Hi Rachelle! I would love to hear your take on alkalinity and pH balance within the body. Many holistic specialists and practitioners seem to tout the idea of consuming alkaline foods and alkaline water for improved balance within the body. However, I often hear typical Western medicine practitioners (including RDs) argue that it is impossible to change the pH balance within the body just by drinking water or food, because it “doesn’t change that easily.” It is often difficult to know what is true—in many aspects of the “wellness world”—when experts on all sides seem divided. What do you think? I would be grateful for your perspective, as I think of you as my teacher whom I’ve never met before haha. Thanks in advance!

Hi Eve! I am happy to dive in to this. It's a good one and you're right, so much disagreement between schools of thought on it. I've added to the queue and will get there asap. Thanks for asking, and for the teacher role! I accept and appreciate the honor :D

Happy Monday! I love using mushroom tincture daily for immune support and I buy from my local herbalist! When is the best time to take it? First thing in the morning? On an empty or full stomach? At night before bed?? Xx

Any time! With food or without! Doesn't matter :)

Hi! Just clarifying-going forward there will no longer be video recordings? The format is now audio only? Thanks!

Hi! I'm not committed to doing away with video — just trying audio only as we adjust to the format that best suits everyone. Do you prefer video?

I’ll let you know in a few weeks! I was really enjoying the videos but this might be just as good 😊

Hi Rachelle! While too late for this week i'm sure, for a future time would you be able to recommend herbal supports (or anything else) that can help regulate while dealing with grief, loss, and what feels like an all-systems shut-down? Thanks so much

Oh Becci, yes absolutely. I'm surprised this didn't come up sooner and I welcome the opportunity to talk about such an important topic, as hard as it can be. Meanwhile, if you haven't yet, you might see my resources for loss here: https://www.ursupernatural.com/topics/death-awareness-grief-and-grieving-resources?rq=death

Hi Rachelle,

I have a question too that I’d love your expert insight on:

Under eye luggage... 🧐

I’d love to understand what it signals beyond being tired, and what we can do about it naturally.

You've got it! I added to the queue and will dive in soon. Spoiler: We'll be talking about water retention / edema, so you might like to check out the episode on cellular hydration if you haven't already. And, we'll get into lymph function and more. Thanks for asking!
