In Episode 3 we discuss the lens of Energetics in the holistic model.  We talk about: What is a constitution, each of the 6 tissue states, common symptoms/conditions as well as herbal options.

Western Medicine is the only medical system that doesn't have an energetic lens to look through - could this be why those with functional conditions fall through the cracks in our modern medical system?

Listen in to find out what exactly energetics is and why its so important to understand on your holistic healing journey!

In this episode Kristin and David go over different ways stress impacts the body when there is chronic stress. How stress presents in the body will be unique to each person and through a functional herbal medicine approach we can begin to address the underlying cause and offer symptom management.

After a brief introduction to the HPA Axis we cover different ways we can mitigate stress through lifestyle and herbs.

*at the 4:00 minute mark David mentions how the HPA Axis is a positive feed back loop. This is correct however the HPA axis operates on both positive and negative feedback loops
