Optimal Healing Solutions

Hit FOLLOW if you realize everything in your life is quietly trying to make you sick. 😵‍💫

❌ The food is engineered so you cannot stop eating it.
❌ The screens keeping your brain wired past midnight.
❌ The constant low-grade stress that locks your body in survival mode, pumping out cortisol (your main stress hormone) when it should be resting and repairing.
❌ The “harmless” stuff in your water bottle, your cleaning spray, your skincare.

No wonder you are exhausted. No wonder the weight will not budge. No wonder you feel off while your labs still come back “normal.”

✅ Here is what nobody tells you though: you do not have to overhaul your entire life to feel like yourself again.

Change what you put into your body or expose it to, even a little, and it starts to respond differently. That is root-cause health, and it almost always starts with one small, doable change at a time.

That is what I share here. Not another impossible wellness checklist.

Small daily changes that actually move the needle on your energy, your hormones, and your weight, especially through perimenopause and beyond.

Then tell me in the comments: what is the ONE thing you suspect is quietly working against you? Let’s start there.

🍟 My personal standard as a practitioner: if I cannot recognize every ingredient as food, I do not consider it food.

In this case, it is called dimethylpolysiloxane.

It is a silicone-based anti-foaming agent added to the frying oil at Chick-fil-A, McDonald’s, KFC, Five Guys, Domino’s, and dozens of other fast food chains. It keeps the oil from splattering during large-scale frying operations.

It is also the primary ingredient in Silly Putty. And it has been used as a filler in breast implants.

The FDA approved it for use in food in specific dosage limits. But there is no requirement for restaurants to disclose exactly how much is used, which makes adhering to those limits essentially unverifiable.

Studies have linked it to negative effects on the immune system and hormonal balance. And it is not the only thing hiding in those at this favorite fast food restaurant.

A Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich contains 55 ingredients. Among them:
👉 Dimethylpolysiloxane — the Silly Putty compound in the frying oil
👉 Sodium aluminum phosphate — aluminum is a known neurotoxin, flagged on EWG’s Dirty Dozen Additive Watch List
👉 Potassium iodate — banned from flour in Europe due to concerns about thyroid function
👉 DATEM and monoglycerides — potential sources of trans fats
👉 Calcium propionate — linked to irritability and attention problems in children
👉 MSG — added to boost flavor, linked to headaches and inflammatory responses in sensitive individuals
This is not a simple chicken sandwich. It is a chemistry experiment.

Follow along for one thing every day that is quietly making you sick and exactly what to do about it.
