Joette: Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®. So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Sinus infections and other stuffy situations Kate: (01:00) Welcome back, everyone, to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. In today’s episode, Joette will be talking about how we handle stuffy situations, you know, the ones that require endless tissues, nasal rinses, maybe a hot shower to get relief from the steam, and anything else that brings comfort to help with the pain and congestion of a sinus infection. And worse yet, sometimes those sinus infections can even go to our ears and cause earaches. Joette, sinus infections seem to last a lifetime when we’re experiencing them, and if it’s allergy season, that can make it even worse. Joette: Yes, I suffered for years from allergic states, but now I no longer suffer. I don’t at all, actually. We have our homeopathic medicines that we can turn to … should I need to. But it’s so occasional now, I might use a dose or two, and it’s gone for another year. So, we don’t have to sit in a stuffy suffering or resort to drugs. What is Practical Homeopathy®? Kate: (02:00) I think you should take a minute, just talk about what is it that you’re referring to when you refer to homeopathy? Joette: Yes, because I’m not referring to just any homeopathy. This is different. What I teach is a method that I call Practical Homeopathy®. Why we call it that is because it’s straightforward. And it’s protocol driven, which means that there’s a specific condition, then we use a specific homeopathic remedy. The potency and frequency are often baked into the whole protocol. And it makes it easy for families to confidently use homeopathy instead of wondering, “Oh my. What remedy again? What potency? What frequency? How often should I be using this?” I make it extremely easy. It’s like a recipe of sorts. When the symptoms first start presenting, you can address them right away, even if you have a few remedies or a small kit at home. And I hope that, should this condition plague you or someone in your family, that you have these medicines at home already. Because there’s nothing worse than saying, “Okay, I know what to use, but, ohhhh, I don’t own it.” Kate: Right, right. So, as you listen to these podcasts, read Joette’s blogs, be writing down the names of those remedies and start purchasing them when you can. We say, Joette, that we don’t buy shoes. (Well, maybe we buy a few shoes.) But instead of buying lots of shoes, we accumulate homeopathic medicines. Joette: Yeah, it becomes a source of pride when you go to your cabinet and say, “Oh wow, look at all the choices that I have for all the different conditions that my family suffers or may suffer.” A closer look at Boiron’s SinusCalm® Joette: (3:33) So, getting back to sinus infections, let’s start with something that you can definitely find at a local drug store or even many grocery stores or even big box stores. Yes, these homeopathic medicines can be found there. And usually, they are the combination homeopathic medicines manufactured by a homeopathic pharmacy, such as Boiron. And one of my favorites is SinusCalm® made by Boiron. And yes, you can find this in grocery stores. Now I’ll share some other single homeopathic medicines shortly, but this is a great option to start with. And it’s so easy and so accessible, and it looks like any other drug of sorts because it’s not in the little blue tubes (although we also consider those), but they’re in bubble packs, and you’ll see that it’s got all the directions and everything is laid out perfectly. Kate: Yeah. I keep those Boiron combination remedies around. I like to have them on hand just in case, ...

Joette: Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®. So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Remaining Relevant in Your Family with Practical Homeopathy® Kate: (01:00) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and today we’re going to do something a little different. And honestly, it’s kind of special. Because earlier today, the three of us — Joette, Nathalie and I — found ourselves deep in conversation, and it felt really important, and we wanted to share these little nuggets with you. So, today we’re talking about what it means to stay connected to our adult children and grandchildren as life shifts and roles change. Woven through that conversation, you’re going to find a beautiful realization that knowing homeopathy doesn’t just help us keep our families healthy, it helps keep us relevant in their lives. And it gives us a way to show up, to be useful, to be present, and that presence naturally brings us closer. So, today we’re inviting you in to eavesdrop just a little … to pull up a chair and join us as we pick up on that conversation right where we left off. Three mothers; one conclusion Joette: (01:58) Hi friends. We’re happy that you’re here with us today — eavesdropping, as Kate put it. We have three mothers here, and we’ve all come to the same conclusion. Right, Nathalie, wouldn’t you say that? Nathalie: Exactly. Kate: Yeah, it was such a fun conversation, and we thought that the listeners could benefit by some of the things that we’re saying. And I had a pivotal moment when I was talking to my daughter. And Joette, you were the one that says over and over again how homeopathy keeps you relevant. And recently my daughter had several illnesses back-to-back. And, Nathalie, your son, what happened with him? Nathalie: My son had a major hip surgery, and this was very recent. So, it definitely brought some things to light. Joette: You said though, Nathalie, it didn’t just bring things to light. It made you closer to him. Nathalie: It made me much closer to him, partly because we’ve spent so much time together these last few weeks, but also because I’ve been able to help him and be there for him in a way he didn’t realize I could. It’s their realization that they need us Joette: (03:02) That’s it. It’s their realization. They have to come to that realization. And as I was saying earlier, the sicker they are, the more they need us, the more they’re willing to learn from us. And I think it was so much fun because we started to talk about it’s not just about giving them the remedies and bringing them their bone stock and keeping them warm or whatever they need to keep them comfortable. It’s also an opportunity to kind of get in there a little bit more, especially when the children are adults or young adults. Sometimes we think, “You know what? I think I missed that idea about how important it is to uphold our family name. Or maybe I didn’t stress enough how shame can be a good thing in life, so we want to do what’s right. Or maybe I missed the point …” And so, you’re thinking: This is an opportunity. You administer the medicine, you listen to them, and then maybe you give them a couple of words of wisdom that come from the mother. That might have come … remind them: “You know what? This came from your grandfather.” “You know what your grandmother used to always say?” These are opportunities to be close to them when they’re most in need. I don’t mean to say we’re taking advantage of their suffering, but in a way it’s an ...

Introduction: From Frustration and Overwhelm to Empowerment and Healing Kate: (01:00) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and today we’re diving into a story that I believe many of you will resonate with. It’s the journey from frustration and overwhelm to empowerment and genuine healing through Practical Homeopathy®. I’m joined by Nicole here today. She’s a homeschooling mom of seven, a registered nurse and one of Joette’s Mastermind students. Nicole has walked through The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® program, Mastery and now serves as one of Joette’s Ambassadors and is in the Mastermind program. But more importantly, she’s someone who came to homeopathy the way so many of us do. Not skipping but crawling … searching for answers. Nicole’s story is raw, relatable, and incredibly encouraging: from debilitating migraines and autoimmune diagnoses to parasites, hormone issues and more. She has lived it, and she has uprooted so much of it using Practical Homeopathy®. You’ll hear more about that in just a minute. So, on today’s podcast, she’s going to share how she went from her chronic illness and conventional limitations and years of searching to raising a family that relies solely on homeopathy. She now has a busy, thriving practice teaching homeopathy and helping her clients regain their health. Nicole is here today to share what she’s learned, what she teaches, and why she believes there is hope for those who feel like they’ve tried everything. And this is going to be good. Welcome, Nicole. Nicole: Thank you so much, Kate, for that beautiful introduction. Thank you for having me. I’m super-excited to be on with you today, and I cannot wait to dive into all of this. Kate: Yes, I am excited, too, because you mentioned just a minute ago, while we were talking before the recording, how you said that this has changed your life. Can you just elaborate on that just a bit? Nicole: Yeah. I mean, just a bit is so hard because it’s been so profound. This has just touched my life in so many different ways, not just from a business perspective and a shift, but it’s also affected my family greatly. And then, as you mentioned in the beginning, just on a personal health struggle, I’ve conquered so many different ailments through Practical Homeopathy®. So, I’m ever grateful for all of the education that I’ve learned with Joette. Kate: And you went from ...

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Broken Bones Are No Match for the Intelligent, Orderly Action of Well-Chosen Homeopathic Remedies Kate: (01:00) Welcome back to the podcast, everyone. Today we have another jaw-dropping, bone-shattering episode with Joette. We’re going to hear from Joette about her decades of experience with broken bones — how she’s handled those situations and the details — broken all the way down for you, even case management. Hi, Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. Kate: Where do we start with this topic? Be prepared in case of emergency Joette: (01:23) Yeah, no one wants a broken bone, right? And it’s always so shocking and scary when it happens, especially at that moment. You’re wondering if that bone will ever be the same. It’s a very scary thing, and it can be for any age. But especially as people age, it’s even more important. So, we need to know what to do and own the medicines and have them on hand. That’s important. It’s one thing to know what to use and not have them on hand. In the end, it becomes very frustrating. Kate: I know we take our remedies — our homeopathic medicines for emergencies — with us when we’re on the go because that’s the definition of an emergency. You just don’t know when it’s going to happen. Joette: That’s right. What is homeopathy and Practical Homeopathy®? Joette: (02:03) So, I want to take a step back first and start at the very beginning. Since you’re listening to this podcast, you might already know what homeopathy is, but for those who are new to homeopathy and listening for the first time, I want to explain what it is. It’s often confused with the general term natural medicine or naturopathy, et cetera, referring to kind of a broad category: modalities such as herbs, essential oils, supplements, vitamins, et cetera. Kate: Yeah. We hear that all the time, don’t we? “Oh yes, I know what homeopathy is.” And come to find out they think it’s other things. Joette: They think it’s vitamins or nutrients or something. Kate: Yeah. Joette: But that’s not the case. So, homeopathy — let’s give you a definition — is a system, a very specific system of medicine that is fundamentally different from allopathic medicine, which is the conventional method and also other natural healing modalities. So, let’s start with allopathic medicine, which is conventional. It tends to focus heavily on suppressing symptoms — just getting rid of the pain at the cost of something else, perhaps. But in contrast, homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanism because it’s always looking to correct the problem (that’s what fever’s about; that’s what pain and swelling is about) and correct that underlying imbalance that causes the symptoms in the first place. So, symptoms are not worthy of being removed. They’re worthy of the underlying problem being corrected, so the symptoms are no longer needed. And now Practical Homeopathy®, which is what I teach, is the method of using homeopathy in a more straightforward, protocol-driven — so formulaic — way for families (especially mothers and grandmothers because they take that so seriously) to confidently heal their families at home, even in conjunction with modern medicine. Kate: It’s pretty exciting because you’ve trained actually hundreds of homeopaths through your Academy of Practical Homeopathy®, and they’re helping people all over the world ...

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, Practical Homeopathy®. Introduction: Finding Your True North Kate: (00:58) Welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and today I’m joined by my friend, Kelsey. Kelsey has come up with a theme for this podcast, and it’s called “Finding Your True North.” And I can’t wait for her to tell you why she’s chosen that title for today’s theme of the podcast, but I want to tell you a little bit about Kelsey. So, as a mother whose greatest charge is caring for her family, Kelsey has seen Practical Homeopathy® work powerfully in her own life, from healing stubborn boils and gut issues to resolving a serious staph infection in hours, as well as insomnia with a single well-chosen remedy. So, like Sherlock Holmes, she knows it’s not just what we know but what we can prove. And today, Kelsey will share how, after exploring far and wide, she’s arrived back where she started, only now with a deeper appreciation and understanding. So, Kelsey, I can’t wait to hear your stories, and I want to welcome you to the podcast. Kelsey: Thank you so much, Kate. It’s so good to see you today. Kate: So, Kelsey, tell us a little bit about your background. Kelsey: Well, Kate, as you know, I was privileged to take the Gateway I and II with you and Michele many years ago, and I was hooked. I actually ended up taking Gateway I and II for a solid year. I just kept coming back again and again. Kate: We’ve known each other for quite a while. Kelsey: Truly. And it was the community that I enjoyed so much and the camaraderie and just kind of finding a place to ask my questions about homeopathy. It was such a wonderful opportunity. So, that was my first real entry into homeopathy. Kate: Right. Kelsey: In kind of the natural progression, I took Joette’s larger courses. And so those blew my mind because it was just unraveling the onion of learning. I did all of her larger courses, and then after taking Joette’s larger courses — around that time — The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® was opening up. And so, I naturally dove right in and was a part of the pioneer class, graduating in 2022. And I just loved that. It offered a solid foundation for students studying homeopathy in history and in the materia medica. But I think what I loved most was the interviews. Joette actually interviewed the late Robin Murphy, and it was such a great opportunity to learn from one of the masters. Kate: Right. That was such a good interview. I loved that, and it’s too bad that he’s no longer with us. But we use his repertory and materia medica all the time, don’t we, Kelsey? Kelsey: We do. It’s a foundation of everything Joette teaches. I mean, it’s one of my favorite books to have around me. Kate: Then tell us what happened next. After searching, coming back home to Practical Homeopathy® Kelsey: (03:40) Okay. So, after I graduated with Joette and APH, I decided that...

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: A Skeptical Nurse Becomes a Confident Homeopath Kate: (00:59) Hello everyone and welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m so glad that you’re here with us today. I can’t wait to introduce you to our special guest. If you’ve ever felt stuck between conventional medicine and natural options or if you’ve wondered whether homeopathy could really work for serious everyday family health challenges, today’s episode is going to speak straight to your heart. Joining us today is Erin. She’s a registered nurse with decades of experience. She’s also a mom, a breast cancer survivor, and now a successful homeopath. Erin went from being deeply skeptical of the little white sugar pills to using Practical Homeopathy® confidently for everything from insomnia and vertigo to abscesses, injuries and chronic conditions in her family. So, Erin, I want to welcome you to the podcast. It’s so great to have you here, finally. We’ve been waiting for the listeners to hear your story. Erin: Thank you, Kate. I am so happy to be here. Why look for alternatives to conventional medicine? Kate: (02:03) Oh, I’m happy you’re here. So, let’s start at the beginning. You are a registered nurse — have been for many years — and you followed the conventional medicine paradigm with your family. What finally made you start looking for alternatives? Erin: It actually started with our oldest child, when he entered kindergarten. After about two weeks, the school called us and told us that he needed to be medicated because he couldn’t sit still, and he was too disruptive. My husband and I weren’t willing to jump to medication as a first step. That led us down the common path many people take. We tried herbalism, essential oils, naturopathy, functional medicine, but everything felt so complicated and time-consuming or just managing symptoms without really giving any lasting improvement. We stayed in those approaches for a while simply because we didn’t know there was anything better. Kate: Right. And then you faced a health crisis. Tell us about what that was and what happened afterward that led you to homeopathy, if you wouldn’t mind sharing. Erin: Oh, sure. So again, I was completely in the Western medicine paradigm with my routine checkups. And I went to just a regularly scheduled appointment, and they found something that led to more tests. Eventually I ended up with a diagnosis of breast cancer. Again, I followed every recommendation they had. I did the surgery and the treatments — the whole protocol. But when it was over, I was left with all the side effects that I wasn’t expecting: the months of insomnia with the crushing exhaustion and the brain fog and the anxiety. And then the constant vertigo started day and night, and I just really had no quality of life at that point. My mom kept telling me about this lady on the internet named Joette, who had something that could help. She kept offering me these little white sugar pills. And at first, I completely brushed it off. I thought my mom was falling for some internet charlatan, and I was genuinely concerned for her because now that became an extra worry that I didn’t feel that I had, I guess, the brain power to deal with. Kate: That’s funny. So, I think a lot of listeners can relate to that skepticism. So, what finally made you try these little white pills? Erin: Honestly, it was desperation. The insomnia was unbearable, and my thought was, “If...

Joette: Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®. So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Get Rid of Headaches With Practical Homeopathy® Kate: (01:00) Welcome back to the podcast. If this is your first time here, you’re in for a treat today. Or maybe a better way to say it is, you’re about to get out of a real pickle. We’re diving into headaches with Joette — from the extremely painful ones that knock you flat to that dull ache after a long day in the sun. But even more importantly, we’ll hear exactly what Joette did to finally relieve her headaches for good. Now, I know most of us listening have dealt with a headache at some point, even if it was just a mild one. But Joette, earlier, you were sharing how we can approach different types of headaches in a smarter way. So, can you start by explaining what you mean by different kinds of headaches? Different types of headaches Joette: (01:41) Oh, absolutely, Kate. Headaches come in all shapes and sizes: dull, throbbing, sharp, stabbing, tight-band-like pressure around the head, pain behind the eyes, or sometimes a heavy squeezing sensation. And then there are migraines, which are in a league of their own. So, let me clarify the difference between a regular headache — even a really painful sinus one — and a true migraine. Now, migraine is far more than just a bad headache. It often brings debilitating, throbbing pain, sometimes on one side, sometimes both sides, that can leave you in bed for days. Lights, sounds, movement, or certain triggers can worsen it, along with nausea, vision changes, even fatigue or irritability. So, whether it’s a headache or a migraine, the key is to investigate before reaching for the homeopathic medicine. We want to try to find the cause, if possible. If we can’t pinpoint it exactly, at least narrow it down to the specific symptoms, because sometimes the cause can give us very good information. Kate: So, you are saying that headaches don’t usually just appear out of nowhere. Joette: Well, sometimes it feels like that. But if you look a little closer, there’s often a trigger — not always — but often there can be. It can be a long day in the sun, sudden weather, pressure changes, too much screen time, dehydration, or even stress, or, let me also add, food intolerances that you hadn’t considered in the past. So, if the cause isn’t obvious, then, okay … then, focus on the symptoms instead. Where exactly is the pain? What does it feel like? Is it only at night or in the temples or dull pressure behind the eyes? We often slap the broad label headache on everything and stop there because most people are accustomed to just simply taking a drug for just pain regardless of where it is and how it presents. But these details that I’m listing really matter in homeopathy. Kate: So, I’m wondering if the cause and symptoms are the real clues to how we look at this. I think that’s really smart. Joette, why does the type of headache even matter? Isn’t it all just the same thing in the end? Joette: Not really. Once you understand the difference between migraines, certain common headaches, their causes, their unique symptoms, everything changes. Two personal examples: barometric pressure and dehydration headaches Joette: (04:12) So, let me share two personal stories that show the cause made all the difference in the pain I experienced. The first one was years of barometric pressure headaches back in ...

Joette: Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®. So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Don’t Worry Kate: (01:00) Welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, and our subject today is worry. Now, we all talk about anxiety. I think that’s very common in society today, but what about worry? Maybe you’re not plagued with the deep anxiety day and night, but you are a mom, like me, that worries. Or maybe you’re not a mom, but you worry about your pets, your family, your friends, your career, your finances. What about if you’re a teenager and you worry about being bullied, or a grandparent who worries about their new grandbabies and how much time they’ll get to spend with them? Well, regardless of who you are, worry shouldn’t be on the forefront of your mind, especially if you can’t let it go. Long-term stresses on the body can lead to many other issues, but in this podcast, Joette is going to cover some important homeopathic medicines that can help when worry becomes an everyday occurrence and when worry turns into something greater. So, let’s get started, Joette. Women are expert worriers Joette: (02:00) Yeah, let’s get started, Kate. First, I want to say that some of the best worriers on earth are women. We’re experts at it. Once we become a mother, then, I would say worry is our middle name. Kate: Right. Joette: So, yeah, it can be mild. It can go on and on, but it can also be within the range of normal. So, we don’t want to treat just every little thing that comes along because, as we know, everyone worries now and then. But when it starts to affect our daily life, then we consider trying a homeopathic medicine to calm that thinking pattern. And we don’t use it every day. We would use it maybe for a day or two and see how it affects us — and use it only as needed. That would be our goal. So, I know there can be moments of fleeting worry when your child learns how to ride a bike, or when you’re going to take a test, or about your family going on a trip overseas, or if you’ll make it someplace on time. That’s within the range of normal. But if you find yourself in a constant state of worry, or it becomes something that you find affects your day-to-day living because you’re spending your time checking up on your adult kids constantly (or even your younger children), or not going to places because of worry (like not getting on a plane or not being comfortable enough to take the thruway) … you get the picture. When worry becomes a pathology, think Arsenicum album or Calc carb Joette: (03:18) Homeopathy can often help. So, I want to talk about a few top remedies that we could consider when we repertorize them in our “Meta Repertory” by Robin Murphy. And we look up on page, for example, 277. (For those of you who have a repertory, it’s kind of fun to do this. But if you don’t, you can just follow along.) There’s “worries, tendency to,” (tendency to worry). And the top medicines are Arsenicum album and Calc carb (or Calcarea carbonica). There are other medicines, too, but I want to just touch on these two main medicines. Let’s go with Arsenicum first. It’s a person who is full of worries about trifles. They’re nervous; they’re anxious; they can be indecisive. They have anxiety, especially about health, about fear of germs, viruses, being poisoned. They’re restless, and basically, they turn into a hypochondriac. If it’s a child that worries, they don’t want to be alone, and they can cling to their parents. And I have to say that this is...
