So many people who have had COVID are still struggling months or even years later with fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, and a body that just will not bounce back. Dr. Holly Carling and Alicia sit down to talk about why recovery takes so long and what the body actually needs to heal.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Holly explains that long COVID recovery is not about chasing a diagnosis. It is about restoring the body's natural intelligence on multiple levels: nutritional, cellular, nervous system, and emotional. The mitochondria often take the biggest hit after a prolonged illness, and rebuilding those energy systems requires the right fuel, stable routines, and therapies that support the body's natural rhythms.

Whether you are still struggling with post-viral symptoms or simply want to build better resilience for the future, this episode offers practical, grounded guidance rooted in whole-body healing.

There are anywhere from 10,000 to 100,000 diseases out there. It’s a bit mindblowing to think about people becoming sick from these diseases and potentially dying. But there are ways to cope with life after a scary diagnosis. The biggest thing to remember is that a diagnosis doesn’t have to be a death sentence (even if your doctor says it is). As long as you have the will to fight your diagnosis, your chances of surviving are high. In this podcast episode, we talk about how to deal with your emotions after a diagnosis, the factors that can change the potential outcome of a diagnosis, and why avoiding stress is so important to your healing.

The biggest factor that can affect your diagnosis (and your healing) is your attitude. Staying positive and hopeful is key. Remember that doctors don’t always know everything. Healing is possible. Making changes to your lifestyle and following your treatments can greatly improve your health. If you’re dealing with a scary diagnosis, or know someone who is, this is the episode for you.

Menopause isn’t a hormonal failure. It’s a transition.

Hot flashes, anxiety, poor sleep, weight gain — most women are told this is simply estrogen disappearing. But menopause is actually a gradual shift in how your body produces and coordinates hormones.

As ovarian output declines, other systems — especially the adrenal glands, liver, gut, and nervous system — are designed to take on more responsibility. When those systems are stressed or under-resourced, symptoms intensify.

Stable blood sugar, adequate protein, mineral-rich foods, and healthy digestion all play a role. Supporting the glands that are meant to adapt is often more sustainable than overriding the process.

Acupuncture helps regulate brain-to-gland communication, calm the nervous system, improve sleep, and support temperature balance — helping your body regain coordination rather than forcing hormone levels.

If you're experiencing symptoms - or simply want to support your body proactively - we're here to help.

For years we have been told that our genes determine our health. If something “runs in the family,” many people assume it is only a matter of time before they face the same diagnosis. But what if that belief is only part of the story?

In this podcast episode, Dr. Holly Carling and Alicia explore the science of epigenetics and explain how your daily choices influence how your genes express themselves. From nutrition and stress to sleep, mindset, and environment, the body is constantly receiving signals that either support health or contribute to disease.

Dr. Carling shares personal stories about changing her own health trajectory despite strong family patterns of obesity, thyroid disorders, and cardiovascular disease. She explains why a genetic predisposition does not mean a guaranteed outcome and how consistent lifestyle changes can shift your future in powerful ways.

This episode offers a hopeful reminder that you are not a victim of your genetics. With intentional choices, you can influence how your body functions and support long-term health and vitality.

As we get older, we often hear more about varicose veins, especially in women (though men get them, too!). But what we don’t often hear about is what causes them and how we can try to prevent them. You might be surprised to learn that nutrition plays a big role in varicose veins, but it’s true. So many of our ailments can be attributed, at least in part, to poor nutrition and lifestyle choices. In this podcast episode, we talk about what varicose veins are, what causes them, how we can try to prevent or resolve them, and how nutrition and hydration can affect varicose veins.

Eating on the run is something we all do. With our busy lifestyles, it can be really hard to avoid it. Eating on the run can impact your body and mind negatively and is not encouraged. But there are ways to eat healthier while you’re on the go in order to mitigate those stressors. In this podcast episode, we talk about why eating on the run isn’t healthy for you, the negative impacts to your body from eating fast, and some snack and meal prep ideas to help you eat as healthy as you can when you’re not at home.

Convenience is a big factor in eating on the run, but that can lead to consuming sugary drinks and snacks that are not good for you. Instead, think about healthy options that you can take with you to be prepared when you’re out and about. It really doesn’t have to be complicated. Eating should be fun and satisfying, even when you’re in a rush. If you’re juggling a busy lifestyle, and still want to eat healthy, this is the episode for you.
