My journey with heavy metals and fertility

Sep 14, 2023

In the ever-evolving quest for health and well-being, I've confronted several unexpected challenges, but each obstacle has come with profound insights. Let me take you through a particular chapter of my health journey that reshaped my outlook on wellness.

Mercury, Silver, and the Missing Minerals

It started with a heavy metal test. The results painted a clear picture: elevated levels of mercury and silver, and glaring deficiencies in iodine, manganese, and magnesium. While breastfeeding had its own restrictions, especially with treatments like chelation, taking no action was out of the question. My solution? Integrating chlorella into my regimen and notably reducing my fish intake to manage the mercury levels.

Digestive health updates

The improvements in my digestion have been monumental. There's a newfound lightness and clarity that I had missed for so long. But this balance is delicate. Diverging from certain healthful habits quickly reminds me of the state I once was in. Overeating, late-night meals, a melange of foods in one sitting, mindless munching, ill-timed eating, or simply choosing the wrong foods — any of these can usher back that unwelcome bloating and heavy sensation.

Homeopathy to the rescue

Come June, I was back with my cherished homeopath and naturopath. She had played an instrumental role during my first pregnancy, standing as a beacon of belief in my body's incredible power. To her, I owe the joy of motherhood. Our focus now? The seemingly troubled pancreas. While many navigate through irregular eating habits without a hitch, it became clear that my pancreas needed extra attention. Along with disciplined eating patterns, we ventured into the emotional realm that potentially affected my pancreatic health. Homeopathic treatments began to support the pancreas, complemented by my intake of pancreatic enzymes to further boost digestion.

Embracing Kinesiology

In October, a new adventure began. Eager to enhance my nutrition practice, I embarked on kinesiology courses. The world of kinesiology, though intricate and at times daunting, has been a treasure trove of knowledge. With weekly sessions, I experienced firsthand the wonders of this practice. Combining magnet therapy with kinesiology, we targeted and worked towards eliminating the H.pylori and other gut pathogens.

In every challenge, I've sought to learn, grow, and heal. Through a blend of modern testing, traditional therapies, and the unwavering support of health professionals, I continue on this journey, hopeful and more informed than ever. For those who tread a similar path, remember – every hurdle is a stepping stone towards understanding and nurturing your incredible body.
