Ep. 85 - Why Your Doctor Doesn’t Support Your Natural Remedies!

4/16/2024
The definition of medicine is 'the field of applied science related to the art of healing by diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.' It encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by preventing and treating illness in human beings. However, the influence of pharmaceutical companies in medical education has led to the acceptance of the 'cut, burn, and poison' mentality. Consequently, the conventional approach to addressing the underlying causes of health issues has been overshadowed. In today’s episode, I discuss why your doctor may not support natural remedies and address your nutrition questions during and after your cancer diagnosis.

Ep. 81 - How to Help YOU and Your Children Heal Emotionally

3/19/2024
In this week's podcast I get vulnerable sharing a hard but important lesson I have learned and continue to work every day. Emotional Honesty. When our children witness us expressing our emotions, they can understand that their own feelings are natural and acceptable, and that they too can express and discuss them. Today, I want to share with you the value in being present with your children, understanding their emotions, and expressing their own struggles so you can heal together.

3/5/2024

Ep. 77 - Leaky Gut & How to Fix It!

2/20/2024
The father of modern medicine Hippocrates said it best, “All Disease Begins In the Gut.” On this week’s episode, I am thrilled to have Kristen Blake, as our special guest. Kristen dives deep into how leaky gut can cause myriad health issues from headaches to skin related issues to IBS and more. Kristen shares how certain symptoms might not be directly related to the gut but can cause issues that lead to autoimmune disease and other health concerns. Many do not recognize or know that digestive problems wreak havoc in the entire body, leading to allergies, arthritis, autoimmune disease, rashes, acne, chronic fatigue, mood disorders, autism, dementia, cancer, and more. Having a healthy gut means more than simply being free of annoyances like bloating or heartburn. It is absolutely central to your health. It is connected to everything that happens in your body.

Ep. 75 - Supporting Your Oral Health

1/30/2024
One of the only long term side effects my son has experienced post conventional cancer treatment was cavities. As I did more research I realized this is fairly common with kids who receive chemotherapy and radiation. I invited my friend, Lauren Dahl, founder of the company Wonder Oral Wellness, and real health advocate, to share with us natural ways to help prevent and in some cases reverse issues such as cavities and even gum recession. We cover everything from raw milk to fluoride and a toothpowder that can work miracles! Make sure to go give Lauren a follow on Instagram @shilohfarm1906!

Ep. 74 - Sabbath Rest

1/23/2024
You may be hesitant to listen to a podcast about Sabbath rest, possibly even assuming that it’s going to be filled with rules, religiousness and guilt. But actually, I pray you find it’s quite the opposite. In fact, I think that if you truly implement this practice in 2024, you’ll see every aspect of your life benefit and realize it has nothing to do with rules, religion or guilt, but rather everything to do with freedom and spiritual wholeness. In today’s episode I share the why behind taking a Sabbath rest, how to know if you need it, how our family practices this weekly and the benefits we’ve experienced.

Ep. 71 - The Power of Touch in Your Healing Journey

1/2/2024
One of the most powerful healing tools that God created and that’s often overlooked is touch! In fact, using your hands to physically connect with others can help the person transition into the parasympathetic state and activate healing in such a quick and life-giving way. On today’s episode, I’m thrilled to have Dr. Charles Penick back as a special guest. He not only explains the science behind touch, but you’re going to love all of the practical tips, suggestions, and techniques that he provides. As he shared, you don’t have to be at the mercy of what happens to you, and you have amazing capabilities that God has created within you! So, in this episode…let’s remember what those capabilities include and begin to apply them to help our loved ones heal with intentional and therapeutic touch.

Ep. 70 - Who Are You? Finding Your Identity…

12/26/2023
As we step into a new year, do you find yourself taking inventory of the past year and feeling excited about the new year? I do…and even feel a restless excitement!

Honestly, I think this conversation could help set up your 2024 on a completely different level! Links: Episode 65: Should You Set Goals for Your Healing?

12/5/2023
On December 4th, 2013, my son was diagnosed with cancer…ten years ago! And every year at this time, my husband and I are filled with a mixed bag of emotions. So as I once again reflect about our experiences, particularly in the context of the holiday season and all the gatherings, I discuss in today’s episode about the power of your thoughts and the consequences of when fear overtakes your mind. I also give you some intentional questions to ask yourself and others to help you navigate the holiday gatherings, and some encouragement in how you can live during this season of your life with hope and amongst community!

Ep. 66 - Living Through Cancer: A Sibling’s Perspective

11/28/2023
I’m thrilled to share this really special and tender conversation I had with lifestyle YouTube sensation, Brittany Vasseur. Brittany’s brother was diagnosed with Stage 3B Testicular Cancer at the age of 24, and as you can imagine, it turned their world upside down. Her story, her commitment to walking alongside her family during this difficult time, and her willingness to jump fully into educating herself in how they could fight more holistically are inspiring. Plus, her thoughts on hope in the midst of her brother only having a 5% chance of living will empower your heart deeply! I’m also excited that KICKcancER’s newest Executive Director, Dana Hinton, was able to join our conversation. Dana helps to moderate our conversation, but having experienced the loss of her sister in the last year to ALS, her insight to our conversation is priceless! Plus, Dana shared some really exciting news about what’s happening over the next several weeks that I would like to invite you to participate in! Essentially, this conversation amongst the three of us about cancer, supporting loved ones fighting cancer, holistic options, hope, plant medicine, and so much more is one that you don’t want to miss!!
