006: Here's a little early Earth Day love in the form of an enriching conversation between Dr. B and her sweet guest, Dr. Caileen Vermilyea, an EMT-turned-holistic naturopathic doctor and herbalist who studies, honors and utilizes the power of plants and nature to heal, with a focus in today's episode on those with monthly cycles. She beautifully connects our inner landscape of our bodies to our outer landscape, Mother Earth, and teaches us how we can look at what's provided for us a bit differently so that we can truly walk in tune with nature and ourselves in a healthy way.
