In this episode of Self Wins with Dr. Nay, we explore gardening as more than a hobby. It’s a pathway to healing, sustainability, and self-sufficiency.

We break down the basics of soil: what it is, how it forms, and the different types that determine what can grow best. You’ll also learn about soil pH and why it matters for nutrient absorption and plant health.

Dr. Nay shares simple, natural ways to enrich your garden using everyday kitchen resources like banana water, potato water, coffee grounds, and compost, while also exploring key plant nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. And how each supports growth, roots, and production.

We also dive into natural pest support using cayenne pepper and cinnamon, the importance of pollinators like bees and butterflies, and companion plants such as marigold and bergamot that help support a thriving garden ecosystem.

To close, we connect gardening back to real life of how growing even a small portion of your own food can support wellness, reduce food costs, and restore a sense of control and connection to what you consume.

This is more than gardening, it’s grounded living, intentional growth, and a reminder that healing can start right in your own soil.

"When You Feel Uncertain — What Your Cells Feel Too”

In this episode, Dr. Nay shares a personal season of waking up every day unsure of what would happen at work — and how that quiet uncertainty affected her nervous system, drained her energy, and showed up in her body.

She breaks down how daily stress impacts your cells, which nutrients get depleted, and simple foods that help restore calm and balance. Plus, she shares a sweet moment of grounding and joy: turning her grandkids’ leftover Halloween candy into Reese’s peanut butter, pepita, and walnut cookies.

A short, heartfelt reminder that even in uncertain times, nourishment and small moments of joy can help your body feel safe again.
