In this episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, host Dana Kay—Board-Certified Health and Nutrition Practitioner and founder of the ADHD Thrive Institute—dives deep into one of the most misunderstood underlying stressors of ADHD symptoms: gut health. While ADHD is often labeled as a brain-based disorder, this episode reveals how gut imbalances, inflammation, and neurotransmitter disruptions could be fueling your child's symptoms—like mood swings, focus struggles, and emotional dysregulation. Dana shares the latest science on the gut-brain connection and breaks down practical, evidence-based strategies that families can start using right away—from healing leaky gut to choosing the right supplements. Whether your child is currently on medication, recently diagnosed, or you're just searching for real solutions, this episode offers a powerful new lens on how to support your child naturally, from the inside out.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Ramona Wallace.

For many, integrative medicine has become an unattainable luxury, and healthy diet and lifestyle the prerogative of the privileged. Today's guest, Dr. Ramona Wallace, is attempting to change that. Trained conventionally as a DO, she undertook additional training and certification via the Institute for Functional Medicine to broaden her clinical skills. She practices primary care in an underserved community in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where she incorporates diet and lifestyle recommendations to address her patients' chronic conditions. Careful nutritional assessment has revealed that many of her patients, while overtly overweight, are decidedly malnourished. She has documented a wide range of deficiencies—of B vitamins, vitamins A, C, and D, critical minerals like zinc and magnesium, even full-blown scurvy. These are precisely the patients who are most likely to benefit from nutritional support. Discovering obstacles to compliance is a key element to effect their health transformations. Dr. Wallace believes that individualized care is the key to reversing long-standing health conditions. She mentors medical students in the first-of-its-kind Functional Medicine program at a medical school. She has also co-authored a landmark paper arguing for wellness self-care by doctors, to stave off burnout and to help them be better role models for patients.

In this episode, I sit down with herbalist and wellness guide Rachelle Robinett. RH(AHG). to talk about her inspiring journey from the fashion industry to the world of herbalism and plant-based healing. We explore what it means to reclaim the divine feminine through rituals, emotional healing, and connection to plant consciousness.We dive into how nature shapes identity, why rituals should be non-negotiable in our self-care routines, and how plants act as emotional and spiritual allies—especially in urban environments like New York City.

Send us a textIn this special revisit episode of Fabulously Delicious: The French Food Podcast, we return to one of our most loved series — the A to Z of French Herbs — to rediscover a plant that's as intriguing as it is bold: Absinthe, also known as wormwood. Far more than just the legendary green spirit, this herb has a rich history in French cuisine, medicine, and folklore. From ancient Greece to the cafés of Paris, absinthe has left its unmistakable mark on culture and gastronomy.We'll explore wormwood's origins, from its growth in North Africa and Eurasia to its medicinal use dating back to 1552 B.C. Discover how it found its way into drinks like vermouth and bitters, spiced mead in the Middle Ages, and even became a natural pesticide in organic gardens. Along the way, we'll uncover its myths, its medicinal risks, and its reputation as both a healing tonic and a dangerous indulgence.Absinthe's influence in French cuisine is equally fascinating. You'll hear how chefs have used it to season meats, fish, oysters, and escargot, as well as in a striking 1889 creation — Absinthe Sorbet — served to celebrate the unveiling of the Eiffel Tower. We'll also discuss its place in art and literature, from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to its infamous association with bohemian Paris.So pour yourself a glass of wine, slice some baguette, and join me for this deep dive into the bitter, aromatic world of absinthe. Whether you're a longtime listener or discovering the A to Z of French Herbs for the first time, this episode is a journey into the flavours, stories, and culinary magic that make French food so endlessly captivating.Looking to deepen your culinary journey beyond the podcast?

Devine to unravel the intimate ties between trauma, the nervous system, and herbal medicine.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Bill Rawls to explore how stealth microbes reactivate under stress and quietly drive autoimmune issues, Lyme, and even long COVID. You'll learn why addressing inflammation alone won't lead to lasting healing.   Discover how your lifestyle, diet, and sleep patterns may be silently weakening your immune defenses, allowing dormant infections to take over. Dr. Rawls breaks down the real root causes of chronic conditions and what needs to happen at the cellular level to reverse them.   You'll also hear how herbs—often dismissed as “weak” remedies—actually provide powerful antimicrobial and immune-modulating support. Learn which specific herbal compounds can strengthen your cells, reduce microbial load, and help your body restore balance naturally.

On the top-selling herbs list for 2023 (the most recent data), the herbs in places #19-21 were Tribulus terrestris, Pycnogenol (an extract of Pinus pinaster), and garlic. Today we continue our series on commercially popular herbs, and share our views as herbalists on the actions, benefits, and applications of these ones.The pine extract is an interesting item, given that it's not an entry for the herb itself but rather for a specific proprietary extract from one species. It's true that this extract has been well-studied and shown to exert good effects, but it's also true that pine is much more than this one product.Today's trio also offers an excellent opportunity to apply herbal energetics to help us critique and navigate marketing hype. While tribulus is very popular as a body-building aid, its cooling nature tells us that it is most helpful for those who already run hot. Garlic is the polar opposite of that. While garlic is very famous for its capacity to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, these effects are not as straightforward in a hot, dry, tense body – garlic could cause adverse effects for such a constitution. So, looking through the lens of herbal energetics remains one of our best methods for matching the right herb to the right person.19.

Once beloved in root beer and medicine cabinets, sassafras was later banned as dangerous. So...is it poison or a powerful plant ally?In this episode, we're diving into the wild and winding story of Sassafras albidum—a tree deeply rooted in Southern culture, traditional herbalism, and kitchen magic. From thickening gumbo to flavoring root beer (before it was pulled from shelves in the 1970s), sassafras has played many roles—and stirred up plenty of controversy.Herbalist Matthew Hunter joins me today to shine a light on this misunderstood tree. He shares his favorite ways to work with sassafras, including his recipe for homemade sassafras root beer (yes, it's safe—and yes, it's delicious!). You can download a beautifully-illustrated recipe card here.Matthew also brings a refreshingly unique perspective. Unlike many herbalists who've loved plants since childhood, he started his herbal journey with zero interest in the plant world. He just wanted to “get it over with”—but somewhere along the way, the plants worked their magic. Now he's a devoted advocate for his local flora and an inspiring teacher in his own right.If you've ever wondered about sassafras's past, its potential, or how to use it today, this episode is for you.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► How to identify sassafras trees, both by sight and by smell► The history of sassafras use in the United States (and a surprising reason why it went out of fashion!)► Nine medicinal and culinary gifts of sassafras► Why a cup of hot sassafras tea is so great on a hot summer day► Tips for propagating sassafras trees – and why harvesting them can actually help more trees grow!► and so much more…For those of you who don't know him, Matthew Hunter is the founder of Legacy Wilderness Academy, a school dedicated to teaching Southerners how to harvest clean food and natural medicine from local wild plants. Matthew has been foraging for over ten years and is the creator of several online foraging courses, including Medicinal Plants of the Southeast and The Southerner's Guide to Foraging. He's currently on a mission to film every major edible and medicinal plant in the Southeastern US. Matthew leads foraging walks in his local area in northeast Louisiana where he lives with his wife, daughter and son.

Rachelle Robinett, founder of Pharmakon Supernatural and educator in holistic health, offers a clear, science-aware framework for supporting energy, focus, and stress regulation, without defaulting to pharmaceuticals or overstimulation. In this episode, she explores how plant-based medicine, nutrition, and daily practices can be woven into practical, long-term routines that support resilience and cognitive clarity.   Robinett challenges the assumption that performance must rely on synthetic energy or end in burnout. Drawing from her work at the intersection of herbalism and evidence-based wellness, she shares actionable strategies for optimizing physiological readiness through balance, not intensity.   “I'm really interested in how we can live well without needing to biohack or rely on pharmaceuticals or stimulants or even supplementation all the time.”   Key insights from the conversation include: Stimulants Borrow, Not Create Energy Robinett explains that caffeine and similar compounds don't give us energy; they “just turn off the signals of fatigue.” Instead, she emphasizes rhythm management, aligning with circadian patterns and energy cycles: “You don't have to be on all the time. And if we try to be, the crash will always come.”   Herbs Should Be Matched to Mechanism, Not Trend She encourages listeners to move beyond marketing labels like “adaptogen,” noting that compounds like rhodiola (stimulating) and reishi (sedating) serve very different roles.  “Match your plants to your goals... It's kind of like caffeine; if you don't need it, don't take it.”   Sugar Is Energizing, But Often Disruptive Robinett discusses how sugar can be paired with fiber, fat, or protein to reduce its volatility: “Sugar is biologically energizing… but we tend to use it in ways that give us a spike and then a crash.”   Daily Practices Outperform Sporadic Interventions Light exposure, meal timing, and breathwork help regulate the autonomic nervous system more effectively than isolated hacks: “What we do daily matters more than what we do occasionally… so many people don't understand how profoundly their breathing patterns are affecting their state.”   Recovery Is an Active Recalibration Robinett distinguishes between activities that feel restful and those that actually reset the stress response system: “Sometimes the things we think are relaxing are not—Netflix, alcohol, even yoga. True recovery is shifting the nervous system.”   This conversation reframes wellness not as indulgence or optimization, but as physiological literacy—a disciplined, systems-level approach to mental clarity and endurance. For professionals seeking alternatives to overstimulation, Robinett offers a sustainable path toward long-term resilience and regulated energy.   Get Rachelle's book here: https://shorturl.at/q7TDb Naturally: The Herbalist's Guide to Health and Transformation   Here are some free gifts for you: Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

Mutual aid projects are a natural place for herbalists to gravitate, and setting one up in your community is easier than you think! Our mutual aid startup guide is a free resource we offer you to help with this. You can download it right here:Mutual Aid Startup GuideIn today's episode we want to emphasize two key things about this: First, it doesn't have to be an enormous undertaking. You can start with a small circle of friends, and build from there. The keys are consistency and continuity of communication.Second, getting started can be very simple! So often, people feel hesitant to begin – thinking they need a fully fleshed-out concept and perhaps some financial backing before they start. But mutual aid can be something that fits into your schedule and that lifts you up instead of burning you out.We discuss three examples to show what mutual aid can look like at different scales: a small personal support network, a medium community fix-it club, and a larger community disaster response team.We hope this episode inspires you to get started, and if you have any questions, reach out to us!Everything's on sale in July!All our offerings are self-paced online video courses.

I am so excited to share this conversation with Dana Hutchinson! I really identified with her herbal path – like me, as a young person she suffered from a debilitating autoimmune condition, and it was through her search for healing that she found herbalism. As a clinical herbalist herself now, she offers so much hope for others in similar situations. Dana had so much to share about one of the first herbs that she worked with to help her overcome her illness, jujube dates (Ziziphus jujuba). This delicious, nourishing herb has so many gifts! Here are just a few ways jujube dates can benefit your health:► As a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants► Nourishes the blood, promotes healthy circulation, and supports the liver► As a gentle ally for dealing with emotional trauma and a dysregulated nervous systemTo learn more about jujube's medicinal benefits, be sure to check out the entire episode!You'll also hear all about how Dana works with jujube to support clients with the autoimmune condition lichen sclerosus (the same illness that started her on her herbal path), including her fantastic recipe for Lichen Sclerosus Decoction. You'll find a beautifully-illustrated recipe card for it here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► What makes jujube such a helpful herbal ally for a wide variety of health conditions—including poor circulation, autoimmunity, and nervous system burnout► Tips for sourcing jujube dates► How to prepare jujubes to maximize their medicinal benefits► Why jujube dates are often beneficial to include in immune formulations► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Dana is a registered herbalist and mentor with the American Herbalist Guild and is the owner of Wildflower Clinic, a Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western clinical herbalism health center in Golden, Colorado.

Can a single cup of tea shift your entire day? In one of her favorite episodes ever, Ginny sits down with herbalist and author Rachelle Robinett to explore the ancient, globally practiced art of herbalism—and why it might be exactly what our stressed-out, fast-paced culture needs.

From nervines and adaptogens to bitters and mushrooms, you'll learn how plants can support sleep, digestion, resilience, clarity, emotional balance, and so much more.

I've been looking forward to this interview with Lorna Trigg for a while now! Lorna's herbal path was strongly influenced by the practices of the indigenous people who lived near her childhood family farm in South Africa, and she has such a creative and unique perspective that I just had to learn more from her.Lorna shared about a plant that she has known since childhood, the beautiful passionflower (both the Passiflora edulis she grew up with in South Africa, and the Passiflora incarnata that called to her as an adult here in the United States). She shared her insights on what passionflower is perhaps best well-known for—its benefits for sleeplessness, which I took advantage of the very night after the interview!—as well as many other gifts of this gorgeous plant.Not only does passionflower make great medicine, it has delicious fruit, too! I can't wait to try them in Lorna's recipe for Soothing Passion Flower Custard Cups. You can download your beautifully-illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► How the growth patterns of passionflower echo its medicinal benefits► What makes passionflower such a wonderful herbal ally during menstruation► How to work with passionflower to calm a busy mind and get better sleep► The fascinating relationship between ants and passionflower► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Lorna's formative years were steeped in her grandmother Verster's and her mother Willie's teachings and guidance as a way of life, looking at the natural world of plant allies as the norm for food and healing. Lorna grew up in the tropical rainforest terrain of South Africa's southern tip, and spent summers inland on the savannas of the family farm. She watched and learned from the children of the tribal people how and what plants to use for food or medicine while out in the fields with the sheep and cattle. The tribal Sangomas, which are the shamans and medicine men and women, held a fascination for her. She peeked into their huts and saw bundles of dried herbs, seeds, furs and horns used for divination and healing. And so it began, imprinted from an early age, her curiosity sparked.I'm thrilled to share our conversation with you today!----Get full show notes and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comFor more behind-the-scenes of this podcast, follow @rosaleedelaforet on Instagram!Working successfully with herbs requires three essential skills.

Our semi-annual 20% off Sale is active now!For the entire month of July,use code hawthorn at checkoutto take 20% off all our online courses!Sussing out herb-drug interactions is complicated! In this episode we take the example of Celexa + skullcap, and demonstrate the process of investigation we'd use to sort out whether a proposed risk is real.We start with the Botanical Safety Handbook, because it has certain features which make it significantly better than other manuals or databases. These include the varied relevant experience and skills of the editorial team, its clarity about real vs theorized reactions, and other critical data points which are directly relevant to the herbalist's practice.Checking one resource isn't sufficient, though. We also need to consider the fact that ‘absence of evidence is not evidence of absence', and remember that constitutional variations can significantly change the efficacy of a given herb for a particular person. Information outside of scientific studies – such as the popularity of an herb or the prevalence of a drug, as well as traditional practices with plants – can help us to orient ourselves more precisely.For further education about herb-drug interactions:Herb-Drug Interactions & Herb Safety – our complete course on this subject teaches you all the ins & outs of identifying potential interactions, avoiding them, and conducting reality checks on information you encounter about these risks.The Botanical Safety Handbook – our #1 resource for this information.HHP 101: How Herbs Are Different From Drugs – a key episode of our podcast, these concepts are helpful when learning how HDI may occur.Everything's on sale in July!All our offerings are self-paced online video courses.
