The Pineal Gland, Chronic Illness, + The Science of Healing | Veronica Leslie Panagopoulos
In this episode, Sarah is joined by agricultural scientist and naturopathic doctor Veronica Leslie Panagopoulos for a deep dive into the pineal gland’s role in chronic illness and trauma. Together, they explore how this often-overlooked part of the brain connects to our intuition, healing capacity, and even neurodivergence.
Veronica explains the science behind pineal gland calcification, melatonin production, and mitochondrial health, offering both practical tools and theoretical insights. This conversation blends cutting-edge research with holistic wisdom to help you better understand your body’s natural rhythms and innate ability to heal.
