Oxygen delivery at the cellular level is a conversation every naturopathic professional should be paying attention to.

In this episode, we are joined by Victoria Albright of APEX Water for an in-depth discussion on how this oxygen delivery technology is being used within the natural health space. Victoria explains what APEX Water is, how it was developed, and why oxygen delivery and cellular polarity play such an important role in supporting overall wellness.

Victoria shares the history of APEX Water, which was first formulated in 1952, and walks listeners through the science-based concepts behind how it interacts with pathogenic cells while leaving healthy cells unaffected. She also discusses how practitioners are incorporating APEX into clinical use and how education is central to understanding its role in practice.

The episode also includes updates from ANMA, including reminders to stay informed during the 2026 legislative season and important details about the upcoming 45th Annual ANMA Convention and Educational Seminar in Las Vegas.

Your gut may be the quiet driving force behind your energy, immunity, and emotional balance—and today’s episode brings that truth into focus.

This month’s guest is longtime ANMA exhibitor and holistic health practitioner Debbie Bailey, founder of Bumbiotics and owner of Therapeutic Body Center. With more than 26 years in natural health, Debbie shares how her work in colon hydrotherapy inspired her to create Bumbiotics, a natural probiotic suppository designed to support the microbiome directly where it’s needed. She explains why only a small percentage of oral probiotics reach the large intestine, how rectal delivery increases effectiveness, and why restoring the gut terrain allows the body’s innate intelligence to heal.

Debbie also discusses her integrated approach to wellness, supporting the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of health, and the remarkable improvements she has witnessed in clients, from children to chronically ill adults. She closes by sharing why the ANMA Convention continues to be one of her favorite communities for learning, connection, and natural health innovation.

Takeaways

• Naturopathic holiday wellness tips that support digestion, circadian rhythm, hydration, and joy.

• How the microbiome influences immune function, emotional wellbeing, and whole-body health.

• Why Bumbiotics supports the gut more directly than traditional oral probiotics.

• How practitioners can integrate Bumbiotics into personalized gut restoration plans.

• The value of connection and continued learning at the ANMA Convention.
