In this episode, I share about finding wood nettles and why I recommend everyone get familiar with this nutrient powerhouse. I then dig into talking about cholesterol from a deeper perspective on the heels of an Instagram post I did that got me a lot of questions and DMs. It's clear we are still confused on this piece of our health collectively speaking and in part due to lack of information as well as disinformation. 

I share a function WHOLE-ISTIC perspective to help give a more thorough take on this piece of your health. Enjoy!

There’s a quiet intelligence in your body that knows how to heal, if you remember how to listen. Rewilded Wellness is a conversation about returning to that conversation-the one between you and the natural world that shaped our biology. Host Lydia Joy guides these explorations, moving beyond generic advice to examine personalized, nature-inspired approaches to well-being. Episodes weave together functional nutrition, mindful movement, and mental resilience practices, all through the lens of our inherent connection to the environment. You’ll hear discussions on how seasonal eating aligns with our internal rhythms, why physical movement is more than just exercise, and ways to cultivate a mindset that supports sustainable health. This isn’t about adding more complexity to your life; it’s about stripping back the noise to access the foundational wisdom we all carry. The podcast operates on the core idea that vibrant health is an active partnership with the wildness within and around us. Tune in for grounded, thoughtful dialogues that reframe healing not as a destination, but as a daily practice of realignment and trust in your own capacity.
