In this episode of LightBody Radio, Dr. Lara May sits down with Martha Wright, a shamanic medicine woman whose work blends Celtic spirituality, shamanic energy healing, grief rituals, trauma education, somatic awareness, and executive coaching. Martha shares the deeply personal journey that led her to this work—from early intuitive experiences and spiritual awakenings to a period of chronic illness that ultimately became the catalyst for answering a powerful inner calling. What began as a search for healing evolved into a path of studying Reiki, core shamanism, somatic healing, and ancestral Celtic traditions. Together, they explore how intuition, ancestral wisdom, ritual, and embodied healing can help individuals reclaim their agency, release stored trauma and grief, and reconnect with their deeper purpose. This conversation is an invitation to listen more closely to your own inner guidance and explore what it means to awaken the healer within. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026. All rights reserved.

Activating Your 2026 Light Code: Creating the Year from Coherence Welcome to the first Wellness Illuminated episode of 2026. This is not a conversation about resolutions, hustling harder, or fixing yourself because the calendar changed. Instead, Dr. Lara May invites you into a threshold moment—an intentional activation of the energetic architecture of your year. In this episode, we explore why so many New Year intentions collapse by February and how a dysregulated nervous system quietly sabotages long-term healing, vision, and momentum. From a functional medicine and nervous-system–informed perspective, you’ll learn why creation follows your state of being, not just your goals. This episode introduces the concept of your 2026 Light Code—the frequency, identity, and internal coherence that will organize your year from the inside out. Rather than asking “What do I want to accomplish?”, you’ll be guided to a far more powerful question: What state am I creating from? This is an invitation to begin 2026 grounded, regulated, and aligned—so your year unfolds from coherence, not survival. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026. All rights reserved.

In this powerful episode of Light Body Radio, we explore what’s possible when persistence meets emerging neuroscience. Diagnosed with stage three Parkinson’s and facing early cognitive decline, today’s guest refused to accept a predetermined outcome—and instead began a deep investigation into neuroprotection, brain cell health, and the body’s innate capacity for recovery. This conversation unpacks the science behind neurological resilience, including glial cell support, glymphatic system function, and cutting-edge research that challenges the belief that neurodegeneration is always progressive. It’s an inspiring and informative discussion for anyone navigating neurological conditions, brain health concerns, or seeking hope beyond conventional prognoses. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026.

As the year comes to a close, many of us feel a mix of relief, exhaustion, reflection, and quiet grief—all at once. In this Wellness Illuminated episode, Dr. Lara May invites you into a grounding conversation about completion and why true healing and renewal cannot happen without it. Burnout is often blamed on doing too much, but what if it actually comes from what was never fully finished—unresolved stress, unprocessed emotions, postponed grief, or seasons of life you’ve outgrown but haven’t released? From a functional medicine and nervous system perspective, unfinished experiences keep the body stuck in survival mode, quietly draining your energy. In this episode, Dr. Lara May explores the science and energetics of completion and guides you through a sacred pause designed to help clear burnout residue from your nervous system, physiology, and energy field—so you don’t unconsciously carry it into the new year. This is not about resolutions or rushing ahead. It’s about honoring what has been, so you can move forward with clarity, steadiness, and integrity. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2025.
