Myth vs Fact
The Myth:
I'm in the clear if I've already taken antibiotics for my UTI.
The Facts:
Antibiotics might clear the infection short-term, but without addressing the root cause the UTI can come back.
The Science:
UTI's don't just appear on their own. Some of the common root causes are things like:
- pH imbalance
- Dehydration
- Parasites
Without addressing these issues, your UTI can easily come back. Supporting your kidneys and urinary tract with natural remedies can help prevent this cycle from repeating.
An important thing to note, however, is if you have been fighting a UTI for awhile, it might be time to go visit your Doctor and get an antibiotic. Once you've done that, then you can start using supplements to start rebuilding a strong foundation in your urinary tract and kidneys.

Quick Win
An easy way to support urinary tract health is by eating half a cup of frozen blueberries each day or every other day. They help balance pH levels, kind of like cranberries, but way easier (and tastier) to enjoy regularly! Just 1/2 cup a day!

Resource Roundup:
If you’ve ever struggled with recurring UTIs or kidney stones, you’re not alone. Natural remedies like apple cider vinegar offers easy to incorporate support. Here are a couple of science-backed articles to help you feel confident and informed. I suggest using 1 to 3 tsp of Unfiltered Raw Apple Cider Vinegar with each meal, add to a little water and drink at the beginning of the meal (or after a few bites of food if your stomach is sensitive).

Intestinal Guard
Kills parasites. Kills unwanted bacteria, leaving the good bacteria to do its job. 1 dropper in the morning & 1 in the evening will help clean things up.

Cool Client Story
One of my clients kept getting urinary tract infections (UTIs), even after taking antibiotics and using natural supplements. They would go away for a week, then come right back. We looked at her diet and found out she wasn’t getting enough salt, specifically, the kind with trace minerals like pink Himalayan salt. When she tasted a small pinch, she said it tasted amazing. Her body was craving it! She started taking about 1/8 teaspoon each morning, and within five days, her energy came back, her body aches went away, and the UTIs stopped. Now she just checks in with her body; if the salt still tastes good, she knows she needs it. Real salt is amazing, not your regular table salt, throw that out, yuck!

Foundational Habits
Here are some tips for things you can do each day, from the comfort of your own home that will help you maintain good urinary system health:
- Drink a minimum of 8 oz of water every hour (but don't exceed 1 gallon daily).
- Add 1/8-1/4 tsp of mineral-rich salt (Redmond or Himalayan) to water in the morning or evening.
- Take anywhere from 1 tsp - 1 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar with meals (1-3x per day) to help balance urinary pH.
- Stay active. Movement helps flush the kidneys and urinary tract.
- And don't forget the 1/2 cup of blueberries (mentioned in the Quick Tip section above).
