My guest this episode is 7Song, a renowned (humbly) western herbalist and teacher. I was his student many years ago when I took the 8 month program at his school, The Northeast School of Botanical Medicine. Today we discussed the importance of herbal medicine in a modern medicine world. We discussed depression and adrenal fatigue as both are in some cases an over, rather than under, stimulation of the nervous system which is a very important distinction if you are going to treat them. And we wal...

On this episode I'm joined by author Fariha Roisin to discuss her book Who Is Wellness For. I could talk to Fariha for hours! She is an insightful, sensitive writer and speaker. Her book bridges memoir and journalism to bring light to the many ways that the wellness industry and the pursuit of healing can harm those already affected by white supremacy and colonialism's violent legacy. We had a fascinating conversation discussing the role of imagination in healing, the political importance of sel...

It's the season finale, can you believe it? We’re wrapping up with a big talk on what it really means to “work out.” Cadence teaches us how to do a proper plank and, at long last, goes off on the barre fad. Plus jello shots and dog snores. But the big cliffhanger is: Who will sponsor us next season? A sneaker company? A candle company? Caftans? Meat sticks? The monarchy? Stay tuned.

This is not a podcast about dieting. Repeat: NOT a podcast about dieting. But we are talking about the relationship between eating and working out: food as energy and fuel. It’s complicated!
