CELLCORE BIOSCIENCES PROTOCOL

A hurricane and aftermath living in survival mode, a near divorce, displacement, and a serious health crisis, life as I knew it was gone. I found myself at the deepest and darkest pit of my life, searching for new meaning, and the will to live. From pain and misfortune, I was able to climb back up the ladder of health, using key aspects of my wellness tool-kit, with Cellcore having a huge impact. This protocol literally gave me my life back! 

Foundational Protocol

If you're dealing with low levels of chronic illness, infection, or symptoms that come and go, the foundational protocol is a great place to start. This 4 month, 4 step approach was created to help you touch on the main aspects of health restoration that are foundational for your success. When used in the recommended sequences, it can help get to the root cause of symptoms and optimize your health.

Comprehensive Protocol 

If you're dealing with intense levels of chronic illness (like I was) and are ready to dive all-in, work with your practitioner through the comprehensive protocol. This 10 month, 5 phase approach is designed to go deep into each Phase of the Roadmap to Health as you journey towards complete health restoration. When used in the recommended sequence, it can help address the root causes of what’s holding back your wellness efforts.

ORGANIC MATTERS

My family and I order all of our bulk organic food from here. They sell everything at wholesale prices, and there is a great selection. They source high-quality ingredients and offer them at affordable prices. They believe that eating organic whole foods should not be a privilege only few can afford. I believe that as well! 

Learn more about OMFoods HERE (Canada and USA).

NATURA MARKET

There are a few select organic products that I can only find here. Natura Market is a good place to get hard-to-find gluten-free or traditional foods, for example.

HOME WATER DISTILLER

Distillation is the single most effective process for purifying water. It doesn’t rely upon a filter, and a well-designed water distiller will produce consistently pure water for the life of the machine, which could be well over 30 years. I had a Berkey Filter for years but realized it wasn’t filtering everything. 

You may be asking yourself, “won’t distillation take out the minerals from my water and leave me dehydrated?” No, we get minerals from our food, and the minerals in water are inorganic. Inorganic minerals are without carbon and have never been living. The body treats these minerals like a toxin, which means that they cannot be broken down easily. On the other hand, organic minerals (from food) are living or were once living. They contain carbon and can promote cell life. If you’re looking to protect your family from the more than 95,000 chemicals in use in our society, Pure Water Distillers are the best home water distillers that money can buy. My family and I use their Mini Classic Countertop Water Distiller and we LOVE it!

HOME AIR PURIFIER

After living in the aftermath of a hurricane, we were displaced and lived in government housing for several years. The house was old and the people living there prior to us were smokers. The HVAC heating system had not been properly maintained, and we had to get some mold in the basement wall remediated. To say the least, it was difficult for us to recover from an already compromised nervous system and immune system after the recent traumatic event we’d experienced. 

I developed all sorts of "labels", like Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Depression, trouble breathing and sleeping, coughing, wheezing, and sinusitis (itchy eyes/nose/congestion) - my body took a toll, and my children and husband eventually developed typical mold illness or “sick house syndrome” symptoms as well. We noticed the difference in our health after we spent some time away from our home for a long period of time, and then returned in the fall. We felt well until it got cold and we had to shut our windows and begin using our HVAC heating system - which we suspected was blowing dust and mold spores into our air - as we broke out into serious “sneeze attacks”, sinusitis, coughing, and wheezing again. It was a very frustrating experience, not to mention this occurring during the pandemic and housing crisis. Leaving the environment which was making us ill was easier said than done. 

To heal from mold illness, the first step I always tell my clients is to leave the moldy environment. But now, with lived experience, I know first hand this isn’t always possible right away! 

So what is one to do? The answer is air purification. If you can’t leave or change your immediate environment today, do what you can to improve it. 

We got a quality, industrial HEPA air purifier. This was always something I’d heard my colleagues and experts talk about as the latest biohack, but I’d never had the need for it when we lived in the Caribbean, with a warm breeze of fresh air constantly running through our home. 

Well, now I did and it was INCREDIBLY urgent, and helpful! I kid you not when I say that from the minute we plugged in our new air purifier, I have not experienced any sneezing, sinusitis, coughing, or wheezing, and neither has my family! My husband and I literally looked at each other in disbelief, at how instant the cure for our “dirty” home air was. 

So naturally, after hearing about this purifier, and doing my own hours of in debt research, we invested in an AirDoctor, and never looked back. It was a huge weight off my shoulders, when the urgency of leaving our home was diminished, once we could breathe, sleep and think better again after we purchased this air purifier. I even started being able to work from home again (after a 3-year hiatus), once my symptoms disappeared and my cognitive health improved (hence why I am passionate about sharing this with you)!

It's so important to ensure our family is breathing non-toxic air in the home.

This is the AIR PURIFIER I RECOMMEND (Canada and USA).

Sleep definitely requires a deep dive into lifestyle, but two practices that have been very effective for us, that aren't the regular go-tos, are light therapy and mouth taping (nose breathing), along with a strong emphasis on sleep hygiene (no eating 3 hrs before bed, no blue light at night, cold and dark bedroom, etc). We also use blue-blocking glasses to protect our eyes from the degenerative effects of blue light. See my sleep optimization tools below.

RED LIGHT THERAPY

As part of our “light diet”, we use red light therapy, and also place a huge emphasis on ‘mal-illumination’, meaning not getting enough light in the morning, hindering “happy hormone”(a.k.a serotonin) production, or getting the wrong kind of light at times our body needs to prepare for sleep and secrete “sleep hormone” (a.k.a melatonin). We get full-spectrum light by going outside in the morning (even if it's just eyes getting the light exposure in our snow suites - we’re in Canada)! My family and I have been using the RedRush High Powered Red Therapy Lights from Red Therapy Co for a while now. I’ve grown to love my light therapy practice, as the kids have!

BLUE LIGHT BLOCKING GLASSES

We protect our eyes from blue light with Ra Optics Blue Light Blocking Glasses. Everyone in my family has a pair, or two, and we stand by them as a great tool to improve our overall health and the quality of our sleep. 

Blue light from the sun is healthy and provides the naturally balanced, full-spectrum, whereas digital devices and light bulbs emit a distorted spectrum of light - high in blue and green and deficient in the healing red and infrared light. As a result, it’s important to spend daily time outdoors to absorb the natural blue light, along with the other colors, and block your exposure to artificial blue light, both day and at night. 

This is when wearing these glasses comes in, in order to block the artificial blue light. They improve our health and sleep quality without hindering the style factor, with frames styled by eyewear designers so we can look good while feeling better!

MOUTH TAPING

“Teeth together, lips together, tongue on the roof of your mouth.” This is a little verse that we practice with our kids - and now they are the ones reminding us, "mom, shut your mouth when you're reading!"

There is a reason why grandmothers all over the world would tell children to stand up straight and keep their mouths shut. We were wired to breathe through our noses, especially during sleep!

Mouth taping is one of the secrets to better sleep and a healthier mouth, jaw, brain, and the list goes on. Some of the leading athletic coaches, functional dentists, and orthodontists around the world recommend this practice. After a visit to the dentist, I was told my child needed to work on re-positioning his jaw due to finger sucking for several years. As part of my myofascial research to design a “mouth exercise” routine for my kids, I discovered mouth taping and its many benefits beyond teeth and jaw health.

During sleep, the mouth falls open, the jaw drops, and the tongue falls backwards. This creates an obstacle at the top of the airway that disrupts nose breathing, leading to mouth breathing, open-mouth snoring, nervous system disturbances, and a whole range of problems I won’t expand on too much here. By using these specialized strips, the mouth remains closed during sleep. With the mouth closed, the tongue rests against the roof of the mouth and the jaw does not drop, leaving a clear passage in the respiratory airway for breathing.

Even non-snorers successfully use strips! Mouth taping was a part of my wellness toolkit for recovering from PTSD-induced anxiety attacks, chronic fatigue, and depression. Studies have shown that nose breathing provides many benefits that improve sleep, such as:

• Parasympathetic activation, also known as the relaxation response, which helps sleepers achieve and maintain deep sleep.
• Increased nitric oxide production that improves immunity by killing bacteria in airborne particles and reduces blood pressure by acting as a vasodilator of blood vessels.
• Optimized carbon dioxide-oxygen exchange through its slower, regulated cadence.
• Reduced discomforts caused by mouth breathing such as dry mouth, sore throat, or nasal congestion

When my family and I (children age 5 and up included) first started our mouth taping practice, we used specialized strips with holes (like these ones) until we were comfortable and at ease with the process. I was eventually able to start using more affordable gentle paper adhesive tape for sensitive skin, but until then, we used specially designed strips for mouth taping.

I love THESE STRIPS.

LIVING LIBATIONS ORAL CARE

I don’t choose my personal care products lightly! This applies to what I use on my skin, my hair, and certainly also includes my mouth, especially if I’m going to recommend it to my clients and use it with my children. There is only one word I can use to describe Living Libations oral care products - AMAZING!

After taking a deep dive into essential oil research, and really comparing all sorts of products over the years, I trust this company, and can confidently say that they are 100% what they say they are, and more. The quality of their oral care products is as great as it gets.

Nadine, along with her husband Ron, are the duo behind the magic at Living Libations. She is the author of Holistic Dental Care, The Complete Guide to Healthy Teeth and Gums. Her book is a wonderfully comprehensive guide to natural, do-it-yourself oral care. It introduces simple, at-home dental steps that anyone can do. I read it way back when I met Nadine at a wellness conference. The Living Libations headquarters is based near my hometown in Northern Ontario. 

Along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, Living Libations oral care products will guarantee you a beautiful smile and a healthy mouth.

VITAMIX BLENDER

This is the very first kitchen appliance I bought after nutrition school and moving into my own place. I shipped it from Canada to Venezuela, and then it traveled with me to Trinidad and Tobago, and then later Dominica. Our Vitamix is my family’s most trusted kitchen appliance which we use every single day and multiple times per day for making the best smoothies, soups, nut butters, flours, and much more. A high-performance blender that is totally worth the investment. After 10+ years, our relationship is still going strong!

EXCALIBUR DEHYDRATOR 

For all your dried fruits & vegetables. Make your own raw granola. Dry fruit puree into a fruit roll-up. Great for garden excesses. Even make dry herbs and all-natural pet treats! We love our dehydrator.

I RECOMMEND THIS DEHYDRATOR (Canada and USA). 

CUISINART FOOD PROCESSOR 

A quality food processor that gets the job well done. It minimizes shopping or grating time tremendously, resulting in better productivity in the kitchen. 

YOU CAN GET IT HERE (Canada and USA). 

NUT MILK BAG 

This is what we use to make our fresh coconut milk and other nut milks – we strain the fibres using the bag. I always recommend nut milks from scratch as opposed to processed from the grocery store. You can either make your own with fine mesh, or conveniently purchase one.

SPROUTING JARS

We have many sprouting products, but so far, simple sprouting jars are our favorites for everyday use. They are simple to use and easy to clean. My kids love watching the little seeds magically turn into sprouts. Turn your kitchen into a little greenhouse!

LIVING LIBATIONS

I’ve been a fan of Living Libations products ever since I graduated from nutrition school in 2011. I met Nadine at a conference, and have been following her work ever since. Along with her husband Ron, they are in my neck of the woods, in Haliburton, close to the small town I grew up in Northern Ontario. This is where the Living Libations headquarters is based. 

Whenever I recommend essential oils or beauty products, they are the first that come to mind. Living Libations is what I personally use, and trust to use on my children. Even my husband is a fan! My all-time favourite product is their Best Skin Ever - Seabuckthorn, an all-in-one cleanser, exfoliator, and moisturizer that can be used to, as they say, “grace the face, tempt the nose, and make skin sing from head to toes!”

I’m pretty particular and somewhat neurotic about what I choose to use on my skin, and my little ones. Basically, if I can’t eat it, I won’t use it. The skin is our largest organ, and what we put on it gets absorbed directly into our bloodstream. And this goes for what I put in my hair, what I put in my mouth (their dental products are amazing), and what I recommend to my clients. 

After taking a deep dive into essential oil research, and really comparing all sorts of products over the years, I trust this company, and can confidently say that they are 100% what they say they are, and more. The quality of their beauty care products is as great as it gets. Skin food!

NETWORKING NUTRITIONISTS

I just joined the NEW and improved Networking Nutritionists platform, which has been an immensely valuable tool for me over the years, to network and seek support from my holistic practitioner colleagues. This platform is hosted by fellow Nutritionist Veronica Jean, who was in the same graduating class as me a decade ago, at The Institute of Holistic Nutrition. 

Connecting with a global community of nutrition professionals is so exciting to me! I know I have many nutrition professionals in my circle, so I wanted to be sure I shared about this dynamic, informative, and inspiring group. 

If you'd love to connect further inside Networking Nutritionists, check it out HERE. 

EMR DEVICE

The gift I didn’t know I needed!

After working at a health conference a while back, I was gifted one of these little EMR devices by a colleague. It was the latest biohacking tool. 

Well, let's just say I've bought a few more for our phones and computers, have upgraded several times, and have been using them for almost a decade! As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I can feel the effects of radiation around me. Another reason why I chose to live off-the-grid once upon a time!

Lifetune Device EMR Modulation Technology from Aires Tech is designed to reduce the effects of electromagnetic radiation emitted by data-transmitting electronics, such as cell phone, cordless phones, wireless earpieces, wireless headsets, computers, laptops, monitors, smart TVs, baby monitors, Wi-Fi routers and more.

RED LIGHT THERAPY 

Supermodels, pro sports teams, and top athletes all share a secret weapon: PhotoBioModulation (aka Red Light Therapy). The growing popularity of this therapy has made these devices more affordable for personal use. How does Red Light Therapy work? It's pretty simple actually. It helps your cells do their jobs better! It does this by knocking out stuck nitric oxide in the mitochondria of the cell so oxygen can get back in there and boom, you’ve got increased ATP production = more energy for the cell to do its job.

Think it’s all just hype? Think again! Believe it or not, there are now over 3,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies showing incredible health and anti-aging benefits of red and near-infrared light therapy.

After hours of research, listening to lectures from red light therapy experts, and reading 'The Ultimate Guide To Red Light Therapy' book by Ari Whitten (buy here - USA and Canada), I decided to get one of the red light therapy devices that he recommends, from Red Therapy Co.

We are super happy with our purchase, and it has given my family tremendous health (and aesthetic) benefits, especially through our long, dark, and cold Canadian winters!

We love the classes from OUTSCHOOL.

As homeschoolers/unschoolers we have fun learning about any "subject" our curiosity leads us to explore. This is the freedom of project-based learning.

This month it's ALL ABOUT HORSES.

My daughter just finished a 2-day holiday horse camp at the stables, we just got back from the library with a pile of horse books, we watched a few horse documentaries and there are horse crafts and horse collages laying all around our home.

And for my son, it's DRAGONS!

Kids' classes from horses to dragons or crypto to language, they've got it.

We can complement our home activities with themed classes from this platform.

Although I am super blessed and truly learn SO much from being my children's mentor, what may seem like "useless hamster facts" or "dragonology study" to me, is what lights their eyes up, leads them down deep rabbit holes of curiosity, and cultivates wonder in their life - and ultimately - leads us to so much organic learning!

Check it out. If you sign up here for FREE you get $20 off your kids' first class, which gives me $20 for my kids' classes. Win-win mama!
