What happens when an ER doc realizes—as many now do—that the system meant to heal us is profoundly broken?

In this episode of The Marcella Principle Podcast, I talk with Amy Walsh—an MD turned wild woman and self-proclaimed nettle witch—as she chronicles her heroine’s exodus from the Western medical paradigm to the deeper forests of holistic healing and plant spirit medicine.

Amy shares how her COVID burnout broke her down, then cracked her open to explore the witchy side of her own healing wisdom. Together we meander through her fourfold framework for authentic healing, laud the hardy spirits of lamb’s quarters, dandelion, and St. John’s wort, and explore the gut microbiome as our collective ancestral inheritance.

If you’re longing for a rewilded medical model that’s more backyard garden than pharma factory, this is a talk you want to hear.
