We have the incredible privilege to speak with Levi Barker, Iboga healer with the Iboga Wellness Center, about the gifts of healing and wisdom the Iboga plant medicine brings to us. Levi shares with us the teachings of this sacred plant as access to study life itself and how to be the best human being we can. Join us.

Dr. Anne Procyk and I explore the vision of a world where the first doctor you saw for an illness was an integrative naturopathic doctor instead of the last. What if natural integrative medicine was the frontline of our healthcare system as our primary care? What if mental health concerns were always addressed with supportive therapy, nutrition, and addressing both the physiologic issues of the body in concert with cognitive emotional needs, all inside trauma informed support? Explore with us.

Are you clear on what your needs are? Do you know what you most desire? Can you allow yourself to feel what you're most drawn to? These are just a few of the questions my guest Ben Schick, Senior Executive Coach and Leadership Facilitator, asks his clients to support them to transform where they have been previously stuck in their leadership, their companies, and their lives. In this episode, Ben and I go deep into the interconnection between embodied leadership and internal resilience of our physical bodies, and the ability to speak up for and ask for what you need. Join us.

Dr. Erika Siegel joins me to share about her incredible new publication, The Nourish Me Kitchen book set. This two volume guide to cooking, eating, moving, resting, and living vibrantly is the foundation for new life. In most episodes, I try to be inspiration forward and not hone in on specific products, but these books are too important not to be celebrated. From deep explanations of not just what you need to do, but why you need to do it, to outlining the pillars of health, naturopathic healing, and the evidence based recommendations that are the cornerstone of restoring health, The Nourish Me Kitche is as comprehensive a guidebook as I've ever seen. Join us in this important conversation.

We are turning the table yet again, and my dear friend and intuitive astrologist, Natalie Lakava, is interviewing me about intuition in medicine and being a medical intuitive. As so many of us identify with being an empath or feeling like we are a highly sensitive person in our own experience of others emotions, I felt it was high time to share about my own experience with how I came into alignment with my intuitive gifts and broke free of feeling owned and taken over by them.

I am so thrilled to talk with Susi Amendola, certified yoga therapist, founder of Yoga Now, and author of The Centered Heart, an incredible book of evidence based mind body practices that reduce stress and improve cardiac health.

After her breast cancer has come back in her body, 13 years after the initial diagnosis, Sparky Fletcher started working with Dr. Lela Iduna, guest of a recent HEAL episode about cancer and autoimmune disease. Sparky shares her initial diagnosis and treatment process with breast cancer and what cancer has taught her about living and life. In this incredibly vulnerable and powerful episode, Sparky tells it like it is and stands for each and every one of us to take control of our healthcare team and get the healing we need. This is an episode not to be missed.

Functional Medicine MD, Dr. Lela Iduna joins me to elucidate how cancer and autoimmune disease stem from the very same breakdowns in the immune system and the gut, all things you can take action to heal and prevent or reverse the cancer process.

I reconnect with a dear colleague from Naturopathic Medical School, Dr. Jennifer Karon, to discuss our shared passion for spiritual healing and indigenous Mayan traditions. Turns out, we both have been studying the connections between our energetic spiritual selves and chronic illness, and discovering the limitations of trying to heal people from physical medical approaches alone.

This week we're going to do something a little different. We are turning the table, and I am in the hot seat as the guest. I've invited one of my best friends to the show to interview me, Curt Hill. In this episode, we are doing a research driven scientific review into the true disease of the heart or what really causes heart disease? How do we really need to eat to prevent it? And the shadow side of statins and why they are on the top of my most unliked drug list.

One of the things I love most about HEAL is sharing people's stories of healing and overcoming complex challenges. In this episode, I speak with a dear friend, medical doctor, and fellow plant medicine journeyer who has spent decades healing his own addiction, shame, and living with HIV. This episode flows differently; when Keith began his story, it was so pure and complete I didn't want to interrupt. He shares an intimate journey from feeling trapped in a medical system that hindered his health to becoming an addiction therapist himself.

Ever wonder what a naturopathic physician would do if they were diagnosed with stage 4 cancer? Well, today on Heal, Dr. Kathryn Kloos, fellow naturopathic physician and school classmate of mine, shares about having to face just that with colon cancer.

Mawish Syed shares her story of being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019 and how it prompted her to embark on a profound exploration of the interplay between environmental beauty, health, and the healing journey. Together, we explore the epigenetic factors contributing to illness and focus on the almost always overlooked factor of the experience and toxicity of our physical environment in which we live and work every day and how you can cultivate a sanctuary of healing and renewal.

As we get older, our bodies will change. Our skin, our muscles, our functioning of our organs. But what if most of the low energy, loss of sex drive, dullness, and lack of a sense of lust for life is not a given and can be addressed with the right restorative practices? In this episode, medical doctor and hormone expert Dr. Prudence Hall and I distinguish the world of regenerative medicine and discuss how it is the next frontier to optimal, radiant aging.

I am joined by Gina Cotner, founder and CEO of Athena Executive Services. Together we discuss real, authentic work life balance and what it takes to build a culture of wellness in business today.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Lorna Bush, PhD, joins me as we delve into the profound realm of psychedelic assisted therapy and discuss the importance of intention setting, supported and properly guided therapeutic experiences, and explore the diverse and often truncated integration process.  Today we delve into ketamine as a therapeutic tool for treating severe depression, suicidal ideation, and giving us access to mystic states of wisdom.

I am joined by John and Lorian Roethlein, farmers and founders of Arizona Mushroom Company. From their unexpected transition from high tech headhunters to passionate mushroom cultivators, John and Lorian share their journey and insight into the profound impact of mushrooms as daily food medicine.
