Sleeping Pills and Potions - What works and what doesn't

 You're at the end of your rope, so you head to the pharmacy for the help you so desperately need to sleep. But wait, you aren't sure if it's safe, if it works, and if there's a better way.  Stay tuned to learn about the benefits, side effects, and risk of sleep aids.   I'm Dr.Vickie Petz Kasper. If you're ready to take control of your health, you're in the right  place. I'll give you practical steps to start your own journey toward better health because healthy looks great on you.  This is episode 159, Sleeping Pills and Potions. What works and what doesn't. You know that poor sleep is associated with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, immune dysfunction, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, fatigue, irritability, and good grief, I could go on and on. So, taking something to help you sleep sounds like a good idea, right?  Today, we'll discuss what you need to know before you go and get a prescription, supplement, or over the counter sleeping aid. Look, we have to sleep. Our very lives and health depend on it. But the struggle is real. Insomnia is one of the most common symptoms people go to the doctor or health care provider for treatment.   And what if I told you that good sleep is possible without medications? Well, it is. In fact, the first line treatment recommended to treat insomnia is not medication. The standard recommendation for managing insomnia is to eliminate things that go bump in the night and keep you awake.  Or, to treat underlying diseases that disrupt sleep. It's not recommended to start with behavioral therapy or medications until these other things are maximized. Ha! But good luck with that. If you go to your primary care provider and you don't get a prescription, I'll buy you a cup of coffee and we can both stay awake.  And, if you think you need to see a specialist, then you'll probably get to spend the night in a sleep lab hotel hooked up to a bunch of wires and you may get answers, like, a CPAP, and that's important if you have sleep apnea, but if not, you might not even hear from them. No wonder you're looking for a good solution to sleep.  And though medications are not the first line recommendation, that is the topic of today's episode. So let's get to it. We're going to start with prescription medications, then we'll talk about over the counter medications and wrap up with supplements.  There are three classes of drugs approved to treat insomnia. Benzodiazepine receptor agonist, histamine receptor antagonist, and melatonin receptor agonist. Listening to all that medical jargon may be sufficient to put you to sleep. But wait, let me explain. You'll understand more after we go to mini medical school today and learn about receptors.  These are made up of proteins and they receive chemical signals that produce a response.  Let me give you this analogy. You've got a lamp sitting on an end table, but it's not plugged in, so there's no light. And when you stick those two prongs into the socket, behold, now you can sit and read. And that's kind of how a receptor works. The plug fits into the plug in. So an agonist is like the plug. It fits. It turns it on. It lets the electricity flow.  But, if you had a toddler in the house, you might want to plug in one of those little plastic things so he doesn't stick a butter knife in there and get shocked. So that would be an antagonist.  Okay, now wake up and pay attention. We've got three classes of drugs to look at. Benzo receptor agonist and melatonin agonist. That plug in and histamine receptor antagonist that block the plugin. And then there's another category called other. We'll just call that the clapper, you know, clap, clap. And the light comes on, clap, clap, and the light goes off.  There are eight drugs in the benzodiazepine receptor agonist family. And the first five are about my age, you know, born in the 60s. They are Estazolam, which is Prosom, Florazepam, which is Dalmane, Quamazepam, which is Doral, Temazepam, which is Restoril and Triazolam, which is Halcion. Now the millennials aren't benzos, but they're still benzo receptor agonist. And you know, this generation got way more complicated spelling their kids' names, so I'm probably gonna have to sound them out like a first grade teacher on the first day of school.  Eszopiclone is Lunesta, Zaleplon is Sonata. Zolpidem is Ambien.  Those older drugs are crankier and cause more dependence although Restoril is the nicest in the category. There are other benzos which are technically prescribed for anxiety and  some people do use them to help them sleep. Do they work? Here's what the data says for the old guys. They help you fall asleep faster. A whole whopping 10 minutes faster. And they increase total sleep time by half an hour to an hour. That's it.  What about risk? Well, they make you sleepy, which is kind of the point, but also they can make you dizzy, which can make you fall if you get up and go to the bathroom during the night. And if you mix them with opioids, the reaction can be fatal.   Now, the younger guys function about as well as the older ones, but they have shorter half lives, so their effects don't wear out their welcome so much with daytime grogginess. And they aren't so deadly when socializing with opioids. But rarely, they do some bizarre things like compel you to shop or gamble in the middle of the night. All for 10 minutes faster to go to sleep and half hour to an hour longer sleeping.  Okay, clap on, clap off, let's talk about the other drugs.  These are dual orexin receptor antagonists.  Affectionately known as D O R A or Dora.  The first one is Suvarexant, which is called Belsomra. The next one is Derodorexant, which sounds a lot like deodorant to me, and that's exactly what I'm gonna call it because the brand name is Quviviq. And finally, there is Limboxerant, which has a really cool brand name, Dayvigo.  What? You've never heard of any of these? Well, that's probably because they're slightly less effective than the other drugs. They help you go to sleep seven minutes faster. But the main side effect is sleepiness, and people generally say they slept better. The next topic in pharmacology class in mini medical school is the histamine antagonist. You know, the little plastic thing that goes in the wall socket so your toddler doesn't.  Doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant that functions this way, and even in low doses it causes the desirable effect of drowsiness. So, it's approved for the treatment of drowsiness deficit.  Unfortunately, there are some drugs it doesn't play nice with. But, it does increase sleep time by Drum roll please! 25 to 30 minutes. Womp, womp, womp. And, it helps people stay asleep toward the end of the sleep cycle.    And I think this underscores why one size does not fit all and prescriptions should be customized for individual needs.  The last class of drugs approved for the treatment of insomnia makes a lot of sense.  Ramelteon is a melatonin receptor agonist and the brand name Rosarem, get it? REM, R E M, as in rapid eye movement sleep. It's got a good mechanism of action, a good name. Problem is, it doesn't work any better than placebo. So, you can skip the potential for fatigue, nausea, and worsening of liver disease and just take a sugar pill.  So, am I saying it doesn't work at all? Of course not. Why would it be approved if it didn't work? Well, it's not in Europe, but it does work to lengthen sleep time by a grand total of seven minutes. And I don't know about you, but it's going to take more than seven minutes to get rid of the bags under these eyes.  So that's the gamut of drugs approved for the treatment of insomnia in the United States. But wait, there's more. Just because the FDA doesn't approve something for a particular indication, that doesn't mean that doctors can't prescribe it. And sometimes, off label prescribing is a really good thing, though it's a set up for a knock down, drag out fight with your insurance company for coverage. In addition to using the antidepressant Doxepin, many doctors prescribe other antidepressants for sleep. Things like Amitriptyline and Trazodone, even though the American Academy of Sleep Medicine advises against it because of side effects and no data showing that it works. Now, I always recommend that you consult with your health care provider regarding your medications. Always, always, always.  But, I also recommend that they consult with up to date society recommendations and guidelines. That's just fair. And while they're at it, they should look at the potential adverse reactions. So, now maybe you've decided to skip the copay and just help yourself to the sleep aid aisle of the pharmacy. You could even ask the pharmacist to guide you, and I recommend that. There are two over the counter medications approved to treat insomnia. They are diphenhydramine, commonly known as Benadryl, and doxalamine, commonly known as Unisom. Side note, over the counter medications are regulated  FDA, And both of these drugs are histamine blockers. Therefore, all of the fun side effects that come with that, like dry mouth, GI distress, dizziness, trouble emptying your bladder, and of course, sedation, which is the desired side effect. These medications are often combined with things like Advil or Tylenol with an added P. M. at the end, so you know what's in store for you. And here's what's in store for diphenhydramine. 8 less minutes to fall asleep and 12 more minutes of sleep. And for doxylamine, there's no data available. That's it. That's what we've got. So, maybe now you've decided just to take matters into your own hands and look for a supplement. And because you've listened to my previous podcast episode about dementia, you're gonna skip right over the Prevagen, right? Promise me. Now, in the supplement section, you're going to walk in understanding that claims, concentrations, and ingredients are not guaranteed. They're not regulated. They are, generally speaking, considered safe and ineffective. You heard that right. Safe. And ineffective. But what about melatonin? You swear it works, but does it?  Maybe. It is sedating in about 10 percent of people and in everyone else, it shifts the sleep phase. So, there is a place for that such as jet lag, and I have an episode on jet lag in the show notes.  But even though it may help you drift off to sleep, it probably isn't going to help you stay asleep. The half life is less than an hour, and in some people it causes stomach cramps, irritability, and even depression. It's best used in combination with other things that regulate your circadian rhythm. More to come on that. But a big one is light. And so this probably would be a great time to tell you about some exciting news I have for you. I have an upcoming series of live webinars to talk about six hidden things that keep you tossing and turning at night.   And soon you'll have access to an online course called Unlock the Secret to Sleep, your personal sleep solution. I have been working so hard on this for so long that I cannot wait to share it with you.  I want to help you reset your sleep and get your Z's. Now there are other supplements labeled as sleep aids and most of them again are safe and probably not effective. The exceptions on safety are kava and valerian root. Both of those have been associated with liver damage. Now it's rare, but it's very serious. Other things you might find on this aisle are chamomile, Glycine, Gryphonia, Hops,  , Kava, L theanine, Lavender, , Passionflower, Nightshade, Skullcap, Strymonium, Tryptophan, , and Wild Jujube Seeds.  They're all equally effective and work every bit as well as a sugar pill, but hey, sugar pills can have powerful placebo effects. And one last thing I want to mention, and that is cannabis. Bottom line is there's not enough research to say one way or another, whether it works. It does have the potential for addiction and it's not legal everywhere. So there's that.  But also it's a problem that if you quit, you'll likely experience sleep disturbances that can last for several months.     The bottom line is, I want you to know that you shouldn't have to choose between serious health consequences of poor sleep and the side effects and risk of sleeping pills and potions.  If you suffer from insomnia, I do encourage you not to stop any medications without medical supervision and to have an honest conversation with your doctor. And if they want access to my resources, just give them my email address. I'm happy to share and they're 100 percent legit, but if good sleep eludes you, I want you to know while there's no magic pill for perfect sleep, there is a proven path to natural, restorative rest that can transform your life. Imagine waking up energized, focused, and ready to tackle your day without relying on sleeping pills or potions.  Are you tired of tossing and turning at night?

Join me on March 3rd or March 5th to discover how to fall asleep naturally. and wake up refreshed, practical strategies to boost your energy and mental clarity, and solutions to common sleep challenges that keep you awake at night.  Plus you'll get a chance to ask your most pressing sleep questions during a live Q& A session.

Creativity is one of those anchors-to-windward in unsettled and worrisome times. So is a hands-on, creative project – with bonus points for working with organic materials (natural fibers, clay, or – flowers)! Just in time for Valentine's Day, and all the spring events cascading from there in the coming months, we're joined this week by a woman who has artistry, creativity, and hands-on project inspiration in spades to share with us – Passionflower Sue is our guest – and her work might be the end of January inspiration and gift to yourself you didn't know you needed – but I knew. Passionflower Sue, aka Sue McLeary, is an artist. Very specifically an artist with flowers, and she thinks you probably are too. Whether you're a professional florist, a friend helping friends with flowers, a parent helping a child (and all their friends) with their corsages and boutonnieres, or a gardener looking to have fun with flowers for your table or your hair, you're going to enjoy meeting Sue in conversation this week. With a long career in floristry, from designing to event management, to sustainable floristry advocacy and lots of teaching, Sue believes that floristry is an art form, and those of us engaged in it are artists! She “aims to offer immediately useful and relevant educational information that equips and empowers florists- allowing them to express their creativity and make what they crave to see.” She believes (and I am with her): “When we harness our creativity, we create more interesting, artful work that fills us and lifts us.” Her goal is to empower the floristry artist. And it's her “passion to help push floristry forward!” Having had the great pleasure of attending events and learning from Sue – it is my even greater pleasure to welcome her to Cultivating Place this week. Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud and iTunes.

Tim Kennelty and Jean Thomas join us once again for the third and final episode of The Cover Up Retrospective, where we've grouped some previously aired short segments together for easier access. In the first segment, Morning Glories are a featured annual vine, but this category also extends to gourd and mini-pumpkin vines, scarlet running beans, and more. Sedums, including Hens and Chicks, are the featured ground covers (and succulents) in this episode. These herbaceous perennials, commonly known as stonecrops, are great options for rock gardens and other areas that are drought prone. Both of these vines and ground covers are low maintenance and relatively easy to grow. The second segment discusses the benefits of sedges, bearberry, and trailing arbutus as ground covers and vines that support pollinators and provide shelter for insects and birds. Sedges are a good alternative for a ‘native' lawn. With over 2000 species, mostly low-growing, and many ever green, they can also be used as a living mulch. Bearberry is a great option to plant under oak or pine trees as it thrives in partial to full shade environments. The name, Trailing Arbutus (a.k.a. Mayflower and Plymouth Mayflower), is derives from the fact that the flowers of this plant were the first to greet the pilgrims after their first winter. It is a native perennial subshrub that forms a creeping mat, usually four to size inches high. The third segment focuses on flowering vines. Passionflower is a beautiful climbing vine with white and purple or blue flowers. There are now hardier varieties that can survive in zone 5. While it blooms from midsummer to early fall, each flower only lasts about one day. The Kiwi vine is another interesting option that can grow up to 33 feet long and has some varieties that are hardy to zone 4. A native of China, it has green heart shaped leaves that are spirally arranged on the stem and a flower that has a slight resemblance to the kiwi bird. Both passionflower and kiwi vine can be fragrant additions to your garden if you can provide the appropriate support for them to climb.

88. Plant Connection Through Observation: Cheryl Smith on Self Care with Herbs

During this episode I chat and laugh with Cheryl Smith, a medicinal herb farmer and artisan distiller who balances a busy corporate role with a passion for regenerative agriculture and soil health. With a dedication to leaning into nature and country, Cheryl brings a unique perspective to the intersection of business and environmental holding. Growing up in the city, Cheryl always noticed the Dandelions popping up in the cracks of the pavement, but it wasn't until she moved onto the land and started observing herbs through the seasons that a deeper connection was formed. A spark was lit and Cheryl's thirst for knowledge inspired her to begin studying herbal medicine, learning how to grow, harvest and make medicines.  Cheryl and her husband Mike, an agronomist, are passionate about soil health and from very early on, Cheryl has been fascinated by the way the constituents of the herbs reflect the health of the soil. Cheryl and Mike hold the country at Solum on stunning Yaegl land, which provides ample opportunities for the profound lessons that Cheryl has discovered can be learnt through observation- watching, listening and absorbing is the medicine…an invitation to pause and reflect. Like many of us, Cheryl has always prioritised others first, and it wasn't until she experienced the illness that followed a tick bite that she was forced to slow down and listen to her body. It was at this time that herbs became hugely supportive and that self care became non negotiable.  Our discussion of self care dives into the dynamics of how we're raised and the patterns that form as a result of witnessing the way others look after themselves when we're young- deep impressions that can be difficult to shift.  Cheryl tells a beautiful story of Passionflower and her tendrils that reach out and envelop us during times of trauma and burn out. Going deep with a single herb, forming strong relationships and a knowing and understanding of a herb on many levels is a great joy of Cheryl's. She credits the work of Heidi Wedd for inspiring this way of working and interacting with plants.  Towards the end of our chat, we hear Cheryl share her deep connection with Withania- a root medicine that is currently offering her an invitation to observe and a doorway to re-connecting with a lifelong passion for plant medicine.  **CONNECT WITH CHERYL** https://www.instagram.com/solumfarm/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/SolumFarm/ **CONNECT WITH JESS** Book an appointment: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17239954 Buy handmade herbal products: https://jessbosscha-naturopath.square.site/ Join the waitlist for upcoming workshops and courses: https://linktr.ee/jessbosscha_naturopath **THE ELDER TREE TROVE PATREON COMMUNITY** You can join our Patreon ⁠⁠here⁠⁠ and gain a deeper connection to our podcast.

Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles and is typically confirmed 12 months after your last period. During this time, The ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, which can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, sleep issues, weight gain and more. While nutrition and lifestyle is huge for managing these symptoms, here are the supplements I recommend to support menopause changes.  1. Menopause Balance Tincture This specially formulated tincture is designed to alleviate common menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings. It contains: Black Cohosh: Known for its ability to reduce hot flashes and night sweats. Sage: Helps in managing excessive sweating. Holy Basil: Supports mood stability. Motherwort, Red Clover, Hops, Lemon Balm, Passionflower, Lavender, Valerian: A blend of herbs that support hormonal balance and reduce stress. 2. Adrenal Balance Tincture Menopause can alter how your body handles stress. The Adrenal Balance Tincture helps manage this by supporting your adrenal glands. Key ingredients include: Adaptogenic Herbs: Such as ashwagandha and rhodiola, which help the body adapt to stress. 3. Metabo Boost Tincture This tincture aids in blood sugar regulation, which is crucial during menopause as hormonal changes can affect how your body processes sugar. The tincture includes: Chromium and Berberine: To support healthy blood sugar levels. 4. Sleep Support Tincture Hormonal changes can disrupt sleep patterns. This tincture, containing herbs like hops, lemon balm, passionflower, valerian, and chamomile, can help improve sleep quality without relying on melatonin. 5. Grass-Fed Beef Liver Supplement Code: Drbeth Rich in iron and other vital nutrients, this supplement helps maintain overall nutrient levels, which can be challenging during menopause due to changes in nutrient absorption and utilization. 6. NutriDyn Inflam-Eze Plus   Menopause often brings increased inflammation, leading to aches and pains. InflamEase, which includes ginger powder, curcumin, and boswellia, can help manage inflammation and improve joint health. 7. NutriDyn Immune Resilience   Supporting your immune system is another big one in menopause. This supplement, with ingredients like American ginseng, turmeric, elderberry, EGCG, and quercetin, helps bolster your body's defenses and manage histamine responses. 8. Creatine and BCAAs Creatine Supplements: To support muscle strength and recovery. https://nutridyn.com/dynamic-performance-drink?ref=113022 Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs): To aid muscle recovery and reduce soreness after workouts. Taking BCAAs immediately after exercise can help your body rebuild muscle tissue more efficiently.  https://nutridyn.com/dynamic-bcaa-drink?ref=113022 Menopause is a huge hormone transition, but the symptoms don't have to run your life! As with all supplements and medications, it is best to test your hormone levels to find the right combination for your individual needs.

Elevation Recovery: Addiction Recovery Strategies for Opioid, Alcohol, Pills, & Other Substance Addictions

SO MANY PEOPLE need to know about "The Relationship Between Low GABA and Alcohol Addiction." It's a vicious relationship where each disorder can cause and affect the other. For example, someone with a GABA bankruptcy in their brain might have intense cravings for red wine every evening after work and then become alcohol-addicted after a few months of habitual drinking… … or someone with alcohol dependence develops a GABA bankruptcy from repeated consumption of alcohol (in contrast, their natural GABA levels were optimal before addiction). After learning about this notorious accord between two devastating disorders and how to boost GABA naturally, you'll be well on your way to restoring your mind/body health and elevating your GABA to optimal levels. This episode is an abridged version of the full-length article on Fit Recovery, which has the same title. Here are the topics of this episode: What is GABA? GABA Deficiency Symptoms What's the Relationship Between Alcohol and GABA? How Does GABA Deficiency Manifest? 9 Proven Ways to Optimize Your GABA Levels 1) Foods and Drinks (GABA-Building Diet) 2) L-Theanine 3) Chamomile 4) Passionflower 5) Lemon Balm 6) Kava 7) Valerian 8) Supplements 9) Natural Therapies Show Notes Page>>

In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, I talk about a very special herb called Passionflower. This is one of my favorite herbs to help me rest with its relaxing properties. If you haven't tried this yet, I go in-depth in this episode so you can learn more about it and consider incorporating it into the lives of your clients to support them if they have insomnia or sleep problems. Listen to the episode to learn more.IN THIS EPISODE:Calming Properties and Sleep AidPassionflower is known for its sedative-like properties and has been traditionally used for insomnia, supporting those who struggle with both falling asleep and staying asleep, as well as aids in calming down the nervous system, and is particularly effective in addressing a racing mind that interferes with sleep. Neurotransmitter RegulationPassion Flower contains bioactive compounds like the flavonoid Chrysin, which acts as an anxiolytic by affecting GABA receptors. GABA is crucial for calming the mind especially in cases where individuals have issues with GABA down-regulation. It is also adept at stimulating serotonin levels, which provides a calming effect and is good for those dealing with anxiety and mood disorders.Additional Health BenefitsLinalool, a compound found in lavender, is also found in Passionflower. This possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which makes it beneficial for conditions related to inflammation and oxidative stress such as cardiovascular diseases. It also has a tonifying effect on the nervous system in general, helping to relax muscles and alleviate pain and spasms. Note that this is not a cure but Passionflower may also be considered for those with tendencies toward epileptic seizures and a supportive remedy for those with autoimmune diseases that can be considered in combination with other tools and remedies.Important ReInvent Healthcare Links Get our free Functional Food Guide to learn more about foods and herbs to support clients on healing For an in depth study of herbs and medicinal mushrooms, check out “Practical Herbal Therapeutics”Access Additional Resources for Practitioners ready to improve clinical outcomes through our Nutritional Endocrinology Practitioner Training.

The transition of heading back to school can be tricky for kids and parents alike. As summer winds down, I discuss the importance of sleep for kids and their overall physical and emotional health, focusing on lifestyle tips and tricks and herbs to help along the way. I share my personal journey as a homeschooling parent and provide actionable advice on adjusting bedtime schedules and creating a calming evening routine. I recommend engaging with natural light in the morning and minimizing screen time in the evening to support a healthy sleep pattern.Some of my favorite herbs to include this type of year are nervine herbs, which act on the nervous system, especially chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, passionflower, California Poppy, and hops. I share practical and creative ways to incorporate these herbs into our lives, such as infusing them into honey, creating soothing teas, and making calming herbal popsicles for kids. I invite you all to consider these herbs as allies in establishing comforting, sleep-promoting routines for both children and adults as they transition into the school year.

Next, Jean Thomas and Tim Kennelty are back with The Cover Up, with a focus on flowering vines. Passionflower is a beautiful climbing vine with white and purple or blue flowers. There are now hardier varieties that can survive in zone 5. While it blooms from midsummer to early fall, each flower only lasts about one day. The Kiwi vine is another interesting option that can grow up to 33 feet long and has some varieties that are hardy to zone 4. A native of China, it has green heart shaped leaves that are spirally arranged on the stem and a flower that has a slight resemblance to the kiwi bird. Both passionflower and kiwi vine can be fragrant additions to your garden if you can provide the appropriate support for them to climb. Finally, Devon Russ debunks some myths about deer repellents in Hits and Myths. As many gardeners know, deer damage can be a significant problem, and there are many so-called remedies out there. Devon explores the effectiveness of strong-smelling soap and concludes that it's not a magic bullet. Instead, she recommends using deer repellents that contain eggs or creating a simple homemade egg and water spray. She also suggests that gardeners might want to consider using a protective cage or fence. So, if you want to protect your garden from deer damage and learn the truth about deer repellents, you won't want to miss this segment! So, whether you're a seasoned gardener or just love nature, this episode of Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley is packed with useful information and fascinating stories that are sure to entertain and educate.

A seaweed and a vine-flower, how are they alike? We started out this episode feeling like these two herbs were completely different from one another. By the time we got to the end, though, we found a unifying quality or two.Dulse, whose Latin name is Palmaria palmata, is our favorite choice for those who are new to seaweeds. It has a mild flavor, isn't too ‘fishy' or too ‘slimy'. It may not exactly be “bacon of the sea”, but it sure does add a nice salty & umami flavor to dishes! Dulse is also a great provider of minerals (but not too much iodine, so don't worry). Its nourishing qualities support us in a very grounded way, at the mineral levels of bone, muscle, and nerve health. In archetypal terms, it is an “earth of water” herb.Passiflora incarnata is the botanical name for passionflower. This is an astonishingly beautiful flower – make a web search to check out some photos, you'll see what we mean. (Oh, and don't neglect ‘passionflower UV light' as a search term: see what it looks like to bees!) It's an excellent plant to sit with for meditation – and it can help you move into a more meditative state of mind, too. Famously helpful in sleep formulae, passionflower helps rein in the spinning, anxous mind, and brings it inward and downward. If you're comfortable with elemental language, it might make sense to look at this herb as embodying the “earth of air.”If you're having trouble sleeping, if anxiety is keeping you up at night, we've got a plan for that. Our short course, Holistic Help for Better Sleep, teaches you key strategies for lengthening and deepening your rest each night. You'll also meet our favorite herbs to help with sleep disturbances and insomnia, and how to choose the right herbs for your own personal sleep needs.

Summary Episode 25: Jon Gomm is a singer songwriter considered to be one of the world's true virtuoso guitarists possessing a unique style most elite musicians consider revolutionary. Jon was born and continues to live in the North of England. His songs are driven by his use of one acoustic guitar to create drum sounds, basslines and twisting melodies all at the same time with no external effects. The emphasis remains on his soulful vocals and songwriting with his original material influenced by everything from Robert Johnson to Radiohead. His live shows combine deeply personal performances allied with a natural wit, with a once seen, never forgotten two-handed guitar style, both physical and complex, producing sounds people can barely believe are coming from a humble acoustic guitar. https://vimeo.com/678255603 (Timestamps are for audio version of the podcast.) 00:25 Introducing Jon Gomm 04:07 Jon recalls the gig with Adam 05:18 Graceland by Paul Simon - one of Jon's earliest music inspirations 07:00 The Jeff Beck Influence 07:25 John describes his early frustration with electric 19:09 Jon talks about playing covers 20:51 Jon talks about the current pop music paradigm & asks should one compose? 25:34 Musical Segment: Jon plays his own composition "Passionflower" 32:20 Jon talks about his approach with unconventional tunings, techniques and percussion 33:34 His excitement with novel techniques - slide, flamenco percussion 34:13 Jon talks about the "Bukka White" style 34:57 Jon talks about playing electric guitar in bands at 13 35:29 Jon discovers Laurence Juber and Michael 41:31 Jon talks about gigging as a working country, metal and jazz player 43:34 How Jon is currently connecting with music emotionally 46:24 His new album which he describes as "quite emotionally intense" 52:59 Jon talks about doing music arrangements 1:02:46 Jon's best advice for every guitar player! 1:08:24 Jon's "last words" for the interview 1:08:45 Ending credits & podcast contact info Jon's Links Jon's Website Jon's Youtube Jon's Facebook Jon's Instagram Jon's Twitter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY7GnAq6Znw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcmecyoZgjo Never Miss an Episode - Subscribe NOW!

After an unplanned pregnancy very newly into her marriage, Melissa planned a home birth, but was transferred out of midwifery care due to a pre-eclampisa diagnosis. She was given no other option than an induction in the hospital. Overall, she was grateful to have not ended up with a cesarean, but there was so much that happened during that birth that was violating and unnecessary. After her baby was born, she started listening to birth story podcasts and realized that birth didn't have to be that way. During her second pregnancy, Melissa knew she wanted a different experience. She sought out a midwife with who had a wealth of knowledge about how to manage her blood pressure holistically in the event that she developed high blood pressure again. Recorded at just 7 weeks postpartum, her second birth was full of joy, humor, and there's a surprise twist at the end! This is such a beautiful story!

Rachel White, aka The Skeptical Shaman, blends real-world pragmatism, her sense of humor, and ancient tools and techniques into her practice as a trained shaman, medium, energy practitioner, self-published author, and flower essence maker. In today's episode, we dive into the world of floral essences and Rachel shares some of the behind-the-scenes of her business. Like so many of us who lived in cities during the pandemic, Rachel was itching to get out into nature, but she was limited to her balcony and the rooftop of the building she lived in. She decided to get creative by planting a small herb garden and accidently discovered the world of floral essences. Rachel talks about the serendipity that comes when you explore new things from a place of joy and breaks down her intuitive approach to picking out seeds and cultivating flowers. Rachel and I discuss the benefits of floral essences and the metaphysical energy inside each bottle that she packages by hand. She also shares her top recommendations for people who want to expand their vitality and explains how flowers like Milkweed, Passionflower, and Evening Primrose have supported her in the aging process.
