Hey everybody, welcome back to the Heart of Herbs Herbal School Podcast — I am your host, Demetria Clark, and today we are talking about something that lands in my inbox and in my students' questions more than almost any other topic: cholesterol. Now, before you think this is going to be a dry, clinical, numbers-on-a-page kind of conversation — it is absolutely not, because that is not how we do things around here. We are going to talk about ten powerful, evidence-informed herbs that support healthy cholesterol and cardiovascular health, we are going to talk about why they work and how they work, and we are going to talk about the thing that most cholesterol conversations completely skip over — which is that elevated cholesterol is a signal from your body, not a life sentence, and that the plants have been supporting the human heart, in every sense of that word, for longer than pharmaceuticals have even existed. So grab your tea, get comfortable, and let us get into it — because your heart deserves more than just a pill, and today we are going to talk about what that looks like. 🌿

Tinsel, Tonics & the Man Who Does It All

Okay, you guys. Okay.

I need you to picture this. A man walks into the world of herbalism. He's a middle school civics teacher. He's a homesteader. He's building his own apothecary from the ground up. He's a Master Mason. He's working toward his clinical herbalist certification.

And three months out of the year?

He is Santa Claus.

I am not making this up.

Today on the Heart of Herbs Herbal School Podcast, I am so excited to introduce you to Jacob Hoss Loughlin — the founder of Tinsel and Tonic Apothecary, a student in our Clinical Herbalist program, and genuinely one of the most inspiring people I have had the pleasure of talking to in a long time.

Jacob's herbal journey didn't start in a classroom or a garden. It started the way so many of the best herbal journeys do — with a child who needed help, a system that wasn't listening, and a parent who said, you know what? I'm going to figure this out myself.

And figure it out he did.

We're talking about herbalism and family, about building a business on a budget and a whole lot of heart, about homesteading in city limits and why dandelions are basically magic, and about what it truly means to be Santa — not just wear the suit.

His motto? Be self-sufficient. Help everyone you can. Inconvenience no one.

I think you're going to love him.

Let's get into it. 🌿🎅
