Choosing a natural cancer treatment can seem risky and dangerous in the face of something so terrifying. For this week's guest, it completely transformed her life.
Carly Brown chose a healthy lifestyle for years - she was a health coach, yoga teacher, practiced having a non-toxic home, and shopped at local farmer's markets on Sundays. So you can imagine the shock she experienced after being suddenly diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
Her doctor put pressure on her to have surgery immediately and begin conventional cancer treatments. However, being involved in the holistic health world, Carly knew there was another option.
In this episode, we are digging into Carly's initial cancer diagnosis, her decision to pursue natural cancer treatment, and how her diagnosis has shaped her life today.

Our current agricultural system only has 60 years left before it collapses.
Conventional farming plays a huge role in the most significant global crises we're facing today, including climate change, food scarcity, and human health decline. Now, I'm not a farmer, and I know very little about farming, but this episode is so important because not only is it extremely educational, it shows there is a solution that can change the trajectory we're on.
Robby Sansom, CEO of Force of Nature Meats, joins us to talk about the harmful effects of conventional agriculture, what regenerative agriculture is and the benefits it has for us and future generations, as well as things you can do as a consumer to make better-informed choices about the food you eat.

Environmental toxins are an invisible threat to our health found in household items we use every single day.
There are more than 84,000 chemicals approved for use in the United States, and nearly 99% of people, when tested, show contamination with several harmful toxins. In my health journey, toxins were the last piece of the puzzle I discovered after diet, lifestyle, movement, and sleep. But once I started learning more about environmental toxins, it was eye opening to realize just how many we encounter on a daily basis and the impact they have on our bodies.
In this episode, Lara Adler, Environmental Toxins Expert and Holistic Health Coach, joins us to talk about the most common sources of toxin exposure, how to create a non-toxic environment in your home and the truth about regulatory measures in the US, and why it's so important to be an informed citizen.

1 in 10 Americans are on antidepressants, a number that has increased by 400% between 1988 and 2008.
When I saw these numbers I was shocked. I've seen people around me get prescribed antidepressants without any mention of potential risk, side effects, or the importance of seeking help when going off these types of medications.
In this episode, I talk to Dr. Ellen Vora about a holistic approach to mental health. We discuss how to manage anxiety, true informed consent for antidepressants, as well as her take on the rising suicide rates in the United States.
If you are triggered by discussions around anxiety, depression, psychiatric medication, or suicide, then this episode may not be for you. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, please call 1(800)273-TALK for support.

Mold is a silent threat that can lurk in our homes or inside of our bodies, even years after exposure.
I never would have suspected I had any mold toxicity until I read Dr. Jill Crista's book and took a test out of curiosity. To my surprise, my mold levels were super high, and I've recently been going through a mold detox protocol to improve my health.
This week's guest is a naturopathic doctor, mold specialist, and author of Break The Mold, the book that started me on my own mold journey.
Dr. Crista and I talk about why mold is an important health issue to be aware of and take care of, the difference between mold and mycotoxins, and how to detox mold from both the environment you live in and from your body.
