Natalie Kasana

The Truthwards podcast with Natalie Kasana aims to get to the bottom of which natural solutions actually work for each chronic health condition by interviewing real people on their stories of healing. In the US, 60% of adults and 40% of children suffer from a chronic health condition. Managing chronic health conditions accounts for 90% of the nation's 4.1 trillion in annual healthcare spending. Yet for many chronic health conditions, clear solutions that actually solve the problem are still not widely known or proven. While people know there are benefits to many natural health and wellness methods, it's not clear which is most effective for which illness, or which combination is most effective for each person. Meanwhile, people all over the world are sharing stories on social media of how they've healed themselves from these conditions. It's time we gather all these stories of natural true healing in one place, and in enough detail that anyone at home could replicate them if they wanted to. It's time we extract the insights and similarities across success stories so people don't have to figure that out on their own when they're sick. It's time we believe that true solutions are actually possible, and move towards a world in which the best ones are proven and recommended by your doctor. It's time we actually try to put an end to all this suffering, instead of just managing symptoms forever. The Truthwards podcast is the first step towards that goal.
