Episode 122: The Silent Pandemic: Why Antibiotics Are Stopping Working
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is being called the "silent pandemic" by global health experts, but what does that actually mean? In this episode of the Wholistic Living Podcast, we explore why antibiotic-resistant infections are increasing worldwide, how bacteria develop resistance through biofilms and horizontal gene transfer, and why common microbes such as E. coli, Klebsiella, Streptococcus, and Enterococcus are becoming a growing concern. Learn why most colds and flus are viral and do not respond to antibiotics, how repeated antibiotic use can impact the gut microbiome, and what a holistic approach to immune resilience can teach us about preventing infection. We'll discuss the latest antimicrobial resistance statistics, the role of stool testing, and practical ways to support your immune system naturally through nutrition, lifestyle, and gut health.Equip Grass fed protein: www.equipfoods.com/MARLA60 Day Gut Reset ($200 OFF) - https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1716725/checkout/order_52y48hdz?coupon_code=SECRETOFFER

Episode 120: The Missing Enzyme Behind Eczema, Inflammation & Poor Detox
In this episode of Wholistic Living, we dive into the powerful connection between myrosinase, gut health, eczema, inflammation, detoxification, and the microbiome. Learn why cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, kale, arugula, cabbage, and broccoli sprouts may not provide their full benefits if the enzyme myrosinase is lacking or destroyed through cooking and poor gut health. We explore how low myrosinase activity on stool testing may reflect dysbiosis, poor microbial diversity, chronic inflammation, mold exposure, antibiotic damage, sluggish bile flow, and impaired detoxification pathways. Discover how this impacts sulforaphane production, NRF2 activation, glutathione, histamine intolerance, hormone balance, liver detoxification, autoimmune conditions, eczema, psoriasis, and skin inflammation. You’ll also learn practical ways to naturally increase sulforaphane activation, preserve myrosinase in foods, support gut bacteria involved in glucosinolate metabolism, and improve detoxification through nutrition and lifestyle.Topics covered:What myrosinase is and why it mattersLow myrosinase on stool tests explainedSulforaphane, NRF2, and glutathioneEczema, psoriasis, and chronic inflammationGut dysbiosis and detoxificationMold illness and histamine intoleranceHow cooking affects broccoli and cruciferous vegetablesBroccoli sprouts, mustard seed powder, and sulfur-rich foodsHormone balance, estrogen detox, and liver healthIf you struggle with eczema, skin issues, autoimmune symptoms, histamine reactions, poor detoxification, gut problems, or chronic inflammation, this episode is packed with science-backed holistic insights you do not want to miss.Equip Grass fed protein: www.equipfoods.com/MARLAWork with me: https://holisticspring.com/contactInstagram: www.instagram.com/wholistichomeopath

Episode 119: PMOS & Hantavirus - Fear, Hormones & The Real Health Crisis
In this episode of Wholistic Living, we dive deep into the growing epidemic of PCOS and it has been renamed to PMOS — Polymetabolic Ovarian Syndrome. We unpack what PCOS really is, the major root causes driving it, and why symptoms like acne, weight gain, irregular cycles, infertility, hair loss, anxiety, and blood sugar issues are often signs of deeper metabolic dysfunction rather than simply an “ovary problem.”In this episode, we discuss:• The connection between insulin resistance and hormones• Why inflammation, stress, gut health, toxins, and liver function matter• Common symptoms women should never ignore• Important lab tests to ask your doctor for• Nutrition and lifestyle strategies that support hormone balance• Supplements commonly used to support PCOS naturally• Why birth control is often used as symptom suppression instead of root-cause healingWe also touch on the fear-driven health headlines surrounding hantavirus and discuss why perspective matters when it comes to health risks. While rare viruses make headlines and create panic, hundreds of thousands of people die every year from preventable chronic conditions tied to poor metabolic health, processed food consumption, alcohol, stress, inflammation, and lifestyle-related disease. Heart disease, metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, and chronic inflammatory illness remain some of the biggest threats to modern health... yet they rarely receive the same urgency or attention.This episode is about stepping out of fear, understanding the body holistically, and focusing on the foundational habits that truly build long-term health and resilience.
