Lindsey shares her early plant story from Detroit and explores why wholeness in herbalism includes everything from botany and phytochemistry to formulation, energetics, clinical thinking, and direct plant experience.

If you're a health-focused entrepreneur who hustles hard but feels inflamed, exhausted, wired-but-tired, or out of rhythm with your body, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore how chronic stress, circadian rhythm disruption, and nervous system overload are quietly driving inflammation, burnout, gut issues, hormone imbalance, and immune dysfunction—especially in high-achieving women. We talk about Ayurveda as a practical, modern lifestyle framework, not a trend, and how understanding your elemental design (dosha) can help you work with your biology instead of constantly fighting it. This episode is a grounding reminder that you can still be ambitious—and healthy—at the same time. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Why Stress Creates Inflammation (Even If You Eat "Healthy") Chronic mental and emotional stress keeps the nervous system locked in fight-or-flight, which directly fuels physical inflammation and chronic disease. We talk about why you can't live in hustle mode 24/7 without eventually draining your reserves—and how burnout is often the body's last signal to slow down. 2. Circadian Rhythm and Seasonal Hustle Not every season of life is meant for full throttle. We discuss how circadian rhythm and elemental design teach us when to push—and when to rest—so we don't burn out the very bodies we rely on to build our businesses. 3. Ayurveda 101: Understanding Your Elemental Design Dr. Shivani breaks down the three Ayurvedic constitutions in a modern, relatable way: Vata (air + ether): creative, fast-moving, prone to anxiety, dryness, insomnia Pitta (fire + water): driven, focused, prone to irritability, inflammation, overheating Kapha (earth + water): steady, nurturing, prone to sluggish metabolism, stagnation Knowing your type helps you eat, work, rest, and self-regulate more effectively—especially as an entrepreneur. 4. Food as Grounding, Not Restriction We talk about why: Vata types often need more carbs and healthy fats, not less Pitta types need cooling foods to calm inflammation Kapha types thrive with movement and warm, easy-to-digest meals This conversation reframes food as nourishment and regulation—not control. 5. Perimenopause, Menopause & Hormonal Shifts We dive into how Ayurveda supports women through hormone changes by focusing on: Sleep quality Gut health Stress regulation Circadian rhythm alignment Herbal and lifestyle support Rather than fearing these transitions, we talk about how to move through them with more resilience and self-trust.

We sit down with master blender and COO Kieran Walsh of Big Easy Spirits to unpack a five-year whiskey aged in used cooperage and layered with precise infusions—baking spices, citrus peels, and verdant herbs—that amplify what whiskey already does well. No cloying sweetness, no camouflage, just a thoughtfully built 86 proof pour that blooms on ice, hums in a hot toddy, and reshapes what “flavored” can mean without losing its whiskey core.Kieran's journey runs from wine production and restrained oak philosophy to High West's blending lab, where the idea of barrel-aged cocktails and Amaro architecture took root. That background shows in every decision: used barrels keep the oak in line, botanicals track existing whiskey notes rather than fighting them, and the proof point preserves structure in cocktails while staying approachable neat. We explore how hydrophobic compounds unlock aroma with water and heat, why category rules forced a new lane beyond “flavored whiskey,” and how New Orleans—more gumbo than single note—became both muse and proving ground.We also get practical. Expect serving ideas from a minimalist Bourbon Street hot toddy (just whiskey and hot water) to an absinthe-kissed riff worthy of the Old Absinthe House. Kieran shares distribution plans rooted in local love first, then careful expansion to Texas, the Florida panhandle, Mississippi, California, and more. He teases future releases, including older base stocks with alternate infusions and two bourbons waiting in tank—early tasters' reactions ranged from “holy shit” to wide-eyed silence.If you're curious about whiskey innovation, botanical infusions, New Orleans cocktail culture, and how to bridge the gap between purist pours and sugar-heavy flavor bombs, this one's for you.

Have you ever found yourself asking, “Why am I always cold?”In this episode, I explore coldness through a vitalist and herbal lens, understanding it not as a problem to fix, but as a signal from the body.From a Western herbal perspective, feeling cold can reflect environmental exposure, stress and depletion, lack of nourishment or rest, grief, or a vital force that has grown tired. Rather than forcing warmth, we begin by listening.

Almost 80% of Americans take supplements — and that number keeps growing. It's no surprise supplements are everywhere. Herbal products alone bring in more than $12 billion a year The U.S. supplement industry is raising safety standards without banning trusted herbs. Experts advocate for clearer rules, improved testing, and consumer protection while maintaining access to beneficial natural products Europe is reversing course, with new European Union (EU) rules possibly requiring reformulations, restricting online sales, and limiting access to ingredients like ashwagandha Supplements have an exceptional, long-standing safety record, with serious adverse effects being rare compared to many medications In contrast to pharmaceuticals, which carry FDA-mandated "black box" warnings for known lethal risks, there has never been a confirmed death recorded as the direct result of taking a dietary supplement as intended

After an 11-month break, I'm back in the saddle with clinical herbalist Aron McNicholas for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with terrain theory vs. germ theory—and expands into live blood analysis, modern lab testing, spagyrics, Weston A. Price-inspired nutrition, and why being in relationship with plants still matters. ABOUT THE GUEST Aron McNicholas is a clinical herbalist and practitioner based in Indiana, working with clients in-person and virtually (with a strong focus on cancer support).  He's studied with a wide range of teachers, blends traditional herbalism with modern assessment tools, and runs Hartwood Herbs—making personalized preparations for clients and sharing herbal education through classes, plant walks, and conferences.

Drawing from personal experience, clinical practice, and ecological awareness, she explains how petrochemicals, industrial agriculture, and environmental toxins disrupt human health—especially the gut microbiome, mitochondria, and detox pathways. The conversation moves from root causes to practical, accessible steps people can take, including food choices, herbs, lifestyle shifts, and community action.

Kimberly's journey began in childhood, crafting magical plant stews and foraging connections with Michigan's native flora.

What a profound conversation this was—a real unpacking of principles, where the philosophical meets the deeply practical.   The core of this whole thing, as we dug into with Ann Cecil-Sterman, revolves around the true action of herbs, which—from the Taoist lineage we follow—comes down to pure taste, not just some chemical breakdown. It's that deeper "flavor sensing in the stomach." My journey with Superfeast has been about living the great Yin-Yang puzzle: holding the intense contrast between deep Taoist tradition and the necessary reductionist language for Western practitioners. That dance is what yields the "pearls of reciprocity"—the philosophical gifts you get from the endeavor itself.   On a much deeper, personal layer, we dove into the conversation of living one's true blueprint—that invisible path that keeps calling you—and the absolute non-negotiable commitment to staying engaged with your purpose, no matter what external role the world tries to pin on you (like "CEO").   Finally, we hit the essential travel principles. Ann gave a brilliant reminder about how much flying is a test of our fluids. To counter the hyper-dry, sterile air of planes, the trick isn't just plain water (which is a clearer that goes straight through), but what we call slow fluids or wet food (think congees, soups, stews) to ensure that constant, deep hydration. It also requires the mental discipline of non-busyness: cultivating stillness and focusing on your main job rather than jumping into "tourist mode." It's about being a "Fremen flyer" and absorbing the wisdom of a place by simply being still. If you're ready for a reminder to stay engaged with your deepest purpose and learn essential travel health principles, this episode is for you.   Takeaways: [00:00:28] Herbal Action is Taste-Governed: In Classical Chinese Medicine, herbs act mainly through taste and the stomach's "flavor sensing," not chemical constituents alone. [00:03:46] The Yin-Yang Puzzle in Business: Balancing Taoist tradition with Western chemical language creates "pearls of reciprocity"—unexpected philosophical rewards. [00:04:21] Living Your True Blueprint: Stay aligned with your personal purpose and express it in any role, even as a CEO. [00:10:30] Travel's Primary Rule: Hydration: Air travel severely depletes fluids due to dry cabin air, making deep, constant hydration essential. [00:11:02] Mindful Travel: Cultivate Stillness: Avoid over-scheduling; cultivate stillness, meditate, and stay focused on your core purpose while traveling. [00:12:04] Classical Medicine's 30-Year Plan: Three stages—10 years of practice, 10 years of writing, and 10 years of mentoring new teachers. [00:17:11] Water is a "Clearer," Not a "Hydrator": Plain water flushes waste quickly but does not provide deep, lasting hydration. [00:17:55] The Power of Wet Food (Slow Fluids): Soups, congees, and stews support deep hydration through slow digestive absorption.   Practical Engagement: Prioritize Slow Fluids: Especially before and during travel, replace plain water with "slow fluids" or wet foods like congees, porridges, soups, or stews to ensure deep, sustained hydration. Practice Mindful Travel: When you travel, limit your scheduled activities (e.g., "one museum" rule) to cultivate stillness, meditate, and focus on your core purpose rather than jumping into "tourist mode." Sip, Don't Gulp: If drinking plain water on a plane, keep it coming in small sips continuously throughout the flight, not in large, isolated glasses. Cover Your Skin: Treat flying like being a "Fremen flyer." Wear covering clothes to protect your skin and minimize moisture loss in the dry cabin air.   Resources Classical Medicine Academy: anncecilsterman.com Instagram: Follow @anncecilsterman on instagram for updates.

In this informative and grounded talk, clinical herbalist Liane Moccia shares some of her most trusted herbal strategies for building a strong fertility foundation.

This video is ideal for anyone: • Planning for pregnancy • Actively trying to conceive • Supporting fertility alongside IVF or other assisted methods • Interested in evidence-based, holistic fertility support Liane also speaks openly about her own fertility journey, her integrative approach to herbal medicine and Western care, and why foundational herbs are often overlooked in favor of trendier remedies.

In this episode, I break down why you can feel exhausted all day but suddenly wired the moment you try to sleep. We talk about how cortisol, melatonin, blood sugar, and perimenopause all play a role, and what you can actually do to get real rest. What we cover: 1. Cortisol and melatonin basics Your circadian rhythm depends on high cortisol in the morning and low cortisol at night. If cortisol spikes in the evening, you will feel "tired but wired." Taking melatonin will not help if melatonin is normal and cortisol is the real problem. 2. How DUTCH testing reveals the root cause A DUTCH hormone test shows: Your full cortisol pattern throughout the day Melatonin output Blood sugar, nutrient, and inflammation markers Estrogen and progesterone levels that may affect sleep This is why DUTCH is so helpful for women who have tried every sleep aid with no results. One client had perfect melatonin but high nighttime cortisol. Once we targeted that, her sleep finally improved. 3. Simple tools to try tonight Protein before bed: At least 20 grams to stabilize blood sugar and quiet cortisol. Nighttime routine: Lower lights, cooler bedroom, weighted blanket, deep breathing, red light, warm bath. Journaling: Empty your brain before bed so you are not carrying mental clutter into sleep. 4. Perimenopause and sleep changes Falling progesterone can make it harder to relax or stay asleep. Supporting progesterone naturally and adding magnesium or B vitamins at night can help. 5. Herbal and nutritional support Adrenal tincture to support cortisol regulation Sleep tincture to calm the nervous system Magnesium in the evening to relax muscles and reduce tension Consistency matters. Sleep often improves gradually over three or more weeks. Why a DUTCH test is your next step  If you are done guessing, DUTCH testing shows exactly: Whether cortisol, melatonin, blood sugar, or inflammation is keeping you awake What your hormones are doing at night Which specific areas to target This saves time, money, and frustration so you can finally sleep again. You can order a DUTCH test here and get a personalized review and plan: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/ Better sleep starts with understanding what your hormones are doing behind the scenes.

In this throwback episode, I'm revisiting one of my favorite herbal conversations with my friend and renowned herbalist Rosalee de la Forêt. This discussion truly changed the way I approach herbal medicine. Instead of treating herbs like Western medicine — one symptom, one herb — Rosalee helps us understand why herbalism is so much more personal and intuitive. Together, we walk through how to recognize your body's signals and determine whether what you're experiencing is hot, cold, damp, or dry. Understanding your own energetics is the key to choosing herbs that actually work for your body and supporting your immune system in a deeper, more effective way. If you've ever wanted to use herbs with confidence, especially during cold and flu season, this episode is the perfect place to begin. I've also created an Herbal Energetics Wheel to help you match the right herbs to your constitution.

Today I am back with one of my herbal teachers to talk about herbal and holistic approaches to managing Lyme disease. It is a topic that is becoming ever more relevant as the medical community has been coming to the realization that there is such a thing as chronic Lyme, where acute measures such as antibiotics fall short.
