What if health isn’t something you fix — but something you remember?
As we close out 2025 and step into a new year, I wanted to pause and revisit the conversations that truly shifted how we think about healing. This episode brings together six of the most powerful health lessons from this year — conversations that challenged mainstream narratives, validated so many lived experiences, and reminded us that our bodies are wise, not broken.
From ancient Ayurvedic wisdom to modern truths about mold, air quality, hormones, detoxification, and breast implant illness — these episodes didn’t just inform us. They changed us.
In this highlights episode, you’ll hear from experts who helped us ask better questions, advocate for ourselves, and reconnect with what our bodies have been whispering all along.
If you’re heading into 2026 wanting to feel clearer, more energized, and more aligned — this conversation is your invitation to listen differently.
What you'll get out of this episode…
Your body is intelligent — symptoms are messages, not failures
Healing requires safety, not force
How air quality, mold, and environment deeply affect energy and mood
The truth about breast implant illness
Hormonal shifts are real (why they are often dismissed!)
Detox is about processing, not deprivation
