Wholistic Living is a podcast focused on teaching you how to understand and heal your body by addressing the root cause of chronic illness. After years of struggling with PCOS, severe IBS, eczema, psoriasis, mold toxicity, and thyroid issues, I spent countless appointments with doctors and specialists only to feel worse and without answers. When I finally turned to a holistic approach, I didn’t just manage symptoms. I healed them. Today, I am completely symptom free and thriving. With over 15 years of education in biology and holistic health, I now help others reclaim their health through education, science-backed holistic strategies, and lifestyle changes. Each episode breaks down how the body works, why symptoms appear, and what you can do to nourish, support, and heal it naturally.

    Episode 135: Melanoma Tumour Regression

    Melanoma tumour regression is possible with immune modulation. I share this incredible story of a client who experienced tumour regression when we did immune modulation. here is the science: How Th1 Immunity Relates to Melanoma Regression Spontaneous Regression: Up to half of primary cutaneous melanomas show some degree of histological regression, where the immune system attacks and destroys tumor cells, leaving behind scar tissue. Cellular Actors: Th1-skewed responses mobilize CD8+ cytotoxic T cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells to recognize tumor-associated antigens (such as MART-1) and destroy malignant melanocytes. Clinical Immunotherapy: Modern cancer treatments, like immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1, anti-CTLA-4) and TIL (tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte) therapy, work by artificially removing the "brakes" on the immune system, effectively reinvigorating a targeted Th1-type attack that can shrink or completely regress metastatic melanoma.A robust Th1 immune response is necessary for cancer regression to occur. You can support th1 immunity naturally and the sooner you do this, the better!  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6133214/ Save 25-40% OFF my favourite protein with code 'MARLA': https://www.equipfoods.com/MARLA Clearly Filtered water filters (10% off with this link): https://clearlyfiltered.com/WHOLISTICHOMEOPATH Beef organ sticks and beef tallow (code 'MARLA'): https://lineageprovisions.com/MARLA Work with me: https://holisticspring.com/contact INstagram: @wholistichomeopath

    Episode 130: Why You Are Reacting to Everything Including The SUN - Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination

    Have you reached the point where you feel like you're reacting to almost everything you eat, breathe or touch? In this episode, we’re talking about the connection between mold exposure, food sensitivities, extreme dietary restrictions, and Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE). I share examples from my practice of clients who have developed incredibly restrictive diets after dealing with severe mold exposure and environmental sensitivities, sometimes getting down to only a handful of foods they feel safe eating. While elimination diets can be helpful temporarily, avoiding large numbers of foods for years or even a lifetime is not necessarily the ideal goal. We’ll talk about why some people can become increasingly reactive, the importance of looking beyond simply eliminating another food, and the role that gut health, inflammation, the immune system, the nervous system and environmental factors can play in overall sensitivity.I also explain Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE), what it is, how a session works, why some people use it for food and environmental sensitivities, and where it may fit into a broader holistic approach. If you’re struggling with mold-related illness, food sensitivities, environmental allergies, digestive issues, or an increasingly restrictive diet, this episode will help you look at your symptoms from a different perspective and consider whether the goal should be lifelong avoidance or finding ways to support greater resilience and tolerance.

    Episode 129: Glyphosate, Autoimmune & America’s Cancer Belt

    Could one of the most widely used herbicides in America be connected to rising rates of cancer? In this episode, we explore the growing body of research surrounding glyphosate, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemia, and cancer rates across the United States. We take a closer look at Iowa and other agricultural states, where heavy glyphosate use overlaps with elevated rates of certain cancers, and discuss what researchers have found about glyphosate exposure and blood cancers. We also examine CDC biomonitoring data showing how widespread glyphosate exposure is among Americans, including children.You’ll learn about the potential mechanisms researchers are investigating, including oxidative stress, DNA damage, immune dysfunction, inflammation, and gut microbiome disruption, and why reducing unnecessary pesticide exposure may be an important part of a long-term approach to health.In this episode: Glyphosate use across the United StatesIowa, agricultural regions, and cancer ratesGlyphosate and non-Hodgkin lymphomaThe research on glyphosate and leukemiaCDC findings on glyphosate exposure in adults and childrenHow glyphosate may contribute to oxidative stress and inflammationPotential effects on the gut microbiome and immune systemPractical ways to reduce everyday pesticide exposureIf you've ever wondered how environmental chemicals may influence cancer risk, immune health, and chronic disease, this episode is for you.
