Finding a healthy place to stay while traveling shouldn't feel impossible—but for people living with chronic illness, mold illness, Lyme disease, chemical sensitivities, autoimmune conditions, or simply pursuing a low-tox lifestyle, it often is.

In this episode of the Natural Health Network Podcast, Sarah sits down with Hannah, founder of InnPeace, a unique travel directory designed to help families discover healthier vacation rentals, hotels, cabins and retreats. After spending nearly a decade healing from mold exposure, Lyme disease, toxic overload and nervous system dysfunction, Hannah realized there was no easy way to find accommodations that supported healing instead of working against it.

You'll hear the powerful story behind InnPeace, how Hannah transformed years of personal struggle into a growing community resource, and how travelers can now search for accommodations based on features like fragrance-free environments, low-EMF spaces, saltwater pools, sensory-friendly options and other wellness-focused amenities.

Whether you're navigating chronic illness, looking for healthier travel options for your family, or simply want to make more informed choices while away from home, this episode is filled with hope, practical resources and inspiration.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why Hannah created InnPeace after her own healing journey
• How to find low-tox vacation rentals and healthier accommodations
• What features to look for if you have mold, Lyme disease, chemical sensitivities or autoimmune conditions
• How InnPeace is connecting health-conscious travelers with like-minded property owners
• Why creating safe spaces can play an important role in rest, recovery and wellness

Many people spend years searching for answers to chronic fatigue, hormone imbalance, digestive issues, autoimmune symptoms, allergies, anxiety, weight gain, and other persistent health concerns—only to leave appointments with more prescriptions and few real solutions.

In this episode of the Natural Health Network Podcast, Sarah Rasnick sits down with Dr. Mila McManus and Kim Beale of The Woodlands Institute for Health & Wellness to discuss how functional medicine helps uncover the underlying causes of chronic illness rather than simply managing symptoms.

You'll learn:

• What functional medicine is and how it differs from conventional medicine
• Why gut health plays a role in so many chronic symptoms
• The connection between food sensitivities and inflammation
• How mold exposure, toxins, and hidden infections can affect health
• Why hormone balance is about more than just bloodwork
