Adrienne Nolan-Smith: Patient Advocacy in a Broken System
09 Dec 2025
00:48:34
Adrienne Nolan-Smith received her BA from Johns Hopkins University, her MBA from the Kellogg School at Northwestern University, and then spent three years working in hospitals helping to build programs for folks suffering from chronic disease. She became a board-certified patient advocate with a focus on holistic health and healing and went on to found WellBe, where she now puts all that knowledge, passion, and advocacy to work for people struggling to heal from complex, chronic mystery illnesses. In fact that’s how Adrienne and I met, back in 2020, when she reached out to me on behalf of several of her clients who were looking for a doctor with an integrative, functional medicine background. She is also the host of the GetWellBe Podcast and YouTube Show and shares her research with her community through articles, newsletters, and social media.

Mira Rubin: Finding Your True Self | The Healing Grove Podcast
03 Mar 2025
00:53:37
This week I am delighted that my friend Mira Rubin has returned to the Healing Grove podcast.
Trained in NLP, hypnosis and applied kinesiology, Mira Rubin is a transformational coach working with change makers and visionaries to shape a world that works. Over the course of many years and thousands of client sessions, Mira has developed and refined her powerfully transformative Core Connection Process, a modality that results in profound, rapid and lasting change.
After a lifetime in search of meaning, an epiphany in November of 2017 led Mira to commit to exploring ways to heal our planet and our relationship to it. She started the Sustainability Now podcast with her business partner, Scott Bille to educate, showcase life-affirming technologies and paradigms, provide connection across siloed disciplines and inspire practical action.
All of Mira’s work is about connection—to our authentic selves, each other and the world. And about taking the reins in our role as creators of our lived experience.
Both educator, and artist, Mira spent the 18 years prior to Sustainability Now teaching design and development of interactive, e-Learning, print and web content at her training center, Mira Images, Inc. During that time, she did technical writing, spoke at multiple professional conferences and authored two highly acclaimed texts.

Hannes Viljoen: Healing Ourselves Heals Our Team | The Healing Grove Podcast
16 Jan 2023
00:38:01
Hannes Viljoen was a young father when the unimaginable struck. His beautiful firstborn suffered a stroke that left one side of her body completely paralyzed. As he and his wife Jana were grappling to make sense of this, their second son was born with Down Syndrome and such an extreme lack of muscular tone that he was functionally blind and unable to suckle. Just as they were beginning to find their way with the first two, a third child was born, suffering injuries in the birth canal which over time led to many developmental delays, including symptoms of autism.
It is hard for me to imagine the degree of loss and grief that would accompany such a series of catastrophes. In this powerful episode, you will hear how Hannes and Jana moved through and beyond their trauma in order to "fight for our children's lives." They have been on a mission to recover all three ever since, and with some amazing results. In addition to hearing where their kids are now, you will also hear about the non-profit Hannes and Jana started to support families of children with special needs, on each and every limb of their tree.

Monifa Harris: The Power of Voice | The Healing Grove Podcast
09 Jan 2023
00:32:31
On this episode, I am excited to introduce you to my friend, Monifa Harris.
Monifa is a trained operatic singer who is passionate about helping others understand the connection between their voice, their breath, and manifesting the changes they seek in their lives. In her work as a vocal coach, Monifa teaches clients how to use their breath to release creativity in every area of their lives so they can move forward with confidence, ease, and flow. Given that she has used her voice to perform on stages all over the world, it might be hard to believe that Monifa was once a shy and anxious child. And her story of finding and learning to use her own voice is all the more powerful as a result.

Barbara Kleeb, MD: Setting Better Boundaries | The Healing Grove Podcast
02 Jan 2023
00:34:50
In this episode, we explore the fine and often lost art of setting healthy boundaries.
Dr. Barbara Kleeb is a singer, songwriter, photographer, and all-around rock star who also happens to be an Obstetrician/Gynecologist. Over the past few years, she has dedicated all her free time to creating novel ways to teach people how to say "NO"--authentically, respectfully, and effectively. This is a passion project born of watching too many of her patients struggle with illnesses that have, as part of their root causes, the inability to honor an authentic "NO."

Anita Kopacz: Reclaiming Pleasure | The Healing Grove Podcast
26 Dec 2022
00:35:19
Anita Kopacz calls herself a "pleasure alchemist," because her passion is helping people reclaim their innate ability to experience and enjoy pleasure after trauma. She is also an award-winning writer of two books, Finding Your Way and the recently published Shallow Waters. She received her Bachelor's in Interdisciplinary Studies at UC Berkeley, her MA in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica, and is a certified Tantric coach. I can personally attest to her power as a coach, intuitive, and healer...not to mention her loving, compassionate, playful spirit, which I have been blessed to experience firsthand since early childhood.
Anita is also an activist. She was inspired to create the Zero F’s Given campaign because she is a thriving survivor of sexual abuse. She has utilized numerous modes of healing to reclaim her power, the strongest of which continues to be communing with circles of women.

Brent Davis, DC: Reprogramming the Mind | The Healing Grove Podcast
19 Dec 2022
00:39:55
In this episode, we have another simple, natural, and potentially life-changing tool to explore: uncut flower essences.
When I first bumped into Dr. Brent Davis, DC, at a conference for Bioregulatory Medicine a few years back, I knew I had encountered a unique and important human. He was in the middle of describing to another conference attendee how the use of uncut flower essences can simply--almost instantaneously--reprogram years of old, stuck beliefs and traumas.
If you know me well, then you know he had me at "simply" and "instantaneously." We all carry around years of baggage that no longer serves us.
You know the kind of programming I mean. It's all bunk and can stick to us for years until we find a way to scrape it off for good. And uncut flower essences can do just that.

Lori Haring, PT: Getting the Body Unstuck | The Healing Grove Podcast
12 Dec 2022
00:34:35
In this episode, we return to the subject of trauma, and in particular, how trauma can get stored in the body...for years.
My dear friend Lori Haring is a physical therapist, a pelvic floor specialist, and the mother of five. She has advanced training in visceral and neural mobilization, as well as craniosacral and myofascial release. In this touching account, Lori details the story of how she lost her first love in a tragic incident. Her own journey has been informed by this tragic loss in an ongoing and cyclical way, and the tools she has come to master in her career have been instrumental in allowing her to finally release this trauma from her body. In our conversation she shares some of the most powerful tools with us.
Lori has such an incredible tale to tell: I know you will find it very moving and inspiring, as well as informative.
This talk that I did with Lori was recorded in 2020, and since then many twists and turns have come her way and Lori would like to update everyone with where she is today, and how those curveballs have shaped her own healing journey and her work with others dealing with chronic pain and movement disorders. She has written a personal letter to all of you, which you can read right here.
You can reach Lori here: 484-619-1137 (call or text) or at Loriharingpt@gmail.com

Matthew and Carol Newell:The Brain Can Heal | The Healing Grove Podcast
05 Dec 2022
01:18:18
Matthew and Carol Newell are the Founders and Directors of The Family Hope Center, an organization near and dear to my heart. When I made the tough decision in 2014 to put my dreams for a community wellness center on hold to work as their medical director, it was because it was clear that they were doing something truly unique, and uniquely effective, in the world of brain health and recovery. I just knew I had to be a part of it.
Brains-not-working-optimally are all around us. One in every four children struggles with some type of neurological disorder--whether it's autism, dyslexia, anxiety, OCD, low tone, ADHD, cerebral palsy, or something else. Nearly one in six adults will suffer from neurological symptoms in their lifetime, too: consider not only Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, stroke, and multiple sclerosis, but also all of those "senior moments," not to mention the ubiquitous brain fog that we've all experienced from time to time.
So if you have a brain (check), care about wellness (check), and would like to better understand how the brain can be stimulated to grow, heal, and reorganize (well?)....then this episode is for you!

Zen Honeycutt: Why Eating Organic Matters | The Healing Grove Podcast
07 Nov 2022
00:50:47
Zen Honeycutt, founder and CEO of Moms Across America, never set out to be the leader of a national movement raising awareness about toxins in our food supply. She was a mom...and then two of her three kids got sick. One developed food allergies so severe they almost lost him one Thanksgiving when he inadvertently ingested a pecan that was hidden in the stuffing. Another went from a happy, healthy, academically strong adolescent to severe symptoms of autism in a matter of months. You will hear in this incredible interview how she ultimately recovered them both, and how it sparked in her a deep sense of purpose and obligation to share what she now knows with others.

Sunjya Schweig,MD: The Puzzle of Complex Illness | The Healing Grove Podcast
31 Oct 2022
00:35:38
This week we continue to map the terrain, but from a slightly different angle and with an eye towards what we might need to cultivate--both inner and outer--in order to be optimally well. This week's talk by my colleague Dr. Sunjya Schweig addresses systems of care designed to boost the engagement of the most important person on your healing team: you.
I have personally been following Dr. Schweig’s work for a long time. Not only is he a functional medicine expert who is brilliant at articulating how to get to the root of complex, chronic, mysterious symptoms, but he also has a genuine heart for his patients, and a desire to serve. Like me, he is a family doctor whose career took an unexpected detour due to a complex mystery illness--not his own illness, but that of his wife. Since then, he has become a leader in the world of integrative, holistic, evidence-based and data-driven practice, teaching doctors and scientists both nationally and internationally that multi-system illnesses such as Lyme, SIBO, and mold injury need both a “high tech” (data-driven) and “high-touch” (heart-centered and holistic) approach.

Dr. Stephanie Seneff is a senior researcher at MIT who has spent the past decade focusing on the biological effects of the pervasive herbicide glyphosate, also known as RoundUpTM.

As with last week’s talk, there may be some overwhelm for you while listening, but Stephanie leaves us with a short and sweet list of steps we can take not only to reduce our exposure to this substance, but also to support the body in eliminating it.

Scott Forsgren: Eleven Steps to a Full Recovery | The Healing Grove Podcast
17 Oct 2022
01:06:23
Scott Forsgren was in his 20s when he was struck down with a mysterious medical illness that ultimately turned out to be a combination of Lyme, multiple co-infections, mold, and a host of other issues that sadly are all too common in our toxic world. Forty-five doctors later, he finally had a diagnosis and a treatment plan. Scott eventually regained his vitality, but wow! What a journey.
Ever since then, Scott Forsgren has been on a quest to share his learnings with the world, via a regular blogcast, a website, and through his informative newsletters--all for free. Visit his website here: https://www.betterhealthguy.com
In this talk, Scott walks us systematically through the eleven steps that he believes need to be at least considered for anyone struggling to recover from a complex, baffling illness--or to prevent one from occurring in the first place. He then takes a deeper dive into each step, providing an almost encyclopedic delivery of everything he has found useful in that regard.

Susan Peirce Thompson, PhD: Food, Addiction & the Brain | The Healing Grove Podcast
10 Oct 2022
00:56:51
Dr. Susan Pierce Thompson is a psychology professor with a PhD in Brain and Cognitive Sciences. For sixteen years, she struggled with her relationship with food. She dieted again and again, binged on cookie dough, was clinically depressed, and even turned to illicit drugs for a period of time. In her darkest hours, she would lie in the fetal position and literally pray for her weight issue to be removed.
That all ended in 2003, when Susan discovered a solution that changed her life. It was not a pill, but rather a commitment to certain "bright lines" that she agreed once and for all never to cross again. In the nearly twenty years since her discovery, Susan has been in what she calls her "right sized body," and has been teaching her bright lines to others, with incredible results. In this conversation, she will be talking about food, addiction, and her Bright Line Eating program.
As it happens, Susan Peirce Thompson is hosting an upcoming series of free webinars. Register for free, here
Kristin Reihman, MD & Nicole DeBoom: Trailer | The Healing Grove Podcast
03 Oct 2022
00:26:34
When I decided to release all the Healing Grove talks as a podcast, I had no idea what it would entail. So I did what anyone would do: I looked around at who I knew doing podcasts well, and started asking questions. My friend Nicole DeBoom, who swam with me at Yale and is one of my all around favorite humans ever, has released not one, not two, but THREE podcasts in the past few years, so I asked her. And she not only provided me with a ton of resources and the role modeling of her own journey, but she also agreed to help me out with this, the introduction to The Healing Grove Podcast. I think the rest of this brief interview speaks for itself. You can learn more about Nicole here: https://www.nicoledeboom.com.

This week I would like you to meet Dr. Casey Kelley.

Kerri Rivera, D.Hom: Healing with Chlorine Dioxide, Part 2 | The Healing Grove Podcast
28 Oct 2024
00:48:48
This week, Kerri Rivera is back to continue the conversation about chlorine dioxide, recovering kids from autism, and so much more.
I learned about Kerri's work using chlorine dioxide (aka CD, aka MMS) to help children recover from autism in 2012, at which point I decided I needed to know more. After digging into the research, I became convinced of its safety and potential benefit for complex, chronic infections, and I decided to use it on myself. The rest is...well, the rest you can learn about in my ebook, or in this talk! Regardless, I hope you will make time for it this week, since it might just be the tool you were looking for to carry you the rest of the fall, winter, spring, and beyond.

Kristin Reihman, MD: The Brain Health Round Up | The Healing Grove Podcast
26 Aug 2024
00:40:56
Over the past week I have shared some of what happened to my brain in 2022, during or shortly after an elective surgery on my neck. As I was crafting those emails, I was thinking about how we've never had a guest on the Podcast who'd recovered their brain after such an injury. Given my close work with brain-injured kids and Lymies with brain fog, it dawned on me that hey, we need one!
And then it dawned on me that maybe I am that guest. So that's who you're getting this week.
I hope you find this vulnerable sharing helpful, and not off-putting. I do this in the hopes that someone, somewhere, will find it valuable to hear my story. If you have someone you know who is challenged by a brain not functioning optimally, I would be honored if you would share this episode with them.

Caroline Alan: Minerals - Depletion and Supplementation | The Healing Grove Podcast
15 Jul 2024
01:03:18
This week I am super excited to introduce you to my new friend, Caroline Alan.
Caroline Alan is the co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, but like many of my guests on the podcast, she came to her current focus on health and wellness through a debilitating mystery illness that shook her on all limbs of her tree.
Coming from a career in the corporate world, Caroline found herself struggling physically, mentally and energetically. During her circuitous journey back to health, Caroline encountered plant-based minerals and their unique ability to support a return to natural balance in the body. And they changed her life.
Once well (which took about 9 months), Caroline delved into research on minerals: why they are important to human physiology, how they work in the body, why we are all so deficient, and how to replenish them effectively. Her journey took her deep into microbiology, molecular biology, cellular biology, agricultural soil science, the study of plant decomposition and more...and sparked a commitment to share what she had learned with the world. She is now on a mission, devoted to educating people about the benefits of mineral replenishment and the specific efficacy of plant-based humic and fulvic substances.

William Delgado: "Selling Hope" & Finding Resilience | The Healing Grove Podcast
20 Oct 2025
00:41:46
William's Story: Born in the Bronx, graduated from the high school of music and art in New York. My mother moved us to PR soon after, and I ran away back to the United States to live with my father. I landed in Allentown, PA back in 1979. I married the streets with no family around me. I was thrown out in the streets by my stepmother. I learned the streets and became a drug dealer. For 25 years I dedicated my life to this lifestyle. My life was out of control and I had caused so much damage in all my relationships. In 2008 I lost everything and was on the verge of suicide. I landed in Florida for this season. I voluntarily admitted myself to a program called Teen Challenge for one year. Here is where my life turned around. I stood rooted in Florida for 12 years. Coming back To Allentown in 2019 was a mission of redemption. I am now a Community Health Worker for LVHN. Giving back to community what I took. Relationships that were built on a nightmare foundation were the same relationships I am being part of rebuilding today. Going through the process of healing from suicide, rejection, mental illness, drug addiction of 25 years (now clean for 17 years) divorce, self hatred, and loss of my true identity. Today I have purpose with clarity of who I am. Helping others as I journey the new life that I have been given is the best reward.

Stephen Davis: The NIKKI Device - Healing With Frequencies | The Healing Grove Podcast
01 Jul 2024
00:47:17
This week I would like to introduce you to Stephen Davis.
For years Stephen Davis tried everything to find help for his daughter and her two children. Huge amounts of time and money did little to bring results. So he began his own search, which ultimately led him to frequencies, the topic of our episode today.
As an innovator and entrepreneur, he started his journey with science. He discovered the connection between good health and the fact that the cells in our bodies communicate through frequencies. Finally Stephen found a path to recovery for his daughter and grandchildren who have now been symptom-free for over five years.
Today, FREmedica is helping Lyme sufferers around the world find relief through the FREmedica Lyme Frequency Support Program. Stephen is grateful for the opportunity to share his story with everyone and especially those struggling with Lyme disease.
While traditional treatment can struggle to overcome a wide range of Lyme symptoms, FREmedica technology optimizes the body’s ability to heal itself. The wearable FREmedica NIKKI in combination with Lyme-specific frequency sets is designed to restore cell communication disrupted by the disease; enabling the immune system to target symptoms and clear the path to better health.

Meghan Tveit, MS4: The Healer's Journey, Episode Seven | The Healing Grove Podcast
17 Jun 2024
00:47:48
This week I am excited to share the seventh interview I had with Meghan Tveit, who is now a fourth year medical student (MS4). In this conversation she tells us about her family medicine rotation, her last rotation as a third year student. She also gives us a glimpse into what her fourth year will look like.
It has been awhile since we have heard from Meghan, so in case you need a reminder of who she is, and what she is up to, read on!
Meghan Tveit is now a fourth year medical student at George Washington School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. She graduated from Harvard in 2020, and spent almost two months living with our family during the lock-down (probably because my family includes her boyfriend, Mahlon). During that time, I really got to know Meg, and found her intelligence, compassion, empathy, curiosity, and authenticity an inspiration, and hope for the future of medicine. I've been incredibly grateful for Meg's willingness to share her journey through medical education in these little installments, as they provide glimpses into the usually hidden journey of becoming a doctor.

Chloe Weber, DACM, LAc: Chinese Medicine and Women's Health | The Healing Grove Podcast
10 Jun 2024
00:55:03
This week's talk is with Chloe Weber, a dear friend who I met several years ago in my work as the Medical Director of the Family Hope Center. Our meeting was not coincidental. Chloe's son, Remy, suffers from an extremely rare genetic disorder that causes seizures, and she had sought us out to explore unconventional options to heal her child's brain.
Remy, like so many of the kids I see at the FHC, chose his mom wisely. He chose a mom who would go to bat for him, doggedly searching for the root causes of his seizures and how to optimize his brain. When I met Chloe the first time, I instantly knew she was a Warrior Mom, determined to make a difference for her child, and eventually, for other kids and moms. She has done this over and over, starting with founding her company Radical Roots based on a tincture combining Chinese herbs and CBD, and most recently, with a new company, supporting women. Her exciting new offerings will be coming soon, and in this episode, I invited Chloe to share its roots with us.
If you would like to connect with Chloe and learn more about her, you can do that at https://radicalremedy.org

Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD: Welcome to the Sophia Health Institute | The Healing Grove Podcast
03 Jun 2024
00:54:51
Dr. Klinghardt has been a leader in the field of tick-borne infections, autoimmunity, and complex medically mysterious illnesses for over 30 years.
Dr. Klinghardt is a physician of incredible brilliance, scientific rigor, compassion, and intuition: a rare combination in today's doctors. His annual seminars, which I attended regularly before the pandemic, brought together the most cutting-edge researchers and practitioners from the fields of Lyme, autism, mold injury, PANS and PANDAS, chemical sensitivity, autoimmunity, parasitology, and beyond. Looking back over my scribbled notes from 2012 onward, I can see evidence of my mind being blown right and left--and the laying down of stepping stones of an emerging knowledge base about how to approach, treat, and heal syndromes thought by allopathic medicine to be incurable. I knew from the very first conference that this was the teacher who would bring clarity to my journey, and show me a path forward.

Nicole DeBoom: How I Overcame My Allergy to Exercise | The Healing Grove Podcast
27 May 2024
00:52:26
This week I brought in my longtime friend fellow Yale Swammer, Nicole DeBoom. You may remember Nicole because she interviewed me for the trailer of the Healing Grove Podcast way back when. Well, she is back to interview me again because, at the time of this conversation, I was about to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim through the Greek Cyclades islands with some swim buddies from college. This opportunity came to me seemingly out of the blue last fall, and though I can't say that I initially jumped at the idea of getting back into swimming training after 31 years out of the water, the long and the short of it is that I ultimately decided that I wanted to be the person who says YES! to adventures that thrill yet terrify, and so here I am.
If you'd asked me ten years ago whether I thought I'd ever be strong enough to swim 5000 meters a day in the open water for 7 days straight, I would have said "Not a chance." Back then I was still crawling out of the hole that was Lyme disease for me: 30 lbs down, barely able to pick up my one-year-old, and frankly a shadow of my former self. So it just goes to show what can happen when you get to the other side of your Lyme Healing Journey. And in honor of Lyme Awareness Month, I have decided to take a deep dive into the learnings of this swim adventure with me.
If you would like to follow along on my adventures in Greece and beyond, you can follow me on Instagram. You can do that here:

Cathleen King, DPT: Cultivating Okay-ness | The Healing Grove Podcast
20 May 2024
00:47:48
Over the past several years, a number of programs for retraining the limbic portion of the brain have popped up. I've leaned into a few of them, including the Gupta Program, DNRS with Annie Hopper, and my friend, Liz Stanley's MMFT. All of these are great programs, and have helped countless people regain their health using tools that fall under the category of "limbic retraining."
Recently, I came across a new kid on the block: Primal Trust, created by Cathleen King, DPT--aka, "Dr. Cat."
Even though I felt like I already had a pretty full tool box to direct my patients to, I decided to lean into her world a little. What I discovered is that for many of the patients I see--some of whom have become increasingly sensitive to a growing list of foods, chemicals, and environmental exposures, including mold--Primal Trust offers another beautiful solution.

I found Emily on Instagram several months ago and realized very quickly that I needed to have her come talk to my audience. If you are suffering from chronic dizziness or balance issues, my hope is that you will be encouraged and empowered listening to Emily share her story of healing.
Here is more about Emily...She is a Clinical Health Psychologist specializing in chronic dizziness and related disorders and also lives with multiple vestibular diagnoses. Over time, she has learned about the connection between histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome and chronic illness. She currently works from this lens, both in her personal journey and how she works with clients. She is the founder of Rooted Behavioral Education which provides self-paced virtual behavioral health courses specific to chronic dizziness, provides one-on-one educational meetings to vestibular warriors worldwide, and oversees vestibular mindset coaches. She is also the founder of a private psychology practice called The Vestibular Psychologist where she provides virtual, individual, and group therapy to those with chronic dizziness living in US states where she is licensed. She is passionate about conducting research, supporting clients, and providing holistic education to the vestibular community. Her mission is to teach vestibular warriors that treatment requires a whole body approach and that there are always new treatment options to consider.

Irma Jennings: All About Bone Health | The Healing Grove Podcast
08 Apr 2024

This week I am thrilled to introduce you to my new friend, Irma Jennings.
Irma is a Holistic Bone Coach, but I like to think of her as a "bone whisperer," because she really understands the deepest desires of our skeletal scaffold. Moreover, she is really, really expert at explaining things in ways that are simple, clear, and medically accurate.
With over 13 years of specialized experience in bone health, she provides comprehensive, evidence-based education to her coaching clients so that they are well-informed about osteoporosis management and prevention. She also has a vast network of practitioners with whom she works--people she trusts to "do bones right," as it were--and literally travels to visits with her clients to their bone doctors, where she offers support and advocacy during medical consultations.
