What Your Body Is Trying to Say (And Why Most Tests Miss It)

What Your Body Is Trying to Say (And Why Most Tests Miss It)


A Quick Start Guide to Unlocking the Hidden Root Causes of Fatigue, Hormone Chaos, Digestion Issues, and Inflammation


Welcome friend,

If you're reading this, chances are… something feels off.
You're tired. You're bloated. Your hormones are all over the place.
You’ve been told, “Everything looks normal.”
But deep down, you know something isn’t right.

That’s exactly why I created this guide — to help you uncover what your symptoms are trying to tell you… and introduce you to a powerful testing system that gets beneath the surface: RBTI (Reams Biological Theory of Ionization).

Let’s walk through the 5 biggest hidden root causes I see over and over again — and how your body’s numbers can help you finally find clarity.

1. You're Dehydrated — at the Cellular Level

Most people drink water… but they’re still dehydrated.
Why? Because your body needs the right balance of minerals and electrical charge to absorb and use water effectively.

❌ Plain water alone isn’t enough
βœ… RBTI shows us your mineral and salt levels, so we can correct this at the root

When your cells are dehydrated, you’ll feel:
  • Brain fog
  • Fatigue
  • Cravings (especially salty or sugary)
  • Constipation
  • Poor skin health

2. Your Body Is Too Alkaline or Too Acidic — and It’s Affecting Everything

Your pH tells us how well your body is breaking down and eliminating waste.
When your pH is off, you may feel:
  • Joint pain
  • Poor digestion
  • Hormone imbalance
  • Chronic inflammation
  • Trouble losing weight
RBTI uses both saliva and urine pH to measure how well your body is processing food, releasing toxins, and maintaining internal balance.

3. Your Digestion Is Sluggish (Even If You're "Regular")

Constipation, bloating, gas, or even frequent loose stools can all signal poor digestion.
One of the most overlooked signs? Undigested proteins and food fermenting in the gut, which throws off your whole system.
RBTI testing helps identify:
  • Protein metabolism issues
  • Liver and kidney stress
  • Overactive or underactive digestion
When these aren’t addressed, it can cause major issues with skin, weight, mood, and energy.

4. Your Hormones Are Screaming — But Nobody’s Listening

Most hormone panels give you a snapshot, but they don’t explain the why.
RBTI helps us understand the terrain behind the hormone chaos — especially what’s happening in the liver, gut, and kidneys.
Symptoms like:
  • Mood swings
  • Cravings
  • Weight gain
  • Irregular cycles
  • Fatigue
    …can all be tied to imbalanced biochemistry that your body is begging for help with.

5. You’re in a Constant Stress Cycle — and It’s Wrecking Your Recovery

Your body can only heal when it’s safe.
But chronic stress (emotional or physical) changes your chemistry — especially your ureas, which RBTI uses to measure stress load, sleep quality, and protein breakdown.
If your numbers show elevated ureas, your body is stuck in “survival mode,” leading to:
  • Sleep issues
  • Poor muscle tone or pain
  • Emotional instability
  • Inability to detox or lose weight

Bonus: My Favorite Quick Tips for Hydration + Mineral Support

Try these simple actions to start balancing your body now:
πŸ’§ Start your day with 8–12 oz of warm water + pinch of sea salt
πŸ‹ Add fresh lemon or raw apple cider vinegar to water 1x/day
πŸ§‚ Use a high-quality mineral salt in place of table salt
πŸ₯¬ Eat hydrating foods like cucumbers, berries, and leafy greens
⏳ Stop drinking 30 minutes before meals to avoid diluting enzymes

There are 100,000 chemicals on the market today. The toxic Substance Control Act of 1976 grandfathered them in. What does that mean to you? Simply put: these chemicals have not had any safety testing, and we know very little information about their side effects. Since 1940's prostate cancer is up 200%, Thyroid cancer up 155%, Brain cancer up 70%. What happens when your body is chemically overloaded? It may not be cancer, but we can feel in ways like: lethargy, inability to focus, sleep trouble, chronic inflammation, unexplained pain, skin issues, adult acne, hot flashes, stress, anxiety, and fear.

How I Went from Rock Bottom to Radiant: My Wellness Story

How I Went from Rock Bottom to Radiant: My Wellness Story
I’ll never forget the moment I sat in that doctor’s office with a handful of prescriptions, wondering if I’d be healthy enough to raise my kids. I was exhausted, borderline diabetic, struggling with high blood pressure, constant pain, and neuropathy. My gut was wrecked. My energy was gone. And my hope felt distant.
For years, I thought I was doing okay — eating food from a box just like everyone else. But I started asking deeper questions. I discovered how food, emotions, and toxins were silently working against me. And slowly, with small changes and deep inner healing, everything began to shift.
I started choosing food that fueled me, not just filled me. I learned how to balance my hormones, detox my body, and reclaim my energy. That journey became a ripple effect — not just in my body, but in my mind, my marriage, and my mission.
That’s why I created Elev8 Your Health. I’m not here to give you a one-size-fits-all plan. I’m here to walk with you step-by-step, so you can finally feel like you again — whole, vibrant, and alive.
I’m a Certified Functional Nutrition Practitioner and RBTI Specialist, but more importantly, I’m someone who gets it. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to start.

The Night My Body Began to Break

The Night My Body Began to Break

The Night My Body Began to Break


A testimony of burnout, weight gain, and finding my way back.

Two years ago, my world quietly fell apart.
There was no big explosion—just a slow unraveling.

My daughter had a seizure and could no longer drive. So I stepped in, like any mom would. I began driving her to work every day—then picking her up at 11 p.m. at night. On top of homeschooling my kids, running a business, cooking meals, and caring for everyone else.

Sleep became a luxury I couldn’t afford.
Most nights I got 4 hours, if that.

And in the fatigue, I reached for survival: snacks at gas stations, sugary pick-me-ups, anything to stay awake behind the wheel. My adrenals tanked. My hormones got out of whack. My body was tired and trying to hold on.

I gained 20 pounds in less than a year—and no matter what I did, it wouldn’t come off.
I was doing all the “right” things… but my body wasn’t cooperating.

I felt stuck in someone else’s skin.




Finding My Way Back


Fast forward to now:
I’ve lost 18 pounds and I feel better than I have in years.
The weight is coming off, but more importantly, my body feels like mine again.

So what changed?

I found a natural, homeopathic drop formula that supported my body where it was—without forcing it or depriving it. These drops are unlike anything I’ve tried before.




How the Drops Work


(And why my body finally responded)

Most people think weight loss is just about cutting calories or exercising more. But if your hormones and adrenals are out of balance, your body is in survival mode—and it will hold on to every ounce, no matter how “healthy” you eat.

The drops help support:

  • Hormone balance – especially cortisol, insulin, and leptin
  • Adrenal function – easing fatigue and helping your body recover from stress
  • Appetite regulation – curbing cravings and stabilizing blood sugar
  • Detox pathways – gently releasing built-up toxins that stall weight loss


They don’t trick your body.
They restore it.

And that’s what made all the difference. I didn’t feel jittery. I didn’t feel deprived. I felt clear, energized, and finally able to sleep again.



If you’re exhausted, inflamed, or stuck in a cycle where nothing seems to work—please hear this:

It’s not your fault.
You’re not broken.
And your healing is still possible.

This journey reminded me that sometimes, we don’t need to push harder… we need to support smarter.

If my story resonates with you, I’d love to walk with you as you begin yours.

Is Your Body a Flowing River - or a Stagnant Pond?

                                                  Is Your Body a Flowing River - or a Stagnant Pond?

πŸ’§ Is Your Body a Flowing River—or a Stagnant Pond?

Here’s What Your Lymphatic System Might Be Telling You


A few years ago, I was constantly puffy.

My hands felt swollen, my face looked tired, and no matter how clean I ate or how many supplements I took—I just didn’t feel right.
I blamed hormones. I blamed food sensitivities. I even blamed stress.

But nothing really helped until I discovered a missing piece I had never been taught about…
πŸ‘‰ My lymphatic system.

And the more I started supporting it gently and intentionally, the more everything shifted.
Brain fog lifted. My skin cleared. I didn’t wake up inflamed. My energy came back.

SO WHAT IS THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM?

Your lymphatic system is like your body's hidden drainage network. It runs alongside your circulatory system and filters out toxins, dead cells, excess fluids, and waste.
When it’s flowing, your immune system is stronger, your skin glows, your digestion works, and your energy feels steady.
But when it’s stagnant, your body starts to feel heavy, inflamed, and off—and most people don’t even realize it.

SIGNS YOUR LYMPH IS STUCK

  • Chronic puffiness (face, fingers, ankles)
  • Brain fog or fatigue
  • Sluggish digestion or constipation
  • Acne or skin breakouts
  • Cellulite that won’t budge
  • Mood swings or irritability
Sound familiar?

WHAT CAUSES STAGNATION?

The lymph system doesn’t have a pump like your heart.a It needs your movement and hydration to stay flowing.
But here’s what slows it down:
  • Dehydration
  • Lack of movement (especially sitting too long)
  • Processed foods + inflammatory eating
  • Stress + emotional blockages
  • Toxin overload (pesticides, chemicals, heavy metals)
And once it’s backed up—it’s not as simple as “drink more water.”
You need a full-body, gentle approach to guide it back into balance.

GENTLE SOLUTIONS THAT WORK

After working with hundreds of women (and through my own healing), I’ve found a few core practices that make all the difference:
βœ… Dry brushing — stimulates lymph flow just beneath the skin
βœ… Rebounding or light movement — helps move lymph fluid upward
βœ… Hydration — but paired with the right minerals and timing
βœ… Castor oil packs — a powerful tool for liver and lymphatic drainage
βœ… Mindset work + emotional release — yes, your lymph holds trauma too
βœ… RBTI analysis — I use this to test body chemistry and identify early lymph burden patterns so we can support your exact needs

READY TO RESET?

If this sounds like you, I’ve created something powerful to help.

The Lymphatic Flush Vault is a 4-week guided experience you can do from home.
No crazy cleanses. No guesswork.

Just step-by-step education, supportive practices, and natural ways to help your body flow again.
It’s time to feel clear, light, and energized again.

The Hidden Hormone Triggers Keeping You Stuck in Your Weight Loss Journey (and the Simple Support Th
You’re doing everything right.

Eating better. Trying to move your body. Drinking the water. But the scale? Stuck.
The pants? Still tight. The energy? Still flat.
If this sounds familiar… you’re not alone.

Weight loss isn't just about calories in and calories out. For many women (and men too), it’s about hormone balance—and if your hormones are out of sync, no amount of willpower will fix it.

Let’s explore what might actually be going on under the surface—and what you can do about it.

🧠 Hormones: Your Body’s Messengers

Your body is designed to maintain balance. Hormones are the messengers that make that happen.
When they're in sync, your metabolism runs smoothly, your appetite signals work properly, and your energy feels steady.
But when they’re out of balance—everything feels off.
Here’s what that might look like:

πŸ¦‹ 1. Thyroid Trouble = Sluggish Metabolism

The thyroid acts like your body’s internal thermostat.
When it’s low-functioning (hypothyroid), you might feel cold, tired, puffy, and gain weight easily—even if you’re eating less.
When the thyroid is sluggish, your metabolism slows down, your cells get less energy, and weight loss becomes almost impossible.

🧬 2. When Your Brain Stops Talking to Your Hormones

Your hypothalamus and pituitary gland are in charge of sending out hormone signals.
If they’re stressed, inflamed, or blocked, communication breaks down—and your hormone cascade gets confused.
This affects everything from:
  • Appetite and cravings
  • Mood and energy
  • How your body stores (or burns) fat

πŸ”₯ 3. Cortisol & Adrenals: The Burnout Loop

Cortisol is your stress hormone.
Your adrenals are the glands that make it.
When you’re under constant stress (even low-grade stress), your cortisol stays high.
High cortisol =
  • belly fat
  • blood sugar imbalance
  • increased hunger
  • poor sleep
  • hormone suppression
And guess what? High cortisol shuts down your thyroid too.
Your body thinks it’s in survival mode. It holds onto fat and stops prioritizing healing.

🍽️ 4. Leptin Resistance: The Craving + Fat Storage Combo

Leptin is your “I’m full” hormone.
When it’s working well, it tells your brain to stop eating.
But when you have leptin resistance, your brain never gets the message.
You keep eating… and your body keeps storing fat.
This is why some people feel hungry all the time—even after eating enough.

🌿 So, What Can You Do?

This is where true metabolic support comes in—not just cutting calories, but supporting your whole hormone system.
And that’s exactly what the Skinny Drops are designed to do.

πŸ’§ The Beauty of the Drops

These homeopathic-style drops aren’t magic—but they are effective because they:
βœ… Support thyroid & adrenal function
βœ… Lower excess cortisol
βœ… Cut through leptin resistance (so you feel full faster)
βœ… Calm the hypothalamus and reset communication between your brain and your hormones
βœ… Encourage gentle detox so your body can release stored fat safely
I’ve watched them work firsthand. For me. For clients. For women who thought their bodies were “broken.”

πŸ”₯ Today Only – You Can Grab a Box for Just $130 (Normally $176)

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to reset your weight loss journey, this is it.
✨ Today only, you can get a box of Skinny Drops for just $130.
This is the same tool I use with clients in my wellness programs—and today, it’s available without the full consult for this one-day special.
If your body has felt stuck, this could be the loving nudge your hormones need.

πŸ’› You’re Not Lazy. You’re Likely Just Out of Balance.

If you’ve been frustrated, please know:
It’s not that you’re not trying hard enough.
You’re likely fighting biology that’s been imbalanced for years—and with the right support, your body can shift.
Let me know if you have questions—I’m here to help you listen to what your body is really trying to say.
With care,
Mari
