Simply the BEST ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hearing there are practitioners that are equally committed to ancient wisdom and modern discoveries is amazing! But hearing they are also dialed in with the healing energy of love and clearing ancestral trauma as part of their approach to seeing the whole person. Unbelievable, I can’t wait to be seen at their clinics.

Carol Stoney ,

Awesome and Timely! Check it out.

The information in this podcast is very interesting, informative and timely. It is crucial information for your health that is difficult to get anywhere else in such a concise and clear manner. The episodes are also enjoyable to watch because the information is explained in a way that is easy to understand and implement. I feel more motivated to take steps to improve my health and well being when I watch.

Love the content but...

Host speaking voice is too loud and boisterous and overpowers the guest speakers. I’m constantly raising and lowering the volume when I’m driving so my ears don’t bleed.

And episode 53- how does a healthcare show start off with a coke advertisement. Is this a joke?
