Hi Rachelle!

I’m asking for myself, my friends and all the ladies out there for hormonal support entering perimenopause. I’m 43. I’m experiencing slight hot flashes, headaches, some night sweating, and my cycle is super wacky. I eat a very clean, plant heavy diet and exercise daily. Would love your advice.

Thanks!

Hi Rachelle,

I'm not sure if you have talked about the following or not, Do you have any suggestions for immune system more specifically anything to help with cancer fighting. My dad has prostate cancer, he will have surgery soon and I would like to start giving him anything that could help his immune system go up. I started the whole family with the magnesium for now but would like to know more suggestions.

Thank you

Hi Rachelle,

Thank you so much for answering my question in the last episode! Loved hearing your tips and tricks and I’ll absolutely be checking out your book recommendations on habits.

I’ve heard you use the term “real herbalists” a couple times now and I thought that would make a really great question. So, what do you think makes someone a true/real herbalist. Of course, I’m sure training is going to be a huge part of your answer but I’d still like to hear it nonetheless.

Thank you!

I would loved to talk about herbs to treat psoriasis and hair shedding/thinning.

Hi Rachelle,

I’m wondering if you have suggestions for herbs for that 1-3am wake-up. Going to sleep is fine but staying that way is the trouble.

Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts about herbs for improving MMC, aka sluggish bowels. Thanks so much in advance!

Hey Rachelle! This is more of a vanity question.. I know that the reason you're glowing inside and out is because of your dedication to health (which I find truly inspiring, btw!). BUT I am just about to run out of my usual tinted moisturiser and it isn't really working for me anymore (need something more hydrating in these cold climates). What's your go to tinter moisturiser? (if you use one).

Thank you!

hi rachelle! loving the new podcast format.

do you have recommendations for chronic (non-bleeding) external hemorrhoids? i drink a lot of water, eat clean, try to get enough fiber, and i supplement with psyllium husk or ozonated magnesium oxide when i need it. i also take a high quality probiotic, fish oil, and magnesium supplement daily.

i have anaphylactic food allergies to nuts, poppy seed, and coconut, which i avoid. i try to limit dairy and gluten as well. i eat 70% plant-based and 30% high quality meat and seafood.

i’m looking for herbs to take orally, ideally, but open to topical as well.

thank you!

Hi Rachelle,

What are your thoughts on Red Light therapy. Seems like that is the new trend and it’s literally everywhere. I recently saw on your Instagram stories that you visited a spa where a treatment of that sort was available. Do you think at home devices are safe and is it worth purchasing?

Hi Rachelle,

I have a question about frozen shoulder - do you have any tips and or tricks on how to deal with it? My poor husband was recently diagnosed with it and I want to help him in anyway I can! Thank you and I hope you have a great (well deserved ☺️) vacation!

Hi Rachelle, I hoped to get your advice. I’ve mentioned previously I went through a pretty intense and rather painful natural methane SIBO treatment where I tried a lot of different things and killed good and bad bacteria and my gut has been pretty disrupted. I’m wondering if you have recommendations for rebuilding good bacteria slowly. I was looking at metagenics ultra flora balance and it looks doable I think as I can’t jump into something like 55 billion as I used to take previously. Right now I’m mainly getting probiotics from fermented foods and the occasional kombucha.

Thank you in advance!

Sorry Rachelle,

One more question from me that I’m a little embarrassed to ask. I want to preface this by letting you know that I am very much a collaboration over competition kind of girl.

I’m a trained herbalist but my small business is relatively new (launched in August). Business took off right away and I am so grateful. But I recently had a tea company with a very large social media following purchase a couple of my blends. I was admittedly a little suspicious because they don’t follow me or interact with any of my content but I just slipped my business card into their order and moved on. Well, they just launched a blend VERY similar (a one ingredient difference) to the tea they purchased from me and I’m really distraught because it doesn’t seem there’s much I can do here.

I just wanted to hear your thoughts on this because maybe I’m being too possessive over my blends. I mean, the ingredients are all on my website and of course people could replicate and sell it. It just felt gross and dishonest to me and I really need to shift my mindset. I’d appreciate your take on this, even if it’s just tough love. Thanks!

Hi Rachelle,

I've noticed a lot of health podcasts speaking about taking NMN and Resveratrol for longevity. Do you know anything about this, and would you take these supplements for longevity? If not, what would you take? Thanks so much!

Also, I noticed you are speaking about doing strength training. Do you take supplements to support muscle development, such as Creatine? What about protein? As I age, I know the importance of maintaining muscle for health. And it's definitely on my mind.

Thanks so much!
