  • #154 Heathar Shepard: PUFAs, Thyroid Dysfunction & the Low-Carb Trap
    2026/04/21

    Send us Fan Mail

    If you’re doing everything right like eating clean, working out, cutting carbs, and you're still dealing with weight gain, fatigue, or stubborn thyroid symptoms, then this conversation might shift everything.

    In this episode, Heather Shepard of EatHealFarm returns to the pod to share her deep dive into polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), what they are, where they’re hiding (hint: almost everywhere), and how they can quietly disrupt thyroid function, slow metabolism, and drive weight gain.

    We explore:

    – Why seed oils + processed foods are one of the biggest metabolic disruptors

    – How PUFAs can block thyroid hormone signaling and contribute to estrogen imbalance

    – The connection between low-carb diets, fasting, and thyroid suppression

    – Why many people feel worse, not better, on extreme diets like keto or carnivore

    – The role of carbohydrates, dairy, and calcium in supporting metabolic health

    – What’s really going on with store-bought eggs, chicken, and pork (and why sourcing matters)

    – How to begin reducing PUFA load without becoming obsessive

    – Simple ways to assess thyroid function at home (without expensive labs)

    We also explore a perspective that often gets missed:

    This isn’t about eliminating foods out of fear; it’s about restoring balance.

    Your body isn’t broken. But it does respond to the inputs you give it: light, food, minerals, and stress.

    And for many people, healing starts with:

    → lowering the PUFA burden

    → supporting the thyroid with adequate fuel (yes, carbs matter)

    → and moving away from extremes toward a more ancestral, rhythmic way of eating

    If you’ve been stuck in cycles of restriction, burnout, or confusion around fats and carbs… this episode will give you a completely new lens.

  • #153 Morley Robbins on Copper, Iron & the Truth About Energy
    2026/04/14

    Send us Fan Mail

    We focus so much on hormones, gut health, detox…

    …but underneath all of it is something deeper: your mineral balance.

    In this episode with Morley Robbins, we unpack why so many people are still struggling with fatigue, hormone issues, and chronic symptoms—despite “doing everything right.”

    Here’s the shift:

    Most people are told to take more iron…

    ➡️ But iron overload is often the real problem

    Most people fear copper…

    ➡️ But copper is what regulates iron and drives energy production

    When this balance is off, your body can’t properly recycle iron → leading to oxidative stress, inflammation, and low energy.

    We dive into:

    • How mitochondria actually produce energy

    • Why stress depletes magnesium + disrupts your system

    • The hidden risks of excess vitamin D (hello potassium loss 👀)

    • Why your labs can look “normal” but you still feel off

    • The connection between emotional stress + mineral depletion

    This conversation really challenges the conventional narrative around:

    iron, anemia, cholesterol, and supplementation.

    Because it’s not just about what you take…

    it’s about how your body is functioning.

    If you’ve been stuck in cycles of:

    “Why don’t I feel better even though I’m doing all the things?”

    👉 This episode will give you a completely new lens.

  • #152 Claire Zarb on Transforming Women’s Hormonal & Emotional Health with Homeopathy
    2026/04/07

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week Heather & Vanessa interview homeopath extraordinaire, Claire Zarb! Claire has been practicing homeopathy for over a decade and has additional training in homeobotanicals, herbs, nutrition and flower essences. She studied at The College of Practical Homeopathy in London and holds a Licentiate Diploma in Homeopathy.

    Claire came into homeopathy like so many of us after she experienced years of ill health due to conventional medical treatment and pharmaceuticals to address skin issues, IBS and hormonal imbalances, trauma and stress.

    Under skilled homeopathic care, Claire was able to detox all the drugs she'd taken which allowed her body to heal itself. Her transformation was so remarkable that she felt called to become a homeopath herself!

    Practicing virtually and in-person in the UK, Claire now specializes in women's hormonal and emotional health. She has many glowing testimonials (see them her website!), and has helped many women and others to detox from pharmaceuticals and transform their health to find peace and vitality.

    Claire's warm and loving energy combined with her incredible knowledge and wisdom of homeopathy make her a gift to the world!

  • #150 From Resentment to Release: How Flower Essences Rewire Emotional Patterns
    2026/03/24

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week Heather & Vanessa delve into all things flower essences! If you've been listening to our show for a while, you know that we believe that physical symptoms aren't just physical; they stem from of underlying emotional patterns asking to be felt, processed, and released!

    Flower essences are a form of energy medicine that works on the emotional and energetic body to support true healing. They were originally developed by Dr. Edward Bach, an MD and homeopath, in the early 1900's in England. While the medical industrial complex and mainstream medicine will claim flower essences to be quackery, we know better. Listen to this episode to discover for yourself the healing power of flower essences.

    We explore:

    🌿 The history of Bach flower essences + how they’re made through sunlight-infused water

    🌿 Why these remedies contain no physical substance—yet create profound shifts

    🌿 The connection between emotional imbalances and physical symptoms

    🌿 How essences like Willow (resentment), Pine (guilt), Oak (over-responsibility), and Star of Bethlehem (trauma) can gently transform deep patterns

    🌿 Why flower essences pair beautifully with homeopathy (and sometimes even simplify the process)

    We also share our personal experiences using essences to soften rigidity, release emotional weight, and reconnect with a more intuitive, authentic and spontaneous version of ourselves.

    Flower essences are simple, safe, and deeply effective—and they meet you exactly where you are.

    If you’ve been feeling stuck emotionally or physically, this might be the missing piece 🤍

    Heather & Vanessa explore the evolution of homeopathy from its classical roots to the adaptations practitioners have made to support humans facing modern-day challenges.

    In this expansive conversation, Heather and Vanessa explore how modern practitioners are moving beyond rigid classical frameworks to meet the complex health challenges of today’s world. From industrial solvents and pharmaceuticals to trauma, EMFs, and chronic stress, our patients are navigating layers of interference that Hahnemann never encountered.

    We discuss:

    • Fibonacci potencies and why they allow the body to select its most resonant frequency
    • Homochords and customized prescribing for complex cases
    • Isotherapy and clarifying constitutional remedies
    • Dual prescribing with miasmatic remedies
    • The role of tissue salts, flower essences, and lifestyle medicine

    Homeopathy was never meant to be static. It is a living medicine , and it must evolve.
