At Tendwell, we love pets!! There is actually quite extensive research on the benefits of owning a cat. Cats have been domesticated for thousands of years, and they hold a special place in many people's hearts. In this blog we discuss some of the commonly researched benefits of owning a cat.

Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide known for its effectiveness in killing weeds. However, its impact on human health and the environment has sparked concerns and debates in recent years. Many clinicians in the functional medicine community advocate avoiding glyphosate if possible. The FDA states that the trace amounts of glyphosate found in many foods (cereals, GMO soy products, wine) are not harmful, but perhaps, with repeat exposures—what functional medicine doctors call a chronic low-level toxicity—can have profound physiological effects.

In this functional medicine blog, we will discuss the importance of choosing organic bedding materials to reduce toxic exposures. Reducing toxic exposures is, of course, an important part of an overall holistic health plan and one area where we can have a great impact is in our bedding.
