    Nadine Artemis (Living Libations) - The Ancient Beauty Wisdom We Forgot

    Leigh Ann welcomes Nadine Artemis, founder of Living Libations, for a conversation on ancestral beauty, essential oils, oil cleansing, oral care, and what modern skincare may be getting wrong. Nadine shares how her childhood in nature, early fascination with perfume, and discovery of essential oils eventually led her to open one of North America’s first full-concept aromatherapy stores and create Living Libations. She explains why she looks to ancient beauty practices and pre-synthetic traditions to understand what the skin, mouth, and body actually need to stay in harmony. Leigh Ann and Nadine discuss the skin microbiome, oil cleansing, synthetic ingredients, hyaluronic acid, retinol, vitamin C, essential oils, deodorant, oral care, and the ways modern products can sometimes create dependency loops rather than true repair. Nadine also shares practical starting points for simplifying skincare, including using high-quality oils to cleanse, swapping out toxic toothpaste, and choosing products that support rather than disrupt the body’s innate intelligence.

    Dr. Melanie Icard - The Root Causes We’re Missing in Heart Disease

    Leigh Ann welcomes Dr. Melanie Icard for a conversation on heart health, heart disease, metabolism, stress, and what conventional cardiac care often misses. Dr. Icard shares how losing her mother to breast cancer at a young age, becoming a mother herself, and later reversing her own pre-diabetes led her into naturopathic medicine and metabolic healing. She explains why cholesterol alone does not tell the full story of cardiovascular risk and why plaque, inflammation, insulin resistance, chronic stress, and lifestyle patterns all need to be addressed together. Leigh Ann and Dr. Icard discuss testing tools like comprehensive labs, continuous glucose monitors, Cleerly imaging, and carotid artery screening, along with practical interventions like intermittent fasting, circadian eating, movement after meals, herbal detoxing, gut support, and reducing seed oils. Dr. Icard also emphasizes that many heart patients are high-functioning doers who hold everything together, rarely ask for support, and may be living in chronic survival mode even if they appear healthy on the outside.

    Dr. Bruce Lipton - Beyond Darwin: How Belief Shapes Biology

    Leigh Ann welcomes Bruce Lipton to discuss his new book Beyond Darwin and how outdated beliefs about evolution, genetics, competition, and survival may be shaping both our world and our health. Bruce explains why he believes Darwinian ideas like genetic determinism and “survival of the fittest” have contributed to a culture of victimhood, competition, environmental destruction, and disempowerment. He contrasts this with the framework of epigenetics, emphasizing that consciousness, perception, and belief can influence the internal environment of the body and the way genes are expressed. Leigh Ann connects Bruce’s work to cancer and chronic illness, especially the shift from seeing the body as broken or at war with itself to asking what the body is trying to communicate and what environment it needs to heal. Bruce also shares his personal experience with tongue cancer, describing how he interpreted it as a message connected to expression, purpose, and finally writing the book he had delayed for years.

    Dr. Aimie Apigian - The Biological Differences Between Stress and Trauma

    Leigh Ann welcomes Dr. Aimie Apigian, physician and author of The Biology of Trauma, for a conversation on how trauma impacts the body at a biological and cellular level. Dr. Apigian shares how her own experience with chronic fatigue syndrome and autoimmunity led her to understand that trauma healing requires more than mindset work or traditional therapy alone. She explains the difference between a stress response and a trauma response, emphasizing that trauma occurs when the body perceives that it cannot overcome a threat, whether for psychological, emotional, or biological reasons. Leigh Ann and Dr. Apigian explore how unresolved trauma can contribute to chronic illness, autoimmunity, cancer, fatigue, nervous system dysregulation, and patterns of collapse or shutdown. The conversation also highlights why many people flare during trauma work, why stabilization must come before deeper processing, and why creating a felt sense of “safe enough” in the body is often the first step.

    245. Dr. Scott Sherr (Troscriptions) - The Science of Calm and What To Do When You’re Too Depleted to Self-Regulate

    In this episode, Leigh Ann welcomes Dr. Scott Sherr, co-founder of Troscriptions, for a conversation on GABA, anxiety, stress, sleep, and fast-acting nervous system support. Dr. Sherr shares how his background in internal medicine, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and health optimization medicine led him to help create products designed to support people while they are on a longer healing journey. He explains why many people may be struggling with GABA deficiency, how chronic stress can deplete the body’s calming pathways, and why anxiety, insomnia, racing thoughts, and low energy are often interconnected. Leigh Ann and Dr. Sherr discuss the unique buccal troche delivery method, how it differs from capsules and sublingual supplements, and why it can allow for faster absorption and more flexible dosing. The conversation also explores TroCalm, Trozy, alcohol’s impact on the GABA-glutamate balance, sleep architecture, and why calming the nervous system does not have to mean feeling sedated.

    Diana Salcido - Dismissed to Diagnosed: Stage 3C Colon Cancer, A Journey of Integrative Healing

    In this episode, Leigh Ann welcomes Diana Salcido to share her deeply personal story of being diagnosed with stage 3C colon cancer after nearly a year of symptoms, medical dismissal, panic, abdominal pain, and an inner knowing that something was wrong. Diana walks listeners through the frightening path to diagnosis, including ER visits, being told she was simply anxious or constipated, an eventual bowel obstruction, emergency surgery, and the discovery that the cancer had spread to four lymph nodes. She also shares the complications that followed, including a leak, a second emergency surgery, an ileostomy, severe weight loss, pleural effusion, abscesses, additional surgery, and the loneliness of healing from injuries and trauma that others could not always see. Diana and Leigh Ann discuss the emotional toll of cancer, the difficulty of making treatment decisions amid conflicting medical opinions, and Diana’s choice to pursue an integrative path guided by body intuition, discernment, and personalized support. The conversation explores the physical, emotional, and spiritual layers of healing, including trauma work, faith, rest, sunlight, diet changes, supplements, acupuncture, frequency therapies, and learning when to pivot based on what the body is communicating.

    Cheryl Sew Hoy - The First 1,000 Days: Infant Gut Health and Lifelong Immunity

    Leigh Ann welcomes Cheryl Sew Hoy, founder of Tiny Health, for a conversation on infant gut health, microbiome testing, and why the first 1,000 days of life matter so deeply for long-term immune development. Cheryl shares how her own C-section birth experience with her daughter led her to research the differences between C-section and vaginally born babies’ gut microbiomes, eventually inspiring her to create Tiny Health. The conversation explores how early-life factors like C-sections, antibiotic use, breastfeeding, solid foods, parental microbiomes, pets, nature exposure, and stress can shape a child’s gut ecosystem. Cheryl explains why an infant’s microbiome is easier to shift than an adult’s, how missing beneficial bacteria may contribute to eczema, allergies, asthma, GI issues, and other chronic conditions, and why testing can help parents take more targeted action. Leigh Ann and Cheryl also discuss adult gut testing, the gut-brain connection, probiotics, stool testing technology, and why a “good” supplement is not necessarily helpful if your body does not need it.
