What if the “relief” in your medicine cabinet is part of what’s keeping you stuck?
Over-the-counter medications may offer quick fixes, but they often come with hidden side effects, unnecessary additives, and long-term consequences that can disrupt your hormones, digestion, and nervous system.
In this episode, I’m inviting you to take a closer look at what you’re reaching for — and offering you gentle, effective herbal alternatives that work with your body, not against it.
You’ll learn how to support your health naturally using 3 powerful remedies that I keep stocked in my own home. These simple swaps can help you feel clearer, more energized, and more connected to your body — all without the side effects.
