I’m still going through information gathered from the Weston A Price conference last month. Weston A Price is an incredible resource for information and locating healthy local food, and the best of the best in science as it relates to health and healthy food.
I’m going to drop some resources here, and really suggest considering a membership (40$ per year, which includes a quarterly journal with unsurpassed well cited articles). It is well worth the annual membership. (BELOW)
WAPF has also kindly put (on their website) links to several speakers from the conference: ( BELOW)
Robert F Kennedy from the Children’s Health Defense
Dell Bigtree and “The Colossal Blunder” (a riveting presentation you absolutely must watch
David Martin ( Weaponization of the c0r0navirus: When nature is conscripted to harm )
WAPF has local chapters that can help you find locally sourced nutrient dense food in your area. You can find information about them on their website.
Here are two companies that also ship Grass fed/ pasture raised, regeneratively sourced meats (if no local option exists for you):
Force of Nature: https://forceofnature.com/collections/all
Burgundy Pasture Beef: https://burgundypasturebeef.com/
Health comes at a price. You can pay the farmer, or you can pay the pharmacist. It’s our choice to make.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness❤🙏🇺🇸…. my thoughts on these jab mandates. 1. A mandate is not a law no matter how it is worded. Do some digging if you don’t believe me. 2. If you feel backed into a corner by your employer, get (in writing) their commitment to you and your family that they will take care of both you and your family physically and financially if something goes terribly wrong. (Visit https://openvaers.com/ if you believe the jabs are safe. Currently, over 1.7 million people in the USA would say differently based on personal experience) Should they fail to honor that in writing, understand that if you are unable to work because of any after effects, nobody will compensate for damages. The vaccine companies have zero financial liability thanks to an obscene law instated in 1986. No other industry has this kind of immunity / protection if injury results. 3. Find another job. Small businesses are hiring everywhere. Get creative and start a business yourself. God has blessed every single one of us with gifts to use. I’ve been watching peoples side businesses evolve into full time ventures especially now. God is in the details. I speak from personal experience on this and would be happy to share. Faith in God’s hand is key… if you walk outside His presence, I imagine it ( anything really) would be very difficult. 4. If you are in Texas, call Abbott’s hotline. https://texasscorecard.com/…/abbotts-answer-to-vaccine…/ This phone line (number in the link) should be ringing nonstop right now. 5. Health insurance. Yes, I know. I’m not disagreeing its importance, especially when it comes to a critical care situation. I also know that insurance premiums are insane and rarely cover treatments or things outside of western 💊 medicine. Heck, they often don’t even cover that without jumping thru a dozen hoops. Look into alternatives that are more affordable like health shares or critical care only and then invest in truly taking care of yourself by spending money on quality food, supplements, gym time etc. The healthiest people i know (and I know many) are those who have chosen to live outside a Big Pharma lifestyle. Vibrant health does in fact exist, and it’s a beautiful thing, but it does require work. You can pay the farmer 👩🌾 or pay the pharmacist 👨🔬, but either way, we will all pay one of them eventually. I had a conversation with one of my coaching clients earlier this week and my heart is so full having helped him successfully turn his health around. He has taken control of his health and is now almost completely off of all medications. It takes a village (I’m not the only one involved in his journey) and a desire to change, but it certainly can be done! 6. Rolling over and “doing the thing” is not the solution especially if you already know the truth. God has gifted you with discernment and hopefully you’ve been using it thusfar. He gave you that discernment. Don’t disregard the Holy Spirit’s prompting. It is a gift everyone receives for a reason, and God asks us to step out in faith. Discernment is like a muscle….. the more you use it, the stronger it gets. “Go along to get along” cripples discernment. Besides, receiving the jab to ensure a paycheck would be like applying duct tape to a leaky tire….. a very short term solution. Nothing created by man will ever surpass God’s creation of our immune system. If we had to rely on man to be healthy, humanity would have been extinct eons ago. We were all created for a time such as this. We have the tools. If you are lacking the like minded community, message me. There is plenty of room at our table. xoxo~ liz PS: smart foster kitty knows her preferred reading materials.

Vagal Nerve – part 1
A policeman is on the trail of a very successful serial robber. Using the clues🔎 left behind at each crime scene, he finally identifies the robber and apprehends him. The only problem is that the robberies don’t stop, and they look strikingly similar to the original set of robberies. Now the policeman believes one of two things…… a copycat thief has emerged, or the original robber was actually working under the direction of a kingpin, and he was only one of the minions leaving the clues 🔎behind at each crime scene. The original robber isn’t talking, so the policeman must continue his investigation.
👆Sometimes that’s exactly what being a health detective can feel like!
Every body system affects the others, and clues that are viewed as “the problem” may be just one identifiable member affecting the health “crime scene”. Or perhaps, like the copycat robber, the clue (ex: anxiety) has more than one root cause to identify and correct.
Chronic stress may have seemed rather innocent until the truth of its ability to damage the body was unpacked in the last topic discussion. It is a kingpin. Another kingpin in the body is the state of health of the vagus nerve and there are a myriad of clues associated with this VIP portion of the nervous system.
The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve, extending from the brainstem to the colon. It is responsible for the “rest and digest” activity of the heart, lungs, and digestive tract, with quite a few additional responsibilities added in for good measure. Some of its major contributing functions include:
⭐️Regulation of appetite
⭐️Control of bowel movements
⭐️Regulating heart rhythm
⭐️Stimulating gastric juice production
⭐️Regulating sweating
⭐️Regulating breathing
⭐️Controlling inflammation response
⭐️Encouraging testosterone production
⭐️Stimulating growth hormone (In adults, this is important for retaining muscle mass, strength, prevention of osteoporosis, concentration, preventing memory loss, and even slowing balding)
⭐️Regulating mood and emotions
⭐️Promoting healthy kidney and bladder function
⭐️Lowering and controlling blood sugar concentrations
⭐️Triggering the release of melatonin
⭐️Stimulating the body’s relaxation response allowing a more rapid recovery from stress, injury, or illness
⭐️Encouraging the storage of strong memories in the amygdala (which is essential for bonding and connecting with others relationally)
The vagus nerve also sends sensory information (on what we see, feel, taste, and hear) to the brain, and is intimately involved as a courier of information allowing the microbiome (the gut bacteria) to directly communicate with the brain. You might have heard of this referred to as the gut brain axis. This is extremely important because many of our neurotransmitters (especially serotonin and oxytocin…. two that contribute to the state of happiness) are directly affected by this feedback.
Having a low or poor vagal tone has a profound effect on the body. Clues pointing to possible vagus nerve dysfunction include:
🔎IBS, Ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s Disease
🔎Obesity, weight gain or weight loss
🔎Chronic fatigue
🔎Depression
🔎Irregular heartbeat (both too fast or too slow)
🔎Stomach ulcers
🔎Chronic inflammation
🔎Gastroparesis (slowed movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine)
🔎Difficulty speaking, hoarse, or wheezy voice
🔎Pain in the ear
🔎Unusual heart rate
🔎Loss of gag reflex
🔎Chronic abdominal bloating or pain, nausea or vomiting
🔎Anxiety
🔎Brain fog
🔎Dizziness
🔎Frequent headaches / migraines
🔎Insomnia
🔎Frequent urination
🔎Poor glucose control
🔎Food sensitivities
🔎Chronic feelings of disconnectedness or loneliness (Interesting, right? )
Common Causes of vagus nerve damage include:
🔥Chronic alcohol abuse
🔥Chronic stress / anxiety (Please revisit the information on ways to combat stress effectively!)
🔥Braces or extensive dental work (Revisit the post on the effect teeth have on the entire body)
🔥Posture (Revisit the clues related to posture.)
🔥Complications resulting from surgeries (especially those affecting the small intestine or stomach)
🔥Viral infections which are upper respiratory system focused
🔥Aging
🔥Botox injections
🔥Heavy metal toxicity (Heavy metals can be found in tooth fillings, vaccines, environmental contaminants, and even makeup. Young Living’s Savvy Minerals is a safe, beautiful and clean alternative! )
🔥Certain medications that affect the nervous system, including opioids, stimulants (ex: ADHD medications), immunosuppressants, sedatives, and many other prescription and OTC drugs. This is one more reason to identify and incorporate lifestyle changes whenever possible to avoid chronic drug use. Every single medication exerts a negative effect outside its intended target.
The vagus nerve is a key player in living a life of resiliency.🙌 It will come as no surprise that people with high vagal tone have lower incidence of diabetes, strokes, and cardiovascular diseases. They also tend to find it easier to relax😴 after stressful situations, are physiologically 💪stronger, happier, more empathetic, better able to concentrate and remember, and are more likely to have close relationships with others👫. Vagal tone is kind of a big deal! Luckily for all of us, there are some really fun and practical ways to show the vagus nerve a little extra TLC on the regular.
Test your gag reflex sometime soon. (Use a spoon handle and gently tickle the back of the throat on both sides. If you don’t have a gag response to the spoon handle, you’ve got some work to do😉!).
Next week I’ll cover simple ways to incorporate vagal TLC techniques into daily life. It’s important to keep the vagal nerve happy and healthy!

VAERS data help
With the above link, you’ll get regular updates to all the important numbers sent right to your email box. It takes the confusion out of ….”how do I find the pertinent information regarding the number of adverse events and deaths directly attributed to a certain poke which shall remain nameless. Just as a reminder, a Harvard study several years back found that VAERS was highly underutilized by healthcare professionals (many of whom are not even aware of its existence) in terms of reporting adverse events. Based on that study, true numbers have to be extrapolated…… the estimates are that only 1-10% are actually reported, so the numbers in each area will need to be multiplied by anywhere from 10 to 100 to get a better idea of actuality. I tend to split the difference, and multiply everything I see by 50 so I’m not over or underestimating the damage being done…… although, even if I don’t multiply the existing numbers by anything, the numbers as they stand are still mind numbing.
Below is an article with hundreds of cardiac events…..
Christmas Scent Diffuser Blends
Years ago, (before I knew better), I’d stock up on all the Christmas candles and plug ins from Baths and Bodyworks when they went on sale. Ugh…😬😳…. but I just didn’t know any better.
Once you know, you can’t unknow.
Here are some excellent Christmas scent diffuser blends to make your season scent filled in healthy ways! Just like cars, food (and even crayons 😉 ), quality matters with essential oils. I won’t give you the pharmacist science-y reasons here, but I’d be happy to share what I know with anyone who wants to chat sometime….. #iykyk !
Simple changes can make profound impacts on life, both now and for our future selves.
Merry Christmas month friends!
