I’m really looking forward to exploring ketamine and ketamine assisted therapy with Alli Waddell, Co-Founder of Illumma Ketamine Clinic. She is here to share her big story and how she found ketamine. She has an incredible story, she’s going to show up very openly and authentically.  I’m a big fan of psychedelic therapy and plant medicine. It’s helped me greatly with anxiety, depression, and purpose. But ketamine isn’t a tool that I’ve worked with yet. Ketamine is breaking down barriers and leading the path in psychedelic therapy. From the history to the incredible healing properties, we're going to dive into that and learn everything we can about ketamine.    In this episode, we discuss: What ketamine is Who ketamine is not for Ketamine’s healing capabilities How trauma is the root cause  The 2 Paths -- Ketamine Therapy & Ketamine Assisted Therapy The process of ketamine infusion and the experience Alli’s journey and how she found her path to healing ‘Emotional Unpacking’ How ketamine lasts long-term   Truth Be Told is an organization, providing transformational trauma healing and programming for women behind and beyond bars.

This week I will be sharing my journey from being diagnosed with Stage 3, HER2+ breast cancer, to healing in the top 40th percentile. This story is dedicated to the work I did along the way and what I hope for you is an inspiring story of healing. I will be sharing tips and tools that worked for me as a message of hope. I did it and so can you!   In this episode, I share:  How I handled getting diagnosed with cancer Finding a doctor that was right for me Going through chemo, radiation, and losing my hair Western and plant medicine The breast meridian grid, lymphatic drainage massages, acupuncture My healing process Finding support and asking for help Work with Jennifer 25% Off a Private Coaching Session  Sign-up for the Newsletter  Become a Member & Support the Illuminated Podcast Athletic Greens ~ Exclusive Discount  Resources From This Episode: Mederi Center - Holistic Health & Healing, Patient Care, Research, Education Texas Original Compassionate Cultivation ︱Medical Marajuana Breast Cancer Resource Center of Texas is an incredible local organization that is here to help. Whether you need rides, housework done, financial help, or emotional support ~ they’re incredible and understand. There’s a lot of grants and financial assistance out there if you need it! They can help you navigate through ALL and ANY of this! https://bcrc.org https://www.instagram.com/bcrcoftx/ Mederi Center HERBAL TEA MIXTURE: 3 parts I. equal parts ~ hibiscus, fennel, uva ursai, lemongrass After you buy the herbs just go on and blend them together in a jar, mix them up, and then just scoop out what you need as you fill the loose tea into the large metal tea infuser. I buy all of my herbs at The Herb Bar on Mary St off of S Congress, they also sell Chaga Mushrooms as a tea and that’s also great!  Brew it long & brew it strong! In a crockpot on low for 7hrs + I find is the best way II. Slippery Elm/Marshmallow Root Either one. Marshmallow Root is a Slippery Elm. This is a cold brew.  1TBSP : Quart (mason jar) filled with distilled water and kept for 24 hrs in the fridge. Drain & store. Slippery Elm is kind of mucusy for lack of a better word and it looks weird but it’s fine, strain it after 24 hrs. III. To Drink Mix them 50/50 or 75 mix/25 elm - they are both super beneficial and I wouldn’t worry too much about the balance. Serve warm. Drink as much as you want. It’s such a great kidney flush and if you’re experiencing any UTI like symptoms it will clear it right up. It’s kind of dry but you can add Stevia or Honey to take care of that. BONE BROTH   This is such an awesome way to get nutrients when you don’t feel like eating and it will really help to get your vitamins and minerals. I loosely follow Dave Aspreys recipe. You can get Grass Fed Beef Marrow Bones from most any Farmers Market. Richardson Farms takes orders and you can collect from Barton. 10lbs will make 3 - 4 batches. It goes a long way. If available I will also add chicken feet, egg shells from past eggs I’ve eaten. I keep them in the freezer, knuckles ~ really whatever goodness I can find at the market. And vegetables only for the last 12 hrs. IT seems like a lot but it’s pretty easy. After I warm it to serve I always add sea salt, pepper, cayenne, ginger, turmeric. Yum! It will definitely need salt, other than that flavor it however you like. If you have any problems finding the recipe then let me know. If you take HERCEPTIN as one of your drugs ~ You must consume OLIVE OIL and OLIVES. IT helps the Herceptin to work better. Water   Water is so vital and with everything you hear nowadays I have taken an extra precaution and installed filtered water that is all throughout the house - including laundry, shower, and bidet! There’s also a PH tap at the sink to get high alkaline water.  SUPPLEMENTS/NUTRITION   When I first got diagnosed I went to see an Integrative Wellness Coach, Carl Schmidt at Lake Hills Pharmacy, he was very knowledgeable about Cancer in general and got me onto various supplements; Paw Paw & Methyl Folate were crucial. There’s great, short YouTube videos about Paw Paw and how it works to fight cancer cells. It was so hard for me to eat veggies and drink my green drink and all the “healthy” stuff while on chemo and I got to the point where I was too tired to grocery shop, cook, clean, and eat. Ask for help! People want to help you and you have to stay nourished. If you take HERCEPTIN as one of your drugs ~ You must consume OLIVE OIL and OLIVES. It helps the Herceptin to work better. I worked alongside the Mederi Foundation in Oregon - there’s a lot of info online. They had access to all of my info; blood work, tests, etc. and they sent tonics and all sorts and that’s how I got the recipe for the tea. MIND/BODY ~ SPIRITUAL HEALTH   This is a really important time to look after your spiritual and mental health. This is tough and it sucks. You’ve got to come to terms with the fact that you are down - and that’s not easy. While you’re laying down listen to something inspirational or calming, meditating, etc., whatever suits you. It’s better than drowning in crappy tv and having that vibration bring you down. I recommend Deepak Chopra Soul of Healing Affirmations, The Secret of Healing both on iTunes and it's so awesome to listen to. The Soul of Healing is also a book and a DVD; it’s really incredible. Abraham Hicks is also great to listen to. I think it’s important to reaffirm that you can do this! Don’t ever refer to the cancer as “my”. Do not own it. It’s here and you have to recognize that but that’s not what you are and that’s not how you should own it. You’ll get so much literature and books, etc. Read when you can but don’t overwhelm yourself and don’t look at the word cancer in various forms all over the house. Know what I mean? https://open.spotify.com/album/3rpDTnXBdaciYySxV1ElyH?si=1IvS7Z0WS3CCFQxjnq2BJg&dl_branch=1  Soul of healing Affirmations https://open.spotify.com/album/71M7hkvO8USA2Qlagia2be?si=O1opisxaTs6VurW8wprEcg&dl_branch=1  Soul of Healing Meditations  Chopra, Deepak. The Soul of Healing Affirmations Whatever you believe in - believe in it. Pray hard and pray strong. ACUPUNTURIST & HEALER   I have an incredible acupuncturist and healer, her name is Rama Chittajallu and her number is 512.293.5388 I saw her for a couple of years before my diagnosis. She is a Reiki Master, Acupuncturist, and a Dr. Master of Chinese Medicine - this is a great addition and balance to the Western Medicine.  PETS   I had my dog registered as an Emotional Service Animal (ESA) She loves everyone and is just a really special beast and my bestie. She eases my anxiety SO much and truly is my xanax. It’s super easy to certify your pet online audit’s like $80. Trust me - if you’ve got a cool dog that goes everywhere with you, take it to the next level, you’ll love it!   The Grove Wine Bar https://www.instagram.com/grovewinebar/ https://www.grovewinebar.com Connect with Jennifer Website Patreon YouTube Facebook Instagram
