In this episode, your host Shane will be talking to Sheela Mahdavi, a holistic nutritionist, detoxification specialist and herbalist. Sheela will talk about studying nutritional science and not finding the answer to the most important question - how do we actually heal health conditions? The answer came when she discovered the power of herbs and healing properties of raw fruits and vegetables. Upon that discovery Sheela started her company “Food Over Drugs” helping anyone find health through herbs and healthy eating habits.

Key Takeaways to Tune in For:

[04:00] The drugs that pharmaceutical companies sell us have compounds as their active ingredients that actually come from herbs! For thousands of years we had this knowledge of how to know what is wrong with us and heal ourselves with what nature provides, but we had grown detached from it and now rely on someone else to tell us that.

[09:22] Parasites. Don’t freak out! Most people have them, and it’s easy to cleanse your body from them with herbs.

[17:00] Don’t think of hereditary health conditions as a mandatory sentence. You have an opportunity to transform your body and heal genetic weaknesses - and not pass them on. No health condition is for life!

In this episode, Shane chats with Registered Holistic Nutritionist Amanda Love. Amanda suffered with pain and illness for many years, not knowing what was wrong. Doctors could not find the root cause of her suffering. Finally, in her 20’s, she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. There was no obvious cure for fibromyalgia that worked for her. None of the standard medications or therapies worked. After seeing many different doctors, she met a wellness chiropractor who helped set her on the path towards healing.
