What's The Juice
Olivia Amitrano
Welcome to the juiciest conversations in wellness with Olivia Amitrano, founder of Organic Olivia. "What's The Juice" is a podcast as multifaceted as its listeners — a fierce community on a courageous path of self improvement, learning, and healing. Here we share conversations that bridge traditional wisdom and modern science, offering a balance of tangible advice and perspective-shifting philosophies that will optimize your health and change the way you see the world.
One week we'll spill the (herbal) tea on functional medicine for hormone imbalance, while the next we'll dive deep into psychedelic assisted therapy, codependency and learning how to say no.
Olivia is a clinical herbalist, formulator, entrepreneur, and, most notably, an educator. Each episode is an opportunity to synthesize her education in herbalism, psychology, and a lifetime of health issues into actionable tips on how to not only heal but thrive. Interviews with doctors, therapists, holistic practitioners, astrologers, artists, and storytellers are brimming with raw, human moments and empowering information. Candid and ever curious, Olivia is on a mission to understand the human condition and share what she learns along the way. Above all, her goal is to connect you with the paradigms, practitioners and teachers you can rely on to help get you to the next level. Peeling back the layers isn't always pretty, but the juice is worth the squeeze.
