Greetings Celerians,
This afternoon, I spent time reading all of the cards and letters I received from you during my difficult journey. Every time I read them, I am touched, and I cherish the beautiful gifts and flowers I received. As I pray over all the cards each week, I ask God to bless all of you, for blessing me.
Read MoreThe doctor said, “When it’s time to get the cataracts removed, you’ll know it.” And in July of 2022, she knew it.
Read MoreAs I’ve been busy focusing on my parents’ health problems — dad’s hip surgery and mom’s mystery eyesight loss — I might have slightly avoided thinking about my own.
Read MoreI became specifically passionate about clean skincare back in 2013, when I started having health issues and my eyes were opened about the lack of transparency and regulation in the cosmetic and skincare industries.
Read MoreIn these “uncertain and unprecedented times” I think there’s one thing we can all agree on: every time we have a cough, we think it’s Rona coming for us.
Read MoreBleh, meal prep. I hate it all. But, these are some tried and true healthy recipes I’ve been making for years — and I’m confident you’ll love them too!
Read MoreMama Brit just can’t fork out six hundred bucks for a single near-infrared light right now, ya feel me?
I had thought about making my own for awhile, but as per usual, I kept over thinking myself out of it.
Read MoreIt’s quite possible you’ve never been tested for Periodontal Disease, because I wasn’t and I’ve been to 8 dentists. According to the CDC, half of Americans have Periodontal Disease — and unfortunately — I am one of those people.
Read MoreAs we know, I’ve been obsessed with Vitacost for several years and they are celebrating their 25th BIRTHDAY this year! I discovered Vitacost when my health journey began and needed to find all these crazy supplements that I couldn’t find locally — and if I DID find them, they were so expensive!
Read MoreIt’s time for Brit’s annual best of green beauty list! That sounds like I’ve done this for more than one year, but the truth is I’m pathetic and doing ANYTHING regularly, or even annually. But, alas, this is my second best of green beauty post and it’s a belated Christmas miracle if I ever saw one.
Read MoreSmall intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is defined as the presence of an abnormally high number of coliform bacteria in the small bowel. First, make sure you’ve read part 1 of this blog: Understanding Sibo, which goes into understanding the condition, the symptoms, and how to properly diagnose it.
Read MoreTanning, harsh chemicals, toxic beauty products, and Accutane all led me to a horrendous cycle of inflammation, hyper-pigmentation and never ending acne. For about 30 years, apparently I was conducting a little experiment of what happens if you act like a complete idiot and do every. solitary. thing. wrong to your skin.
Read MoreLuckily, there are lots of natural ways to prevent hangovers because even those of us living a clean lifestyle need to kick back a few cocktails from time to time, amiright? Especially if you have health issues and slow detox pathways, even one or two drinks can leave you with a 2 day hangover. So let’s fix that!
Read MoreNow if the girl in the surgeon's office, who talked to me the day before wasn't a complete idiot, I wouldn't have any traumatic memories to recollect for you right now. So I guess, in a way, this blog is dedicated to her.
Read MoreRegardless of the reason you're having a tooth extracted, it needs to be done properly. If you're having it done to get rid of a bad root canal, then you REALLY want to make sure it's done right or you could end up in a bigger mess than you started with.
Read MoreIt's almost like dentists are dying to do root canals. They are dying to keep a dying tooth in your mouth. Just wanted to see how many times I could slip dying in that intro. There's literally a sign hanging up in my Endodontist office that has a list of symptoms for self diagnosis and tells you: ask for a root canal today!
Read MoreHouseplants are muy important for purifying the air in your home, which as most of us are now aware is more toxic than the air outdoors. Have no clue what I'm referring to? Dr. Axe will tell you all about it. One of the easiest ways we can improve air quality in our homes is by having plants around! But I understand your struggle is real. My name is Brit. My heart is green, but my thumb is black.
Read MoreWelcome, welcome all you tired and weary people. If you suspect you have Adrenal Fatigue and haven't had it confirmed, please read my post on the symptoms and How To Diagnose Adrenal Fatigue. You can't properly treat Adrenal Fatigue until you know where you're at.
Read More"I can't have kids, now what?" was one of the top search terms bringing people to Celery and the City. Although I have several posts about my own infertility journey, I have never written directly to those struggling with this question— a question with which I wrestled for a quite sometime. But I am happy to tell you that I am now at a place of complete peace and acceptance.
Read MoreTrust me, it's not scary. It doesn't hurt. It's not just for hangovers. And you're going love it. IV therapy is something that was always on my list of things "to try." I had read about Meyers cocktails throughout my research and it just seemed that IV nutrition was the perfect solution for those with compromised digestion, malabsorption, and chronic illness.
