When listener Karen asked for an episode that would enable someone to support another going through a miscarriage, I knew this one needed to happen!

With half of pregnancies ending in miscarriage, this is one of those topics that, even though it has had mixed seasons of being talked about and being hidden, needs to be shared about in an effective way to support those who need help.

In today’s episode, I share about the steps of recovery - immediate physical recovery, immediate and long term physical and emotional recovery, and long term steps to improve overall vitality whether another pregnancy happens or not.

I've been told that the standard response to a woman with ovarian cysts is that they will just have to deal with it. But as you know, that doesn't sit well with me. After one of my girls experienced symptoms of a cyst rupture, I set out on a mission to figure out what we could do to keep them from happening again, and today I share with you my findings, which have since worked for both my daughter and another young client, as well as proven combinations from other herbalists.

So that you never have to experience what I did, I share my testimony of experiencing a severe sunburn after exposure to an interesting plant chemical. I share what chemicals you need to be aware of, what plants they are found in, and what you can do to reduce risk and also address the reaction should you experience one.

Thank you Janet, for today’s podcast topic! While I have talked about bone health in the past, the key for this episode is that no animal products are required for the recommendations I include here! In particular, I talk about osteoporosis and osteopenia. There are so many plant-based options for support, and non-FOOD options! Take a listen, and if you find this episode helpful, please leave a review and share this episode with someone you think it would bless. Thank you!

Also mentioned today were the monthly newsletter and The Herbal Collective. These can be found on www.laureltreewellnessllc.com.

As a holistic practitioner, I recognize that health isdynamic and unique to each person. It also is influenced by many factors – our relationships, our physical environments, our genetics, our schools and jobs, our unique design and purpose, and our day-to-day choices. With all these factors influencing our health, I feel it is only right to also acknowledge that we need more than medication or a supplement, or even a certain herb to help us get better. We are complex, made of body, mind, and soul, so even if my specialty is in herbalism, I feel that if I know about non-herbal tools that can help my clients, I’m going to share them – and there are many!

After I meet with a client, I share a written summary thatincludes my observations and assessment, my herbal and nutritional recommendations, AND any lifestyle tools that I believe will help them reach their goals.

Today, I want to give you a sneak peek at what are the tools I recommend the most to my clients, and the ones I use myself.

The first 11 have been mentioned in previous episodes, so rather than review them thoroughly I list the episodes where you can find them.

Then, I offer in depth details about my additional 5 favorite tools, most of which are free!

Books mentioned in today's episode are: Live Better Longer by Joseph Dispenza and Hazel Parcells, The Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown, Anatomy of an Illness by Norman Cousins, The Tapping Solution by Nick Ortner, and Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve by Stanley Rosenberg.

What is the microbiome? Where is it? Why is it so foundational to many areas of health? And how can we support it besides avoiding antibiotics and taking probiotics? In today's episode I answer these questions, plus talk about specific testing, the nuances of what makes up the microbiome besides bacteria, and the many ways we can help keep it healthy or repair damage. Plus! Top tips for picking probiotic supplements, herbs to work with, and foods (in addition to fermented vegetables) that support your microbiome.

Thank you, Sheldon, for this podcast topic! I have been thinking about cancer for a while, and how I might approach it on the podcast. It's such a vast subject, I couldn't possibly offer you a comprehensive, single episode on this area of illness. However, I can offer you a foundational approach to promoting wellbeing through a cancer journey that applies to those taking steps to minimize risk and to promote overall quality of life and longevity through cancer.

In today's episode I mentioned Holistic Cancer Care by Chanchal Cabrera, The Earthwise Herbal Repertory by Matthew Wood, an Elder's Herbal by David Hoffman, The Practicing Herbalist by Margi Flint, The Gutsy Health Podcast, and Herbal Medicine, Healing and Cancer by Donald Yance.

After sharing last fall about why lab work can be a valuable tool, I wanted to share an example, step by step of how I work through them. What better example than to use myself as a guinea pig!

This year I hired a direct primary care doctor and had a bunch of labs drawn as a baseline for my normal. In today’s episode, I highlight my functional evaluation process by walking you through certain pieces of my labs, one at a time.

The book I mentioned (which I am not being paid to share with you) can be found here: https://a.co/d/064gv7E.
