What happens when medical science meets mediumship?

In this powerful and deeply human episode of The Drop the Needle Podcast, host Jim Alstott sits down with Nick Lodato, an ICU nurse practitioner who also happens to be a gifted psychic medium.

In 2007 I had a session with my first reiki practitioner; she is a gifted intuitive healer that helped me understand my awakening. She lovingly guided me as I became aware of my spirit guides and helped me heal from a life transition. A few reiki healers later I was now communicating with my guides and angels. Not really knowing what to do with all this information, I basically talked on the phone a lot! Helping my friends and family with whatever their heartache was at the time.

After a move to another state, I was led to be mentored by one of the best medical intuitives in the country. She taught me how to trust my intuition as well as the complexities of medical intuition. For the last decade it's been busy. I have been taught how to journey by a shaman, taken advanced classes developing my psychic and mediumship ability, and have become certified in Family Constellation Therapy.

I made the leap to practice officially several years ago. Word of mouth and the beautiful people I have been able to help have spread the message of my practice.

I have been blessed with the best healing team of women to guide me on my path. I am humbled and so very grateful to be helped by them and spirit. Thank you to Samara, Lori-Lyn, Doe, Miki, Tina, Laurie, Marie, Samantha, Denise, Nishaan and Karie. I found my calling because of you.

Personally, I love cooking - not so much cleaning, a secret love for Below Deck and Captain Lee, The Lake in The North and the Gulf in The South, and birds. Yep, birds of any kind. Also, I am a wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend. I was sent the most patient, loving and open husband. His belief in me has made this all possible. Thank you, David.

Julie Foster, MD, has been board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine since 2000. She was trained in Medical Acupuncture by the Academy of Pain Research in 2015 and became an energy healer in 2021. Dr. Foster blends western, eastern, and energy medicine techniques to help you find a way to heal. She opened Flowing Chi Medical in 2017 to have more time with patients and explore the realm of medical acupuncture so that she could help them heal instead of offering them a pharmaceutical band-aid over a 5-minute visit. She realized that diseases can be cured by releasing the emotional blockages in the body's energy meridians that cause disease. When her hands "turned on" in 2021, she began to play with the techniques of energy medicine, and through this, she discovered that we all have a "God particle" in the center of our body and that when those photons connect through love, "God Heals God," and miracles become an everyday occurrence.
