Natural & integrative wellness

Curious, careful and safety first

Conventional and complementary approaches deserve the same honest questions: Who was studied? What changed? How large was the effect? What could cause harm?

One POTS crossover study summarized

Hydration, sodium & electrolytes

The evidence is condition-specific and small. More is not automatically better, and kidney, heart, blood-pressure, pregnancy and medication considerations matter.

Two observational studies summarized

Sleep & circadian health

Sleep and pain may move in both directions. Observational research can support assessment without proving that sleep caused an illness or that sleep treatment cures it.

Research shelf in progress

Magnesium & micronutrients

Future summaries will separate general deficiency evidence from trials in a specific condition, and will include dose, form, interactions and safety limits.

Research shelf in progress

Movement, conditioning & physical therapy

Future entries will distinguish individualized rehabilitation from generic exercise advice and will name the population actually studied.

Herbal approaches & supplements

No product will be presented as a cure. Every summary must include interactions, contraindications, pregnancy or breastfeeding cautions and evidence gaps.

Research shelf in progress

Breathwork, relaxation, heat & cold

A short-term change in a symptom is not proof that an intervention treats the underlying condition. Safety and condition-specific evidence come first.

Safety standard

Natural does not mean risk-free. Supplements can interact with medications, affect pregnancy or breastfeeding, worsen some conditions, and vary in quality. Nothing here replaces necessary medical care.

The fathers' side of this house. Written for him, in his language — so you can send him something rather than summarize it.

The Village

You don't have to do motherhood alone.

Lissa's side of this house, and where most of it began. If she sent you here, this is what she has been reading.
