they can physically scan the area as you mentioned, but from experience, biliary tract congestion is often not seen in a scan in the early stages. This is where we rely on blood markers and symptoms to help prevent a future problem.

  what is happening exactly? Are you getting any error messages so that I can relay your message and ask the technical support team to look into this for you ASAP.

Hello  – as Daniel already mentioned to you, can you please clarify what symptom(s) you’d like to resolve so we can be more targeted with our recommendations. Are you experiencing dry skin or something else?

With regards to preconception preparation, there are 6 key pillars I usually recommend to my clients who are preparing for pregnancy:

1. Ensuring you’re consuming enough healthy fats, cholesterol, and fat soluble vitamins A, D, E & K. For this we need good liver/gallbladder function and bile flow to emulsify fats and allow us to absorb them. We also need good bile flow to detox toxins through stool. In another post you mentioned struggling with constipation. This should be the first step you address that will help you detox.

2. Detoxing also involves food and environmental factors. Removing all forms of sugar, artificial sweeteners, and limiting the amount of flour products in your diet is a good start. Focusing on my VPF principle as a dietary guideline instead, and ensuring hydration is sufficient with filtered water (no plastic bottles) is also a good foundation.

3. Focus on adrenal/thyroid health and significantly reducing stress; here’s a video on the different sources of stress (physical, emotional, physiological). Adrenal and thyroid stress can lead to miscarriage so this is very important to get tested and address if it’s an issue for you.

4. Begin reducing common sources of inflammation; vegetable oils, hydrogenated oils/trans fats, predominantly non-organic diet, excess starches especially from gluten, grain-fed animal products, hidden infections in the mouth, imbalanced gut flora, imbalanced omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, low intake of antioxidant rich foods, etc. My videos in the “Food Pillar” in the Beginner’s Health Roadmap can help break this down for you into actionable steps.

5. Supporting digestion and mineral absorption (practice eating hygiene and if needed, supplement with stomach acid, enzymes, bile support, etc)

6. Supporting the gut microbiome (fermented foods, probiotics, prebiotics, etc)

Many of these points are discussed in the Beginner’s Health Roadmap, so if you’re looking for a starting place that will cover these and help you get started, I’d recommend you start there with the “Hydration pillar” and the “Food pillar” where I share the 7 ingredients to avoid, so you can start to “detox” your food as well.

I would also encourage you to “detox” your environment, so choosing more organic animal products that are grassfed, pasture-raised, etc, organic produce (which I touch on in the Food Pillar as well), as well as your daily personal care products like toothpaste, soap, etc. I share more about this in the “Air & Skin Pillar” if you need more support with this. A tip that I share in the Air & Skin pillar is to check your product ingredients against the EWG.org skindeep database to make sure it has a low toxicity score.

Ultimately, detoxing your food, your body, and your environment is the overall goal when planning for pregnancy.

And yes, once pregnant, we can also help offer guidance and support here as well.

Please let me know if this helps answer your question

ok keep us posted on what these other docs say about your results and suggested treatment options.

so at least the initial consultation will be covered right?

 I like CellCore’s products in general, but I don’t like that they don’t list the exact dosages of each compound/nutrient so as a practitioner, it makes it difficult to dose properly for the client.

How do you feel since taking them? Are you noticing an improvement? If you’re not noticing any improvements within 1 month of taking them, they are likely not addressing the main issues.

If your detox pathways are blocked and constipation is an issue, I would focus more on liver/gallbladder support to get bile flow moving. 

Let me know if you had a chance to watch the videos I shared above on the causes of constipation and rapid relief solutions, and if you have any other questions.

yes, your diet can absolutely help. There are key nutrients that support thyroid hormone production and conversion, and some compounds you want to avoid.

I recommend you watch the following 3 videos to help with the diet:
• How to protect your thyroid (this highlights the things to avoid)
• Foods for a healthy thyroid
• Supplements for a healthy thyroid

Let me know if these videos help answer your question about diet.

Hi  – from a nutrition standpoint, hair depigmentation can indicate a need for more copper, zinc, B12, biotin, and protein.

Do you consume organ meat like chicken liver for example? You’ll find all of these nutrients in organs.

Have you had these specific nutrients checked before?

Do you have signs of low stomach acid? We need stomach acid to break down our protein.

Let me know.

Hi  – sorry for missing your follow-up question. Thanks for pinging me. No test is perfect and it really depends on what is needed. If the person doesn’t have a strong family history of breast cancer (or cancer), doesn’t have dense breasts, is fit, eats well, and lives a consciously low-tox lifestyle, then thermography can be a great tool to assess trends over time as it looks at the heat distribution in the body.

In Dubai, I can recommend Dr. Sean Penny at Bedaya Polyclinic who offers the AlfaSight 9000 Thermogram machine. You can learn more about it here. It costs ~1,900 Dhs which includes the consultation, and some people can get it reimbursed by their insurance. All depends on your coverage. Hope this helps.

 I believe Ariana replied to you yesterday. My support team does not work on the weekends so thanks for your patience.

Your RBC magnesium is in the Addendum report – first marker on the page.

Yes, prioritize biliary tract health and function. I like to see direct bilirubin below 0.2 mg/dL. This will help keep your microbiome better balanced, since bile is naturally antimicrobial. It will also help with digestion and absorption of fats. It’s a major piece for you that needs support, and will have a number of positive effects downstream.

DAO is a band-aid, but can definitely help in the meantime, if many of your symptoms are histamine related.

Regarding parasites, they are part of our normal microbiome ecosystem. However when given the environment to overgrow or when our defenses are low (like low stomach acid, low immunity) and we acquire them through skin or ingestion, they can easily infect us. Please watch the antiparasitic video and let me know if you have any other questions.

And regarding your message to me on Instagram – don’t worry about disease labels. The body can heal and regenerate itself. Stay the course, support digestion, get rid of the unwanted guests, support the microbiome, and keep on gut healing. 

If you’re needing more 1-1 guidance, please look for a naturopathic doctor to help you through this. You will eventually need medical support to help you wean off of your H2 blockers.

Glad you’re having another session with Ashley… it’s a journey. 

 magnesium citrate is widely available in many brands. Check Amrita to see what is available near you. It comes in powder and capsule form typically. 

as I had mentioned to you before, the level shown on the test result reflects how much you excrete. And you took a chelator which naturally increases excretion of metals because that’s the job of the chelator so it will naturally be higher.

If Dr Sean isn’t covered (he’s functionally trained – not just a homeopath by the way), you can contact Dr Lylia Chub. She’s an integrative MD – meaning she can prescribe meds where necessary and recommend natural options where more appropriate. She also does chelation therapy at her clinic, and her consultation will likely be covered by your insurance. She works at Hope, Health & Happiness. Please keep us posted.

no need to apologise just wanted to point it out because supporting gut immunity is especially important when someone can’t do a cleanse right away.

you’ve been taking gut healing compounds for more than a month and your last result showed no gastritis so a trial is more likely to be favourable. My clients usually start with 400mg mag citrate and adjust by 100mg daily to bowel tolerance. So for example if they don’t achieve a well formed stool the next day, they increase their dose by 100mg until a BM is achieved. If it becomes too loose, that’s a sign they took too much. I have them inform me if they get to 800mg and never to go beyond 1200mg.

Hi  – yes, colostrum is the first milk that comes from mammals. It’s packed with immune and growth factors that help children grow and adults repair their DNA.

Colostrum is backed by tons of research, and its health benefits are wide ranging from healing leaky gut, stimulating collagen production, neutralizing bacteria and viruses to balancing the immune system.

But I do not recommend it to clients who are sensitive to dairy.

SBI Protect by Ortho Molecular Products and Mega IgG2000 by Microbiome Labs are 2 excellent brands of dairy-free immunoglobulin support. I believe I already mentioned this brand to you before.
