Vanessa and Heather sit down with Mark Dini, a functional health consultant and educator with a specialised focus in quantum and circadian biology, functional medicine, advanced peptide therapies (including bioregulator and cellular signaling peptides), and comprehensive biomarker driven blood diagnostics. Mark's mission is to bridge nature’s intelligence with cutting-edge science to radically extend healthspan, performance, and vitality.

In this episode, we explore a remarkable journey of resilience, transformation, and conscious living. From surviving meningococcal septicemia as a child and navigating multiple chronic illnesses and surgeries, to excelling in bodybuilding, the music industry, and a career at Apple, Mark shares how these experiences shaped his approach to health, purpose, and personal responsibility.

Mark opens up about being told by leading doctors that his IBD was incurable and that he would need biologics or surgery, but instead, he chose a path of self-healing through functional medicine, peptides, and lifestyle optimization. He emphasizes the importance of questioning medical diagnoses, thinking critically, and refusing to accept conventional limits on health and wellbeing.

The conversation also delves into the intersection of mind, body, and spirit. Mark discusses the power of stillness, connection with nature, and intuitive guidance, and how environmental and lifestyle adjustments, like optimizing circadian rhythms, light exposure, and grounding practices, can dramatically improve health outcomes. We explore the “act-as-if” mindset, showing how embodying the person you want to become can transform both personal and professional life.

Mark shares his vision for an intentional community built on quantum principles, natural living, and harmony with nature. He discusses integrating sacred geometry, traditional skills, and conscious community living in El Salvador, and reflects on how collaboration, innovation, and personal insight can create meaningful change.

This episode is a deep dive into courage, critical thinking, and holistic transformation, perfect for anyone looking to reclaim their health, challenge conventional thinking, and live intentionally.

This week, Heather and Vanessa explore all things tissue salts, aka cell salts. We explore the question of whether true healing is about adding more supplements, or could it be about restoring the mineral foundation your body was designed to run on.

To answer that, we explain what tissue salts are, how they work, their connection to homeopathy and astrology, and why mineral balance may be one of the most overlooked keys to chronic healing.

You’ll learn:

• What tissue salts are and why they matter at the cellular level

• How minerals influence energy, emotions, detox, and hydration

• The relationship between tissue salts, homeopathy, and structured (EZ) water

• The astrology connection, and how your chart may reveal mineral weaknesses

• Simple ways to use tissue salts safely and intuitively

Tissue salts don’t force the body, they remind it. By restoring mineral balance, we restore communication among cells, emotional resilience, and the body’s innate ability to heal. Your cells remember how to heal; sometimes, they just need the right minerals to remind them.

If you’re ready to explore your unique mineral map, learn more about personalized consultations, you can take Vanessa's Tissue Salts course, and read her ongoing series on Substack.

This week Kelley Erickson returns to the pod! Kelley is a Consciousness Architect & Functional Mental Health Practitioner. In this interview, Kelley introduces quantum emotions: that emotions are energy in motion, moving in spirals rather than straight lines, serving both survival AND consciousness expansion.

Kelley sees emotions like shame, anger, and fear not as “negative”, but as essential biological and spiritual intelligence built into the human system. Kelley breaks down how these emotional states play a necessary role in moral alignment, nervous system regulation, and personal growth, challenging the deeply ingrained belief that some emotions are “bad” and should be avoided.

We dive into how unresolved trauma and emotional suppression become stored at the cellular level, activating the cell danger response and contributing to chronic illness. Drawing from quantum biology, attachment theory, recovery work, and lived experience, Kelley shares how understanding emotional cycles rather than bypassing them can unlock profound healing.

If you have chronic illness, trauma or have ever felt shamed by our emotion-phobic culture, you will love this episode.

Heather and Vanessa welcome Jacob Diaz, Naturopathic Practitioner, back to the show for the third time! Our topic is "what if germs aren’t the enemy, but messengers of a deeper imbalance?" To answer this question, we explore pleomorphism, microzyma, mold, parasites, gut health, and the terrain-based model of healing, a perspective that radically challenges the fear-based narratives of modern medicine.

We dive into the work of early scientists who questioned germ theory and proposed that disease arises from a weakened or toxic terrain, not from pathogens themselves. Jacob explains how microbes, mold, fungi, and even parasites are part of the body’s adaptive and intelligent response to stress, inflammation, toxicity, and low cellular energy.

Specifically, Jacob explains:

• Why mold exposure alone doesn’t cause illness
• How microzyma transform in response to the body’s internal environment
• The homotoxicology model and why symptoms are often signs of healing
• Why suppressing symptoms creates chronic disease
• The misunderstood role of histamine, fungus, and inflammation
• Why parasites may be symbiotic waste managers, not invaders
• Gut healing beyond probiotics: sunlight, raw foods, structured water & circadian biology
• Emotional trauma, nervous system regulation, and their impact on digestion and immunity

This episode is an invitation to step out of fear-based health thinking and into a deeper trust in the body’s wisdom. Rather than fighting microbes, we explore how to restore terrain, voltage, and vitality so the body can self-regulate as designed.

If you’ve felt confused, overwhelmed, or even harmed by aggressive cleanses, antimicrobial protocols, or constant pathogen-hunting, this conversation offers a grounded, empowering reframe!

In this episode, Heather & Vanessa are joined by the playful and sexy Natalie, founder of the Sunwhore™ movement, for a vulnerable, heartfelt conversation on circadian health, sunlight therapy, and intuitive living. Natalie shares her personal journey of discovering the healing power of sunlight while caring for her mother through Lewy Body Dementia, and how strong circadian practices supported her own healing from autoimmunity, alopecia, weight struggles, and long-held grief.

Together, we explore how modern life disrupts our natural rhythms and emotional capacity, often leading to weight gain, chronic illness, and disconnection from intuition. We talk about sunlight as biological information, trauma stored as energy in the body, intuitive eating, the dangers of over-tracking and over-programming health, and why true healing is often slow, simple, and deeply unglamorous.

We also dive into homeopathy, flower essences, blue light exposure, raising kids in a high-tech world, and what it means to model healing rather than perfection. This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your playful side, your body, your intuition, and the natural rhythms that support true vitality, physically, emotionally, and energetically.

In this powerful & eye-opening conversation, Vanessa & Heather explore the modern fertility crisis through a truly holistic lens—blending circadian biology, environmental medicine, nervous system health, hormonal resilience, and the profound healing potential of classical homeopathy.

They uncover the hidden forces quietly reshaping reproductive health today:
• artificial light and disrupted circadian rhythms
• endocrine disruptors in food, water, and personal care products
• chronic stress, trauma imprints, and dysregulated nervous systems
• nutrient depletion and mitochondrial dysfunction
• toxic environmental exposures and chemical overload
• the over-medicalization of women’s bodies and intuition

They also explore how homeopathy can help restore the terrain—supporting fertility by regulating the nervous system, balancing hormones, clearing inherited patterns, detoxifying environmental burdens, helping the body reconnect with its innate intelligence.

This conversation reframes fertility not as a symptom to “fix,” but as a profound expression of safety, nourishment, mitochondrial vitality, and soul alignment.
Women learn that fertility struggles are not their fault—they are the result of living in a world that has pulled us out of nature, out of rhythm, out of our own bodies.

Vanessa shares insights from her Women’s Homeopathy Course, a powerful journey that supports women in understanding their constitution, healing emotional imprints, navigating hormonal shifts, and using homeopathic remedies with confidence for themselves/their families.

A must-listen for anyone seeking holistic hormonal support, deeper self-care, and a grounded path toward natural conception—rooted in biology, energy, and the wisdom of the feminine.
