Here's to stocking up your natural medicine cabinet so you can feel better fast (without the harsh stuff)!
Kristaβs Chronic Clarity
Dear Friends,
As many of you know, health challenges often show up when we least expect them. Recently, my family and I moved into a short-term furnished rental, and despite what looked like a clean space, we quickly discovered it was contaminated with toxic mold (Stachybotrys). Within just a couple of days, every member of our householdβincluding our dogβwas showing symptoms.
Abbyβs Homeopathy Hacks: Bite-Sized Cases and Go-To Remedies

How we Help you Heal: Our Approach to Functional Care, Natural Remedies, and Homeopathy
If youβre reading this, youβre likely looking for answers β maybe after years of feeling unheard or unwell. The team at Hey Hey MAE is here to help you understand your options, feel supported, and discover a system of care that truly fits you.
Between biohacking and doctorβs visits that seek to give you a pill pack - itβs hard to know what next choice is the right choice for your body. Whether you should take this or that, try that cleanse, is this thing that person is selling even safe? Stack all of that on the lack of knowledge we were taught about our bodies growing up and the vast amount of knowledge available on the internet - and youβre stuck in confusion before you get started. Yet, thereβs that little voice inside that says your health isnβt being taken of well by your providers. I was you.
This overview of our care will help demystify the process we walk our clients through to move from sick and shut down to thriving and better than before they felt bad.

How does an immune system work?
Your immune system isnβt just at work when a pathogen takes root - itβs at work every moment of everyday of your life as fungi, bacteria and virusβ try to gain access to a warm and energetic host that can provide a warm home, free food, energy to run on and an endlessly life of loafing on your bodyβs dime. Itβs the immune system that keeps these pathogens from making your body their permanent address.

Lymeβs Complicated: Understanding the Epidemic, Lymeβs Symptom Cascade & Healing Hope
Lyme disease is prevalent across all 50 states and globally, often mimicking other diseases and presenting a wide range of symptoms, making it challenging to diagnose. This discussion highlights the flawed CDC testing methodologies and the various ways Lyme can be transmitted, including tick bites, mosquitoes, bed bugs, lice, organ transplants, and other surprising ways. We talk about Lyme's ability to lie dormant and reactivate under stress, the potential for co-infections, and the challenges faced by sufferers, such as being misdiagnosed or receiving inadequate care from healthcare providers. We hope to equip you with a comprehensive understanding of Lyme disease, its transmission, symptoms, and the importance of being informed and proactive in seeking appropriate treatment.

Lesleyβs Story: Is it Anxiety, Thyroid Issues or Lyme?
In this episode, Lesley shares her intense experience with an onset crisis linked to chronic infections and explores the intersection of traditional medicine, psychiatry, and addressing chronic infections. Lesley recounts her health journey, which initially involved manageable symptoms like night sweats and minor anxiety. However, following the birth of her granddaughter in 2022, she experienced a severe health collapse characterized by extreme anxiety, panic attacks, and sleeplessness. Despite efforts to manage her symptoms through medication and lifestyle changes, her condition worsened, leading to a psychiatric hospitalization. Lesley's story highlights the complexity of brain health and the significant impact chronic infections can have on mental well-being.
Migraines, Chronic Fatigue, Hashimotoβs, Food Reactions, Autoimmuneβ¦or is it EBV?
Today we are diving into Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and its significant impact on health, particularly chronic immune issues. EBV, known for causing mononucleosis, can also trigger autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's, lupus, and multiple sclerosis by hijacking the immune system. We also highlight the importance of recognizing EBV as a root cause of various chronic conditions and advocate for a comprehensive approach to treatment.
Tβs Story of Healing Asthma & Allergies from the Root
Rick and Becky share their journey of addressing their youngest son T's severe asthma and allergy issues, which began with frequent ER visits, multiple diagnoses, and continuous medication use. Initially focused on symptomatic treatment, they shifted to a holistic approach involving Nutrition Response Testing (NRT), which revealed deeper root causes, including significant food sensitivities and gut health issues. Through extensive testing and dietary adjustments, we identified and eliminated inflammatory foods, which led to a notable improvement in T's overall health. Listen to hear their family's story.
What Makes an Immune System Ignore an Infection?
This week's episode explores why some immune systems ignore infections. We look into how different factors can disrupt the balance between two key parts of the immune system, TH1 and TH2 cells. TH1 cells act quickly to kill infections, while TH2 cells coordinate longer-term responses and produce antibodies. When the balance tips too much towards TH2, it can lead to chronic inflammation and less effective infection control. Factors like acute illnesses, stress, and antibiotics can trigger these imbalances. Understanding these triggers helps to explain why some people get sick more easily or have different reactions to the same infections.
