Becoming Natural: Heal From Chronic Illness with Plant Medicine | Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, IBS, IBD, Autoimmune Disease, Gut Health, Natural Remedies – Details, episodes & analysis

After 25 years of chronic illness, many surgeries, and a whole lot of prayer, I found healing in places I never expected—through plants, lifestyle changes, and a deeper connection to my faith. I’m Penny Sampler, an occupational therapist, former pharmaceutical rep, wife and mom of three boys. On Becoming Natural, I share the journey I never saw coming—trading pills for plants, learning to detox my home and heart, and walking the path of natural, faith-based healing. This podcast is for women who want to clean up their health and homes without getting overwhelmed—because small changes lead to big impact. You’ll find simple strategies, emotional encouragement, and research-backed insights to support you wherever you are. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, curious about holistic wellness, or just trying to live a little lighter—this is a safe space. We’ll talk food swaps, non-toxic living, emotional health, natural remedies, and how faith can lead us through it all. I don’t have it all figured out—but I’ve learned that healing is a journey, not a destination. Let’s walk it together. 📌 Note: I’m just a girl with a wild story and a passion for sharing what has helped me feel my best during difficult times. I share personal experience, documented research, and a whole lot of heart. Always talk to a professional when making changes to your routine.
