On this episode, Jared sits down with Amber Lynn Vitale, certified nutritionist, Ayurvedic clinical consultant, and national educator for Sabinsa Wellness, to explore the fascinating world of Ayurvedic medicine and what it can teach us about personalized health. They discuss the importance of ingredient sourcing, raw material testing, and how to know you're getting a quality product when choosing supplements. Amber shares how ancient Ayurvedic principles focus on understanding the individual rather than treating everyone the same, and how modern research is beginning to validate many of these time-tested concepts. The conversation also dives into the rigorous standards Sabinsa uses to ensure purity, potency, and consistency in herbal ingredients. If you've ever wondered how to evaluate supplement quality or wanted a practical introduction to Ayurveda, this episode is a great place to start. Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Today we're sharing some thoughts about uncertainty versus imposter syndrome, and learning herbalism. Recently, we did a 20 Questions video for the folks at HerbRally – it ran nearly four hours long!  Two of the questions we were asked wove a theme together, and we wanted to share them here.The first question was “how do you deal with uncertainty as an herbalist?” The person asking this may have been expecting some kind of study trick that would help them to feel confident enough in their skills that they didn't feel uncertainty in their practice – like an antidote to imposter syndrome!But we have this sign in our apothecary that says “there's only the hard way” (and if you know, you know!) and that applies here: the way of herbalism is uncertain. Accepting the presence of uncertainty is the first step toward navigating it confidently.Now, we're not talking about under-training: the first thing to do is to get trained, of course. But once you have trained for years and years, and even once you've been in practice for years, you are still on a journey with uncertainty. Which sounds a little zen, perhaps – and actually, a little bit, it is! Training the mind to accept uncertainty, while still finding the truth of the moment, is as important a skill for an herbalist as it is for a monk.Next, someone asked us about mistakes new herbalists make, and how long it takes to “feel like you know what you're doing.” (Do you see a theme here?) They want to know if it's going to take years to feel confident, or if there's some way to accelerate the development of that confidence. Yes.These questions come up for lots of herbalists. Especially because a lot of us are practicing alone in our communities. Sure, there are herbal friends online, but maybe you're the only herbalist in your town, and you're feeling the weight of that solitude. A lot of folks don't have elders or mentors available, and that makes it harder to practice.One solution to that problem is online clinical herbalism mentorship – and we've got that for you!Did you know that you can book a one-on-one Zoom session with Katja to talk through your goals, your challenges, and how to get you where you want to be in your herbal practice? You can! It's open to anyone, and the easiest way to book one is to go to enroll in any free course – they're at the top of the list. (They're truly free: you don't even need a credit card.) That will set up a student dashboard for you, and right there on the menu on the left you'll see, about halfway down, Quick Help Sessions – click that link and it'll take you right to the scheduling calendar!If this episode caught your attention, then our Clinical Skills course is for you!

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine offer a different way to understand the body, especially when it comes to chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, stress, digestion, anxiety, inflammation, nervous system dysregulation, and unexplained symptoms.In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with  Dr. Jordan Barber, clinician, educator, published researcher, licensed acupuncturist, and author of Thinking in Chinese Medicine: A Patient's Guide to Acupuncture, Herbs, and Healing, for a grounded conversation about what Chinese medicine actually is, why it has been misunderstood in the West, and how it can help us see chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, stress, symptoms, and whole-body health through a more connected lens.Together, they explore why Chinese medicine is not just acupuncture, herbs, or “energy work,” but a way of thinking. Dr. Barber explains how Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the whole person, including sleep, digestion, emotions, stress, relationships, movement, pain patterns, and the way someone experiences life. He also breaks down how the word qi became simplified into “energy,” why that translation can be misleading, and why Chinese medicine is often more practical, physiological, and science-informed than many people realize.Dr. Barber shares his own path into Chinese medicine after working in IT, living through 9/11 in New York City, and experiencing chronic health issues that conventional care did not resolve. After trying acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and dietary changes, he saw a major improvement in his recurring sinus issues and began to understand health through a completely different framework.If you're listening to this and thinking, “My symptoms feel connected, but no one is helping me connect the dots,” join the Circle here:

Wildcrafting has gotten trendy, and that's not always a good thing. Misidentified plants, sketchy sourcing claims, and a whole lot of misinformation are floating around social media right now, and it's worth slowing down to talk about why that matters.Howie Brounstein, founder of Columbine School of Botanical Studies and an herbalist who has been teaching for over 40 years, talks about why botany matters, what real wildcrafting ethics actually look like, and why he's scared by a lot of what he sees online.What's in this episode:The real risks of misidentification and why positive plant ID is non-negotiableWhy botany matters, and when it doesn't need to be your focus as an herbalistHow to evaluate herb books and spot information that isn't coming from real experienceWhy Howie teaches a long-term apprenticeship instead of one-day wildcrafting classesWhy Howie believes you should taste every herb you give to someone elseWhat it was like building an herbal career in the late 1970s when nobody believed it was possibleHow AI and social media are accelerating herbal misinformationFor full show notes, resources, and links visit: theherbalistspath.com/blog/herbal-wildcrafting-ethics-howie-BrounsteinLearn more about Howie's apprenticeship and classes at botanicalstudies.netLike the show?

What happens when we stop looking at Japanese knotweed as a problem to solve and start looking at it as a teacher?Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) is often used as a go-to herb for Lyme disease, but in this fascinating conversation, herbalist Emily French invites us to see this remarkable plant through a much wider lens. From chronic inflammation and joint pain to menstrual stagnation, skin care, and beyond, Emily shares why knotweed has become one of her most trusted herbal allies—and why reducing it to a single use misses the bigger picture entirely.Along the way, we explore knotweed's role as a blood-moving herb, its powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and the surprising ways it supports both ecological and personal healing. Emily also offers thoughtful reflections on knotweed's controversial reputation, revealing how this much-maligned plant may have more to teach us about cooperation, resilience, and reciprocity than many of us realize.Japanese knotweed also makes a delicious wild food! Emily has shared her recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Knotweed Galette, a rustic dessert that transforms young knotweed shoots into a memorable seasonal treat. You can download your copy here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Over fifteen medicinal benefits of knotweed (far beyond just being a “Lyme herb”!)► Three tips for harvesting knotweed roots► The fascinating ways that knotweed helps prevent Lyme-causing bacteria from taking hold► When to use the roots of knotweed—and when the leaves and stems are best► What makes this plant such an amazing ally for burns, bruises, and sprains► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Emily French is a clinical and traditional herbalist who works 1:1 with clients and also teaches about herbalism online and in her 3 year herbal apprenticeship. Her work revolves around her love for reconnecting people with the sophisticated art and science of plant-based healing that we've all known, somewhere in our bones, for thousands of years. She is a passionate and intuitive herbalist, educator, wildcrafter, farmer, medicine maker, and mama. With over 20 years of clinical experience, Emily has a broad understanding of both acute and chronic health issues, and of working with the healing plants to help people move toward balance and vitality.Emily's passion for Japanese knotweed is contagious!

What if the best medicine for your body has nothing to do with treating your disease and everything to do with treating you? That's the question at the heart of this conversation, and I am so honored to bring you one of the most respected voices in herbal medicine today, David Winston. In this episode of the Wild Herbs Podcast, I talk with herbalist and ethnobotanist David Winston about how plant energetics and human energetics help match herbs to a person's constitution so we treat people rather than diseases. David reflects on herbal medicine's resurgence since the late 1960s, shares how his early connection with plants began in childhood, and explains why herbalism and orthodox medicine are complementary. We discuss the difference between treating a disease and treating a person, nootropic herbs, compliance and dosing forms, the concept of synergy in herbal formulas, nature's role in mental health, foundations of health, and mimosa (Albizia) bark as a powerful mood elevator. David also describes his two-year clinical training program and formula-building approach.

Accessibility in herbalism is not something extra or something nice-if-possible, it's a critical part of our work. The prices of the remedies we recommend can sometimes be a determining factor in whether our clients take them, or take them long enough to get results. In many cases we can identify less expensive herbs, or formulae of herbs, which can do the job of more costly ones. In order to make an effective substitution, we first need to clarify the qualities, actions, affinities, and other aspects of the herb for which we seek alternatives. Only then can we identify a good substitute.This episode includes thoughts and examples of potential substitutes for solomon's seal (Polygonatum biflorum), kava (Piper methysticum), Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng), dong quai (Angelica sinensis), teasel (Dipsacus fullonum), arnica (Arnica montana), chaga (Inonotus obliquus), goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), and schisandra (Schisandra chinensis).This is material we dig into deeply in our Accessible Herbalism course. That course is full of strategies and skills which enable herbalists to offer top-quality care to people who have constraints on their finances, time, energy, or community of support. It helps you understand the truth behind some of hte most common money-saving suggestions about herbalism and nutrition, so you can offer realistic suggestions which actually help people who need it most.Like everything we offer, it's a self-paced online video course. It comes with lifetime access to current & future course material, the twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you enjoyed the episode, it helps us a lot if you subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Could the tree outside your window become one of your greatest herbal teachers?Living at the edge of the boreal forest, Erica Macrum is surrounded by balsam fir (Abies balsamea), and over the years this fragrant conifer has become one of her closest plant allies. But rather than relying on books, Erica has learned much of what she knows about balsam fir through observation, experimentation, and simply spending time with the tree itself.In this episode, Erica shares her favorite ways to work with balsam fir's resin, needles, and bark, as well as the unexpected lessons she's gathered from years of companionship with this remarkable tree. Together, we explore its gifts for healing, the role of curiosity in herbal practice, and the wisdom that can emerge when we spend time getting to know the plants growing around us.Erica also shared her recipe for Spring Forest Herbal Salt, a delicious way to add a taste of the forest to your own kitchen. Be sure to download your copy here!By the end of this episode, you'll know:► How balsam fir resin naturally protects the tree—and how you can harness that healing power► The surprising differences between working with the resin, bark, and needles► How Erica uses balsam fir to support respiratory health► Why "playing" with a plant can be an important part of herbal learning► What plants can teach us about compassion, patience, and meeting people where they are► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Erica Macrum is the owner of Sweet Fern Apothecary and has a deep passion for the healing arts. The ancient wisdom of Earth-based energetic modalities keeps Erica engaged and continuously learning. As a clinical herbalist, she loves sharing about the healing properties and energetics of plant medicine and strongly encourages the people around her to hold healing in their hands.Erica has been studying and practicing Chinese medicine for over 20 years. She is a graduate of the East West School of Planetary Herbology, where she helped facilitate and teach the case studies class with her mentor Susan Kremer. When she is not working with herbs, you will find Erica in the garden, walking in the woods, or spending time with her family.Whether balsam fir grows outside your door or hundreds of miles away, I hope this conversation inspires you to spend a little more time with the plants around you—and who knows, you just might find yourself looking at those familiar plants in a whole new way!----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

Sajah Popham from The School of Evolutionary Herbalism explains why herbal remedies sometimes fail. The issue is rarely the herbs themselves. Instead, it's the intake process that misses critical details about the person and their tissue state. Through the lens of vitalist herbalism, Sajah breaks down what you need to do to refocus your intake sessions, so you can nail the remedy for your client every time.   Here's what you'll learn: Why choosing the wrong herb can worsen symptoms Why "good for" herbal thinking often leads to poor remedy selection How temperature, moisture, and tone influence pathology The five key observations used to assess tissue states How to use the OPQRST intake method in clinical herbalism Why symptom quality matters more than disease labels How aggravation and palliation reveal energetic patterns The role of constitution versus current imbalance How weather, seasons, and environment affect tissue states Why tongue diagnosis is one of the most valuable assessment tools in herbal medicine How to think about energetics in a practical, grounded, clinical way The waitlist for the FREE Vitalist Herbalism Mini-course is OPEN NOW, sign up now to get the FREE workshop when it opens on June 15, 2026.   ———————————— 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.

Can a $25 Napa red really deliver a premium wine experience?This week on Stop Wasting Your Wine, we're heading from Ghost Block to its sister label, Elizabeth Rose, to find out. In the glass is the 2023 Chockablock Red Blend, a Napa Valley blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec that surprised us from the very first sip.What started as a savory, herbal, and unexpectedly salty wine transformed dramatically as it opened up, revealing layers of dark fruit, oak spice, vanilla, and structure. Along the way, we explore why winemakers blend grapes in the first place, how small percentages of Merlot and Malbec can completely change a wine's personality, and why some of the world's greatest wines are blends rather than single varietal bottlings.In this episode, we discuss:• Why this wine tastes so different from a typical Napa Cabernet• The role of blending in creating balance and complexity• How decanting completely changed our experience with this bottle• Whether a $20 to $25 Napa blend can compete with wines costing far more• Why this might be a bottle worth buying by the case and aging for yearsPlus, a Pick Your Poison scenario that puts your wine pronunciation skills and your relationship with your boss to the ultimate test.Wine Featured:2023 Elizabeth Rose Chockablock Red Blend75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 10% MalbecNapa Valley, CaliforniaSupport the show and help keep the wine flowing!Buy us a glass!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/cheers3⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with the show.

When we're choosing herbs to help someone, knowing their medical diagnosis isn't enough: we don't choose herbs for a diagnosis. As herbalists, we actually need more information! A medical diagnosis is a specialized vocabulary which creates a shorthand so that people who already know what it means, how it happens, and how to fix it, can speak more efficiently about (whatever it is). It's not an objective truth, though: it's a descriptive label that is useful in a specialized context. Herbalism is a different context.That's why it's not very practical to try to look up something like “herbs for neuropathy caused by a herniated cervical disc” – because we can't actually make that list without leaving gaps large enough to drive a truck through. The name of the problem isn't enough information for us to choose herbs, we still have to get more data! We need to understand what the diagnostic term means in absolute terms, and we need to know what the person's experience of that diagnosis is (because not everyone with a certain label has the same experience), and then we need to figure out what herbs or what series of herbs have the actions we need to work toward a resolution.So here's how we think that through – taking this example, and asking: what does “neuropathy caused by a herniated cervical disc” mean for an herbalist? Where exactly can we dig into that to make an impact? What other information do we need to allow us to pick the right herbs to support this person?This process for thinking everything through will work for any problem! It's all in this episode.This example came up in one of our live Q&A sessions last week. Those are a perk enjoyed by every one of our students – whether they're enrolled in a full program like Family Herbalist or Community Herbalist, a single course like Neurological & Emotional Health, or even one of our free short courses such as Herbal Study Tips. Anyone who's learning from us can ask us questions directly at these sessions, twice a week. And if you can't make it live, we keep an archive – there are more than 500 archived Q&A sessions for you to look through! (Don't worry, there's a searchable index so you can find what you're interested in.)Everything we offer is presented in self-paced online video courses, which come with lifetime access to current & future course material, the twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you enjoyed the episode, it helps us a lot if you subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Episode#336-Taped April 22, 2026 We talk about hormone health and hormone therapy. Research has shown that if we use hormone therapy safe and effectively within 10 years of menopause or before age 60 it can offer significant benefits including reduced bone fractures, improved cardiovascular health and reduced cognitive decline. But how does bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and personalized care play a significant role in hormone therapy? Joining us is Nayan Patel, PharmD, he is a clinical pharmacist, and founder of Central Drugs Compounding Pharmacy, a nationally respected facility specializing in bioidentical hormone therapy and personalized care. He will talk about hormone therapy, improving our energy, and our overall health and wellbeing from a pharmaceutical perspective. Dr. Patel will discuss his new book-“The Glutathione Revolution” and how this master antioxidant can help us fight disease, slow aging, and increase energy all the things that we need to have quality of life.

By special request, I discuss the medicinal properties of tobacco, most of which are topical.  Tobacco is a powerful herb that can be both useful and very toxic. Care and common sense must be exercised.  And, while I do not advocate its recreational use, it is by no means a bad or evil plant.  God made everything and declared it "good." While anything may be misused, nothing in nature should be demonized because of irresponsible or mis-use.Herbs that Heal(Catholic) Home Remedies to Forage and Growby Judson Carroll, Stephen Cunninghamhttps://sophiainstitute.com/product/herbs-that-heal/?oid=853&affid=281Also, I am back on Youtube Please subscribe to my channel: @judsoncarroll5902   Judson Carroll - YouTubeTune of the week:I Ain't Got Nobody on guitarI show you how to play a classic early jazz tune that has been a favorite at least since 1914! Emmett Miller had a hit with it in the 1920s, and Bob Wills in the 1930s, Louis Prima in the 1950s, David Lee Roth in the 1980s... and countless others. It has a great rhythm, which I enhance with some western swing style chords for a moving bass line. Then, I teach you a fingerstyle solo/break and give you some ideas to turn this tune into a real showstopper... this one is pure fun!!https://youtu.be/b4Qu2yGuJAcEmail: judson@judsoncarroll.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/southern-appalachian-herbs--4697544/supportRead about The Spring Foraging Cookbook: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-spring-foraging-cookbook.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRP63R54Medicinal Weeds and Grasses of the American Southeast, an Herbalist's Guidehttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/medicinal-weeds-and-grasses-of-american.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47LHTTHandConfirmation, an Autobiography of Faithhttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNKVisit my Substack and sign up for my free newsletter:https://judsoncarroll.substack.com/Read about my new other books:Medicinal Ferns and Fern Allies, an Herbalist's Guide https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/11/medicinal-ferns-and-fern-allies.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMSZSJPSThe Omnivore's Guide to Home Cooking for Preppers, Homesteaders, Permaculture People and Everyone Else: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/10/the-omnivores-guide-to-home-cooking-for.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGKX37Q2Medicinal Shrubs and Woody Vines of The American Southeast an Herbalist's Guidehttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/06/medicinal-shrubs-and-woody-vines-of.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2T4Y5L6andGrowing Your Survival Herb Garden for Preppers, Homesteaders and Everyone Elsehttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/04/growing-your-survival-herb-garden-for.htmlhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X4LYV9RThe Encyclopedia of Medicinal Bitter Herbs: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-encyclopedia-of-bitter-medicina.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5MYJ35RandChristian Medicine, History and Practice: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/01/christian-herbal-medicine-history-and.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B09P7RNCTBHerbal Medicine for Preppers, Homesteaders and Permaculture People: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2021/10/herbal-medicine-for-preppers.htmlAlso available on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B09HMWXL25Podcast:  https://www.spreaker.com/show/southern-appalachian-herbsBlog: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/Free Video Lessons: Herbal Medicine 101 - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7QS6b0lQqEclaO9AB-kOkkvlHr4tqAbs

On this vintage episode of Vitality Radio, Jared introduces two new formulas from Vitality Nutrition: Liquid Yoga and Mind Fuel. Both blends are centered on lion's mane mushroom and shilajit, combined with carefully chosen herbs and mushrooms designed to either sharpen focus or encourage calm. Jared explains why he chose spagyric extraction—an ancient process that preserves the complete profile of plant compounds and minerals—and how this method enhances absorption and balance. You'll hear about the traditions of lion's mane in Chinese medicine, the role of shilajit in Ayurveda, and the unique contributions of additional ingredients like cordyceps, suma, gotu kola, reishi, ashwagandha, tulsi, and lemon balm. Whether the goal is mental clarity, natural energy, or emotional resilience, these formulas highlight the powerful synergy between mushrooms, herbs, and minerals, bridging time-honored wisdom with modern innovation.Products:Mind Fuel - Mushroom & Herb TinctureLiquid Yoga - Mushroom & Herb TinctureVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

If you're interested in herbalism or plant lore, chances are that you've perused a herbal or two in your time. Culpeper's Complete Herbal: A Compendium of Herbs and Their Uses, Annotated for Modern Herbalists, Healers, and Witches is a particularly well-known title, even if the contents have been surpassed with scientific advancements. Yet did you know that one of the most well-regarded herbals of the 18th century was created, and marketed, by a woman? And that she even got endorsements from the Royal College of Physicians for the book, used by apothecaries for decades?

What do I even eat? If that question has ever stopped you in your tracks, this episode is for you. So many of us cycle through the same handful of foods week after week, then feel guilty for not eating more variety. And when we try to fix that, it often turns into more recipes, more shopping, and more pressure to find the perfect anti-cancer diet. In this episode, I want to take that pressure off. The easiest way to add more plants to your plate is probably already in your kitchen. Your spice rack. Herbs and spices are not just flavor; they are plants and parts of plants, and they bring a whole range of beneficial compounds to your meals in just a couple of teaspoons. We talk about: Why variety matters more than any single super food How one pot of chili can deliver 25 different plant foods Turning one chicken into five meals by changing the seasoning How to know if a spice is still good and how long they really last How to buy and store spices so you actually use them Bringing in new flavors through teas and spice blends This is not a new diet or a new set of rules. It is one simple, enjoyable way to nourish your body using what you already have.   Resources Mentioned: Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health  Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US Grab the free guide: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/spices   Let's Connect!

When people think about herbs for stress, they often reach for the usual recommendations. But some of the most supportive herbs aren't always the most obvious.Here, I share three surprising herbs that I frequently think about for different types of stress and nervous system support.► Milky oats for deep depletion and nervous system nourishment► Lavender for anxiety and acute stress support► Reishi for chronic, long-term stress and resilienceI also share an important lesson I've learned after many years of working with herbs: while herbs can be incredible allies, lasting resilience comes from understanding your unique constitution and changing your relationship to stress itself.That's exactly why Rebecca Altman and I created the Building Resilience Course, which combines herbs, self-awareness, and practical tools for building resilience from the inside out.Learn more and join here.

What can an old fairy tale teach us about one of herbalism's most trusted plants?In this episode, herbalist and storyteller Juliet Howard shares one of my favorite stories, "The Wild Swans," an old tale in which stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) plays a central role in healing, devotion, and liberation. From there, our conversation unfolds into a rich exploration of nettle's gifts—from its nourishing minerals and restorative qualities to its role as a fiber plant, natural dye, and lifelong herbal companion.Through story, personal experience, and practical herbal wisdom, Juliet reveals why stinging nettle remains such a treasured herbal ally. Along the way, she offers a thoughtful reminder that some of the most meaningful healing happens slowly, through relationship, consistency, and practice.Juliet also shares her Heavy Nettle Daily Tonic, combining nettle with a few beloved herbal allies to make a deeply nourishing infusion. You can download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Why stinging nettle is a gateway herb for so many herbalists► How nettle is able to break real-life “enchantments” and help bring you back into yourself► Why nettle works best as a long-term herbal ally► A simple daily practice that can transform your relationship with this common weed► What it means to think of plants as friends (rather than simply as resources)► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Juliet's relationship to the wisdom and magic of the plant world began at a very early age while living on the wild cliffs of the Oregon coast. The purpose of her work is to help people come home to themselves through fostering deeper relationships to plants and the natural world. It is her strong conviction that plants are a powerful portal into the magic and wonder of being alive and embodied.With her book, The Girl Whose Garden Comes Alive, Juliet's intention is to help children cultivate lifelong reciprocal relationships with the green world, making them feel both empowered and connected to the land around them.This episode is part herbal conversation, part story hour, and entirely delightful. Whether you already love stinging nettle or are just getting to know it, you'll come away with a deeper appreciation for the many ways this humble plant nourishes, restores, and surprises us.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared dives into the fascinating world of moringa, often called the “miracle tree,” and explains why this nutrient-dense herb deserves real attention beyond the hype. Jared breaks down the history, traditional uses, and modern clinical research behind moringa's role in supporting healthy blood sugar, inflammation balance, antioxidant activity, cardiovascular wellness, and overall vitality. He also explains how moringa differs from typical greens powders, why it functions as both a superfood and tonic herb, and how to use it effectively for metabolic health and daily nutritional support. Plus, Jared shares practical dosing guidance, supplement quality tips, smart supplement stacks, and his thoughts on moringa's emerging research in cellular health and healthy aging support.Products:MoringaNatural Factors BerberineSolaray ProSorb BerberineGLP-1 Metabolic ActivatorCuramed CurcuminAshwagandhaVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Plant ID apps are helpful (when they're accurate), but there is one drawback – they make it harder to learn plant ID for yourself. But there are ways to combat that so that you get good at plant ID – without having to memorize a ton of stuff.It's summer! Now is the time to be out there practicing with your plants. Yes, there are lots of apps that will try to identify plants for you, but this is about skill development – because when you know, you know. Working through the process of observation and identification isn't just a one-time thing, like sending a photo through a plant ID app – it builds and strengthens the pathways in your brain that you use to do the job. So let's get out there and be really looking at plants!In the Olden Times, when you wanted to identify a plant, you'd need a guide book. Each one is a little bit different, but usually there's a “key” to help you sort through all the possibilities and narrow in on a target. These start with distinct patterns, like opposite vs alternate leaf arrangement. Then you might look at the leaf edges, to see if they're serrated, smooth, or something else. At some point you'll look at the flowers, too: are they symmetrical? How many petals, and what color? All these details will help you to exclude some plants (or groups of them), so the set of plant descriptions & pictures you need to look at gets smaller and smaller, until you have a manageable number to work with.So that's how you'd use a plant ID guide, but notice something here: it all starts with observation. Even if you don't know what “pinnate” or “glabrous” means, you can observe features of your plant and recognize its patterns.In this episode, we'll demonstrate the observation process for you, and you can play along! We go outside and describe a plant we know and love, starting with its leaves, stems, flowers, and other clear features. But we won't show it to you until the very end. Can you figure out who we're talking about, before we show it to you? Notice the timestamp when you have a guess.Even if you don't recognize it until we show it to you – or even after we do – it's the process, the attention, and the habit of close looking that we really want to instill in you today. The more you practice observation, the better you'll get at plant ID.Wanna learn more techniques to help you with plant identification, as well as with learning herbalism in general and retaining the stuff you're studying? Grab the free Herbal Study Tips course! This fun course is designed to make all your learning – whether that's with us, from other teachers, from books, or from the plants themselves – more exciting and effective.Like all our offerings, this is a self-paced online video course, which comes with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions, lifetime access to current & future course material, twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you enjoyed the episode, it helps us a lot if you subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) may just be the herb for you!In this short episode, I discuss what I love about passionflower, when it truly shines for dealing with insomnia, and my favorite ways to work with it.As you'll hear, passionflower can be a wonderful herbal ally for certain types of insomnia—but unfortunately, sometimes all the herbs in the world can't help if chronic stress is what's keeping you from being able to sleep.

Together, they unpack psychological warfare, the war on our children, the collapse of true healthcare, and how families can reclaim sovereignty through nature, self-care education, and purpose-driven living.   Highlights: "The antidote for complexity is always simplicity—getting back to nature in as many facets as possible."   "Everyone's looking for a miracle, but they're walking around in one."   "I don't take myself seriously, but I take my job of saving planet Earth very seriously."   "You either pay the farmer or you pay the doctor, it's your choice."   Timestamps: 00:01 – Introduction: From Versace Model to Amazon Awakening 02:40 – Birth of the Certified Health Nut in Ayahuasca Ceremony 04:55 – "Natural" vs. Socially Engineered "Normal" 05:59 – Psychological Warfare, Propaganda, and Mind Control 08:33 – "They Want Our Kids More Than They Want Us" 13:40 – Free Energy, Permaculture, and the Gift Economy 19:31 – Where Do Parents Start in a World of Too Much Information? 25:28 – Herbs, Hunter-Gatherer Nutrition, and Being 60 with Vitality 30:29 – Waldorf Education, Vaccine Laws, and Leaving California 51:17 – One Action: Get So Healthy You Raise Your Frequency and Vibration   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom    Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/  Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com  Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc   Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/     About Troy Casey: Troy Casey, also known as The Certified Health Nut is a holistic health coach, author, and wellness influencer focused on longevity, detox, mindset and natural living.

When most people think about oral care, they think about toothpaste or mouthwash. But herbs have a long history of supporting the mouth, gums, and oral tissues in ways that are both practical and deeply nourishing.In this short podcast, I share three of my favorite underrated herbs for oral health and why each one works so differently.► Plantain for supporting tissue healing► Marshmallow root for soothing dry, irritated tissues► Echinacea for oral discomfort and deeper tissue supportI also talk about one of the most important shifts in herbalism: learning how to match herbs to the tissues and patterns involved instead of using the same approach for everyone.This way of thinking is exactly what Kyle Denton teaches inside the Herbal Dental Care course.
