You are listening to a podcast from joettecalabrese.com where nationally certified American homeopath, public speaker, and author, Joette Calabrese, shares her passion for helping families stay healthy through homeopathy and nutrient-dense nutrition.

 

Paola:  It’s another podcast at JoetteCalabrese.com. Today, we’ve got a new episode for the Moms with Moxie miniseries.

Joette:  All the way from my desk in New York, I get to see how homeopathy is transforming lives all over the globe. Some of my students have really caught my eye. Some of you have done all you can to learn how to cure those around you using homeopathic medicines. Your successes inspire me. They’re glorious and powerful. I can’t keep your successes a secret any longer. So, with help from my roving reporter, Paola, we bring you this mini podcast series that I call Moms with Moxie. It’s actually grandmoms, too. But it’s Moms with Moxie. See how regular mothers and others, average people who want to cure those around them have gone from freaking to fabulous with homeopathy.

Paola:  I am here with Shannon Gunther. I am so excited to be with you today, Shannon. We’ve gotten to know each other a little bit on the phone and through email. We have a really great podcast for Joette’s listeners.

Shannon:  I am so excited to be here. Thank you.

Paola:  Shannon, tell me where you’re from, where you’re living, what state or whatever.

Shannon:  I am in Northern California. We’re up in the mountains. I am a homeschooling mama with seven kids and of course, a husband. Just getting ready to graduate my third child, so pretty exciting.

Paola:  Awesome, graduate your third child. So, you’re a little bit ahead of me. I have to say you look just as young as you sound. That is so fun that you can just be so young to enjoy your family.

Shannon:  Yes, thank you.

Paola:  Do you have grandkids or anything yet? Are any of your kids …?

Shannon:  No grandkids, yes. My oldest is going to be 20 and he’s like, “Mom, not yet, stop.”

Paola:  So, your oldest is 20.

Shannon:  Well, it’s pretty cute.

Paola:  Shannon, the first question I like to ask Moms with Moxie like you is why do you love homeopathy.

Shannon:  Well honestly, when I found it, it completely gave me my life back. I was suffering from some chronic illness and I was at the end of my rope. I’ve tried everything and homeopathy was it. It completely gave me my life back.

Paola:  Do you feel like you have perfect health now?

Shannon:  I don’t have perfect health but improvement in my life, just I can function again. It’s going to be a longer journey. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue. But I’d tell you, within that first month of starting remedies, I felt like a new person.

Paola:  So you mean, you’ve been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue by a traditional doctor?

Shannon:  A naturopath.

Paola:  A naturopath, okay.

Shannon:  Of course, there were lots of tests involved and can we for sure be sure.

Paola:  Right, right.

Shannon:  But it all was pointing to that with extreme exhaustion and what not.

Paola:  I’m trying to remember where I read this. It was a homeopathic practitioner (who might have been Joette, I don’t know). They say that your hormones are a three-legged stool.

Shannon:  Yes.

Paola:  Your adrenals, your thyroid, and then the other stuff — the progesterone and all that pituitary stuff — and when one of them goes out, the other two were close behind.

Shannon:  Exactly. It’s just so linked and one will try to help the other and then of course get weakened. So, it’s just like this complex stuff. But I found homeopathy, so it simplified it completely.

Paola:  You feel like you’re living a robust life and that’s the thing. That’s the key. Joette says it.
