Tamara Paquette: Curing My "Incurable" Cancer w/ Gerson Therapy
48m · PublishedOriginally, when we booked Nicole's friend Tamara for this conversation, we planned on discussing her battle with Stage 4 HER2 Neu Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer - and the success she's found in beating it with Gerson Therapy. What we ended up discovering was so much more...
Tamara reveals to us that she had kept the cancer a secret from her friends (Nicole included!) and planned to make it to one more big bash before she kicked the bucket -- but as her "death day" approached, something unexpected happened that reignited her will to live -- and caused her to seek care through organic raw food and therapy at the Gerson Institute.
If you're looking for a spiritual and educational uplift, join us in this episode. We'll chat about the Gerson lifestyle, the profound effects of organic and raw alkaline diet, the benefits of coffee enemas (she says not to knock them until you try them!) and SO MUCH MORE!

Dr. Abby: Stress-Induced Hair Loss & Regrowth Tips
32m · PublishedHave you ever dealt with excessive hair shedding? Not just your standard "losing hair in the shower" type of hair shedding -- we're talking “hair coming out in clumps” type of hair shedding! It can not only be scary but can also take a major toll on your emotions. This week on the podcast, we speak with Dr. Abby Waldman, a dermatologist in Boston, Massachusetts, about Telogen Effluvium - a very common phenomenon of temporary hair loss which happens after some sort of stress, trauma or shock to the body. Not surprisingly, we have stories to share about experiencing Telogen Effluvium firsthand, following our surgeries! In addition, to sharing all things T.E., we'll also discuss remedies and therapies you can use to help regrow hair, and how to keep stressors at bay (because stress = hair loss!) If you’ve battled intense hair shedding or are in the middle of it right now, you absolutely won’t want to miss this episode!

She educates us on her mental health Endurance Cycle, leads us through breathwork exercises you can do at home whenever you feel you need to slow down, shares free resources and much, much more!
