I have a huge favor to ask you. Can you please help spread the word that being sick is just a part of aging? I’m serious. The idea that we are destined to feel worse over time is keeping so many of us away from our health potential. Now, I’m not saying you need to become superman or superwoman overnight, but I am saying that becoming a lesser version of yourself is NOT just “how life goes.” See full show notes for this episode HERE.

Tell me, is this you? At around 20 years old you felt healthy- maybe at an ideal weight, with lots of energy, and confidence in your body? And then you woke up decades later, nearly 40 pounds overweight, tired all the time, and uncomfortable in your own skin?   You’re not alone. According to our guest Dave Sherwin, this is the most common form of weight gain in first world countries.   If this is you, would you rather go on a Diet, or an “Un-Diet?” Yeah… me too. If you’re sick of bouncing from one “guru” or “expert” to the next when it comes to health or weight loss, you’ve found the right place. There is no wagon, and there is no falling off.   In this week’s episode, we discuss with Dave Sherwin the 7 Principles of Health that will get you off the hamster wheel of diets, quick fixes, and self masochism that can often come from “dieting.”  Dave has been helping people get on the health train for most of his life and drops some knowledge bombs when it comes to common sense, and tried-and-true methods of approaching healthy living.   I’ll be marrying Dave’s principles with some KILLER essential oil tips! This is a two-parter extravaganza of tips, inspiration, and most importantly, some Principles worth adopting.   See full show notes for this episode HERE.

If you are like me, then you might have started to think of plants as those little bottles neatly arranged on a shelf. My lavender is purple, eucalyptus is green, and frankincense is pink. How often do you think of the actual plant though? Do you know what peppermint leaves look like? How about geranium? If you’re struggling to picture them, then you’re not alone. That’s why I sat down with ethnobotanist Kerry Hughes, to help us learn a little more about the plants outside the bottle.  Kerry gives us a sneak peak into her books as she describes some popular plants and their uses beyond essential oils. She also sheds light on why plant medicine is often not the subject of clinical trials despite hundreds of years of use by indigenous peoples.  This episode is power packed and will leave you rethinking your garden for next year.
