Episode 161: How Fear Affects the Body & Brain

Fear is an emotion that affects everyone on varying levels, and in this episode, Erin unpacks not just the science behind fear, but also how this can play into our happiness and health.

With nuggets of info for just about everybody, Erin discusses the concept of neuroplasticity, the relationship between fear, anxiety, and pain, flow state, and how fear affects ongoing issues with food, sensitivities, and autoimmunity.

Episode 119: Building a Healthy Child with Dr. Melina Roberts

If you have kids, you probably know just how hard it is to keep them and their surroundings clean. Attempts to completely sterilize our outer environment is an inherently futile goal; microbes and pathogens have always been present and will always be present. As parents we worry about kids catching viruses or other pathogens, and in COVID times, this worry has ramped up cleaning efforts to a critical level. We’ve seen that even with our best efforts and precautions, we can’t completely avoid pathogens or viruses. So, what do we do?

In this episode I chat with Naturopath Dr. Melina Roberts about what it takes to build a robust immune system for our kids. It’s an important and relevant conversation that can also be applied to humans of all ages. We discuss how efforts in our outer environment can benefit (or hinder) us, and how getting to the root of robust health actually requires focus on our inner environment.

Episode 104: Immune Health, Gut Health & Nature (including Lyme Prevention)

This episode is so relevant to everything that we’re all experiencing right now, so I decided to re-release it. Even if you’ve heard it before, I would recommend listening again - I feel like there’s a lot of really important points that need to be underscored. It’s not just what we’re doing at this time, it’s also a mindset shift. So, I go into germ theory as we all try to shift from a mindset of fear to a mindset of understanding, empowerment and control over our bodies, minds, and health.
