Quest for Healing: Bi-weekly support and inspiration for your Medical Medium® health journey

#068 - Before Malachy Duffy was diagnosed with spinal cancer at age 25, he had already been dealing with troublesome gut issues for years. After his cancer treatment, nerve damage and widespread eczema started causing additional health problems. We discuss the lifestyle changes that he made to regain his health, as well as the tweaks and modifications that led to his most meaningful improvements.

So if you’ve been dealing with mystery gut issues, the aftermath of cancer treatment, or a severe bout of eczema, I think you’ll find this episode very informative and inspiring.

#067 - Kathy Catlin is a certified holistic health coach and has healed from Lichen Sclerosus.  In this episode, we swing the doors wide open on this condition that affects our private areas and causes a lot of itching, burning, scarring, and distress. We explore not only the physical symptoms, but also the muscular impact, and the emotional ramifications as well.

Before we start, this is a VERY open conversation and if you are not comfortable listening to what are sometimes very graphic descriptions of symptoms, this may be an episode that you’d be more comfortable skipping.

If you have a friend who is suffering from Lichen Sclerosus or another vaginal issue, please share this episode so that it can help them as well.

#066 - There is a lot going on in the world right now that's trying to stand between you and your healing.  And it's pissing me off!  So in a break from our regularly scheduled programming, I am bringing you five of the things that are pissing me off and what you can do about them to protect yourself.  While there are probably more than five things in life that are pissing you off right now, my hope is that by helping with these five, it will give you a little relief and some more bandwidth to handle everything else on your plate with a little more ease.

Please note:  While there is a semi-redacted curse word in the title, there are no curse words spoken in this episode.

#062 - This week, I posed a single question to many of the recent podcast guests  “What do you wish you’d known when you’d started out on your Medical Medium health journey?”  And here's what they had to say!

I was quite surprised at the diversity of answers that people gave.  I’m not going to give any away here, but you will notice that some of the advice from one person may sound quite different or even opposite of that from someone else.  And that all has to do with how they approached their health journey and what issues they were dealing with.  What I hope you take from this is that everyone’s journey is different and I hope that there will be at least a few messages that resonate with where you are on your path right now.

#061 - Marilee Nelson, co-founder of Branch Basics, is this week's guest and we discuss her journey to eliminate toxins, chemicals, and radiation from her home and how it saved not only her own life, but the life of her severely chemically-injured son. She imparts some great lessons for dealing with extreme chemical sensitivity and the power of removing toxins from your environment, not just detoxing out old exposures. She also teaches us how we can Toss the Toxins from our homes, drawing on everything that she has studied and learned over the past four decades on this topic. Many of her suggestions are things you can do easily, at little to no cost to you.  

So if you're chemically-sensitive or feeling like you've stagnated on your healing journey and you’re ready to dig deeper, this episode is for you.
