LAST CALL TO JOIN US!

We start tomorrow, and enrolment will end on the 21st or when all spots are full :)

What are we starting?

I'm offering two intimate groups this round of my 90-Day Health Freedom Challenge!

The Soul Shift group will be diving deep into health of body, mind, emotions and spirit with an added exploration of how the current cosmic landscape is supporting (and even igniting!) our power to create and maintain health on all levels.

The Crone's Grove group will be exploring health on all levels through the portal of menopause, to create a completely different experience of Self than the false story that has been told for far too long about a woman in her later years!

The 90-Day Health Freedom Challenge is about empowerment and about learning an effective framework for self-generated healing of body, mind, emotions and spirit.

All the information is here: https://drkatebroderick.com.au/90-day

Come and join us, find healing in community and deep exploration of self!

THE SOUL SHIFT!

We are in the middle of some of the biggest planetary influences of our lifetime. We see the effects of this all around us, globally, locally, and in ourselves and our families.

I personally feel like we're headed, ultimately, in a much better direction for the individual and the collective than we were before. Though there are horrific aspects to much that is occurring at this time beyond our control.

But my focus is health, health of the whole person that is You!

I am calling 8 humans to join The Soul Shift starting 20 February. This intimate group will travel together through my 90-Day Health Freedom Challenge.

In this offering, I’m presenting the core program with added focus on natural and astrological cycles, so we can make the most of the experience we are all steeped in at this time.

This is a time of synthesis and transformation. Calling together the aspects of Self: body, mind, emotions and spirit, to create a whole you, an expanded version of you to step into the next chapter of life and for humanity. Imagine what we can create together!

This program will support you to step into a completely new experience of Self, and give you the tools to carve out your own continued healing path after the 90 days.

If this experiential learning and community calls to you, I encourage you to join us. When the 8 spots are filled, the enrolment will close.

The full information about the program can be found at the link below. We start on 20 February.

I was hosted this week by the amazing Dr Melisa Rangitakatu on her podcast 'Live Differently' (such a beautiful encouragement at this point in our human existence, hey?)

If you're called to, give it a listen, and I'd love to hear your reflections! 🙏🌞🌿

I hope your holidays so far have been peaceful and light, with deep rest and play in the coming days as we end 2025.

What are you doing in the coming week to give your body, mind and spirit what they need to close out this year? My practice this week is rest and letting go of structure. Can you practice just being still and listening for what arises, what you need, and then follow that thread?

Next Saturday (the 3rd), the next round of my 90-Day Health Freedom Challenge starts. This is not about new year's resolutions, it's not even about setting goals and achieving them. It's about stepping onto a new path that leads to the authentic experience of a whole and healed You.

I've just added a payment plan option on my website, to support you in making this new path more accessible if it's the right path for you. Three monthly payments of $113.

And if you're curious if it is the right path, it takes a week to travel through my free Health Freedom Starter Kit to experience a tiny bit of what the 90-Day program is all about. If you grab that today, you've got time to complete it before the challenge begins on the 3rd! So maybe part of your experience of this week out of time could be taking a bit of space to explore and nurture yourself every day :)

2026 will be super-powered for making new leaps in improving your relationship to your Self and your wellbeing. I'd love it if you joined the summer journey with us! Got questions? Please reach out so we can chat!

Very cool.

Germany's sauerkraut bacteria eliminated anxiety disorders within 6 weeks completely, while benzos create dependence

German psychiatrists discovered that specific lactobacillus strains from traditional sauerkraut fermentation eliminate anxiety disorders by resetting gut-brain axis signaling that causes pathological anxiety. Patients with severe anxiety achieved complete remission within 6 weeks of probiotic therapy without any psychiatric medications.

Anxiety disorders increasingly appear to originate from disrupted gut microbiome composition that sends constant stress signals to the brain via the vagus nerve. The sauerkraut bacteria produce GABA (the brain's calming neurotransmitter) and other compounds in the gut that signal the brain to reduce anxiety responses. When patients consume therapeutic doses of these specific strains, the bacteria colonize the digestive tract and continuously produce anxiety-reducing signals. Brain imaging shows normalized amygdala activity and reduced stress hormone production. Within weeks, patients report their anxiety simply disappearing. It's like replacing the gut bacteria that scream danger constantly with bacteria that whisper calm.

The global anti-anxiety medication market exceeds $20 billion annually, dominated by benzodiazepines (Xanax, Va**um, Ativan) that patients become dependent on and require for life while facing cognitive impairment and addiction risks. A probiotic that cures anxiety in 6 weeks threatens this pharmaceutical market. Research funding flows toward new psychiatric drugs rather than gut microbiome solutions, despite German data showing superior outcomes with zero addiction potential.

American anxiety patients take daily benzodiazepines for years, becoming dependent while their anxiety never truly resolves. German anxiety patients consume sauerkraut bacteria for 6 weeks and achieve lasting remission without drugs. The microbiome cure works better and has no addiction risk—it just doesn't create lifetime pharmaceutical customers.

Why take addictive anxiety drugs forever when sauerkraut bacteria cure it in 6 weeks?

What do the words 'health freedom' mean to you?

Here's my take: we all have the power to create and maintain optimum health--that power lives within us and will propel us to feeling truly well if we get rid of the root causes of why we are unwell on all levels: body, mind, emotions and spirit.

When we are running on our own power, and we give ourselves what we truly need, we are free.

But, yeah, we've all tried many times to change our health habits, right? Usually with different levels of success (or not).

This happens because we're trying to use will power and, honestly, being really harsh on ourselves to whip ourselves into some imagined 'right' way of being!

We also are often trying to make changes at a rate that our nervous system simply doesn't feel safe to do, and life is so generally overwhelming that we don't take the time and space to really attend in a loving way to ourselves!

It can feel like there's no way forward to feeling truly well within, when we are stuck in this disempowered place.

If you'd like to explore a different approach to making true and lasting improvements to your health of body, mind, emotions and spirit, I invite you to grab my Free Health Freedom Starter Kit. Take the first steps onto a different path and see where it leads!
