September 16, 2025 Sweat, Purification and Sauna for Divine Healing to Occur
Often times healing is thought of as only physical. But for true healing to occur, our mind, body, and spirit must be at peace and without dis-ease.

In this weeks episode we are talking with Phillip Wilson of Relax Far Infared Sauna; with over 40 years of holistic health experience Phillip discusses how purification practices, sweat, and detox allow the body to become vessel for Divine to come in and healing to occur.

We will be discussing the difference in far infared waves which Phillip calls loving light vs. full spectrum sauna and how sauna therapy can be supportive for inflammation, pain, migraines, autoimmunity, Lyme disease and much more.

As always, this podcast is for education purposes only and not to be used for medical device. Please reach out to your primary care physician for any medical advice.

August 13, 2025 How to Incorporate Blenderized Tube Feedings (Real Food) for Your Healing, Holistic and Herbal Journey
As a former NICU and GI Nurse, G tubes and Blenderized Feeding are a match made in heaven.
Typical formula blends like ensure are a mix of sugar, processed oils, and synthetic vitamins. I would bet my bottom dollar that anyone who was on those long term would have chronic constipation/diarrhea, reflux, indigestion, poor wound healing, and overall poor health.
This is all to common for tube families, but real food is an option to everyone and a way to get deep nourishment in the body.
Whether you take food by mouth or by tube...real food should be accessible to us all.
In this episode we are talking about
-what is tube feeding
-how real, blenderized feeds can support digestion, the microbiome, gut healing which in turn supports overall health.
-how to transition to blenderized feeds
-how herbal medicine can be apart of your g tube journey
HEALING ALWAYS my tubie families <3

How do mushrooms support gut health which in turn supports hormones & inflammation?
Do mushroom coffees & mushroom chocolates actually work?
What is the best ways to take mushrooms for gut health? Tinctures, capsules, can we just cook plain old mushrooms?
empty stomach or with food?
What are the prebiotic, polysaccharide beta-glucans from mushrooms and how do they support our gut microbiome (good gut bacteria)?
How do mushrooms increase butyrate (SCFA) in the gut?
For folks who can't break down chitin and have a reaction to mushrooms - can mushroom tinctures be beneficial instead of powders or whole mushrooms?
When in doubt....make mushroom broth <3

August 06, 2025 How GI-MAP Testing Can Uncover The Root Cause of Your Symptoms
THIS WEEKS PODCAST: HOW GI-MAP TESTING CAN UNCOVER THE ROOT CAUSE OF YOUR SYMPTOMS.
If you've been following along you know one thing about me I AM A ROOT CAUSE MEDICINE girly aka I always want to figure out WHY something is happening so we can bring your body back into balance and let it do what it does best.
The body is designed to heal and thrive when given what it needs.
This week we are talking about GI-MAP or microbiome testing and how it uncovered a low level of a specific bacteria that supports metabolic function, insulin resistance, and weight loss in two of my clients who were struggling with metabolic imbalance. Akkermansia
AND my own GI-MAP that I ran for loose stools and reflux which showed H.Pylori, and low levels of Staph + Pseudomonas (which is pretty normal for these overgrowths)
and the specific herbal plan I made to clear up these overgrowths and get back into balance :)
GI-MAP testing can take the guess work out of WHY we are having gut symptoms, show us clearly what is going on, and then create a unique plan using herbs and supplements SPECIFICALLY for your needs.
Saving us time + money in the long run. Oh and of course...feeling better again <3
Be Gutsy + Healing Always

August 04, 2025 Do We Need Supplements To Be Healthy?
TO SUPPLEMENT OR NOT SUPPLEMENT...THAT IS THE QUESTION.
I get these Q's a lot
Is supplementation necessary?
Do I need supplements to be healthy?
What supplements are going to "fix" this issue?
The answer? It depends.
It's confusing when the supplement industry is a 203 BILLION DOLLAR industry, we feel sicker than ever yet ....never in human history were we encapsulating products and we were fine. So what gives??
P.s. this is the beautiful part about science or testing especially in autoimmunity, cancers, gut dysbiosis, diabetes, and more because we can use lab data to help with targeted supplementation and herbal remedies and retest to ensure we are going in the right direction.
Tune in for this weeks episode <3

July 30, 2025 Sacral Chakra - Tapping into Your Unique Creativity So You Can flow through life
As humans we all have unique gifts we came here with. Often times we shut down our most authentic selves out of fear.
Instead what if we realized that we were meant to share our gifts with the the world, that was the reason we are here, that no one else has our medicine. What if being in that creative flow state was how we were supposed to live, not just something we shoved in the closet?
Time to live in flow and birth creativity

Dive into how to make your own soothing and healing tea for acid reflux and GERD.
I had GERD in my early 20's and naturally healed it by using this tea blend that I share in this weeks podcast episode.
Gnawing sensations and heartburn don't have to be your normal and with lifestyle changes, natural remedies, and herbal teas...you too can find relief and ease.
We talk about
-- What reflux is
- How it is caused
-Why stomach acid isn't the "bad guy" but is just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
-Why the LES (lower esophageal sphincter) is weak and allows stomach acid to reflux back into the esophagus
-My favorite tea blends for healing and soothing like marshmallow root, calendula, chamomile, and licorice root.
As always this is for education purposes and please consult your doctor before taking any herbs.
Healing vibes always, Enjoy!
