Add SertraGlow™ as part of your wellness journey to help you feel more like yourself, naturally. 🌈 Live lighter. Love bigger. Glow brighter! With SertraGlow™. Did you see what I just did there Reader? This isn’t real. But the ingredient? Is. You probably know it’s Zoloft. But without the word “depression,” no warning about serotonin syndrome, no mention of GI side effects, sexual dysfunction, or withdrawal risk… it’s a real medication, wrapped in sparkle and sold as self-care. And everything I just said about it, I could definitely say if it were a supplement. Because supplements don’t need to prove they work. They don’t have to be tested by the FDA. They can make bold, emotional promises without disclosing risks. They can say “supports mood,” but not “treats depression.” They can be sold in gummies, powders, and teas, with side effects hidden in tiny print or not even mentioned at all. 😬 Creepy how easy that switch was, right? That’s why supplements are a bajillion dollar industry! And sometimes supplements include actual medications so they work “better” but don’t have to mention that magical ingredient or any of the potential risks. SMH. Meanwhile, “my” meds are subject to years of scrutiny:
And still, somehow, they’re the “scary” ones, even though all this potentially bad stuff helps people make better, more informed decisions! Here’s what I want you to know: I’m not anti-supplement. I take a few myself. But I take them with awareness. And I want that for you, too. Because “natural” doesn’t mean “safe.” And “sold in a store” doesn’t mean “studied.”
If you or your clients are using supplements, know that...
At a minimum, look for seals like USP or NSF on the bottle. If you want to check on the details of a certain supplement, try one of these: Zoloft as SertraGlow™? If this ad made Zoloft seem safer... we’ve got some things to work on. Because when you get rid of the FDA oversight, the data, the science, and the accountability, you’re left with a promise in a bottle. Sometimes that’s enough. But sometimes it’s dangerous (not to mention, pricey!). Let’s help people tell the difference! (Although that marketing is pretty awesome right?? Live lighter? Yes, please!) On a funner note, wanna create your own magical medication? I’ve got just the thing for you! Check it out HERE Cheers to healthy brains, Dr. B P.S. Here’s your video link on supplements P.P.S. Have I mentioned that there’s an amazing CEU retreat this October in Hawaii? It’s going to be awesome! But don’t take my word for it. Check out all the details HERE! |

It's well into summer here in sunny (and thunderstormy) Florida! And that means time for me to take a pause for a couple of months. Not just to chill (wouldn't that be nice!) but to study for my Menopause Certification! (See? It's telling me to take a pause right in the name!) Hardcore studying for something feels weird. I read journals and take courses all the time but I usually do that for "fun" or just to add to my bank of information about mental health. This is new. this is what I feel...
Jarod was 56 years old and super anxious. He'd been a nervous kid, a stressed out teen, and was nearly incapacitated by his anxiety as he moved through adulthood. He'd worked with multiple different psychiatrists, and I was consulted because he just wasn't getting any better. How much longer can I go on like this? he wondered. Before we'd met, Jarod paid $400 out of pocket for pharmacogenetic testing. THIS will have the answers! Except... It didn't. Jarod was devastated when his results came...
She’s showing up. She’s doing the work. You’ve built trust, you’ve tackled the hard stuff, and yet… she’s still not getting better. She’s exhausted. Foggy. Short-fused. You’re wondering if it’s resistance. Or maybe trauma. But what if it’s her thermostat? but are you waking up at 2am sweaty and anxious? Vasomotor symptoms (VMS), lovingly referred to as hot flashes and night sweats, can sneak in and quietly wreck therapy progress. They interrupt sleep. Disrupt mood. Heighten anxiety. Muddle...
