    Body, Breath and Somatic Healing

    Dr. Jennifer Hopkins welcomes Sarah Felco to discuss mind-body-spirit alignment and how unprocessed emotions and trauma are stored in the body. They explore practical ways to calm the nervous system and clear mental chatter through breathwork, yoga, qigong, tapping, time in nature, and reflection on bodily signals like digestion and pain. Sarah explains somatic vocal sound healing (“scream therapy”) and other release practices such as singing, shaking, dancing, and orgasm, emphasizing that moving energy can create lightness and reduce triggers that may show up as migraines, gut issues, anxiety, or depression. The conversation also covers forgiveness, boundaries, relationship dynamics, and spiritual tools including working with archangels and the violet consuming flame.

    Dr. Jennifer Hopkins ends her spring cleaning series where everything begins. The gut.

She covers what alcohol, antibiotics, processed food, and chronic stress are doing to your microbiome, how leaky gut and the estrobolome are connected to everything from anxiety to autoimmune disease, and the exact gut cleanse and daily support protocol she uses in her practice.

    Struggling with Weight, Hormones, or Fatigue? Start With Your Liver

    In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Hopkins continues her “inside-out” spring cleaning series by shifting the focus to one of the hardest-working, most overlooked organs in your body, your liver. She breaks down why this incredible organ is responsible for over 500 functions, from filtering your blood and balancing hormones to digesting fats, regulating blood sugar, and helping control inflammation. Basically, your liver is doing a lot behind the scenes, every single day, without ever asking for a break. But here’s the catch… modern life isn’t exactly easy on it. Dr. Hopkins walks through how everyday habits like alcohol, processed foods, medications, stress, poor sleep, and environmental toxins can slowly overburden the liver, often without obvious symptoms at first. Over time, this can show up as things like fatigue, stubborn weight, bloating, skin issues, disrupted sleep, and more. She also explains why many people never think to look at the liver as the root cause, even though it plays a central role in so many systems in the body. You’ll learn how liver cleansing works, why it doesn’t have to be extreme, and how to support your body through it in a way that feels safe, effective, and sustainable. Dr. Hopkins shares the specific cleanse she uses in her practice, along with supportive tools and simple lifestyle habits that help your liver do its job more efficiently. If you’ve been feeling “off” and can’t quite figure out why, this episode might connect some important dots, and give you a whole new appreciation for the organ that’s been quietly taking care of you all along. 00:00 Liver Wake Up Call 00:24 Show Intro Welcome 01:05 Why Focus On Liver 02:15 Meet The Liver 03:16 Regeneration And Cholesterol 07:40 Modern Life Overload 10:25 Alcohol Meds And Toxins 14:30 Stress Sugar And Fatty Liver 17:48 Master Filter And Symptoms 19:07 Hormones Estrogen Case Study 26:49 Bile Fat Digestion And Weight 29:33 Blood Sugar And Inflammation 31:39 Inflammation And Liver Load 32:42 Hidden Chemical Exposures 34:15 Alcohol Sleep And Detox 35:23 Cholesterol Starts In Liver 36:57 Liver Support Supplements 39:47 Six Day Liver Cleanse 42:55 Detox Pathways And Bile 46:50 Food Sleep And Lymph 52:17 Rapid Fire Q And A 59:05 Wrap Up And Next Episode

    Parasites: The Hidden Invaders Wreaking Havoc on Your Health

    In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Hopkins kicks off a new spring “reset” series, exploring how the body naturally clears what it no longer needs and what happens when that process gets overwhelmed. She begins with one of the most overlooked and often uncomfortable topics in health: parasites. This conversation is not about fear. It is about awareness. Dr. Hopkins explains why parasitic exposure is far more common than most people realize, how it happens through everyday life, and why it is rarely addressed in conventional care. From food and water to pets, soil, and daily environmental contact, exposure is often unavoidable. She breaks down what parasites actually do inside the body, how they can quietly steal nutrients, disrupt gut health, trigger inflammation, and affect energy, mood, sleep, and overall function. She also explains why common symptoms like fatigue, bloating, brain fog, and skin changes are often labeled without ever asking what is driving them. You will also learn why conventional testing frequently misses parasitic infections, how symptoms can overlap with common diagnoses like IBS or chronic fatigue, and why this may be a missing piece for many people who still do not feel well. This episode sets the foundation for understanding what may be contributing to your symptoms and why your body may be asking for a deeper reset. In the next episode, Dr. Hopkins will walk through how to safely support the body in clearing these organisms and why proper detox support matters. 00:00 Parasites Are Everywhere 00:32 Spring Reset Series 02:31 Why Cleanse Matters 04:59 Testing Myths Explained 06:29 Parasites 101 Basics 09:03 How Common Are They 11:28 How You Get Exposed 14:07 Water Food And Pets 18:48 Everyday Contact Risks 23:40 What Parasites Do Inside 24:50 Nutrient Deficiency Clues 28:13 Snacks and Gut Reset 29:18 Leaky Gut Explained 30:48 Inflammation and Immune Alarm 34:02 Parasites and the Brain 36:08 Common Parasite Symptoms 41:20 Sugar Cravings and Skin Clues 46:09 Testing Limits and Mislabels 49:51 Q and A Parasite Reality 55:06 Lyme Connection and Wrap Up

    Why You Are Bloated, Tired and Toxic: Your Body’s Most Powerful Detox Tool

    Many people experience symptoms like puffiness, fatigue, brain fog, and inflammation and assume the cause is hormones, metabolism, or diet. But one often overlooked system may be involved: the lymphatic system. In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Hopkins explains how the lymphatic system functions as the body’s drainage and detox network, clearing toxins, pathogens, cellular waste, and excess fluid while supporting immune health and energy. Nearly 70% of the immune system lives in the gut and lymphatic system, making healthy lymphatic flow essential. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system has no pump. It relies on movement, deep breathing, hydration, and muscle contractions to circulate fluid. Modern lifestyle factors like stress, prolonged sitting, shallow breathing, and inflammation can slow lymphatic flow, contributing to symptoms like swelling, fatigue, frequent illness, and feeling toxic or stagnant. Dr. Hopkins shares simple ways to support lymphatic drainage, including walking, rebounding, box breathing, dry brushing, sauna therapy, cold exposure, hydration, strength training, and lymphatic massage. She also explains the connection between the nervous system, stress, and lymphatic congestion. The episode concludes with a practical Q&A covering lymphatic health, common symptoms of sluggish lymph flow, and ways to support the body’s natural detox pathways. 00:00 Puffy and Stuck 00:36 Lymph Basics 01:36 Why Lymph Stalls 02:48 Signs of Congestion 03:51 Immune System Link 05:43 Stress and Flow 07:03 At Home Fixes 10:35 Massage and Machines 12:20 Is Your Lymph Sluggish 13:42 Emotions and Stagnation 15:32 Inflammation and GLP1s 17:01 Key Takeaways 19:29 Quick Q and A 29:59 Final Flow Reminder
