Episode #109: Glucuronidation with Beth O'Hara
Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about the importance of glucuronidation in supporting detoxification and regaining optimal health. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Beth O'Hara. Beth O'Hara is a Functional Naturopath and Functional Genetic Analyst specializing in Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, porphyria, glucuronidation, and genetics. She holds a Doctorate in Naturopathy specializing in Functional Naturopathic Approaches and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. Beth found her own root causes contributing to her chronic health challenges and has been able to heal. After decades of seeing traditional health care practitioners, she felt like she was at the end of her rope. The medications often made her worse. Being given the wrong supplements didn’t help either. Finally, she discovered a three-part approach that helped her get well: Genetic Analysis, Functional Naturopathy, and Emotional Wellness. Combining the three approaches allowed her to explore genetic root causes underlying her own MCAS. She analyzed her lab testing to better understand imbalances in her body and chose supplements personalized for her individual needs. Stress reduction techniques form a big part of her self-care as well. These things all allowed her body to heal. Since then, her passion is working with others with MCAS to find their root causes and support their healing. Beth has been in practice for over 10 years and has helped hundreds of clients. Together, she works with you to identify your unique root causes, analyze your lab results, and develop a customized healing plan based on your needs, goals, and lifestyle. Key Takeaways: What is glucuronidation? What are xenobiotics? What is the connection between bilirubin and glucuronidation? How does glucuronidation impact bile acids, hormones, prostaglandins, coritcoids, fatty acids, and fat-soluble vitamins? Where in the body does glucuronidation take place? What are the genetic factors involved in glucuronidation impairment? What is the connection between glucuronidation and chondroitin sulfate, heparan sulfate, the extracellular matrix, and TGFb1? What are some of the substances to be avoided to take pressure off of the glucuronidation pathway? What role does glucuronidation play in phenolic or salicylate sensitivity? How might intolerance to CBD be a clue for glucuronidation impairment? What is beta-glucuronidase? How does it impact glucuronidation? What is the connection between glucuronidation and the blood brain barrier and neurotoxicity? How does glucuronidation impact the clearance of mycotoxins from the body?

She is the founder of Vibrant Blue Oils where she combines her training in nutritional therapy and aromatherapy to create unique proprietary blends of organic and wild-crafted essential oils.

Simple tasks like answering the phone or doing laundry were completely overwhelming. Jodi has helped over 50,000 clients heal from brain-related challenges including anxiety, insomnia, and autoimmunity. She had tried intense restrictive diets, expensive supplements, and all sorts of therapies. These helped a little, but very little. She was constantly treading water and barely stating afloat, but not improving. Her protocols kept her from drowning, but never pulled her out of the deep water. Everything shifted when a friend gifted her a box of essential oils with an assurance that they would help. She began formulating essential oil blends based on her knowledge of physiology. Her first was to support her own exhausted adrenal glands and within minutes she felt like herself for the first time in months. She finally had a life vest. Eventually, friends and clients tested the formulations with similar success. As the author of the #1 Bestselling book, Healing with Essential Oils, Jodi was inspired to educate clinicians and individuals after personally experiencing the profound physical and mental benefits that essential oils could deliver. For the past ten years, Jodi has worked closely with healthcare practitioners - including MDs, NDs, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, acupuncturists, health coaches, nutritionists and yoga instructors - to discover the best essential oil protocols in clinical practice to support underlying imbalances that often lead to disease, including supporting sleep, stress, digestion, inflammation, detoxification, and blood-sugar imbalances. Key Takeaways: What are essential oils? How are essential oils administered? Are there vibrational properties to essential oils? How might oils be used to support mental and emotional health, including anxiety and depression? Can essential oils help support the adrenal glands? How might essential oils be used to optimize our external environment in terms of mold or EMF exposure? Do essential oils support improving sleep? Can essential oils be used to assist the body in detoxifying? How might essential oils be used in addressing MCAS and reducing systemic inflammation?
