.  One day, that so many see as a day off off work, as a long weekend or as an excuse to BBQ and vacation. In the meantime, we are nearing a month long celebration of "pride."  An entire month is dedicated to pride while only one day is in honor of the men and women who died serving out country.I would rather have a whole month dedicated to the people who have lost their lives fighting for our freedom instead of having a month of celebrating your preference in the bedroom or what gender you "feel" like you are. In this episode, I share my heart and I also share statistics from our fallen soldiers.  May they all rest in peace.Be sure to tune in to hear the full show.Subscribe and hang out with me every Wednesday to stay up to date on this show.  If you enjoy, please share this on your social media and tag me (@brookebacci) and give me a rating/review.
