Sleep struggles are one of the most common complaints I hear — and I’ve lived through them myself. For years, no matter what I tried, I would wake up unrefreshed, restless, or wired-but-tired. At first, I thought it was just stress, or that maybe I needed to clean up my evening routine. But the truth went deeper: mold was stealing my minerals, and my nervous system was paying the price.

Mold Isn’t Just “Out There” — It’s In Your Terrain

Most people think of mold as something you can just get rid of — move out of the house, clean up the exposure, and you’re done. But for many of us, the impact doesn’t stop when we leave the environment. Mycotoxins can persist inside the body, binding to minerals and disrupting the rhythms that regulate energy, stress, and sleep.

This is why even long after exposure, so many people remain...

From Frustration to Flow: Recognizing Your Body’s Natural Healing Process

Have you ever felt stuck in your healing journey — frustrated that it’s not happening fast enough, or wondering why progress seems to come in fits and starts? I’ve been there, and I know how discouraging it can feel when your body doesn’t cooperate with the timelines or expectations you have in mind.

But here’s the truth: real healing rarely looks the way we expect it to. It’s not linear, it’s not always obvious, and it definitely doesn’t happen on demand. More often than not, healing feels messy — and that’s actually a good sign.

In this episode of Rewilded Wellness, I explore how to shift from frustration into flow by recognizing and respecting your body’s natural healing process.

Healing Isn’t Linear (And That’s Normal)

We’ve been conditioned to treat our bodies like machines: put in the right i...

Building Your Voltage: The Thyroid-Gut-Circadian Triangle

In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most foundational aspects of human health: building your cellular voltage — and why it’s the key to supporting your thyroid, gut, and overall circadian biology.

My Story: From Reactive Mode to Rebuilding Voltage

Five years ago, I was living in transitional housing after leaving a water-damaged home that had left my body highly reactive. Every little thing — sneezing, itching, fatigue, brain fog — set off a cascade of reactions. I quickly realized that quick fixes wouldn’t work. True healing requires creating an environment where your body can thrive.

This is when I learned about voltage — the electrical charge of your cells — and how critical it is for metabolism, thyroid function, detoxification, and immune resilience.

Terrain Work: Why Your Body's Story Matters More Than Your Symptoms

🎧 Listen to the Full Episode: You can hear the complete story and all the details on iTunes, Spotify, or YouTube

After 11 years of tissue mineral analysis and 44 personal tests, I've learned that sustainable healing isn't about chasing symptoms or following one-size-fits-all protocols. It's about understanding your unique terrain - your genetics, constitution, life story, and the environmental factors that shaped your health journey.

In this vulnerable birthday episode, I share the biggest insights from my decade-plus healing journey, including how I finally moved from survival mode to true optimization. I dive into why personalized medicine must go beyond lab results to include your genetic bottlenecks, astrological constitution, and shadow work - elements completely missing from traditional clinical approaches.

What you'll discover: • Why genetics "load the gun" but environment "pulls the trigger" - and what this m...

The Most 'Boring' Health Work (And Why It's Revolutionary)

In this birthday month deep dive, I'm sharing the profound realizations that have emerged from 11 years of quarterly hair mineral testing and my journey into constitutional herbalism. As we transition from Leo's fixed fire into Virgo's mutable earth energy, it's the perfect time to explore what real, lasting health transformation actually looks like.

Spoiler alert: it's not what wellness culture has taught you to expect.

After 44 hair tests and working with hundreds of clients, I've discovered that the most revolutionary thing you can do for your health is also the most "boring" - getting your foundations right through slow, constitutional medicine. But here's why this approach is actually radical: it works WITH your body's intelligence instead of against it.

In this episode, I explore:

You're Not Broken (But That's Not the Whole Story): Why We Need Nuanced Conversations in Wellness

🎧 Listen to the Full Episode: You can hear the complete story and all the details on iTunes, Spotify, or YouTube

In this episode, I'm calling out the spiritual bypassing that's everywhere in the wellness space right now. From "you just need courage, not healing" to "you're not broken" - these oversimplified messages are missing the complex reality of being human.

After 11 years of quarterly hair mineral testing and watching my body respond to life, I've learned that we need BOTH courage AND healing. We need nuanced conversations that honor the whole human experience - the beautiful AND the messy.

I break down why the "positive vibes only" approach to wellness is actually keeping people stuck, why your body isn't broken but might still have terrain worth addressing, and how we can hold multiple truths simultaneously without falling into victim mentality OR spiritual bypassing.

Your Evolution from Swimming Upstream to Flowing with Your Body's Wisdom

🎧 Listen to the Full Episode: You can hear the complete story and all the details on iTunes, Spotify, or YouTube

I've been soaking up this magical Leo season, picking berries at local farms and making plant infusions that feel like exactly what my body needs. It got me thinking about flow versus force - and how we've all been conditioned to swim upstream against our bodies instead of working with their natural wisdom.

In this episode, I'm sharing what my garden taught me about healing, why I've made some bold boundary decisions in my practice, and how to move beyond the endless root cause hunting that keeps so many people stuck in health rabbit holes.

I dive into a powerful case study of a 49-year-old client whose previous functional medicine approach had her on hormone precursors to "fix" imbalanced labs, while completely missing the terrain story her body was telling. When we looked at her hair mineral analys...

Composting vs. Cleansing: Why Parasite Obsession Keeps People Stuck

🎧 Listen to the Full Episode: You can hear the complete story and all the details on iTunes, Spotify, or YouTube

Recently I shared some things on Instagram about the dogma in the holistic health community and what the opposite of it is. The opposite of dogma is fluidity - staying open to new information and evolution. It's discernment - using wisdom rather than rigid rules. It's embodied knowing - trusting your body's intelligence over external authorities. It's adaptability - adjusting based on what's actually working. And it's curiosity - staying in questions rather than fixed answers.

And then I asked people what dogma - or things that they've been told they have to do to heal - are they confused by. And one of them was 'Do I have to do parasite cleanses?'

Which is a great topic, so I figured it was worthy of its whole entire own episode. Because let's be honest - parasites are being talked about everywhere these da...

Your Body Isn't Meant to Be Forced Into Submission

What if the way we've been approaching healing is fundamentally imbalanced? In this episode, I share a deeply personal journey from forcing protocols to embracing flow, and why this shift matters for all of us - especially women.

I open with a story from my recent new moon ritual at the wild spring where I collect my water, exploring how our relationship with the elements can become medicine rather than just another item on our wellness checklist.

Then I dive into a conversation I had with Amanda from The Healer Revolution podcast (episode drops in September!) about an intuitive choice I made before a recent massage - taking the homeopathic remedy Cuprum Metallicum to support my fascia and connective tissue. This seemingly simple decision opens up a much bigger conversation about copper as the metal of Venus, the archetypa...
