61: Reversing Autoimmune Disease with Herbal Medicine | Lindsay Etemadipour Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

Lindsay Etemadipour was among the very first wellness content creators I followed when I started WellnStrong’s Instagram, and she’s been in the wellness space curating content as a holistic herbalist for over ten years. Having grappled with an array of autoimmune diseases and chronic conditions spanning two decades, Lindsay spent years in and out of doctors' offices, finding no relief. Her experience led her to pursue alternative modalities and discover the power of herbalism. Lindsay’s passion led to her founding Symbi, a loose-leaf tea brand providing ancient remedies for modern ailments. In this episode, Lindsay and I discuss the value of holistic treatments in addressing chronic illness, why herbal remedies can be effective tools in treating a variety of disorders – from autoimmunity to hormonal imbalances, how to select quality herbs, and how Lindsay began creating her own herbal blends to help restore her health.

60: Acne, Weight Gain, Facial Hair, & Infertility: Is PCOS the Cause? | Cory Ruth, MS, RDN Aug 06, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, I’m exploring a complex and often misunderstood condition that impacts millions of women worldwide – Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS. PCOS is one of the most common hormonal endocrine disorders in women and is closely associated with infertility. It can create a heavy emotional burden on those who suffer from it and its related physical problems (like weight gain, facial hair, acne, & infertility). That's why I’m very excited to welcome Cory Ruth to the show today. She is a Registered Dietitian, Nutritionist, women’s health expert and the founder of The Women’s Dietitian, a digital platform that helps women seek nutritional support for hormone balance, PCOS, fertility, and weight management. She specializes in PCOS and nutrition therapy for infertility and assisted reproductive technology. Cory and I discuss how women can put their PCOS symptoms into remission by addressing the root causes of their symptoms.

58: Overcoming Stage IV Cancer Against the Odds | Jon Hegarty Jul 23, 2024

Show notes

Join me as I speak with Jon Hegarty about his brother Christian's remarkable journey in overcoming a terminal cancer diagnosis. In 2020, Christian was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. His doctors told him his only treatment options were chemotherapy or hospice care. Christian’s story illustrates that when conventional medical treatment fails, alternative paths to healing are worth exploring. Willing to try anything, Christian gave himself 5 weeks to explore alternative treatments. He radically changed his mindset, implemented dozens of holistic healing strategies like high-dose vitamin C infusions and mistletoe. To everyone’s astonishment, after just 5 weeks, the oncology team at Dana Farber called with shocking news - his tumors had somehow shrunk. Christian is now 2 years into remission. Since then, the brothers have started a non-profit called "GoingWell", that connects cancer survivors like Christian - people who have all but been written off by conventional medicine - to cancer patients who could benefit from their guidance and experience.
