Send us Fan MailMonique Rodriguez, founder and CEO of Mielle Organics, joins Skin Anarchy to trace her path from labor and delivery nurse to textured hair care leader: bootstrapping through millions in debt, protecting the brand's DNA through the P&G acquisition, surviving a viral moment, and where textured hair innovation goes next.Who is Monique Rodriguez? A former labor and delivery nurse who bet on herself. "I literally built mine from the ground up by bootstrapping."How did she build Mielle as an inclusive brand? By solving for a category, not a demographic. "Textured hair has no specific culture, race, ethnicity... I really wanted to be inclusive of all."What does bootstrapping actually mean? "It means that you're making payroll and you're paying other people before you pay yourself." Mielle ran two to three million dollars in debt.How do you know whether to pivot or push forward? Read the business honestly, not emotionally. "I knew that we were holding on to something special... it was time for me to keep pushing forward."How did she get investors and her team to believe? Data and character. A Berkshire investor backed the founders for their humility and willingness to ask questions. "You can't teach that."How do you choose the right investors? Separate your identity from the company. "You can't have an emotional attachment to the brand if you are wanting to take on investors... it's really the customer's brand."How did Mielle protect its DNA through the P&G acquisition? By putting it in writing. "Yes, we're selling you the company, but the sole DNA of the brand shall not be touched."How should a brand handle going viral? Treat it as exposure, not a foundation. "Having a viral moment can be very powerful, but it's also very temporary."Where is textured hair care headed? Toward wellness and scalp care. "Textured hair will continue to be the majority," with innovation moving to a holistic, education first approach.What advice does she have for founders building beyond a label? Start before you feel ready. "The biggest difference between people who dream and the people who build is that the builders take action."Would she do anything differently? Nothing. "All of the mistakes and bad decisions that we made were all a part of the learning lessons."Listen to the full episode with Monique Rodriguez of Mielle Organics on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Shop Mielle OrganicsDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show
Original Air Date: 07/25/26 Episode Number: 469Episode SummaryA listener question about painting aluminum siding kicks off the show, and Dan splits the answer across two segments with a detour in the middle: a full conversation on how to identify and safely clean biological growth off the exterior of your home -- algae, mold, mildew, moss, and lichen. The aluminum siding answer wraps up at the end with product recommendations and a strong case for always doing two coats. Moss and lichen get their own episode next week.Timestamps[00:00] -- Show Kickoff[00:30] -- Listener Question: Aluminum Siding[01:44] -- Oxidation and Prep Basics[03:58] -- Wash, Scrub, Rinse[05:42] -- Hand Test and Inspection[07:21] -- Primer or Not[08:11] -- Switch to Algae Topic[08:53] -- Brick Recap and What Triggered This[12:20] -- What Growth Is It?[13:32] -- Algae, Moss, Lichen, Mold[16:16] -- Efflorescence Sidebar[17:29] -- Moisture Causes First[19:01] -- Cleaning Safely Tease[20:01] -- Moss vs. Mold Distinction[21:00] -- Golden Rule: Gentle Cleaning[22:47] -- Pick the Right Cleaner[25:50] -- Prep Before Repainting[27:09] -- Hose, Not Pressure Washer[29:53] -- Why Not Straight Bleach[31:22] -- Protect Plants from Runoff[32:41] -- Fix the Moisture Root Cause[33:56] -- Aluminum Siding Paint Picks[34:45] -- Two Coats Really Matters[36:33] -- Best Benjamin Moore Options[38:54] -- Temperature and Wrap UpListener Question: Aluminum Siding [00:30]A listener wrote in asking about painting their tan aluminum-sided house a darker blue. They wanted to know what prep was involved, whether one-coat coverage was possible, and what products to use.Dan splits the answer into two segments. The short version on the one-coat question: two coats, always. The longer version on everything else follows below.Oxidation and Prep Basics [01:44]The single most important thing to understand about painting aluminum siding is oxidation. If you've ever rubbed your hand across older aluminum and ended up with white chalky powder on your palm, that's the original factory finish breaking down from years of sun, rain, and weather. That chalk has to come off before any paint goes on.Paint bonds to a surface. If that surface is a loose layer of chalk sitting on top of old factory finish, the paint is bonding to the chalk -- not to the siding. When the chalk lets go, the new paint goes with it. This is the most common reason aluminum siding paint jobs fail, and it's entirely avoidable.A pressure washer alone won't get you there. It'll knock off dirt and cobwebs, but it doesn't automatically remove oxidation. Dan compares it to washing your car with only a pressure washer after an entire Michigan summer of construction zones and dirt roads -- you'll get some of it, but you won't get all of it.Wash, Scrub, Rinse [03:58]Start with a good exterior house cleaner that's built to break down dirt, grime, mildew, and oxidized residue. Apply it, and then physically scrub the surface -- a soft-bristle siding brush on an extension pole makes this manageable. Work in sections so you can scrub and rinse before the cleaner dries on the siding.You can use a pressure washer for rinsing, but keep the pressure reasonable and always direct the spray downward the way rain would naturally hit the siding. Shooting water upward beneath the panel laps can drive moisture into the wall. The pressure washer is a rinsing and help-with-cleaning tool. The scrubbing still has to happen.Hand Test and Inspection [05:42]Once the siding is dry, perform the hand test: rub your palm firmly across the surface. If it comes away clean, you're good to move on. If there's still a chalky residue on your hand, keep cleaning. The surface doesn't need to be microscopically perfect, but you should not be able to casually wipe your hand across it and look like you've been handling powdered sugar.While you're working your way around the house, inspect as you go. Look for peeling paint, corrosion, bare aluminum, dents, damaged panels, and failed caulk around windows, doors, and penetrations. Bare or corroded areas may need spot priming before finish paint -- bring photos into RepcoLite and they'll point you toward the right primer. Loose paint should be scraped away and edges feather-sanded so they don't telegraph through the new finish.Primer or Not [07:21]If the original factory finish is clean, intact, and firmly bonded, you do not need to prime the whole house. No matter what you read online. A high-quality exterior acrylic straight over a clean, sound factory finish is the right call. Primer is for bare spots and problem areas only.Biological Growth: What Are You Actually Looking At? [12:20]Dan took a walk around his own house after mentioning offhand on last week's show that brick doesn't need much maintenance -- "every now and then you clean the algae off." That comment nagged at him all week until he went and looked. His back wall, under two old maple trees, was covered in green growth on both the brick and the vinyl siding on the addition. This week's middle segment covers what to do about it.Before you clean anything, figure out what you're actually dealing with. The growth type matters, and the surface it's on matters just as much.Algae is the most common. Thin, flat, greenish film, usually on shaded or damp areas. Feels slick when wet. Spreads across the surface rather than growing in clumps.Moss is thicker and softer -- you know what it looks like. It holds moisture against the wall, which creates problems depending on what the wall is made of. On vinyl it's mainly a staining and maintenance issue since vinyl doesn't rot, but on wood siding or shingles it can contribute to paint peeling, decay, and eventually rot. On brick, stucco, or stone it keeps mortar joints and damaged areas wetter longer than they should be.Lichen is crusty and firmly attached -- it can be gray, yellow, pale green, orange, or black. It's the toughest of the group to remove because it grips the surface aggressively. On soft brick or old mortar, scraping it off can pull part of the surface along with it. Lichen on roofs gets its own conversation next week.Mold and mildew tend to appear darker, blotchy, fuzzy, or powdery.Efflorescence -- the white, fuzzy stuff sometimes seen on brick or concrete -- looks biological but isn't. It's salt deposits left behind by moisture moving through the masonry. Address the moisture source; don't just clean it off and move on.Dan is covering algae, mold, and mildew this week. Moss and lichen get their own episode next week, including how to deal with them on the roof.Fix the Moisture Problem First [17:29]Cleaning is not a permanent fix if you don't address why the growth is there. Moisture is the cause of all of it.Before mixing any cleaner, look at what's creating the damp conditions: overflowing gutters, a downspout dumping water next to the wall, a sprinkler hitting the siding, shrubs growing too tight against the house and blocking airflow, mulch or soil piled high against the brick, or heavy shade from tree canopy keeping the wall from drying out. If you clean the wall and leave the moisture problem in place, the growth is going to come back -- sometimes pretty quickly.Cleaning Safely: JoeMax [22:47]Start with the gentlest method that will get the job done. Don't reach for the strongest chemical available or fire up the pressure washer first.Inspect the surface before you do anything. On brick, check the mortar joints -- is it solid or loose and powdery? On siding, look for loose panels, open caulk joints, peeling paint, or damaged edges. The condition of the surface determines how carefully you have to work.Also confirm you're actually dealing with biological growth and not just dirt or pollen. If it's just a surface film of grime, mild dish soap, a scrub brush, and a hose will probably handle it without any specialty product.If it's actual biological growth, the product Dan recommends is JoeMax House Cleaner and Mildew Killer. It's a concentrate that combines a mildewcide, bleach activator, and detergents. You mix it with household bleach and water. It kills mold and mildew and lifts dirt and staining at the same time, and it's rated for virtually every surface on the outside of a house -- vinyl, aluminum, painted or stained wood, trim, fences, stucco, concrete, and brick. One product covers everything. For Dan's situation with both brick and vinyl on the same house, that matters.Using it is straightforward: mix per the label, spray on, give it about five minutes to work, and rinse off. Most smooth surfaces won't need scrubbing. Textured surfaces like brick may need a light scrub. Mix only what you'll use in the next few hours -- once bleach is added, it's only good for a short time and can't be saved.Why Not Just Use Straight Bleach? [29:53]Bleach is not a great cleaner on its own. It beads up and runs off rather than wetting the surface and lifting residue. It also flashes off quickly -- it can lighten a mildew stain and evaporate before it actually kills the growth, so the problem comes right back. JoeMax has detergents that let it wet the surface, carry the contamination away, and stay active long enough to do the job properly.Hose, Not Pressure Washer [27:09]For the actual cleaning, a garden hose with a...

In honor of the start of Black History Month, Dr. Patti Farris and Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd delve into the complexities of hair care for textured hair. They discuss the historical significance of Madam C.J. Walker, the physiological differences in hair types, and the unique hair care routines required for textured hair. The conversation also covers the risks of over-processing, the importance of finding the right stylist, and the challenges of conditions like traction alopecia and CCCA. Additionally, they address recent studies linking hair treatments to cancer, emphasizing the need for careful interpretation of research findings. Takeaways Madam C.J. Walker was a pioneer in hair care marketing.Textured hair has unique physiological characteristics.Washing textured hair should be done every one to two weeks.Heat can cause significant damage to textured hair.Finding a knowledgeable stylist is crucial for hair health.Traction alopecia is a common issue in textured hair.CCCA can be treated effectively if caught early.Shampoo choices should be personalized for textured hair.Recent studies on hair treatments and cancer need careful interpretation.Education on textured hair care is essential for dermatologists.

Today. On WnS Radio. Dionne, Rebecca and I got together with Crystal hesser of @spin_up_girl to discuss all things art and textured yarns. Crystal spins a myriad of art yarns that she often sells in her booths at various fibre events around her area. A prolific spinner, Crystal has written for PLY magazine, as well as other publications, and she teaches how to make these yarns to eager students. Some of the topics we got into today around art and textured yarns are nuanced, multi factorial and affect so much of our creative lives. We discussed why textured yarns are still so mysterious, even with all the information about them out there. Crystal shares with us some tricks and tips to dealing with excess twist, as well as, who comes into her booths looking specifically for these yarns. And lastly, we got into a conversation about swatching. Unlike our conventional yarns, which we talk a lot about using in this community, often textured and art yarns are the end product. When we want to showcase them, it can sometimes feel a bit intimidating, so we started to delve into what this process might look like. Video of Crystal using a Spindle to manage twist in textured yarns hereWe will have Crystal back on the show in the new year to continue this conversation because we clearly ran out of time today!

Dear Spinning Circle,Today. On Wool n' Spinning Radio, Dionne, Rebecca and Rachel attempted to sow dissent and debate the merits of calling those handspun yarns that are not conventionally spun as 'novelty', 'art' or 'textured'. Increasingly, we are seeing people describe their textured or art yarns as what they actually are, be it 'corespun' or 'supercoils' or any other number of yarn structures that we know and celebrate on a regular basis. It's important to celebrate those in our wider handspinning community who have really helped to make these yarns household names by sharing their own practice around them, as well as, teaching others and fostering an environment of learning, exploration and joy around learning these various techniques. Calling our yarns by the structure really helps others to understand what was done to create that yarn since, as others' increase their knowledge, they will be able to recreate their own yarn, using those same techniques and thus, sharing with others.For photos containing examples of textured or art yarns, look at the Patreon post here.This episode of Wool n' Spinning Radio is to celebrate the beginning of our last part of study for our 2-year book study of Sarah Anderson's Book of Yarn Designs. Part IV is dedicated to the chapters in Sarah's book that come under the heading 'Novelty Yarns'. Much of Rebecca's work on The Wool Circle, which is one of the podcasts available when you subscribe on Patreon, will be centred around these yarns beginning now, September 2025 until the end of the year. The syllabus is linked here.Rebecca has been spinning singles in August to get ready for her sampling schedule and I know she is excited to share her plans for the yarns with you as the Fall goes on! She will be starting with corespinning and variations, including super coils. Next, boucle will be explored. From the basic structure to some variations, this is an increasingly common yarn that was previously not really discussed much by knitters and seemed to be for weavers. That trend is changing and it's exciting to see how yarns evolve. Finally, some of the complicated and often very beautiful yarns that have those show-stopping features to them will finish us off: Pigtails, beehives, cocoons, and tailspun.For those who have been wanting to learn those techniques to create those yarns, this is the time to jump into Patreon, join The Wool Circle and begin learning alongside Rebecca. I hope you enjoyed our conversation. If this is your first time tuning into Wool n' Spinning Radio, welcome. This audio podcast is a spin-off from the original podcast available on YouTube at youtube.com/RachelSmith. Rachel has been podcasting since 2014, talking about handspinning and making yarn. Her passion is working with her handspun yarns in projects, both knit and woven. Links to the website, Instagram and more are available in the show notes and at Patreon.com/woolnspinning. *** Thank you for listening!

New York based composer Cassie Wieland first unveiled her ambient songwriting project she calls Vines in 2023. Now she's released a full LP under the name Vines – that record, called I'll be here, is full of atmospheric, textural washes of sound and processed vocals that suggest a story rather than actually telling you one. The live version of Vines includes an unusually-constructed ensemble: Wieland on keyboards, synths, vocoder, and vocals, Adam Holmes on a Sensory Percussion Kit, and Adrianne Munden-Dixon on violin. Vines plays some of these inviting, cinematic song-scapes, in-studio.Set list: 1. Evicted 2. Tired 3. I am my home

From high school denim shenanigans to styling women all over town, Brooke's journey is full of fun, passion, and a whole lot of heart.She's got big news too — Textured Threads is now 100% online with more fun drops to come in June! We talked about what's coming, why now was the time to make the shift, and what it means to build a brand that's rooted in Waco but ready to ship style far and wide.✨ In this episode:— The fashion “rules” Brooke broke and why they mattered— Her favorite moments dressing Waco women— What it's like taking a brick-and-mortar boutique fully online— The story behind those infamous high school jeans— A sneak peek at what's dropping this summerIf you love local business, style with personality, and supporting bold women doing bold things — this episode's for you.

Hey friend! Have you ever wondered what what REALLY goes into having a well styled home - like all those pretty pictures you see on Instagram or Pinterest? Yes...cohesiveness matters. Yes...being in tune with your design style is important. Yes...finding and buying the right things can pull a room together. What's really at the heart of a well styled home? These 5 elements: 1. Proportion/scale/balance: Not too big, not too small. Things that fit and fit appropriately from ground up, wall inward. 2. Textured lighting: Forget the overhead lighting and opt for layered lighting - table lamps and floor lamps that work harmoniously to cast a cozy glow. 3. Layers & texture: intentionality in home design is ensconced in all the layers! 4. Repetition: the goldilocks rule applies here. Not too much repetition and not too little - just enough. The more subtle the repetition of design elements the better! 5. Negative space: even artists and photographers employ the idea of having negative space in their compositions. The same is true in our homes. Negative space allows your home to shine with all of the intentional decisions you've made. Join THE COLLECTIVE Have a question YOU want answered on the show?

This month I am going to be using a prompt list to encourage myself to keep a regular garden journal again. This has been inspired by Inktober which is an art challenge where participants sketch something in ink, every day for the month of October. There is an official list, but I have created my own. I am calling this challenge Inktober in the Garden. Each prompt is just one word related to gardens and gardening and is aimed to get us thinking in different ways about the beauty of our cultivated space. Here is the list:1. Pollinator; 2. Fruit; 3. Scented; 4. Germinate; 5. Wild; 6. Sun; 7. Growth; 8. Mulch; 9. Tendril; 10. Water; 11. Sow; 12. Flower; 13. Soil; 14. Shade; 15. Cultivated; 16. Climbing; 17. Root; 18. Invertebrate; 19. Companion; 20. Textured; 21. Supported; 22. Leaf; 23. Herb; 24. Seed; 25. Insect; 26. Weed; 27. Compost; 28. Tools; 29. Seedling; 30 Pod; 31. Harvest. If you would like to join me, you can use each prompt or just dip into the ones that inspire you the most. I would love to see your pages! If you are on social media you can use the hashtag #inktoberinthegarden or you can email me your pages at bethan@journalingwithnature.com. If you don't have a garden, you can use the prompts to get inspired by your local park or green space. I have created a blog post with this information. You can find it here: Inktober in the Garden. I am also excited to share the news that I have opened my online store! You can find it over on the Journaling With Nature website. -----------------Sign-up for Journaling With Nature's Newsletter to receive news and updates.

In this podcast, we're going to talk about one of the worst protein sources in the world. After having a horrible reaction to some “chicken wings” that I ate, I called to find out what was in them. It turns out they were plant-based chicken wings made with textured vegetable protein. Textured vegetable protein, or textured soy protein, is the worst protein in the world. Soy or cottonseed is used as the “vegetable” to make this protein. Textured vegetable protein was invented in 1960 as a way to use the waste produced from seed oils. It has been used in veggie burgers, fake meat products, cereals, and many other food products. Textured vegetable protein is an ultra-processed ingredient. To make it, oil, nutrients, and fiber are removed from the soybean using heat and chemicals like hexane. There are no long-term safety studies or upper limit on hexane established by the FDA. Chronic hexane toxicity is a condition caused by inhaling hexane, so what happens when you ingest it? Over 95% of textured vegetable protein is GMO, and when consumed, it robs nutrients from your liver. It's very similar to soy protein isolates. Any time you consume pure protein without fat, you are creating stress in your body, especially if the protein doesn't contain key nutrients like fat-soluble vitamins A, E, D, and K.

I can't emphasize enough the fact that breast implant illness remains to be a topic that's not often talked about by many, especially in the medical community, despite its several effects. Usually, women undergo explant surgery in an effort to heal their breast implants. Today, we'll be talking about the link between breast implants and cancer and I hope you learn more about breast implant illness as we continue to delve into the symptoms, latest surgical techniques for exploitation, and the recovery process for breast implant illness in my podcast series. Different cancers associated with breast implants associated with anaplastic lymphoma Following the premise that there aren't a lot of research studies about breast implant illness, what many people don't know is that there are different cancers associated with breast implants. One of the kinds of cancer associated with breast implants is anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) which is a rare type of blood cancer. Textured implants have a very rough surface that was meant to help hold the implant in place, but it is supremely irritating to the tissues. This causes a T cell response which can ultimately lead to this lymphoma. There are studies regarding this condition as early as 2008. In fact, there's a study in the Netherlands that was conducted wherein patients had textured implants and they observed that there was a development of lymphoma. This was further supported by more diagnoses in the United States where cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma were recorded yearly. There's a new entity called breast implant associated squamous cell carcinoma (BIA-SCC) which has been found as a very rare tumor that may appear in the capsule around the breast implants. There is limited data on this but medical organizations and institutions are pushing for increased clinical awareness and more evidence-based studies regarding this. From our previous episodes, we've talked about the correlation of inflammation and breast implant illness. Inflammation fundamentally and directly causes or triggers the development of these other cancers associated with breast implants. Are you on a journey to healing and wellness but unsure of where to turn? Look no further than Dr. Rob's Solutions. Textured implants are becoming a problem which is why many markets have stopped the production of textured devices. In Europe, the US and even other countries, they have already limited the usage of textured devices. The traditional way of using smooth round implants in performing breast augmentation remains to be the best recommendation. If you're overwhelmed or unsure in your journey to healing and wellness, look no further – Dr. Rob's Solutions is here. We fully understand the unique challenges that come with breast implant illness. We offer a wide range of products and services from the highest grade supplements to comprehensive lab testing to aid you in your journey to recovery. Our supplements are specially formulated to support detoxification while our medical grade skincare products are designed to nourish and protect the skin. We also offer comprehensive lab testing to help identify any underlying health issues that may be contributing to your symptoms. And for those who are ready and planning to undergo an explant surgery, we have the Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program (HARP) if you're interested.

Trust the experts at Dr. Rob's Solutions to provide you with the resources and support you need to take control of your health and wellness. How do we safely evaluate and monitor these patients as part of our practice? First things first, we look for any pre-existing conditions like autoimmune disorders or anything that would affect the immune system and aggravate the current condition of the individual. If someone has a pre-existing cancer condition, we have to closely look at that. But breast cancers are different from lymphomas and as of date, we haven't seen nor recorded any case of such. From my experience with lymphoma, it's safe to conclude that it's really necessary to provide intense care for the patient. Many devices have a rupture rate that increases over time but thankfully, the devices produced now have more longevity. We have to safely evaluate and monitor these patients. And as part of my oncology practice and cosmetic practice, I always encourage patients to do follow-up care involving regular medical checkups whether a few weeks or months after as a routine. If we needed ultrasound or whatever test was necessary, we'd use that to better characterize both the health of the patient and device. From a structural standpoint, we want to know that it's intact. And so, everything becomes challenging not just for the providers but also for the clients who want to have these procedures done for whatever purpose. Like what I always say, there has to be a clear discussion and review of relevant information such as their health history, their family's health history, and other potential correlations between the development of these cancers or breast cancer for that matter. Personally, I make use of functional genetics in crafting individualized plans for our patients and I suggest that we should leverage genetics whenever possible. And I hope that in the future, that is the way we'll be able to address and evaluate potential risks for these cancers developing in patients and put everybody in the best possible position for success.

He set up his own practice in 2017. Here, he offers the men and women of Austin a full range of cosmetic procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, addressing the full array of breast, body and face. Born and bred in Las Vegas, Austin plastic surgeon Dr. Whitfield received his medical degree from the University of Las Vegas School of Medicine. This was followed by six years of surgical training, as well as his plastic surgery residency at Indiana University Medical Center. He returned to Nevada for a one year microsurgery fellowship before settling down to practice and teach at the Medical College of Wisconsin for seven years. Board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Whitfield's approach to medicine has really been shaped by both his upbringing and his education. As a child of the “wild west,” he was born with an adventurous spirit. One of the reasons that he was drawn to plastic surgery is the constant innovation. In the field of plastic surgery, with innovative techniques and technologies developed each year, there are simply issues for which a solution has yet to be invented. Dr. Whitfield tempers his intrepid attitude with Midwestern pragmatism. It makes for a pretty winning combination.

HT1840 - Textured Paper One of the reasons I like folios, chapbooks, and other handheld photographic media is because of the tactile sense of texture that can come through with certain papers. But tactile texture is not the only texture: we can also have visual texture, which is often the only texture that can be realized in a framed print on the wall.

I'm not against the vegan diet. But there are some key tips to follow if you're trying to do keto as a vegan. A vegan diet can still be an unhealthy diet. It's crucial to ensure you're getting the nutrients you need no matter what diet you're on. Some of the top things to avoid if you're vegan are: • Textured vegetable protein • Soy protein isolates • Fake meat • High-fructose corn syrup • Gluten Certain nutrients are easy to get on a vegan diet. But, it's difficult to get vitamin B12, selenium, iron, zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin D if you eat a vegan diet. It's also difficult to get omega-3 fatty acids and amino acids if you're vegan. If you're going to do a vegan version of the ketogenic diet, you need to go beyond just lowering your carbs and consuming high amounts of fat and a moderate amount of protein. You also really need to focus on getting the nutrients you need. If you're going to consume grains, you want to consume grains that are gluten-free, including: • Oats • Quinoa • Millet • Teff • Buckwheat You can also consume products made with almond flour. But keep in mind that when you consume grains, nuts, or legumes, you need to germinate them first to get rid of anti-nutrients. Top vegan, keto-friendly foods to include in your diet: • Nutritional yeast (non-fortified) • Sauerkraut (raw version) • Raw wheatgrass juice powder • Spirulina • Seaweed or sea kelp • Extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, or red palm oil • Carrots • Squash • Bell peppers • Leafy greens • Nuts • Hummus • Avocados You may also want to take taurine, an important amino acid, as a supplement to help avoid issues ranging from anxiety to gallstones.

Tinnitus is ringing in the ears, and it can drive a person crazy. Today I want to cover some tips to get rid of tinnitus naturally. Tinnitus is a little bit mysterious and hasn't been fully figured out. Typical treatments for tinnitus are medications called Gabapentin and Klonopin. These two medications both have a mechanism to increase GABA in the brain. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter and slows down the central nervous system. An interesting study shows that people with tinnitus may have lowered GABA and upregulated glutamate. Glutamate stimulates the brain. The problem with GABA supplements is that they don't cross the blood-brain barrier. This means they will have a difficult time penetrating into the brain to create any effect. However, an amino acid called taurine turns into GABA and can pass the blood-brain barrier. Just be sure to take taurine on an empty stomach. In addition to increasing GABA, it's essential to inhibit glutamate. MSG and aspartame are high in glutamate, so it's important to avoid foods containing these ingredients. Other sources of glutamate to avoid: • Hydrolyzed protein • Calcium caseinate • Yeast extract • Textured protein • Whey protein • Soy protein isolates • Soy sauce DATA: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://www.tinnitusformula.com/libra... https://www.truthinlabeling.org/names... https://www.lifeextension.com/magazin...
