Today. we'll dive into the science behind smell and how you can use those principles in practical everyday ways using essential oils.
Read MoreFor the majority, their immune system can recognize biotoxins, break them down, and eliminate them. In the genetically susceptible, their immune system can’t identify the biotoxin or eliminate it. The biotoxin remains in the body, damaging cells, and promoting immune dysfunction. This leads to systemic inflammation causing a myriad of symptoms across many systems of the body. This episode deep dives into biotoxin illness, MARCons, and so much more.
Read MoreWhat do you do when every doctor gives you a different diagnosis? Every shaman? Every practitioner? Our guest, Amy Stein was told by everyone that she had attributes of lyme, hashimotos, lupus, you name it. No one was helping her the way she needed. Everyone had their own idea of what she was doing “wrong” or what was “wrong” with her body. After years of self study with oils, plants, the body, and nature, Amy went on a phenomenal health journey, and we’re thrilled to share it with you all on this week’s episode.
Read MoreDementia. It can be so painful to talk about this disease. Today we want to bring some encouraging tips and tools to bring joy to you and your loved ones challenged by dementia. This week, Lori Tisdale helps us understand how dementia cuts off the communication from brain to body. The brain constantly communicates to the body about how to function: when to eat, sleep, use the restroom, etc. When the brain is affected with a disease like dementia, the body doesn’t have the communication it needs to function. Let’s dive into how aromatherapy can help ease the burden of this disease.
Read MoreFor most of us we live the luxury of being able to simply drive down to a store and get our much needed amenities like shampoo, toothpaste, eggs, bandaids, or let’s face it- sometimes just a midnight snack of doritos (just me?). But what about those times where you’re traveling to places like our guest Ronee Collins has been to? What if you found yourself deep in the jungle of a place like Peru? What would you bring with you on your journey, and how many essential oils would you pack?
Read MoreWOW! KNOWLEDGE BOMB DROPS this week! Treasure after treasure rolls in this episode from one of my favorite guests Jodi Cohen. We talk a lot on this show about the sympathetic vs parasympathetic nervous system, but we certainly haven’t heard it all. Jodi is an expert at making amazing essential oil blends with seemingly endless amounts of knowledge and research to back her decisions up. This episode will make you start carrying more oils in your to-go purse I’m sure!
Read MoreEndo…what? Are you or anyone you know suffering from debilitating abdominal, leg, lower back, or even chest pain? Do you have especially bad cramps around your menstrual cycle? Even if you have seen doctors about your pain, and they claim it’s just a “painful period,” you might want to investigate further. This week’s episode dives deep into the misunderstandings that often happen around an incredibly common disease called Endometriosis. I sat down with my twin sister Michelle McGregor to break down some of her experiences and knowledge around this disease, and some essential oil tips to help with the side effects.
Read MoreFlower Essences! How have we done this show for so long without yet covering this topic? I’m so glad to have Kerry Hughes back on the show to finally dive into this modality of plant use. It’s been a long time coming, and this conversation fits so perfectly into our deep dive into the power of plants as of late. What is the difference between Flower Essences and Essential Oils? After this interview I now understand where these two have similarities and where they diverge. I’d love to hear from you about your experience with flower essences, and where you feel they’ve aided you where essential oils can’t.
Read MoreThis week’s episode dives into how the body can learn to be healthy. It can learn how to vibrate at the frequency it needs to in order to be healthy- healthy now, and in the future. To do this we rely on knowledge that’s over 5,000 years old, gained through studies in acupuncture, the balancing of the meridians, and energy work. Today we talk about the body on a cellular level, where everything is vibrating- right down to our cells. There’s a healthy vibrating frequency to everything; lungs, livers, lungs, skin- they all have a healthy vibration. If it’s not vibrating there, it’s sick. Our guest Cathy Goldstein has taken this knowledge about energy and frequency and put it all into an amazing skincare line called True Energy Skincare.
Read MoreBirth Control. Let’s talk about it. If you’ve ever tried to get pregnant, or gone out of your way to be sure not to get pregnant, my guess is you’ve either been on some form of hormonal birth control, or considered it. Doctors quickly prescribe “the pill” for issues from family planning, cramps, and even for acne (though let’s be honest… the pill can often cause acne)! But there’s a growing consensus on this drug: hormonal birth control often has very serious side effects, and if not informed about, it can lead to more problems than it solves. I’m so excited to share with you some advice about Fertility Awareness with a true expert in the field, Amy Murray. Fertility Awareness lets you see changes as they are happening to your body. How effective is this method? We dive into that in today’s episode. Accurate information is needed to make an informed decision about freedom over your own body. We’ll cover the effectiveness of Fertility Awareness, bring you home remedies for cramps, and teach you about how food and sleep play a huge role in your cycle health.
Read MoreHave you ever been outside- sun shining, birds chirping- when suddenly a particular kind of contentment washes over you? I get that feeling all the time, and usually chalk it up to just being away from the house, or work, and stress. But after meeting our guest this week, Gina Bria, I’m beginning to think that the euphoria I often feel outside, may in fact have more to do with the plants that I’m around than anything else. Gina takes us deep into a conversation about the power of plants, from what is both seen and unseen about them. She is able to give voice to an awareness outside of ourselves, and even outside of human perception .I call this Metaphysics, and I’m excited to share that this coming week, starting May 5th, I’ll be joining Gina at a Metaphysically Fit Summit all about using this awareness to improve our physically and mental health. You can attend online for FREE where you’ll learn to remove doubts and fears, and even unlock the limiting beliefs that are stopping us from being our best selves. We hope this episode inspires you to join us, where some amazing speakers will be helping create action plans that work for YOU!
Have you ever gone outside of your comfort zone and find yourself so glad you did? That’s what happened to me this week when I said “yes” to an interview with BioProtein Technology’s Dustin Baker. I realized that when I hear the term “Human Growth Hormones” I have a knee-jerk reaction. That reaction really comes from a lack of knowledge. What exactly are human growth hormones, and why is there such a buzz over them? Dustin and I discuss the difference between synthetic vs natural, the amazing regenerative process of Elk’s antlers, and the comparison between the world of essential oils and Human Growth Hormones. This is an episode you may have to listen to twice to soak in all the knowledge thrown your way. I’m certainly glad I’m more informed, and even excited about the reality and future of BioProtein Technology.
Read MoreDid you know that the laundry room is the most toxic room of the average household? But it doesn’t have to be…
On this week’s episode, I talk with the CEO of Truly Free, Stephen Ezell, about his company's toxic-free refillable laundry detergent, and other eco-friendly products. Stephen has a lot to say about the importance of our product choices, and how we all have the power to make massive change in this world when voting with our dollars.
Read MoreCandida has so many different symptoms and it can often get missed by doctors. Yeast overgrowth symptoms can be extreme, and most people don’t know it could be Candida. This week we talked with an absolute warrior, Jordan Combs, about her fight with Candida. At first, I thought that she would be sharing how her journey with doctors finally helped her heal from a debilitating case of Candida, but after our interview, it was obvious that that battle was fought and won with her sheer efforts and dedication. Often, with Candida, antibiotics don’t work because the biofilm is too strong. Holistic approaches, shared by Jordan today may be worth looking into if you’re suffering, and yes, essential oils play a huge part in the process. We got down and dirty this week, going into great detail about enemas! Are you ready?
Read MoreOur guest this week is the epitome of love! Her website even ends with .love instead of .com which I just… LOVE! Marcela Benson sees life as an invitation. There is no dogmatic way to “be healthy” or happy. Instead of telling people what they should or shouldn’t do in order to live healthier lives, she wants to inspire and invite others to explore and learn and grow with compassion and curiosity. Her newest book Love, Peace, and Vegetables is an encyclopedic resource that does exactly what she intends: it inspires and invites us into a healthier way of eating, cooking, and living. She understands that change is scary, and she’s here to encourage us to have patience with ourselves as we embark on our own healthy living journeys.
