Empowering Self-Reliance and Sustainable Living & Microbiomes
Hey, I am not a scientist, but I do carry a kind of lived understanding that comes from watching the body closely over time. So when I read that inflammation is now being brought forward as a possible cause of heart disease, presented almost like a new discovery, I pause. …
We are excited to announce we are opening a small group Live Blood Analysis immersion workshop here at Living Ground in southern Ecuador. This is an experience where people come to learn how to observe their own blood in real time, understand what they are seeing, and begin to make …
Understanding what is happening inside the body during chronic illness is both a scientific question and a deeply personal one. Modern medicine often relies heavily on laboratory data to tell the story. Blood tests measure enzymes, hormones, minerals, immune markers, and metabolic byproducts. Imaging technologies reveal structures inside tissues. Genetic …
We talk about “B vitamins” as if they are a single substance you can swallow, measure, or fix with a pill, but in the body they behave more like a living network. Vitamin B is never just one thing, and that is where the misunderstanding usually begins. They are a …
Since the pandemic era swept through the world, I’ve been receiving an increasing number of messages with links, images, and shaky videos showing blood samples, most accompanied by ominous claims about nanotechnology infiltrating our biology. Some of these claims come from online influencers, Substack writers, or self-declared researchers. And each …
Iron is one of the most paradoxical minerals in the human body. When I sit with clients and look at their live blood on the screen, and I see codocytes, ghost cells, tiny microcytes or other stressed red blood cells, I do not just think “you need more iron.” I …
Zeta potential is a critical yet often overlooked factor in human health, playing a pivotal role in maintaining proper blood viscosity and cellular function. When zeta potential is compromised, it can lead to a condition known as blood sludge, where blood cells begin to clump together, significantly altering the body’s …
Picture this: you’re sitting at your kitchen table, a small microscope in front of you. With a tiny prick of your finger, you place a drop of blood on a slide and peer through the lens. Suddenly, you’re transported into a mesmerizing world of swirling cells, each one telling a …
One thing I have learned in my life is to question everything? Things are not always as they seem! For one to know or hold truth, one has to wade through a sea of lies. As a Live Blood Analyst and a Soil Microbiologist, I’ve had the pleasure and …
Oxygen and Oxygenation Many live blood samples I see show the marker “rouleau” which means “stacked coin” in French. The red blood cells literally stack up like coins. While this marker is better than having Red Blood Cell Aggregation, it still is concerning and I call this “sticky blood” …
