    Unlocking the Healing Power of Iridology: Natural Medicine with Peter Jackson Main

    Special Offer: Philly can get you £250 off a course at the College of Naturopathic Medicine! To access this incredible offer and explore CNM courses, Just say PHILLY sent you and visit this link. Iridology is a natural health technique that involves examining the iris, the coloured part of the eye, to assess a person's overall health. Practitioners believe that specific areas of the iris correspond to different organs and systems in the body, revealing imbalances, weaknesses, or potential health issues. By studying patterns, colours, and other characteristics of the iris, iridologists can gain insights into a person's physical and emotional well-being. While it is not used to diagnose diseases, iridology helps identify areas where the body may need support, guiding individuals towards natural healing and preventive care. In today’s episode, Philly sits down with Peter Jackson Main, a true pioneer in the field of natural healing. Peter has been teaching at CNM since 2003 and is the Course Director for Herbal Medicine, the Academic Director, and the Head of Research at the College. Peter began his journey into holistic health after leaving Cambridge University in the mid-70s, driven by his own health challenges. From Reflexology, Massage, Aromatherapy, and Polarity Therapy, Peter’s quest for healing knowledge led him to The College of Herbs and Natural Healing, where he trained in Herbal Medicine and Iridology. He later achieved a Master of Sciences, further cementing his expertise in natural healing. Peter is a co-founder and former long-serving chairman of the Association of Master Herbalists. His influence on the herbal and naturopathic community is profound, having represented these fields in key governmental consultations. He is currently Chair of the General Naturopathic Council and a Fellow of the Guild of Naturopathic Iridologists. Additionally, Peter is Senior Lecturer, Course Director for Herbal Medicine, and Head of Research at the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM). Beyond his contributions to natural healing, Peter has a deep love for music. He is a talented musician, known for his self-penned recordings, and plays percussion in an Arab Takht ensemble, showcasing his passion for Arabian music. Stay tuned as Peter and Philly discuss the journey of natural healing, the challenges facing the herbal medicine community, and Peter’s fascinating work in both naturopathy and music.

    Just how TOXIC are seed oils? - with Bobby Qureshi

    VIVOBAREFOOT are the proud sponsors of today's episode (website). To reconnect with Earth by wearing REAL shoes, it's PJL20 for 20% off your first order. You're welcome! Just how TOXIC are seed oils? - with Bobby Qureshi In this week's informative episode of The Wellness Way Podcast, Philly interviews Bobby Qureshi, an experienced and respected Nutritional Therapist, Naturopath and Educator. Bobby is the Director of Education for the largest training provider for natural therapies in the UK and Ireland – the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM). He obtained a Master of Osteopathy (M.Ost) degree from the prestigious University College of Osteopathy and is a qualified Naturopath (ND) and Nutritional Therapist. He has experience working in various UK-based clinical practices and has helped over a thousand patients improve their health with natural medicine. He has expertise in a variety of disciplines related to natural healthcare and prides himself on being able to provide natural and individualised clinical services to patients presenting with a range of health issues.
