Healing the Gut-Heart-Brain Axis: Functional Wellness & Psychedelic Integration with Angie Gallagher & Susannah Rose Stokes

In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, we explore the deep intersection of gut health, cardiac coherence, and nervous system transformation through two very different yet profoundly aligned lenses. Functional Medicine Health Coach Angie Gallagher breaks down the myths around cholesterol and heart disease, while Energy Priestess and veteran Susannah Rose Stokes unveils the emotional frequencies stored in the body—and how psilocybin-assisted ceremonies help release them. Together, they unpack the “three minds” of the body: gut, heart, and brain, and how breathwork, intuition, and inner stillness pave the way for true transformation.

About the Guests:Angie Gallagher is a National Board-Certified Functional Medicine Coach with 25+ years in cardiac rehab. She bridges Western protocols with root-cause healing, specializing in metabolic and emotional health via the heart-gut-brain connection.Susannah Rose Stokes is a Marine veteran turned transformational guide and co-founder of Embodied Metamorphosis. Her work blends sacred plant medicine with somatic healing, activating deep nervous system repair and energetic integration.

Key Takeaways:

• Cholesterol is often scapegoated; inflammation and metabolic dysfunction are deeper culprits in heart disease.

• The gut-heart-brain axis operates as an intelligent, energetic ecosystem—not isolated systems.

• Psychedelics like psilocybin can support nervous system repair when used ceremonially.

• Breathwork is the first step to self-regulation and intuitive reconnection.

• True resilience requires spiritual surrender and metabolic awareness, not just behavior change.
