Should you use bentonite clay as a binder for mold toxicity, candida, parasites, or heavy metals? In this video, holistic health coach Selena Bando breaks down what bentonite clay actually does in the body, why it can backfire for many people with chronic illness, gut issues, histamine intolerance, constipation, fatigue, or nervous system dysregulation, and the real controversy around heavy metal contamination in clays. From a food-first, gut-healing, terrain-based perspective, you’ll learn why binders are not a cure-all, how they can disrupt bile flow, mineral status, and digestion, and why detox support must be earned by strengthening detox pathways first. If you’ve reacted to binders or felt worse after “detoxing,” this video explains why — and what to focus on instead for safe, effective root-cause healing.

If you’ve been cutting foods, adding supplements, and “doing all the right gut healing things” but you’re still bloated, inflamed, or reacting with histamine symptoms, there’s a strong chance your mucosal lining is compromised. In this video, I explain what the gut mucosal lining is, why many popular gut protocols accidentally make it worse, and the five foundational ways to repair it using GAPS principles and newer research. We cover why slowing fiber can be necessary, why fat is essential for mucosal repair, why meat stock (not bone broth) is critical early on, how to therapeutically repopulate the mucosal layer with beneficial microbes, and the specific microbe shown to support mucosal regeneration.

It doesn’t matter how “perfect” your diet is if your nervous system is stuck in stress. In this video, Selena from Wholeness Campaign explains how chronic stress directly hijacks digestion, alters stomach acid, slows motility, damages the gut lining, and even changes the microbiome—undermining gut healing efforts no matter what you eat. Drawing from the GAPS Diet, real physiology, and insights from nutritional anthropology, Selena breaks down why stress is one of the most overlooked root causes of IBS, leaky gut, histamine intolerance, food reactions, and chronic symptoms.

What do you do if you can’t tolerate meat stock? In this video, I answer a common gut-healing question from someone who found that increasing meat stock caused strong, debilitating reactions, and I explain why this experience is actually more common than you think. We talk about what meat stock is doing in the body, why detox reactions can happen when introducing therapeutic foods, and how reacting does not automatically mean you should eliminate it. I share how to find a tolerable amount that supports healing without overwhelming your system, why gradual increases often improve tolerance over time, and how to distinguish between unbearable detox and manageable healing reactions.

After four years of chronic yeast infections, eczema, rashes, and lingering candida symptoms, one of my clients finally cleared her last residual symptom — and in this video, I break down the four foundational things that made the biggest difference. From transitioning into Stage 2 of the GAPS Nutritional Protocol, to using meat stock for gut repair, strategic fermented foods to crowd out yeast, liver support, and eventually addressing underlying toxicity, this case highlights why candida healing requires more than just food restriction. If you’ve tried carnivore or the traditional Candida Diet and still feel stuck, this video will give you clarity, hope, and a root-cause framework for lasting healing.

In this episode of the Wholeness Campaign Podcast we answer the question: how do you act powerfully in your health? Particularly in situations where people are telling you what to do and acting as if they are the boss. The modern medical system has played into this idea that there is a hero and a victim. We shatter that paradigm in this podcast and open up about a recent situation where Eric stood up to a doctor and had a voice. We talk all about respect in this situation and what it looks like to honor yourself and honor others while you are making meaningful decisions for your health.

Follow along as we share encouraging testimonies that inspire hope for your healing process and talk about the messy parts of the wholeness journey that many people leave out.

In this episode of the Wholeness Campaign Podcast we compare and contrast the ideas of empathy and sympathy. When people are healing from chronic illness, it is really common for people to step into the role of pitying someone or unintentionally looking down on them. Have you ever thought, “I’m glad I’m not in their shoes”?? That is the essence of sympathy. Whereas empathy is intentionally putting yourself in the other person’s shoes to feel what they are feel WHILE at the same time believing in them and having hope that they can come out. In this episode I practice an exercise in empathy to demonstrate what it may sound like. I hope you are encouraged by this empathy, especially if you have been fighting for your health for any length of time. I am with you and I hope even though I don’t know exactly where you are at that you feel attuned to (or at the very least this kick starts some self-attunement or self-compassion that you have been needing). Enjoy the episode!

In this episode of the Wholeness Campaign Podcast we talk about NARCISSISM. There are many limiting belief systems and habits that impact our healing and narcissistic tendencies are huge! After a deeply impactful counseling session, we share our experience with our own covert narcissism as well as how it has played out in our relationships. Many people think of overt narcissism when they think of narcissism but there is a COVERT type of narcissism that is just as disturbing and much harder to spot. Join us as we discuss the implications for health and wholeness!
