Lisa Pitel-Killah Shares Material From Her Con Ed Course

Join us Tuesday, May 10 at 7:00 PM ET/4:00 pm PT for a 1 hour webinar, as Lisa Pitel-Killah presents a detailed analysis of calcium! Calcium regulates cell permeability, maintains pH balance, and plays a role in muscle/nerve contraction. Osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, inability to lose weight, and blood sugar dysregulation are just a few of the issues that may arise from calcium that has been deposited in the tissues. One way to identify this issue and support the body is with HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis). Lisa will share and teach insights on a commonly seen pattern on HTMA that may lead to all of the listed issues, plus what you can do about it.

We asked Brett what he loves about teaching his courses and what he loves about IHN:

“I love seeing people light up and have those aha moments when something resonates with them. I also love empowering people to live a healthier, vibrant, and abundant life.

This piece needs an encore. It is a full analysis of multiple publications and the honest account of the writer’s own personal experiences when she became sick with Lyme disease. In a June 2, 2019, article (20 minute read), medical science writer Helke Ferrie takes an in-depth look at the research to uncover the link between Lyme Infection, Thyroid Disease, and B12 Deficiency. "What I did not consider, while fighting this second round of Lyme infection, was that Lyme on the brain also harms the thyroid, and drastically depletes vitamin B12 reserves in the liver. Both of those problems are exacerbated by another debilitating condition familiar to chronic Lyme patients – namely adrenal fatigue."

Tamarind is a tropical plant that produces pods filled with paste-like, sweet-sour fruit. The tamarind pulp is used as a flavor in many traditional dishes in Asia, South America, and the Caribbean. The seeds and leaves are also edible parts of the plant. Tamarind contains polyphenols with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, protecting against heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Tamarind is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and beneficial plant compounds. We recommend this tangy Chamoy Sauce using tamarind by IHN graduate Geazul Jove-Viniegra.
