In this workshop-style episode, Emma explores the powerful connection between gut health, the brain, and mental wellbeing. Drawing on both naturopathic and Chinese medical perspectives, she explains how deficiencies, trauma, and family predispositions can manifest as low mood or mental health struggles - and how holistic healing can transform the picture.

You’ll learn:

🌱 Why serotonin, trauma, and family history all begin in the gut
🥦 How diet, intolerances, and deficiencies influence mood and brain chemistry
💊 The role of supplements such as omega-3, B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D
🌿 Herbal and naturopathic approaches for emotional balance - from ashwagandha to skullcap
☀️ The lifestyle habits that nourish the nervous system: hydration, light, oxygen, movement, and community

Emma also shares practical strategies for detoxification, food intolerances, amino acids, and combining naturopathy with therapy for long-term healing.

This episode is both practical and hopeful - offering clear steps you can take to rebuild balance in the body and mind.

Empowering you to take control of your health — naturally.

As the seasons shift, so do we. In this workshop, Emma Jones Phillips explores the deep connection between seasonal changes, the five elements of Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic wisdom, and naturopathic nutrition.

Recorded just before the autumn equinox, this episode reveals why symptoms often flare during seasonal transitions - and how these moments of imbalance are actually powerful opportunities for healing. Discover which organs, emotions, and body systems are linked with each season:

🍂 Autumn (metal/vata) - colon, skin, lungs, and the mind
❄️ Winter (water/kapha) - kidneys and bladder
🌱 Spring (wood/pitta) - liver and gallbladder
☀️ Summer (fire/pitta) - heart and small intestine
🌾 Late summer (earth/kapha) - stomach, spleen, thyroid, and self-nurturing

Emma shares how colour, flavour, diet, and lifestyle choices can bring balance in each phase - from warming spices in autumn to seaweed and salty foods in winter, to green detox foods in spring and fire-boosting foods in summer. She also explains how emotions like worry, grief, fear, anger, and joy are tied to these elemental cycles, and how awareness can transform the way we live and heal.

This is a fascinating exploration of how aligning with the rhythm of nature can help you understand your body more deeply, support your health year-round, and reconnect with your own natural flow.

In this special workshop, Emma Jones Phillips shines a light on the often-ignored subject of men’s hormonal health. From puberty to andropause, daily testosterone rhythms to monthly cycles linked with the moon, men’s wellbeing is far more cyclical and nuanced than most people realise.

Discover why andropause is now appearing earlier, how stress and stimulants impact testosterone and dopamine, and why nutrients like zinc, omega-3, magnesium, and vitamin D are vital for energy, fertility, and emotional balance. Emma also shares the role of plant medicine — from tribulus and maca to ginseng, fenugreek, and mucuna - plus practical lifestyle strategies such as “cave time,” light therapy, and managing synthetic estrogens.

Whether you’re a man experiencing these changes, or supporting the men in your life, this episode offers naturopathic insights and everyday steps to boost vitality, confidence, and long-term health.

Tune in and explore how men can move through hormonal shifts with strength, clarity, and resilience.
