Welcome! Proud mommy to 9 year old Eliana, 4 year old Theo, and and wife of Matthew Normansell of Eden Wild Food. Megan M.
Megan Normansell and Jamie Sillas are Certified Holistic Practitioners and Herbalists, helping people to accomplish vibrant health, naturally and sustainably, serving Wisconson for 17 years. I am a mother, wife, wild food & mushroom forager, hiker, blogger, activist, painter, thrifter, antique collector, and health practitioner from Appleton, Wisconsin. I have studied Naturopathic Medicine & Practitioner Studies at Clayton College of Natural Health, studied nutrition at the University of Florida, and have received my degree & certification to practice Holistic Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York. I received my certification as a Certified Family Herbalist at The School of Natural Healing in Utah. I've had the opportunity to train one-on-one with a multitude of wonderful foraging and herbal experts from around the world. My husband and I teach wild edibles & wild medicine foraging classes, and our unique herbal products are wild harvested locally and made by hand. With 18 years of experience under my belt, I am an expert in utilizing bioindividually appropriate and targeted nutritional supplementation & herbal medicines to assist in reaching your health goals. I am board certified with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. My education is unique in that it integrates all major dietary theories – combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies like Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine with modern concepts like veganism, paleo, Weston Price diet, FODMAP, macrobiotics, food energetics, the glycemic index, raw foods, and so many more. I use a total of 115 different dietary theories to find the exact combination my clients need! I am equipped to help you bridge the gap between modern medicine and natural, holistic healing to achieve true health and balance. Some of my instructors include Dr. Walter Willet, Chair of Nutrition at Harvard University; Dr. David Katz, Director of Yale University’s Prevention Research Center; Dr. Deepak Chopra, leader in the field of mind-body medicine; Geneen Roth, bestselling author and expert on emotional eating; and Dr. Andrew Weil, Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. Thanks for visiting, and don’t hesitate to contact me if I can help you in any way! Normansell, CHC, CFH, AADP
We get asked a lot by clients how to stay healthy throughout the holidays and prevent that dreaded seasonal weight gain... so here are some of our best tips!
Maybe “surviving” isn’t the right word, because for most it’s a holiday season surrounded by family, comforts, festivities, and love. Maybe “surviving your current pan…

Hey, Oshkosh! The Repair Cafe will be happening in just over a month: January, 10, 2026. We'll be at the downtown YMCA once again, this time from 10am to 2pm. No small engines or bicycles this time, but you can still bring for repair: appliances, jewelry, electronics, furniture, computers, clothing, watches AND swatches. Tell your friends, family, and neighbors that the Repair Cafe Oshkosh is back in business--for four whole hours.
Pro-tip: avoid the wait and come by around 12pm or 1pm.

If you don't already have your cranberry sauce made this Thanksgiving, this is such a simple way to make it fresh, local, inexpensive, delicious and homemade. Add a bag of fresh Wisconsin cranberries to a pot with a couple tablespoons of water. Cook on medium heat and stir until they get to this consistency, and add about four spoonfuls of raw honey. Voila! www.aayushealth.com

Now is the best time to harvest rose hips! Rose hips have over 8x the vitamin c of oranges (426 mg of vitamin c per 3/4 cup rose hips) and 2.6x the lycopene of tomatoes.
This serving also contains 429 mg of potassium, 2001 mg of lutein/zeaxanthin, & 145% daily value vitamin A. I like wild harvesting mine, but dried rose hips are easily accessible at many health food stores and websites and make a great tea. After the first frost they get a bit of a "shock" which dramatically increases vitamin C content- harvest them right after! www.aayushealth.com
