Medical WTFs: Ways Western Medicine Makes Healing Hard
In today’s episode of Herbalism Uncensored, we’re diving into the parts of modern medicine that make us go, “Wait—what?”
These might seem like small things, but they make a huge difference when it comes to real healing. From hospital “food” that hinders recovery, to bad iron supplements, outdated lab markers, and unnecessary surgeries  we’re breaking down the why, the WTF, and the what to do instead.
Our hope is that shining light on these overlooked areas helps you catch some easy wins for your own health and healing journey — and feel empowered to advocate for yourself in the medical system.

Fall is here! and with it comes one of the trickiest seasonal transitions to navigate. In Ayurveda, autumn is ruled by Vata: cool, dry, mobile, and light. If we don’t adjust, we risk sleepless nights, scattered energy, and digestive upset.
In this episode, we talk about how to live well through the fall season: what foods support balance, which herbs and oils bring steadiness, and how to update your daily routine so you feel grounded instead of blown around by the wind. From warm stews and kitchari to abhyanga, slow yoga, and even the surprising role of enemas this is your guide to moving through autumn with clarity and calm.
