Radio Naturopath Episode 510: Better Halloween Candy and Teeth, Day of the Dead, Menorrhagia

This week, of course we had to discuss healthier versions of Halloween candy, and also how to preserve the health of your teeth when indulging in sweets. Hint: drink water, brush your teeth and preserve your enamel! 

I didn't know what sugar skulls were made of, but traditionally, they're made of sugar! Surprise! You can also get edible ones. I talked about the tradition of the sugar skull and generally about Day of the Dead and Halloween. 

We got started with how menorrhagia, excessive menstrual bleeding, is treated conventionally, and next week we'll move on to naturopathic treatments.

Radio Naturopath Episode 488: Electrolytes, Fluroide in Water, ADHD and Sugar, Allergies

This week, I talked a little about how important it is to drink water, especially with electrolytes if you're feeling even a  LITTLE off. Of course, if that doesn't work, and you can't figure out what's going on, it's time to access medical professionals! But electrolytes should be as natural as possible, and no artificial sweeteners like sucralose or acesulfame-K. We also talked about how secretary RFK Jr. is advising to remove fluoride from water supplies, and the state of Utah has done it. Pros and cons! Then we talked about sugar, nutrition and its effects on ADHD. 

Radio Naturopath Episode 473: Happy 2025! Dental Care, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year's Traditions

This week, I did a bit of a companion piece to New Year's Day. We'll get to resolutions in the next weeks, but today I talked about fun New Year's traditions around the word. Eat lentils! Jump into the ocean in white! Jump off the couch! Throw pennies into the ocean! All sorts of stuff. Since it's still Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, I talked about those traditions too. I also talked just WHY I had a great dental visit with no new cavities. HINT: it's my special toothpaste! Listen to find out!

Radio Naturopath Episode 456: Tooth Decay Prevention: Hydroxyapatite vs. Fluoride

This week, it was all about the teeth: hydroxyapatite vs. fluoride toothpaste for your teeth. Which is better? In the end, they both protect teeth from decay, cavities, and sensitivity. But some people don't want to go near fluoride because of possible toxicity. If kids swallow it, it can cause fluorosis and weakening of the teeth and bones. So, is hydroxyapatite just as effective? Listen and find out!
