We will never be wiser than nature!
In this episode, we dive into the benefits of natural Chinese medicine with Dr. Chloe Weber of Radical Roots, hosted by Dr. Lara Varden. There are several medications available on the market, but natural medicine is one of the best gifts we have received from nature - proof of that is the story of Radical Roots, Dr. Chloe, and her child, Remy.
Chloe currently has a private practice in NYC, seeing patients in Manhattan and Bellmore. Working with Remy has led Chloe to extensively study integrative neurology and functional medicine, motivating her to find ways to help children with neurodevelopmental issues and seizures. While Remy and Chloe both felt better with the many hemp extract oils they tried, nothing stopped Remy’s seizures. Chloe felt she could create a stronger formula to help those with seizures, which is how Radical Roots was born!
Dr. Lara and Dr. Chloe discuss the early signs of a deadly disease that Dr. Chloe went through and how it led to her passion and study of Chinese herbs. Chinese herbs have been around for thousands of years and are backed by evidence-based science, including research for efficacy. Dr. Chloe shares how Chinese medicine helped her stop smoking and cured her of her disease. These extracted oils have also helped in battling the disharmonies her child was facing, who is now able to communicate and live a better life, which was one thing that she was often warned about.

Necessity is the mother of invention.
This statement is proven true when SaunaSpace was invented, now your best source for your own Infrared Sauna built-in with light therapy from incandescent lamps. It all started when Brian experienced adrenal fatigue after college and made his own electric light bath - now he has a workshop where they carefully craft these organic devices, which is not only a step but a leap towards detoxification, rejuvenation, a boosted immune system, longevity, increased physical and mental performance, among several other health benefits that it could offer.
In this episode, Dr. Lara Varden is joined by Brian Richards, the founder and inventor of SaunaSpace. What started in 2008 as a DIY project and a personal journey to optimal health inspired him to create SaunaSpace’s Incandescent Sauna product line in order to help others discover the pathway to natural healing, which now includes the world’s first Faraday-Cage Sauna.
Dr. Lara and Brian dive into the health benefits of a sauna session and everything else related to saunas. This involves the scientific explanation of how photobiomodulation, a form of light therapy, varies depending on the bulbs that were used - even involving how traditional practices such as basking in the sun throughout different points of the day are beneficial.

EMFs are rapidly taking over our lives!
Electromagnetic Fields are emitted not just by our wi-fi connections and 5G, but they may be found even in our smart refrigerators, sleep trackers that run on bluetooth, and even artificial light. These affect our health negatively, and even contribute to making mold in our households grow.
This interview is hosted by Dr. Lara Varden, PhD. She is an in-house clinician of The DNA Company, and a scientist whose specialty is cellular biology, molecular genetics, biochemistry, and neuroscience.

Through his unconventional approach blending humor, science and common sense, he’s becoming a leading voice on the topic of electromagnetic pollution and how it affects our health.
Dr. Lara and Nick discuss how EMFs may simply be known as the junk food of frequencies. More often than not though, it is posed to be seen as a positive contribution to society without exposing the risks and hazards that it is capable of doing. What is mostly shared is the convenience that it contributes in everyday life such as work, and the ease of access to the latest trends.
Throughout the episode, the following highlights were also discussed by Dr. Lara and Nick:
