She makes the comparison of our overall health as a house – just like it wouldn’t be a good idea to leave one room of our house cluttered, unclean or disorganized, so it is with our health. We should be taking the time to pay attention to all aspects of our health.

Today we’re discussing the yin and yang of the menstrual cycle with Dr. Eric Karchmer, a fellow Chinese Medicine “geek.” We’ll hear his insight on addressing the menstrual cycle and related issues from a Chinese medicine background. We also talk about other women’s health concerns that can come up in life and how they can be addressed from a lifestyle, diet and Chinese herbal perspective.
Eric’s fascination with Chinese medicine started over 30 years ago, when he ventured to China to teach English. Before earning a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of North Carolina, Eric spent five years earning a Bachelor’s of Medicine from the renowned Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and attended Princeton for his undergraduate studies. He has published numerous scholarly articles on Chinese medicine and will finish his book manuscript, Orientalizing the Body: Postcolonial Transformations in Chinese Medicine, later this year.

How does our emotional health correlate with our physical health – specifically with what we put in our mouths? How do we correct unhealthy habits without giving up the desire to feel joy or comfort that often comes through the food we eat? And how do we solve this seemingly never-ending emotional connection with sugar?
These are the questions and topics we discuss in today’s podcast with expert Megan Buer. Megan is an Emotional Code Practitioner and founder of Harmony Restored; a company focused on helping individuals heal from the stress that is at the root of their physical and emotional pain. After suffering from years with anxiety, panic disorder, chronic stress, food intolerances, adrenal fatigue, and an auto-immune disease, Megan went on a journey to health - spending over 10 years researching, experimenting, and finally figuring out all the unique tools she needed to naturally heal herself.
“If I believe something is wrong with me, then something will always be wrong with me.” – Megan Buer
On Today’s Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:
- What is the Emotion Code?
- Using food for emotional reasons.
- Tuning into your own body – avoiding diet confusion.
- Learning to trust our own inner-wisdom.
- What is the emotional connection to sugar that many of us feel?
- Tips for changing unhealthy eating habits.
Key Takeaway:
- We can change or reset our mindset and emotional well being by being more aware of what we are putting into our bodies.
- It’s okay to want to feel rewarded, joy or comfort, but it doesn’t always need to involve foods that are unhealthy for us.

My guest in today’s podcast is Dr. Jennifer Cronin who is an author, speaker and medical expert in Lifestyle Medicine. She focuses on empowering Moms to live an extraordinary life by putting their health (physical, emotional, spiritual, financial and sexual) as a number one priority and leading by example in order to raise strong, ambitious and independent daughters.
This is a topic that I strongly relate to…not only as a Mom myself, but because I feel it is so important that we each learn how to champion ourselves and our own needs in order to truly be our best self’s to others. In today’s episode we talk about the challenges that come as we try to balance the role of a parent with the many other roles we fulfill in life, such as a business owner. Dr. Cronin shares her insight into how we can teach our children to put themselves first by watching our example.
“Your physical health is only one component of your overall health. As women and mothers, we need to focus on the other areas of our wellness wheelhouse, including emotional, spiritual, financial and sexual health” – Dr. Jennifer Cronin
On Today’s Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:
- How does our example to our daughters contribute to the next generation of women?
- When healthcare becomes a feminist issue.
- How to overcome the “not-good-enough” message many of us grew up with.
- Why is it so easy as a woman to feel unworthy or unacceptable?
- Knowing when and being able to ask for forgiveness.
- Self-acceptance…letting go of the judgments of others.
- Are we starting early enough as women to think about and talk about sexual wellness?
Key Takeaway:
- As a woman, it is easy to become the nurturer for others while putting yourself last.
- Your physical health is only one component of your overall health.
- Spiritual health is a balance of connecting with whatever higher source you might believe in and tuning into your inner voice (intuition).
- It’s up to moms to put themselves first so that this idea will rub off on children in the long run.
- All moms have wisdom and insight that we should be sharing with each other.

Calling all those who have ever felt busy, stressed or food obsessed – this podcast is for you! Today I’m speaking with Health & Lifestyle Coach and author of the award winning book, “Busy, Stressed, and Food Obsessed!” - Lisa Lewtan. She shares wonderful insight into the correlation between being busy and stressed and how it can impact our eating habits. We discuss the importance of recognizing and understanding some of the emotional triggers and habits that lead us to food for pleasure as well as the ability to work past these feelings through meditation and thought control.
Through private coaching, online courses, workshops, and retreats, Lisa helps highly successful hungry go-getters to slow down, chill-out, develop a better relationship with food and stress, look good, and feel great. She has been featured in numerous publications including The Boston Globe, The Huffington Post, MindbodyGreen, and Better After 50, and has been a speaker at companies such as Canyon Ranch and Google.
“We’re using “busyness” to hide other things about ourselves. We tend to define ourselves by the things we are doing rather than just who we are.” – Lisa Lewtan
On Today’s Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:
- Are we wearing our “busyness” as a badge of honor?
- Being aware of the language around the word busy.
- Balancing the “have-tos,” the “wanna-dos” and the “shoulds.”
- How the stress of being busy can lead to food obsession.
- In a fight or flight situation, where do we flee to mentally?

- The process and benefits of interrupting habits.
- How does stress, worry and self-doubt relate to self-love?
Key Takeaway:
- So many times when we think we’re hungry, we’re really not – we’re just not present with where we are.
- Why are we so busy? Do we have to be busy? Do we want to be busy? Do we feel like we should be busy?

Today’s podcast features a conversation with Maggie Berghoff who is a nurse practitioner trained in Functional Medicine. Maggie uses a renowned step-by-step framework known as Balance Protocol to transform the lives of men and women using cutting-edge and natural medicine. Today, Maggie talks about 6 important environmental inputs - air, water, light, sound, food and EMF. She shares her insight on exactly how these inputs can affect us and offers simple tips and ideas for optimizing inputs in our daily lives.
In this episode, we talk about the many different ways our bodies are constantly exchanging energy with the environment around us. Whether it is through the food we digest, the air we breathe or even our exposure to EMF, the small and simple things we do each day impact our general health and well-being.
On Today’s Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:
- How often should we exchange the air in our home?
- The importance of filtering bathing water.
- How exposure to light affects our circadian rhythm.
- What effect does sound have on our vagus nerve?
- Should we avoid foods imported from other countries?
- How can you mitigate unavoidable contact with EMF?
Key Takeaways:
- Whether we realize it or not, our bodies are constantly interpreting sounds, processing light, exchanging air and absorbing water.
- You don’t have to be purist to implement simple steps to optimize environmental inputs.
- See yourself as unique - get to know what your body specifically needs.

Sarica shares her thoughts on the lost art of traditional food preparation and why it’s so important. We discuss different types of foods as well as preparation methods such as soaking and fermentation.

Sarica's real-life, practical knowledge of going beyond organic and healthy ingredients and reaching deeper into the largely-forgotten and yet incredibly potent health benefits of traditional food preparation offers up a “missing link” in the wellness equation.

Robyn Openshaw helped skyrocket the whole “green smoothie” trend all the way to mainstream media and has been known as the official Green Smoothie Girl then ever since. More than green smoothies and shakes, Robyn has authored several books about health and wellness, a former psychotherapist, college professor, and a mom of four lovely children. She’s on the verge of launching her new book called “VIBE” which explores the connection between living a healthy lifestyle and vibrational frequencies. It sounds out there for a lot of people, and she gets that, but she’s confident this will change the way we view diets and fitness forever.
In today’s episode, Robyn discusses her new-found interest in vibrational frequencies and the science that surrounds the topic. She also explains how just about every living thing emits certain frequencies, that even the smallest choices can alter our own vibrations and affect our well being.
“Anyone or anything in our energy field can raise or lower our own frequencies.” – Robin Openshaw
On Today’s Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:
- Her journey from Green Smoothie Girl to discovering the vibrations of the universe.
- How Einstein and Tesla inspired her to write her book "VIBE"
- What her book is all about
- Why the healing properties of vibration and frequency are already mainstream.
- Emotions that are high frequency.
- How vibrations can affect human interaction and relationships
- The vibrational frequencies of some foods
- How we can reduce the dirty energy in our environment
- Why people should raise their energetic vibrations
Key Takeaway:
- Higher vibrations are associated with high frequency emotions.
- Paying attention to the effects of micro choice can allow us to resonate a frequency 10 Hz higher.
- Unfortunately, we're still evaluating food if it's good or bad based on calories. It's self-serving and has nothing to do with food being healthy or not.

Tzipporah Gerson-Miller is the owner of Inner Sky Therapeutics, a certified yoga therapist, and a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in cases of trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain.

Beverly Meyer is a practitioner, podcaster, and blogger who, like so many of us, have struggled with her own health issues early in life. In her college years, Beverly contracted herpes and she was disappointed at what was conventionally known at the time. She sought other doctors, received natural and conservative treatment, and she was able to at least suppress its symptoms. She has since become an advocate for alternative medicine and has established herself as a household name in the Paleo world.
In today’s episode, Beverly shares her learning experience and why she had an interest to research GABA. She also explains why she calls GABA the “forgotten neurotransmitter” and what you can do to determine if you’re low in GABA and how to improve your levels.
“GABA is that neurotransmitter that's keeping things at a stable, steady pattern.” – Beverly Meyer
On Today’s Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:
- The four main neurotransmitters in the body.
- How seizures are linked to GABA.
- GABA's main roles in the body.
- Does GABA get depleted and can it be increased through our diet?
- Why she tells her clients to remove gluten in their diet.
- Her favorite sleep trick.
- GABA sources she recommends.
- What is "leaky brain"?
- Her thoughts on seeing traditional doctors.
Key Takeaway:
- People have to be willing to speak up and acknowledge that they deserve better doctors.
- The problem is human life right now revolves around stress. Our rational minds are swamped with irrational events that we can't place in a rational system.
- Every cell in your body is programed to win, to live, and to do its job perfectly. We don't have to make things happen, our job is to let things happen.
