hol+ by Dr. Taz

Welcome to hol+, the podcast where science meets spirit. I’m your host, Dr. Taz, a double board-certified medical doctor, integrative health expert, nutritionist, acupuncturist and founder and CEO of hol+. This show empowers you with the knowledge to heal not just your body but also your relationships, your communities, and our world. Medicine is in crisis and the path and journey to healing is far too fragmented. Globally, the medicine of today is far behind the calling of our current times. Our current healthcare system leaves patients fed up and frustrated, symptoms and complaints are dismissed and the global disease burden only gets more expensive and illusive–all in the context of a changing environment, toxic planet, and increasingly fractured family units. Dr. Taz MD and her guests tackle all things medicine, health, wellness, and family. Each episode enters that space where the layers of our being intersect; physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, community, and even the influence of our environment. You’ll hear expert interviews, personal stories, and actionable tips that cut through the noise, bringing you clarifying and coveted "aha!" moments for both you and your loved ones. hol+ is more than a podcast—it’s a movement. It’s an invitation to heal not just our bodies, but our relationships, our communities, and our world. Tune in today!
