Itching, burning, tingling, numbness, sciatica, neuropathy… what happens when sensation begins to shift? In Part 2 of my “Feeling It: The Science of Touch, Nerves & Sensation” series, we explore what altered sensation may reveal about deeper issues involving nerves, circulation, inflammation, metabolism, and immune balance—along with practical strategies to help support restoration and resilience. When sensation changes, the body may be saying more than most people realize.

How does your body detect a feather-light touch… or instantly react to something dangerously hot?

In this first session on The Sense of Touch, we explore the remarkable science behind skin, sensory receptors, peripheral nerves, spinal cord pathways, and brain interpretation—revealing how touch is far more than skin deep.

From fingertips and facial sensitivity to the sensory homunculus and lightning-fast protective reflexes, this presentation uncovers the extraordinary design behind one of our most constant and overlooked sensory systems.

Touch is not passive—it is a sophisticated communication network that protects, informs, and connects us to the world every moment of every day.

In today’s session, I explored what it means when things go wrong with the tongue—whether that shows up as changes in taste, discomfort, dryness, or visible differences in appearance.

These patterns are often not random. They can reflect shifts in nutrient status, nerve function, oral balance, or overall health—and in many cases, they’re early signals worth paying attention to.

This is part of my ongoing Wondrous Five Senses Series, where we’re taking a closer look at each of the senses—what they do, what can go wrong, and how to support them naturally.

One more sense to go—TOUCH—to complete the series.

We often think of eye health as something separate—but the eyes reflect the health of the entire system. In this final session of The Eyes: Much More Than Vision, I walk through the underlying mechanisms that influence vision and the practical steps we can take to support eye health naturally. Understanding why the eyes change gives us powerful tools to protect vision for life.

Glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, floaters — these eye conditions are common, but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored. In this webinar replay, I explain what these conditions are, why they develop, and how to tell what’s part of aging versus what needs attention. Next week, we’ll dive into the most empowering part: nutrients and lifestyle strategies that support eye health and help protect vision.
