EP 17: Self-Healing and Rejuvenation through Energy Medicine - with Madison King

In this episode we’re exploring the topic of Naturopathic doctors and naturopathic medicine - which is a system that uses natural remedies to help your body heal itself. Did you know that Naturopathic doctors (otherwise called Naturopaths) can help you with a really wide variety of health issues? They can! Personally, I’ve found that they can be especially helpful when it comes to hormone-related issues, and also in treating various different types of chronic illness in a really natural, holistic, and non-invasive manner. So… should you add a Naturopath to your personal wellness team? Perhaps! I’ll tell you what… stay tuned to listen to my conversation with Naturopathic doctor, David Sandstrom - I think it will help you answer that very question.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Some of the main differences between how naturopathic doctors and allopathic doctors work with their patients. The 6 primary tenets of naturopathic medicine. What a visit to a naturopathic doctor tends to look like. Homeopathic remedies - what are they and how do they work? David’s personal approach to holistic health and wellness. ~   VIDEO VERSION of this episode: https://youtu.be/kZohl_wX-yk   SHOW NOTES with LINKS TO RESOURCES mentioned: www.thrivesisterthrive.com/25     CONNECT WITH STACEE on Instagram: @thrivesisterthrive  

Science is now telling us that our modern lighting, especially our heavy use of LED bulbs in our homes and inside all of our screens, is damaging to our health. It’s especially damaging to our Circadian Rhythms, which is very bad news because they control many of the fundamental biological processes in our bodies - and when they’re messed up, we’re messed up, big time! Luckily, there are things we can do to mitigate this damage, but first we need to understand a bit about what’s going on - and that’s what this episode is all about! Some highlights from this episode: What exactly is excessive artificial blue light? How’s it different from natural blue light? Where is it hiding in our homes? Why you’ll want to consider eliminating as much artificial blue light as possible, and the dangers of not doing so. 3 ways you can reduce that vast majority of the artificial blue light in your home starting today. ~ SHOW NOTES with LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED: www.thrivesisterthrive.com/24   CONNECT WITH STACEE on IG: @thrivesisterthrive

Ze’ev has been researching water for many years, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the things that affect our drinking water.

Most people drink herbal tea when they have a cold, or just because it tastes wonderful, or sometimes to unwind and relax… but did you know that there’s A LOT more that herbal teas can do for us when used medicinally. In fact, once we learn about the medicinal benefits of certain herbs, and begin to drink herbal infusions, such as tea regularly, they can have a profound effect not only on how well we feel in the present moment, but also on our long-term health and wellness. So they’re an amazing tool for all of us to have in our natural medicine toolbox. I’ve been using medicinal teas for a long time, so I thought it would be a great idea to bring an actual herbalist, someone who studies and works with medicinal herbs, onto the show to give us a peek into this magical and powerful world! Some highlights from this episode: Some of the most common health challenges that women over 40 encounter, that can be either avoided, or alleviated, with medicinal teas. Some specific herbs that are helpful for some of the common symptoms that we all encounter at one time or another - and sometimes on repeat.

The proper way to prepare medicinal teas so that you get the most out of them. ~   SHOW NOTES with LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED:  www.thrivesisterthrive.com/20   VIDEO VERSION of this episode https://youtu.be/PvRT1A2P0GE   CONNECT WITH STACEE: @thrivesisterthrive

So of course, I’m hoping this chat will inspire you to make indoor plants a part of your living space if they’re not already.

So... my friend Sarah and I are going to do our very best to convince you that it’s super worth doing, by sharing our own stories and the many wonderful benefits that we both experience by making sure we get outside every day, at least for a little bit.
