Send us a textIn this honest and energizing conversation, Ann Marie sits down with 64-year-old Australian naturopath, speaker, and wellness rebel Jennifer Jefferies – aka @presentdaywisewoman – to talk about how women can embrace midlife and menopause without fear, extremes, or pharma dependency. Jen brings over 30 years of clinical experience, a surfboard, and a no-BS attitude to the conversation. Once a burned-out pharmaceutical rep, she made a full 180 after hitting the wall in her 20s and rebuilding her health using naturopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and her beloved “bare-ass minimum” (BAM) approach to wellness.This is a must-listen episode for any woman feeling confused, overwhelmed, or exhausted by the barrage of menopause messages out there.Highlights include:Why we're told menopause is a disaster – and why it doesn't have to beHow adrenal burnout is at the core of crappy perimenopause (even if your doctor won't admit it)The truth about estrogen “deficiency” and why we're not meant to keep producing it foreverWhat Western medicine gets wrong about hormone therapyThe rise of adrenal fatigue in the pandemic aftermathJen's Bare-Ass Minimum Plan to restore vitality, joy, and hormonal balanceWhy she swears by: going to bed before 10 p.m., eating close to nature 80% of the time, and having fun – yes, fun!What happens when we stop outsourcing our health and tune into our own wisdomAbout Jennifer Jefferies:Jennifer Jefferies is a veteran naturopath, speaker, author, and wellness educator with over three decades of clinical experience. Based on the Gold Coast of Australia, she's known for her refreshingly simple, radically realistic, and unapologetically fun approach to health and aging. She surfs at sunrise, gardens in her downtime, and helps women around the world step into their power.Where to find her:IG @thepresentdaywisewomanLearn more: jenniferjefferies.comAnn Marie's Takeaway:If you've been overwhelmed by the ever-moving bar of “what you should be doing” in midlife – from maxing out protein to lifting impossible weights – this episode is your permission slip to reset. Jen's message is simple: go back to basics, listen to yourself, and live from a place of prevention. Episode sponsor:Thanks to Menolabs for sponsoring this episode.

Have you ever wondered how to understand plants on a deeper level, beyond “This herb is good for that thing?” If so, you won't want to skip this post!   I am excited to be joined today by my colleague, friend, and teacher, Pam Montgomery. Pam is an herbalist, author, international teacher, earth elder, and new paradigm thinker who passionately embraces her role as a spokesperson for the green beings. She has investigated plants and their intelligent spiritual nature for over three decades.   Pam is the author of Co-Creating with Nature: Healing the Wound of Separation and the highly acclaimed Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working With Plant Consciousness. She teaches internationally and virtually on plant initiations, spiritual ecology, and co-creative partnership with nature. Pam founded the Organization of Nature Evolutionaries (ONE) and served as a founding board member of the United Plant Savers.   I first met Pam when I was in my early twenties, and she has been an instrumental teacher for me on my plant path, providing valuable guidance, knowledge, and wisdom about plants. I'm happy to share her wisdom with you.   Here's what you'll learn from our conversation: What does being in a co-creative partnership with nature mean, and how do we get into it? How do we differentiate between a plant communicating with us vs. our own thoughts? What are plant initiations, and what can we learn from them?

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Dr. Howard Walsdorf about how the four classical elements—fire, air, water, and earth—form the foundation of Western health and healing, and how integrating this ancient wisdom can support natural living, posture, and overall well-being today. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-howard-walsdorf    Highlights from today's episode include:   Dr. Howard Walsdorf  As little as we walk today, we put this soft stuff there to even insulate us even further from drawing that earth principle, as I call it, or forced energy that makes that earth element within us, our bones and our sturdiness quotient, less effective.   Dr. Howard Walsdorf  But let me say this is that the fascia is a connective tissue, and so from a muscular skeletal system, way of perspective is water, is your ligaments and your connective tissue. From another perspective, in this holistic schematics, these patterns, these principles, keep finding places to show up.   Manon Bolliger  22:56 so if you have the right posture, breathing is a non issue, right? We don't think about it anyways. But if you're in the right posture, it's, it's, I would say, even more automatic, but it goes deeper, right?   ABOUT DR. HOWARD WALSDORF: Dr. Howard Walsdorf is a veteran holistic chiropractic and natural healer, author, speaker, and expert in the ancient wisdom of the four elements and natural living. His latest book, Fire, Air, Water & Earth: Apply an Ancient Wisdom to Your Life; aims to revitalize modern society by introducing a compelling new holistic paradigm for healthier living and healing, integrating the principles embodied by the four elements: fire, air, water and earth. As founder of The Four Element Institute and visionary behind the  Growing Holistically community, Dr. W. is on a mission to inspire and educate people to think, live and heal in more natural ways. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose/mission is to bring an ancient knowldge back into our time – the Fire, Air, Water & Earth of nature. For over four thousand years the smartest and wisest of many civilizations focused on it. It continuously boggles my mind that few doctors and others are talking about them. I've been focused on them for 40 years. They've served me well.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed trying to learn herbal medicine and astrology?    This is one of the biggest challenges I hear from people studying herbalism on its own… throw astrology on top of it, and it just seems like too much. They say, “I was already overwhelmed trying to learn how to become a great herbalist. And now, to practice this way, I have to learn the massive system of astrology too. I'm busy with my day job, family, home, and garden, and it's too much.”   But it doesn't have to be that way! There is a strategic approach that allows you to study herbal medicine and astrology at the same time. The philosophical bases of both herbal medicine and astrology are, at their core, one and the same- for they are built off the same fundamental blueprint of nature.    When you study these fundamental principles and patterns of astrology and herbalism simultaneously, it enhances your learning of both systems, making it quicker to learn them and thus incorporate them into your work with people.    This is what I call the Zodiacal Study Strategy.   It is a model for study that you can incorporate into the time you have available—or rather the time you create—to optimize your learning process of both herbalism and astrology. It is built on the similarities between the philosophical foundations of holistic herbalism and astrology, or what I think of as the architecture of the zodiac. As with anything worth learning, you must make time to study, integrate, and practice. Unfortunately, it won't magically appear. What differentiates a good herbalist or astrologer from a great one is discipline and consistency in studying and gaining experience. And it's about using your time strategically. What follows is one year's worth of study. By the end of that year, you will have a solid foundation in both astrological medicine and clinical herbal medicine.   ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

You'll hear: The emotional patterns behind stubborn physical symptoms How Chinese Medicine connects emotions to specific organs (and what that means for you) Why being “too sensitive” might actually be your superpower What emotional mastery really looks like (hint: it's not perfection) Simple ways to start listening to your body today If you've been feeling stuck, out of balance, or like your body is yelling at you — this episode is for you. Want to go deeper? The Balanced Woman is where I teach this emotional mastery in depth — you can join anytime, click here to visit my site and learn all about it!

Have you ever wondered how science views medical astrology or whether it has been proven "true?" Should we consider astrology a valid tool for understanding health, or is it just pseudoscience?   Astrological medicine is a central part of our approach to herbal medicine here at The School of Evolutionary Herbalism, so it's a topic we discuss regularly. Today, we're breaking down medical astrology's relationship to scientific and pragmatic truth and proof, and what really matters.   Here's what you'll find in this episode: The goal of the tools we use—what matters most?

Send us a text In this episode of Teen Anxiety Maze, I welcome the extraordinary Dr. Tara Perry, a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Doctor of Chinese Medicine whose approach to anxiety has transformed celebrities, Olympians, and thousands of everyday people struggling with invisible burdens.Have you ever wondered why your teen's anxiety persists despite their best efforts? Dr. Perry reveals the profound truth: we're often operating on outdated internal programming installed between ages 2-10, carrying invisible 100-pound backpacks of emotional weight we don't even realize we're bearing.This conversation unveils the magnificent power of your subconscious mind - processing an astounding 40 MILLION bits of information per second compared to just 40 bits consciously. Dr. Perry shares breathtaking stories of transformation, including her 89-year-old mother healing a shattered kneecap through subconscious work, and a military veteran finding peace after years of maximum-level PTSD.What touched me deeply was realizing how we unknowingly pass anxiety through generations, modeling for our children what we learned from our parents. But here's the beautiful truth - this cycle can be broken, often more quickly than you'd imagine.Dr. Perry offers practical wisdom for immediate implementation:The "puppy dog" approach to retraining your nervous systemWhy celebrating small wins rewires your brain for successHow diet, breath work, and connection create the foundation for lasting changeThis episode isn't just information—it's an invitation to transformation for both you and your teen.

Do you wake up feeling stressed? Do you immediately think about all the things you have to do and experience a sense of dread? Lisa continues the conversation today with our guest, author and spiritual teacher Blake Bauer. Blake's international bestselling book is “You Were Not Born to Suffer: Overcome Fear, Insecurity and Depression and Love Yourself Back to Happiness, Confidence and Peace.” Blake suggests if you are waking up and feeling stressed, you may not know how to have a healthy relationship with yourself. You may not know how to love yourself. He knows that life does not have to be this way. You are so much more. When you take note of how you feel in the morning, you can work with what's present. Blake suggests 10 minutes of meditation first thing in the morning. Your thoughts will shape your day. When you wake up and dislike your life, you are activating fear, stress, and anxiety. You start to make yourself sick with your thoughts. By meditating, you learn to have thoughts that serve you. You can activate healthy neural networks which will help you to create more of what you want in your life. You can override stressful thoughts and create your day by being disciplined and mindful with your thoughts. Why not use your thoughts to create a better reality? It all starts with self-love. You can begin with intentions. You can state affirmations. By doing these practices you get your mind ready to receive. It's Law of Attraction. Conversely, if you are suffering, you are hurting yourself and not even realize you may be hurting others. As the saying goes, “Hurt people hurt people.” Blake talks about the science of self-healing and how when you learn to filter your thoughts with more loving, mindful practices and you act on integrity, the love, light, and healthy energy inside can transform you. It involves self-care. The love inside will help you rid the sorrow and trauma. Your anger can be healed, and you can learn to forgive. You do not have to live in a place of suffering. The more you release what holds you back, the quicker you can move forward. You can create positive energy and possibilities. We can start with one tiny act of kindness, and that will begin to make all the difference. When he was in school studying Chinese Medicine, Blake also learned about the practice of Qi Gong and how this gentle, loving form of exercise has been a tremendous help to his physical state.  He found it was the perfect way to find peace, by bridging movement with his meditation practice. He explains that Qi Gong is the foundation of all of Chinese Medicine and a way to unlock what's stuck and clear any blocks. It's another way to give yourself permission to feel worthy and send that signal to the universe! Info: www.unconditional-selflove.com

Most traditions of herbal medicine across the world use the fundamental principle of antipathetic medicine in their approach to therapeutics. But in the practice of alchemical medicine—based on Paracelsianism— and in astro-herbalism, another approach is commonly used: sympathetic medicine. In this episode, we'll explore some of the principles of sympathetic medicine, how it differs from the antipathetic approach, and how we can work with it to deepen our understanding of plant to planet correspondences.   Here's an overview of what you'll learn: The key differences between sympathetic and antipathetic medicine How to think through planetary correspondences in plants and more importantly, in practice The various layers of herbal sympathy to planets such as organ affinities, energetics, and herbal actions How herbs can paradoxically embody both sympathetic AND antipathetic qualities to a singular planetary force Refining clinical application through the Triune System Warning: this is a slightly more advanced discussion relating to astro-herbalism and planetary correspondences in plants.

Do you feel constant stress? Are you exhausted and suffering? According to our guest today, author and teacher Blake Bauer, you were NOT born to suffer. He has helped thousands of people find freedom through what he practices and teaches about self-love. Blake grew up in Chicago under very tough circumstances. His parents divorced and he was surrounded by abuse, drugs, and addiction. By the time he reached high school, he was a user of drugs and alcohol himself as a way to cope and numb his own pain. He was running away from his problems, and he admits he couldn't ask for help. He had no healthy models around him, so he learned unhealthy coping mechanisms. He learned how to hurt himself through self-destructive tendencies in order to survive.   Finally, after a night of heavy partying, he realized he had to find a way to heal, or he would die. He had taken drugs and was drinking and found himself asleep in his car in front of a freight train. He admits that he had a big ego and being a teenager at the time, he thought he was invincible. When the police found him, he didn't realize what was happening. He was arrested with a DUI and they found drugs in the car. At this time, he was a senior in high school and a superstar football player. He was the captain of his team and had multiple offers to play at colleges. The coach found out about his DUI and kicked him off the team. Blake's identity and his world were crumbling. He lost his football friends and felt so ashamed of his behavior.  He was often suicidal. This pain was so strong, and he desperately sought out answers to find freedom from his suffering. He had no idea what to do. He began looking for answers as to how to heal. He asked himself, what is the purpose of it all? He was in so much trauma but took accountability for everything that was happening. He felt so sick inside. All he wanted to do was find relief. Slowly, with mental strength, he began to explore healthier options. He learned to eat healthy, take vitamins, do yoga, and meditate.  He did not go back to drugs and alcohol. He grew up around extreme addiction and saw how devastating it could be.  He realized he was following in the same pattern, and he knew he had to change. His healthy pride kicked in and he overrode his genetic and environmental influences. Blake talks about how he attended five different universities as a seeker. He sought out teachers and authors who could help him heal. Practices became a major part of his healing.  He could feel the power in yoga and meditation. He studied psychology as well as traditional Chinese Medicine, including acupuncture and energy healing. Blake also discusses how he is not a victim. He takes 100% responsibility for his actions. He started going to workshops and retreats to continue to find answers. He knew he had to heal, or he would die. When he was in his early 20s, he began teaching meditation in the back of a vitamin store where he was working. He could see that most forms of disease stem from not loving ourselves. We never learned how to do that as children. He linked how our thoughts and emotions can lead to disease or to healing. He was in so much pain when he was younger, but he knew it didn't have to be that way. He decided to write a book and was rejected by more than 100 agents and publishers. He eventually self-published and it became a #1 self-help book in Australia where he was living. His international bestseller is “You Were Not Born to Suffer: Overcome Fear, Insecurity and Depression and Love Yourself Back to Happiness, Confidence and Peace.” So how can we live in a way to alleviate suffering? By learning to love ourselves! If you learn to love yourself, you'll have access to everything you need inside. You can learn to value yourself and develop self-respect. Blake explains that you are either hurting yourself or helping yourself with your thoughts. He shares ways to take care of yourself and develop habits so you too can heal!

Where does your body end and the Earth begin? In this episode, we explore the real and poetic parallels between human health and planetary health, and how nature's language moves in our bodies. Joining me is Dr. Mackenzie Hall, a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Functional Medicine, who helps us trace the Earth's vital systems through the lens of humans as ecological systems.We ask:How could one imagine the Earth's vital organs as reflected in human anatomy?How does the Earth balance and health and detoxify, and how might this mirror how we work with our own bodies?  How does the body's energetic system hold, manage and deal with pathology? How do we listen for the Earth's pulse?How could this affect how we work as earth protectors and regenerators? This brings up a profound point: if we are to ensure the Earth's aliveness, we have to feel it as our own body. And, if we can sense the Earth's rhythms as our own, can we also become its white blood cells, human agents of healing embracing and embodying its circulatory wildness?Episode Website Link: https://www.lifeworld.earth/episodes-blog/theecologyofhealthShow Links:Aaro WellnessThe Web that has no Weaver"Understanding Chronic Illness"Alexa's Article: Our Planet's BloodEarth's Frequencies: Schumann ResonancesYellow Emperor's Classic (Classical text upon which all Chinese Medicine is based)Biocubes.net: Infographic on living and human biomass on earthMeditation: The Cosmos in Your FoodMusic: Electric Ethnicity by Igor Dvorkin, Duncan Pittock, Ellie Kidd & The Rising by Tryad CCPL.

In medical astrology, astral polarities offer profound insights into the body's interconnected systems, revealing hidden relationships between organ functions and celestial archetypes. By studying opposing zodiac signs, we gain a deeper understanding of how the various parts of the body interact. This perspective aligns with holistic traditions like Ayurveda, which recognize the dynamic interplay between organs, emotions, and physiological processes.  Each axis in astrology represents a functional system within the body rather than isolated structures. These polarities provide a framework for understanding health imbalances and how bodily systems influence one another.    In this episode, I'll delve into the intersection of astrology, herbalism, and organ systems.  Here's a quick overview of what you'll learn: Understanding Astral Polarities – Explore the six axes that govern bodily functions and how opposite signs create dynamic physiological relationships in the body Interconnected Organ Systems – Insights into how astrology reveals hidden relationships between the organ systems Astrology & Herbalism – How medical astrology enhances our ability to assess health imbalances and create effective solutions.
