With so much fear and misunderstanding around reproductive health these days, I sat down with Anne Matthews, Fertility Acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner, to learn about her treatment plans for infertility and chronic conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. 

Anne is known as the “fairy godmother of fertility” to the hundreds of patients who seek support at her clinic in Toronto. In our conversation, she walks us through the health markers she looks for when determining the root causes of reproductive health challenges. Anne also highlights the prevalence of male factor infertility and notes lifestyle changes that can dramatically improve a couple’s ability to conceive. 

We also get into how Anne uses medicinal mushrooms in her practice, particularly Reishi, and the research behind other supplements she recommends like N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). Plus, Anne shares why she’s so passionate about empowering her patients to look within for answers instead of defaulting to external solutions. 

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform. 

Topics Covered:

• Why Anne doesn’t believe there’s an influx of infertility, despite what social media might suggest 
• The truth about the impact of stress on reproductive health 
• How heat and cold exposure effect sperm and egg quality 
• Anne’s advice for anyone nervous about getting pregnant at 35+ years old 
• Recommendations for patients who have unexplained infertility

I’m joined by Andrew Carter, one of the co-founders of Smallhold, a beloved mushroom farm that is feeding people across America. Andrew’s agriculture journey started in vertical farming and eventually transitioned into growing mushrooms and a mission to feed the world with fungi. We discuss Smallhold’s evolution from a modest start up in a basement to locations around the country, the mushroom grow cycle, why mushroom farming is so important, and what he loves most about the growing mushroom community. 

I appreciate Andrew for his extensive knowledge on mushrooms, despite not considering himself a mycologist. Andrew shares valuable insights about various types of mushrooms and how they can teach us a lot on both personal and environmental levels. With the help of technology, mushrooms can now thrive in new spaces.

Andrew's mission with Smallhold involves encouraging people to consume more locally-sourced mushrooms and to explore and experiment with them. It is perfectly fine to cultivate mushrooms for food without having a complete understanding of them. The fact that there is still much to discover about mushrooms is what makes them so fascinating.

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform. 

Topics Covered: 

• The mushroom revolution 
• How Andrew got started with Smallhold and the company’s mission 
• Why Andrew and his co-founder Adam started growing mushrooms out of a shipping container
• The role of technology in mushroom farming
• The collective obsession with mushrooms and their many benefits
• Why mushrooms vary in color and size batch by batch and how this can be challenging to keep consistent 
• Interesting experiences with mushrooms and misconceptions about fungi
• Why people should eat more mushrooms 
• 
  

Resources Mentioned:

• Derek Sarno’s mushroom steak

A 20-minute Gratitude Meditation to help you access this powerful, healing state. Studies into the science of gratitude show that reliving stories and memories of when gratitude was genuinely given to you or someone else is the most potent way to shift your neural circuitry into gratitude and a pro-social mindset. Repeated gratitude practice changes how one's brain circuits work and how the brain and heart interact.

Most potent form of gratitude practice is not a form where you give it but where you receive it.

Gratitude, as illuminated by the intricate relationship between our brain and body, is a profound force that can revolutionize our lives. Studies underscore the remarkable power of narratives in fostering gratitude, with the benefits spanning a broad spectrum of well-being, from joy to cardiovascular health, mental resilience, and pro-social behavior. Gratitude's neural pro-social circuits offer a pathway to connect with others and dismantle defensive behaviors, countering Freud's notion that happiness is elusive. However, not all gratitude practices are equally effective; the most potent form lies in receiving thanks rather than giving it, as it activates empathy and Theory of Mind. Crafting an optimal gratitude practice involves immersing oneself in meaningful stories of gratitude, grounding the experience in genuine intentions, and repeating it to rewire the brain-heart connection. Ultimately, gratitude serves as a transformative force that, when harnessed effectively, can shift our neural circuitry, shaping a happier and more fulfilling life.

I'm thrilled to introduce my new friend, Jasper Degenaars, the educational mycologist who runs Fungi Academy. With over 2000 students from 45+ countries, Jasper has taught people about the wonders of mushrooms with a mission to make learning about mycology easy, fun, and exciting! In our conversation, Jasper dives into Fungi Academy's spirit of community, educational mycology, and the healing power of fungi at the intersection of life and death.

We touch on the array of beautifully produced online courses offered by Fungi Academy that contain everything you will ever need to know about mushrooms.

So many overlook the importance of fungi in our ecosystem. Jasper hopes that through education, people will start to see how crucial they are in sustaining life on Earth and fostering a closer connection between humanity and nature. 

Join us for a deep and insightful exploration of the relationship between fungi, nature, and the human experience.

It’s a beautiful time to be in conversation with the lovely Tara Thomas. Tara is a chef, community organizer, and co-founder of the nonprofit, Breaking Bread, and also provides consulting and creative direction in the world of food. In this episode, we chat about her deep hunger (literally) and passion for food ethics and how that evolved into a career focused on bringing awareness to people’s authority over their wellbeing. 

Tara shares how it was important for her work life and personal life to blend, and we discuss Tara’s vision dedicated to food politics and change the world, as well as the importance of rest in contrast to buzzy creative energy. Plus, Tara shares her relationships to fungi and mushrooms and we compare notes on what kind of mushroom we’re currently foraging. 

We can all bring more awareness and appreciation to our food. Tara believes that food sovereignty allows us to understand where our food comes from and serves as gudiance for bringing ethical standards throughout every process of producing food — it affects everything and everyone involved. 

This is a beautiful conversation about creativity, community, and how food sovereignty can provide authority in our own life to nourish ourselves and our communities. 

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform. 

Topics Covered:

• Tara’s entrance into food and imagination as a kid

• How dropping out of school was Tara’s way of finding authority 

• Tara’s interest in studying food politics and the ethics behind food  

• The story of Breaking Bread’s launch during the Geroge Floyd protests

• Rest as resistance in comparison to the energetic creative buzz

• Tara’s love of foraging and what mushrooms have taught her

It’s a beautiful time to be in conversation with my friend and new mother, Chelsea Leyland. Chelsea is the co-founder of the menstrual health and wellness company, Looni, and is an epilepsy and endometriosis plant medicine advocate and activist. In this episode, we chat about her journey with two chronic conditions, natural forms of healing, and the necessity of body literacy throughout the healthcare system.

When there’s no education alongside information, how can informed decisions be made? Chelsea shares her experience with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and how she found cannabidiol to help ease her pain and symptoms. After a later-in-life endometriosis diagnosis, Chelsea began to navigate ways to find healing and ease her pain. Chelsea and I discuss our connection to pain, allopathic vs. naturopathic forms of healing, and how having a “healing toolbox” is powerful for supporting and honoring both our menstrual cycles and the cycles throughout life. 

We can all take steps toward a more holistic, nurturing approach to our bodies, starting with grounding practices to help regulate the nervous system and bring inflammation down. Chelsea believes that education allows us to demand better policies. Because we deserve better. And we deserve awareness and change. 

This is a beautiful conversation about finding personal forms of healing and sharing those findings as an advocate for a healthier, more aware world.

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform. 

Topics Covered:

• How Chelsea’s endometriosis story began with epilepsy

• Chelsea’s life-changing experience with cannabinoids

• Chelsea’s activism and a documentary alongside her sister

• Why it took 10 years to diagnose Chelsea with endometriosis 

• How endometriosis responds to natural medicine and stress management

• Chelsea’s opinion of and connection to pain

• The power of an open mind around healing  

• Looni’s first year in the menstrual health and wellness space

I am delighted to be in conversation alongside my friend and inspiration, Liz Tran. Liz is an executive coach and founder of Reset, an executive coaching company to CEOs and founders, as well as a meditation teacher and Reiki master. In this episode, we talk about Liz’s journey of coming into an altruistic way of life, her struggles along the path, and how sharing her experiences with others ultimately provided her with a newfound sense of purpose. 

External success is inevitable once your internal world is in alignment. Liz shares the process and inspiration around the making of her new book, The Karma of Success, which was built around intuitive work and the inner genius. Liz and I discuss the cycle of comparison, how Human Design shows up in our professional and personal lives, and Liz details the journey of hitting a rock bottom in order to learn true self-worth. 

We can all find professional and personal success once our internal world, actions, and values are in alignment. Liz believes that when we look for the things we love, we are looking for the things in our “zone of genius” —  and can use those findings to tap into our inner voice to find success as our own greatest fan, cheerleader, and leader.  

This is a candid conversation about redefining achievement on your own terms, and Liz’s process for trusting intuition and following it.

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform. 

Topics Covered:

• Liz’s writing process and releasing her book into the world 

• Accessing and trusting your intuition 

• Why Liz wanted to write her book, The Karma of Success  

• How to get off the hamster wheel of comparison

• Liz’s journey toward self-worth and self-love

I am so honored to share this conversation with a gem of a human, Lauren Taus. Lauren integrates modern science and ancient wisdom to support the personal transformation as a Psychedelic Therapist, Educator, and Speaker who hosts retreats and trainings all over the world. In this episode, we talk about the psychedelic space and plant medicines, her work with people across mental health realms as the founder of Inbodied Life, and the importance of a connection to life.    

Intergenerational healing dives into the multilayered aspects of the human condition. Lauren shares her transition from social work into psychotherapy, as well as how psychoactive substances were fused into her career trajectory. Lauren and I also dig into who psychedelics are for and who they may not be for, and the lessons Lauren learned through plants and mushrooms along her journey. 

We are all storytellers, and we all make up stories as well as have stories from our ancestral lines and those before us. Lauren believes we are all carrying content that isn’t actually ours. When we can start to separate from it, we can heal — and in turn, our individual healing can become the collective healing.   

This is a really deep conversation about the psychedelic space and Lauren’s experience with it, as further wisdom to share with the patients and clients she serves today. 

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform. 

Topics Covered:

• Gratitude and reclaiming self-expression and joy
• Lauren’s approach as a therapist to support presence and identify patterns 
• Looking at mental health as a process that requires identification and interruption
• How preparation is essential for psychedelic and work, yet often missing
• How Lauren finds mutual comfortability to support her clients
• Navigating fear and perfectionism with self-love and care 
• Lauren’s work with entrepreneurs and business owners around hyper-performing 
• The importance of connection to find the richness, fullness of life

I am so happy that I get to share this conversation with Lisa O'Connor with you. Lisa is a Creative Entrepreneur, Holistic Nutritionist, Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Healing Practitioner, and Earthling. In this episode, we talk about her journey with chronic illness, and how that has informed so much of her path to create A Radiant Life.

Chronic illness journeys can be constant hurdles of just wanting to be seen and heard, and these conditions and labels can become part of our identity so easily. Lisa and I dig into what happens when you heal, that label is no longer attached to you and you begin processing the grief that leads you to write a new chapter. 

We all have the innate ability to expand from our current reality and create a new foundation for growth — healing to thrive, not just survive. Lisa believes it’s important to always come back to the fact that no one else is going to heal you, but you.

We also cover our relationship with being in connection with nature, Energy Medicine, and all the things that excite Lisa’s body, mind, and soul, which create the basis for healing, both within and without.

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform. 

Topics Covered:

• The science of mantra and using your own sound current

• Lisa’s journey using the 1920s Ride machine for treating Lyme

• The new energy that we are amongst with spring and the Aries New Moon

• Intergenerational inheritance, both in genetics and energy

• Navigating the process of writing a new chapter and crafting a new identity

• Fear that comes into play on our health journeys and how it roots us into our physical existence
