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: It Doesn’t Get Better Than This: Inspirational Homeopathic Success Joette: (01:00) Hi! Kate: Hi, Joette. It is very exciting to be with you this week because we are actually in person, which doesn’t happen too often — a couple times a year — but tell us where we are and what’s happening. Joette: Well, we’re in Florida, and a number of our Mastermind members joined us here for a great weekend. This is fashioned after Masterminds that were started back in the turn of the last century when Napoleon Hill was charged with the job of gathering up the heads of industry, getting them together and having them meet and share information on what made them successful, asking each other to help. And it was basically a secret group. So now, we’re not industrialists, but we’re going to learn from them. And instead, we’ve gathered together … we’ve been doing this, now, we’re going on our third year, where we gather together. There are 12 of us in one unit, and we have gotten to know each other because we’re all asking each other for help with whatever it is we’re looking to accomplish in our lives. That help could be from “How to build my practice,” “How to teach Gateways more frequently,” “How to incorporate my family into my work,” “How to study better.” Some of the members in the group have no interest in ever practicing or even teaching. What they want to do is to just keep in touch with those people that they have a great deal of regard for and get feedback. And that’s really what it is. It’s melding of the minds. It’s concinnity at its best because it’s bringing all the minds together, and everyone is parlaying off of each other. It sounds a little bit like a cacophony, but it isn’t. It really is very organized. Each person has their specific time at which they present, and then those around the round table (of the other 11) offer their suggestions, ideas and plans to help them build their year. We’re meeting now, and then we’re going to meet every other week for an entire year. It’s really a spectacular opportunity for all of us. Prerequisites for Practical Homeopathy’s Mastermind Kate: (03:00) So, in order to be in your Mastermind group, what do students need to have accomplished in order to join the group? And I know there’s a wait list. Actually, right now we have a number of people who wanted to join, but weren’t able to necessarily get in this year, but we’re hoping in the coming years. But tell me, what do these students have to have done to get in group? Joette: They have to have gone through The Academy, which is one full year, and the Mastery, which is 11 months. So, it’s quite a commitment. And they have to be interested in growing; growing themselves intellectually, emotionally, spiritual. Whatever it is that they’re looking to accomplish, that’s what ...

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: Meet 7 Unique, Accomplished, Inspiring Women from the Practical Homeopathy® Mastermind Group Kate: (01:00) Welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m thrilled you’re joining us today. Homeopathy isn’t just a gentle, time-tested system of medicine. It’s a powerful tool that empowers families to take charge of their health naturally, safely and effectively. Joette has spent decades teaching others how to employ Practical Homeopathy® with their family, friends and beyond. So, on this podcast, you’re going to hear from some passionate students of Practical Homeopathy®, who are now helping others experience what’s truly possible with Practical Homeopathy®. Joette, we’ve just spent three wonderfully intense days together with your Mastermind students. Some of them are joining in on this podcast today. So, I’d love it if you could start by explaining to those listening what your Mastermind group is all about. What’s a Mastermind group? Joette: (01:52) Okay. So, a Mastermind group is a dedicated group of graduates of The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® and Mastery — so, that’s been two full years — who have taken their knowledge to the next level. These women — brilliant women, I have to say — have seen remarkable results in their own lives and families. And now they’ve moved beyond that, and they want to join with a small group of other like-minded students who all want to push each other to fulfill their goals, and their clients experience the life-changing power of homeopathy. So, let’s get started. Meet Heather, a health coach Joette: (02:33) Hi, Heather. Heather: Hello, Joette. Joette: I’m so glad you’re with me today … well, also that you’ve been with me this weekend, too. Heather: Yes, it’s been amazing. Joette: It’s amazing to be amongst these women, hasn’t it? Heather: Absolutely, yes. Joette: Tell us a little bit about your story. What is a little bit of your background; what brought you here? Heather: I have been a health coach for about 10 years and have been working with clients for that long, helping people recover their health and just to support them in any way that I could. But I always felt a little bit of a limitation. I couldn’t always quite get to the end of that process. And so, when I found homeopathy, one of the first things that I did for myself was to work on getting rid of my chronic headaches that were debilitating and took up way too many days of the month that I couldn’t really function or do things. And so, when I was able to do that with homeopathy, I knew that I had found that missing piece. And the fact...

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: When health fears fade: Ordinary mom, extraordinary results Kate: (00:58) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m so excited today because we’re diving into the heart of why so many of us love homeopathic medicine. We’re going to hear real stories from real people living busy, full lives, who have seen homeopathy work wonders. So, today our guest is Tina. She’s a wife, a homeschooling mom of three, a student of Practical Homeopathy®. Actually, she’s going through The Academy of Practical Homeopathy®. And she’s a leader of the Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® study groups and also the protocol study courses. So, Tina, thank you so much for joining us. I’m excited to hear your stories. Tina: Oh, I’m so thankful to be here, Kate. It’s an honor. I’m just a mom, an observer. I’ve seen this medicine change things, and in the most ordinary, everyday moments Kate: And extraordinary from what you’ve told me, too. Very exciting. So, that’s why we love hearing these stories, Tina, and especially what you’re going to bring to the podcast today. You have such a rich background, and I think people would want to know because it’s so interesting. Microbiology, business, homeschooling, church music ministry, volleyball coaching, graphic design, short-term rentals and more, as we talked earlier. Yet, homeopathy has woven into all of it. So, I want to ask you, Tina, what first drew you to Practical Homeopathy®, and how did those early experiences hook you into using homeopathy as your medicine? It all started with tooth pain Tina: (02:34) I am so thankful to live a varied life and, within all of those moments, get to use homeopathy and see homeopathy shine. But it all started with my youngest daughter during the time when we were all sitting at home, and we weren’t able to get into many practices or dental practices or doctors. And her tooth started turning pretty decayed, in which we were told before that it was just a little stain on her tooth. So, I had a sister-in-law who had just taken Gateway I and Gateway II, and she had tried to convince me to get in the class. And I kick myself now because that was when I could have started. But it was in the middle of a move, and we just didn’t have time. And so, I remember getting on the phone, calling her up and saying, “Is there anything homeopathy could do? Because we need help.” At that point, my poor little youngest was in pain and waking up in the middle of the night. And we were doing all we could allopathically, and it just was not good enough. And your mom-heart just breaks to see them in pain and crying. And so, I was introduced to a protocol for infection. And it was my first real introduction, and it was a beautiful start because not only did things change within the hour, but 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: Never Forget Remedies With Stories: A Closer Look at Arnica Kate: (01:00) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast with Joette Calabrese. I’m your co-host, Kate. If you are looking for ways to remember which homeopathic medicines address specific conditions, today’s podcast is for you. Joette, our Practical Homeopathy® founder and trusted expert, will share her insights to do just that. But before we jump in, I want to welcome you. You, our listeners. You’re in the right place today if your goal is to become a confident, capable healer in your own family. Or maybe you’re just learning about homeopathy, and you wonder if this could help you or maybe someone that you know. This is the place for you, too. And this podcast is just one of the many resources Joette offers to help you — wherever you are on your journey. But let’s get started with today’s podcast. Joette, give us an overview of the topic of our discussion today. It’s a good one. The way most people remember their remedies Joette: (01:55) Okay. So, let’s start with homeopathy being an academic pursuit, but it’s much more than that. And I’m going to give you some insight into that today. The way most people remember remedies — learning the materia medica — is by taking cases and observing their successes by using homeopathy. I guarantee — pretty much — you’ll likely never forget when you helped that little girl down the street with hives by using, say, Urtica urens and seeing a big shift. You’ll never forget the remedy you used when it helped your husband with that horrible pain after that fall. You might forget the medicine that helped you with your cough. But when it’s touching you on an emotional level — like when you’re helping a family member or a friend or a pet or even an animal from the wild — it’s more likely you’ll not forget it. So, let me give you an example. The story of the injured bird Joette: (02:55) Let’s say a bird flew into your window. And this has happened to me a couple of times, and I’ll never forget the combination of the medicines that I used. The first one I thought of, of course, was Arnica because the bird — being that it flew into the window — hit its head. Arnica is one of our best medicines for a head injury. Now, I did not know whether or not the bird was in pain, and you might not know this either, but we do know that there was a head injury. And one time, when we had a bird that flew into our window, I gave it Symphytum with Calc phos as a combination. And I did that because the bird’s head was cocked to one side. And I assumed that there may have been an injury to the spine or to the neck or et cetera. So, I made that connection. Not sure of it, of course, but certainly, we knew Arnica, and then I added Symphytum plus Calc phos. Arnica: a sweeping medicine But did you know that Arnica has so many other uses? It is one of our most sweeping homeopathic medicines. And there are many medicines like this in our materia medica, but Arnica, because it is such a well-known medicine, ought to strongly be considered for many other conditions as well. For example, Arnica’s a great remedy for insomnia, for sleeplessness. I learned that from my own mother, who started to use it. She knew only the name of the medicine, Arnica, when I first started learning homeopathy myself. And she just remembered the name, and a couple of nights she had some insomnia and took Arnica, and it worked! And that was news to me. (This was ...

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: The ‘C’ Remedy for Colic, Cramps and Cysts Kate: (01:00) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast with Joette. I’m your co-host, Kate, and I’m looking forward to today’s topic because we’re diving into a homeopathic medicine that I believe every household should keep close at hand. And in just a moment, Joette, our Practical Homeopathy® founder and trusted expert, will explain exactly why. But before we jump in, I want to welcome all of you. You are in the right place today. If your goal is to become a confident, capable healer in your own family, this podcast is just one of the many resources Joette offers to do just that. So, let’s get started. Hi, Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. This is so great. This is a very interesting topic today. Kate: It is! What sparked our topic of discussion today is a question from one of your Mighties Plus members. So, some of our listeners might be asking, what is Mighties Plus? And do you want to explain it to them just a bit, Joette? What is Mighties Plus? Joette: (01:59) Mighties Plus is a virtual group. We meet each month, where I’ll get your questions answered. And there’s much more because there’s also that community. And so, we also have a special lesson in Mighties Plus for each month, so that members can study. We have those who have been in Mighties Plus for a little while. We have them give us exciting success stories. And then, we have Remedy Riddles and all kinds of fun things that keep it alive and interesting. So, it’s not just me answering questions. Kate: So, one of those things in your Mighties Plus membership site is the flashcards that give keynotes for various homeopathic medicines. And it’s a great way — for whether it’s adults or even children — to learn the keynotes of the medicines. For those people who may not know what a keynote is, can you explain that, Joette? What are homeopathic medicine keynotes? Joette: (02:49) Well, each of our homeopathic medicines have sweeping, grand ability. They can touch on so many aspects of human suffering and human health. But there are specific aspects of each of them that rise to the top — certain abilities of these medicines — and we call them keynotes. It’s an appropriate name because these are the key aspects of this particular medicine. So, for those who only know a little bit about Arnica montana, you would understand that — Arnica montana — one of the keynotes, is elements from an injury. So, soft tissue or hard tissue injury would be met with Arnica. That’s a keynote of Arnica montana. Keynotes of homeopathic Colocynthis Kate: (3:30) So, in our last Mighties Plus live, one of the students — which is what sparked this episode, actually —asked you, “Does the homeopathic medicine Colocynthis work for just GI pain (because that’s what you were talking about) related to bullying? Or would it also help with GI pain related to anxiety?” So, can you take us through how to think about this question, and why it was a good question. Joette: Well, I discussed that moment in Mighties Plus. I was describing a case that I had taken years ago about an adolescent boy who had been bullied and had tremendous GI pain. He was practically...

    In this podcast, we cover: 00:58 Introduction: Real-World Integration of Practical Homeopathy® and Conventional Care 01:56 Health care professionals seeking to incorporate both allopathy and homeopathy Boiron 04:40 Is homeopathy the same as “home remedies?” The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® 06:07 A day in the life of a “combination” practice 11:28 Attention, health care workers: Stay at your post! 13:24 Homeopathy and/or pharmaceuticals 17:02 Success Story: Osteoporosis Watch Out for Dem’ Bones 18:07 Success Story: Depression Homeopathy Can Spoil a Girl JoetteCalabrese.com Additional resources: Joette Calabrese on YouTube (Monday Night Lives) Joette’s Learning Center Gateway to Practical Homeopathy®: A Guided Study Group Curriculum Joette’s Study Group, Find Your New Study Group Friends Joette’s Mighty Members FindAPracticalHomeopath.com Kate: This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, episode number 160.

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®. Real-World Integration of Practical Homeopathy® and Conventional Care Kate: (00:58) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and today’s guest is going to talk about how she integrates homeopathy into her existing health practice without abandoning the credentials, training and experience as a medical professional. I’m thrilled to be joined by someone who embodies this balance beautifully. Michelle is a nurse and a homeopath who works alongside her physician-husband. She’s also gone through The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® and is now finishing the second year, which is the Mastery program. So today, she’s here to talk about how to introduce homeopathy to people steeped in the allopathic world. Michelle, welcome to the podcast. Michelle: Thank you, Kate. It’s good to be with you today. Kate: I’m so glad you’re here. You have a very unique and exciting perspective, and I’m thrilled for you to be able to share with the listeners. Michelle: Thank you. I’m glad to be here as well. Health care professionals seeking to incorporate both allopathy and homeopathy Kate: (01:56) So, tell me about what you’ve noticed. When we talked earlier, you said some things about nurses who are giving up their positions and their licenses because they’re wanting to go into homeopathy, and they’re not really sure how to incorporate both of those paradigms. Can you talk to us about that? Michelle: Yeah, especially through the last several months and getting to meet everyone, and there’s so many RNs. And I would say other health care professionals, too, that I’ve met along the way in my study groups, as well as the broader sense of the school, that so many of them seem to feel like they have to give up their nursing license or their doctor or physical therapy license in order to practice homeopathy because of the scope of practice. And I don’t know the laws in every state. However, I’m in Florida. Florida’s pretty friendly with combining those. And I just find that for us in our private practice, I find it very beneficial to have one foot in the allopathic world, as I call it, and one foot in the homeopathic world — in the sense that there’s so many things, especially that you can teach patients or clients, that they can take something homeopathically and not have side effects. Oftentimes, when they’ll come into our office, I have lots of remedies right in our office. And they can see those, and they will ask me questions about them. And we usually start with simple things like heartburn, or if they’re having issues with sleep, or as a woman with menopausal symptoms. And Boiron does a beautiful job of making remedies sort of “shelf attractive” to people that are used to more Big Pharma over-the-counter type things. And so, I educate them on some of their choices so that they don’t have to be on more Big Pharma medicines. And the reason not to be is that there’s so many side effects with the synthetic drugs in our world today. So, I feel like I can win more people over to homeopathy, and ultimately, it’s better for the person. A lot of people just don’t know. They’ve never heard of homeopathy, or that they misunderstand it. They think that it is natural or herbal, and they aren’t sure. Functional medicine, I think, has ...

Well, Joette is here today to pull back the curtain on the phrase we’ve all heard, “But my doctor said …” So, get ready because this podcast is going to give you courage and clarity. Joette will share why even the best doctors can be wrong (or maybe their knowledge limited), why the hidden costs of blind trust in titles and white coat can be deceiving. How to find those rare doctors who actually do think outside the box, and the life-changing moment when you finally put the mask on and see what homeopathy can really do. Joette will explain that a little more later; it’s not what you think. Hi, Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. We’re talking about a different kind of mask, but we’ll get into it. Kate: Yes, exactly. It’s a really great analogy that you have. So, Joette, as we get started today, what were you referring to when you said, “But my doctor said …” There is a price for convenience Joette: (02:25) Let’s start with this idea. We have to step back a little bit. The idea that I want to get across today is that there is a price for convenience. We all know that convenience foods, convenience drugs — conveniences — we pay for them on one level or another. It’s easy to go along with conveniences because … there it is. That also is the same for it’s easy to go along with what the doctor said because it’s convenient! It can represent work if we must figure this out ourselves or dig about and find another doctor, maybe not even in our area. We may even have to travel, drive a distance, maybe even fly a distance, depending on the degree of the condition or the degree of commitment, or … you know, it depends on the situation, of course. So, we have to be very careful, too, because it’s easy also to get the wrong information. And what I mean by that is that if you ask a friend who their cardiologist is, it’s likely a cardiologist that’s well-known in your area. And the reason I say that is because I know that many doctors — not all — but many doctors are master marketers, and they’ve been labeled “the best cardiologist in the county” or “the best allergist” in that hospital. And maybe the doctor is the best cardiologist or the best allergist. But you want to be sure that the information you’re getting is not because the doctor is a great marketer. And so, we may have to travel to find truly the best. That can take some time that may require you to do some research. And it depends on what you mean — and what the doctor means — by “the best.” Now, for my money, I want to know that a doctor thinks out of the box. I don’t want someone who is told what to do by the pharmaceutical rep that trots up to his office and keeps his training up to snuff with ...

Introduction: How To Direct Our Teens To Step Into Adulthood With Responsibility: What Is Our Role? Kate: (01:00) Welcome to another episode of the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast with Joette. I’m Kate, and I’m here today with Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. Kate: Hi. Today, we’re going to talk about parenting. And you’re going to share your thoughts on a topic that’s close to many parents’ hearts, and that is guiding our children into responsible adulthood and understanding our role in that journey. Joette, you’re going to share your personal experiences today, including the advice that you give your own children — or I should say “gave,” as they graduated high school — and how your relationship with your father shaped the way you guided your teen children. Joette, let’s begin with you sharing about your father’s influence in your life, and why do you advocate for, let’s call them, I guess, “guardrails.” I like that image of when you go bowling, and they put down those guardrails for the people that are just brand new bowlers, and it guides that bowling ball to the pins. I like that image, and it helps you to hit the mark … or hit the pins. So, talk about that for a bit. My parents were very strict Joette: (02:06) Well, let me start by saying that when I was growing up, my parents were anything but laissez-faire parents. And I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that because if it works for a family, then that’s just fine. My parents were very strict. They were not helicopter parents at all. We were outside playing all day long. Sometimes, I didn’t see them for many hours. There were a lot of kids on the street. But once I got to puberty — high school — my parents became very strict. I was the only one that had to be in hours before their friends. My father was adamant about curfews, and my mother was adamant about what I wore. I felt hemmed in. And ˆI can call them guardrails, but then, I was resentful. I’ll be honest, I really hated it. I hated that my parents were so strict. My parents were certainly American, but they were first-generation Sicilian American, and so a lot of the older ways they brought into their parenting. I grew up in a neighborhood where everyone was Irish American, and it was their grandparents and great-grandparents who would come over, and so we were closer to the original European thinking, especially southern European thinking, and I resented it. In fact, I hated it. But I have to say, I did (in the back of my mind) — as much as I felt hemmed in — I knew that the reason that I was hemmed in was because they cared so much. I knew that I was very loved. I always felt very loved by both of them. And my brother and I talk about it, even to this day, that we never felt anything but love and care towards us, even though they were strict. Now, I look back, and I can see that they were putting in the extra effort — which was not easy for them because they were fighting against society at that time, too — to keep us in line. Now, I’m not going to tell you that it worked — constantly worked. There were plenty of times where I was able to sneak around here and get away with this or that, but I always knew that I would be in trouble. So, it hemmed me into a certain degree if I did anything that was really outside of those guardrails. Now, my parents encouraged me also. And they encouraged me to go to college, and, of course, my brother, too. My parents assumed that I would become a piano ...
