being overfed but undernourished and a major update on Berry&#8217;s Biological Stillness Bible.</p><p>How are you sweet soul from 1-10?</p><p>Take a true breath before you answer that.</p><p>If Mom didn&#8217;t tell you, did you know that your body can only heal when it is in a completely paused, calm state?</p><p>Did you know that if your nervous system is stuck in a chronic survival response, your cells drop into a defensive lockdown called the cell danger response where they literally harden their membranes and refuse to heal?</p><p>For many first born who were born in a toxic womb, this c-ptsd response has been running since the womb. Your peace tree can&#8217;t heal till it knows it is safe to do so.</p><p>If you are feeling the quick, scattered energy of this Gemini New Moon, you aren&#8217;t alone. It is a time when the mind wants to race but your body is asking for something much deeper: <em><strong>grounding.</strong></em></p><p>Many of us are cat people, right?</p><p>Lifelong companions like Thumper are our greatest teachers along with our children. Look at how a cat purrs to regulate its body and heal its tissues&#8212;it is a natural frequency of peace.</p><p>As a human animal, you have the exact same built-in biohack: you can hum.</p><p>When stress hits&#8212;when the world feels too loud or the environmental toxins feel too heavy&#8212;that is the moment to start humming. It is the fastest way to drop out of the cell danger response, calm a scattered, overwhelmed mind and step back into the safety of your physical temple.</p><h3>The Science of the Cell Danger Response: Why Fasting Fails in a Crisis</h3><p>For the health detectives out there looking at the data, let&#8217;s talk about the foundation of cellular repair: The Cell Danger Response (CDR). When your body detects a threat&#8212;whether it is environmental mould, synthetic chemical toxicity, emotional trauma or chronic stress&#8212;your cells actively harden their membranes.</p><p>They stop producing energy, halt normal metabolism and drop into a defensive lockdown and why I had a bloated Buddha Belly life long as a primal personal trainer.</p><p>Your human animal must understand this: Healing only happens in a paused, calm state. If your nervous system is trapped in chronic fight-or-flight, your cells are stuck in CDR. Trying to force a prolonged, multi-day water fast while locked in this danger response causes more harm than good. The body perceives the lack of food as an additional life-threatening stressor, spiking cortisol and exhausting the adrenals.</p><p>You cannot starve a cell that is already fighting for its life. The system must first know it is finally safe to pause, drop its guard and heal. We do this by clearing synthetic scents, grounding our feet to Mother Earth and using the physical vibration of humming to switch the vagus nerve back into rest-and-digest mode.</p><p>I answer all your fasting questions on SKOOL @ PeacefulU.</p><h3>The Microbiomental Connection &amp; Reclaiming Your Sanctuary</h3><p>Your brain is your most energy-hungry organ. You are energy so you must be deeply mindful of what you are nurturing that energy with. The truth is, the only true fuel needed&#8212;the only fluids and energy that sustain us&#8212;come straight from Mother Earth.</p><p>We live in an overfed, undernourished society. For decades, listening to the body&#8217;s unique rhythm rather than a clock has been the only way I survived after 30 years of HEAVY drinking. This is how my lifestyle can be sustained on just $100 a month for food today.</p><p>But let&#8217;s be completely transparent about what it means to live on $100 a month for food when you are invisible to the system.</p><p>You might know what it feels like to not qualify for disability because there is not a single OHIP doctor who can diagnose environmental illness here in Canada&#8217;s Capital.</p><p>Conventional medicine simply does not have the diagnostic tools and the disability sector doesn&#8217;t even know what this biology is. I just wanted a pee test for toxin levels and they don&#8217;t have the tools. Functional medicine does because Mother Nature is our medicine cabinet.</p><p>And why is a diagnosis impossible? Because living a clean life, taking no medications and treating the body like a temple means labs come back completely clean.</p><p>On paper standard tests can&#8217;t find anything &#8220;wrong.&#8221;</p><p>When it has been this way for a lifetime, the system&#8217;s immediate default is to claim it is all mental.</p><p>Imagine presenting an active autonomic flare right there in the doctor&#8217;s office, only for the physician to look at the charts, look away, nod and ask your partner, &#8220;Is this mental?&#8221;</p><p>A simple nod yes and off you are sent for another mental health evaluation where you end up being the teacher because you already know how to heal c-ptsd responses holistically.</p><p>A lifelong fear of doctors is a natural response when you witness how they treat mothers and children. So you stop going. You search for the root cause on your own.</p><p>The system fails people like us because we make up only 1.1% of the population. We are the High Sensing Souls whose nervous systems and cellular blueprints do not fit into mass-produced clinical boxes. Because they cannot measure this precision with their outdated tools, they write us off.</p><p>Survival forces you to become your own doctor.</p><p>And for the parentified Souls who grew up showing up as people-pleasers, serving to survive and leading a life of love, a heavy truth remains.</p><p>You can pour love into so many souls, yet not a single one asks how you are doing over a two-year period while you grow weaker each day.</p><p>If you are carrying that exact same quiet ache right now, sweet soul, please know I see you.</p><p>It is the kind of profound exhaustion that led my son Noah and me to sit down and hold each other through one of the most tender, difficult conversations a mother and child can have.</p><p>We had to softly face the reality of this physical temple growing weaker. I looked at my beautiful boy and told him with all the love in my heart that there won&#8217;t be a funeral.</p><p>I am choosing to donate my body to science so they can take care of the rest and lift that final earthly burden from his shoulders.</p><p>Even through that grief, those loved ones who drifted away are still held daily in Loving Kindness prayers. It is a gentle realization that souls who are disconnected from their own inner child care simply cannot connect vulnerably with another.</p><p>When isolation by the world feels that heavy, your daily nourishment becomes your ultimate sanctuary. If the world will not protect your biology, you must protect it yourself with what you put into your temple.</p><p>Mainstream perspectives will look at eating once a day and relying on just five safe foods to survive a distressed belly as an eating disorder. </p><p>But that one meal a day triggers autophagy&#8212;the body&#8217;s natural cellular cleanup&#8212;which is exactly what keeps a system alive through years of heavy stress or heavy drinking. When the body actually needs nourishment, it is fed. It is never deprived but it is rarely hungry.</p><p>Fun Fact: Longer fasts when fighting something actually provide more energy. To be completely clear, this means a strict water fast supported by raw, healing teas.</p><p>In moments of absolute crisis, I did a three-week fast with a 1/4 tsp of baking soda, this gives the system the space to completely overhaul itself.</p><p>But this can only happen when the nervous system has been safely paused and calmed out of the Cell Danger Response.</p><p>We stay in bed with the DBM-5 to cry out stored trauma, I cried for 7 weeks, it is a sacred time to rest and to only serve you and your cells. The DBM-5 course is on Youtube as well for the health detectives.</p><div id="youtube2-cJeKigcBvC4" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;cJeKigcBvC4&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/cJeKigcBvC4?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>When the body is properly regulated, a 3&#8211;5 day water and healing tea fast once a month when needed is the magic window for deep cellular healing for women.</p><p>It takes roughly 72 hours for a down-regulated nervous system to safely signal the immune system to clear out old white blood cells and regenerate new ones without triggering a spike in cortisol.</p><p>For men, the biological timeline behaves differently due to a distinct hormonal baseline. The optimal window for this deep cellular and immune reset typically peaks around a 3-day fast, hitting that sweet spot between 48 and 72 hours where stem cell activation peaks.</p><p>Alignment with these natural laws changes everything. It happened for me in May 2019, a date that completely altered my lifelong work and became what is called a true Microbiome Milestone.</p><p>After choosing sobriety in 2017, the time came to enter a specialized outpatient program for mental health in 2019 because I was wanting to expire before I desired.</p><p>The conventional system laid out its strict rules and dictated a long three-year timeline for eating disorder recovery, especially with the clinical odds stacked against a woman over 50.</p><p>But right at that exact same moment, in May 2019, landmark, massive research on the human microbiome was published. It felt like a direct wink from Mother Earth, confirming what intuition already deeply knew: our gut, our stools and our mental health are all completely connected through the microbiomental axis.</p><p>By quietly ignoring their rigid timelines, treating the gut as the absolute foundation and working with biology, that heavy three-year recovery sentence was cut by two-thirds. </p><p>There was no need to stay trapped in their system for three years. Graduation came in just one year in March 2020 when COVID hit and I have been serving silent observers in crisis, silently each day ever since.</p><h3>Grounding for the Months Ahead</h3><p>Astrologer Pam Gregory has shared that we are entering a historic three-month period across June, July and August. Cosmic shifts are coming that will challenge global food supplies and agriculture.</p><p>Instead of moving into fear, take your power back. Get your hands into the soil, plant your own food and connect with the dirt. If you want a bit of laughter while learning to love the earth, watch Zach Galifianakis in <em>This Is a Gardening Show</em> on Netflix. Getting dirty is medicine.</p><h3>Protecting My Energy: A Deep Community Update</h3><p>There are a lot of moving pieces in this world right now. Behind the scenes, individuals navigating severe crisis are being supported every single day. To protect this biology and ensure the ability to show up for those who need it most, there will be an intentional pull-back with less content across the main feeds this summer.</p><p>The primary focus right now is completing Berry&#8217;s Biological Bible (our Buddhist Biological Bible) for you. I will connect with you all once a month with articles.</p><p>This book is a sacred legacy project meant for my first-born son, Noah and for you. You need to know what you don&#8217;t know about your own body, your environment and your power.</p><p>Because this information is so vital, it will not be held back until final publication. Each chapter will be released raw and in real-time inside our PeacefulU community on SKOOL. If you want to read along as the chapters are poured out, that is where you need to be. The founding rate is good till Sept. 5th when the price goes to 55.00 when the Bible is out.</p><h3>Connect With Me Daily</h3><p>While main posts will be fewer, you can still tune into the daily rhythm on YouTube for fresh community updates, videos and daily Shorts dropping at 7:00 PM on Sat &amp; Sun. If my energy is weak, I have to pause to protect me first so at times there might not be shares at 7pm.</p><p>Here is the live weekend sanctuary schedule:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Saturday Night @ 7:00 PM:</strong> Couch Chats with Momma Lovey &amp; Thumper. We deep-dive into the &#8220;what your mom didn&#8217;t tell you&#8221; topics, environmental healing and how to protect your temple while listening to the new songs I wrote for our Peace for Geese mission, saving our own before March 17 2027.</p></li><li><p><strong>Sunday Night @ 7:00 PM:</strong> Sober Soul Songs. This is where the nervous system lullabies and original music tracks live to help you vibrate at a higher frequency. You can also find new music weekly here for your favourite streaming service: <a href="https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/mommaloveypeace/momma-loveys-light-geese-for-peace">https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/mommaloveypeace/momma-loveys-light-geese-for-peace</a></p></li></ul><p>We have 7 songs for the label to date and the videos are on youtube each Sunday.</p><p>This brings great glee. A nice balance from the daily crisis support along with officiating Buddhist weddings.</p><p>Take a deep breath. Start humming. Get your hands in the dirt. You are exactly where you need to be.</p><p>Are you ready to hum and heal?</p><p>You are the medicine sweet soul. You got this. You are Love. You are Peace. You are the Medicine.</p><p>Sending Loving Kindness from Canada&#8217;s Capital, Dee :) <br>I am rooting for you and your inner child. We got this!<br><br><strong>A mindful note:</strong> I have closed all comments for our silent observers to protect our cells from reactive souls. If you are in crisis reach out to me on LinkedIn at Destresswithdeesos I help souls for free because I believe healthcare should be accessible to all including the homeless who I am trying to reach

type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>In Honour of Another Firstborn: Gone Too Soon, Claude Lemieux.</h3><p>The hockey world is in absolute shock. Just days ago, Claude Lemieux was standing on the ice at the Montreal Canadiens game, smiling, laughing and carrying the ceremonial torch. To the untrained eye, he was full of life.<br><br>To his teammates and friends, he was the ultimate, unbreakable Type A warrior.</p><p>But I have spent 50 years as a peace pathologist of the human condition and a root-cause Buddhist biohacker of my own health. I can see behind the smile. It is the exact reason the late Shaun Simpson and I connected back in the day before we lost touch while I was fighting to save my own life since 2013.</p><p>When an intense, hyper-vigilant athlete suddenly exits this world, society rushes to label it purely as a &#8220;mental health crisis.&#8221; They tell people to &#8220;reach out.&#8221; But what happens when the system itself completely ignores the physical, inflamed engine driving the dark thoughts?</p><p>This article is specifically for those who are suffering with dark thoughts right now and are wondering <em>why</em>&#8212;especially when you have clean labs, live clean, eat clean, lead a life of love, have a genuine joy for life, movement and spend your days in service to others.</p><h3>Raised in the Fire: My 58-Year Biological History</h3><p>Since the age of five, I have had an inflamed brain. I grew up on a mouldy military base after being raised in a toxic womb and having my tonsils out at just six months of age. </p><p>As the firstborn in my family, I received the highest toxic flush in the womb, inheriting a nervous system primed from day one for hyper-vigilance.</p><p>On top of the environmental poisoning, I suffered unspeakable traumas from a young age. I was raised in a very tense home with an absent, abandoning father. My childhood was not rooted in love; our family didn&#8217;t say &#8220;I love you&#8221; or give hugs. To make matters worse, every single home and gym I ever lived and worked in had mould in it.<br><br>I also have learned that when you have mould illness and sick building syndrome that Canada&#8217;s Capital is the mouldiest place to live for our lungs all year round.  <br>Learn more in today&#8217;s video and dbm-5 deep dives on Spotify.</p><p>My mom had exactly what I had. It is a physical, cellular reality: histamine overload, the HLA-DRG gene, the MTHFR gene mutation and POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). <br><br>This is Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). This is what I have been dealing with my entire life and it is what millions of you are suffering through without even knowing it because the doctors keep pointing to your head and telling you it is mental.</p><p>It is not mental. It is environmental illness.</p><p>For most of my life, I could only eat five foods because of severe digestive stress. I lived with constant mental distress, loving dark souls who betrayed me on the regular, chronic stress as an athlete and a type-A working 3 jobs as a single mom. <br><br>Chronic stress is the absolute root cause of all disease. Athletes are at great danger and why MS is on the rise and why I had MS type symptoms that I reversed in 4 months. No meds needed.<br><br>Many high sensing souls also have misophonia&#8212;a severe sensitivity to sound linked to a specific gene in the brain&#8212;your brain is locked on high alert 24/7, making you an incredibly light sleeper. Misophonia is directly linked to dark thoughts because the nervous system never gets a single second of biological stillness.</p><p>For decades, I thought my lifelong depression, acute anxiety, deep fear and being completely petrified all my life was simply because of C-PTSD and my childhood traumas. But it wasn&#8217;t. </p><p>My body is a highly sensitive biological instrument and those dark thoughts were my brain on fire, warning me of danger.</p><h3>Out-Running, Out-Playing and Out-Loving the Trauma</h3><p>For thirty years, I tried to out-pace the noise. High-achieving, Type A firstborns do this naturally&#8212;when the internal pressure builds, the default response is to push harder, train longer and out-perform the darkness.</p><p>We try to out-play, out-run, out-lift, out-work, out-eat or drown our sorrows in booze, out-shop and out-love trauma.</p><p>But you cannot out-manipulate biology. Eventually, the body runs out of resources to suppress the exhaustion. In 2017, I decided I wanted to live in c-ptsd peace. I reversed all of my lifelong symptoms.</p><p>How? I stopped trying to out-play or out-love toxic souls who greedily take your energy when they need you but are nowhere to be found when you need them. I stepped offline, cooled my nervous system and built a strict, non-negotiable rule to protect my inner child, my cells, my soul and Mother Earth:</p><blockquote><p><strong>The Compost Rule:</strong> If it doesn&#8217;t go in the compost bin, it doesn&#8217;t go within or on our human animal.</p></blockquote><p>You cannot heal in the same environment that is making you sick. Many of you are sitting in homes, offices or rehab facilities right now that are filled with mould in air tight containers and you will never get better if you have CIRS and the HLA-DR gene until you change your environment.<br><br>Be mindful reno work is very toxic for your brain because of all the dust. I presented MAID papers to my doctor Thanksgiving 2022 because I hadn&#8217;t slept in months because of a major reno for months to remove mould on all levels of my home. <br><br>Mould loves dust and will cause souls to want to expire before we desire because doctors can&#8217;t find what is wrong with us.<br><br>You can&#8217;t heal in the same environment that is making you sick.</p><h3>The Firstborn Burden and Sibling Responsibility</h3><p>While we do not have an official obituary confirming if Claude Lemieux was the absolute oldest child, records show he was the older brother to fellow NHLer Jocelyn Lemieux and they had a brother, Serge, who required institutional care for cerebral palsy. </p><p>If he was indeed the firstborn, he carried that exact same double burden. He was a parentified caretaker who learned early on that he had to be the strong one who never cracked.</p><p>Once the initial shock of this sudden loss wears off, give yourself absolute grace and the time to cry a lot. Grief is simply love in motion but it takes an immense amount of physical energy to process and heal.</p><p>I know this exhaustion intimately. In September 2024, after a lifetime of keeping a stiff upper lip, my system experienced a total body collapse. I cried for seven straight weeks. My body was finally forcing me to release what my mind had been suppressing.</p><p>This is why I teach biological stillness&#8212;to show you how to safely detox stored grief, emotional trauma and physical toxins from the cells up. The heavy armour you have worn for decades to survive does not need to stay on anymore. To heal the soul, we cannot keep fighting outward; we must drop the shield, let go and go within.</p><p>If your cells are currently screaming for stillness, please know that you do not have to out-run the darkness alone. <br><br>Below is the video I uploaded today&#8212;the Coles Notes version of my DBM-5 method path to C-PTSD peace.  Let your human animal finally rest.</p><div id="youtube2-cJeKigcBvC4" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;cJeKigcBvC4&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/cJeKigcBvC4?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p><br>Sending a 21 second hug from my heart to yours,<br>You are not alone.<br>Dee Anne Berry<br><br><a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/0_oIOVVEWcI">Geese for Peace filmed under the rare double moon today.</a><br><strong>PS:</strong>  I am uploading a song most Sundays at 7pm for Geese for Peace, our mission to change MAID, disability and create a No Scent Law, finding fellow rare birds who do no harm to our cells, soul and mother earth&#8217;s soil, living the Buddhist Way.<br><br>Be mindful addiction peace begins with the parents, my son hasn&#8217;t had a drop of booze or a puff of anything because we had the conversation daily since he was 7.</p><p>DBM-5 provides the path to addiction peace.</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clean Labs, Clean Living and Dying Inside: The DBM-5 Map ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Mould, microbiome, it&#8217;s not mental illness or menopause Monday.]]></description><link>https://deesdharma.destresswithdee.love/p/clean-labs-clean-living-and-dying</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://deesdharma.destresswithdee.love/p/clean-labs-clean-living-and-dying</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dee's Dharma🙏Momma Lovey Peace]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 17:11:28 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0e68ab8e-25fc-4690-8096-34a1089a52cc_1376x768.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Why Type-A, high-sensing feelers face 40+ leaky body barriers and C-PTSD in a locked Cell Danger Response&#8212;and the natural protocol to reclaim biological stillness.</strong></p><p>Be mindful to follow me here on Substack so you don&#8217;t miss future shares, notes and live sessions.

During this final year, I will be certifying souls who complete the DBM-5 framework and want to teach it to others.</p><p><strong>Mould, microbiome, it&#8217;s not mental illness or menopause Monday.</strong> Why do our gene markers get suppressed even when we treat our body like a temple and not trash?</p><p>Are you eating clean, living clean, a stress-cleaner with clean labs and still completely exhausted, bloated or drowning in a broken healthcare system?</p><p>For years, I did everything &#8220;right&#8221;. I loved my liver, prioritized my microbiome and followed the strict rule, no leftovers and if it doesn&#8217;t go in the compost bin, it doesn&#8217;t go within or on our human animal. Yet, I was still dying inside.</p><p>What I discovered changed my life and it will change yours: your worth is not in the push. It is in the <strong>pause and the paws</strong> for your human animal.</p><h3>The Canary in the Coal Mine</h3><p>Many of us who are type-A, sober vegan athletes, healers and high-sensing feelers are actually biological prophets. We became the &#8220;third parent&#8221; to emotionally unavailable parents, which conditioned us into a lifetime of people-pleasing, problem-solving and a perma-smile.</p><p>But our bodies are highly tuned. We hear, smell, feel and sense everything. We are warning systems for environmental danger, toxic souls, mould and sick building syndrome. Because many of us were born into a toxic womb to a stressed mother, we inherited her high-alert nervous system.</p><p>By age 40, this constant state of threat leaves us with 40+ leaky body barriers (including leaky gut) and a locked Cell Danger Response. Chronic stress is the root of all dis-ease.<br>I needed glasses at age 40, leaky eyes and I no longer need glasses at 59.5 and my cells are 41.</p><h3>Returning to Biological Stillness</h3><p>If you have lived with a bloated belly, insomnia, acute pain, deep exhaustion or misophonia (a high sensitivity to sounds that signals the brain into a state of panic), you are not alone. When I was in crisis and near death and the broken OHIP system in Ontario could not help me, I stopped pushing. I chose biological stillness for 40 days in bed.</p><p>In today&#8217;s deep dive episode of the podcast, I share the exact frugal protocol that saved my life. No man-made synthetic medications, no hidden fees and no toxic side effects.</p><p>We break down the foundational pillars of the DBM-5 (Dee&#8217;s Biological Map):</p><ul><li><p><strong>The Deep Reset:</strong> A 3-week water and tea fast with a quarter-teaspoon of baking soda while resting in bed and allowing the emotional release of crying.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Physical Biohacks:</strong> Utilizing infrared sauna blankets, red light therapy, grounding mats, vibration plates, portable massagers and yoga benches to calm the nervous system. All listed in my zen den on amazon linked on the homepage.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Jungle Juice Microbiome:</strong> Building extreme bacterial diversity by delivering 25 to 30 different organic strains per week using green powder, clean water and vegan protein.</p></li></ul><p>Healthcare should be accessible to everyone, which is why I never charge for health information.</p><p>Let&#8217;s step out of the cell danger response and begin your biological stillness today.</p><p>Sending loving kindness from Canada&#8217;s capital, <br><strong>Dee</strong></p><p><strong>Listen to the full episode on Spotify:</strong> </p><iframe class="spotify-wrap podcast" data-attrs="{&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6765630000ba8a6f2d97285cfeb40b7418f58d&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Dying Inside with Clean Labs: Dee's DBM-5 Map&#128591;&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;De-Stress with Momma Lovey Dee | Soul Peace Doula&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Episode&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.spotify.com/episode/3kEAfgd73Q6tFCO4yu7kQq&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;noScroll&quot;:false}" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/episode/3kEAfgd73Q6tFCO4yu7kQq" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allowfullscreen="true" allow="encrypted-media" loading="lazy" data-component-name="Spotify2ToDOM"></iframe><p><strong>Join the Community:</strong> If you want to dive deeper into biological stillness, join our conscious community at<a href="http://(skool.com/peacefulu-8840/about"> </a><strong><a href="https://www.skool.com/peacefulu-8840/about">PeacefulU on SKOOL</a></strong><a href="http://(skool.com/peacefulu-8840/about"> </a></p><p><em>Join 1.1% of the population raising peaceful, content children for addiction peace and a sugar-free life.<br>This is for those who treat our body like a temple, no toxic scents, jewellery, makeup, no swearing, no mental health terms as adjectives and leading a life of love.

From the two large glasses you drink to rehydrate your dehydrated cells upon waking to the cold water you splash on your pulse points to stop a histamine flare in its tracks, water is your primary biological medicine.</em></h4><div><hr></div><p><strong>SOS: Soothing Our Souls &amp; Saving Our Soil</strong></p><p>For the Rare Birds, the Sober Sunflowers and the Health Detectives.</p><p>This is for the firstborns&#8212;those who have spent a lifetime mothering the world, now learning how to mother our own soul, cells and soil after a lifetime of trauma and stored toxins in our tissues since the womb.</p><p>We have spent a lifetime in Cell Danger Response, being hunted by predators.</p><p>We are taking our peace back, loving our cells and leaky bodies and soothing our souls back to health. </p><p>When you live with CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome), MCAS, have the MTHFR &amp; HLA-DR gene and with histamine overload you are a &#8220;canary in the coal mine.&#8221;</p><p>In our Non-Toxic Nest, we don&#8217;t put anything on or in our human animal if it doesn&#8217;t fit the <strong>Compost Rule</strong>: if it doesn&#8217;t go in the compost bin, it doesn&#8217;t go in or on our skin.</p><p>This is what I have been using for decades as my daily antibiotic. </p><p>If I feel something coming on, I take two servings&#8212;one tablespoon in the morning and one with my last tea of the day. We only drink fluids made by the sun; it is the only &#8220;energy drink&#8221; we need.</p><p>I have never had coffee and I even worked at the second cup in the 80&#8217;s when I was homeless.</p><p>We do not need it. My son has never had coffee either. When you wake up drink two large glasses of water because you are dehydrated after sleep.</p><p>With only 9% of waste being recycled globally, we must be the solution to Save our Soil.</p><p><strong>As Within, So Without.</strong></p><h3>&#9888;&#65039; THE SACRED DISCLAIMER</h3><p><strong>This is potent biological medicine. If you are taking any man-made synthetic medications, do not use the natural antibiotic tonic. It is powerful enough to interfere with pharmaceutical chemistry. This is for those who are currently medicine-free.</strong></p><h3>The Science of the &#8220;Energy Drink&#8221; Protocol</h3><p>Since we practice OMAD, the Buddhist way of eating, every liquid is a <strong>Biological Offering</strong>.  </p><p>We are feeding our cells the light and information they need to thrive. Here is why we choose these healing fluids:</p><p><strong>The Morning Green Tea, Apple Cider Vinegar &amp; Lemon Ritual:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>The Science:</strong> Green tea is rich in EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate), a powerful polyphenol that stabilizes mast cells&#8212;crucial for MCAS&#8212;and supports the MTHFR methylation pathway. Adding lemon juice provides Vitamin C, which acts as a co-factor to increase the bio-availability of the tea&#8217;s antioxidants by up to 13 times.</p></li></ul><p><strong>The Ritual:</strong> Use an old-style glass juicer to keep your process non-toxic and plastic-free.</p><p><strong>Frugal Tip:</strong> Keep using your loose leaf teas or tea bags until the colour runs clear; those later steeps continue to provide vital hydration and subtle minerals.</p><p><strong>The Smile &amp; Soul Tip:</strong> To protect your enamel&#8212;especially important for keeping all your original teeth and wisdom teeth as I have at 59.5&#8212;always use a metal straw. Don&#8217;t swoosh your tea around your teeth; instead, sip and swoosh it in your cheeks if you wish before you swallow. We are mindful when we eat and drink now for the <strong>Sacred Pause</strong>.</p><p>These are gifts from Mother Nature. If you can enjoy your tea and meal while looking out a window at the trees or the sky, it is lovely for the nervous system too. Sending gratitude in this moment for this healing tea from Mother Earth.</p><p>Sip from the side of your mouth to ease the repetitive motion that causes wrinkles above the lip, preserving your &#8220;calling card&#8221; perma-smile. I am blessed with an upside smile on top of my upper lip too (-;</p><p><strong>The Supergreens Boost:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>The Science:</strong> For the HLA-DR detective, chlorophyll and probiotics help bind to biotoxins in the gut so they can be excreted rather than recirculated. Adding it to hot water (not boiling) increases solubility and eases the digestive load on a &#8220;leaky&#8221; gut.</p></li></ul><p><strong>The ACV Rule:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>The Science:</strong> Apple Cider Vinegar contains acetic acid which improves insulin sensitivity and stomach acid pH. However, if it has &#8220;The Mother,&#8221; it is a living probiotic.</p></li><li><p><strong>Note:</strong> Boiling water kills the living beneficial bacteria (the microbiome &#8220;workers&#8221;) your system needs to fight histamine overload. Use warm water only with a capful in your teas.</p></li></ul><h3>The Natural &#8220;Antibiotic&#8221; Tonic</h3><p>This is our foundation for navigating chronic flares without synthetic interference.</p><p><strong>The Science of the Roots</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Garlic:</strong> Contains Allicin, which is nature&#8217;s broad-spectrum antibiotic and antifungal. It helps the MTHFR body produce glutathione&#8212;the master antioxidant.</p></li><li><p><strong>Ginger:</strong> A potent inhibitor of pro-inflammatory cytokines. It moves the body out of Cell Danger Response by soothing the Vagus nerve and reducing internal heat.</p></li><li><p><strong>Turmeric (The Golden Healer):</strong> Contains Curcumin, the &#8220;master switch&#8221; for inflammation in CIRS and MCAS. If funds allow, add 3 to 4 inches of fresh turmeric root to this batch.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Daily Dosing</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>The Daily Handshake:</strong> 1 tablespoon of the liquid gold tonic in your healing tea. Don&#8217;t do more of a good thing, like I did. You will have loose stools.</p></li><li><p><strong>The SOS Pulse:</strong> One dose each morning and one more later in the day if you feel a &#8220;leaky&#8221; flare, MCAS trigger or illness coming on.</p></li></ul><p><strong>The Protocol</strong></p><ol><li><p><strong>In the Blender:</strong> 1 whole &#8220;naked&#8221; peeled garlic bulb, 2 large unpeeled ginger roots (and turmeric if available) with 2 cups of cooled, previously boiled water.<br>Cut away any dark mould parts on skin and the rest is still great. The skin is valuable for our cells.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Extraction:</strong> Strain through a cloth or strainer into a Mason Jar.</p></li><li><p><strong>The &#8220;Gold&#8221; Pulp:</strong> Spoon the leftovers into Stainless Steel Ice Cube Trays. Never use plastic; we cannot afford the xenoestrogens leaching into our medicine.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Zero-Waste Boost:</strong> Drop a frozen &#8220;pulp cube&#8221; into soup or a mug of boiling water for a fibre-rich, healing boost later.</p></li></ol><h3>The Ritual of Connection (Anxiety Release)</h3><p>For those healing from eating responses, the kitchen is often a &#8220;Shark Tank.&#8221; By using your hands to smash the garlic and shake the jar, you are parenting your inner child. </p><p>You are teaching your nervous system that food is safety, not a threat after a life time of food fears.  Our intelligent bodies were warning us of dangerous foods for our  body overloaded with toxins and traumas. </p><p>Hum when in the kitchen for your vagus nerve to move your body into parasympathetic stress.<br><br><a href="https://youtu.be/N13VoMsRbKc">In this Video Discover the science-backed truths about nutrition</a> <br><br>and how whole foods can transform your health!

For some of us, green tea can act as a <strong>DAO inhibitor</strong>, meaning it slows down your body&#8217;s ability to clear histamine.</p></li><li><p><strong>Listen to Your Human Animal:</strong> If you have ever had a severe reaction to green tea (like fainting or vomiting), your body is telling you its &#8220;bucket&#8221; is full. Trust that signal.</p></li><li><p><strong>The 40-Day Detox:</strong> During an active detox, your body is already busy moving old toxins out of your tissues. If you feel &#8220;leaky&#8221; or overwhelmed, simplify. Stick to pure, cooled water or ginger-only tea until your nervous system finds its <strong>Sacred Pause</strong>.</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3><strong>Is it safe?</strong></h3><ul><li><p><strong>Ginger &amp; Turmeric:</strong> Generally safe and actually help lower histamine and inflammation.</p></li><li><p><strong>Lemon &amp; ACV:</strong> These are <strong>histamine liberators</strong>. They aren&#8217;t high in histamine themselves, but they can &#8220;encourage&#8221; your mast cells to release it. If someone is in a severe MCAS flare, they should use these very cautiously or wait until they are more stable.</p></li></ul><p>You are doing the work of a warrior by mothering others while your own nerves are shot.<br><br>Please protect your own soil first today.<br><strong>Your worth is in the pause</strong>, not the push.</p><p><strong>Biological Stillness over the Shark Tank.</strong></p><p>We are soothing our stomachs (SOS),<br>saving our soil (SOS), <br>parenting our cells to Save Our Soul (SOS) after a lifetime of traumas by the system.</p><p>If it doesn&#8217;t

I shared pictures on Facebook and here in the Notes section of the rare 40-minute Agate sky the Universe shared with us 2 nights ago.</p><p>It was a &#8220;thin veil&#8221; moment&#8212;where the beauty of the natural world feels like a direct message or a hug from a loved one. This is the fifth year with a spectacular sunset but never one this long before.</p><p>I think my Mom was celebrating because we made it to the finish line by uncovering the root cause for our health detective brains. We finally know why the system fails us by saying it is mental health.</p><p>It is NOT. Your anxiety, bipolar, depression, PTSD, C-PTSD, panic attacks, fainting, low blood pressure, collapsed muscles, brain fog, internal bleeding, bloated buddha belly and lifelong insomnia is environmental injury. It is the poisoning of stored trauma and toxins in our tissues since the womb.</p><p>Driven by chronic stress and the cell danger response and then add in how most of us reading were parentified and petrified. Suffering from lifelong sexual abuse, narcissist abuse&#8212;we were the third emotional parent to our parents with an absent father.</p><p>We have been mothering the world and now you MUST start mothering your inner child aka soul.</p><p>We are the strong shy survivors and our 40+ leaky barriers are broken. As Above. So Below.</p><p>On May 5 Claire Elyse Brosseau&#8217;s story broke. Shawn in our Sangha sent this to me asking if I could help a woman seeking the same exit as my Mom because the system has labelled her &#8220;unbearable suffering&#8221; as solely mental.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/maid-legislation-mental-illness-9.7187511">Toronto woman seeks MAID exemption as mental illness exclusion remains | CBC News</a></strong></p><p>This is just like my brand new doctor out of school and eight years of tests wondering why I couldn&#8217;t reverse my fatty liver once I dropped the booze, sugar cans and fun foods.</p><p>I am here to tell Claire and all of you &#8220;canaries in the coal mine&#8221; that the suffering is real but the label is wrong. It isn&#8217;t mental; it is environmental poisoning.</p><p>I lived it for 58 years. I was the primal personal trainer who did everything right but ended up with a cane and internal bleeding while doctors told me my labs were &#8220;clean&#8221;. I almost died more than once because the hospital only has the tools to heal bones, not biology.</p><p>I found my way back through the Bodhiberry Peace Tree Method. I stopped treating labels and started cleaning my &#8220;toxic container.&#8221; My insomnia, pain and bloat vanished when I addressed the root: mould, toxins and stored trauma.</p><p>To Claire and my community: I just opened a PeacefulU community on Skool to honour my mom and to mother the unmothered. My DBM-5 is the Buddhist way of healing through an autophagy lifestyle that is frugal and fast but done slowly.</p><p>If you are an HSP, you hear everything, smell everything, feel everything and sense everything. We have a gene in our brain that connects misophonia&#8212;a high sensitivity to sounds&#8212;to wanting to expire before we desire.</p><p>Claire, your human animal cannot heal in the toxic spaces making you sick. <br><br>You can heal in the right environment. If it doesn&#8217;t go in your compost bin, it does not go on or in your skin.</p><p>Think of your cat. Would you give him a can of soda? Put jewellery on the pet, pierce it, put tattoos on it, feed it chips and cookies? These are all toxic to our human animal.</p><p>My heart is always open.<br>You are not alone. <br>I am mothering the unmothered and I am here to help in any way I can.<br><br>You are not a burden.</p><p>Find all my free healing tools at <strong>De-stress with Dee SOS</strong> on YouTube and Substack&#8217;s blog at <strong>Dee&#8217;s Dharma</strong>.</p><p>This is our latest video discussing the latest virus and how it affects those in Canada.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DA32wH91S70M">Canada Health Alert: The Cruise Ship</a></strong></p><p>I will be addressing news topics that you send me here and share what is facts based on the latest science for our leaky body and brain.<br><br>I am only replying to messages on Linkedin and SKOOL as this is my last year online full time to finish your Buddhist Biohacker&#8217;s Bible and then I will rest in sacred peace on the Cabot Trail near my mentor Pema Chodron and a high school friend&#8217;s hostel.</p><p>I love you Sweet Soul.<br>Give me 40 days and in 2 - 3 days you should be sleeping soundly again once you have time for just you in a safe non-toxic nest.</p><p>The only person who can care for you is you and if you have kids you are damaging their cells by staying in toxic relationships causing a cell danger response.</p><p>More on Mother&#8217;s Day with my Mother&#8217;s Day wish for our Heart &amp; Earth Rebirth year. I will be sharing my top frugal healing tools and showing you how you can help seal leaky Mother Earth&#8212;just like your own leaky body and the cells of your kids.</p><p>There is a way to root yourself in love and safety.</p><p>Sending loving kindness from Canada&#8217;s Capital,</p><p>Momma Lovey Dee<br>Non-Toxic Mom to Noah in our Non-toxic nest and we have the Arc for anyone drowning

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>From &#8220;Keeping the Peace&#8221; to Repairing Our Internal Barriers</strong></h3><div><hr></div><p>Memorable Monday Musings: What was on YOUR wall?<br><br>If you close your eyes, can you still smell the Love&#8217;s Baby Soft you used before school? Or maybe the scent of that one favourite lip gloss? &#129392;</p><p>There is something so powerful about realizing that the &#8220;investigator&#8221; in me wasn&#8217;t born in a lab or a clinic. It was born in a bedroom filled with posters of athletes and detectives while I was searching for my own &#8220;why.&#8221;</p><p>My &#8220;Great Wall of the &#8216;70s and &#8216;80s&#8221; was a mix of perma-smiles and performance. Looking back, the clues to my life&#8217;s mission were always pinned to those walls:</p><ul><li><p><strong>The Athletes:</strong> Nadia Com&#259;neci and the gravity-defying Mikhail Baryshnikov. I was mesmerized by the discipline, the focus and the grace of movement. &#129336;&#8205;&#9792;&#65039;&#129648;</p></li><li><p><strong>The Detectives:</strong> The Hardy Boys and Charlie&#8217;s Angels. I&#8217;ve always loved a good mystery, trying to answer why people do what they do. &#128269;</p></li><li><p><strong>The Musical Souls:</strong> The Bay City Rollers, Donny &amp; Marie and the Osmonds, Sonny &amp; Cher, Supertramp and Madonna. I was drawn to those &#8220;tortured poets&#8221; and soothing harmonies that felt like a hug for the heart. &#127926;</p></li><li><p><strong>The &#8220;Dream&#8221; Families:</strong> I loved the shows <em>Family</em>, <em>The Waltons, The Brady Bunch</em> and <em>Eight Is Enough</em>. I couldn&#8217;t understand how large families got along when my tiny family of 4 was rooted in chaos.&#128591;</p></li></ul><p>Tucked between those posters was my rosary. As a young girl who sang in the choir and assisted with weddings, I spent many nights kneeling beside my bed&#8212;not because my home was a sanctuary, but because I was creating one.</p><p>In the midst of a childhood rooted in chaos rather than love, I spent those nights bartering with the Universe to help me find the root cause of the suffering around me.</p><p>I would ask the darkness: <em>Why didn&#8217;t Dad want to see his kids? What did I do so wrong that made me unlovable?</em> &#127761;&#128255;</p><p>Looking back, I see that the <strong>Peace Pathologist</strong> and Forensic practitioner were already waking up. I was investigating the &#8220;why&#8221; behind the pain even then, while the world was telling me to just be &#8220;logical.&#8221;</p><h3><strong>Repairing the Leaky Walls Within</strong></h3><p>Today, as a root-cause Buddhist biohacker, I&#8217;ve moved from &#8220;keeping the peace&#8221; to finding it within our biology. I&#8217;ve traded those paper posters for a deep dive into our <strong>biological walls.</strong></p><h3><strong>The &#8220;Mould Magnet&#8221; in Our Environment</strong></h3><p>In my work, we focus on the &#8220;leaky&#8221; barriers that often begin to crumble after age 40. Just like the walls of a home that are leaking, our internal &#8220;fences&#8221; need maintenance to keep us safe and sound.</p><p>But we must also look at the physical walls around us. If you are living under a flat roof, be mindful&#8212;these can often become a &#8220;mould magnet&#8221; if they aren&#8217;t properly maintained. Just as a leaky roof invites toxins into your sanctuary, a leaky biological barrier invites inflammation into your body.</p><p>For the high-sensing soul, a &#8220;non-toxic nest&#8221; isn&#8217;t just a luxury; it is a biological necessity for peace. When we repair the flat roofs and the leaky walls of our external environment, we give our internal barriers the space they need to heal and find their rhythm again.<br><br>We have over 40 of these barriers, including the <strong>Gut Axis</strong>, the <strong>Blood-Brain Barrier</strong> and our <strong>Lung, Skin and Joint Barriers.</strong></p><p>When these internal walls become leaky, we lose our rhythm. We feel &#8220;logical&#8221; but disconnected. My mission remains the same: saving the lives of those drowning with a life-threatening &#8220;leaky body&#8221; by repairing those internal walls so they can stop &#8220;leaking&#8221; energy and start living with a soulful, non-attached love.</p><h3><strong>Rooted in Love</strong></h3><p>As I look back on those &#8220;posters and prayers,&#8221; I realize I am no longer just a seeker of peace. I have found the &#8220;why&#8221; I was searching for because my moments are now filled with the deepest love I have ever known: the love for my own inner child.</p><p>By honouring my unique biology and repairing those internal walls, I am finally resting in peace. After a lifetime of insomnia rooted in the leaky chaos of the past, I have finally found the gift of deep, restorative sleep.<br><br>What poster defined the &#8220;younger you&#8221;? <br>Looking at what you were attracted to then... have you found your &#8220;why&#8221; yet?</p><p>Are you ready to stop seeking and start resting? <br>&#128156;&#129392;&#9774;&#65039;&#127758;&#128591;</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Sending Loving Kindness from Canada&#8217;s Capital,<br>Dee<br>Momma-Lovey Peace<br></strong><em>DestresswithDee

Mental Health Awareness, but from a functional perspective, we must address the &#8220;Environmental Injury&#8221; and poisoning.</p><p>Many of us are &#8220;Petrified Athletes&#8221;&#8212;Type A, high-achieving firstborn fixers who have lived in a state of high tension since the womb.</p><p>We were raised to push, to perform and to be the &#8220;third parent.&#8221; </p><p>This chronic stress creates a body that is stuck in a &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; response called the Cell Danger Response and CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) driven by chronic stress.</p><p>It is not burnout. You are not a machine. Your human animal needs biological stillness to feel safe to heal.</p><p>This is often why, despite &#8220;doing all the things,&#8221; you may still struggle with a bloated, hard belly.</p><h2>The Power of the Soft Belly</h2><p>My journey into biological stillness began with a week-long silent retreat with Susan Child in 2017 when I took my power back from addictions to rest in peace now.<br><br>She taught me a phrase that changed my life: <strong>&#8220;Soft Belly.&#8221;</strong></p><p>For the gymnast, the runner or the dancer, &#8220;holding it in&#8221; is a survival mechanism. But true healing begins when we fall in love with our inner child and allow that belly to soften.<br><br>Your stillness is your strength.</p><p>When we move out of the Shark Tank and into biological stillness, we allow our bodies to finally use natural binders to detox what no longer serves us.</p><h2>Functional Tea Tips for the Professional Ritual</h2><p>De-stressing is a biological necessity, not a luxury that I teach on our first semester at Skool with 155 future Soul &amp; Soil Growth Peace Doulas using the BodhiBerry Peace Tree Method.</p><p>Our community is for those who are sober, holistic and med free many of us had our tonsils out before we were 2 and are divorced parents with sick kids. <br><br>If you are drowning with an overheated leaky body and no one understands what is going on with you, you are likely losing your mind and your hope. <br><br>I give you the tools to heal yourself with the DBM-5 frugally, fast and at a slow pace.</p><p><strong>Reply to this email if you wish to know more.</strong></p><h2>The Lunar Reset</h2><p>Tonight is a Full Moon. I&#8217;ll be setting out my filtered water to catch those lunar rays. It&#8217;s a simple, zero-cost way to reset your intentions and energy for the month ahead.</p><p>Your worth is not in the push. It is in the pause. &#128591;</p><p><strong>Note for my HSP readers:</strong> <br><br>If you are currently in a state of high tension and find reading difficult, you can listen to this article directly through the Substack app.<br><br>Look for the headphone icon to let the words wash over you instead.</p><p>True stewardship starts within.<br><br>When we refuse what isn&#8217;t compostable, we stop the toxic flush into our bodies and our soil.<br><br>We are the living solution to the global recycling crisis.</p><p>I will not be online in a year once the book is out because electronics cause harm to HSPs and our peaceful energy.<br><br>Join us now while the digital door is still open.</p><p>Seal the leaks. Find your stillness.</p><p>Sending Loving Kindness from Ottawa, remember:</p><p><strong>You are love</strong> <strong>You are peace</strong> &#128591;</p><p>You are the medicine for your human animal.</p><p>As within, so without. &#127765;&#128167;</p><p>Dee<br>Non-Toxic Mom to Noah in our non-toxic nest for c-ptsd peace on a poisonous

to save our soil before March 2027</strong></p><p>Dear Sweet Sober Souls and Seekers of Peace,</p><p>Yesterday we established the compost rule on Microbiome, Mould, Mental Health, Menopause &amp; Mother Earth Monday (I love alliterations).</p><p>If you can&#8217;t put it in your bin you don&#8217;t put it in your body.</p><p>Today we look at the trauma that makes us ignore that rule.</p><p>As HSP &#8220;oops babies&#8221; and firstborn fixers we were programmed to soothe the world.</p><p>We took on the &#8220;Firstborn Flush&#8221;&#8212;the literal and emotional toxins passed down through the womb.</p><p>We grew up into high-achievers pushing our human animals (my name for mine is Sunny Dee) to the brink in toxic gyms and airtight offices.</p><p>We are too proud to ask for help while we drown in a leaky inflamed body and brain.</p><p>This is not a mental health crisis.</p><p>It is an environmental injury and poisoning for me.</p><p>We must affect change by March 17 2027.</p><p>This is the date when the system will allow us to expire before we desire based on &#8220;mental&#8221; grounds.</p><p>We cannot let environmental poisoning be the silent reason for that choice when the root cause is the fast things we put in and on our body and in our home.</p><p>Who we love and the air we breathe is toxic.</p><p>For the divorced single mom we are the most stressed on the planet because we are doing 3 jobs to make the same as a man does because the father won&#8217;t pay what he should by law for child support.</p><p>We don&#8217;t have the money to fight the legal system.</p><p>So we push harder as a gogo perfectionist never asking for help.</p><p>You are in a cell danger response so you are unable to relax while watching a show because there is always something to do.</p><p>This is why we relax de-stressing as stress cleaners for our sanctuary and cozy nest.</p><p>It is time for the sacred pause/paws.</p><p>Detox your womb and your walls.</p><p>Build your non-toxic nest.</p><p>When we soothe our soul we save our soil.</p><p>Mother Earth thrives when we stop the push and start the repair.</p><p>Thank you to the community and mentors like Sarah Roberts who was the first person to share with me that we should name our human animal.</p><p>When I graduated from a 3 year eating disorder program in half the time I learned a tool to talk to my inner child. Thank you Isabelle for that beautiful tip.</p><p>I let Little Dee know that I have finally shown up for her and I am giving her the love she was seeking in others.</p><p>My life is full and I will be ending my days solo leading a life of service because I have spent a lifetime caring for others and still do.</p><p>The rest of my moments are filled with pausing in stillness with pure joy and childlike wonder now that my lifelong fear is gone knowing the root cause of my issues</p><p>Watch the Deep Dive  and learn the top professions for mould illness, what is sick building syndrome and how everything is connected. <br>Just like you and me :)</p><div id="youtube2-HnygdbQEE00" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;HnygdbQEE00&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/HnygdbQEE00?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p><br>The 60-Second Proof<br>https://youtube.com/shorts/lgq6t07rH4s<br><br></p><div class="poll-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;id&quot;:503515}" data-component-name="PollToDOM"></div><p><br>Sending Loving Kindness from Canada&#8217;s Capital<br>Dee<br>Non-Toxic Mom to Noah&#8217;s Non-Toxic Nest<br>If it doesn&#8217;t go in the compost, we don&#8217;t put it in our body.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leading with Soul Love: How “Alcohol Peace” Resets Your Biological Environment]]></title><description><![CDATA[A parents&#8217; guide to shifting from the Cell Danger Response to Deep Restful Peace.]]></description><link>https://deesdharma.destresswithdee.love/p/leading-with-soul-love-how-alcohol</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://deesdharma.destresswithdee.love/p/leading-with-soul-love-how-alcohol</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dee's Dharma🙏Momma Lovey Peace]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 26 Apr 2026 17:23:02 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!zB5z!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0ecd860a-679c-46aa-ad72-9e6419a47728_918x915.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>A parents&#8217; guide to shifting from the Cell Danger Response to Deep Restful Peace.</h3><div><hr></div><p>&#8220;We are taught to lead with love for everyone else, often by becoming a &#8216;servant&#8217; to their needs. But the real leadership begins with leading our own soul out of toxic energy. Staying in toxic, dark environments triggers a <strong>Cell Danger Response (CDR)</strong> that affects your cells and your children&#8217;s. The most loving act you can take is to remove yourself from the darkness. Today we are celebrating a member of Dee&#8217;s Dharma on <strong>4 days of Alcohol Peace!</strong> That is true soul leadership.&#8221;</p><div><hr></div><h3>The Myth of the &#8220;Selfless Servant&#8221;</h3><p>For decades, many of us&#8212;especially the parentified first-born fixers&#8212;have operated under a false narrative. We believed that to &#8220;Lead with Love&#8221; meant to be a silent observer of our own destruction. We did the dishes, we managed the household and we held the &#8220;Mickey Mouse&#8221; nights of white rum or the 60 oz weekends just to quiet the screaming in our souls.</p><p><strong>Mickey Mouse and I share a Birthday, and I drank a mickey of rum most nights for 30 years.</strong> Minus when I was pregnant. We thought we were protecting the peace. In reality, we were bartering with the universe, trading our biological health for a temporary, toxic quiet.</p><h3>The Biology of the &#8220;Dark Energy&#8221;</h3><p>When you remain in a toxic environment, your body isn&#8217;t just &#8220;stressed&#8221;&#8212;it is in a <strong>Cell Danger Response (CDR)</strong>. This is a metabolic shutdown. Your cells stop communicating, your mitochondria stop producing energy for growth and they go into a &#8220;defence&#8221; mode.</p><p>This isn&#8217;t just about you. Your children&#8217;s cells and souls are tuned into your frequency. When you are in biological lockdown, they feel the &#8220;dark energy&#8221; too. You cannot &#8220;clean eat&#8221; or exercise your way out of a toxic environment. You cannot &#8220;biohack&#8221; a soul-wound while you are still sleeping in a tent of tension.</p><h3>The Macro &amp; Micro Leak: As Above, So Below</h3><p>We must realise that our &#8220;fast fixes&#8221; don&#8217;t just stop at our skin. These fast foods, fast sugars and fast boozes are drowning Mother Earth in the same way they drown our cells. With only <strong>9% of materials being recycled globally</strong>, we are witnessing a planetary crisis&#8212;a <strong>leaky Mother Earth</strong>.</p><p>This isn&#8217;t a coincidence; it is a mirror. A leaky planet and a leaky body are connected. When we use toxic &#8220;fast&#8221; solutions to soothe our internal pain, we contribute to the external waste that is suffocating the environment. To heal one, we must begin to heal the other.</p><h3>The &#8220;Inside Job&#8221; of Alcohol Peace</h3><p>If you are currently self-soothing with &#8220;fast&#8221; toxins&#8212;fast food, fast sugar, fast booze and fast fashions&#8212;it is time to stop the self-sabotage. Your brain only knows what you tell it. If you are grabbing for that bottle, ask yourself the <strong>HALT</strong> questions:</p><ul><li><p><strong>H</strong>ungry?</p></li><li><p><strong>A</strong>ngry?</p></li><li><p><strong>L</strong>onely?</p></li><li><p><strong>T</strong>ired?</p></li></ul><p>Those aren&#8217;t cravings. Those are inner child wounds that need to be nurtured, not drowned.</p><h3>Celebrating the Milestone</h3><p>True soul leadership is what we are seeing today in our community. One of our own at <strong>Dee&#8217;s Dharma</strong> is now <strong>4 days into her Alcohol Peace journey</strong>. She is no longer bartering. She is finally showing up for her inner child&#8212;the soul that has been waiting 50 years (or 27 or 16) to be protected. She is telling her cells: &#8220;We are safe now.&#8221;</p><h3>Protecting the Nest</h3><p>Earth Day is every day, but the most important environment you will ever manage is the one inside your skin. Unless you are an &#8220;Oops Baby&#8221; who was the 3rd parent, you must parent your own soul and cells to find <strong>C-PTSD Peace</strong> and rest in peace now in your moments.</p><p>Remove the dark energy. Draw the boundary. Finally, allow yourself the deep, restful sleep that comes when you stop being a servant to the toxic and start being a leader of your own light. You aren&#8217;t a &#8216;disorder&#8217;&#8212;you are a <strong>High-Sensing Person</strong> responding to a toxic Matrix.</p><p>As an <strong>Oops Baby Firstborn Fixer</strong>, your body has been carrying the burden for too long. Let&#8217;s seal the 40+ leaky barriers and return to your natural design.</p><p>I am here for you. If you are suffering and you want to stop, reach out. We lead with love, starting from the inside out.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Sending Loving Kindness from my heart to yours,</strong> <br><strong>Dee</strong> <br><em>Non-Toxic Mom to Noah&#8217;s Non-Toxic Nest in a Toxic World.</em> <br><em>Earth Age 59.5 &amp; Cellular Age 41</em></p><p><strong>The System Calls it Mental.

without</strong>&#8212;is the foundation of my work in environmental health. <br><br>The current state of our Earth is being mirrored directly in our own microbiomes. <br><br>When we look at the &#8220;atom&#8221; level of our health, we see that our cells are in a constant, invisible dialogue with our surroundings.</p><p>If the environment is toxic, the <strong>Cell Danger Response</strong> remains activated, regardless of our genetic potential. <br><br>If your &#8220;nest&#8221; is toxic&#8212;through the food you eat, the air you breathe, the water you drink or even the heavy Soul energy you surround yourself with&#8212;your Cell Danger Response (CDR) stays &#8220;on.&#8221; It&#8217;s a biological lockdown that ignores your genetic potential in favour of survival.</p><p>This is the root of the &#8220;alphabet soup&#8221; of chronic illness:</p><p>HLA-DR: When these markers are present, your body is &#8220;blind&#8221; to environmental toxins.</p><p>CIRS: The persistent inflammation that follows when toxins can&#8217;t leave.</p><p>MCAS &amp; Histamine Overload: Your mast cells (the guards) stay on high alert, dumping histamine because they never receive a signal of safety.<br><br>Understanding markers like HLA-DR and MTHFR isn&#8217;t just about reading a report; it&#8217;s about understanding how to return the body to a state of peace.</p><p>At 59.5 years old with a cellular age of 41, I am living proof that we can rewire this connection.</p><p>You are nature. Let&#8217;s learn to navigate your biological map together.</p><p>Sending Loving Kindness from Canada&#8217;s Capital, <br>Dee<br>Wishing you peaceful stools, sleep, cells, soil &amp; Soul, It&#8217;s all connected.</p><p>Want to dive deeper into why our microbiome is reflecting the state of the planet? <br><br>Listen to the latest episode on Spotify where I break down the root cause of this environmental reflection.</p><iframe class="spotify-wrap podcast" data-attrs="{&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6765630000ba8a6f2d97285cfeb40b7418f58d&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Is

distracting your depression, this letter is for you. <br><br>It was never all in your head. The &#8216;firstborn daughter&#8217; narrative is usually about personality: <br>the bossy one, the responsible one, the sensitive one, the woo woo one, the little mother. <br><br>But for the High Sensing firstborn, it&#8217;s physiological. <br><br>Your bloated belly is SIBO, stored traumas and toxins in your tissues since birth. <br><br>When we eat clean, constipation is often a nervous system in chronic stress&#8212;too petrified to release&#8212;while loose stools are the body&#8217;s response to something toxic in a toxic environment. <br><br>As a personal trainer and athlete, I lived with a &#8216;bloated Buddha belly&#8217; for 40 years, even through anorexia.</p><p>We&#8217;ve been told we are &#8216;broken&#8217; by the DSM-5, but this Firstborn Friday, we are looking at the <strong>DBM-5 (Dee&#8217;s Biological Map)</strong>.<br><br>It is time to stop treating your body like a trash can and treat it like the temple it is.<br><br>How we treat our bodies is a reflection of how we are treating Mother Nature.<br><br>We are dismantling the &#8220;Nine Percent Deception&#8221; and looking at the truth of <strong>Environmental Poisoning</strong>.</p><p><strong>In today&#8217;s Deep Dive, you will learn:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>The 5 D&#8217;s:</strong> How to De-Stress, Detox, De-bloat, Declutter to finally find deep sleep with C-PTSD peace on a poisonous planet.</p></li><li><p><strong>The &#8220;Canary&#8221; Reality:</strong> Why firstborn daughters feel the toxicity of this earth first and how to stop being invisible to the system.</p></li><li><p><strong>Microbiome and Mother Earth:</strong> The direct link between misophonia, menopause and the poisoned air we breathe inside and out.</p></li><li><p><strong>The MAID Mission:</strong> Why I am fighting to change Canadian laws before &#8220;mental health&#8221; is used as a reason to expire those who are actually environmentally poisoned.</p></li></ul><p>You are Nature. And nature can heal but not in the same environment that made it sick.</p><p>It is time to stop being the &#8220;parentified&#8221; people pleasing child who fixes everyone else and start being the sovereign woman who heals herself and her anxious kids.<br><br>Your worth is not in the push. </p><p>It is the pause.</p><p>Your cells and souls are waiting for you to parent them back to safety. <br><br>It can not happen in a go go go sympathetic stressed state.  You are causing harm to your cells keeping them in a cell danger response.</p><p>How you treat your Soul determines the health of your cells, anxiety, sleep and the health of Mother Earth. <br><br>It is all connected. <br><br>We are dismantling the 'Nine Percent Deception' because our addictions to man-made meds and toxic 'fixes' are responsible for 90% of the toxic waste in our bodies and on our planet.<br><br>Learn why we heal only using mother natures medicine cabinet. My method does not work if you take man made meds, they are toxic to our microbiome and cells.<br><br>It is time to stop the dismissal. We are not &#8220;wild of mind&#8221; without cause; we are reacting to a world that has forgotten how to be non-toxic.</p><p>I have never relied on man made meds in 45 years and at 59.5 I have all my original body parts, even my wisdom teeth.</p><p>Only my tonsils were removed at 6 months because I was born in a toxic womb in toxic walls as a firstborn daughter.</p><p>&#8220;What is happening to the Earth is happening to our bodies.&#8221;</p><p>Learn more on YouTube how to heal yourself and this Spotify deep dive:<br><br>Sending Loving kindness from Canada&#8217;s

cells and soil is causing our planet and our bodies to overheat and leak</strong></h2><p>Dear Peaceful Hearts,</p><p>Today is <strong>Earth Day 2026</strong> and I am coming to you with a heart that is heavy, yet burning with a hopeful fire. This might be my last Earth Day with you if we cannot change the laws in this coming year. <br><br>As many of you know, I have been living on $100 a month for food since the fall of 2024, getting weaker physically while my spirit grows more determined.</p><p>My son Noah and I spoke recently, as this is our last year under one roof. I asked myself: <br>in this final stretch, would I rather be relaxing my toes in the sand or keep fighting for the <strong>Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs)</strong> of the world? <br><br>Noah knew the answer before I said it&#8212;I will keep fighting on every day I have the energy. </p><div id="youtube2-HnygdbQEE00" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;HnygdbQEE00&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/HnygdbQEE00?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p><br>This video, this message, is my legacy. <br>Please share it. <br><br>People are dying by suicide because they think something is &#8220;wrong&#8221; with them. There is nothing wrong. Our bodies are biological instruments warning us of environmental danger.</p><blockquote><h3><strong>&#128269; For the Health Detectives &amp; Matrix-Breakers</strong></h3><p>For those of you who live for the deep dives&#8212;the truth-seekers who need the hard facts and the science of how things <em>actually</em> work outside the matrix&#8212;this is for you. <br>We are connecting the dots between broken global systems and your internal biology.</p><p>If you need the &#8220;receipts&#8221; on how our environment is being engineered against our physiology, listen to the full deep dive on YouTube or <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1nUZsh1hY8UJxXo0LWggk2">Spotify</a>.</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><strong>The Overheating Earth and the Leaky Body</strong></h3><p>We have been sold a &#8220;circular&#8221; dream since the 1980s that was nothing more than a marketing shield. <br><br>The truth is that <strong>only 9% of recycling actually makes it back into the system</strong>. <br>The other 91%&#8212;the fast fashion, the plastic containers, the booze cans&#8212;is clogging our oceans, our soil and most importantly, our cells.</p><p>During this <strong>Stress Awareness Month</strong> and <strong>Addiction Awareness Month</strong>, we must realize that the chronic stress of the Earth is mirroring the chronic stress in our tissues. <br><br>We are witnessing a <strong>&#8220;Venus Syndrome&#8221;</strong> on the planet&#8212;a runaway greenhouse effect&#8212;and it is manifesting in our bodies as a <strong>Cytokine Storm</strong>. <br><br>We are living in energy-efficient &#8220;toxic containers&#8221;. <br><br>Our airtight windows keep the heat in but they also trap mould, mycotoxins and off-gassing plastics. <br><br>For the HSP and the <strong>Firstborn Daughter</strong>, these chemicals are breaching our 40 leaky body barriers and entering the womb. This isn&#8217;t just burnout&#8212;it is a biochemical SOS.</p><div><hr></div><h3><strong>Challenging the DSM-5 with the DBM-5</strong></h3><p>The system calls it &#8220;mental&#8221;. The Earth calls it environmental. It is time to move away from the DSM-5 and embrace the <strong>DBM-5 Protocol</strong> to address the <strong>5 M&#8217;s</strong> of the modern crisis:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Mould:</strong> The invisible gas from flooded basements that hacks the nervous system and triggers <strong>CIRS</strong>.</p></li><li><p><strong>Microbiome:</strong> Our internal garden that is being decimated by plastics and &#8220;man meds&#8221;.</p></li><li><p><strong>Menopause:</strong> Which is often actually <strong>MCAS</strong> and histamine overload from a lifetime of stored toxins.</p></li><li><p><strong>Mental Health:</strong> A label used to ignore the <strong>Cell Danger Response (CDR)</strong> and environmental poisoning.</p></li><li><p><strong>Mother Nature:</strong> Our only true medicine cabinet. We cannot heal in the same environment that made us sick.</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3><strong>The Toxic Occupational Landscape</strong></h3><p>If you are suffering in silence, look at where you spend your time. Our modern buildings are making us sick. From schools with flat roofs to planes filled with &#8220;bleed air&#8221; and hospitals mirroring parentified-child dynamics, our environments are forcing our bodies into sympathetic overdrive.</p><div><hr></div><h3><strong>The Way Home: The 5 D&#8217;s to Seal the Leaks</strong></h3><p>To my tribe of silent observers, those being discarded by a failing medical system: I see your bright light and your perma-smile. </p><p>You have the <strong>HLA-DR gene</strong>&#8212;you are the canary in the coal mine. We lead with love and we protect our own. Use the <strong>5 D&#8217;s</strong> to seal the leaks:</p><ol><li><p><strong>De-Stress:</strong> Activate your vagus nerve. Hum while you do the dishes; cats purr and we must too.</p></li><li><p><strong>Detox:</strong> Flush the lead, plastic and trauma stored in your tissues since birth with autophagy and red light.</p></li><li><p><strong>De-bloat:</strong> Heal the &#8220;environment belly&#8221; and seal your body barriers.</p></li><li><p><strong>Declutter:</strong> Turn your &#8220;trash can&#8221; home back into a temple.</p></li><li><p><strong>Deep Sleep:</strong> Achieve the ultimate goal of peaceful stools, peaceful sleep and a peaceful soul.</p></li></ol><div><hr></div><h3><strong>The Legacy Watch List</strong></h3><p>To see where we are headed if we don&#8217;t change the MAiD and disability laws by <strong>March 17 2027</strong>, please watch:</p><ul><li><p><em><strong>The Plastic Detox</strong></em><strong> (Netflix):</strong> To understand the fertility crisis and how plastics caused my 9 miscarriages.</p></li><li><p><em><strong>2073</strong></em><strong> (Prime Video):</strong> A glimpse of life outside the matrix.</p></li></ul><p>The love you are seeking is already yours. Stop setting yourself on fire to keep others warm and set your soul on fire instead. <br>Your relationships are dictated by your worth. Your relationship to Mother Earth, food, drink and other souls are all dictated by your sense of worth and unhealed father/mother wounds.<br><br>Parent your inner child and give it the love you wish you had growing up.</p><p><strong>Within as without. Inner peace = Outer peace = World peace</strong>.</p><p>With all my love,</p><p><strong>Momma Lovey Peace</strong> <br>Dee Anne Berry<br>Non-Toxic Mom to Noah&#8217;s Non-Toxic Nest in a toxic world.</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Addiction Peace Starts with the Parents]]></title><description><![CDATA["Your relationships dictate your worth."~ Dee Anne Berry]]></description><link>https://deesdharma.destresswithdee.love/p/addiction-peace-starts-with-the-parents</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://deesdharma.destresswithdee.love/p/addiction-peace-starts-with-the-parents</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dee's Dharma🙏Momma Lovey Peace]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 19 Apr 2026 23:01:25 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!84fK!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7964764a-17b7-49d6-bcc6-578605967a80_929x915.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Sober Soul Growth Sunday: 3,071 Days of Sovereignty</strong></h2><h3><strong>Addiction Peace, The &#8220;Lovebirds&#8221; Anniversary &amp; The Cellular Cost of Staying</strong></h3><p>Today is a sacred day in our nest. It is a day of triple celebration, reflection and the bittersweet beauty of transition.</p><p>Not only am I celebrating <strong>3,071 days</strong> since I reclaimed my power back from booze on Nov 21, 2017, but it is also my miracle son Noah&#8217;s 27.5-year half-birthday. Born after nine miscarriages because I had a toxic womb and a leaky body, he is truly my &#8220;heart with wings.&#8221;</p><p>Adding to the joy, today is the 3rd anniversary of Noah and his love. Witnessing their relationship right here in our non-toxic nest has been the greatest gift. They communicate, they lift each other up and they check in from 1&#8211;10 with each other. It is a family affair. It is the healthiest, most rooted relationship I have ever seen&#8212;because it was built on a foundation of peace.</p><div><hr></div><h3><strong>Addiction Peace Starts with the Parents</strong></h3><p>People ask me how Noah reached nearly three decades without a single drop or puff. <br>It wasn&#8217;t luck. It was a conscious, daily architectural build. I put a healthy fear of the cycle in him because I knew our <strong>HLA-DR</strong> genetics meant his body wouldn&#8217;t just &#8220;process&#8221; toxins&#8212;it would be hijacked by them.</p><p>But Addiction Peace isn&#8217;t just about substances. It is about our addiction to <strong>toxic souls.</strong></p><h3><strong>The Mother-Father Wound &amp; The CDR</strong></h3><p>Most of us stay in &#8220;heartless&#8221; relationships because we are subconsciously trying to heal a mother or father wound from our own first 1,000 days. We stay &#8220;for the kids,&#8221; not realizing that a heartless partner triggers a chronic <strong>Cell Danger Response (CDR)</strong> in everyone under that roof.</p><p>When you stay in toxicity, you teach your children&#8217;s cells that &#8220;survival mode&#8221; is love. <br>I stayed too long &#8220;taking notes&#8221; on narcissists, but the final lesson was this: </p><p><strong>You cannot heal a person committed to their own toxicity, but you can stop the damage to your future cells and soul.</strong></p><h3><strong>A Tip for Parents: Vulnerable Connection</strong></h3><p>If you want your children (especially boys) to share more, do something active with them. <br>Don&#8217;t just ask &#8220;how are you&#8221;&#8212;ask where they are from <strong>1&#8211;10 mentally and physically.</strong> </p><p>At our meals, we ask:</p><ol><li><p>What was the <strong>highlight</strong>?</p></li><li><p>What was the <strong>hard part</strong>?</p></li><li><p>What did you <strong>learn new</strong> today?</p></li></ol><p>Those of us with a love of learning have younger brains. At an Earth age of 59.5, my cellular age is 41&#8212;and I want that for you, too!</p><h3><strong>The Bittersweet Transition</strong></h3><p>In a few months, the lovebirds will fly the nest, moving five hours away to be closer to her family. I am soaking up every talk, hug, meal and Scrabble game we have left.</p><p>As I prepare for a solo life, I am looking for another <strong>&#8220;rare bird&#8221;</strong>&#8212;a non-toxic roommate who craves stillness. No scents, no booze, no processed foods, no swearing and no man-made meds that toxic-up our cells and keep us reactive.<br><br>I am looking for a fellow &#8220;silly goose&#8221; healer and stress-cleaner who has moved from being <em>parentified and petrified</em> to loving their own soul and loving living solo for many years to come. If you know anyone please let them know I have non-toxic nest for them :) </p><h3><strong>The Only Person Who Can Take Care of You is YOU</strong></h3><p>I&#8217;m righting the wrongs of the &#8220;cookies&#8221; I gave when I didn&#8217;t know better. <br><br>When we know better, we must do better for cellular and spiritual renewal. We use Mother Nature&#8217;s medicine cabinet to build roots that last 100+ years.</p><p><strong>Everything is connected.</strong></p><p>Sending loving kindness from Canada&#8217;s capital,<em><br>Dee<br>Mothering Unmothered cells &amp; soul.<br>Non-Toxic Mom to Noah for our nontoxic nest and yours. <br>Earth Age is 59.5<br>Cellular age is 41 and I want that for you too!</em></p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

feelers Friday&#8212;a day to remember that you are not &#8220;too sensitive&#8221; and you are never a burden.</strong></h2><p><strong>Dear Peaceful Heart,</strong></p><p>Come close and take a deep breath. It is <strong>First Born Friday</strong> and I want to ask you something: Are you actually an introvert or is your beautiful body just intuitively protecting you from a poisonous planet?</p><p>For the <strong>Sober HSE</strong> (Highly Sensitive Entity), life often feels like navigating a winter storm without a coat. We sense the shifting moods, the hidden chemicals and the heavy frequencies of modern life. If you feel exhausted today, please know it is not because you are weak; it is because you are feeling it all.</p><h3>What is an HSE vs an HSP?</h3><p>You may have heard the term HSP (Highly Sensitive Person), which usually describes those who need to withdraw to a quiet &#8220;cave&#8221; to recover.</p><p>But as an <strong>HSE</strong>, you are a &#8220;Sensitive Seeker.&#8221; Your spirit is wired to engage, lead and connect with the world (the Extrovert) but your body lacks the biological &#8220;filters&#8221; to keep the toxins out (the Sensitive). Because you are brave enough to be &#8220;out there,&#8221; you hit <strong>Cell Danger Response (CDR)</strong> faster.</p><p><strong>Sweet soul, you aren&#8217;t broken; you are a high-performance athlete running on contaminated fuel.</strong></p><h3>The First-Born Burden</h3><p>On this <strong>First Born Friday</strong>, we acknowledge the weight you&#8217;ve carried. As a parentified first-born, you spent your life doing everything right. You were the tiny fixer, the little protector and the one who held the whole family together. But while you were busy taking care of everyone else, your biology was taking notes.</p><p>The Mother/Father wound didn&#8217;t just leave a mark on your heart; it primed your nervous system for a permanent state of &#8220;danger.&#8221; When you add the <strong>MTHFR</strong> and <strong>HLA-DR</strong> genes to environmental poisons like PFAS, your &#8220;detox bucket&#8221; doesn&#8217;t just fill&#8212;it overflows.</p><h3>You are not the problem</h3><p>If you&#8217;ve been suffering in silence, feeling like a &#8220;burden&#8221; because of your brain fog or your &#8220;leaky body,&#8221; I need you to hear me: <strong>There is nothing wrong with you.</strong> You aren&#8217;t failing at wellness. You are a finely tuned instrument living in a dissonant, contaminated world.</p><p>I have released a deep-dive investigation into the <strong>700+ military bases</strong> harbouring toxic &#8220;Forever Chemicals&#8221; (PFAS). This isn&#8217;t just news; it is the missing piece of the puzzle for those of us told our physical distress was &#8220;just anxiety&#8221; or &#8220;mental illness.&#8221;</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxAy4kjJptc">Watch the full investigation here:</a><br></strong></p><div id="youtube2-QxAy4kjJptc" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;QxAy4kjJptc&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/QxAy4kjJptc?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p><strong><br></strong>Let&#8217;s protect our own.</p><p>We were born to be protectors and now it is time to use that strength to protect ourselves and our community. I&#8217;ve included a letter below to send to your local MP.<br>We are demanding that the <strong>NDDN Committee</strong> finish the study on military contamination.</p><p>It takes two minutes to send but for the first-borns and veterans suffering in silence, it could change everything.</p><div><hr></div><h3>&#9993;&#65039; The MP Letter Template</h3><p><strong>Subject:</strong> Urgent Action Needed on Contaminated Military Sites and Health Impacts</p><p><strong>Dear [MP&#8217;s Name],</strong></p><p>I am writing as a concerned citizen regarding the revelations about contaminated soil and PFAS &#8220;Forever Chemicals&#8221; on military bases across Canada. <br>Testimony from the NDDN Committee has highlighted alarming rates of MS, Parkinson&#8217;s and rare cancers among those living and working near these sites.</p><p><strong>I urge you to:</strong></p><ol><li><p>Support the resumption and completion of the NDDN Committee&#8217;s contamination study.</p></li><li><p>Ensure full transparency and public access to environmental data for these sites.</p></li><li><p>Advocate for medical and financial support for affected veterans and civilian families.</p></li></ol><p>Sincerely, <br><strong>[Your Name/Address]</strong></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>How are you really today, dear Heart?</strong> &#128156;</p><p>Share your number from 1&#8211;10 in the comments. If you feel like a burden this <strong>First Born Friday</strong>, please know that your presence is a gift to this tribe.<br><br>You are seen, you are heard and you are so deeply loved.</p><p>Sending

is treating you well, but whether are YOU treating your soul and your future cells well?</strong></p><p>Today marks 438 Sundays of choosing my cells over my addictions. </p><p>As we wrap up <strong>National Public Health Week</strong>, I am reminded that the greatest public health act we can perform is moving our own bodies out of Sympathetic &#8220;Machine Mode&#8221; and into a state of peace. You cannot heal the public until you nurture the person.</p><h3><strong>Stop Pathologizing Your Survival</strong></h3><p>Let&#8217;s get one thing straight: <strong>C-PTSD is a response to abnormal situations, not a disorder.</strong><br><br>You aren&#8217;t &#8220;broken.&#8221; Your body wasn&#8217;t &#8220;wrong&#8221; for being in survival mode; it was responding to a lack of a Safe Nest. <br><br>When we look at <strong>Black Maternal Health Week</strong>, we see how these systemic stressors force our biology into survival responses before we even have a voice.</p><p>We often wonder where our addictions and &#8220;guilty pleasures&#8221; began.</p><p><br>Look back. Those habits you are addicted to now?</p><p>They are likely the exact same treats your parents gave you to keep you quiet, to reward you or to comfort you. </p><p>We are not just craving the hit; we are trying to heal a Mother or Father wound with things that further deplete our cells.</p><blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

petrified firstborn athletes: we cannot outrun trauma. </p><p>I worked out too hard and lived in mouldy gyms because it was how I de-stressed. <br><br>If you cannot stop, it is an addiction. You might have clean labs but if you have a fatty liver and a damaged microbiome, your body is telling the truth your &#8220;Machine Mode&#8221; tries to hide.</p><h3><strong>The Biological Bottom Line</strong></h3><p>When you live in &#8220;Beast Mode,&#8221; you force a constant Sympathetic stress response. This &#8220;grind&#8221; is a distraction for depression. <br><br><strong>Release the shame.</strong> <br><br>Your survival habits kept you here, but they won&#8217;t take you where you&#8217;re going. <br><br>True rebirth requires every non-toxic choice for your soul&#8217;s renewal. Healing only happens when we move into the Parasympathetic state of rest so we can move into the next phases of the DBM-5 to detox, de-bloat, declutter for deep peaceful sleep.<br><br>Stop out running trauma and treating the wound with toxins. </p><p>Start nurturing your cells &amp; Soul to rest in peace in your moments. <br>The only person who can care for you is you. Not a pill. <br>You are nature and mother nature is your medicine cabinet.</p><p><strong>Namaste in PTSD</strong> <strong>Peace NOW.<br><br>Sending Loving Kindness from Canada&#8217;s

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To the parentified petrified problem solvers. The military-home survivors. The healers and feelers with the perma-smile.</p><p><strong>Welcome to Sober Soul Care Sunday.</strong></p><p>I see you. You lead with love and service but you are drowning because you&#8217;re too proud to ask for help. You&#8217;ve given up the booze, you eat organic, you stress-clean your home and your labs come back &#8220;clean&#8221;&#8212;yet you feel worse than ever.</p><p>You&#8217;re treading water and the doctors are telling you it&#8217;s &#8220;all in your head.&#8221;</p><p>This Easter, I am here to tell you: It is not mental. It is environmental. It is you pushing through the pain instead of pausing. Your worth is not in the push. It is in the Pause / paws.</p><p>Chronic stress drives your sympathetic nervous system&#8212;the fight, flight, freeze or fawn&#8212;into chronic inflammation for your cells and body. That anxiety you feel? It is neuroinflammation in your spine and brain.</p><p>You cannot begin to heal until your body knows it is safe to do so. Moving into a parasympathetic state is a choice and a practice. This is what I teach you: how to de-stress, detox, de-bloat and declutter for deep sleep, soul and cellular renewal.</p><p>There is a biological blueprint for cellular resurrection but you cannot &#8220;hustle&#8221; your way out of a cytokine storm. </p><p>There is a genetic link between Misophonia (sound sensitivity) and how our brains process environmental distress. </p><p>When your &#8220;womb and walls&#8221; are toxic, your genes cannot find peace. </p><p>I&#8217;ve been in that darkness. I&#8217;ve lived through decades of suicidal ideation that comes when your body feels like a cage, beginning at age 5.</p><p>I recently reached 4th out of 91st place in Daymond John&#8217;s Entrepreneur of Impact competition. </p><p>To continue, I had to travel&#8212;and with my history of Sick Building Syndrome and Mould Illness, I chose my &#8220;non-toxic nest&#8221; over a trophy because airplane air is very mouldy and toxic for leaky bodies.</p><p>Every ending is a rebirth. I will always choose Biological Stillness to protect my future cells and soul.</p><p>I reversed my own MS-type symptoms and internal bleeding in 4 months. No chemo. Just 3 weeks of biological stillness, baking soda fasting, autophagy lifestyle medicine, binders, showing up for my inner child aka soul who has been waiting for me to show up for her and 7 weeks of clearing the intergenerational lineage through my tears.</p><p>In this week&#8217;s new video on YouTube, I am deep-diving for my fellow health detectives into the <strong>Warburg Effect</strong>. <br><br>I implemented these protocols instinctively when I was in crisis in 2024, only recently learning the science behind how our cells &#8220;breathe&#8221; and use energy.<br><br>It ties perfectly into the message of Biological Stillness&#8212;we are moving our cells from a &#8220;fermentation/survival&#8221; state back into a &#8220;peace/oxygen&#8221; state.<br><br>If someone you love has had cancer and wants to know the root cause, this is for them.</p><p>When was the last time you cried the big cry and just kept on crying? In our trauma detox, tears are your medicine.<br><br>We live in a culture where tears are frowned upon but this is stored trauma and triggers that need to leave your body by letting go.</p><p>In 346 days, Canadian MAiD laws expand to &#8220;mental health.&#8221; We must reach the ones hanging on by a sliver of hope before they give up. <br><br>You are naturaleza and nature can heal in any environment but it cannot heal in the same environment that is making it sick.</p><p>My 5-star reviews are in: The 40-day trauma and toxin flush works.</p><p>Stop pushing peaceful heart. Start rooting.</p><p>Sending you Easter Blessings for your own cellular rebirth. If not now, when? In life we regret the things we didn&#8217;t do.</p><p>In loving kindness,</p><p><strong>Dee Anne Berry</strong> Earth Age 59.5 | Cellular Age 41</p><p>I am Rooting for you. I love you. <br>Share in the comments or ask yourself: how do you show yourself and your cells love, tenderness and grace each day?</p><div><hr></div><p><em>The link to this week&#8217;s deep dive on

on a mouldy military base.</p><p>We were &#8220;perfect&#8221; on the outside but inside, I was petrified. We were the &#8220;fixers&#8221; who silenced our own needs to keep the peace.</p><p><em><strong>To the parents reading this: please be mindful that each child is having a completely different experience with you. </strong></em></p><p><strong>In many families, the Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) are the ones being dismissed because they &#8220;feel&#8221; the environment so deeply that it disrupts the family&#8217;s preferred silence.</strong></p><p>The sacrifice of the &#8220;Good Girl&#8221; or &#8220;Good Boy&#8221; is the loss of the self. Today, I am reclaiming that self. </p><p>I am choosing the peace that doesn&#8217;t require me to be a &#8220;fixer&#8221; for a system that isn&#8217;t built to see me.</p><p>For me, my environment manifested as a lifelong battle: insomnia that started at age five, IBS and SIBO since the 80s, suicidal thoughts before I even knew what they meant and self-soothing with alcohol just to find a moment of sleep.</p><p>We are taught that our pain is mental. We are told our depression is a personal failing. But I am here to tell you: <strong>It is not mental. It is environmental.</strong></p><p><strong>From the toxic mould in our childhood bedrooms to the mother and father wounds that leave us susceptible to abusive relationships, our stools are keeping the score of our surroundings.</strong></p><p>In Canada, we are facing a terrifying shift where MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) is becoming the &#8220;solution&#8221; for those whose environments have made life unbearable.</p><p>We are being offered an exit before we are offered a clean environment, a detoxed liver or a healed lineage.</p><p>I am diving deeper into this story and how we reclaim our health from Cancer, MS and autoimmune issues.</p><p>I&#8217;ll be discussing the <strong>Warburg Effect</strong>&#8212;how cancer cells thrive on sugar and fermentation&#8212;and how something as simple as baking soda was used as far back as the 1940s to shift the internal environment.</p><p>You will learn how we do this while fasting in bed to rewire our nervous system, moving <strong>from the sympathetic (fight or flight) into the parasympathetic (rest and repair)</strong>. <br><br>We cannot heal anything until our bodies feel truly safe. The only thing you are doing for 40 days is finally taking care of you and renewing your cells.<br><br>You will learn the root cause of why cancer is being diagnosed earlier and the truth behind the rise in MS symptoms.</p><p>This First Born Friday, we stop the cycle of people pleasing.</p><p>The <strong>40-Day Womb &amp; Walls Flush</strong> isn&#8217;t just a detox; it&#8217;s an act of rebellion. It&#8217;s about reclaiming our livers from the toxins and the trauma. <br><br>We look at the liver, the lineage and the laws.</p><p>We choose to expire when we desire, not because our environment became a cage we couldn&#8217;t escape.</p><p>Today, on this Good Friday, I am asking you to stop being the sacrifice for everyone else.</p><p>I am mothering the unmothered today. <br>If you were the child who had to grow up too fast, you are seen. You are loved.</p><p>It&#8217;s not mental. It&#8217;s environmental. And you deserve to stay.</p><p>Lead with love and cellular peace,<br>Sunday represents more than a story; it is our <strong>Cellular Resurrection</strong>. </p><p>After the 40-day flush, we don't just return to 'normal'&#8212;we rise as brand-new biological beings, reclaiming our health, our liver and our right to stay.</p><p><strong>Love your liver and leave the liquor &amp;

hours.</strong></h3><p>&#8220;Have a love of learning.&#8221; &#128591;</p><p>That is the phrase I have whispered to myself every single morning for five decades. It is part of my loving-kindness prayers in the pre-dawn stillness, bathed in red light therapy while the rest of the world is still asleep.</p><p>It&#8217;s also the same blessing I sent my son, Noah, off to school with every day. In a world that often feels designed to overwhelm the sensitive, that love of learning has been my North Star.</p><p>It is what led me to understand that our struggle isn&#8217;t just &#8220;mental&#8221;&#8212;it&#8217;s environmental.</p><p><strong>I&#8217;ve spent 55 years paying attention to the invisible as a clariaudient.</strong><br><br>I&#8217;ve listened to the things others miss: the toxins in our "nests," the heavy frequencies of ancestral lineages and the way a congested liver and a damaged microbiome affects a leaky body and can drown a hopeful soul.<br><br>For the parentified HSP, the journey from C-PTSD to Peace feels like navigating a minefield on a poisonous planet. But I&#8217;ve heard the way through, and I&#8217;ve learned there is a path to the other side.</p><p>The BodhiBerry Peace Tree isn&#8217;t just a method; it&#8217;s a mission.</p><p>A few hours ago, I took a leap and entered the <strong>Entrepreneur of Impact</strong> competition. I didn&#8217;t make a public announcement. I just sent a few texts to those who have walked this path with me.</p><p><strong>In two hours, we jumped from 88th place to 11th.</strong></p><p>The momentum is a testament to the fact that people are waking up. We are tired of the toxins. We are ready to change Canadian laws. We are ready to heal our livers and our lineages so we can finally breathe.</p><p>Winning this competition provides a $25,000 grant and a global platform in <em>Entrepreneur Magazine</em> to amplify this message. We are currently sitting just outside the Top 10 and I am asking my fellow learners, healers and HSPs to help me bridge that gap.</p><p><strong>Will you cast a free daily vote for the mission?<br></strong><br><a href="https://entrepreneurofimpact.org/2026/de-stress-with-dee-aka-momma-lovey-peace">Vote Here Daily till Apr.1st</a></p><p><strong>Why it matters:</strong> <br>Every vote is a signal that we value biohacking for peace, not just performance.</p><p>It&#8217;s a vote for legislative change and for every HSP who has been told they are &#8220;too sensitive&#8221; and too much for this world.</p><p>I am not psychic; I have just been paying attention.<br>And right now, I&#8217;m paying attention to the incredible shift we are creating together.</p><p>With a love of learning and a heart for peace :-)<br>Sending Loving Kindness from Canada&#8217;s Capital,</p><p><strong>Dee <br>(Momma Lovey Peace)</strong></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a
