In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Audra to explore her inspiring journey living with and healing Crohn’s disease. Audra shares how a surprising diagnosis in adulthood—and the discovery of a family health history—led her to seek natural alternatives beyond conventional medication. From the pivotal moment of attending a health and wellness talk to her experience with supplements, chiropractic care, and lifestyle changes, Audra’s story is one of resilience, hope, and holistic healing. Along the way, we dive into the challenges of navigating chronic illness, the power of research and education, and the importance of finding a health path that fits you. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or passionate about natural health, this episode offers insight and encouragement for the journey ahead. Oh yea....we talk about scoby and getting signs from our loved ones beyond the veil.

In this insightful episode, Dr. Heather shares a personal and professional journey with functional lab testing, highlighting how these tools have transformed her clinical practice and improved patient outcomes. Listeners gain a behind-the-scenes look at the types of functional tests used—such as hormone panels, nutrient deficiencies, and toxic burden screenings—and how these tests go beyond traditional labs to uncover root causes of symptoms.

Real-world case examples illustrate how targeted interventions based on lab insights have led to better energy, mood balance, digestive health, and chronic condition management.

Whether you're a practitioner or a patient interested in cutting-edge wellness strategies, this episode offers practical takeaways and a deeper understanding of the power of functional diagnostics in personalized medicine.

🎙️The Camera Kept Rolling—A Behind-the-Scenes Conversation on True Healing

Some moments aren’t meant for the spotlight, but they’re often the most powerful.

This episode wasn’t planned. It’s a raw, unfiltered conversation between me and my publicist—caught when the camera was supposed to be off. But after my life-changing journey with ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT, everything has shifted.

💬 "I could've done counseling for 30 years, taken all the supplements, eaten as clean as possible, exercised—but nothing in my 42 years of life could've given me the healing and peace that I (now) have."

In this episode, I open up about:
✨ The Ibogaine Glow – Why this transformation isn’t just a moment, but a whole new way of being
🧘 How I’m Sustaining the Shift – The daily practices keeping me grounded: nutrition, yoga, meditation, breath-work
🌍 A New Lens on Life – Letting go of stress, embracing what truly matters

This is real healing. No script. No filters. Just the truth about what happens when you finally break free.

After finding healing from years of chronic illness, Angela Skudin’s world was shattered by the sudden loss of her husband, Casey.

Instead of numbing the pain with sedatives, she turned to ibogaine therapy, a powerful plant medicine known for its ability to help process trauma and break destructive cycles. Through ibogaine, she was able to truly feel her grief, process it, and begin to heal.

In Part 2 of this conversation, Angela shares how psychedelics not only helped her personally but also inspired her to help first responders access real healing through the Casey Skudin 343 FUND. She and Dr. Heather Heck also discuss how Big Pharma profits from limiting human healing—and why alternative approaches are often kept out of reach.

🌀 "Once you find something like [these healing modalities or] ibogaine, you want to share these with everybody. You want everyone to feel the freedom you're feeling."

🎧 Tune in for an eye-opening conversation about grief, trauma, and the power of plant medicine.

For years, Angela Skudin battled debilitating health issues. Diagnosed with Morgellons disease in 2018, she endured excruciating symptoms and turned to Western medicine for help—only to find treatments that were ineffective, financially devastating, and, in some cases, made her condition worse.

Desperate for relief, Angela explored alternative medicine, trying everything from bee venom therapy to Kambo—but it wasn’t until she discovered psychedelics that she experienced true healing. For the first time, she could sleep, she no longer needed back surgery, and her body began to truly recover.

This personal transformation inspired Angela to pay it forward, founding the Casey Skudin 343 FUND, a nonprofit that provides first responders with access to holistic healing resources. These heroes give so much and often struggle with PTSD and trauma, yet many have nowhere to turn for real healing. Angela is on a mission to change that.

🌀 “You’ve got to feel it to heal it. Sit with it, then let it go.”

In this deeply personal episode of Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck, I open up about my transformative experience at the Ambio Life Sciences treatment facility in Tijuana, Mexico.

From embracing my inner child to releasing grief over profound losses, I share how Ibogaine guided me through incredible healing. I learned that I need to trust my intuition, mend relationships, and let go of the emotional burdens that had weighed me down for years. I even encountered moments beyond explanation – reconnecting with loved ones, including my late father, and experiencing a spiritual hug from God.

But when Iboga warned me I might die if I took 5-MeO-DMT, the decision I faced was life-changing. Did I take it? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

This episode reveals why I believe Ibogaine has the power to change lives and why I feel the world could be a better place if more people experienced it.

Listen now to join me on this miraculous journey of healing, self-discovery, and transformation.

Join me as I recount my journey to Tijuana, Mexico, for an ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT experience that forever changed my perspective on life.

In this episode, I share the step-by-step details: arriving in San Diego, crossing the border into a gated treatment center, integration and assessments, connecting with other participants, entering a traditional sweat lodge, preparing for the fire ceremony, and experiencing deep breathwork and recovery. This was a journey of profound healing, rest, and perspective.

As I reflect on the experience, I’ve come to understand: “We’re all souls having a human experience. There’s more to this life. [This experience has] put life into perspective for me. Everyone needs to do ibogaine. I think if we did, the world would be a happier place.”

🎧 Listen now to hear the full story behind the trip that reshaped my understanding of healing and purpose. Episode 2 will dive deeper into my personal ibogaine journey.
