Avoid excessive prenatal ultrasounds
WhatLimit ultrasound scans during pregnancy to the absolute minimum medically necessary, and refuse non‑essential 3D/4D entertainment scans.
WhenThroughout pregnancy; especially during the first trimester when organogenesis is most sensitive.
DoseNo more than 1–2 scans if pregnancy is low‑risk; avoid long sessions.
For whomAll pregnant women, particularly those with uncomplicated pregnancies.
WhyUltrasound raises fetal temperature and causes acoustic stress that can inhibit protein synthesis and trigger miscarriage or neurological harm.
CaveatsNot suggesting zero monitoring; in high‑risk situations, the benefit may outweigh risk, but the current routine overuse should be avoided.
Grech explains that the FDA quietly increased allowed ultrasound intensity in 1993, and most mothers are unaware of thermal and acoustic risks. She cites the Weston A. Price Foundation’s data that the auditory experience for the baby is as loud as a passing train. Many women she interviews notice a correlation between a scan and miscarriage days later, but only if they are conscious of the link. The medical system paradoxically increases scans when pregnancies become complicated, potentially worsening outcomes.
Mechanism
A fetus cannot sweat to dissipate heat, so ultrasound‑induced warming can denature proteins and disrupt development. The sound intensity is comparable to a loud train, causing cellular stress and potentially affecting the central nervous system.
Personal experience
She researched this topic for a lecture and discovered the hidden FDA changes. She also observes that her patients in England routinely get only one scan after the first trimester, and outcomes are no worse.
already in 1900, I think 93, the norms for ultrasound equipment were increased by several tens of percent by the FDA and hidden in a very subtle way
Also said
“the child has no adaptive mechanisms to lower temperature when in the mother's womb”— Explains the unique vulnerability to thermal damage.
“the sound it hears is comparable to the sound of a passing train”— Quantifies the overlooked acoustic stress.
Delay umbilical cord clamping until pulsation stops
WhatAt birth, wait for the umbilical cord to stop pulsating before clamping and cutting, which usually takes a few minutes.
WhenImmediately after birth, before any other interventions.
DoseWait until pulsation ceases (typically 1–5 minutes).
For whomAll healthy newborns at birth.
WhyAllows the baby to receive a full placental transfusion of blood, oxygen, and clotting factors, preventing iatrogenic hypoxia and the need for synthetic vitamin K.
CaveatsIn emergency situations where immediate resuscitation is needed, the benefit of delayed clamping must be weighed against urgency; but in most hospital births, it is feasible.
Grech points out that the common practice of immediate clamping essentially ‘steals’ blood and oxygen from the baby, and then the medical system compensates by injecting a massive dose of synthetic vitamin K. She argues that nature designed the cord to pulse until the newborn is stable, and that interrupting this process creates the very problems the injection is meant to prevent. She ties this to the cascade of interventions that starts at birth and leads to long‑term health issues.
Mechanism
During transition from intra‑uterine to extra‑uterine life, the cord continues to deliver oxygenated blood while the lungs expand. Premature clamping abruptly cuts off oxygen, forcing the brain to borrow oxygen from other organs, risking hypoxic injury. The transfused blood also contains natural clotting factors, making a vitamin K shot unnecessary.
premature cutting of the umbilical cord where blood still pulses and the child is being supplied with oxygen, its organs are being supplied with oxygen when we rob it of that
Also said
“if you cut the umbilical cord and abruptly take away access to oxygen, then the baby's brain and lungs must obtain … oxygen most often this happens from the brain area”— Describes the immediate hypoxic mechanism.
Refuse routine intramuscular vitamin K injection at birth
WhatDecline the prophylactic vitamin K shot and instead ensure delayed cord clamping and support maternal diet to provide natural vitamin K.
WhenDuring birth planning and at delivery.
DoseNo injection; vitamin K is obtained from placental blood via delayed clamping and from breast milk.
For whomAll healthy newborns whose cord clamping is delayed.
WhyThe standard dose is 100 times higher than a newborn can assimilate and has been linked to leukemia and clotting disorders. The injection is only needed if the cord is clamped too soon.
CaveatsIf a baby has a diagnosed bleeding disorder or cannot receive delayed clamping, the risk‑benefit ratio may differ; always discuss with a medically informed practitioner, but Grech views current routine use as unjustified.
Grech explains that mothers frequently contact her with toddlers or young children who developed leukemia, and she sees a pattern linking the injection. She also connects the shot to prolonged neonatal jaundice and stresses that avoiding early clamping eliminates the iatrogenic deficiency the injection is supposed to correct. She finds it absurd that the medical system first creates a deficiency and then aggressively supplements it with a risky pharmaceutical.
Mechanism
Vitamin K is essential for synthesizing clotting factors. In natural birth, the baby receives adequate vitamin K from the placental transfusion. The injected synthetic form, especially at such a high dose, may overwhelm the immature liver and has been associated with hematological malignancies.
Personal experience
She receives direct messages from mothers currently on oncology wards with their children, reinforcing her conviction.
a synthetic preparation but in a dose a hundred times higher than the tiny baby is able to assimilate
Also said
“in studies it is already linked to clotting problems, to UA, to childhood leukemia”— Provides direct disease links.
Breastfeed exclusively; avoid formula
WhatFeed only breast milk for the first six months and continue breastfeeding alongside complementary foods for at least two years. If breastfeeding isn’t possible, use real animal milk (goat or cow) rather than industrial formula.
WhenFrom birth onward, immediately after delivery.
DoseExclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, continued up to 2 years or beyond.
For whomAll infants; mothers should be supported with nutrition, iodine, and galactagogues if supply is low.
WhyBreast milk provides living cells, circadian hormones, adaptive antibodies, and an ideal nutrient matrix that formula cannot replicate. Formula is a processed product containing glucose syrup, oxidized fats, and synthetic vitamins that damage the infant’s metabolism and gut.
CaveatsIf a mother has a true medical contraindication or insufficient milk despite support, real animal milk can be used under guidance, but formula should be the absolute last resort.
Grech quotes professor Cichosz: formula is not milk because ‘it was never near a cow’. She details the composition of standard formulas—glucose‑fructose syrup as a second ingredient, oxidized fatty acids—and asks mothers how they expect a child to not develop atopy, colic, or sleep disorders when fed such a concoction every three hours. She argues that the epidemic of childhood eczema and digestive issues is largely iatrogenic from formula feeding and that if mothers were properly nourished and informed, most could breastfeed successfully. She advocates for educating and supporting lactation rather than defaulting to formula.
Mechanism
Breast milk contains melatonin and cortisol that follow the mother’s circadian rhythm, helping to regulate the baby’s sleep‑wake cycle. It also delivers live immune cells and antibodies that adapt to the baby’s saliva signals. Formula lacks these and includes synthetic vitamins (e.g., cyanocobalamine, folic acid) that can block receptors, as well as oxidized fats and simple sugars that promote liver steatosis and gut dysbiosis.
Personal experience
She describes a day when she had back‑to‑back consultations with new mothers who previously had traumatic birthing and feeding experiences. After following her advice, they were amazed by abundant milk supply, calm babies, and a completely different, joyful motherhood experience.
It is a milk-like product pumped full of artificial vitamins unfortunately and worst of all oxidized with refined oils
Also said
“milk that has glucose syrup, fructose syrup as the second ingredient … do you think that is proper food to give your child every 3 hours”— Concrete example of formula ingredient harm.
“mother's milk has … appropriate amounts of cortisol, melatonin … has antibodies … if the baby is sick, the mother receives information … in the milk this substance is also in greater quantity”— Explains the dynamic, living nature of breast milk.
Build a non‑toxic home environment for child health
WhatReplace synthetic materials and appliances with natural alternatives: solid wood floors, non‑LED lighting (incandescent, salt lamps, red bulbs at night), reverse‑osmosis water filter, glass/stainless steel/ceramic cookware, no Teflon or induction cooktops, and avoid synthetic air fresheners; use essential oil diffusers instead.
WhenBefore conception if possible, and continuously as the child grows.
DoseOngoing lifestyle changes; start with the most impactful like water filter and lighting.
For whomFamilies planning children or with young children, especially those with asthma, eczema, or neurological symptoms.
WhyModern homes are filled with chemicals (VOCs from furniture, chlorine, fluoride, LED blue light) that disrupt circadian rhythms, detoxification, and mitochondrial function, contributing to chronic illness in children.
CaveatsChanges can be made gradually; the cost of items like wood floors can be offset by choosing fewer but higher‑quality items. Not everyone can relocate to the countryside, but incremental improvements matter.
Grech describes her own home renovation: she kept the traditional wood‑fired kitchen stove, installed wood floors, uses salt lamps and red bulbs in the evening, and has a reverse‑osmosis filter. She avoids induction cooktops, noting that pregnant women especially should not stand near them because of mitochondrial damage. She also warns against Teflon pans due to fluoride leaching, and advocates for glass or stainless steel. She emphasizes that these are not trivial upgrades but essential for creating a healing environment.
Mechanism
LED lighting lacks infrared and contains a strong blue peak, which suppresses melatonin and overstimulates the brain. Fluoride from Teflon pans and tap water calcifies the pineal gland, worsening sleep and cognition. Electromagnetic fields from induction cooktops disrupt mitochondrial membranes. Off‑gassing from synthetic carpets and furniture burdens the liver. Replacing these reduces toxic load, allowing the immune system and detox pathways to function optimally.
Personal experience
She moved into an old house and intentionally renovated it with these principles. She notes that her children thrive without the typical childhood illnesses, and visitors comment that they can ‘hear their own breath’ because the environment is so calm.
LED lighting is very unnatural for humans, unhealthy, contains only a large band of blue light, devoid of infrared light
Also said
“Install a reverse osmosis filter so that this water … is healthier … The problem … is heavy metals, pesticides, glyphosate”— Identifies invisible chemical contaminants in tap water.
Use foundational supplements to support immunity
WhatTake daily: vitamin D3 (dose based on blood levels), omega‑3 fatty acids, zinc, magnesium, vitamin C, and B vitamins. In cases of suspected fluoride, bromide, or chlorine overload, add iodine under guidance.
WhenDaily, as a baseline, especially for mothers, children, and during illness.
DoseDoses should be individualized; Grech emphasizes testing vitamin D3 levels. No specific milligram doses given; focus is on using quality forms and sufficient amounts to correct deficiencies.
For whomEveryone, especially pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children to build resilient health.
WhyThese micronutrients are co‑factors in immune cell production, mitochondrial function, detoxification, and epithelial barrier integrity. Modern diets and environmental toxins deplete them, so supplementation is necessary to maintain health.
CaveatsNot all supplements are equal; choose high‑quality products without synthetic fillers. Iodine can cause a detox reaction; start low and increase gradually while supporting liver and hydration.
Grech argues that doctors rarely check vitamin D levels or zinc status, yet they are foundational. She uses cyanocobalamin as an example of a synthetic B12 that can block receptors, stressing the importance of biologically active forms. She notes that many chronic conditions, from anemia to recurrent infections to eczema, resolve when these deficiencies are corrected. She views these as the basis of ‘mitochondrial medicine’—supporting the cell’s energy centers to enable self‑repair.
Mechanism
Zinc is needed for hydrochloric acid production and for immune cell proliferation (neutrophil phagocytosis). Vitamin D3 modulates immune tolerance and antimicrobial peptide production. Omega‑3 fats maintain membrane fluidity and resolve inflammation. B vitamins are coenzymes for mitochondrial energy (oxidative phosphorylation). Iodine displaces toxic halogens from cellular receptors, allowing their excretion.
Personal experience
She saw dramatic improvements in patients during the COVID‑19 pandemic when she emphasised high‑dose vitamin D3, omega‑3, zinc, and herbal preparations; most recovered quickly without hospitalisation.
zinc is essential for the process of erythropoiesis, i.e., the production of red blood cells … did anyone tell you that the multiplication of immune system cells in the bone marrow depends on the level … of zinc
Also said
“without proper nutrition, without protein levels, without good liver function, without zinc … they don't work … what do you want, for an antibiotic to come and save you when your immune system is down”— Explains that antibiotics alone aren’t enough without immune co‑factors.
Prepare the mother’s health before pregnancy
WhatAt least 6–12 months before conception, the woman should optimize her diet, correct nutrient deficiencies (especially vitamin D, iron, B vitamins, iodine), heal gut issues, and avoid all unnecessary medical interventions to ensure a healthy pregnancy and baby.
WhenPreconception period.
DoseIdeally 6–12 months of consistent healthy eating and supplementing before attempting to conceive.
For whomAny woman planning pregnancy, especially those with autoimmune conditions, digestive issues, or a history of miscarriage.
WhyThe mother’s mitochondrial health and nutritional status determine the child’s cellular energy and organ development. A mother with chronic inflammation, anemia, or gut dysbiosis is likely to experience complications and transfer poor health to the baby.
CaveatsThis requires time and commitment; quick fixes are not possible. The earlier a woman starts, the better.
Grech laments that fertility is treated as a separate issue from sustaining a pregnancy. Women struggle to conceive, resort to ART, but once pregnant are not supported with the basic nutrition needed to carry to term. She notes that many women don’t know their vitamin D levels or whether they are anemic, yet are quickly offered medical interventions without addressing these fundamentals. She sees this as a systemic failure that sets the stage for childhood illness.
Mechanism
Mitochondria are inherited exclusively from the mother. If maternal mitochondria are damaged by toxins, nutrient deficiencies, or oxidative stress, the baby’s energetic foundation is compromised. Additionally, adequate protein, omega‑3, and B vitamins are crucial for neural tube development and placental health.
Personal experience
She works with patients who, after following her preconception protocol, experience radically different pregnancies and births compared to their previous traumatising ones.
if you are a healthy mother, a healthy earth from which the child will draw what is most important, we have a chance for the child … to shape its foundations of health
Also said
“mitochondria, i.e., the energy center, the energy fuel we need to function healthily, is passed on only by the mother”— Highlights the exclusive maternal inheritance of mitochondria.

Prenatal ultrasound risks
Olga Grech claims that routine prenatal ultrasounds are not benign: they overheat the fetus, cause stress and hearing damage equivalent to a passing train, and can trigger miscarriage, especially with frequent use. She says the FDA raised safety limits for ultrasound machines in 1993 without public awareness.
Why this matters: Contradicts mainstream obstetric practice that views ultrasounds as safe and necessary. Provides specific physiological mechanisms and historical FDA changes rarely discussed publicly.
Background
Standard prenatal care includes multiple ultrasound scans, often increasing in high‑risk pregnancies. Most women are never told about thermal or acoustic risks.
Grech explains that a fetus cannot sweat to regulate temperature, so prolonged ultrasound exposure raises its temperature and can inhibit protein synthesis. She cites the Weston A. Price Foundation’s comparison that the sound a baby hears during an ultrasound is as loud as a passing train standing right next to it. This triggers cellular stress and can affect the central nervous system. She notes that many women she speaks with notice a temporal link between an ultrasound and subsequent miscarriage, but only when they are aware of the possibility. The paradox she points out is that the more complicated a pregnancy becomes, the more ultrasounds are ordered.
Personal experience
She mentions collecting patient stories where women connected frequent scans with early miscarriage, and her own deep dive into the FDA’s 1993 increase of allowed ultrasound intensity that was not widely publicized.
already in 1900, I think 93, the norms for ultrasound equipment were increased by several tens of percent by the FDA and hidden in a very subtle way what impact this has on the developing child in the womb
Also said
“the child has no adaptive mechanisms to lower temperature when in the mother's womb, meaning it cannot, for example, sweat”— Explains why ultrasound-induced heating is uniquely dangerous for the fetus.
“the sound it hears is comparable to the sound of a passing train if you were standing right next to it”— Conveys the overlooked acoustic stress on the developing baby.
Vitamin K injection at birth is excessive and harmful
The routine intramuscular vitamin K shot given to newborns is 100 times the physiological dose, and its necessity is largely caused by premature cord clamping, which deprives the baby of natural clotting factors. She links the injection to childhood leukemia and clotting disorders.
Why this matters: Challenges a universal newborn procedure by linking it to iatrogenic harm and offering a simple alternative: waiting for cord pulsation to stop.
Background
Most hospitals routinely inject vitamin K immediately after birth to prevent hemorrhagic disease. Parents are rarely told about the dose size or the alternative of delayed clamping.
Grech argues that if the umbilical cord is allowed to pulse until it stops naturally, the baby receives a full transfusion of oxygenated blood and clotting factors, making the synthetic injection unnecessary. Instead, the common practice of immediate clamping ‘steals’ oxygen from organs, potentially causing brain hypoxia, and then compensates with a massive dose of synthetic vitamin K. She notes that studies have linked the injection to subsequent leukemia and blood clotting problems. She receives messages from mothers whose young children are now on oncology wards with leukemia, reinforcing her conviction that the procedure is dangerous and avoidable.
Personal experience
She shares that she receives direct messages from mothers who regret the injection and are now dealing with childhood leukemia, which adds a personal, urgent dimension to her stance.

“if you cut the umbilical cord and abruptly take away access to oxygen, then the baby's brain and lungs must obtain … oxygen most often this happens from the brain area”— Describes the immediate hypoxic harm caused by early clamping.
“in studies it is already linked to clotting problems, to UA, to childhood leukemia”— Cites specific long‑term risks associated with the high‑dose injection.
Formula milk is a toxic, disease‑causing substitute
Commercial infant formula is not real milk but a highly processed product containing glucose syrup, oxidized fatty acids, and synthetic vitamins that block natural receptors. She asserts it directly contributes to atopic dermatitis, gut problems, and metabolic damage.
Why this matters: Goes far beyond ‘breast is best’ by calling formula a chemically harmful ‘milk‑like product’ and linking it to specific pathologies, while endorsing real animal milk as a safer alternative when breastfeeding isn’t possible.
Background
Mainstream pediatric guidance promotes formula as a safe, nutritionally complete alternative. Formula is heavily marketed, and many mothers believe it is equivalent to breast milk.
Grech quotes Polish professor Cichosz, saying formula cannot be called milk because ‘it was never near a cow’ (or goat). She describes it as a ‘milk‑like product’ filled with artificial vitamins, glucose‑fructose syrup that burdens the liver, and oxidized fats. She emphasizes that formula lacks the circadian rhythm components (cortisol, melatonin) and immune antibodies that adapt in real time to a baby’s needs. She rhetorically asks mothers to consider whether a food with such an ingredient list, fed every three hours, could possibly not cause allergies, colic, or neurological issues. She presents this as a root cause of the skyrocketing rates of childhood eczema, digestive problems, and immune dysfunction.
It is a milk-like product pumped full of artificial vitamins unfortunately and worst of all oxidized with refined oils
Also said
“milk that has glucose syrup, fructose syrup as the second ingredient … do you think that is proper food to give your child every 3 hours”— Highlights the shocking composition of common formulas.
“mother's milk not only takes into account the circadian rhythm, i.e., for example, has appropriate amounts of cortisol, melatonin … has antibodies … if the baby is sick, the mother receives information … in the milk this substance is also in greater quantity”— Explains biological advantages that formula cannot replicate.
Iodine is critical for detoxing fluoride, bromine, and chlorine
Iodine supplementation acts as a halogen antagonist, pushing fluoride, bromine, and chlorine out of cells. The discomfort often experienced when starting iodine is actually a detox reaction, not intolerance, and modern life is saturated with these halogens (toothpaste, water, menstrual products, flame retardants).
Why this matters: Contrasts sharply with mainstream medicine’s caution around iodine and reveals a deliberate suppression of iodine in favor of fluoridation. Offers a mechanistic explanation for symptoms commonly labeled as ‘iodine allergy’.
Background
Fluoride is added to water and toothpaste; bromine is used in baked goods and flame retardants; chlorine is ubiquitous in tap water and hygiene products. Iodine is often recommended only for thyroid health, and negative reactions are usually seen as a reason to stop.
Grech explains that iodine, being a larger and heavier halogen, can displace lighter halogens like fluoride and bromine from cellular receptors. When a person begins iodine supplementation, the resulting symptoms—skin rashes, insomnia, agitation—are actually signs of halogen mobilization, not iodine toxicity. She points out that the widespread demonization of iodine serves to keep people from removing fluoride, which accumulates in the pineal gland and impairs cognition, and bromine, which is used in the military to suppress questioning. She ties this to a broader societal control mechanism, noting that a population with calcified pineal glands and cognitive fog is easier to manipulate.
iodine … will start the detox of fluoride, the detox of bromine, the detox of chlorine … when you start using iodine, all of this begins to be displaced from the cell
Also said
“fluoride has a tendency to accumulate … if you do not possess equally strong elements, then all … toxins, pollutants you absorb like a sponge”— Explains the competitive uptake and why iodine is essential for protection.
“bromine was given in the army so that soldiers would not question … do not ask any questions”— Gives a striking historical example of bromine’s mind‑dulling effect.
Aggressive detox can backfire without foundational repair
While detoxification and deworming are valid, Grech warns that starting them too soon—before rebuilding nutrient stores, sleep, and digestion—can cause severe harm. She sees a trend in naturopathy of over‑emphasizing quick cleanses while ignoring the need for a robust detox pathway.
Why this matters: A self‑critical view from within the natural health space, cautioning against the very practices often promoted there. Provides a balanced, phased approach.
Background
Many naturopathic protocols jump directly to heavy metal chelation, herbal parasite cleanses, or intense fasting. Social media amplifies ‘quick fix’ detoxes that often cause harsh Herxheimer reactions.
Grech explains that if the liver’s phase I and II detox pathways are compromised due to long‑term nutrient deficiencies (especially B vitamins, amino acids, and minerals), releasing stored toxins into circulation can overwhelm the system. She uses the example of giving chlorella or zeolite to a patient whose liver can’t process the mobilized metals, leading to a crisis that makes them abandon the protocol. Her approach is to spend months rebuilding foundational health—improving diet, hydration, sleep, and gentle sweating (sauna, exercise)—before even considering targeted detox agents. She stresses that the body already detoxifies daily through sweat, sleep (glymphatic system), and liver function, and that supporting these natural processes is safer and often sufficient.
Personal experience
She says she personally does hydrocolon therapy and other deep cleanses, but only after thoroughly preparing patients; otherwise, they would crash.
if you start taking care of the base, this detoxification takes place every day because you wouldn't survive two days … first stop poisoning yourself, i.e., find the source of what is poisoning me … then start eating healthily … it will already start cleaning up
Also said
“if the liver is to properly … detoxify … you must have the right amino acids, vitamins … if your detox hasn't been working for many years, you have critical vitamin deficiencies and you now introduce chelators … after a week you will capitulate”— Details the biochemical risk of premature detox protocols.
“patients are sometimes surprised that they come with symptoms of various parasites and we rebuild them for half a year”— Shows her clinical protocol of long preparation before addressing parasites.
Cesarean section on demand and fear of natural birth reflect disconnection from self
Grech interprets the trend of elective C‑sections and the fear of natural birth as a loss of instinct caused by constant external noise—social media, medical authority, and advertising—that separates women from their inner knowing.
Why this matters: Links the medicalization of birth to a broader cultural crisis of self‑contact, not just convenience. Offers a psychological‑spiritual diagnosis.
Background
Rates of cesarean sections are high, and many women opt for them without medical necessity, sometimes citing fear or convenience. This is often framed as a valid personal choice.
Grech argues that a woman who is constantly bombarded with advice, from gynaecologists pushing vaccinations to Instagram influencers and TV, loses the quiet space to hear her own instincts. She compares it to being unable to hear your own thoughts because someone is always talking. When a woman is told what to do by everyone around her, she ceases to connect with what she truly wants and fears the unknown. Fear of natural birth, in her view, is a product of this disconnected, overstimulated state. She draws a parallel to how the mainstream narrative encourages women to return to work quickly and to distance themselves from the natural motherhood role, all under the guise of empowerment while suppressing genuine longing.
from a lack of contact with oneself, and this lack of contact today is heavily supported by drowning out our instincts through social media … there is no possibility to swim in some soup and not soak through with it
Also said
“if you do not disconnect from it … you become a part of it … then you have the opportunity to ask yourself what do I want, what is good for me”— Diagnoses the root cause of the loss of instinct.

Nourishing Traditions – Sally Fallon
Book
Grech recommends this book to pregnant women and mothers as a source of traditional, evidence‑based dietary wisdom that contrasts with modern processed food guidelines. She mentions the Weston A. Price Foundation, which is the organisation behind the book, implicitly endorsing its principles.
She cites the book when discussing the harms of ultrasound, noting that the foundation’s research highlighted the noise levels a fetus experiences. The book is presented as a guide to returning to ancestral eating patterns that support fertility, pregnancy, and childhood health, in opposition to the nutrient‑depleted modern diet that underpins many chronic diseases.
vs alternatives
Unlike typical pregnancy diet books that focus on calorie counting or avoiding certain foods, this book emphasises nutrient density, traditional food preparation (fermentation, soaking grains), and fat‑soluble vitamins, which align with Grech’s philosophy.
the Weston A. Price Foundation, which was also very often mentioned in the book Nourishing Traditions, I recommend mothers to read this book
Installed in the home to remove chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides, and glyphosate from tap water, making all cooking and drinking water safer.
Grech sees contaminated water as a major source of chronic low‑level poisoning that undermines health, especially in children. She points out that municipal water treatment removes microorganisms but not industrial chemicals, and that these accumulate in the body. Using filtered water for all cooking reduces the overall toxic burden and supports detoxification.
vs alternatives
Versus bottled water: avoids plastic‑derived endocrine disruptors and is more cost‑effective long‑term. Versus simple carbon filters: reverse osmosis captures a broader range of contaminants including fluoride.
Personal experience
She installed a reverse‑osmosis filter in her own home as part of the renovation and considers it one of the most impactful changes.
Install a reverse osmosis filter so that the water you cook soup with … is healthier … The problem … is heavy metals, pesticides, glyphosate
Used as a household remedy for respiratory support, sleep, pain, and infections. Diffuse them to purify air and calm the nervous system, or apply diluted to the skin (e.g., feet, around ears) for local effects.
Grech explains that inhaled essential oil molecules reach the limbic system within seconds, rapidly affecting mood, stress, and cognitive function. For children, she applies oils in a carrier oil to the soles of the feet or on the chest. She also mentions that some high‑quality oils can be taken internally in gelatin capsules to combat gut dysbiosis. She contrasts this with synthetic air fresheners that are toxic.
vs alternatives
Compared to pharmaceutical cough syrups or steroid creams, oils offer a multi‑targeted, side‑effect‑free option. However, quality varies, and synthetic oils will not provide the same benefits.
Personal experience
She says she fell in love with oils after having children because they provide a fast, external way to support health without pharmaceuticals. She personally uses a diffuser with lavender for insomnia and finds it very effective.
I fell in love with essential oils since I had children because we often actually need something to dose externally
Also said
“inhaling the right oils can support cognitive functions, your mood, influence the treatment of depression or … alleviate anxiety states”— Broadens the use case beyond typical aromatherapy claims.
Replace standard white LEDs in the evening with red‑spectrum light bulbs and salt lamps to create a circadian‑friendly environment that supports melatonin production and reduces cortisol.
Grech explains that LEDs emit a strong blue‑light peak with no infrared, which signals ‘midday’ to the brain and disrupts sleep architecture. Using warm, red‑shifted light in the evening allows the body to naturally wind down. She notes that salt lamps also add a natural, calming light and help clean the air to some extent. She has implemented this throughout her home, and her children benefit from better sleep and calmer behaviour.
vs alternatives
Versus blue‑blocking glasses: ambient red light is a whole‑room solution that doesn’t require wearing glasses. Versus standard lamps: they maintain the unnatural light spectrum that contributes to sleep epidemics.
Personal experience
She renovated her home to have no LEDs; she uses old‑style incandescent bulbs where available and red bulbs in the evening. She finds it essential for her family’s circadian health.
LED lighting is very unnatural for humans, unhealthy, contains only a large band of blue light, devoid of infrared light
Also said
“our children in the evenings do not sit under LEDs, but already have everywhere … subtle light to calm down, to lower cortisol levels and stimulate melatonin”— Shows direct application in her household.
