First off – mold exposure is way worse than most people are aware of and needs to be taken seriously. A lot of autoimmune issues start with mold/bacteria exposure from water damaged houses even when it’s caused by a leak that got under the floor. Please go to biotoxin.com and read everything on that website …

Everyone on the Lion Diet and figuring out their health should have their micronutrients tested and stool tested at least once at the beginning of your health journey so you have some data. If you do the diet for a while and feel good, then start feeling bad, test again. When you’re suffering from chronic …

Getting off caffeine cold turkey can be extremely unpleasant and cause caffeine withdrawal. If you’re used to drinking coffee or tea all the time, figure out what amount of caffeine you’re consuming. 1 cup of coffee/ 1 espresso = approx. 64mg caffeine, 1 cup of tea = approx. 26mg caffeine. Switch from coffee/espresso/tea to caffeine …
I didn’t drink alcohol for the first 8 months because I was trying to rule out all possible triggers for my autoimmune and mood disorder. I now know I do not react to vodka or bourbon or silver tequila (other than the obvious hangover and potential GABA crash which can impact mood). Any type of spirit that has no ingredients added …
