Andrea McBeth, ND on the Science Behind Thaena - 34In this episode of The Whole Health Podcast, Dr. Kelly J. Blodgett and Megan Barnett sit down with Andrea McBeth, ND — co-founder and CEO of Thaena — to explore the powerful idea that humans are ecosystems. Andrea breaks down the science of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, explaining why the real magic may lie in the microbial signals our bodies depend on.

In this episode of The Whole Health Podcast, Dr. Kelly J. Blodgett, DMD, NMD, IBDM, and Megan Barnett, MS, CNS, sit down with Dr. Chris Motley, DC, DABCA — Traditional Chinese Medicine Guide, to explore the powerful intersection of frequency medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and chronic infection. Dr. Motley shares how the body functions as an energetic system—examining biofields, meridians, fascia, and homeopathy as tools for restoring balance. From parasites and Epstein-Barr to emotional patterns and inherited programming, this conversation challenges conventional models of illness and offers a deeper look at what it truly means to heal the whole person.Topics Discussed:Frequency Medicine & the BiofieldThe conversation explores the body as an energetic system that emits measurable frequencies and interacts constantly with its environment. Dr. Motley explains how fascia, meridians, and the body’s piezoelectric properties—such as those activated through acupuncture—help regulate energetic flow. The episode also discusses tools like laser therapy, microcurrent, and frequency-based devices used to detect imbalances and restore coherence to the biofield.Parasites, Chronic Infections & the Energetic Terrain Dr. Motley shares insights on how pathogens like strep, C. diff, parasites, Lyme, and Epstein-Barr interact with the body’s energetic landscape. Rather than focusing solely on killing microbes, the discussion emphasizes strengthening the host terrain so infections are less likely to persist or return. Homeopathy is highlighted as a frequency-based signal that may help “wake up” dormant infections and re-engage the immune system’s recognition and response.Emotional Patterns, Organ Systems & Whole Health Drawing from Chinese medicine, the episode examines connections between organs and emotions—such as gallbladder and resentment or kidneys and fear. The hosts and Dr. Motley discuss how family dynamics, close relationships, and shared environments can influence health on an energetic level. Ultimately, whole health is framed as recognizing inherited and developmental emotional programming and understanding how these patterns shape physical well-being.To learn more about Megan Barnett’s clinic and practice, click below:https://bioloungepdx.comTo learn more about Megan's organic soluble fiber blends, click below:https://thinkflorasophy.comLearn more about Dr. Kelly Blodgett's dental practice below:https://www.blodgettdentalcare.com/About The Whole Health Podcast:Hosted by Dr. Kelly J.
