I've been using Pure Body's Colon Rescue for about 20 years to successfully resolve my chronic…read moreconstepation. For the past 6 years, since an unsuccessful sinus operation left me with a post nasal drip that wiped out most of my taste and smell and left me croaking like a frog, I have been unsuccessfully searching for a fix. Six days ago, I found it Pure Body's Heart & Lung Plus. Today, I awoke with my nose and throat clear. And I've been able to taste things that were like cardboard. But the best thing about Pure Body's Heart & Lung Plus is that it has essentially cured a condition I've had for two years since I lost most of my blood (4 units) due to a botched proctologist treatment. It's called Orthstatic Hypotension. When I stood up, my systolic blood pressure dropped 30-50 points, leaving me frantically gasping for air for up to 2-3 minutes. The other day, when Roger Becamis - the genius behind Pure Body - introduced me to Heart & Lung Plus, I measured my blood pressure drop when I stood and it was 36 points. After I took 3 Heart & Lung Plus tablets and immediately tried standing up again, the drop was only 6 points. And during the 5 days since then, taking 4 Heart & Lung Plus tablets per day, the drop has gradually fallen to zero. My Cardiologist is amazed. I recommend Pure Body's products without reservation.

I was recommended to Ema's Herbs by a friend who has sworn by Sara and her team here. Having been…read moreexperiencing health issues for a bit now, I was optimistic to try a more holistic approach and see what their services are all about. Full transparency there is a pretty significant waitlist to see Sara and I did have to wait a few months to get an individual consult with her. If you're looking for a consult and one on one, this is the best service/way to do it - just know to be patient. I signed up online with an appointment date a few months out and I did notice that when there were cancelations by other clients, I would get an email notifying me in case I wanted to get the open appointment. However, with them being so popular, by the time I'd check my emails and try to sign up for the earlier appointment they were always taken. I learned you just have to be really patient to get into here. I felt that the wait was worth it though. Sara was very knowledgeable, approachable and kind. She touched my feet and without me disclosing any of my healthcare issues she was able to relay back what she believed/could read to be some of my health issues/areas in my body that had inflammation etc. After she was through I did provide more context or validate some points she made but the initial consult / reading was all to her credit for figuring out what she could. It was a very interesting experience and enjoyable. From there Sara recommended products and I bought about 85% of them. The different vitamins and products do add up but they also seem to last about 2-3 months before I'll run out so not bad. I've been on the supplements for about a month so I'll need more time to come back here and to report what differences I see. For now I'm just getting in the swing of consistently taking the different items I purchased. Lastly, if you don't make an appointment or want an assessment, you can simply walk in and buy any products you'd like. That's definitely nice for people who already know what they are looking for or for established customers who may not need a reading/one on one with staff every-time they come. From supplements, to drinks and teas, they have it all. One item of theirs that I have been using that seems to be working well is their sore throat tea. So if you are prone to sore throats or preparing for flu season I'd definitely recommend a can of this tea. Ema's herbs is a cute place and for years I wandered right past it. Despite the signage, the little house style shop was unassuming and I had never realized what this spot was. Definitely a great local business and staff who really want to support you with your wellness and healing journey. Excited to come back in another month and grateful I was referred to them.

Over the years I have gotten treatment for various issues from Nathan and this review is overdue…read more In the last treatment I had eczema on my face which was itchy, uncomfortable and of course visually not pleasing. He gave me an amazing topical cream that cleared it up in 2 days as well as herbs internally to stop it from recurring. It has not recurred since...that was 4 months ago. A year ago I had a bicycle accident and had very bad scrapes on my face and elbow and hands. Nathan gave me a powder that I mixed with water to put on the wounds. It healed the wounds quickly and also kept them from getting infected, without having to deal with bandages and antibiotic creams. And last but not least I was on a course of herbal treatment for the beginnings of arthritis in the middle fingers. I work with my hands and I really did not want it to progress...to my delight the condition went away and never returned....that was about 5 years ago. Nathan is thorough, has a wealth of knowledge, and is very dedicated to his work.

Nathan Kaehler is a profoundly gifted, knowledgeable, wise, sensitive, caring and intuitive…read morepractitioner of Chinese medicine/herbs and acupuncture. He was recommended to me as "the best" by a trusted somatic practitioner. His work is his passion--he really devotes most of his life to studying plants, herbs and holistic healing. And it is obvious that he cares deeply for his patients. (He also practices what he preaches, which is always nice too.) His psycho-spiritual background and education is invaluable for those whose pain or ailments have roots in trauma. He is also incredibly knowledgably in an array of spiritually- and psychologically-minded information that he freely shares. This can be very valuable to the healing/learning process. In this vein, his intuition is a major plus and has been very right-on. And his words often feel like messages from beyond meant just for me, which carry their own healing and are unlike work with any other practitioner. I love that his personality is easy-going and gentle, not at all pushy or ego-filled. He really takes time with you as well. I also respect that Dr. Kaehler is realistic and honest with you. He doesn't promise miracles, and he doesn't sell you a bill of goods before he gets to know you or your system. His approach is about keeping things in balance, getting to the roots of illness, and doing slow, steady healing (at least for complicated & sensitive cases like me) -- which can be hard, because we're impatient to heal, but I think he has the right idea. As for results, I wouldn't judge based on me, as I am an extreme case with deep-set chronic illnesses and major trauma history. But, I am in a better place now, and I have had some significant gains. It all came very slow and steady. In the least, this is the first practitioner who hasn't pushed any of my various conditions out of whack, which often happened with prior doctors/acupuncturists who'd help one thing but make another worse. He has also been successful at giving me acupuncture attuned to what my body can handle, whereas other acupuncturists would do a too-strong treatment, or help one thing but throw another out of whack. I don't exaggerate to say that I am blessed to have him as my doctor, and I am a better person for knowing him.

I found Mel Eats Meals at the Casa Pacifica Food & Wine festival this June and when I sampled some…read moreof their food I was really impressed. The food was healthy yet tasted really good, what a concept? Lol. But seriously, upon getting the opportunity to sample their food and to learn that they were a local meal prep and delivery service out of the 805, I knew I had to give them a try. I was six months into actively going to the gym and the next step was to take control of my eating habits. The idea of having healthy meals portioned and cooked for me sounded like such a lifesaver and would take all of the work and prep out of cooking which was the major selling point. When doing a meal prep service I look at 1. Taste 2. Price 3. Variety of the Meals and 4. Simplicity of delivery/pickup. Mel Eats delivers on every aspect! First off all the good actually tastes really good. That's the most important, for it to be sustainable for me I have to like what I'm eating. I appreciate that they have three portion sizes to pick from. Some tailored at leaning out/weight loss, some just to maintain a healthy physique, or bulking for the gym bros/gals. It's very simple ordering the meals and customizing them online. I like that you can customize everything - from the protein, to the carb/sides, the veggies you want, and the sauces. Also they have two rotating weekly specials for meals and overnight oats. This is KEY. In needing variety and something exciting, I love that they have perfected bringing new bites to their weekly menus. Pricing is super reasonable in my opinion. The meals range from I think $14-$17 based on your portion size. Also the more meals you buy they take off $1-2 a plate. I usually walk away with a meal for each day, 5 days a week, under $65. You really can't beat it. Also delivery is only $7 which I think is awesome. Pickup throughout Ventura County is free at their set locations which is nice for those saving every dollar. I've done both delivery and pickup, both were seamless and easy. Aside from all of the great things I've already mentioned, the customer service here is A+. Everytime I reach out to them on their social media instagram page or through their customer service email they reply back same day. They truly make you feel like a valued customer and they are always professional and polite when I engage with them. I feel really lucky to have stumbled upon them this summer. I'm at four months of meals with these guys and I don't know what I'd do without them. Mel Eats is a lifesaver when it comes to meal prep and I'm happy I've gotten a few friends ordering from them. Everyone reports back being happy with this service and I hope more people find them because they are some of the best in this space.
