Ep 1: What Is Illness, What Is Healing?

My first podcast episode and a topic that is at the core of what holistic healing really means. In my work and the clients I see, this remains a constant in my clinical practice. Reminding people that healing requires creating safety in our bodies again. An opportunity and invitation to gather up the forgotten parts of ourselves and returning to wholeness.

Inside this episode, I unpack:

- The Language of Healing and How it Should be Redefined
- What Holistic Healing Really Means
- Redefining Illness and Disease
- Understanding Symptoms and Stress

I invite you to explore a gentler conversation with yourself and tend to what is being ignored.

Ep 3: Is it my gut, my hormones or my nervous system?

In this week's episode of This Is How We Heal Podcast, I dive into the link between gut, hormones, and the nervous system. Unpacking why these systems don't operate as separate silos, how symptoms overlap between these systems and why it's important to understand how they are connected when we are looking at a holistic, whole-person approach to healing

Inside this episode, I’ll guide you through:

🔬 The science behind the gut-hormone-nervous system connection
💡How to start assessing your own symptoms with clarity
📍A practical roadmap for approaching healing from a whole-body lens

"Is it your gut, your hormones, or your nervous system? It's likely all of them. And that's good news because it means you have more than one doorway into healing."

When you’re experiencing symptoms such as fatigue that won't shift, brain fog, mysterious bloating, skin breakouts, or anxiety, we naturally want to find the one culprit to fix it all.

Is it hormones? Is it the gut? Could it be stress? In this eye-opening episode, Anthia reveals why these systems aren't separate silos but part of an intricate web constantly communicating with each other.

We look at:
The science behind these connections
How to start assessing yourself
And offers a practical roadmap for taking a whole-body approach to healing.

My latest Substack - How To Holistically Heal… Food Beliefs

Dear You Who Is Healing,
It is not my job as your practitioner to change your beliefs around food, but rather to meet your symptoms and dis-ease with reverence, care, and attention, to discover the underlying causes and influencing factors of why you’re feeling what you’re feeling.
When you fill in your Health Questionnaire and when we meet in consultation, I will ask about your food philosophy - your personal compass around eating. It reflects the beliefs, values, and experiences that shape how and why you choose the foods you do. Exploring this together helps us understand whether those choices are supporting or hindering your healing right now. This is never about judgment, but about awareness, tracing how your beliefs have formed and discerning whether they still serve your body’s needs today.
Whether you choose to eat meat or not, prefer raw over cooked, or follow vegetarian, paleo, or plant-based principles - the choice is yours. My role is not to convert, but to accompany you with curiosity, knowledge, and care as you deepen your relationship with food and health.
What I do ask is that you revisit why you choose what you choose. Get informed, truly informed, and make decisions from awareness rather than habit or reaction. When we bring reverence to the act of eating - how we source, prepare, cook, and share food - the meal becomes more than fuel; it becomes a ritual of care.
Holistically yours,
Anthia

"Food is more than fuel, it's connection to seasons, it's rhythm, it's a return to self."

Toast with avocado for breakfast, chicken and rice for lunch, salmon and green beans for dinner - sound familiar?

In this episode, we will explore why eating the same "healthy" foods every day might actually be working against your health.
- How our quest for dietary safety and control can lead to poor gut health
- Why mono diets are linked to nutritional deficiencies and metabolic stagnation
- How to find the path back to food variety through seasonal eating and ancient wisdom

"Healing is not a war against the body, but a conversation with its wisdom."

Illness isn't simply something wrong with you, and healing isn’t just about the quick fix. In this foundational episode of This is How We Heal, we look at the concepts of illness and healing and what holistic health really means.

This isn't just another wellness podcast; it's born from three decades of clinical conversations that never had quite enough time, from the deeper questions that go beyond "what supplement should I take?"

It's for anyone who's sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, overwhelmed by wellness noise, or simply yearning to feel like themselves again.

In this episode, we explore:
- The language of healing and how it should be redefined
- Disease vs dis-ease
- Why symptoms aren’t problems, but instead act as messengers

How To Holistically Heal… A Biodiverse Diet

Why Eating the Same Thing Every Day Isn’t as Healthy as It Seems

Our bodies thrive on variety. A biodiverse diet nourishes your gut, strengthens your immune system, and keeps your microbiome resilient. 
Eating the same foods day after day might feel safe and simple but over time, it can limit your nutrient intake, disrupt gut diversity, and even contribute to new sensitivities. 
Rotation and variety are the quiet keys to deep nourishment and lasting health.
