172: When Conventional Medicine Isn't Enough: How Lisanna Wallance Discovered the Healing Potential of Food and Herbs

Описание

What happens when conventional medicine helps, but you know there has to be more you can do to support your health? In this episode of the Plant-Based Eating for Health podcast, Kathleen Gage sits down with chef, clinical herbalist, and author Lisanna Wallance to explore the powerful connection between food, herbs, and overall wellness. Born with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a hereditary connective tissue disorder, Lisanna's health challenges led her to study clinical herbalism in Paris and discover how whole plant foods and herbs could complement the medical care she depended on. Together, Kathleen and Lisanna discuss the relationship between gut health and the immune system, why so many women's health concerns have historically been dismissed, and how simple, consistent changes can have a lasting impact on well-being. You'll also learn the difference between plant nutrients and medicinal plant compounds, why herbal tea blends are often more effective than single herbs, and what Europe can teach us about food quality and nutrition. Whether you're curious about herbal medicine, looking to improve your health through nutrition, or simply interested in a more holistic approach to wellness, this conversation offers practical insights you can begin applying today.
