I'm a firm believer that coming into contact with a germ doesn't mean you'll catch it, and I still believe that. What gets us sick is when our barriers come down. So I'm walking you through exactly how I let mine down (hello, sundress and Birkenstocks in freezing, windy weather), the six pernicious evils from Traditional Chinese Medicine, and how to stay balanced through one of the hardest seasonal transitions of the year. Then I get honest about something I've been mulling over all fall: why the title herbalist isn't resonating with me anymore, and what it means to practice in a way that's rooted in plants but reaches far beyond them.What We Cover- Why exposure to a germ isn't the same as getting sick- Your barrier systems: skin, lungs, digestion, and the layers of immunity behind them- How I got sick this fall, and the mala bead and bread pudding story from years ago- The six pernicious evils in TCM: wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness, and fire/heat- How these line up with Vata and Ayurvedic energetics- Living with the seasons: dressing for the weather, warming foods, abhyanga, and doing the opposite of what's going on around you- The herbs I reach for to build resilience: astragalus, guduchi sattva, and echinacea- Why the title herbalist doesn't feel resonant for me right now- Why most herbal content focuses on the plant instead of the person- "Everybody uses herbs, so why do you need an herbalist?"- Practicing in the space that's herbal adjacent but not quite herbalLinks and Resources📚 Herb-Drug Interactions Masterclass with KP → https://buy.stripe.com/dRm4gyfvDcimchAdRT9Ve08
