22: Holy Basil: Ancient adaptogen for the stress of our modern world

03/23/24 • 13 min

I find it ironic that I was stressing about getting this episode done on time and I was talking all about how holy basil can help overcome stress! :)
My curiosity has been piqued about herbalism lately. How fascinating is it that plants that have existed for centuries can still help support our bodies today?! I, for one, love that!
And with chronic stress of the modern world forcing our minds and bodies out of balance, what better time than now to consider how herbs and adaptogens like holy basil can help.
Here are just a few articles referenced:

21: Wheat: 3 Reasons Why Gluten-Free is so prevalent. Plus, the must-read Wheat Belly book

I often say "I'm gluten free" -- but feel there needs to be a longer explanation as to "why" I do this even though I don't have Celiac Disease.
Since there is much to say about modern-day wheat and how it compares to the wheat of yesteryear, let's dive into 3 reasons why "gluten-free" has become such a popular term.
The featured "hero" of this episode is Dr. William Davis and his book: Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health.
If this episode changed your opinion on wheat AT ALL - please let me know! I know for me, just looking at the book again has reinvigorated my vigilance to JUST SAY NO to modern-day wheat!
