SOUNDFOOD Nitsa Citrine

Today we travel the path of the Wise Woman through myth, medicine and modern science.
We welcome Dr. Karley Denoon ND, a seasoned naturopathic doctor from rural Canada with over a decade of experience in primary care.
Karley takes a multifactorial approach to health that extends beyond the conventional medical and wellness paradigms. She contributed to the development of programs at Aeon Future Health, Canada’s first biohacking facility, and cofounded The Center for Sacred Arts with Seraphina Capranos. She also serves on the board of the Arnica Foundation, where she helps empower teenage girls to become strong women.
 
We cover
Biohacking for the Feminine Blueprint How to down-regulate our nervous systems so we can hear the wise woman within Why we need naturopathic AND allopathic medicine How Karley recovered from a severe spinal injury The benefits of strength training Prevalence of UTI’s and how to prevent them once and for all Mythical Medicine and Goddess Archetypes How to advocate for yourself in medical settings and ask physicians for the support you need Plant frequencies and resonance Teaching adolescent girls to self-soothe  
and so much more, thank you Dr. Denoon!

“Being a Champion is a Condition of the Heart”
We are honored to welcome a warrior for universal empowerment, Cesalina Gracie to SOUNDFOOD.
Jiu-jitsu visionary, Olympics host, entrepreneur and multi-hyphenate athlete, Cesalina hails from the legendary Gracie martial arts lineage. Today she joins us from Los Angeles, home base for Women in Power -  Cesalina's school where she teaches the art and philosophy of jiu-jitsu to girls and women.
In May 2023 Cesalina made history for being the 8th Brazilian woman to summit Mount Everest -the world's highest mountain- during the deadliest season in the mountain's 102-year climbing history. She accredits her success to her jiu-jitsu training and mindset
In this episode Cesalina shares her journey of finding her own path within an esteemed martial arts family, how jiu-jitsu has taught her how to feel powerful and safe in any situation, including the most confronting, life threatening moments climbing Mount Everest, and why she is committed to sharing this methodology with others. We speak about the ripple effects of her mission: how teaching women self defense and healthy boundaries from a young age can inspire generations to discover their own inner strength and confidence, move with grace, from instinct to reflex, and into a champion state of mind.
Thank you Cesalina for sharing the deep strength of the feminine and your light with us!

Gather around our proverbial table for a deeply nourishing conversation about food, family, and creativity.
Our guest this week is holistic nutritionist and chef Sarah Britton  who’s been publishing whole food recipes on her My New Roots since 2007. Our discussion touches upon the full spectrum of nourishment: beginning with Sarah’s childhood, her creative evolution in relationship to food, beauty, self care,  working in professional kitchens like the esteemed NOMA,  hosting Golden Circle Retreats in Bali and Tuscany, and how she was guided to write her books and grow her platforms.
Sarah shares her experience writing and shooting her first book while pregnant in Copenhagen, how she leans into her fine arts background to approach the dinner plate as a canvas of sorts, and why she has developed more kid-friendly, functional whole food meals for everyone to enjoy. 
Thank you for feeding us in so many ways, Sarah!

Today we explore the crucial connection between personal and planetary health.
Join us in conversation with educator, activist, and whistleblower, Kelly Ryerson aka The Glyphosate Girl whose advocacy work is unveiling a public health emergency.
Kelly works at the intersection of agriculture, nutrition and health. She regularly collaborates with regenerative farmers, scientists, policy makers, and media to address the growing agrochemical damage to our soil and cells. She started the site Glyphosate Facts and has contributed to several documentaries, including Common Ground.
Kelly shares her journey, from her personal health crisis to uncovering how chemicals like glyphosate and atrazine are at the root of many modern health issues. She offers ways to minimize our exposure to glyphosate and other toxins and encourages us to eat organic, filter our water, and stay open to new information.
Bless you Kelly!

Join us to call in the vernal equinox with renewed energy, strength and vision. As we transition from Winter to Spring, we move from formlessness to form, contraction to expansion, Yin to Yang, and the Element of Wood.
We welcome back dearest Colin Hudon, herbalist, acupuncturist, practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and founder of Living Tea for a wisdom-steeped dialogue on how to work with the energies of Spring in the year of the Wood Dragon.
In Taoist medicine, Spring is associated with the liver, gall bladder, and the wood element, which represents growth and an unstoppable force of energy. This is a time of rebirth, flexibility, perserverance, resilience, and letting go to grow. It is a season rooted in vision, creativity, planning and concrete action.  
In this episode we cover how the wood element manifests in our inner and outer worlds, how to learn from conflict and limitation, the power of observing emotions, how to recognize and repair elemental imbalances, when to detox, how to crystallize and execute clear vision, and ways to support our systems through the seasonal shift with diet, meditation, mindfulness and tea. Colin shares some exciting new offerings from Living Tea. 
Thank you Colin!
