Empowering Self-Reliance and Sustainable Living & Microbiomes
Articles about live blood microscopy, blood morphology and the patterns that can be observed in a fresh blood sample. These writings connect microscopy with nutrition, digestion, minerals, circulation, hydration and the broader terrain of the body.
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 …
In nature, nothing suddenly collapses without a long chain of shifts that come before it. Forests decline slowly before trees fall. Rivers change direction before they dry. Soil loses life before crops fail. The human body follows the same pattern. When roughly one in three people will face cancer during …
One of the most common things I hear from women moving through menopause is the statement that they no longer have hormones or estrogen. It is usually said with certainty, resignation, and often with the belief that the body has lost something essential and irreversible. This idea is repeated so …
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 …
