I've been delighting in preparing hearty meals that warm both body and spirit, and it feels like the perfect moment to share some insights about the transformative journeys of those I work with—individuals seeking a more sustainable and compassionate approach to their health.

Episode #208: Let's Build Stronger Guts: The Sexy Truth About Fiber & Microbiome Health

In this episode I take a dive into a topic that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves but thankfully it’s starting to -  is absolutely crucial to your health—fiber. Yes, fiber.

You may have heard it’s essential, but do you really know why? Let’s dig in and talk about the amazing, transformative power of fiber and its relationship with your gut and overall well-being.

But first  . . . I feel like in the holistic health space, it seems like everyone's been searching for solutions to their problems, and for over a decade, the main advice has been: "Just eliminate it."

But short-term relief doesn't equal true healing or recovery. Categorical eliminations galore—cutting out dairy because it’s "bad," going gluten-free because wheat is "bad," actually wait we should avoid all grains, oh and also let’s avoid legumes too  or avoiding a myriad of other plant...

Episode #207: The Microbiome Revolution: Why It’s Time to Rethink Gut Health

Listen on iTunes HERE

In recent years, we’ve learned so much about the microbiome and its impact on overall health. Our understanding of gut health has evolved dramatically, and with it, our approach to healing the gut. But what does it really mean to heal your gut? The answer lies in one simple truth: healing your gut means rebuilding your microbiome.

Microbes Matter More Than You Think

Our relationship with food and gut health has never been static. The way we eat and how food is produced has always evolved, driven by environmental changes, resources, and our ever-expanding understanding of what true health looks like. Yet, as humans, we cling to familiar patterns—especially when it comes to our health. We tend to defend our habits and resist change, even when they no longer serve us.

In the realm of gut health, this resistance often shows up in the form of rigid dietary protocols, q...

Mushrooms have always held a special place in my heart and health journey.

Today, I want to expand on that conversation and offer you a deeper look into the fascinating world of mushrooms. Let’s explore the profound health benefits they provide, the science behind their healing properties, and how you can start incorporating them into your life with intention and respect.

As Above, So Below: What My Foot Injury Taught Me About Building a Strong Foundation for Optimal Well-Being

The phrase "As above, so below" recently took on new meaning for me. It’s a reminder of the harmony that exists in nature, where what happens on one level of reality is reflected on every other level. This balance is not just external—it’s mirrored within our bodies as well. Alchemists understood this deeply, seeing the connection b...

In this podcast episode I share a lot of perspective on why we need to consider probiotics in the modern world - my favorite one to start with. I talk about why fermented foods may not do what we think and what we need to consider beyond probiotics because they are not silver bullets. Lots of good insight in this one so you can consider the big picture of your health scape when it comes to considering probiotic use. 

Understanding Probiotics: Do You Need Them?

Today, let's dive into the topic of probiotics.

**Probiotic**
**PRO** = For
**BIOTIC** = Life

Do you need a probiotic? Does your gut need a boost in life?

Lately, in conversations with friends and colleagues, the subject of probiotics keeps coming up. Many are losing faith—do they actually work? Are they beneficial, or could they cause harm?

In the health and wellness community, I've noticed some saying that not everyone needs probiotics, ...

In this episode I'm still savoring the spring by highlighting one of my favorite wild greens, nettles. I share more about it and what it helps with particularly as a women's hormones ally. Then I opened up a conversation about perimenopause from my own personal perspective then with my practitioner hat on too. I would love to hear from you once you listen as to any take-aways you may have had.

Last year marked a significant milestone for me: I successfully harvested all my own nettles from the wild for personal use, sharing some with friends along the way. It was a goal I had set for myself, and I’m grateful to nature for her abundant nourishment. During my last harvest, I found myself singing to the nettle patch, and I've realized how important it is to connect with the plants we gather from the earth.

I’d like to share my song with you:
