Could optimizing your testosterone levels as a woman be the missing piece to improving your sleep, mood, and libido? In this episode, I'm joined by OB-GYN, integrative women's health expert, and author Dr. Suzanne Gilberg Lenz for a powerful conversation about botanicals, hormones, and the menopause symptoms women should stop ignoring. We talk about how herbs like ashwagandha, rhodiola, black cohosh, Siberian rhubarb, saffron, and passion flower may support sleep, mood, hot flashes, blood sugar, and nervous system regulation. Most importantly, we dig into why symptoms like severe hot flashes, night sweats, and sexual dysfunction are not just annoying midlife inconveniences, but important signals your body is asking you to address. What you'll learn: (00:00) Experiencing sexual or orgasmic dysfunction can act as a crucial early warning signal for underlying heart disease. (00:10) Hot flashes and night sweats originate in the brain and can serve as major red flags for cardiovascular disease and dementia. (01:44) Utilizing a clinically studied form of urolithin A helps renew mitochondrial health to improve muscle strength and function. (02:41) Constant hunger and cravings often stem from a gut issue where cells lack the short-chain fatty acids needed to regulate appetite. (06:04) Over thirty percent of conventional pharmaceuticals originate from the botanical world and traditional medicine. (12:07) Starting with adaptogens like ashwagandha or rhodiola provides a gentle, powerful entrance point for managing nervous system and sleep issues. (12:58) Siberian rhubarb acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator to target brain and bone health without activating proliferation in the uterus or breast. (16:25) Overcoming menopausal sleep issues requires evaluating lifestyle choices, blood sugar stability, and helpful botanicals like passion flower and saffron. Love the podcast?

In the 17th century, Descartes, Galileo, and Newton transformed a living world into mechanical clockwork. Descartes drew the fatal line between mind and matter, rendering everything beyond the thinking self inert and available for measurement. This lens birthed science and medicine, but cost us what Goethean scientist Craig Holdrege calls living thinking - thought that is responsive, relational, and shaped by what it encounters.Goethe knew perception isn't passive: to truly see a plant, you must let it work on you.

173: I've noticed so many dog parents getting overwhelmed trying to choose the “right” herbal product for their dogs…tinctures, glycerites, powders, chews… what's actually best? In this short episode, I break down the differences between some of the most common herbal formats, how they work in the body, and why delivery method matters just as much as the herb itself. I also share when I personally reach for powders versus glycerites versus chews, plus some practical examples using seasonal allergy support formulas. If you've ever wondered why one herbal product works differently than another, this episode is for you. Topics Discussed: → What herbal format works fastest? → Are herbal chews effective for dogs? → When should dogs use herbal powders? → What are glycerites used for? → Which herbs support seasonal allergies?

Enrollment for Herbal Dental Care closes tonight at midnight, so I wanted to record a quick episode sharing a few thoughts about why this course has me so excited. This isn't just a course about herbs for teeth or gums. It's about understanding oral health through the lens of tissue states, constitutional patterns, inflammation, digestion, stress, mineral balance, and how the mouth reflects the whole body. The course is taught by Kyle Denton, who spent 15 years in the dental field before becoming a clinical herbalist. The way he bridges those two worlds is unlike anything I've personally encountered in herbal education. The live classes are held Thursdays at 6pm Central on: May 28 June 4 June 11 June 18 June 25 Recordings will be available for anybody who can't attend live.

Send us Fan MailSpring is finally here in Northern Canada, so recording outside reminded me of something simple: nature restores when we stop forcing and begin listening. Midlife often asks the same of us.This episode is part teaching, part guided journey...created for the woman who has spent years caregiving, holding everything together, and placing herself last.Together we explore how inherited patterns, the mother wound, and nervous system conditioning can shape our relationship with nourishment, beauty, body image, receiving, depletion, and vitality. We reflect on why so many women normalize exhaustion and what becomes possible when we begin mothering ourselves differently.You'll be guided through a calming journey connecting with the land, your womb wisdom, and your own essence before opening to one simple question:What do you need, and what would it look like to honor that?We also touch on: • The transition from caregiving → matriarchal leadership • Midlife as recalibration rather than decline • Herbal allies and nourishment practices for women's wellness • Tea rituals as nervous system support • Reclaiming radiance through receivingThis episode is also an invitation into my upcoming Nourishing the Mother Within 90 Min Akashic Experience & Tea Ceremony, where we'll go deeper into inherited patterns, nourishment, receiving, and the emerging woman you're becoming in midlife.If your body has been asking for more softness, support, or truth — this is for you.Subscribe, share, and leave a review so more women can find this work.Grab your FREE e-book : Sacred Nourishment for Midlife Radiance: subscribepage.io/midliferadianceguideReach out to tara@tarapreston.com to learn more about ways to work with her through your life reinvention.

Herbs can be incredible allies for oral health, but knowing how and when to use them makes all the difference.Here, I share three of my favorite herbal recipes for supporting the mouth, gums, and oral tissues, along with practical tips for actually making them effective.► A powerful herbal mouthwash with echinacea, sage, and plantain► A sage and rose tooth powder for everyday oral care► A turmeric mouth pack for deeper long-term gum supportI also talk about one of the biggest mistakes people make with herbal oral care: not giving herbs enough time and consistency to truly work with the tissues.If you'd like all three recipes in one place, you can download the ebook here.

In times of rapid change, overstimulation, and emotional uncertainty, the nervous system often longs for rhythm, nourishment, and restoration. In this episode of The Herbal Almanac, Lisa Marie explores several herbal allies traditionally associated with resilience, emotional steadiness, and nervous system support, including milky oats, tulsi, and rose. find the blog post here: everythingisenergyapothecary.com/herbal-almanac/nervous-system-herbs join my email list: everythingisenergyapothecary.com/contact

What if the natural world holds ancient wisdom capable of supporting healing, balance, and personal transformation? In this fascinating and earthy episode, Karen Harrison explores The Herbal Alchemist's Handbook, diving into the traditions of herbalism, plant knowledge, and the symbolic art of alchemy. Drawing from herbal practices and historical traditions, Karen discusses how herbs have been used for centuries in wellness routines, spiritual rituals, and everyday living. She explores the connection between nature and well-being, and how working with plants can encourage mindfulness, self-care, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world. This episode invites listeners to explore the intersection of nature, history, and personal growth. What is herbal alchemy, and how does it differ from modern approaches to wellness? Why have herbs and plant traditions remained important across cultures for generations? And how can reconnecting with nature influence our physical and emotional well-being? Join us for a rich and insightful conversation that blends ancient wisdom with modern curiosity—where herbs become more than plants, and where nature itself becomes a source of inspiration and transformation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Chris Holland has spent over three decades helping people - young and old - find their way back to the natural world. In this warmly personal conversation, Robin and Chris reflect on the threads that have woven their lives together: a shared love of plants, the legacy of plant mentor Frank Cook, and the quiet revolution taking place in nature connection education.Chris is the author of I Love My World, widely regarded as the unofficial Forest School manual, and the founder of Natural Musicians. A practice that democratises music-making in wild places, inviting children and families to listen deeply and celebrate landscape through sound. His work sits at the intersection of nature pedagogy, John Young's Eight Shields framework, and a profound belief that connection to the other-than-human world is not a luxury, it is a necessity.They explore how children learn differently when handed a stick and a stone instead of a worksheet, why making music in a stone circle might change the listener more than the landscape, and what it means to truly stay — with a plant, with discomfort, with belonging.For educators, parents, and anyone who has ever felt the pull of a hedgerow, this episode is a quiet reminder that the wild is always closer than we think.This Episode Is Brought To You ByRobin HarfordTranscriptsThis episodeConnect with Chris HollandWebsite | Youtube | Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInBooksI Love My WorldPlant Of The WeekSharing Nature With ChildrenThe Heat Will Kill You FirstCoursesNatural MusiciansPeople, Places and Things Mentioned On The ShowBuzzard YurtKingfisher YurtCity of Bath Roman BathsFluxus Art MovementFrank CookNew Age FraudPam HortonPauline OliverosSandor KatzSchumacher CollegeTrill On The HillRelated Resources30 Days of DomeiDomei Newsletter

Jared starts this new series, Herbal Secrets, by diving into one of natural health's most overlooked tools: neem. Often known for its topical use, neem is far more than a simple antimicrobial—it's what Jared calls a “terrain shifter,” helping support balance in the skin and gut microbiome rather than simply eliminating microbes. You'll learn how neem may help maintain healthy microbial balance, support normal inflammatory responses, and assist the body's natural detoxification processes. Jared breaks down topical vs. internal uses, including applications for skin health, oral care, and gut support, along with practical strategies for combining neem with enzymes and probiotics. If you're dealing with persistent imbalances or looking to support whole-body resilience, this episode offers a fresh perspective on restoring balance from the inside out. Products:TheraNeem Cleansing BarTheraNeem CreamTheraNeem Leaf & Aloe GelTheraNeem OilNOW Tea Tree OilSolaray Neem Leaf CapsulesPure Essence CandexCellCore Biotoxin BinderSolaray Charcoal CapsulesFood Movement Black Earth Zeolite Humic Fulvic MineralsPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesAdditional Information:#616: Microbiome Balance from Mouth to Gut: Foundations of Clearing and Rebuilding with Biocidin – Part 1#617: Microbiome Balance from Mouth to Gut: Protocols for Clearing and Rebuilding with Biocidin – Part 2Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Robin Harford meets storyteller Clare Viner beneath a flowering hawthorn tree in Devon to explore the living tradition of oral storytelling.Clare shares how stories belong to everyone - not fixed texts handed down by celibate monks, but breathing, evolving things shaped by the teller's felt sense and relationship with land.They discuss how patriarchy silenced women's stories, how rivers and plants carry their own narratives, and why giving yourself permission to tell an imperfect story is a radical act.The episode closes with Clare's spellbinding retelling of Merlin and the Lady Nimue - a love story rooted in hawthorn, heart medicine, and the dreaming earth.About Clare VinerClare Viner has been a storyteller for 26 years.Her roots are personal. As a child, her grandfather wove fairy tales for her. That inheritance stuck, and eventually became a vocation.She has told to audiences of every age and disposition: toddlers, teenagers, the elderly, festival goers. Clare has performed in the children's tent at WOMAD for the last 15 years.

The perioperative environment is increasingly shaped by factors that extend beyond traditional pharmacology, requiring anesthesia providers to stay alert to emerging and often underrecognized influences on patient care. One such factor is the growing use of kratom, a plant-derived substance that patients frequently perceive as harmless due to its “natural” origins. However, as highlighted in today's show, this assumption can lead to critical gaps in disclosure, leaving clinicians unaware of a substance that may significantly alter anesthetic management and patient outcomes. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

What really goes into the herbal products we rely on every day? In this conversation, Sajah sits down with anthropologist, author, and founder of the Sustainable Herbs Initiative, Ann Armbrecht, to explore the hidden journey of herbs — from field to finished product — and the complex web of relationships, ethics, and decisions that shape their quality.  Sajah and Ann discuss the gap between traditional herbal values and modern industry realities, and what it means to practice integrity in herbal medicine today. This is an invitation to look more deeply — to "see double" — and to connect with the people, plants, and places behind the medicine. Here's what you'll learn in this interview: Why understanding the herbal supply chain matters for both quality and ethics The hidden realities of global sourcing, mechanization, and manufacturing What "seeing double" means—and how it changes your relationship to herbal medicine How working conditions and human care directly impact plant quality The role of certifications, transparency, and traceability (and their limitations) Why relationships—not just sourcing location—are the key to sustainability What the "laral value" of a plant is and how intention shows up in modern herbalism Practical ways to engage more consciously as an herbal consumer or practitioner ———————————— About Ann: Learn more about The Sustainable Herbs Initiative  Check out Ann Armbrecht's book, Following the Herbal Harvest: A Search for the Healing Promise of Plant Medicines at Chelsea Green Books (or find it wherever books are sold). ———————————— 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/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

And so, March slides easily away between the trees, whispering of storm clouds, sudden frost, and sunshine on new bloomed wild plums.She leaves stars of chickweed in the grass and dandelions lifting bright and eager faces to the sky.She holds the door for April, who is nudging her way in, skirts wide and capable, dotted with dogwood blossoms and redbud flowers.There are lilacs in her hair and violets on her shoes and lilies in her hands.We rise to greet her, hands outstretched in welcome, turning briefly to wave to March as she backs away,having done what she could with what she had to bless the land, to remind us of the bond between body and soil,between root and bone, between bloom and blood.Thank you,we wave,blowing a kiss as April sweeps across the threshold and catches us up in her danceof emerging.Welcome to this week's Rituals of Returning newsletter!

This one is about a boy who lives in a tower in a world of darkness except for the light that comes from “Sunstones” that they have to charge with light beyond the “veil” that surrounded their world. He falls off the tower into another land of ice and snow and has to try to get back to the tower. So far, it is pretty interesting, though my daughter doesn't really like it.(listening to with Tanner): Hatchet—the survival classic for pre-teen boys, we've already listened to this one before and Tanner has read it to himself (and I've also read it to myself as a kid). About a boy who gets in a plane crash on his way to Alaska and has to survive with only a hatchet to keep him company.(listen to self): Warrior Girl Unearthed—I've just barely begun this one, it is the second book following Firekeeper's Daughter and is about the twin nieces of the main character in the first book. It might a little much for me right on the heels of the other one, so I might take a break from listening to it.Thinking about:Doing more local events—I'm reading at PoetSpeak in town again next weekend and was invited to come to a local authors event at the library in a neighboring county for this month as well.

GLP-1 Agonists, MCAS, Lyme Disease, and the Future of Precision Medicine In this powerful Tick Boot Camp Podcast interview, Matt Sabatello sits down with Dr. Tania Dempsey, MD, a board-certified internal medicine physician and internationally recognized expert in Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, and complex chronic illness. In this comprehensive conversation, Dr. Dempsey delivers one of the most forward-thinking and in-depth discussions ever featured on the podcast — connecting the dots between persistent symptoms after Lyme, immune dysregulation, biofilms, nervous system dysfunction, and groundbreaking research on GLP-1 receptor agonists as mast-cell stabilizers. This episode offers science, clinical insight, and — most importantly — hope for patients who have tried everything and are still struggling. Lyme Disease, MCAS, and Why Patients Stay Sick Why Treating Lyme Alone Is Often Not Enough Dr. Dempsey explains why many patients continue to experience inflammation, pain, neurological symptoms, and relapses even after treating Lyme disease and co-infections. According to her clinical experience, this is most often due to primary Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, not persistent infection alone. Key insight: > Lyme disease frequently acts as the trigger, but MCAS is often the driver of ongoing symptoms. Dr. Dempsey clarifies the critical difference between: Primary MCAS (pre-existing immune dysfunction worsened by infections) Secondary MCAS (rare; resolves completely once infection is treated) She notes that in decades of clinical practice, she has never seen true secondary MCAS fully resolve without ongoing mast-cell management. SOT Therapy: When, Why, and How It Works Best Dr. Dempsey provides a nuanced and experience-based explanation of Supportive Oligonucleotide Technique (SOT) for Lyme and co-infections. She addresses common criticism: One-time SOT treatments are rarely sufficient Chronic Lyme often involves multiple strains of Borrelia , Babesia , and Bartonella Her most successful cases involve: Repeated testing Sequential SOT treatments targeting specific strains Immune system support between rounds Adjunctive therapies such as herbs, antiparasitics, and mast-cell stabilization She shares a remarkable case of a young woman with severe neuropsychiatric symptoms who — after years of persistent SOT treatment combined with MCAS management — is now thriving, off psychiatric medications, and successfully completing college. Biofilms: Why They Matter in Chronic Infection Dr. Dempsey firmly states that biofilms are a critical barrier to recovery in chronically ill patients. Key points: Biofilms exist in the gut, sinuses, blood, and tissues They protect microbes from antibiotics, herbs, and immune attack Resistant biofilms may involve extracellular DNA (Z-DNA), discussed at ILADS Therapies discussed: Enzymes such as lumbrokinase and nattokinase Ozone therapy Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) for severe cases Her message is clear: if you cannot reach microbial reservoirs hidden in biofilms, infections cannot be fully controlled. GLP-1 Agonists, Immune Modulation, and Breakthrough MCAS Research GLP-1 Receptor Agonists as Mast-Cell Stabilizers Dr. Dempsey presents groundbreaking findings from her published case series: “The Utility of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Mast Cell Activation Syndrome” Key details: 47-patient case series Micro-dosing of GLP-1 agonists Primary medications used: tirzepatide (Mounjaro / Zepbound) and semaglutide (Ozempic / Wegovy) Unlike weight-loss protocols, Dr. Dempsey uses very low doses to target immune modulation — not appetite suppression. What GLP-1 Therapy Improved in MCAS & Lyme Patients Reported improvements included: Cognitive clarity and brain fog Chronic pain Neuropsychiatric symptoms Anxiety and depression Gastrointestinal symptoms Systemic inflammation Hormonal dysregulation In some cases, patients experienced improvement within one or two doses. Dr. Dempsey explains that mast cells express GLP-1 receptors, and activation sends a signal of safety, reducing inflammatory mediator release. Unexpected Findings: Muscle Mass and Antibody Reduction Contrary to common concerns, Dr. Dempsey observed: Preserved or increased muscle mass in the majority of patients Improved mitochondrial function and exercise tolerance Reduction in chronic antibody production (including Lyme Western Blot bands) She shares a striking case where a patient with long-standing positive Lyme antibodies saw antibody levels decline for the first time in over a decade after GLP-1 therapy — despite infection already being treated. This supports her hypothesis: > MCAS can drive persistent immune activation even when infection is no longer present. Side Effects, Screening & Who Should Not Use GLP-1s Potential side effects (usually mild): Nausea Delayed gastric emptying Occasional vomiting in sensitive patients Important clinical notes: Some patients respond better to semaglutide vs tirzepatide A small subset may require dose cycling or pulsing Antibody formation against GLP-1 drugs is a potential research focus Non-Pharmaceutical Alternatives to Increase GLP-1 Activity For patients who cannot tolerate medications, Dr. Dempsey outlines alternatives. Herbal & Supplement Options OptimumGLP Synergy (herbal blend designed to support GLP-1 signaling) Calocurb (GLP-1 supportive compound) These options may: Reduce inflammation Help stabilize appetite and blood sugar Calm mast-cell activity Diet-Based Strategies Dr. Dempsey explains why higher-protein and carnivore-leaning diets may benefit MCAS and Lyme patients: Protein and fat stimulate endogenous GLP-1 Reduced food triggers Improved metabolic stability Patients do not need to eat exclusively meat — but increasing high-quality protein intake is often beneficial. Nervous System, Trauma & Mast Cell Feedback Loops The episode explores how: Mast cells and nerves exist in a bidirectional feedback loop Chronic fight-or-flight worsens immune activation Therapies discussed: Limbic retraining programs ( Primal Trust , Gupta Program) Vagal nerve stimulation Apollo Neuro wearable Ketamine-assisted therapy Psychedelic microdosing (emerging area) Breaking the mast-cell / nervous-system loop is often essential for healing. Women's Health, PCOS & Autoimmune Illness Dr. Dempsey shares a critical insight: > In her practice, every PCOS patient also has MCAS.

A strange brew that's hard to resist, even for a modern day microbe. In the war on devilish microbes, our weapons are starting to fail us. The antibiotics we once wielded like miraculous flaming swords seem more like lukewarm butter knives. But in this episode, originally released in 2015, we follow an odd couple, of a sort, to a storied land of elves and dragons. There, they uncover a 1,000-year-old secret that makes us reconsider our most basic assumptions about human progress and wonder: what if the only way forward is backward? Special thanks to Steve Diggle, Professor Roberta Frank, Alexandra Reider and Justin Park (our Old English readers), Gene Murrow from Gotham Early Music Scene, Marcia Young for her performance on the medieval harp and Collin Monro of Tadcaster and the rest of the Barony of Iron Bog. Can't get enough of that sweet, sweet antibiotic resistance content? Then you'll be over the moon about next week's release. It's the podcast cut of our most recent installment of our live show series called Viscera. This one features executive editor Soren Wheeler and Avir Mitra, and it's all about how our millenia's-long war against bacteria came to a tipping point in this modern age.

In this episode of The Herbalist Hour, I sit down with herbalist, teacher, and long-time community mentor Betzy Bancroft to explore the heart, craft, and deep science behind her new book Herbal Pharmacy: The Science and Magic of Preparing and Administering Plant Medicine. Betzy has been teaching herbal medicine making for more than three decades. She co-founded the Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism, mentors clinical interns, presents at the Vermont NOFA Winter Conference, and serves on the advisory board of United Plant Savers. She also teaches and leads plant walks at the legendary Sage Mountain Botanical Sanctuary, where she lives just down the road. This conversation dives into the practical, the philosophical, and the magical sides of making plant medicine — from water and oils, to home apothecaries, to the evolving spiral of students becoming teachers.
