Today I talk with homeopath, transpersonal therapist, and shamanic practitioner Declan Hammond. His life and work has been a passionate search for the most effective healing tools for himself and his patients. This journey has taken him all over the globe studying Eastern and Western approaches to healing, tantra yoga and traditional shamanic practices.

We cover so much good stuff in today's episode including his journey to becoming a healer, how society mislabels spiritual awakenings and extrasensory gifts as psychological disorders, how to integrate these "psychosis states" and turn them into gifts, what potential gifts our current times are bringing us, and much more.

Welcome to episode 13! Today, I am honored to have Dr. Roland Guenther of Vancouver Island Homeopathy on the podcast. Roland has a deeply profound view of life, healing, the nature of disease, and homeopathy that has been shaped by over 30 years of experience. A product of World War II, Roland sought solace and hope in medicine from a young age. He believes that by getting in touch with nature and all that life has to teach us we have an opportunity to grow and evolve far beyond what we could have had we never gotten sick in the first place.

Welcome to episode 12 of the Ripened Heart Podcast! Today I have on my friend Fiona Aedgar who is a karmic astrologer from Northern Ireland. Fiona is a rare breed. She is the perfect blend of straight talk, truth telling, and wisdom that shakes you out of unhelpful patterns and awakens you to your true potential. While she isn't a "airy fairy love and light" astrologer as she likes to say, her no b.s. approach to astrology is much needed in a time of fear, lies, and ungroundedness that can make it hard to see a bright future ahead. By knowing your natal chart and your current transits, you can forge ahead with clarity and centeredness on even the darkest of nights. 

We really run the gambit in this episode and go deep into how Fiona approaches her readings through the lens of karmic astrology, ancestral astrology, and why it's so important to be aware of your Chiron placement in your chart. We also discuss the importance of connecting to our ancestors during these times and how healing it is to be connected to an ancestral path. This and lots more in today's episode!

I am DELIGHTED to have my mentor Doug Brown on the podcast today! Doug Brown is a graduate of Yale University School of Nursing and the Hahnemann College of Homeopathy. He became a homeopath when after 11 years of working with conventional medicine as a Family Nurse Practitioner he remained dissatisfied with its failure to cure chronic disease and with its fragmentation of care.

We cover so many deep topics today - including:

And more!

Today I'm stoked to be joined by Laura Lyons of Wild Lyons Wellness! Laura Lyons is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. She is the owner of Wild Lyons Wellness and the founder of Wild + Well-Fed Wellness Collective. She is a women’s health nutritionist with a focus on metabolism, hormones and digestion.

We discussed the winding road of ups and downs that was her healing journey and how she experimented with nutrition until she found what was right for her body. Turns out, the methodology she found would go on to help many other women in her practice!

She also shares about how homeopathy played a role in curing chronic debilitating migraines, psoriasis, and eczema. If you have ever suffered from those things you know how they can make an impact on your ability to get through the day.

Time to dive into Part 2 of the intro to medical astrology! Today we go through the remainder of the 6 zodiac signs from Libra to Pisces and detail what each sign rules in the human body and what to areas to pay more attention to when it comes to your health according to medical astrology! I highly recommend having a good base knowledge of all of the signs because depending on the season or transits to your chart, an imbalance can be created and by knowing the basics you'll be able to troubleshoot and get back into balance. 

Enjoy!

Did you know that your sun sign and other significant planetary placements in your birth chart play a role in your health? Yup! I was skeptical when I first heard about medical astrology but after looking back at my medical history and what health issues I'm prone to they 100% match up with my sun sign and my rising/moon sign! I've even noticed that difficult transits can bring out the related imbalances as well.

Enjoy Part 1 of the introduction to medical astrology! And I want to know - what's your sun/moon/rising? Do you notice a correlation between your health issues and your sign?

WOW. Today's episode with Krista Rivet truly blew me away. Krista is a Classical Homeopath who was awakened to the healing power of homeopathy when her son came down with a gnarly infection that conventional medicine couldn't do anything about. Soon after she saw her son reverse his condition (quickly!) before her very eyes, she knew she had to learn more. 

Krista takes us through the story of how she has healed herself and her family from acute, chronic, and downright serious pathologies using Homeopathy. She also walks us through what it's like to see a classical homeopath and how it differs from other natural modalities. Finally, she tells us some of her favorite healing stories that she has seen in her practice. 

Homeopathy is more important to learn than ever before! Whether you decide to learn acute homeopathy for colds, flus, breaks, sprains, and other acute illnesses yourself or you go to a homeopath to help reverse chronic illness unsolved by other healing modalities, it's such an important tool to have in your tool kit.

Krista's Book Recommendations:

Dying To Be Me - Anita Moorjani

The Science of Homeopathy - George Vithoulkas

Power vs Force - David R. Hawkins

The Biology of Belief - Bruce Lipton

Today on the podcast I'm joined by Lydia Joy to explore the relationship between our mineral status and our mental and physical health. Did you know that having a mineral imbalance can have an impact on your personality and how you see the world? Mineral balancing is a delicate dance because all minerals have a relationship with each other. Take too much calcium and you get a magnesium deficiency. Consume too much salt and you deplete potassium. It's complicated stuff! And with all of the stress we've been experiencing in the past year our bodies are more depleted of minerals than ever before. 

Lydia Joy is an empowered single mom of four boys. She is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Mind-Body Coach, teacher, mentor & writer. She supports a whole person approach to create a path for women to step into authenticity & freedom. Lydia's intuitive approach empowers exhausted women to get their spark back using Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. We talk all about Lydia's journey to becoming a practitioner, how to heal from burnout, how she healed her son's many health complaints, and so much more!
