024. Breaking Free from Big Pharma: Katie Hill's Awakening Path to Wellness

Joining us today is Katie Hill who shares with us her awakening journey through the lens of health and the healthcare system.

Katie’s story of seeking medical treatment after becoming sick exposed to her the reality of the modern day healthcare system in the US. She experienced first hand the effects of medication aimed at “healing” her symptoms, and how these simply led to a further decline in her health and a rise in new and alarming symptoms to which she was simply offered more medication.

As things worsened and doctors eventually prescribed her Xanax, she decided to take her health into her own hands and seek out other solutions.

It was then that she was recommended a naturopath and began her journey to understanding that we are able to heal by addressing the root cause of our physical symptoms through addressing our lifestyle, stress, healing trauma and being with our emotions.

In this conversation, we discuss the importance of taking back our power and agency when it comes to our health. We discuss exploring a more holistic approach to healthcare and our well-being that considers the whole person and addresses the root causes of health issues.

Katie’s journey with holistic healthcare providers has aligned her to her purpose work, helping healers create online businesses to reach more and more people. She has also created a platform for people to recommend practitioners they’ve worked with, providing greater access and visibility to those helping us to truly heal and become healthy, whole human beings.
