The Healing Grove Podcast

Over the past week I have shared some of what happened to my brain in 2022, during or shortly after an elective surgery on my neck. As I was crafting those emails, I was thinking about how we've never had a guest on the Podcast who'd recovered their brain after such an injury. Given my close work with brain-injured kids and Lymies with brain fog, it dawned on me that hey, we need one! And then it dawned on me that maybe I am that guest. So that's who you're getting this week.  I hope you find this vulnerable sharing helpful, and not off-putting. I do this in the hopes that someone, somewhere, will find it valuable to hear my story. If you have someone you know who is challenged by a brain not functioning optimally, I would be honored if you would share this episode with them. I would love for you to join me for a FREE week in the Healing Grove as we explore brain health.

This week I am super excited to introduce you to my new friend, Caroline Alan.Caroline Alan is the co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, but like many of my guests on the podcast, she came to her current focus on health and wellness through a debilitating mystery illness that shook her on all limbs of her tree. Coming from a career in the corporate world, Caroline found herself struggling physically, mentally and energetically. During her circuitous journey back to health, Caroline encountered plant-based minerals and their unique ability to support a return to natural balance in the body. And they changed her life.Once well (which took about 9 months), Caroline delved into research on minerals: why they are important to human physiology, how they work in the body, why we are all so deficient, and how to replenish them effectively. Her journey took her deep into microbiology, molecular biology, cellular biology, agricultural soil science, the study of plant decomposition and more...and sparked a commitment to share what she had learned with the world. She is now on a mission, devoted to educating people about the benefits of mineral replenishment and the specific efficacy of plant-based humic and fulvic substances.If you are interested in purchasing BEAM Minerals yourself, you can visit https://www.beamminerals.com/?ambassador=drkristin978 (my affiliate link) and use code HEALINGGROVE at checkout to get 20% off of your order!To learn all about Caroline Alan and Beam Minerals, you can visit the links below: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB3L1DnW-sLpv2vqLTZA7aQInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/beamminerals/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beammineralsofficialLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-alan-692792/Here is an article addressing herxheimer detox responses to humic minerals:https://www.beamminerals.com/blogs/blog/humic-substances-and-herxheimer-reactions?_pos=1&_sid=871b14f3f&_ss=r*****************************************************************************************If you’d like to be the first to hear about new podcast episodes, sign up for our newsletter.

This week I am excited to share the seventh interview I had with Meghan Tveit, who is now a fourth year medical student (MS4). In this conversation she tells us about her family medicine rotation, her last rotation as a third year student. She also gives us a glimpse into what her fourth year will look like. It has been awhile since we have heard from Meghan, so in case you need a reminder of who she is, and what she is up to, read on!Meghan Tveit is now a fourth year medical student at George Washington School of Medicine in Washington, D.C. She graduated from Harvard in 2020, and spent almost two months living with our family during the lock-down (probably because my family includes her boyfriend, Mahlon). During that time, I really got to know Meg, and found her intelligence, compassion, empathy, curiosity, and authenticity an inspiration, and hope for the future of medicine. I've been incredibly grateful for Meg's willingness to share her journey through medical education in these little installments, as they provide glimpses into the usually hidden journey of becoming a doctor.*****************************************************************************************If you’d like to be the first to hear about new podcast episodes, sign up for our newsletter.

This week's talk is with Chloe Weber, a dear friend who I met several years ago in my work as the Medical Director of the Family Hope Center. Our meeting was not coincidental. Chloe's son, Remy, suffers from an extremely rare genetic disorder that causes seizures, and she had sought us out to explore unconventional options to heal her child's brain.Remy, like so many of the kids I see at the FHC, chose his mom wisely. He chose a mom who would go to bat for him, doggedly searching for the root causes of his seizures and how to optimize his brain. When I met Chloe the first time, I instantly knew she was a Warrior Mom, determined to make a difference for her child, and eventually, for other kids and moms. She has done this over and over, starting with founding her company Radical Roots based on a tincture combining Chinese herbs and CBD, and most recently, with a new company, supporting women. Her exciting new offerings will be coming soon, and in this episode, I invited Chloe to share its roots with us.If you would like to connect with Chloe and learn more about her, you can do that at https://radicalremedy.orgTo check out Chloe's CBD and Chinese herb products, visit: https://radicalrootsherbs.com Chloe has recently launched a new website for women's health products.
