Join our Virtual Book Club this October and November as we turn over a new leaf and learn together!

We're almost through wrapping up our Podcast Intensive on mold! Joe Reiss, one of our favorite inspectors, will be sharing with us this week on the podcast. 

As we look forward to fall and winter and as we see the uptick in clients who became ill over summer from bug-born infections, we've done a little remodeling to our offerings to adapt to your needs.

We wanted to bring you gentle, effective remedies for everyday symptoms- without the side effects.  Hey Hey Homeopathics are easy-to-use, liquid formulas designed to help your body do what it does best: heal. Here's to stocking up your natural medicine cabinet so you can feel better fast (without the harsh stuff)!   

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 household—including our dog—was showing symptoms.

Here at Hey Hey Mae, we are dedicated to sharing our knowledge and experience to help you or a loved one find healing and wellness.  We know that part of that also means sharing the experiences of other clients or even our team who may be going through the same day-to-day ailmetns and issues you are also facing as you raise your family.  

Recently, I helped my son use homeopathy with hopes of addressing his issue without needing the traditional go-to of antibiotics for an infection. 

Therapies We Use

Understanding the Tools: Medicine, Supplements, Herbs, Homeopathy

If you’re reading this, you’re likely looking for answers — 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 doctor’s visits that seek to give you a pill pack - it’s 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 you’re stuck in confusion before you get started.  Yet, there’s that little voice inside that says your health isn’t 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.  

Let's get these homeopathics put to work in your homes! We're cranking out educational videos to post to our socials and Youtube - but in the meantime, let's walk through some really simple applications and go-to homeopathic tools for the home prescriber - that's you! 

Our homeopathy line is the star of Summer! Whether you're setting off on vacation, camping out and having s'mores in the backyard with the kids, or just navigating daily life as usual, we've got the remedy to tackle any little nagging issue that pops up! 

Check out a few of our favorites below and get to implementing this simple and proven system of medicine as a gentle, no side effect, effective part of summer! 

Your immune system isn’t just at work when a pathogen takes root - it’s at work every moment of everyday of your life as fungi, bacteria and virus’ 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 body’s dime.  It’s the immune system that keeps these pathogens from making your body their permanent address.

Today we are discussing the practical aspects and manifestations of Lyme disease, including the importance of understanding traditional Western medicine protocols and bridging them with a functional approach to effectively manage symptoms. We are joined by one of our lead practitioners, Abby. We highlight various symptoms associated with Lyme disease, such as fatigue, GI issues, dizziness, and knee pain, and discuss the interconnectedness of Lyme disease and hormonal health. Listen to learn more about a holistic approach to treating Lyme disease to lead to more significant healing outcomes.

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.

We are going over the importance of knowing what to do if bitten by a tick, including practical steps for tick removal, care for the bite area, and why it could be important to keep the tick for potential testing. This episode also delves into the different stages of Lyme disease, symptoms to watch for, and preventive measures, aiming to educate you on living wisely in a tick-populated world without succumbing to fear.

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.

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.

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.

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.
