    🌿Herbal Medicine, Lifestyle, & Cancer with Chanchal Cabrera MSc, FNIMH, (RH)AHG

    🌿Herbal Medicine, Lifestyle, & Cancer with Chanchal Cabrera MSc, FNIMH, (RH)AHG

    In this episode, I had the honor of chatting with a brilliant teacher of mine, Medical  Herbalist & Horticulture Therapist, Chanchal Cabrera MSc, FNIMH, RH(AHG) , who’s spent years exploring how herbalism can coexist with modern cancer care. 
    Chanchal began her journey in herbalism and took that deep plant wisdom right into cancer research and care. We talking about how herbs can play a crucial role in supporting patients through their cancer journeys, from reducing treatment side effects to helping those in end-of-life stages find peace.  
    We also get real about the politics of food, and how the system is set up to keep us sick. Good nutrition should be a right, not a privilege, ya know?  It was truly a beautiful and inspiring conversations to have.
    In a world where health care is often a maze of complicated decisions, Chanchal shows us how herbs can offer patients not just physical relief but emotional and spiritual comfort as well. 
    Whether you’re an herbal enthusiast, someone touched by cancer, or just someone interested in alternative healing paths, you won’t want to miss this one.

    Chanchal has an excellent new book out, Holistic Cancer Care, where she brings together her decades of research and hands on practice helping those with cancer care, and  end of life times. Grab the book here.

    Be sure to find Chanchal online here, and follow her on IG. If you're super lucky, you'll get to spend some time touring her magical botanical healing gardens Innisfree Gardens.

    Sacred Plant Medicine and Healing with Dr. Maya Shetreat MD

    Sacred Plant Medicine and Healing with Dr. Maya Shetreat MD

    Diving into the world of herbalism and alternative healing, this episode with Dr. Maya Shetreat proved to be a game-changer. A pediatric neurologist, author, and holistic wellness advocate, her insights about plant medicines, neuroplasticity, and the profound connection between mind, body, and nature left me awe-inspired.
    Exploring ancient wisdom, Dr. Maya highlighted the potential of plant medicines in our modern world. Notably, she emphasized that connecting with plants can be as transformative as consuming them, likening it to a dance with nature.
     
    A standout moment was our exploration of "quantum dosing." Dr. Maya introduced me to "Quantum Drops ," master plant products created through a sacred process. These drops act as a tonic, offering the healing power of plants through vibrational connection. This revelation shifted my perspective on how plants impact us.
     
    Throughout our conversation, Dr. Maya shared stories illustrating the transformative power of plant medicines. Her insights into neuroplasticity, quantum dosing, and plant energies were both illuminating and impactful. The episode is a wealth of insights – a must-listen. You can connect with Dr. Maya through her website or Instagram (@drmayashetreat).
