Have you ever tried an herb that everyone swears by, and it did nothing for you—or even made things worse? Good news: it all comes down to energetics, and once you learn to see people and plants through this lens, you'll be able to choose the right herbs with confidence.Over the last few weeks, I've asked you to send in your questions about herbal energetics—and send them in you did!In this episode, I'm answering some of the questions I heard most often:Why would an herb work for one person, but not for someone else?What if your signs are mixed and you don't fit into neat categories of hot or cold, dry or damp?What to do when your body changes over time?Can you keep working with the herbs you love, even if they're not a great energetic match?Along the way, I'll give you a few simple questions you can ask yourself tonight about your constitution and energetics, so you can begin to apply these principles to your own herbal practice.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► What to do when choosing herbs for a person who runs hot—but whose symptoms are cold► Why your energetics can shift dramatically during different seasons of life► How preparation can change the energetic experience of an herb► How combining herbs can help you work around qualities that are too warming, cooling, drying, or moistening►Why the way an herb is grown can matter—and how to use your tastebuds to determine whether it will work for you►and so much more…If this episode has you wanting to go deeper, my Herbal Energetics Course is a great place to learn more. In the course, we'll move beyond the basic framework and into hands-on practice with taste, temperature, moisture, herbal actions—and yes, lots of plants!

How do we actually know what's in our herbs?Herbs rarely come with nutritional labels, and how a plant is grown, harvested, and stored can dramatically change what ultimately ends up in your cup.There are two ways we can learn more about what our herbs contain. We can turn to tested data, including resources like Dr. Duke's Phytochemical Database, but we also have another incredibly useful tool available to us wherever we go: our own senses.In this episode, I'm using oatstraw as an example to explore organoleptics, the practice of learning about plants through taste, smell, sight, and feel.► What organoleptics means and why it's such a useful skill for herbalists► How tested data and our sensory experiences can work together to help us understand a plant► What oatstraw's soft sweetness can tell us about its nourishing qualities► How its silky, slightly slippery texture reveals its moistening and demulcent qualities► What oatstraw's subtle mineral-rich salty flavor can tell us about the plant► Why you don't need special equipment or a magical ability to start developing your organoleptic skillsWith nothing more than taste and texture, I can already recognize oatstraw as nourishing and moistening. Those qualities fit beautifully with how herbalists work with oatstraw as a soothing plant, especially for the nervous system and for people who feel burnt up and fried out.There are five main flavors in herbal medicine, and each taste offers us a doorway into how an herb works. Learning to recognize those patterns can completely change the way you experience the plants around you.And the wonderful thing is that organoleptics is a skill you can learn. You build it one plant at a time by slowing down and paying attention to what's actually in your cup.That's exactly what I teach inside my Herbal Energetics Course.Enrollment opens only once a year, and this year it closes October 3rd.Join the Herbal Energetics Course here.

First, here's the link to the course Katja mentioned: Working Through GriefUse code GRIEF to get 50% off! (It's not very original, but it works.)This course is full of herbs and holistic strategies to help you navigate grief, as well as a private community where you can talk with people who are going through similar journeys. The course and the community support are yours for life, so you can work at your own pace. We're here for you when you need us.Our society doesn't provide much support for grieving, but here, we can support one another! Whether your grief is based in loss, or trauma; whether it's recent or in the past or ongoing – we're here together, and this is a gentle and welcoming space to be held in community.Grief has many stages, and different herbs are helpful at different points in the journey. Working with herbs and processing grief isn't a one-size-fits-all sort of task. Getting through a dark day, digging in to a deep place within yourself, and setting aside a heavy heart in service of an immediate need – these are all quite different emotional efforts, and they're each best supported by different herbs.Today's episode is in response to a student question – she asked:“I'm curious about herbs that are beneficial for grief? I lost my husband earlier this year and have played a lot with nervines which have helped turn the emotions “down”, which has been wonderful and much needed in some situations. But I'm wondering if there are any herbs that you love for processing and sitting with the grief?”And the answer is, YES!This episode focuses on those two aspects of the journey with grief – both the processing and the sitting with, which are actually interwoven aspects of working through grief. We can't sit still with something until we do some processing, but we can't process until we can sit still with it – so this work happens in a spiral kind of action.Each time you go around a spiral, you work a little deeper in, or stretch a little further out: it's not repetitive circling. And what starts as a small motion can unfold into a complete evolution and shift in perspective. Time will get you there; herbs will help you along the way.You might also like to listen to this episode on grief, from six years ago – its focus was a little different than this one. It was HHP episode 141: Herbs and Grief, at the Death of the Year.Or you might like to keep these reminders of a few helpful grief-support herbs on your phone or computer desktop: hawthorn, rose, elecampane.If you enjoyed the episode, it helps us a lot if you subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Taylor Dukes found hers on a routine full-body scan, then shrank it in half before surgery using metabolic ketosis, methylene blue, and red light.

The elements offer a profound framework for understanding health, herbal medicine, and our connection to nature. Sajah Popham from The School of Evolutionary Herbalism discusses how, across traditional systems such as astrology, alchemy, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Air element governs vital processes of movement, respiration, and communication in the body and mind. By observing how the Air element manifests in our constitution and in plants, we can better utilize specific herbal remedies to soothe nervous tension, clear respiratory pathways, and restore internal balance.   Here's what you'll learn: How the Air element operates across astrology, alchemy, Ayurveda, and traditional Chinese medicine The physiological functions of Air through the zodiac trine of Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius Physical and energetic keys to Air element plants, including tastes and morphology Essential herbal actions for Air imbalances, such as nervines, expectorants, and carminatives Practical applications of herbs like Blue Vervain, Mullein, Milky Oats, and Lemon Balm for Air element imbalances

Your tongue can tell you more about an herb than you might think.In this episode, I explore one of the most useful skills in herbalism: learning to listen to the language of taste. The five flavors—bitter, sweet, pungent, salty, and sour—each have so much information to offer about a plant's qualities and actions in your body, giving you a practical way to understand herbs (instead of trying to memorize endless lists of which herbs are “good for” which conditions).I'll guide you through these five flavors as we take a walk through my garden, highlighting each of the flavors with a different herb. For each of these herbs, you'll learn how it tastes (though of course, the best way to learn this is to taste it yourself!), what that taste is telling you about the qualities of the plant, and some ways you can use those qualities to guide how you work with the plant.Plus, I'll introduce you to the Flavor Wheel, a simple tool I created to help you match the taste of an herb with its energetics and actions. You can get your own copy of the Flavor Wheel when you sign up for my free mini Herbal Energetics Course, which is happening right now and for a short time only! Sign up here.Here's some of what you'll hear:► Do you tend to feel hot, tense, and wound up by the end of the day? You'll hear why a bitter herb can be such a good match.► Do you notice dryness in your throat, skin, or digestion? You'll learn how a sweet, slippery plant softens dry tissues throughout your body.► Are you feeling frazzled, overworked, and spread too thin? You'll find out which pungent, aromatic herb can bring steadiness and clear focus.► Have you ever wondered how an herb can be salty when it tastes nothing like table salt? You'll get the answer and why it matters.► Curious why one bright, sour plant has such a long relationship with the heart? You'll hear how it supports both the physical and emotional heart.The more you taste your herbs, the more you realize that plants are constantly giving us clues—you just have to learn their language. And that's what I love about this approach: it gives us a way to slow down, pay attention, and let the plant tell us something about itself.If you're ready to learn more, come join me in my free mini Herbal Energetics Course!

Eczema is incredibly common in babies and children, but what if the skin is only showing us part of the story? In this episode, Dr. Morgan MacDermott sits down with holistic nurse, clinical herbalist, and pediatric eczema practitioner Abbie Bradford to unpack the many factors that can contribute to eczema and why there isn't one universal cause or solution. They discuss the connection between eczema, gut health, food allergies and sensitivities, the microbiome, antibiotics, C-sections, breastfeeding, environmental exposures, and mold. Abbie also explains why the last thing that happened before a flare isn't necessarily the root cause, when food-based topicals may be problematic for babies, how to think about probiotics and stool testing, and which practical changes parents can start with at home. They also cover mold testing, breastfeeding and elimination diets, allergy testing, topical care, red light, bathing, and why some children may eventually "grow out" of eczema without actually addressing what was happening underneath. Most importantly, this conversation gives parents a framework for thinking about eczema without getting overwhelmed by the endless list of possible triggers. Rather than chasing one cause, Abbie explains how to look at the whole picture and identify the factors that may be contributing to a child's individual presentation.00:00 Trailer + Introduction02:47 Why Eczema Is More Than a Skin Problem06:00 How Common Is Childhood Eczema?09:40 Eczema Is a Symptom, Not the Root Cause11:00 Can Food-Based Lotions Make Eczema Worse?13:28 Vaccines, Immune Reactivity & the “Bucket” Analogy19:42 Are Food Allergies Causing Eczema?21:44 When Baby Rashes Are Normal vs. Concerning23:09 The Gut-Eczema Connection25:47 Mold & Environmental Triggers32:04 How to Test Your Home for Mold38:00 Why Indoor Mold Can Become a Problem40:32 Can Eczema Happen Even Without Antibiotics or Medical Interventions?42:54 Probiotics & Gut Testing for Eczema44:16 Tiny Health vs. GI Map: What Parents Should Know47:55 When Probiotics Can Make Eczema Worse49:57 Gut Healing, Herbs & Why “Killing” Too Soon Can Backfire54:44 The First Things Parents Can Do at Home61:01 Breastfeeding, Elimination Diets & Cow's Milk Protein Allergy67:57 Will My Child Grow Out of Eczema?72:17 Are Allergy Tests Helpful?74:36 Topicals, Red Light & Caring for Eczema-Prone Skin77:21 Bathing, Moisturizing & Why It Depends79:23 Final Thoughts for ParentsResources From This Episode: Check out Abby's Website - https://www.myvibranthealth.net/Follow Abby on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_abbiebradford/ERMI Mold Dust Test - https://moldtesting.com/IEP (Indoor Environmental Professional) List - https://iseai.org/iep-list/Tiny Health Stool Test - https://tinyhealth.myshopify.com/?rfsn=8737966.461e18&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=8737966.461e18Evivo Probiotic - https://www.evivo.com/ION Biome Gut Support - https://intelligenceofnature.com/products/gut-health-supplementCheck out Free to Feed on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/free.to.feed/Dairy Free Breastfeeding Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/dairyfreediet.breastfeeding/ Lumebox Red Light Therapy Device, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER - https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=4336&discount=healthyasamotherpodcastActive Skin Repair - https://shop.bldgactive.com/discount/HEALTHYMOTHERAlba Un-Petroleum JellyDr. Morgan's Pediatric Sickness CourseHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreDr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

Do you have spices sitting around for a long time and have lost their flavor? There's an answer for that, its frozen herbs, looking past the spice rack and into the freezer. Linda Gassenheimer speaks with Michele Abo, General Manager of Dorot Frozen Herbs. She explains all about them and has some easy and delicious recipes for us.

I once heard from a woman who had been studying herbs for two years and had gathered an entire cabinet full of them. But when her mom caught a cold, she stood in her kitchen with the kettle on and couldn't bring herself to make her a cup of tea.She was afraid she might get it wrong.If you've ever felt that way, I want you to know that your caution isn't a problem. In fact, I think it's the exact instinct a good herbalist is built on.In this episode, I'm sharing a simple way to approach herbal safety so that fear doesn't have to keep you from actually working with the plants you've been learning about.► Why being cautious about herbs doesn't mean you're behind or aren't ready► Why many familiar herbs, including ginger, peppermint, rosemary, and turmeric, may already be part of your everyday life► When an herb, medication, pregnancy, health condition, or individual circumstance means it's time to slow down and look more closely► How to recognize when you can move forward, when you should proceed with caution, and when it's best to step back and seek other help► The simple green, yellow, and red “stoplight” framework I created to make herbal safety easier to understand and rememberAfter more than twenty years of teaching about herbs, one thing I've learned is that complicated information becomes much more useful when you can turn it into a framework that sticks.That's why I created this herbal safety stoplight.

SIBO treatment continues to evolve—and Dr. Allison Siebecker is back on The Turd Nerds to break down even more of the latest research on how we treat SIBO and intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO).In Part 2 of our SIBO research update, we move beyond conventional antibiotics and dig into new data on herbal antimicrobials, probiotics, prokinetics, gut motility, and post-infectious IBS.We start with new human research on an herbal antimicrobial combination containing allicin, neem, and pomegranate peel, including its effects on hydrogen and methane production and SIBO symptoms.Then we tackle one of the more controversial questions in SIBO care: probiotics. Can probiotics actually improve SIBO treatment outcomes? Allison walks us through new research on Saccharomyces boulardii, Bacillus coagulans, E. coli Nissle 1917, synbiotics, and probiotics used alongside rifaximin.We also take a deeper look at two of our favorite prokinetics. New research on Iberogast suggests its benefits may extend beyond motility and symptom relief to include prebiotic, anti-inflammatory, and intestinal barrier effects. And prucalopride may be doing much more than helping patients poop—with emerging research exploring cognition, enteric nerve regeneration, visceral sensitivity, and the gut-brain connection.Finally, Allison gives us an update on research into post-infectious IBS and SIBO, including work targeting the anti-vinculin pathway that could eventually change how we approach SIBO that develops after food poisoning.IN THIS EPISODE:• New research on herbal antimicrobials for SIBO• Allicin, neem, and pomegranate peel for hydrogen and methane• Can probiotics improve SIBO treatment success?• Saccharomyces boulardii, Bacillus coagulans, and E. coli Nissle• Probiotics alongside rifaximin• Iberogast as a prokinetic, prebiotic, and gut-barrier support• Prucalopride and intestinal nerve regeneration• Prucalopride, cognition, and the gut-brain connection• Motility and visceral hypersensitivity• Anti-vinculin antibodies and post-infectious IBS• What future SIBO treatment may look likeWhether you treat SIBO every day or you're trying to understand why it keeps coming back, this episode offers a look at how rapidly the SIBO treatment landscape is changing.Music provided by Blue Dot.

You've probably seen ocimene on a label and moved right past it. What the hell is it, and what does it bring to your flower?This week, we're getting into another terp, talking through ocimene's woody, sweet, herbal notes and why plants produce these compounds in the first place. Because apparently plants have a whole lot of shit going on, and making your weed smell good is only part of this conversation.Of course, we take a few turns along the way. We're comparing grinders, talking about our very different experiences with flower and carts, and sharing those moments when getting elevated turns into being way too focused on one sensation. We also question some of the claims attached to ocimene—because seeing “uplifting” next to a terpene doesn't tell you how that whole strain is going to feel.The conversation keeps coming back to knowing what you're consuming. Look past the strain name, check the terpene profile, and pay attention to your own experience. There's a lot more to your flower than the THC number on the front.In this episode:00:24 — Getting familiar with ocimene and where we've noticed it01:40 — Woody, sweet, floral: talking aroma and terpene families02:42 — Cis, trans, and questions we still have about the chemistry03:38 — Herbs, fruit, and why plants produce terpenes05:40 — Plant defenses and calling in backup against pests07:05 — Decongestant claims and our personal experiences with congestion09:06 — Grinders, flower mills, kief, and the quality of your grind12:02 — Comparing our experiences with THC, flower, and distillate carts14:50 — Cartridge dosing and checking the certificate of analysis (COA)16:50 — Intentional consumption and the stoner stereotype21:12 — Does “uplifting” tell the whole story?22:37 — Mixing strains—and somehow, ketchup on mac and cheese23:54 — Looking beyond strain names to what's actually in the flowerHave you noticed ocimene in any of your favorite strains?

How many of us have journeyed through this life without some form of disordered eating patterns or an eating disorder? My guess is, if we were honest, the answer is very few. We live in a world constantly feeding us images of bodies that are desirable, even when trends change, they are often not realistic bodies that most of us live in.It is SO easy to fall into patterns or either restricting and/or binge-eating. Sometimes it's body image based, sometimes it's gut health based, sometimes it's even orthorexia (obsession with purity or healthy eating).I've personally experienced all three. So what can we do to both acknowledge these patterns in ourselves, and also find paths to a more harmonious relationship with them? How can cycle tracking (from a body literacy lens), herbal allies and the frame of harm reduction support us?This is what today's guest - student midwife and FAM educator Kaeleigh Terrill - speaks to from both an embodied and a professional perspective.It is SUCH a needed conversation. May we have many more of these.Resources:Today's shownotes: Grab Kaeleigh's zine on herbs for harm reduction etcFee Guide: Get started with Fertility Awareness Method cycle trackingEpisode 4: Tulsi herbal spotlightEpisode 21: Disordered eating, chronic illness & cycles w Lisa MaseEpisode 68: Milky oats herbal spotlightEpisode 75: Breathwork, body image & disordered eatingEpisode 86: Ashwagandha herbal spotlightIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

What if ingredients that can enrich a healthy lifestyle are already growing in your garden, waiting at the farmers' market, or sitting in your spice cupboard? Too often, eating for longevity is framed as a list of restrictions, a mindset that can drain pleasure from food and make healthy choices feel difficult to sustain. or healthy longevity, nourishment must be practical enough for daily life and enjoyable enough to continue.  Fresh ingredients, seasonal variety, herbs, plants, and mindful attention to what works for your own body can help make the kitchen a place of creativity rather than deprivation. Growing even one herb can also reconnect us with the source of our food and turn nurturing a plant into a small, restorative ritual. In this episode, international culinary consultant, award-winning pastry chef, cookbook author, and former professional ballerina, Natasha MacAller joins Dr. Gillian to discuss her new book, The Apothecary Chef: Recipes with Beneficial Herbs & Plants for a Long and Healthy Life. She shows how everyday herbs, edible plants, fresh seasonal ingredients, and sensory pleasure can support a more nourishing approach to healthy longevity. She and Dr. Gillian Lockitch explore responsible food-based guidance, simple ways to begin—even from a condo windowsill—and the importance of curiosity, movement, resilience, and joy in aging youthfully. Natasha explains how the book grew from her New Zealand garden, how its food and health statements were researched and reviewed, and how celebrated chefs around the world created recipes around carefully chosen "hero" ingredients.  You will learn how to begin with familiar alliums such as onions, garlic, shallots, and chives; how to use color, aroma, seasonality, and curiosity at the farmers' market; and why mistakes are part of becoming a confident cook. Natasha also recommends approachable recipes and combinations, including a sunshine citrus salad with lemon balm vinaigrette and simple avocado, tomato, pickled onion, and fresh-herb salads.  This reunion podcast is especially meaningful for Dr. Gillian, who first interviewed Natasha when Vanilla Table was published for her lifestyle website reviewfromthehouse.com . Their shared stories of dance, spinal injury, reinvention, and recovery bring a deeply personal dimension to a conversation about resilience—and remind us that creativity, curiosity, nourishing food, and joyful movement can continue to grow throughout life.  Episode Timeline: 00:00 — Welcome and the promise of beneficial plants, flavor, and healthy aging  06:12 — From Vanilla Table to The Apothecary Chef: Natasha's garden-inspired journey  14:18 — Responsible food-based guidance, research, and culinary medicine review  19:12 — Gut health, calm, immunity, longevity, resilience, and the book's chapter themes  21:03 — Where beginners can start: alliums, windowsill herbs, and familiar ingredients  23:52 — Why healthy longevity does not have to mean a restrictive diet  26:18 — Movement, spinal recovery, resilience, and finding physical joy  34:44 — One simple action to take today and easy recipes to try  39:24 — Final reflections: nourishment, creativity, curiosity, and lifelong resilience  Connect with Natasha MacAller The Apothecary Chef: https://www.dancingchef.net/cookbooks  https://www.octopusbooks.co.uk/titles/natasha-macaller/the-apothecary-chef/9781804192818/  Natasha's cookbooks: https://www.dancingchef.net/cookbooks  Vanilla Table, Spice Health Heroes, The Apothecary Chef: Recipes with Beneficial Herbs & Plants for a Long and Healthy Life  PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/  Disclosure: No affiliate relationship with Natasha MacAller or the book publisher is indicated.

Immune boosting herbs are popular, and it's not hard to see why. Everyone wants to avoid getting sick! It makes intuitive sense to a lot of folks that if you amp up your immunity, you'll be more resilient in the face of germs – or I guess, more resilient to germs in your face! But hang on. What does “immune boosting” even mean? Is immunity really a singular ‘thing' that can be stimulated, like sliding a dimmer switch upwards? Is it all just a matter of stimulating white blood cell activity? As is always the case in biology and medicine, the truth is more complicated than that.This is particularly relevant in the context of autoimmunity, where some of the so-called “immune boosting herbs” can actually have adverse effects. If you overstimulate an immune system that's attacking your own body, you just intensify the attack. So the question arises: what can a person with an autoimmune condition do to keep their defenses up? If we can't stimulate immunity, what can we do?The answer is: a lot. And it's all stuff that anyone can do, whether autoimmune or not. In our experience, it's also a lot more important than the immune stimulant herbs, because it's more foundational and more individualized than the “elderberry & echinacea for everyone!” one-size-fits-all approach.We can start by changing our focus from immune stimulation to immune modulation. This isn't just wordplay. Modulation of immunity means making multiple simultaneous adjustment in multiple directions, whereas stimulation is ALL AHEAD FORWARD. True immunity is a complex interplay of multiple organs, cell types, and signaling molecules in the body. Dialing everything up to 11 isn't constructive, but a strategic nudge in the right direction at the right time? That gets the job done, and immunomodulating herbs – like mushrooms and seaweeds – can do exactly that.Immunity is often discussed in martial metaphors: the pathogenic assault, the immune defenses, the combat between them. But if we follow this metaphor all the way, we should realize that logistics and supply lines are often what makes the difference in a real-world conflict, and this is no less true in our bodies. Lymphatics, nutritives, and sleep aid herbs can be much more helpful than immune-boosting herbs for this reason.The best defense is… a good defense, actually. Better to keep the germs out than to let them in, let them proliferate, and then get your guns blazing. Maintaining healthy boundaries, quite literally, is a key strategy. These are your points of contact with the outside world: your sinuses, your lungs, your GI tract. And even if you're autoimmune, you can work with demulcents, astringents, and vulneraries to keep their membranes functioning well.Our brand-new Winter Health bundle is the best way to go deeper in this material – and there's a lot further to go.

What if fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and chronic Lyme were not separate diseases at all, but one problem wearing different masks? Dr. Bill Rawls, MD, co-founder and medical director of Vital Plan, got so sick in his forties that conventional medicine could not reach him. He rebuilt himself from the cell up with herbs, and he now argues that your cells carry dormant microbes for decades, and that health comes down to whether those cells can keep clearing house. This episode lays out the cellular picture of chronic illness and the herbs that hold it in check. Meet our guest Dr. Bill Rawls, MD is a number-one bestselling author (Unlocking Lyme, The Cellular Wellness Solution) and the founder of Vital Plan, where he developed the RESTORE180 herbal protocol. After a chronic-Lyme crisis, he restored his health through botanical medicine and has spent over a decade piecing together the research on how cells and microbes drive chronic illness.

About 60% of all microbe mass on Earth is dormant at any moment. 95% of people carry Epstein-Barr and at least 60% carry Toxoplasma, usually without symptoms. Antibiotics depend on fast growth, so they struggle against slow microbes like Borrelia. Herbs carry hundreds of compounds, so microbes never develop resistance, and they spare the gut and mitochondria. Adaptogenic antimicrobials like Japanese knotweed and cat's claw can be taken long term. Start with turmeric, boswellia, and reishi on a base of sleep, plant diversity, and movement. Episode highlights 1:54 Why cells are the real root of chronic illness 15:21 Dormant microbes living in your cells for decades 24:53 Autophagy: your cells' cleanup crew and defense 46:45 Why antibiotics fail against stealth microbes 51:20 The boiling point and rebuilding with herbs 58:38 Adaptogens vs adaptogenic antimicrobials 1:10:14 Where to start: herbs, dose, and the basics Links Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/V4GoxN31sUQ  Full episode show notes: https://outliyr.com/278 Connect with Nick on social media Instagram Twitter (X) YouTube LinkedIn Easy ways to support Subscribe Leave an Apple Podcast review Suggest a guest Do you have questions, thoughts, or feedback for us?

Pokeweed is poisonous—but that's not the whole story. What if knowing how to work with this potent plant could turn fear into respect, and even put a delicious wild green on your dinner table?As many of us learned growing up, poke (Phytolacca americana) is a plant that deserves a healthy amount of caution.

And perhaps most importantly, they share the practical knowledge that makes all the difference in preparing and working with pokeweed safely.Curious about bringing poke into your own kitchen? Be sure to download the beautifully illustrated recipe card for AC and Isaac's Poke Salad here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► How poke differs from other lymphatic herbs like cleavers and chickweed► Which part of the poke plant to harvest for food (and the physical clues that tell you when it's ready)► Tips for growing, harvesting, and extending the season for poke► The simple method that AC and Isaac use to turn this poisonous plant into a delicious spring green► How Isaac views the botany and actions of poke through an astrological lens► A clever way to make your tinctures more potent (for many plants, not just poke!)► and so much more…For those of you who don't know them, AC & Isaac Hill are the hosts of the Plant Cunning Podcast, where they have interviewed some of the most influential herbalists, permaculturists, astrologers and spiritual practitioners in the world.AC is a community herbalist, product maker, and co-director of the Actaea Institute for Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy.

Virgo, the physician of the zodiac, rules the gut, the harvest, and the humble herbs that heal without fanfare. In this remastered Astro Herbalism episode, Kyle Denton of Tippecanoe Herbs, Mario Garza of Symbolic Studies, Michelle Lundquist of Michelle's Healing Home, and Slick Dissident join Chance Garton to explore the mutable earth sign through its plants, its myths, and its medicine.We weigh the Hermit card as an elder shepherd carrying the lamb, trace the Virgin from the Mesopotamian furrow to the fleur de lis, and ask why the gut prefers to stay hidden. Then the herbs: Chamomile, the gentle healer that proves soft can still be strong; Queen Anne's Lace, the wild carrot with the single drop of blood at its center; the Madonna Lily and its long lineage of virgin birth symbolism; Milky Oats for burnt out nerves; Corn Silk and the hairy, hidden wisdom of whole grains; and Wood Betony, the forgotten herb that reconnects a busy head to its gut instincts.This remaster (originally recorded in 2023) has cleaner audio and a tighter cut, turning a rambling livestream into a focused master class on Virgo, discernment, digestion, and the doctrine of signatures.Herbal content in this episode is shared for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

What are dream herbs—and how can plant allies support dream recall, dream incubation, creativity, healing, and spiritual connection? On this episode of The Dream Journal, host Katherine Bell speaks with author, herbalist, certified hypnotherapist, dream guide, and intuitive coach Audrey Gilbert about her book Herbal Dream Magic: Spells and Rituals with Plant Allies. Audrey explains the difference between sleep-supporting herbs and oneirogens, discusses familiar plants such as chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, rosemary, mugwort, blue lotus, skullcap, blue vervain, and ginkgo, and shares practical ways to prepare for intentional dreaming. The conversation explores nighttime rituals, setting a clear question, keeping a dream journal, building a bedside altar, reconnecting during a “dream drought,” and working with dreams during a second sleep. In the second half, the conversation expands into collective dreaming, dreams with the land, and a striking linden-tree dream in which the name “Tilia” becomes a doorway to connection and care. Audrey also tells the story of choosing her name through a vivid tree dream and describes how science, folklore, psychology, tarot, animistic spirituality, and herbal practice come together in her work. In This Episode What plant allies are—and why relationship matters more than treating herbs as tools Dream herbs versus sleep herbs, including oneirogens and nervines Dream incubation practices for questions, guidance, healing, and creativity Simple rituals: journaling, intention-setting, tea, bedside altars, sigils, and reconnecting after waking Plants associated with relaxation, vivid dreams, cognition, and dream recall Audrey's origin story and the dream that inspired her chosen name Collective dreaming, dreaming with the land, and shared imagery The relationship between folklore, personal experience, and emerging dream research BIO: Audrey Gilbert is an herbalist, certified hypnotherapist, dream guide, and intuitive coach helping people cultivate healing, creativity, and spiritual connection through the wisdom of plants and dreams. Audrey weaves together science, folklore, psychology, and animistic spirituality into practices that are both practical and deeply meaningful.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Pasture-Raised Eggs and Smarter Supplementation  [0:02:35] Clint's Podcasts & New Health Success-Story Show Clint mentions he has multiple podcasts under the Nuga Podcast umbrella. Shares that he's curating and sharing many shows (20+). Ed and Clint plan a new podcast through Nutrition World on health success stories. [0:03:02] Ed's Injury & The Body's Healing Power Ed describes nearly severing his middle finger in a steel door. Took 3 days to stop bleeding, now ~70% healed in 5 days. Uses this to illustrate the “magic” of the human body when given what it needs. Critiques tendency to credit treatments instead of the body's inherent healing capacity. Highlights tension between the traditional medical model and holistic philosophies. [0:04:25] New Azure Partnership for Food Products Announces partnership with Azure (AZURE): Nutrition World will stock ~100 new high-quality, holistic food items: Maple syrup, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, organic chicken breast, cheeses, farm butters, etc. Positioned as top-quality natural food products aligned with Nutrition World's standards. [0:05:13] Ed's Bodybuilding Contest Prep & Carb Refeed Lesson Ed is training for his 4th Chattanooga fitness/bodybuilding contest. Coached by Matt Davis (Train Station gym owner) and his wife Julie. Current approach: High protein, ~40% fewer calories than usual. Dealing with hunger and caloric restriction. Matt's key advice: Eat 300g carbs (vs usual 50g) on a specific Sunday. Result: Ed realized how depleted he had been; refeed improved performance and appearance. [0:11:08] Segment with Kristy: Homesteading, Chickens, and Truly Pasture-Raised Eggs Christy: long-time friend and staff member at Nutrition World; now a homesteader. Has ~100 chickens, plus donkey, goats, dogs, cats, husband. Sells eggs through Nutrition World; Ed personally eats 12–18 of her eggs per week. Philosophy: Doesn't “domesticate” or Instagram her chickens. Lets chickens “do chicken things”: peck, eat bugs, scratch soil. No chemicals on property: no weed killers, garden chemicals, or pest sprays. Birds are effectively free-range in the woods, not fenced.  Predator Management with Donkey & Dogs Previously lost 3 chickens to a fox attack. Now uses: Bradford the donkey – daytime guardian; alerts with noise and stomping. Great Pyrenees dog – night guardian for coyotes. Roosters help herd hens to cover when alerted. [0:15:36] Water Filtration & “Structured Water” for Animals Christy filters all animal water with a strong (non-RO) filtration system. Then uses a “structuring” device that swirls water to mimic natural flowing water over rocks, restoring “life” and improving hydration. Reports animals (and people) feel more hydrated and less thirsty on structured water. [0:18:13] Egg Production, Breeds, and Yolk Color Different shell colors = different breeds (white Leghorn, Rhode Island Red, etc.). Shell color does NOT indicate health (brown ≠ healthier than white). Key health marker: deep orange yolk Pale yellow = missing nutrients, especially protein-rich, nutrient-dense feed. Production: A chicken lays about 5–6 eggs/week, with 3 most productive years. Christy does not cull hens at 2–3 years like many operations; keeps older birds for tick and bug control and because they're still valuable. [0:21:17] Feed, Herbs, and Natural Health Strategies Summer: chickens get very little commercial feed, mostly bugs and forage. Uses pumpkin seeds, oregano, rosemary, etc. daily to support gut health and control worms. Avoids antibiotics; instead builds terrain (overall resilience) through diet and environment. [0:22:07] Eggs as “Perfect Protein” & Cholesterol Discussion Ed: eggs have top-tier Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) and complete amino acid profile. Highlights key yolk nutrients: especially choline for brain health. Addresses cholesterol myth: Ed eats 12–18 eggs/week, yet his total cholesterol is ~140 and ApoB is 43 (very low). Emphasizes ApoB and Lp(a) are more meaningful than plain cholesterol. Suggests dietary cholesterol from eggs is not the main driver of cardiovascular risk for most people. Organic eggs: chickens get organic feed, but may still be caged indoors. Producers can sometimes switch feed briefly and still qualify. Pasture-raised: chickens outdoors, in sunlight, foraging — Christy's preference and Ed's recommendation. Chickens are not vegetarians; they're meant to eat bugs and animal protein, so “vegetarian-fed” marketing is misleading for their natural diet. [0:26:34] Other Egg Tips Chickens love scrambled eggs as a high-protein treat. She also feeds them crushed eggshells back for calcium, supporting strong shells. Storing unwashed farm-fresh eggs: Have a natural “bloom” (protective coating). Can be kept unrefrigerated for ~6 weeks or more. Storing retail eggs: Legally must be washed, removing that coating. Must therefore be refrigerated and cannot safely sit on the counter. [0:33:27]  Segment with Curt Dearing: Deprescribing & “Desupplementing” Curt recaps prior discussion on deprescribing medications and the danger of polypharmacy (average American: ~17 prescriptions/year). Introduces “desupplementing”: Many people take too many supplements, often focused on low-impact (“tier 4”) items rather than foundational ones. Goal: simplify supplement regimens, cut redundancy, and focus on what truly matters. Warns about a false sense of security: People think “I'm taking a pill, so I don't need to improve diet or lifestyle.” Applies to pharmaceuticals and supplements. [0:37:41] Case Study: Simplifying a Real Person's Regimen Medications this person was on: Atorvastatin (for cholesterol) Nexium (PPI for reflux) Amlodipine (for blood pressure) Zoloft (for mood) Curt's key points: Standard lipid panel is limited; LDL number alone is not predictive. Recommends advanced lipoprotein testing (ApoB, etc.) and calcium score. Patient had a calcium score of 0 (good), but: That only measures calcified plaque, not soft plaque. Still must monitor inflammation markers like hs-CRP. On specific meds: Atorvastatin: Curt can support stopping it outright, especially with good advanced labs and zero calcium score. Notes statins lower numbers but don't always improve real-world outcomes or calcium scores. Nexium (PPI): Must taper (risk of rebound acid if stopped cold turkey). Long-term use harms magnesium, calcium, micronutrient absorption and may affect bones, kidneys, cognition. Amlodipine: Often tapered (half-dose a few weeks, then lower), while improving lifestyle and boosting magnesium intake. Curt believes conventional targets may push blood pressure too low in older adults. Zoloft: Psych meds generally need careful tapering, not abrupt cessation. [0:47:51] Desupplementing: Cutting Redundancy & Upgrading Quality Key supplement clean-up actions Curt recommends in the case study: Switch to a high-quality multivitamin that includes: B vitamins → drop separate B-complex. CoQ10 (100 mg) → drop separate CoQ10. Vitamin D: always pair with Vitamin K for calcium direction (bones vs arteries). Probiotics: Take breaks (e.g., a month off periodically). Rotate brands/strains, including spore-based options. Quercetin + stinging nettle for allergies: Great combo, but if allergies are seasonal, use it seasonally, not all year. Magnesium: Many people take too little and/or the wrong form. Curt prefers glycinate and taurate for blood pressure, relaxation, sleep, and broad benefits. Omega-3s: Ensure triglyceride form for better absorption. For blood pressure and inflammation, consider high-DHA formulas (e.g., DHA Extra ~960 mg DHA). Berberine/Bergamot: Combines as “Berbercol” to support lipids, blood sugar, and cardiovascular health. Weight-loss products: Instead of chasing stimulants, tackle sleep quality, mood, and lifestyle (he mentions different forms of saffron for mood vs weight management, with the right extract making a difference). Overall result: fewer pills, more targeted impact, and cost savings. [0:56:11] Policy Wins, Tax Treatment of Supplements, and Food Spots Ed shares good news on alternative health funding: Despite fears it might be cut from the federal budget, support for alternative/holistic health remains in the proposal. Dietary Supplement Access Act: Would classify dietary supplements as a qualified medical expense in the IRS code. Proposed annual limits: Up to $500/year per individual. $250/year for married filing separately. Could effectively make many people's basic supplement costs tax-advantaged. Ed plugs Tallow House in Cleveland (tallow-based burger concept, extremely busy) and his regular Cheesecake Factory order: Steak Diane, extra broccoli, extra mushrooms, no mashed potatoes. Matches his preferred macro pattern: high protein, healthy fat, and a colorful vegetable. Clint closes by encouraging listeners to control what they can about their health and keep making incremental improvements.

Butterfly pea is beautiful enough to steal the show—but what if its real magic has nothing to do with its color?In this episode, I'm joined by Clarenda Stanley (aka Farmer Cee), who completely changed the way I think about butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea).I'll admit that before this conversation, I mostly thought of butterfly pea as the plant that turns your tea an incredible cobalt blue. But Cee makes a compelling case for looking beyond the color. She shares why she loves butterfly pea for mood support, nourishment, and as a surprisingly versatile ally during the transitions of perimenopause and menopause. We also talk about its role as a nitrogen-fixing plant, its beautiful relationship with bees, and so many delicious ways to enjoy those vibrant flowers.During our conversation, Cee also takes us inside Green Heffa Farms and her philosophy of boutique farming, where quality, sustainability, and the well-being of the farmer come first. Along the way, she offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be an herbalist—and to build a life that sustains rather than drains.Cee shares her recipe for Herbal Cool Aid, a refreshing, vibrant blend of butterfly pea flower along with other cooling herbs.

What happens when a young woman who grew up surrounded by horses and the outdoors develops a mysterious red ring after spending a summer working at a horse camp in West Virginia—but no one recognizes the possibility of Lyme disease? In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with Hannah Green, a Lyme disease survivor, advocate, and author from England whose international Lyme journey stretches across the United Kingdom, United States, and Australia. Hannah is the author of My Lyme Success Story, a book documenting her personal experience with chronic Lyme disease, the research she conducted while searching for answers, the approaches she believes helped her recover, and the lessons she learned about listening to her body along the way. Tick Boot Camp first met Hannah after she traveled from England to Connecticut for the Lyme Warrior 10th Anniversary Gala, where patients, researchers, clinicians, authors, advocates, and Lyme community leaders gathered for an evening centered on science, advocacy, connection, and hope. Hannah's story is ultimately about much more than one treatment or protocol. It is about missed warning signs, years without answers, becoming her own researcher, learning to trust herself again, and refusing to give up on the possibility of getting better. Growing Up Around Horses—but Knowing Almost Nothing About Ticks Hannah grew up in southeast England and spent much of her childhood outdoors. Horses became one of her greatest passions, and she eventually trained professionally in riding, horse management, dressage, and eventing. She was also deeply interested in animal health. Hannah spent time working around veterinary medicine and learned about fleas, lice, worms, botflies, equine influenza, strangles, and other conditions affecting horses. Yet one subject was almost completely absent from her education: ticks and Lyme disease. Despite spending years around horses, dogs, cats, veterinary environments, fields, and the English countryside, Hannah remembers receiving virtually no meaningful education about ticks or the infections they can transmit. The West Virginia Horse Camp and Hannah's Possible Lyme Exposure At approximately 19 years old, Hannah traveled alone from England to the United States to work as a riding counselor at a horse camp in West Virginia near the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was a major adventure for someone who describes herself at that age as extremely shy. Hannah suddenly found herself responsible for a cabin of young campers while teaching multiple horseback riding lessons each day. She loved the experience. But the camp also introduced Hannah to something she had never encountered before: ticks. Hannah remembers discovering engorged ticks attached to horses grazing in long grass. After asking what they were, she and other staff members were shown how to remove them. Removing ticks from the horses soon became part of their regular routine. What Hannah does not remember receiving was comprehensive education connecting those ticks with the potential risk of Lyme disease in humans. She recalls being warned about hazards such as poison ivy and rattlesnakes, but she does not remember meaningful tick-bite prevention training for counselors or campers. There was a Lyme disease pamphlet in the staff area, but the information Hannah remembers most strongly involved severe neurological complications such as seizures and paralysis. She did not come away understanding the broad range of symptoms that could develop or recognizing how important an expanding rash could be. The Red Ring That Was Dismissed as a Spider Bite Years later, while reconstructing her medical history after finally learning about Lyme disease, Hannah remembered something important from that summer. She had developed a distinctive red ring on her lower leg. At the time, Hannah says someone told her that it was probably a spider bite and that she should simply keep the area clean and watch it. The rash did not significantly hurt or itch, and it eventually disappeared. No one, according to Hannah's recollection, asked whether she might have been bitten by a tick. She did not connect the rash with the ticks she had been routinely removing from horses, and she did not connect it with the Lyme disease pamphlet she had briefly seen. Hannah believes today that this may have been the event that began her Lyme disease journey. For practical prevention and early-action information, read the Tick Boot Camp Tick Bite Blueprint. The First Sign Something Was Wrong Hannah initially remained extremely healthy and active after leaving the United States. She returned to England and attended Aston Business School near Birmingham. But approximately six months after her time at camp, she began noticing unusual problems with her knees. She was a runner and initially assumed she had simply overtrained. Her knees would ache and sometimes lock, particularly when walking down gentle slopes or moving at certain angles. Cold weather could make the discomfort worse. Because Hannah had been a competitive runner and lifelong equestrian athlete, healthcare professionals often attributed the symptoms to physical activity and wear and tear. She was told variations of the same explanation: runner's knee, overuse, muscle imbalance, or consequences of years of athletic activity. Yet Hannah was still a young woman, and the symptoms continued. Over time, joint problems began appearing elsewhere. Her elbows became involved. Her lower back became increasingly problematic. A diagnosis of scoliosis provided another seemingly logical explanation for some of her pain. Hannah kept adapting and pushing forward. She even completed the London Marathon, although afterward her knees became so painful and locked that she struggled to walk normally for approximately a week. When Her Health Finally Collapsed After university, Hannah continued traveling internationally, including spending time in Borneo and eventually completing a round-the-world trip. Then, around 2006, everything changed. After developing what appeared to be a significant viral illness, Hannah says she never fully recovered. Her shoulder became extremely painful and effectively froze. What followed was no longer an isolated problem with her knees or back. Hannah describes developing a growing collection of debilitating symptoms that included: Severe fatigue and exhaustion Joint and musculoskeletal pain Digestive problems Insomnia Anxiety Depression Episodes of intense anger or rage Memory problems Progressively worsening neurological and systemic symptoms Difficulty maintaining normal work and daily activities She describes the illness as feeling like a combination of flu, glandular fever, and malaria. Instead of resolving, her symptoms continued getting worse for approximately six years. Trying to Keep Working While Becoming Increasingly Ill Hannah attempted to continue working despite her deteriorating health. She worked with horses and also painted portraits professionally, but even limited morning work became increasingly difficult because of overwhelming fatigue. She frequently needed time off and struggled to explain what was happening because she did not understand it herself. Later, while working in a tea shop, Hannah began noticing that her memory was also being affected. She describes 30 or 40 symptoms gradually accumulating, with insomnia, chronic fatigue, and mood changes becoming some of the most difficult to manage. Meanwhile, repeated medical testing failed to provide an explanation. Several doctors told Hannah that her results were normal and that they could not find anything wrong. She says she did not necessarily feel directly accused of imagining her illness, but over time it became easier to stop discussing what she was experiencing because she felt that people were not truly hearing her. Moving to Australia While Searching for Answers Hannah eventually moved to Australia, hoping that a different environment and lifestyle might improve her health. She would spend approximately a decade there. Initially, the excitement of the move helped her keep going. She settled in tropical Darwin and started a graphic design company. Then her health crashed again. During the first wet season, Hannah became severely ill and spent significant periods in bed. Eventually, even working a few hours per day from home became too difficult, and she had to close the company she had built. She developed severe food reactions and describes being bedridden for seven to ten days at a time. Her relationship also ended during this period. Hannah describes eventually losing her business, her apartment, her ability to ride horses, much of her independence, and a significant amount of weight. At her lowest point, she says she would sometimes visit the stables and simply hold herself against a rail while watching the horses because she no longer had the strength to ride or even interact with them normally. The Chance Conversation That Changed Everything One day at the stables, another person noticed how ill Hannah had become. Hannah explained what was happening, and the woman told her about another horse rider with similar symptoms who was seeing a doctor who periodically traveled from Perth to Darwin to work with patients experiencing chronic fatigue and unexplained illness. Hannah and the other woman both scheduled appointments. After reviewing Hannah's extensive symptoms, the physician told her he believed she had late-stage Lyme disease. Hannah says subsequent testing through Australian Biologics was positive for Borrelia. The diagnosis triggered a flood of memories—the ticks on the horses, the pamphlet in West Virginia, and the unexplained red ring on her leg years earlier. For the first time, Hannah felt that the scattered pieces of her story might belong to the same puzzle. Lyme Disease, Co-Infections, and Alternative Testing Hannah continued exploring her illness through a combination of conventional and alternative approaches. She describes undergoing PCR testing through Australian Biologics as well as bioresonance and autonomic response testing. During the interview, Hannah says these alternative assessments suggested possible Borrelia strains, co-infections, active viruses, heavy metals, parasites, yeast overgrowth, gut inflammation, and other abnormalities. Among the infections discussed during her journey were Borrelia, Bartonella, Babesia, Rickettsia, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and Chlamydia, as well as viral findings including Epstein-Barr virus. It is important to distinguish Hannah's personal experience from established clinical diagnostic standards. Bioresonance and autonomic response testing are not established replacements for validated medical testing for Lyme disease or tick-borne infections. Hannah is sharing what practitioners told her and how those results influenced her personal recovery decisions. Choosing a Different Lyme Treatment Path After receiving her Lyme diagnosis, Hannah says the physician treating her wanted to begin an aggressive multi-antibiotic protocol. Hannah decided not to pursue that approach. She was already extremely weak, her digestive system was severely affected, and she was concerned about medication side effects. Instead, she asked whether there were other options and ultimately chose to spend several months researching Lyme disease treatment approaches around the world. Her family and friends were frightened by the decision, but Hannah says she felt strongly that she needed to find a different path for herself. That decision became the beginning of the recovery strategy she would later document in My Lyme Success Story. Building a Staged, Whole-Person Recovery Plan Hannah describes her recovery not as one treatment, but as a staged process. Working with naturopathic practitioners and combining their guidance with her own research, she focused first on what she describes as improving her body's overall terrain before directly targeting Lyme and co-infections. Her personal strategy included: Reducing environmental stressors Simplifying her lifestyle Changing her diet Supporting gut health Addressing issues practitioners identified as heavy metals and parasites Reducing inflammation Using herbs and supplements Using binders and detoxification strategies Experimenting with bioresonance Meditation and nervous-system calming practices Emotional and trauma-focused work Creating an environment where she felt safe enough to recover Hannah emphasizes that the sequence mattered to her. She believes preparing her body first made it easier to tolerate later interventions. The Diet Change That Gave Her Hope Diet became one of the earliest major changes in Hannah's recovery. Based on the recommendations she was receiving at the time, she adopted a highly individualized, low-inflammatory Paleo-style diet. She says that after approximately four weeks of changing her diet and focusing on cleansing and lifestyle interventions, she felt better than she had in four years. That improvement became a major psychological turning point. For the first time in years, Hannah had tangible evidence that something she was doing might be helping. From there, she continued gradually working through the other areas she believed were contributing to her illness. Herbs, Bioresonance, and Individualized Treatment Hannah experimented extensively with herbs and natural products. She describes using BioPure Quintessence, a herbal tincture containing ingredients including Japanese knotweed and Andrographis, after another product did not feel appropriate for her. She also describes using binders and other detoxification strategies while gradually increasing the intensity of her treatment. Bioresonance became another major part of her personal approach. Hannah says she used a portable device at home for approximately six months and also used bioresonance testing to help guide decisions about foods, herbs, and supplements. She reports that, through the overall combination of approaches she was using, she went from being largely bedbound to symptom-free in approximately 11 months. That is Hannah's personal account and should not be interpreted as evidence that the same interventions will produce the same results for another person. The Story Behind Hannah's "Lyme-Busting Drink" One memorable moment in the interview involves something Hannah jokingly calls her "Lyme-busting drink." Hannah says she gathered several antimicrobial ingredients in her kitchen and intuitively selected ingredients to combine into a homemade preparation. She later took the mixture to her naturopath, who tested it using the bioresonance method they were working with. Hannah says the mixture tested strongly for her. The larger takeaway from this part of the story is not that listeners should reproduce Hannah's homemade mixture. Rather, Hannah uses the story to illustrate just how individualized and experimental her own recovery process became. She repeatedly emphasizes listening to her own body and adjusting what she was doing based on how she felt. Learning to Trust Her Body Again One of the strongest themes throughout Hannah's interview is intuition. Years of unexplained illness can cause people to question themselves, especially after repeated normal tests or medical appointments that fail to provide answers. Hannah says she never entirely lost the belief that her body was telling her something important. When she was told nothing could be found, she continued searching. When one explanation did not make sense to her, she kept looking. And once she finally received a diagnosis, she approached recovery with the same determination. Rich identifies this as one of the most powerful parts of Hannah's story: despite years of confusion and dismissal, she continued trusting her own observations enough to keep investigating. Mindset, Spirituality, and Asking for Help Hannah also describes a major shift in her mindset and spirituality. For much of her life, she had been fiercely independent and believed that she could solve any problem herself. At her sickest, that changed. Hannah remembers lying in a dark room, sometimes barely able to lift her head, and finally looking outside and simply asking for help. She describes this as a turning point. A housemate later gave her a book about the Law of Attraction and introduced her to meditation. Hannah says these ideas reawakened something she remembered from childhood: a strong belief that mindset, intention, and action could help shape the direction of her life. She began meditating regularly and eventually built up to approximately 45-minute sessions. Whether listeners share Hannah's spiritual framework or not, the interview makes clear that hope and belief became important psychological resources during a period when her physical circumstances gave her very little reason to feel optimistic. Trauma, NLP, and Emotional Healing Hannah's recovery eventually expanded into emotional and trauma-focused work. She describes exploring Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP, after reflecting on experiences from earlier in her life. One particularly powerful realization involved her premature birth. Hannah was born approximately three months early and spent significant time in an incubator, separated from her mother. During a later meditation experience, Hannah says she suddenly connected that early experience of illness and isolation with what she was experiencing as an adult. She later participated in NLP-based work that involved revisiting and reframing those experiences. Toward the end of her recovery, Hannah also explored Faster EFT, combining tapping and other emotional-processing techniques. She says she realized that even after becoming physically healthier, she had developed significant fear about leaving her home and becoming ill again. After working through some of those fears and other emotional experiences, she felt more capable of re-entering normal life. For Hannah, physical recovery, emotional recovery, mindset, spirituality, and lifestyle became deeply interconnected parts of the same journey. From Bedbound to What Hannah Describes as Fully Recovered Hannah says she eventually went from being largely bedbound to symptom-free over approximately 11 months. She attributes that change not to one single intervention, but to the sequencing and combination of approaches she personally used. She emphasizes reducing inflammation and other stressors first, then gradually addressing the infections and other issues she believed were affecting her. Her experience shaped one of the central messages she now shares with other Lyme patients: recovery does not necessarily have to happen through the most aggressive approach available. She encourages people to work with knowledgeable practitioners, move carefully, and allow the body time to recover. As she says during the interview, she believes there is value in "slow, steady, gentle" healing, while also emphasizing the importance of appropriate medical supervision. Why Hannah Wrote My Lyme Success Story Once Hannah had recovered, she began organizing everything she had documented during her illness. Her background made that process unusually natural. Hannah had experience in graphic design, photography, writing, editing, and copywriting. She had also meticulously recorded what she tried during her illness—partly because she wanted a record in case she ever became sick again. Eventually, people began encouraging her to write a book. That became Hannah Green: My Lyme Success Story. Hannah says she wrote the book for several reasons: To document what happened to her To explain her experience to family members in England who had been thousands of miles away during the worst of her illness To process the trauma of what she had been through To organize the research and strategies she had collected To help other Lyme patients who might find value in her experience The book includes Hannah's story, the approaches she personally tried, her research, and practical resources including meal plans, shopping lists, checklists, and educational information intended to help patients and families better understand Lyme disease. Learn more about Hannah, her book, and her resources on her website: Hannah Green: My Lyme Success Story Meeting Hannah at the Lyme Warrior 10th Anniversary Gala This Tick Boot Camp interview began with an in-person connection. Hannah traveled from England to attend the Lyme Warrior 10th Anniversary Gala on May 9, 2026, at Saybrook Point Resort & Marina in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. Tick Boot Camp partnered with Lyme Warrior to help photograph, document, and amplify the event. The gala brought together Lyme patients, advocates, researchers, clinicians, authors, families, and supporters for a night focused on research, advocacy, humor, music, community, and hope. Hannah attended alongside other members of the Lyme community who traveled from England, including Kirstie Haysman, Ms Great Britain 2026. The night included appearances from leading Lyme voices including Dr. Eva Sapi, Dr. Monica Embers, Dr. Richard Horowitz, Dr. Myriah Hinchey, Nicole Bell, Jesse Ruben, and many other advocates and community leaders. Read Tick Boot Camp's full coverage of the event. A Lyme Story Across Three Continents Hannah's Lyme journey crosses three continents. She grew up in England. She believes her Lyme exposure may have occurred while working with horses in West Virginia in the United States. Her earliest symptoms emerged after returning to England. Her illness eventually became severely disabling. And in Australia, Hannah finally received the Lyme diagnosis that gave her a framework for understanding what had happened. Australia also became the place where she developed the personal recovery strategy she later documented in My Lyme Success Story. Hannah eventually returned to England in 2019 to spend more time with family. Her international experience underscores an important reality: Lyme disease does not respect borders, and gaps in tick awareness, diagnosis, and treatment can follow patients across healthcare systems. What You'll Learn in This Episode In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, Hannah Green discusses: Growing up in England surrounded by horses and the outdoors Why she knew almost nothing about ticks despite extensive equestrian experience Traveling alone to America as a shy 19-year-old Working as a horse-riding counselor at a West Virginia summer camp Removing engorged ticks from horses without understanding the possible human health risk The Lyme disease pamphlet she remembers seeing at camp The red ring on her leg that she was told was probably a spider bite Why she now believes her Lyme exposure may have occurred in West Virginia Developing unusual knee problems after returning to England Years of migrating joint and back symptoms Running the London Marathon despite worsening knee problems The viral illness after which her health dramatically deteriorated Digestive issues, insomnia, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, rage, and memory problems Trying to continue working while becoming progressively sicker Repeated medical visits that failed to explain her illness Moving to Australia and eventually becoming largely bedbound How another horse rider helped connect her with the doctor who diagnosed Lyme disease Borrelia and the co-infections discussed during her journey Her experience with PCR testing, bioresonance, and autonomic response testing Why she declined the multi-antibiotic protocol initially proposed to her The three months she spent researching treatment approaches around the world Her staged approach to lifestyle, diet, gut health, and other interventions The low-inflammatory Paleo-style diet she says produced an early improvement Her use of herbs, binders, naturopathic care, and bioresonance Her homemade "Lyme-busting drink" Creating an environment dedicated to healing Learning to trust her intuition Meditation, spirituality, and asking for help Trauma work, NLP, and Faster EFT The fear of leaving home even after her physical health improved Why she believes mindset is critical to recovery Why she wrote My Lyme Success Story Her advice for people newly diagnosed with Lyme disease Why she believes patients should not give up on the possibility of healing Hannah's Advice for Someone Newly Diagnosed With Lyme Disease Near the end of the conversation, Hannah shares several lessons she wishes more people understood early in their Lyme journey. First, she encourages people not to panic. She believes a recovery mindset matters and that people benefit from knowing that others have gotten better. Second, she recommends finding a practitioner you genuinely trust and who looks at the person as a whole rather than focusing on only one symptom. Third, she emphasizes consistency and persistence rather than continually jumping from one protocol to another. And finally, Hannah advocates for a gentler approach when appropriate, saying that the body may need time and a sense of safety in order to recover. Her advice reflects her own experience rather than a universal medical prescription, but the underlying message is powerful: stay engaged, keep learning, work with qualified support, and do not surrender hope. Why Hannah Green's Lyme Success Story Matters Hannah's story is not presented as a universal Lyme disease treatment protocol. It is one person's experience of becoming severely ill, searching for answers across multiple countries, experimenting with approaches that felt appropriate for her circumstances, and eventually reaching a level of health that inspired her to describe her journey as a Lyme success story. Her experience reinforces several important messages for the Lyme community: Tick education matters before a bite ever happens. Not everyone remembers finding an attached tick. An expanding red rash deserves careful medical evaluation. Lyme symptoms can evolve and involve multiple body systems. Migrating joint symptoms can be an important part of a patient's history. People with unexplained chronic symptoms deserve to be heard. Recovery journeys can be highly individualized. Emotional and psychological support can coexist with treatment of physical illness. Community can help replace the isolation that so often accompanies chronic illness. Hope matters. Healing is possible. Final Takeaway Hannah Green's Lyme disease journey began long before she knew she was on one. A young woman from England traveled to America to teach horseback riding, encountered ticks for the first time, developed a mysterious red ring that was dismissed as a spider bite, and returned home feeling healthy. Then the clues slowly appeared. First her knees. Then other joints. Then her back. Eventually, after another illness years later, her health deteriorated dramatically. What followed was a long search for an explanation that eventually took Hannah across the world and into an intense process of research, experimentation, self-advocacy, emotional healing, and recovery. Today, she has transformed that experience into My Lyme Success Story in the hope that what she learned can help others ask better questions and feel less alone. Her exact path will not be everyone's path, and the approaches Hannah believes helped her should not be interpreted as medical advice or a universal treatment plan. But the larger message of her story belongs to the entire Lyme community: keep asking questions, keep learning, find people who take your experience seriously, and do not give up on the possibility of healing.

Herbalists, want to learn the native plant medicine of your region? I'm teaching my framework for building regional plant knowledge in an upcoming LIVE class, From 20 Herbs to Infinite Medicine, on September 15, 16, and 18.

There's something almost impossible to ignore about bee balm (Monarda spp.). Its flowers burst open like fireworks, its aroma is unmistakably spicy, and when you taste it, you can feel its warmth almost immediately. But this is where bee balm gets especially interesting: despite its intense hotness, it can be an excellent herb for actually dispersing heat.In this episode, Ashley Elenbaas and I explore this beautiful contradiction and the many ways it shows up in bee balm's medicine. We talk about why she keeps dried bee balm right alongside her cooking spices, how a late-night burn led her to reach for this plant, and why she considers small, regular amounts of bee balm to be a great way to support a nervous system that's prone to overwhelm.Ashley also shares her recipe for Bee Balm Honey, a super simple (and delicious!) way to bring bee balm's spiciness into your own kitchen. Download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here!By the end of this episode, you'll know:► The clues to bee balm's medicine that are hidden in its dragon-shaped flowers► Why bee balm is particularly suited for situations where you need to release excess heat (whether that means fevers, burns, tension, or even those “big feelings” that can build up!)► What “diffusive” means in herbal energetics—and what makes bee balm an amazing herb for understanding it► Six herbal preparations for working with bee balm, from tea to culinary use and more!► How Ashley works with bee balm as an aromatic ally for sleep► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Ashley Elenbaas, M.Sc., RH (AHG), is a clinical herbalist, educator, and founder of Sky House Herb School. With over 20 years of experience teaching herbal medicine, yoga, and the healing arts, she weaves together traditional Western herbalism, plant energetics, nature-based spirituality, and community care. Ashley is passionate about helping people deepen their relationship with medicinal plants while cultivating thoughtful, heart centered practice. She teaches online and in person, hosts the Sky House Herbs YouTube channel, and lives in Minnesota with her family.Some plants ask us to slow down and listen. Bee balm practically grabs us by the shoulders and says, “Pay attention!” I hope this conversation inspires you to spend some time with this fiery, exuberant plant and discover its many gifts for yourself.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

TEACHBACK TUESDAY: AN INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR KATHY ASHLEY When Kathy Ashley heart about "AI," those letters brought two different words to her mind. Not "artificial intelligence," but Arrogance and Ignorance. This is the kind of AI that leads to an artificial inflation of self, and it's hazardous to our spiritual health. Arrogance is pride on steroids. When you mix arrogance with ignorance, this creates a puffed up conceit that is deceptive. We can become our own worst enemies when we're infected with the dynamic duo of arrogance and ignorance. The antidote to this infection is God's Word. He has the prescription for healing and recovery. "The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate."

Hibiscus is tart, cooling, beautiful—and so much more than just a refreshing summer drink.Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) may be best known as the star ingredient in the tart, ruby-red beverage called jamaica or sorrel, but there is so much more to this beautiful plant! In this episode, Rebecca Fils-Aimé takes us beyond the familiar drink to explore hibiscus as food, medicine, and cultural tradition. Drawing on her Haitian heritage as well as her own herbal studies, Rebecca shares why she loves hibiscus for its cooling, soothing, mucilaginous qualities, how she works with it for cardiovascular and respiratory support, and so many ways to work with the flowers (well, the calyxes to be exact!) and leaves in both the kitchen and the apothecary.Rebecca also shares her recipe for Sorrel Cough Syrup, a simple combination of hibiscus and warming Caribbean spices designed to soothe that irritating, dry cough. (Or if you don't have a cough, just add it to sparkling water for a tasty, refreshing treat!) You can download your beautifully illustrated copy here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Why hibiscus is particularly beneficial for dry, irritated respiratory tissues► Several ways to weave hibiscus into your diet—both sweet and savory!► What makes hibiscus so supportive for the heart and cardiovascular system► How this gorgeous flower became such an integral part of Caribbean culture► Surprising ways to include hibiscus in your beauty routine► …and so many more ways to work with hibiscus beyond just a pretty pink drink!For those of you who don't know her, Rebecca Fils-Aimè is a community herbalist, public health practitioner, and health and wellness coach whose practice lies at the intersection of food, kitchen remedies for health, and Black culinary herbalism history. Through her herbalism practice and research, she shares traditions from Black and Indigenous Caribbean people to highlight their contributions to herbalism and food history. Her practice is also guided by the seasons, her Haitian culture, and her Southeastern upbringing. She has a passion for educating communities about herbs as preventative medicine, herbs as self-care, and herbs in food as an accessible way to engage in herbalism.Hibiscus is one of those plants that reminds us that food and medicine don't have to be separate. Sometimes the most nourishing herbal allies are the ones we already know and love—and sometimes, they're hiding in a tall glass of ruby-red refreshment, so perfect on a hot summer day.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?
