    The Flexner Report: Amanda Cowlrick on Homeopathy, Energy Medicine & Finding Her Purpose Medicine

    Description: Discover what and why the rise of modern, laboratory-centered medicine involved more than just better science. In1910, the landmark Flexner Report fundamentally rewrote the definition of real healing.

Amanda shares her inspiring journey of transitioning from an account in her mid-forties, to partially transitioning from decades of accounting to mastering natural holistic therapeutics.  Discover how Amanda brings clarity, into the realms of classical Homeopathy, Reiki, and the indigenous lineage of Atua Healing®. We dive deep into the science of individualization, the truth behind historical medical politics, and what it truly means to build an autonomous framework for personal self-care.  ✨ Special Notice: This episode is broadcast globally in syndication via the Brushwood Media Network.  🌿 ABOUT AMANDA COWLRICK & REPLENISH HEALING® Amanda Cowlrick is the founder of Replenish Healing® and Replenish Healing Retreat® based in Auckland, New Zealand.

    Rosacea, Redness the Fire from Within

    Rosacea is more than facial redness. It is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that can reflect deeper activity involving the immune system, nervous system, blood vessels, gut health, and overall inflammation. In this episode of Where Science Meets Self-Care, we explore rosacea beyond the surface, including common triggers such as sun exposure, stress, hot drinks, spicy foods, alcohol, temperature changes, and lifestyle factors. We also discuss the different types of rosacea, including redness and flushing, acne-like bumps, thickened skin, and ocular rosacea.  This conversation looks at why rosacea is often mistaken for acne, how gut health, Demodex mites, H. pylori, nervous system sensitivity, and vascular changes may contribute, and why treating only the surface may not be enough.  To inquire about Zanqara products, set up an account, or make purchases, visit Zanqara.ca or Zanqara.com, or email info@zanqara.com Use promo code IDA10 to receive 10% off your first purchase.

  5. Sound Wellness Pioneer Sharon Carne Joins Ida Fanelli to Bridge the Gap Between Music, Neuroscience, and Corporate Well-Being

    Sound Wellness Pioneer Sharon Carne Joins Ida Fanelli to Bridge the Gap Between Music, Neuroscience, and Corporate Well-Being

    "Why Sound Heals — And Not Every Sound Is Good for You" Sharon Carne, an internationally respected author, speaker, and pioneer in the field of sound wellness, recently joined Ida Fanelli for an in-depth discussion on the transformative power of sound. As the founder of the Sound Wellness Institute, Carne has spent nearly a decade establishing sound wellness as a credible, verifiable, and professionally recognized modality that bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience. A classical guitarist and educator for over 30 years with advanced degrees from Queen's University and the University of Minnesota, Carne’s journey into sound healing began in the 1990s while teaching at Mount Royal University. She discovered that intentional sound could affect people far beyond musical performance, noticing that specific exercises could calm the nervous system and even act as a carrier for thought and emotion. “Sound is food for your nervous system,” says Carne. “Physically, sound is a powerful energy that moves every atom and molecule in your body. Mentally and emotionally, the right choice of sound can regulate the nervous system, bringing the parasympathetic system online to create harmony and clarity”. Carne continues to publish and teach through the Sound Wellness Institute, offering tools that help individuals and organizations calm the nervous system and reconnect with balance. Her work remains at the intersection of music, neuroscience, and conscious leadership, proving that sound is a vital component of holistic health. About Sharon Carne: Sharon Carne is an author, speaker, and Director of Training at the Sound Wellness Institute. She is a pioneer in sound therapy, a Wellness Universe Select Member, and a former faculty member at the Mount Royal University Conservatory. About the Sound Wellness Institute: The Sound Wellness Institute provides professional competency certification in sound healing and sound therapy, helping practitioners bring credibility and high-quality training to the exploding field of sound wellness.

    The Skin Speaks: Acne is More than a Breakout

    Acne isn’t just a skin problem—it’s a message from your body. In this episode, we take a deeper look at what your skin is really trying to tell you. Instead of focusing only on creams and treatments, we explore how acne is connected to your gut, hormones, stress levels, lifestyle, and environment. If you’ve ever felt frustrated because your acne keeps coming back, this conversation will help you understand why. Your skin reflects what’s happening inside, and when something is out of balance, it often shows up as breakouts. You’ll learn: • Why acne is more than clogged pores • How diet and lifestyle can affect your skin • The role of stress and hormones in breakouts • Why using too many products can make things worse • How to support your skin in a more natural, balanced way We also talk about conditions that can look like acne—but aren’t—and why identifying the real cause is key to seeing results. This episode is about shifting your mindset. Instead of fighting your skin, start listening to it. Because your skin isn’t the enemy… it’s the messenger. 🎧 Tune in to learn how to support your skin from the inside out—for real, lasting change. Partners are featured through authentic, educational storytelling—creating visibility that feels credible rather than promotional. Each collaboration includes multi-platform exposure across YouTube, syndicated radio, and streaming platforms, along with a complimentary press release distributed prior to airing.  The show airs weekly (Tuesdays & Saturdays, multiple time slots) and remains available across additional platforms for ongoing reach.  For those ready to expand their visibility, here is the Media Kit link” https://www.estheticsbyida.com/advertisers-and-sponsors with Package options and advertising options available.  Like, share, and subscribe to the Channel for more episodes that blend science and holistic beauty, exploring topics such as red-light therapy, reflexology, hormones, melanin, lymphatic drainage, and natural healing tools.

    The Medical Map of Acne

    In this powerful discussion, we go beyond surface-level skincare and explore acne as a complex, interconnected condition involving hormones, inflammation, microbiome imbalance, and environmental triggers.  This episode breaks down how acne is properly diagnosed, why many skin conditions are often misidentified as acne (including rosacea, fungal folliculitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa), and how modern treatment strategies—from topical retinoids and benzoyl peroxide to spironolactone and isotretinoin—actually work within the body.  We also explore the deeper layers of acne as a chronic inflammatory condition, highlighting the role of internal health, antibiotic resistance, hormonal signalling (including PCOS), and the importance of personalized, interprofessional care. With emerging research on the microbiome, patient-reported outcomes, and advanced imaging technologies, acne treatment is evolving—and this episode gives you a front-row seat to that shift.  Whether you’re a skincare professional, medical practitioner, or someone struggling with persistent breakouts, this episode will change how you understand—and approach—acne.  🎧 Watch the full episode here:  ✨ Key Topics Covered:  What truly causes acne (beyond clogged pores)  Acne vs. common skin condition mimics Hormonal acne,  PCOS, and endocrine influences  Microbiome imbalance and inflammation Retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics & resistance  Medications explained  Acne during pregnancy: what’s safe and what’s not Skin barrier health and over-treatment risks Patient vs. physician perception gaps The future of acne diagnosis and treatment  Partners are featured through authentic, educational storytelling—creating visibility that feels credible rather than promotional.
