IT'S TIME TO ADDRESS YOUR HEALTH ISSUES - DIABETES AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE! If you've been at the supermarket lately, you've probably noticed the "baking section" completely bare. Obesity with health issues, insulin resistance (pre-diabetes/diabetes) and high blood pressure are the primary conditions negatively affecting your outcome and immune response if you contract COVID-19. Diet can reverse these conditions, and it's not too late to start today. If you are taking medi...cations for these conditions, your health issues are not controlled, medications are controlling them, and your risks remain high. In my professional view, changing your diet should be strongly mentioned and recommended during any medical briefing on COVID-19. I am offering meal planning and guidelines unique to your individual needs/health conditions and I am currently accepting new clients by phone/Zoom/Skype or FaceTime consults only and will issue a health insurance receipt.

Live Q&A with MJ Brown, How to Arm Your Immune System Against Covid-19

& ! - Ill be speaking with Marie-Josée Brown, Certified Holistic Cancer P...ractitioner & Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner, about how to boost your immune system against #Covid19 and what key nutrients & supplements to consider. Whos gunna join in live?

IMMUNE BOOSTING PROTOCOL! Friends and clients have written me asking for supplement recommendations to boost their immune system during the pandemic. This is the protocol I have shared with them. The top Orthomolecular Health Experts from 44 countries reviewing 30 years of research done on different viruses from the common cold, different strains of influenza and other corona viruses recommend the following supplement protocol that has shown to reduce the length and severity... of symptom: 3000mg vit C/day taken in divided dose 5000IU Vit D for 2 weeks, then reduce to 3000IU/day 20mg zinc/day If you have the virus, 1000mg vitamin C every hour for 6hrs for 1 day, then reduce to the above recommendations. As a Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner I have used supplements with great success for many conditions and on the contrary of what I have read on different past Facebook posts, the research is solid in the field of supplementation and can easily be accessed in PubMed. China has used vitamin C in severe cases and now New York is following their approach. Vitamin C in capsule form also has positive response for your immune system, not just IV vitamin C...and let's be clear, 65-90mg/day of vitamin C is barely enough to prevent scurvy and far from offering immune boosting effects. Orthomolecular practitioners are trained in supplementation and offers optimal daily intake (ODI) or therapeutic doses (TDI), not recommended daily intake (RDI. Please share this information!

METABOLIC APPROACH TO CANCER Cancer remission is all about the underlying conditions, the terrain in which cancer started in the first place and as a holistic oncology nutritionist, all my training and experience support this approach. What does this mean? Addressing all imbalances such as blood sugar, blood pressure, inflammatory markers - high/low platelet count, high/low fibrinogen, high CRP, low albumin, high ESR, anemia, autoimmune diseases, low/high thyroid function,...Continue reading

WEIGHT LOSS AND CANCER THE TRUTH!!!! Typically, when a newly diagnosed cancer patient asks their conventional oncologist what they should eat to help support their health during treatments, the response is: It doesnt matter, eat what you want; just dont lose weight. Lets be clear: WHAT YOU EAT MATTERS! ... Weight loss, known as cachexia in cancer patients needs to be understood to break this non-sense approach of saying eat what you want as long as you dont lose weight statement. The worst thing you can ever give a patient with severe cachexia is Boost, Ensure or other meal replacement drinks. When you look at the first ingredients of all of those they are highly synthetic, highly toxic, four different types of sugars gluten and all types of things that kick up the inflammatory process, and why is this so important to understand? Cachexia (uncontrolled weight loss) is an inflammatory, cytokine-driven process. Its very much driven by sugar. Insulin resistance is a hallmark of cachexia, the wasting from within. Consuming a high-carbohydrate diet that includes sugar will only worsen cachexia. Drinking Boost, Ensure, eating large bowls of ice cream, desserts, and the likes only throw gas on the fire. A study in the September 2014 issue of the journal Cancer and Metabolism concluded that cachexia is partly due to metabolic alterations in tumor cells, which can be reverted by a ketogenic diet, causing reduced tumor growth and inhibition of muscle and body weight loss. Yes, a diet consisting of 20g of net carbohydrates per day can reverse cachexia!!!! What you eat and dont eat matters if you experience severe weight loss. The type of calories matter! There are very specific blood markers that show the state of inflammation and cachexia and addressing these markers with therapeutic nutrition is extremely important to ensure recovery. Not all cancer patients experiencing weight loss have cachexia and a proper assessment by a Certified Nutritionist in the field of cancer will offer guidelines specific for your individual case. This needs to be repeated. Weight loss does not always mean you have cachexia. Metabolic nutrition and therapeutic supplementation are crucial for recovery, healing gut permeability during/after treatments causing digestive issues (acid reflux, bloat, severe constipation, diarrhea), protecting cardiovascular damages, improve cognitive health (chemo brain) and neurological function, reduce debilitating neuropathy, and rebuild the immune system. How can eating ice cream, cookies, doughnuts, and fried foods help reduce the damage? It doesnt!! PLEASE SHARE ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Book a Consult Today!

DID YOU KNOW THAT FOLATE IS A SUPERSTAR VITAMIN WHEN IT COMES TO CANCER PREVENTION? Every pregnant woman has been told to take folic acid to prevent spina bifida, a common knowledge.but lets dive deeper into why folic acid isnt folate/methylfolate, the form needed for overall health. One of the most important genes in the methylation process is MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase). This gene takes folate and converts it to methylfolate, which has a complicated ro...le in the DNA methylation process. When dietary consumption of folate is low or a person has an MTHFR mutation, the methylation process can be reduced by 40-70%. This hypo-methylation in effect gives oncogenes the green light, which can result in the development of cancer. Over 50% of the population has the MTHFR mutation gene. Consuming folate-rich foods or taking a methylfolate supplement can avert this process. So, when it comes to genetic health, folate is a superstar. B9 or folate is a water-soluble vitamin, must be taken every day and has numerous genetic processes as well as the metabolism and the production of red blood cells. Folate is necessary for the formation of the DNA base adenine and guanine these are two of the four bases needed to make DNA. Humans are not capable of synthesizing folate in the body, which means we must rely on diet or supplementation. The top sources of folate are spinach, endive, bok choy, romaine lettuce, asparagus, turnip greens, goose and duck liver. When we dont eat enough folate-rich foods, fatigue sets in, anxiety, increases the risk of miscarriages, thyroid problems, and a type of anemia causing a decrease in red blood cell production. Folic acid, the synthetic form of folate, is added to grains and supplements such as prenatal vitamins, but individuals with the MTHFR gene defect cannot metabolize folic acid but more importantly, elevated folic acid levels have the potential to stimulate pre-existing cancer cells in these individualsand if you fall in the 50% of individuals who do not methylate properly, you are adding fuel the fire by taking Folic Acid included in your B vitamin. You must make sure its a natural folate or methylfolate. Genetic research often misses the nutrition component involved in metabolic processes. Orthomolecular Health Practitioners study the form of each vitamin and mineral needed and their correct dose. As I often sarcastically say....60mg of Vitamin C is the Recommended Daily Intake...but that's just to prevent scurvy :-) PLEASE SHARE ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Book a Consult Today!

WHAT IS "NUTRITION CANCER THERAPY"? A full-spectrum approach to Nutrition Cancer Therapy looks at nutrition and supplementation from various angles beyond simple dietary changes and reducing sugar. These include optimizing energy metabolism, restoring gut health, rebuilding the immune system, balancing hormones, optimizing hydration, detoxification, drainage, etc. A comprehensive nutrition program focuses on: ... Personalized nutritional and supplemental protocols depending on the clients biomarkers such as the condition of red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets, albumin level, blood coagulation factors, type and stage of cancer, existing conditions other than cancer, complications from treatments, etc. Focus on identifying and removing dietary triggers for cancer such as oncogenic substances present in diets (preservatives, genetically modified foods, pesticides, etc.), correcting erroneous dietary and supplementation notions, and much more. On your journey to full recovery after treatments, you will move from the Containment Phase to the Remission Phase to the Maintenance Phase and hopefully to a Prevention Phase. Test, assess, address and then adjust accordingly and repeat as often as needed during all these different phases. It isnt a one size fits all as your life history is your own and from a Holistic point of view, the terrain in which cancer progressed is more important to rebalance than ONLY removing tumors. We must address cancer in a metabolic way and support/restore your bodys health before, during and after treatments. Holistic Cancer Practitioners do not cure or treat cancer, their aim is to try and rebalance the terrain in which cancer progressed in the first place. PLEASE SHARE!!! Book a Consult Today!

As a Holistic Nutritionist Cancer Practitioner, when Christine reached out to me asking what my approach meant post-cancer treatments, my response was the following: I do not treat or cure cancer and after treatments the focus is to contain and reduce the risks of recurrence, rebuild/improve the immune system, prevent weight loss (cachexia), preserve lean body mass, heal the digestive system and reduce debilitating fatigue. The approach is dependent on the type of cancer and in the case of ovarian cancer, inflammation, and blood coagulation markers are very important to control from a metabolic point of view in controlling cancer progression.
