Mineral Alchemy: Sulfur, Iron, Manganese + Scorpio Season
This episode dives into the alchemy of Scorpio season and the minerals that guide the body through transformation. Discover how sulfur, iron, manganese, and copper support the natural “composting” of old patterns—physiologically, emotionally, and spiritually—so decay can be metabolized into new life.
Explore the interplay between seasonal shifts, gut microbes, and mineral metabolism, and how these processes mirror the quiet, internal work of Scorpio season. Learn about Calcarea Sulphate, the tissue salt that helps the body clear waste, rebuild connective tissue, and transform cellular detritus into nourishment.
This episode offers a roadmap for understanding the body’s inner cycles: detoxification, stabilization, and regeneration. Listeners will gain insight into how the darker months are a time to support deep internal work, turning decomposition into energy, clarity, and preparation for what comes next.
As we move deeper into mid-fall in the Northern Hemisphere, the light is changing. The days are shortening, the sun sits lower in the sky, and our bodies are adjusting — whether we’re aware of it or not. This episode explores that seasonal recalibration through a biological and seasonal lens.
We’ll look at how shifts in daylight influence the circadian rhythm, hormone timing, sleep patterns, energy levels, mood, and even our immune function. This isn’t about forcing ourselves to do more in the darker season — it’s about understanding how the body naturally slows, repairs, and reorients as we approach winter.
This is Scorpio season — a time of descent, composting, and quiet integration. Nature is pulling inward, and we are built to do the same. When we recognize this shift instead of resisting it, we can move through the season with greater steadiness, resilience, and self-trust.
This episode is part one of a three-part seasonal arc. Next week, we’ll explore how minerals, digestion, and the microbiome shift during the darker months, and how this ties into the deeper emotional and metabolic themes of Scorpio season.
Take a breath, let the season work on you — your body knows what to do.
I've been soaking up this magical Leo season, picking berries at local farms and making plant infusions that feel like exactly what my body needs. It got me thinking about flow versus force - and how we've all been conditioned to swim upstream against our bodies instead of working with their natural wisdom.
In this episode, I'm sharing what my garden taught me about healing, why I've made some bold boundary decisions in my practice, and how to move beyond the endless root cause hunting that keeps so many people stuck in health rabbit holes.
I dive into a powerful case study of a 49-year-old client whose previous functional medicine approach had her on hormone precursors to "fix" imbalanced labs, while completely missing the terrain story her body was telling. When we looked at her hair mineral analysis and microbiome testing together, we discovered inflammation markers 10x normal, gut bacteria producing 318x normal levels of toxic methane gas, and a nervous system stuck in chronic threat detection mode.
This is what happens when we treat symptoms instead of understanding terrain. Her minerals showed a body fighting systemic inflammation for months, while her gut revealed missing keystone species and an ecosystem completely out of balance. The internal pressure from this chaos showed up as sleepless nights, brain fog, vision issues, and that constant feeling of being overwhelmed by everything.
This episode is a call-in for what I like to call the "conscious rebuilders" - people ready to stop fighting their bodies and start flowing with their innate wisdom. If you're tired of the endless testing cycles, supplement protocols that feel like warfare, and practitioners who treat your body like a broken machine, this conversation is for you.
We talk about why minerals AND microbes must be addressed simultaneously, how to read your body's adaptation story instead of chasing root causes, and what it looks like to rebuild foundational terrain rather than just manage symptoms.
My Minerals and Microbes program is evolving after over a year of working with this approach. I have spots available through August 9th at the current structure before it transforms to reflect everything I've learned about this deeper level of terrain restoration work.
Ready to stop swimming upstream and start flowing with your body's wisdom?

In this episode: I talk about how it is the minerals in your body that regulate the efficiency of your energy producing glands. By understanding how these minerals react with one another, you can control your body’s ability to produce energy and balance your hormones.
If minerals are affected by hormones can minerals in turn affect hormone levels?
When we think of ‘hormones’ what are we usually concerned about -well I work with so many women and will hear them say My hormones are a wreck Or my hormones are driving me crazy
Rarely if ever will I hear the men directly say such things. However when men do talk about hormones usually it’s with an emphasis on boosting their T levels or keeping that T healthy so they can stay in that masculine charge.
BUT Hormones go way beyond just our SEX hormones, which often are imbalanced or balanced, because of other gland/hormones upstream if you will And ALL of those hormones will be impacted by MINERALS

In this episode: I talk more about the energy it takes to have good digestion and why that even matters (most of us take it for granted). Digestive and bowel problems and even ‘diagnosises’ of gut problems such as celiac are now becoming the most common health complaints in the world. This is correctible but not with ALLOPATHIC - time, simple and natural methods that address the roots can be miraculous (a miracle is just a shift in perspective FIRST-that shift in perception changes everything. This is why I’m here sharing with you-to help shift your perspective on what is possible for you in your health and life that isn’t currently being taught in the mainstream/ or allopathic health system.

In this episode: I talk about STRESS and how our bodies adapt in light of it.
First off, stressors aren’t always BAD, BUT if you’re already carrying a ton of stress or your body has been depleted slowly over time due to stress then this may push you over the edge.
Abrupt dramatic diet changes or detoxes or eradication protocols or trying to go after heavy metals or single pathogens are good examples of this
The result can be intense and varied - from anxiety, to sleep disturbances, fatigue, missing periods and SO much more!
Do you remember any stressful period that permanently reduced some or most of your original vitality?

In my last episode I shared that I’d be coming back to expound on components of a hair mineral analysis, in this episode I get into some of the core readings and concepts of this test and work that I do -so you can see how it digs in a deeper way to help guide a path for your current health towards correction
A hair mineral analysis is a HOLISTIC test. It can reflect SO MUCH - such as your heredity, upbringing, lifestyle, diet, drinking water, attitudes, body chemistry, as well as health and dis-ease staes. It reveals an overall picture that is influenced by many factors - this is truly amazing as we simply cannot, nor should not try to separate ourselves up into dissected parts to ‘treat’ because we are all a unique WHOLE and beautifully complex human system. This is why I love this test paired with the mind body coaching work I do because it gives some concrete evidence to target that whole picture with greater clarity and nuance.

In this episode: I share more about one of the loves of my life more in detail with the hopes of creating change : the kind of change that potentially can transform lives -save them even. Mind you, I'm not here to save anyone -just here to serve others from a place of love with what I’ve gleaned over the years : first from a personal need and place of struggle that I was able to transform with this powerful functional test as a catalyst. The test that catapulted things for me back in 2014 and my youngest son - of which I’ve shared my story about in past episodes in multiple layers - hair tissue mineral analysis. It’s not really just about a test : it’s about a deeper peering into what was lurking behind the scenes within me that needed to be seen to be healed and recovered.
So let’s get technical today with the hopes that more of you can begin to understand why I fell in love with this tool called hair tissue mineral analysis

One of the things we all can do to create the biggest transformation in our well being is to honor our full self - mind body soul -which allopathic medicine does not do. Which is why I believe we don’t have a holistic health care system -we have what I call sick-care, minus the care.
Since every one of us deserves better we must come to terms with this so we can see/know and do better and let ourselves been seen and cared for fully. Integrating the whole human being is what will help us create more balance and eventually vitality of which many of us don’t even fully know what that can look or feel like.

In this episode, I dig into another nuance about vitamin D and how we make/absorb it. Plus how to EAT your vitamin D through the winter.
I also shared a past episode you won't want to miss if you are dealing with food sensitivities.
Finally, I ranted about two trends I've been seeing in the metabolic/mineral balancing communities that needed to be busted. And why dogmatic nutrition recommendations are problematic.

In this episode, I’m finally back to cover the final phase of a woman’s menstrual cycle . . . it’s probably the least known phase: the FOLLICULAR PHASE.
As a quick reminder . . .The four phases of a women’s infradian rhythm (aka: monthly cycle) are: menstruation, follicular, ovulation and luteal
Personally, I loved learning about this to help know what was happening with my hormones in each phase so I knew how to better organize my life to meet my ever changing hormones - instead of being caught off guard and confused or trying to live according to a man’s infradian rhythm which is how society is basically structured.
Your hormones are completely different in each of these 4 phases -today I just want to highlight the follicular phase.

What nourishes humans is more than just the food we consume - everything we experience in our environment can change the expression of our genes and influence them - we do hold so much power in our own hands to rewrite the story of our health and well being.
In this episode, I share about a dense amazing book I'm reading with my community currently. The book discusses the biological needs of humans, including diet, water, medicine, movement, nature immersion, community, etc. A major theme is the philosophy of civilization vs. rewilding.
The good thing about this ‘manual’ in my perspective is that it avoids creation of yet another fad lifestyle - or diet religion - because it digs into expounding on biological norms that have been documented in hunter-gatherers around the world.
It acknowledges that all living people belong to a lineage of hunter-gatherers millions of years old, a history that cannot be ignored when considering human wellness today.
What is also great is that it clarifies the confusing and often contradictory statements by various health ‘authorities’ by combining modern scientific study with observations of our wild ancestors (i.e., people who were extremely resilient to chronic disease and depression until disruption of their lifeways), which provides a way to get more oto the hearth and truth of various health assertions.

I've never met a single person cured by a parasite cleanse. Yet everywhere you look, someone's pushing the latest elimination protocol. What if the obsession with cleansing parasites is actually keeping you trapped in cycles of depletion?
In this episode, I break down why the warfare mentality toward parasites fails, what these organisms are actually doing in your ecosystem, and how our cultural shift from Capricorn rigidity to Aquarian innovation is changing everything about how we approach healing.
We explore: • What parasites are really telling you about your terrain • Why ancestral seasonal deworming worked but modern cleanses don't • The psychological parallels between physical and energetic parasites • How the Western purity paradigm keeps you fighting instead of building • The difference between toxic and healthy masculine approaches to health • Sophie Strand's wisdom about composting pain instead of purging it • Practical steps to shift from elimination to terrain-building
This isn't just about parasites - it's about fundamentally changing how you relate to your body, your healing, and your power. Ready to stop fighting your ecosystem and start tending it?
In this episode I chat about our menstrual phase - and some of the nuance around it for women in relationship to nutrition, lifestyle and more. When you are able to decode your own physiology, you’re able to help your body heal and use that body to create the life you desire.
Taking care of your body, not just to get well, but as a means to having the most fulfilling life you can have - is one sweet deal. It’s a matter of understanding how your body works, what the underlying causes of your hormonal/health issues are, and what you need to do daily to maintain balance.

Your mind, emotions and spirit have an enormous impact on your body. How you think and feel about yourself and the world, as well as how you experience spiritual connection makes all the difference in healing your body.
The principle of saturation love is this: it includes adequate love, quality time, quantity of time, plus undivided attention.
Saturation means that maximum absorption has been reached. A saturated solution is one where the solvent cannot dissolve anymore solute. For example, if you continue to add and stir sugar into a glass of water, the water will eventually become saturated with sugar, meaning no more sugar will dissolve in it. After the solution reaches the saturation point, any additional sugar will fall to the bottom of the glass—the water cannot dissolve anymore.
It is the same with love. It is possible to saturate someone (or yourself) with love so that any additional love is not received. It is not rejected; it is just not needed.

In this episode I chat about ovulation - and some of the nuance around it for women in relationship to two key minerals. These minerals are imbalanced to some degree in everyone today.
One of my original intents when starting this podcast was to talk about this breakdown I see in women (and honestly men too) : where we’ve lost touch with our life force energy and therefore our sexual potential our sensuality and even our creativity and drive.
Many people think about their libido or sexual energy solely in terms of what’s happening or not happening, as the case may be in their bedroom.
I like to use a broader definition of the word libido: your ability to give and receive pleasure, enjoyment and acknowledgement. Try thinking about your libido like this if you want to be turned on in bed (or with a partner), you need to feel turned on during your daily life.
I think we often think of pleasure as sensual pleasure when we hear the word - but I like to think of it as pleasuring my senses all day. It’s enormously difficult to fully surrender to pleasure during sex - or ever to want sex - if the pleasure in your life has run dry.

In talk about how you are what you digest and absorb nutrient wise - aka ASSIMILATION because that term is coming up for me holistically speaking on the heels of the sound healing retreat I’ve felt there was a lot to digest, absorb and assimilate. So let’s dig into it because it’s important and comes up in every client I work with -in fact today I just reviewed a BiomeFX with one of my favorite doctors and we talked about digestive inefficiency and how it’s a top priority in any case regardless of the differences in results.

On the heels of a beautiful sound healing retreat weekend and I wanted to share about the experience with you. I’ve used sound in many ways to support my own healing journey and now I recommend it to my clients as well - particularly those who are the most stressed out and have clear nervous system dysregulation causing more intense symptoms (such as anxiety).
In this episode I share a quick explanation of how sound has been used as medicine for healing throughout history and then talk about the different modalities I experienced at a retreat I attended this past week.

Your Body Isn't Meant to Be Forced Into Submission
What if the way we've been approaching healing is fundamentally imbalanced? In this episode, I share a deeply personal journey from forcing protocols to embracing flow, and why this shift matters for all of us - especially women.
I open with a story from my recent new moon ritual at the wild spring where I collect my water, exploring how our relationship with the elements can become medicine rather than just another item on our wellness checklist.
Then I dive into a conversation I had with Amanda from The Healer Revolution podcast (episode drops in September!) about an intuitive choice I made before a recent massage - taking the homeopathic remedy Cuprum Metallicum to support my fascia and connective tissue. This seemingly simple decision opens up a much bigger conversation about copper as the metal of Venus, the archetypal energy of receptivity, and how we can prepare our bodies to receive healing rather than forcing them into submission.
From there, we explore the masculine-feminine imbalance that's taken over healthcare - how we've created systems built on force, structure, and rigid protocols without the balancing principles of intuition, receptivity, and gentle flow. I contrast coffee enemas (forcing the body to release) with castor oil packs (creating conditions where the body feels safe to let go) as a perfect example of these two approaches.
This isn't just about healing modalities - it's about a collective pattern we're seeing everywhere. We've swung so far into the "hustle harder" mentality that we've forgotten true healing happens in relationship, in safety, in that space where someone feels held enough to finally soften.
I share how this understanding has shaped my Mineral Foundations course and my current client work, where I create what I call "ecosystem restoration" rather than symptom-chasing protocols. Your body is a living ecosystem, and like any ecosystem, it requires the right conditions to thrive - not force.
Perfect for anyone tired of battling their body, ready to explore a gentler path to healing, or curious about integrating ancient wisdom with modern wellness approaches.
This episode sets the stage for my upcoming summer series on terrain restoration and moving beyond the root cause paradigm.

In this episode I’m going to get into BODY VOLTAGE -what the heck that even is and why it matters.
Healing is voltage my friends - grateful to my friend for sharing Jerry Tenant’s work with me years ago it’s been something I’ve been working on with vigilance to implement in my own life as well as to understand and even start to get others excited about too.
Without electrons, without current, without voltage we are dead so the more charged up the fuller of life we are.

As well as cover a bit more about why your cells are affected by bad fats.

Regenerative Farming Tour & Fat-Soluble Vitamins: Why Your Health Depends on Real Food
Discover how traditional farming practices produce nutrient-dense foods rich in fat-soluble vitamins essential for hormonal health, fertility, and overall wellness.
My 8+ Year Journey with Regenerative Agriculture
In this revelatory episode, I take you along on my EPIC adventure visiting a local Pennsylvania regenerative farm where I've sourced my food for the past eight years. This isn't just about shopping local—it's about reconnecting with the fundamental source of human nutrition that modern food systems have obscured.
The True Value of Nutrient-Dense Foods
I delve into the extraordinary benefits of consuming foods raised using regenerative principles:
Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K2) found abundantly in pasture-raised animal products
Why these nutrients are critical for hormone production and reproductive health
My top three favorite nutrient-dense foods from this farm and their specific health benefits
"Butter is Your Future Children"
When a friend hesitated to purchase raw butter during our farm visit, I shared this profound truth: "Butter is your future children." This isn't hyperbole—it's biochemical reality:
Raw butter contains intact enzymes that processed dairy products lack
These nutrients directly support hormonal balance and fertility
Traditional cultures prioritized these foods for reproductive-age individuals
The High Cost of Conventional Food
There's wisdom in the adage: "Pay the farmer now or pay the doctor later." The true expense of conventionally produced food extends far beyond the checkout line:
Nutrient depletion in industrial food systems
Long-term health consequences of consuming "food-like products"
The hidden environmental costs of conventional agriculture
Supporting Regenerative Agriculture in Your Community
I encourage you to seek out and support farmers practicing regenerative methods in your area. For those in Southeast Pennsylvania, visit PastureToFork.com and experience firsthand how your food is grown.

People tend to think I’m against calcium, I’m not. What I am against is what stands in direct attack of what I am for. Which is misinformation that leads to dysfunction, disorder or discomfort or "dis ease".
A reader on Instagram asked this question on a post I did about calcium and magnesium (here);
“We always hear from holistic therapists that calcium supplements are considered harmful. So are mineral supplements (because of Ca in them) considered harmful as well?”
First, let me say why I tend to warn about calcium being a problem. We are living in a calcified world. Magnesium controls electrical cell-to-cell communication allowing the correct amount of calcium to enter a cell to create cell contraction.
This may be one of the hardest tasks for magnesium because the level of calcium outside our cell could be thousands of times the safe level.
Magnesium’s job becomes more difficult these days because of our history of adding calcium to fortify many many foods alongside of our current vitamin D supplement craze. Not to mention many people are still taking supplements with too much calcium.
In a perfect world we need equal amounts of magnesium to calcium for this to work properly BUT because we collectively have had way too much calcium consumption, not enough magnesium consumption this poses a huge challenge. Plus the way the body holds excess calcium vs. magnesium is completely different. You can build up excess calcium but you can’t really do that with magnesium.
A great video you can watch for some context is called : Balancing Calcium with Magnesium This video demonstrates with animation the interaction of calcium and magnesium at a cellular level allowed inside the cell
A great book you can read to understand this better is called; The Calcium Lie by Dr. Thompson.
I've done many episodes on calcium/magnesium, magnesium and vitamin D to help you realize this whole mineral balancing thing is quite a juggling act. A lot of what we've been doing has been wrong and we need to see it so we can correct it. I hope you find this short episode based on this question helpful on your own mineral journey.

I’ve been really pimping out my electrolyte recipe lately and when people finally start using it they tend to like how it gives them a bit of a boost/lift.
The fluid and electrolyte system, itself, in the body is dynamic and very difficult to measure. But we do know it depends on access to minerals dissolved in water and proper cellular absorption of those minerals making them bioavailable.
One of the most important functions of electrolytes is to enhance cellular hydration. To most people, hydration just means there is enough water in the body but the real key is to get the water into the cells and make it stay there to perform its biological functions.
Most people tell me: “I didn’t know I needed anything other than water to be hydrated” NOPE -tune in and get your learn on so you can increase your energy and vitality!

Don’t look for society to give you permission to be yourself- give it to yourself!
The only thing standing between you and a better, healthier, more abundant life is simply giving yourself permission to be who you truly are meant to be.
But, that can be difficult because we live in a culture where we are programmed from birth to ask “authority figures” for permission for everything.
Nourished people, people who love and care for themselves, are also more efficient and much easier to be around.
When you give yourself permission to relax, people will feel more relaxed around you; your environment will become more harmonious.
Tune in for a powerful reminder on how and why to give yourself permission, so you can live in more freedom as YOU.

In this episode, I share a little recap of my weekend foraging and full moon gathering adventures. We walked a labyrinth which is for brain balancing and had a mini tuning session before we entered. I also learned why you don't want to sleep with your head facing north.
Just a year ago I was not connected to a supportive tribe - I think many of us can relate to how these past couple years have shaken up our lives in many ways : finding our true tribe one of such ways. I’m so grateful because I set an intention after my podcast with Tommy John to find my soul tribe and here I am a year later enjoying the reality of that intention.
Now that the weather is glorious here in the northeast we can really power up from nature - and I want to talk briefly about how we work within nature first then you can hack your health accordingly.
I’m running into a lot of people in an awful hurry to heal and almost ‘force’ it by throwing EVERYTHING at themselves but to be completely honest this is still a disconnected approach. Trying to fill gaps by taking 40 supplements and then find everything that is possibly wrong so you can find another supplement or test to fix it, is still an allopathic mindset that we GET to shift.

I am all about fully enjoying my life these days, I didn’t used to. I used to lack joy. In fact, I was so apathetic and fearful that I used to just spend hours fantasizing about life, instead of actually living it. There’s a long history there that stems from trauma and abuse that caused me to not feel safe. This created a lot of blocks in my entire being as a whole, but I’ve done a lot of inner healing to overcome that.
There have been many times in my life that I have sunk into 'lack of joy' mode and lost my passion. I'm not alone in this. I know a lot of women struggle with this lack of joy, apathy, boredom, no motivation. This also shows up in the physical body with stagnate energy, constipation and more.
Thankfully, I’ve learned how to prioritize fun and joy filled living so I never go back to that dark space and stay there. If I find myself feeling that 'stuckness', I am now able to more quickly recognize it, feel it, process it and then shift out of it. Even when there are challenges in my life, I can still keep my passion alive and not shift to a sense of lack.
In this episode I'm digging into how a lack of joy shows up in your health & life, and what you can do to revive your passion!

Expand your joy so deep. That it doesn’t matter what others do or don’t do. You still have an overflow. You still have waters of bliss to bathe in at any given moment.
In this episode, I remind us all of the core message of this podcast: A JOY TO BE YOURSELF. I share an adventure I had and some past podcasts on joy as well as how to ENJOY your life and be yourself more fully with a key mineral pair in balance (and what it means).

In this episode I'm chatting about a few things you won't wanna miss. I share a mama bear cry and call to rise up and create health ( the future form of currency we all need to prioritize).
You cannot give beyond what you yourself have to give : boundaries are essential and the not so sexy self care is non-negotiable.
I share yet again on magnesium with a call to action and a past episode you gotta check out. And a client wrote in her heartfelt gratitude and in this episode I'm sharing her story as well.
Despite the fact that magnesium is almost as important for life as the air we breathe I still meet people daily who have no clue of it’s benefits and not only that they are living a magnesium burning way of life (sympathetic : adrenaline burns through magnesium we need magnesium to help us balance our hormones as everyone that comes to me seems to desire - my hormones are wonky. Good reminder since this is not being discussed enough.

Considering that many woman come to me with issues relating to their cycle or digestion (bloating-feeling sluggish and even moody) I tend to have a few go-to’s that I rely on.
By using castor oil packs, the flow of lymph is increased throughout the body. This helps to speed the removal of toxins surrounding the cells and to reduce the size of swollen lymph nodes.
If you feel any kind of internal stagnation : it’s time to support your lymph. So often we want to go straight DETOX but we skip the lymph -we live in a sitting society that no longer moves in the ways we once would if we were more connected to nature
In this episode I share why castor oil and how to do the packs: who can benefit from them and so much more! Be prepared to learn and then take action!

Over the years I've worked with a lot of women (and now more men) to help unravel their health concerns. One of the biggest things I've noticed is that it's really hard for women to put themselves and their health first. And I'm on a mission to shift that paradigm.
Your health is your greatest asset and gift. It's no one else's job to take care of your physical health. Only you can do that. Sure other people can encourage you, but no one can do it for you.
I learned the hard way and didn't put my health first for a long time as an adult. I wasn't really modeled how. I grew up on processed food just like you probably did. Once I finally learned better, I to make the choice to do better. So when my health finally did come crashing down, I finally took heed and started putting my health first.
I hope I can help others not wait that long. You can do so much NOW to prevent your health from crashing, but only if you put your health first. Stop making it a backburner priority and put it on the front burner. You have to take personal responsibility, get educated and start implementing changes so you can feel your best.
Helping others to embody personal responsibility and prioritize their health is at the core of my client work. It's the work I had to do for myself and have to keep doing for myself, as well as model to my kids.
In this episode I share an example with you of a woman who also learned how to put her health first, and how to get the support she needed to make a much deeper shift than she could on her own.
As you know I believe minerals run the show of the human body, even the microbes in your gut rely on mineral balance. Minerals & Microbes are foundational elements every one of us needs to thrive. In this episode I want to hone in on one aspect of gut health that I see as a key anyone can focus on improving to also benefit their whole health.
When the gut microbiome is running low in its keystone species this impacts systemic functionality as well.
For example; one function I see low on all of my clients BiomeFX stool sample results is low butyrate function. It’s one of many BUT here’s why even this one function alone in the low range can impact many things.
What is butyrate?
Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that provides fuel for the cells of our gut lining, supports immune system functions of the colon wall and protects against certain diseases of the digestive tract. There are other SCFAs like acetate and propionate, but the benefits of butyrate are particularly well-researched.
Butyrate is produced by your gut bacteria and supports digestive health and disease prevention.
Our gut bacteria digest tough plant fibers for us and turn them into a number of organic compounds, including “short-chain fatty acids” (SCFAs) that have well known proven benefits for our health and well-being.
Our gut bacteria produce fatty acids, vitamins and amino acids that have a range of beneficial effects for the body, from promoting healthy immune system function to maintaining the integrity of the gut lining. In many ways your microbiome and immune system are one in the same.

In this episode, I tackle the subject of medical gaslighting. It needs to be spoken about and seen for what it is so we can take our power back.
This is a little bit of a heavy topic BUT a necessary one to tackle so we can break free and move towards freedom of choice out of a very corrupt and broken system.
As with common gaslighting, it causes the individual to doubt their own experiences. Medical gaslighting occurs far too often
Medical gaslighting is a real thing. It can be terrifying or traumatic to be dismissed or told you are fine when you feel like your body and mind are falling apart.
Tune in to shine the light on this so you can address it head on and avoid it altogether.

So, I took a poll recently and asked what podcast episode you wanted me to do the most next and the majority of you voted for BRAIN FOG
Now here’s the thing -this episode isn't short : which may seem cruel to do to someone who is dealing with brain fog. So please listen when you have a clearer mind and fully hydrate!
Brain Fog is one of the most common symptoms I hear about / it’s not recognized medically - because honestly I don’t think they know what to do about it because it’s roots are many and vary from person to person (and we know the medical is very limited when it comes to doing the deeper digging *snark*). It’s also not easy to medically test for and it’s quite subjective.
Brain fog may be described as feelings of mental confusion or lack of mental clarity. It is called brain fog because it can feel like a cloud that reduces your ability to think clearly. It can cause a person to become forgetful, detached and often discouraged and depressed. It usually is present most of the time, meaning it does not come and go, although it may become better or worse depending on what a person eats, or one’s state of rest and hydration.
With brain fog, You just know that your brain does not function well, and often seems foggy or cloudy.
Tune in to hear me unpack all the possible contributors to brain fog and what you can do about them..

What if the very thing you think is helping you heal is actually keeping you stuck?
In this episode, we're diving deep into why the "root cause" paradigm has gone too far - and how it's creating the very stress response you're trying to heal from.
I'm sharing the difference between two energies: the Ouroboros (chasing your tail, consuming your own healing energy) and Magnetism (aligning with your body's natural intelligence).
You'll discover: • Why hunting for THE root cause keeps you in fight-or-flight • How to shift from chasing solutions to creating conditions for healing • The interference problem that's drowning out your body's signals • Why co-regulation with people and environment matters so much • The difference between correction and integration models • How the built environment disrupts your body's natural magnetism
This isn't about adding more protocols to your life. It's about trusting your body's wisdom over the noise around you.
If you're tired of being the Ouroboros and ready to reclaim your body's natural blueprint for health, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm going back to one of the fundamentals of mineral balancing for overall health and covering MAGNESIUM.
I've talked about it many times on the podcast in the past but I'm always having the same conversation over and over with new people coming in. So I figured it was time to revisit an approach to magnesium, so more people can be more thorough in their approach with a better comprehension. PLUS, I share a 31 question assessment to help you gauge where you are at on the magnesium deficiency scale.
I also shared how to approach getting adequate magnesium with a LOT of caveats -you are gonna want to tune and hear.
I shared two of my favorite magnesium options; ReMag Ionic magnesium [ HERE ] and ReMag Balm [ HERE ] If you decide to try out either; use code: LydiaShatney to save 10% on your first order.
In this episode, I delve into a powerful realization that emerged during my journaling practice. While listening to a podcast by Rainer Wylde (the specific episode eludes me), his words sparked a reflection on my past. He emphasized the importance of both partners being fully committed to growth in relationships, partnerships, and marriage.
One particular phrase stood out: "show the mess." Interestingly, this message had already been resonating with me repeatedly. Initially, I believed I was already open and transparent, sharing my struggles with others. But then it dawned on me—there's more to my story that I haven't yet revealed. By doing so, I may offer liberation to others who may feel isolated in their own struggles.
Sharing our vulnerabilities has a profound impact. When I hear others speak openly about their challenges, especially those I believed were unique to me, it provides a sense of relief. It reminds me that I am not alone, that my struggles don't define me as a colossal failure. Join me as we explore the transformative power of embracing vulnerability and unveiling the truth.

Your biology is changed by your own energy Your energy is what affects matter When you change your energy you change your body
Between one-third and two-thirds of all healing is down to the placebo effect, not therapies, drugs or surgery? The placebo is just a sugar-pill where the patient is healed by the belief they’ll get better: positive thinking.
Now the nocebo effect is equally powerful, caused by negative thoughts. The belief you have a terminal illness can actually cause you to die, and negative thinking is much more common in our current world.
You are either the placebo or the nocebo.
In this episode; I'm sharing a powerful message and a client transformation just in time for you to consider what you may need to let go of this full moon.
