  • Summa, summa, summatime! An invitation to slow down, cool off + make some medicine with me

    Summa, summa, summatime! An invitation to slow down, cool off + make some medicine with me

    The energy of peak summer is upon us.

    It's been HOT and the speed of the everything-all-at-onceness with all the plants coming in, the quickening energy of social time, long days, short nights, holidays, travel, adventures, and so much more.

    How can you better navigate all these energies by connecting with the plants and your own body?

    Today I'm offering a glimpse into three different summer themed episodes to support you in this season.

    First, I share an invitation to slow down to the rhythm of your womb, to really tune into what phase of your cycle you're in and to orient yourself to your body time as a counterbalance to the quickening of summer.

    Second, you'll hear about some plant allies that can help you cool off in the summer heat, with some insights into working with some of my absolute faves like California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) and the beach rose (Rosa rugosa) among others.

    And finally, you'll get a little immersion into the power and convenience of vinegar medicine. And how food as medicine is one of the best ways to be sure you're both preserving your harvests and actually taking your herbs!

    I'm excited for you to hear all of these snippets.

    • Free guide: Get started tracking your cycle naturally (FAM)
    • Episode 28: Slow down to the rhythms of your womb
    • Episode 74: Cool the summer heat in your body
    • Episode 82: Late summer medicine making

  • Interstitial cystitis? Herbs, nutrition + clinical wisdom on this often misdiagnosed bladder pain syndrome with Jillian Bar-av

    Interstitial cystitis? Herbs, nutrition + clinical wisdom on this often misdiagnosed bladder pain syndrome with Jillian Bar-av
    Jun 25 2024

    If you haven't ever heard of Interstitial Cystitis (IC) aka Bladder Pain Syndrome, you're not alone -- but it's actually a lot more common than you may think.

    IC might look like all the symptoms of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI's) though it lacks the bacteria that cause those infections. But because it's exceedingly common to not test for bacteria before prescribing antibiotics for a UTI, it can often go under the radar for years (yes years) without a correct diagnosis.

    For some, interstitial cystitis can be debilitating, and there aren't a ton of clear answers on what the causes are or how to effectively treat it.

    So I'm excited to bring you today's guest herbalist and nutritionist Jillian Bar-av who has both experienced this condition herself and specializes in working clinically with folks who have bladder conditions like IC.

    She shares about the physiology of interstitial cystitis, and also some of the research around what differentiates IC from things like UTI's and pelvic floor dysfunction (and how commonly these show up together).

    She also gives insight into some key nutritional strategies and essential herbal allies to consider depending on the specific presentation in your body (or your client's body).

    Like so many chronic conditions, a one-size-fits-all approach is likely not going to be as effective as an individualized integrative therapeutic approach like Jillian shares about.

    Quite often, IC requires tending to various systems of the body, including not only the genito-urinary tract but also digestive system, nervous system and overall pelvic health.

    Listen to learn:

    • what interstitial cystitis is, and how to differentiate it from recurrent UTI's
    • some simple dietary strategies to reduce IC symptoms
    • how the nerve bundles are different in the bladders of IC patients
    • some key herbs to consider for bladder pain, spasms, inflammation, etc
    • why including nervines and adaptogens may be essential for this condition as well

  • The many layers of herbal care for the fertility journey + beyond [interview with me from That Fertile Feeling]

    The many layers of herbal care for the fertility journey + beyond [interview with me from That Fertile Feeling]
    Jun 18 2024

    Click here to send me your Q’s, comments, lovenotes, or a quick message here :)

    What happens when we look beyond the basics of "herbs for fertility?"

    Because let's be honest that quite often folks who are on a fertility journey, trying to conceive, are experiencing far more than a simple hormonal imbalance.

    Though of course, some folks are... and we can look in that direction too.

    The truth is though, that the path of TTC can be a long and meandering one for some, perhaps even resembling more of a spiral than a straight line.

    So how can you support yourself with herbs? Your body, your mind, your spirit, as you traverse these many layers of the fertility continuum...

    This episode is a tiny taste of what's possible, from the lens of my authentic and in-the-moment answering of questions with Françoise Molenaar from That Fertile Feeling podcast.

    She interviewed me and I liked the conversation enough that I thought. "why not repost this?"

    And since this week is SOLSTICE week, it's a perfect time to reflect on on the buoyant vibrancy of fertility.

    So listen in to learn:

    • my story of how I became an "herbal womb wisdom keeper" (Françoise's words)
    • the best ways to get started working with herbs for cyclical health
    • why I think incorporating herbs for softening and moistening is a lost art
    • some herbs to support the womb-heart connection and miscarriage loss
    • some herbs to support the spirit layer of the fertility journey
    • my spontaneous intuitive reflections of why I think we're in an infertility crisis


    Resouces:

    • Today's shownotes: Looking beyond "herbs for fertility"
    • Episode 29: Fertility rituals + the mystery of time with Caroline Grace Ashurst
    • Episode 34: What if your womb was an altar?
    • Episode 80: Cultivating receptivity
    • Episode 124: Empowered pelvic exams & fertility wisdom w Françoise Molenaar
    • Free guided visualization: Womb connection and clearing meditation
