    Rethinking Medicine, Health and Our Connection with Nature with Dr Kristina Höschlová - Ep.68

    From War Zones to Inner Healing: Rethinking Medicine, Health and Our Connection with Nature | Dr Kristina Höschlová Interview date: 1st April 2025 What does it mean to truly heal? And how might our understanding of health change if we looked beyond treating symptoms to consider the interconnectedness of our body, mind and natural environment? In this episode of Authentic Tea, I sit down with Dr Kristina Höschlová, an emergency and mountain medicine specialist whose extraordinary medical career has taken her from helicopter rescue missions in the Alps to humanitarian work in some of the world's most challenging conflict zones, including Afghanistan, Yemen and Ukraine. After more than two decades working in emergency medicine, Kristina's experiences have shaped a deep curiosity about the human body's capacity to adapt, recover and heal. They have also led her to question how we approach health and healthcare, and how we might bring together the strengths of conventional Western medicine with complementary, non-invasive approaches. Kristina is the founder of Mehana Institute – Medicina in Harmonia cum Natura, an initiative bringing together medical knowledge, complementary therapies and education to help people develop a more active relationship with their own health. We explore the experiences and insights behind her journey, including: Medicine at the extremes: What working in mountain rescue and conflict zones teaches us about human resilience, improvisation and the instinct to survive. The body's capacity to heal: Understanding our innate capacity for recovery and the role of the mind in our physical health. Rethinking conventional medicine: Why complementary approaches need not be in opposition to Western medicine, and how the two can work together. The healing power of nature: Reconnecting with the natural world and recognising its importance for our physical and emotional health. Finding balance: Exploring how joy, beauty, compassion and inner peace can contribute to a healthier and more meaningful life. This is a conversation about much more than medicine. It is about resilience, curiosity, human potential and rediscovering the resources we already have within ourselves and the world around us. About Dr Kristina Höschlová Dr Kristina Höschlová is a medical doctor specialising in anaesthesiology, emergency and mountain medicine. She has worked in emergency and helicopter rescue services in Europe and undertaken humanitarian medical missions in Afghanistan, Kurdistan, Yemen and Ukraine. She is the founder of Mehana Institute, which promotes an integrative approach to health through medical education and non-pharmacological and non-invasive complementary techniques. She is also an educator and author of three books, including You Are Doctor Too (2025).

    Leisha Drews - Hormonal Health and Finding Balance Ep. 67

    Episode Summary In this episode of the Authentic Tea podcast, host Dr Rachel Beanland talks with Leisha Drews, a registered nurse turned functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and holistic hormone coach. Leisha shares how her experiences in hospital medicine and motherhood led her to explore a more holistic approach to health. She discusses how menstrual-cycle phases can influence energy, mood, creativity, and daily life—and how cycle awareness may help women plan, rest, and respond to their needs with more self-compassion. The conversation also explores why hormone symptoms can be clues to broader patterns in the body, the value of combining holistic and conventional care, and a practical starting point for nutrition: eating a nourishing breakfast within 30 to 60 minutes of waking. Leisha explains her transition from nursing to coaching, her focus on supporting women and mothers, and how podcasting became a more sustainable way to share her work. This episode is for anyone curious about understanding their body, supporting hormone health, and finding a more balanced approach to wellbeing.
