The Gutsy Herbalist

present moment awareness, be here now. yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift which is why it i s called "the present".if you feel like your mind is pulled 100 different ways, multiple tabs always open, treading water, things are slipping between your finger tips - could you find more present moment awareness. we still do everything we need to do - but we do it full hearted, we do it with presence and ultimately peace followshealing always, hannah

if i knew 10 years ago what i know now, I would tell myself take the curriculum.when i was navigating depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation - i wish i would have known that all of that big energy was coming up was really there to show me how to drop the veil, step into my truth, how to heal, and grow into the highest version of myself. everything i learned then, allows me to navigate life's challenges now (not perfectly, but much more refined)what i wish i would have known then is that time was actually my greatest gift. it may not feel like it in the moment (trust me i know) but what I can tell you standing on the other side is this, if you are committed to yourself, committed to peace, committed to healing and happiness - this is your season of learning and building your tool box. instead of looking at it like "why is life happening to me" .....for each big thing coming up ask "how am i being pushed to grow through this", "what is this showing me" , "how is this leveling me up" when you do that over and over again you build an inner resilience no one can ever take away, you become the wise woman because you've sat in the fire and didn't turn away from it by masking, drinking, smoking, ignoring it - you faced it head on and allowed it to refine you. so if you feel like you've hit rock bottom, your in your first crisis moment, you can't see the light, and you're having a dark night of the soul moment - soak it all up, be a sponge, build out your toolbox, and take the curriculum.

why do we as humans keep saying - diet starts monday or make plans to go to the gym and then don't? what happens when we don't do what we say we are going to? most folks instantly feel a sense of dread, talk negatively about themselves, embarrassed, perhaps depression sinks in. but most importantly, we lose trust with ourselves. what if you're someone who feels nervous to make plans because "will I be able to follow through when those plans get there and actually be able to do it?" so instead you either don't make plans and aren't living your life or you make the plans, bail, and the negative self talk kicks in. sound familiar?in todays episode let's talk about how you can change the narrative, change the story and become a person who shows up in life. when you show up in the every day....you show up with full capacity everywhere in life, because how you do one thing, is how you do everything. life is meant to be lived! and you are meant to trust and show up for yourself !

have something on your heart? a stirring? an inner knowing? a whispering voice?what if what's on your heart doesn't resonate with what society or your parents deemed as successful but you feel in an absolute flow state when you are living in that space?here is your reminder YOU ARE MEANT TO LIVE FROM YOUR HEART SPACE. if everyone did what was "normal" we wouldn't have art, music, healing, cooks, good moms, chefs, innovators! when you live in your light - you give others permission to do the same, you awaken the spark in their heart. may we all wake up and live from this space.VALUE SORT CARDS EXCERSIE https://www.motivationalinterviewing.org/sites/default/files/valuescardsort_0.pdfVALUE CARD INSTRUCTIONShttps://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:fac0c4c6-84e6-4df3-814d-46e6e3605ffe

you know how i feel by now - your body is capable of healing and I'm tired of people thinking that debilitating cycles, extremely heavy flows, and hysterectomies are "the normal"while you may have been told that those terrible pains were your forever and normal - they don't have to be. (and perhaps you do need conventional intervention - but you can partner that alongside nutrition and lifestyle for more ease)often times hormone imbalances are the result of not enough building blocks or not enough nutrients, stress, inflammation, endocrine disruptors, and insulin/metabolic dysregulation. (there is certainly a genetic component -but as the quote goes "genetics loads the gun and lifestyle pulls the trigger")-hormones aren't the bad guys, but a way of telling your body that something is off. your body is speaking to you and asking for you to listen. -usually when we give the body what it needs and work on the foundations (movement, nourishment, sleep and stress) the body starts to heal- it's not about it being "perfect" but taking steps back towards healings. and yes while endo, PMOS, infertility, and excess estrogen are different diagnosis - they have similar foundations you can begin to work on. once you have worked the foundation steps, we get to come in with some more specific herbs, labs, or nutrients. listen in to this weeks episode about walking your body home to health so you can feel more balanced, have more peace, and live the life of good energy you desire.

my favorite episode i have recorded to date - so you know that is good stuff.I sat down with Rich Larochelle of the Rappahannock Education Farm to discuss how one farm is trying to close the gap on food scarcity in their community.It's not a secret that certain communities and populations have a harder time accessing healthy foods, whether that be lack of funding, access, availability, the means to prepare fresh foods, or lack of education.but it's also not a secret thathealth = wealth, that nutrition allows folks to heal, feel good, prevent illness, stay alert in school, have energy, show up in life.The Rappahannock Education Farm is on a mission in Fredericksburg to grow over 100,000lbs of fresh produce and close that food insecurity gap; to get in the hands of community members FOR FREE! And they are doing it.This episode highlights that when we are walking in our life's purpose, show up together in our unique gifts, work to support not just ourselves but others that anything can happen. Trust. Faith.So if you have something BIG on your heart - a desire to do something bigger than yourself, to leave an impact in your lifetime, support your community, it's possible for you. You have a gift. You are here for a reason.Highest gratitude to Rich, if you know him, you know how truly special of a human he is.Gratitude to the farm for all they provide.Gratitude to God for bringing us together as humans to support one another and walk each other homeTo Donate or Volunteer : https://www.rappahannockfarm.org/Enjoy!

When I was exhausted - I felt what it would feel like to have good energyWhen I was reactive, I felt like peace and happiness felt likeWhen I was anxious and nervous but wanted to do something big - I felt what confident business ownership was. I felt it, became an energetic match for it - and then manifested it into my life. I now have good energy, have peace with my family, and happily own a business I love. it's not perfect but wow does it feel good! I used to spend a lot of time analyzing what was wrong with me "I am depressed because" " I never have energy" I can't open a business because", I don't have consistent energy" "I can't stick with things" but by doing that... i was reinforcing those thoughts - solidifying those truths. One day - I just decided to do it differently. I felt how I wanted my life to feel, saw it, envisioned it, meditated on it, spoke it - all before it was actually here. I manifested it into my life. Here is the deal...suffering is optional, who knows why we're here but we get to decide how want life to go going forward Health, healing, and abundance is available to all.Our brain is POWERFUL and if we stay in that negative feedback loop - that becomes our truth. If we show our brain what we want - over and over and over again - that becomes our new truth. Knowing that is true for you, how would you rather feel? Confident? Strong? Healthy? Energetic? Owner of an Airstream? To have abundance and support people who support the Earth? Travel?Yes it may feel a little woo woo or far out, but why not try if everything else is feeling stuck?If you are curious how manifestation can support your health, energy, and life - check out this weeks podcast.

As a former NICU and GI Nurse, G tubes and Blenderized Feeding are a match made in heaven. Typical formula blends like ensure are a mix of sugar, processed oils, and synthetic vitamins. I would bet my bottom dollar that anyone who was on those long term would have chronic constipation/diarrhea, reflux, indigestion, poor wound healing, and overall poor health. This is all to common for tube families, but real food is an option to everyone and a way to get deep nourishment in the body. Whether you take food by mouth or by tube...real food should be accessible to us all. In this episode we are talking about -what is tube feeding -how real, blenderized feeds can support digestion, the microbiome, gut healing which in turn supports overall health. -how to transition to blenderized feeds -how herbal medicine can be apart of your g tube journey HEALING ALWAYS my tubie families <3 Hannah

For folks who can't break down chitin and have a reaction to mushrooms - can mushroom tinctures be beneficial instead of powders or whole mushrooms?

THIS WEEKS PODCAST: HOW GI-MAP TESTING CAN UNCOVER THE ROOT CAUSE OF YOUR SYMPTOMS. If you've been following along you know one thing about me I AM A ROOT CAUSE MEDICINE girly aka I always want to figure out WHY something is happening so we can bring your body back into balance and let it do what it does best. The body is designed to heal and thrive when given what it needs. This week we are talking about GI-MAP or microbiome testing and how it uncovered a low level of a specific bacteria that supports metabolic function, insulin resistance, and weight loss in two of my clients who were struggling with metabolic imbalance. Akkermansia AND my own GI-MAP that I ran for loose stools and reflux which showed H.Pylori, and low levels of Staph + Pseudomonas (which is pretty normal for these overgrowths) and the specific herbal plan I made to clear up these overgrowths and get back into balance :) GI-MAP testing can take the guess work out of WHY we are having gut symptoms, show us clearly what is going on, and then create a unique plan using herbs and supplements SPECIFICALLY for your needs. Saving us time + money in the long run. Oh and of course...feeling better again <3 Be Gutsy + Healing Always

TO SUPPLEMENT OR NOT SUPPLEMENT...THAT IS THE QUESTION. I get these Q's a lot Is supplementation necessary? Do I need supplements to be healthy? What supplements are going to "fix" this issue? The answer? It depends. It's confusing when the supplement industry is a 203 BILLION DOLLAR industry, we feel sicker than ever yet ....never in human history were we encapsulating products and we were fine. So what gives?? P.s. this is the beautiful part about science or testing especially in autoimmunity, cancers, gut dysbiosis, diabetes, and more because we can use lab data to help with targeted supplementation and herbal remedies and retest to ensure we are going in the right direction. Tune in for this weeks episode <3 Healing always

As humans we all have unique gifts we came here with. Often times we shut down our most authentic selves out of fear. Instead what if we realized that we were meant to share our gifts with the the world, that was the reason we are here, that no one else has our medicine.

Exhaustion is EXHAUSTING. Feeling run down, heavy, and depleted is not how we were meant to live these human lives. Life is meant to be LIVED!

Tune in to this weeks episode to support your body into feeling vibrant again. P.s.

When we moved into our home, before we planted our garden - we tested our soil. Why ? Because I had no idea what the health of our soil was , the pH, the nutrients . I needed to get a baseline . Plants need certain nutrients to grow and thrive - and when we got the results - I knew exactly what amendments I needed to add for the soil to be a happy growth medium. The result - an abundant garden. I could have just thrown some stuff in the ground , tried some random amendments, and hoped for the best but most likely I would have had a poor harvest. Testing our gut microbiome is the same idea. It’s to show us where we are starting to help us get to where we want to go.good energy, healthy gut , vital lifestyle . If we’ve had a lot of imbalance , gut infections, antibiotics , etc. OR a lot of chronic health symptoms such as reflux, constipation, hormone imbalance , autoimmunity , or low energy . Testing the gut can begin to show us the ROOT CAUSE and what specifically we need to bring in for support . You can continue to do the guesswork but also…. The numbers don’t lie. Tune in for this episode on HOW why test and WHY we test the gut. Happy healing always, Hannah

Healing the Root. When we buy a home one of the first questions we ask is ...how is the foundation? Why? Because if the foundation is shaky, we risk collapse. Healing our root chakra and our foundation is the same, and necessary for integrated healing. The root is responsible for our right to be here, our basic safety needs being met, nourishment, feeling safe, and overall health and vitality. If you feel like you constantly have a bee in your bonnet, hypervigilant, anxious thoughts, crispy and burnout, and fear spirals and are unable to ground your energy OR feeling like heavy, stuck, I can't get going, rigid boundaries, I have no energy. Then this episode is for you. As humans we are capable of creativity, manifestation, joy, peace, happiness, vitality, and wellness, but in order to get into those elevated states we have to have a foundation that can support us. Healing our root chakra is the first chakra and first level to healing. When the root is healed we feel rooted, grounded, good energy and vitality, we feel safe and capable of handling ANY situation that comes our way. At the end of the day we can't control external factors, but we can control how we show up in the world. You deserve to be here. You are strong. Your body is safe and capable of healing. Your needs are worthy of being met. You are enough.

If you are living in alignment with the seasons then Spring is the perfecto time to begin to plant your seeds in order to harvest your desired intentions throughout the year. A lot of times we make empty statements like "I want to eat better" or "I need a new job" but we need to get clear on WHY that is important for you - what would that healthier life look like? More vitality, energy, clarity of mind? Why is a new job important to you, what would that mean? More flexibility, work life balance, more dolla dolla bills? Either way, if we want to manifest something, if we want to "enjoy the harvest" we must first make a plan, plant the seeds and take action steps to get there. What better time to do that then Spring? When the soil is fertile for our truest desires? Hop on over to the podcast to dive deeper.

If I was a betting woman, I'd say healing our nervous system is one of the greatest things we can do for our health & healing. When our cortisol & stress response is out of whack it can look like things like -exhaustion/fatigue -burnout -anxious and cyclical thoughts -depressive feelings -hormone imbalance -leaky gut -blood sugar imbalance -crashing midday -wired and tired at night -no energy in the morning This podcast goes over some of my favorite actions steps & herbal allies I use to get back into peace, ease, vitality, and happiness in my body.

why during this fearful times - love is the only answer, and the harder life gets, the more I lean into Creator and love. life is short, how do you want to show up? fearful, angry, resentful, shutdown or peaceful, compassionate, and unconditionally loving? While it feels like hating those who hate us or smack talking against those who are "them" is "right" - the only person that affects is you. The only person who holds that low vibration, tense energy is yourself. Instead, let us learn to love ourselves deeper, love ourselves unconditionally, have compassion and forgiveness for ourselves so we can have compassionate, peace, love for those who are different than us and bring some healing to ourselves, families, and this world. we all need this and are deserving of this regardless of our race, culture, religion, political affiliation, gender. the heart is the seat of the soul and our ability to connect to our fellow humans, the Earth, and the divine. happy healing <3

I LOVE talking cycle health because most of us women were NEVER educated on it We may have gotten a period talk in 8th grade and shown how to use a tampon, but that's about it. Womp womp. My young girlies used to come into the hospital having no idea what normal was (nor did the hospital residents I worked with) and that transpired into women in there 30's and 40's being diagnosed with endo, PCOS, debilitating period pain, hysterectomies, etc. WHAT GIVES?! That is not our normal and we don't have to live like that. Tune in to this months podcast to learn -What is a normal cycle -Why knowing our normal matters -Why cycles get out of rhythm and what abnormal looks like (hormonal migraines, heavy periods, infertility, skipped periods, irregular periods) -Learn some first steps about how to bring your cycles back into balance -Oh...and some much needed validation that we are indeed cycle as women...which means we don't always show up the same. Yes indeedy I am hormonal, it's apart of my DNA. Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Auntie Flow

Food choices and picking the "Right Diet" can be confusing. With so many choices such as AIP, Low FODMAP, Vegan, carnivore, paleo, Atkins, High Carb, Low carb, etc. which is right? To me it's simple, how does the body respond? Do you feel high energy, vibrant, peace of mind? or low energy, fatigued, run down? The body doesn't lie and choosing the "right foods" is a dance of listening to your bodies needs and depends on where you are coming from in your health journey and what your goals are. Hope you enjoy this months episode and I would love to hear your thoughts <3 Healing vibes always !

How does our gut microbiome reflect the ecosystem of nature? By understanding how to experience harmony in nature, whether that is in a garden bed or old growth forest - we can understand how to bring harmony back to our gut microbiome. We are tucking into gut dysbiosis - specifically in the small intestine. - The common signs of SIBO - Reasons why it is so prevalent - How we can move the needle towards bringing balance back into the gut - How to prevent reoccurrence or getting it in the first place Most importantly, that some degree of healing is always possible when we give the body (and nature) what it needs. Happy healing

Are those pesky symptoms that you shut off really there to get you into better alignment with yourself and the answers to your healing? I struggled with mental health stuff on and off throughout my early 20's - for me, illness was depression, anxiety, and SI. As I got into further alignment with myself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - those heavy symptoms disappeared. For you it may not be mental health but hormone imbalance, heavy periods, autoimmune flares, gut dysbiosis, etc. whatever it is - is it your teacher? Are those physical manifestations asking you to go deeper? Are they coming up because you are out of alignment? Can you become your own best student and listen deeply to bring healing to yourself? Wishing you healing vibes always XO Hannah
