In this episode of Cosmic Confluence, host Sana dives deep with Dr. Lara May—clinical pharmacist turned functional medicine coach—into the root of real healing. Together, they explore why true well-being demands more than prescriptions and protocols. Dr. Lara shares her own burnout story, how chronic migraines and stress forced her to rethink modern medicine, and why she believes radical responsibility is the foundation of transformation. From energy medicine to stress detox, this episode unpacks the science-spirit bridge and offers practical, accessible ways to reclaim your health—body, mind, and soul.
About the Guest: Dr. Lara May is an advanced clinical pharmacist, functional medicine coach, bestselling author, and founder of Light Body Healing & Consulting. Her approach blends emergency medicine expertise with deep training in energy work, Reiki, and holistic healing. Lara helps people unravel the hidden layers of illness by addressing emotional and energetic patterns behind chronic disease.
