TFW you try some vegan cheese, and you have an even worse reaction to it than you do to actual cheese. 🥵🥵🥵

A vitally important view toward health freedom and knowing your own power!

Philosophy must be lived.

Belief without embodiment creates drift. In naturopathic medicine, principle must align with action.

This work is not merely studied. It is practiced, refined, and lived with coherence and integrity.

We are Vitalists.

100%

I am very passionate about helping my clients understand that 'mental illnesses' are a symptom, not a genetically determined disease with no underlying root causes.

This is a fallacy that continues to irk me, as I see adult and child clients every week seeking help with their mental health - as well as others trying to withdraw from psychiatric medications without being debilitated.

The chemical imbalance theory is outdated and debunked, despite remaining the main narrative for why psychiatric medications are prescribed.

While I believe all illness is a manifestation of underlying psychological, emotional, and psycho-spiritual stress and trauma - my advice to everyone seeking help with their mental health is:

🔥 RESTORE YOUR PHYSIOLOGY FIRST 🔥

It will be almost impossible to do the deeper work if your physiology is out of balance and you're stuck in a constant state of fight-or-flight. You cannot heal without first regulating the nervous system to a state of safety and resilience.

'Psychiatric pretenders' are real. Are you actually mentally ill - or do you have hypothyroid disease, leaky gut, gluten sensitivity, and B12 + magnesium deficiency?

🔑 Overhaul your diet, lifestyle, routine, and environment.
🔑 Get thorough blood tests - viewed through an optimal lens, not just average ranges.
🔑 Work with someone experienced in navigating the right testing for your symptoms.

LAST CALL TO JOIN US!

We start tomorrow, and enrolment will end on the 21st or when all spots are full :)

What are we starting?

I'm offering two intimate groups this round of my 90-Day Health Freedom Challenge!

The Soul Shift group will be diving deep into health of body, mind, emotions and spirit with an added exploration of how the current cosmic landscape is supporting (and even igniting!) our power to create and maintain health on all levels.

The Crone's Grove group will be exploring health on all levels through the portal of menopause, to create a completely different experience of Self than the false story that has been told for far too long about a woman in her later years!

The 90-Day Health Freedom Challenge is about empowerment and about learning an effective framework for self-generated healing of body, mind, emotions and spirit.

All the information is here: https://drkatebroderick.com.au/90-day

Come and join us, find healing in community and deep exploration of self!

THE SOUL SHIFT!

We are in the middle of some of the biggest planetary influences of our lifetime. We see the effects of this all around us, globally, locally, and in ourselves and our families.

I personally feel like we're headed, ultimately, in a much better direction for the individual and the collective than we were before. Though there are horrific aspects to much that is occurring at this time beyond our control.

But my focus is health, health of the whole person that is You!

I am calling 8 humans to join The Soul Shift starting 20 February. This intimate group will travel together through my 90-Day Health Freedom Challenge.

In this offering, I’m presenting the core program with added focus on natural and astrological cycles, so we can make the most of the experience we are all steeped in at this time.

This is a time of synthesis and transformation. Calling together the aspects of Self: body, mind, emotions and spirit, to create a whole you, an expanded version of you to step into the next chapter of life and for humanity. Imagine what we can create together!

This program will support you to step into a completely new experience of Self, and give you the tools to carve out your own continued healing path after the 90 days.

If this experiential learning and community calls to you, I encourage you to join us. When the 8 spots are filled, the enrolment will close.

The full information about the program can be found at the link below. We start on 20 February.

I was hosted this week by the amazing Dr Melisa Rangitakatu on her podcast 'Live Differently' (such a beautiful encouragement at this point in our human existence, hey?)

If you're called to, give it a listen, and I'd love to hear your reflections! 🙏🌞🌿

What a great analogy for the process of healing!

You have to stop being in flight mode and start loving yourself unconditionally. ♥️

Very cool.

Germany's sauerkraut bacteria eliminated anxiety disorders within 6 weeks completely, while benzos create dependence

German psychiatrists discovered that specific lactobacillus strains from traditional sauerkraut fermentation eliminate anxiety disorders by resetting gut-brain axis signaling that causes pathological anxiety. Patients with severe anxiety achieved complete remission within 6 weeks of probiotic therapy without any psychiatric medications.

Anxiety disorders increasingly appear to originate from disrupted gut microbiome composition that sends constant stress signals to the brain via the vagus nerve. The sauerkraut bacteria produce GABA (the brain's calming neurotransmitter) and other compounds in the gut that signal the brain to reduce anxiety responses. When patients consume therapeutic doses of these specific strains, the bacteria colonize the digestive tract and continuously produce anxiety-reducing signals. Brain imaging shows normalized amygdala activity and reduced stress hormone production. Within weeks, patients report their anxiety simply disappearing. It's like replacing the gut bacteria that scream danger constantly with bacteria that whisper calm.

The global anti-anxiety medication market exceeds $20 billion annually, dominated by benzodiazepines (Xanax, Va**um, Ativan) that patients become dependent on and require for life while facing cognitive impairment and addiction risks. A probiotic that cures anxiety in 6 weeks threatens this pharmaceutical market. Research funding flows toward new psychiatric drugs rather than gut microbiome solutions, despite German data showing superior outcomes with zero addiction potential.

American anxiety patients take daily benzodiazepines for years, becoming dependent while their anxiety never truly resolves. German anxiety patients consume sauerkraut bacteria for 6 weeks and achieve lasting remission without drugs. The microbiome cure works better and has no addiction risk—it just doesn't create lifetime pharmaceutical customers.

Why take addictive anxiety drugs forever when sauerkraut bacteria cure it in 6 weeks?
