Healing from a Traumatic Brain Injury with Heathar Shepard

You’d be surprised to learn that what we call “Alternative Medicine“ was the ONLY medicine until approximately 100 years ago. Before Big Pharma (which we call "Big Harm-a") healing leaned into the laws of nature and encouraged lifestyle choices that perpetuated wellness. Humans were able to prosper in the absence of synthetic drugs from the beginning of time. Now, with great advances in technology we have been able to intervene in emergencies with great success. The allure of forgoing the discipline of a preventative lifestyle and natural, gentle healing modalities in favor of a Hail Mary intervention when consequential symptoms catch up is pretty strong. Easy to sell. Though Janell and I appreciate the advancements in science and technology, we wondered: why does Allopathy want you to have amnesia to the powers of healing that are inherently gifted to us through nature? Isn’t it also curious that self-healing is such a threat to the medical establishment? Wait, what "establishment?" In this episode, we offer a historical account of the characters and their monopolous methodology which created what would become known as the Medical Industrial Complex.

  The buzz around ozone therapy is on the rise... but it has actually been around since before mid-last century! The first paper professing ozone's healing powers were published in 1936. In a nutshell: ozone = super charged oxygen. Since microbes are unable to survive in oxygen-rich environments, bolstering oxygen levels is like kryptonite to bacteria, mold, and other pathogens. Ozone has also been shown to reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, reduce brain fog, and facilitate in wound healing. Let's not forget the mitochondrial boosting benefits!

  "Parasites are only an issue 'over there' in 3d world nations and for a handful of unlucky folks" WRONG. Hey, most people think this is a fact, including much of the medical world. The sobering truth is that we are constantly exposed to the sources and causes of these hitchhikers and thus WE ALL need to periodically detox and clear them to regain balance in not only our body, but in our mind and spirit. Accurate testing protocols have yet to be designed, adding obscurity to the true status parasitic occupation poses, which growing evidence points to being at the root of most chronic disease. Heavy metal toxification goes hand in hand with the presence of these invaders and that's a whole other can-o'-worms (excuse the pun) we'll explore in this episode. Kim Rogers is a seasoned wellness professional with over 18 years of experience in Western medicine. Her journey in the medical field took an unexpected turn when her own health challenges led her on a transformative path. Struggling with endometriosis, parasites, Lyme disease, and mold poisoning, she embarked on a personal quest to stop taking pharmaceuticals and strive for a more holistic and natural approach. Inspired by her own healing journey, Kim founded RogersHood Apothecary in December of 2021 and invented the globally known, best selling, and viral ParaFy Parasite Cleanse kit. This kit consists of high-quality, hand made herbal tinctures aimed at detoxing unwanted parasites, worms, candida, heavy metals & toxins while also promoting well-being. Her website and mission, RogersHood, gained widespread recognition after Kim's personal results about parasites went viral on TikTok and Instagram, gaining millions of views and hundreds of thousands of followers crowning her the “Worm Queen”. With a commitment to transparency and quality, Kim's products have resonated with a diverse audience seeking natural solutions for various health concerns.

If the topic of finances is a little tummy-turning, you are not alone. We have been programmed to think of money in very limited terms, and to many--especially creatives, intuitives, healers and rebels, financial savvy might just feel like a big ol' club that we're not a part of. Enter our guest, Hillary Augustine, author of The Currency Paradigm. She joins us today to explore a recognition, reframing, and reunification of the alternative forms of abundance that flow when we step out of what she calls the Misguided Money Matrix. “Anytime a currency isn’t shared or measured, it’s less likely to be valued” says Hillary. Time and Money are quickly accepted by the world as quantifiable currencies. Energy and Space.... well, those are qualitative currencies whose value is more subtle. Hillary Augustine is here to show us how the dialectic between the qualitative and quantitative can heal and help craft your unique path to financial wholeness, working from the inside out. Through her coaching and consulting, Hillary bends limits and challenges norms. Her unique way of seeing and being is mirrored in her writing, her life, and her work. She has completed both a Master's in Counseling and a Master's in Accounting, representing her love of learning and exploration. Her favorite life degree comes from traveling. She crosses both literal and metaphorical borders as her free-spirited, non-conformist self soaks in the medicine of journeying.

While accessories and apps for blocking blue light and adding some red light into your home are a step in the right direction for managing toxic light environments, it’s not enough. Most people don’t know anything about lighting and its extraordinary impact on health. As the lighting industry developed fluorescents, compact fluorescents, and LEDs to deliver much-needed energy efficiency, it focused on lighting spaces instead of light’s interaction with the human body. At the time, the positive health benefits of near-infrared energy were largely unknown.The near-infrared spectrum that is present in natural sunlight was not included in these energy efficient bulbs. They only included the visible light spectrum. Our guest Scott Zimmerman- optics engineer and multiple patent holder, illuminates us on the topic of the nonvisible light spectrum and why near-infrared light exposure matters to our health and what to do to improve our lighting environment.
