What's The Juice

Friendly reminder: I am an herbalist, not a medical doctor. I love plants, PubMed, and combining tradition with science. My mission with this episode is to break down everything I know about post-COVID syndrome and get to the root of how we can fully heal our bodies after experiencing infection or prolonged periods of stress. In this episode I will share what I've learned from other professionals...

Ever since getting COVID from my dad and experiencing GI symptoms as my main presentation, the microbiome has clearly been at the top of my mind. I just got my GI Map results back from my doctor (which is an advanced DNA based stool test that looks for overgrowths of different pathogens), and we found some interesting bugs which reinforce that oral/gut connection I've been stressing in recent epis...

Most of us are taught to brush 2-3 times a day and floss regularly, but what we aren't told is the whole story on WHY these practices are so important. Taking care of our mouths is more than just protecting our smile… it about boosting our immunity, protecting against autoimmune conditions, and preventing infection. Since Dr. Victoria has been furloughed during the COVID crisis, she's dedicated he...

My podcast has been silent since May 25th, and I'm finally ready to tell you what happened. This is an episode that I've been ferociously putting off for months because honestly, I'm still actively processing everything that happened. This episode of What's the Juice wasn't premeditated. It wasn't a scheduled recording, or part of our season one production plans. And yet, nothing over the past six...

THIS WEEK ON WHAT'S THE JUICE PODCAST Unless you're new here, you've most likely heard me gush about my experience at ArborVitae School of Traditional Herbalism .

Welcome back to another installment of WHO IS SHE . This week we're getting to know a plant I think we can all vibe with right now… it's our girl, AVENA SATIVA. So, technically our girl avena sativa isn't an adaptogen but she totally moonlights as one. Avena is actually a nervine that responds well to adaptogens so she's often combined with them so she can work her healing magic. She's nourishing,...

Well, the time has come and this episode is just me, my microphone, and my herbalism school notes.... And I gotta admit, I freaking loved recording this episode because it gave me the opportunity to spill the juice on something I'm so so SO passionate about. As if it wasn't already clear that talking about herbs turns me into a serious Nerd with a capital N, this episode totally gives me away.  Ok...
