When most people hear the word microbiome, they think of the gut—but the truth is, your entire body is an interconnected network of microbial ecosystems. In this episode of Rooted & Wild, we dive beyond digestion to explore the diverse microbiomes of the skin, lungs, sinuses, eyes, mouth, and even reproductive organs.

You’ll learn how these invisible colonies of bacteria, fungi, and viruses quietly shape your immunity, mood, skin health, inflammation levels, and more. We’ll also unpack how modern life—antibiotics, over-sanitization, stress, diet—disrupts this balance, and what you can do to support your microbial allies naturally.

Jodi Isolini wears many hats, as we commonly do in the holistic health realm. She holds a degree in Microbiology and worked in the healthcare industry as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist for over 30 years. During the last third of those years, and after struggling with her own health issues, Jodi started to look outside the box of Western Medicine. Obtaining her Health and Nutrition Certification from the Institute of Integrative Medicine, followed by Fermentation Certification, an Unlimited Breathwork Practitioner and a Quantum Living Advocate involving the quantum frequency realm.

You’ve likely heard of muscle testing—but what happens when you bring in the frequency of emotion, intention, and energy? In this episode, we dive into the world of Quantum Muscle Testing, a refined method that goes far beyond physical reflexes to tap into the body’s innate intelligence.

This conversation explores how the body holds information—not just biologically, but energetically—and how muscle testing can help uncover root causes of chronic symptoms, emotional blockages, food sensitivities, and more. It’s a form of biofeedback that’s intuitive, precise, and deeply holistic.

Joining us is Dr. Sarah Outlaw, a board-certified Doctor of Holistic Health, clinical master herbalist, and functional nutritionist with over 20 years of experience helping people get to the root cause of their health issues. She owns a busy natural health practice, a kava bar and coffee shop, and lives on a farm where she raises animals, vegetables, flowers, and medicinal herbs. A wife, mom of five, and passionate educator, Sarah blends real-life experience with clinical expertise to empower others to take control of their health naturally.

Together we explore:

• What makes Quantum Muscle Testing different from standard applied kinesiology
• How energetic testing identifies imbalances in organs, systems, and emotions
• The connection between muscle response and the subconscious
• Why this modality empowers both practitioner and client in the healing process
• Common misconceptions—and what makes it so effective when used correctly

If you’ve ever wondered how the body speaks without words, this episode offers a fascinating window into how energy, biology, and intuition intersect in real-time healing.

In this episode of Rooted & Wild, we explore the deep, earthy wisdom of Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica), a powerhouse plant with centuries of medicinal use. Often dismissed as a common weed, nettle is actually one of the most nourishing alteratives in herbal medicine—supporting the kidneys, replenishing depleted minerals, and gently restoring balance to the body’s systems.

We’ll dive into its affinity for the renal and urinary systems, its role in mineral restoration, and why nettle is a foundational herb in many tonic formulas. Whether you're dealing with burnout, chronic inflammation, fatigue, or nutrient depletion, this humble herb might be one of nature’s best-kept secrets.
