In this episode, I talk about how antibiotics have never been tested safe for the human microbiome. They are also one of the most toxic classes of drugs and doctors hand them out like candy.

It's time to be HONEST about this excess overuse of antibiotics, so we can make educated decisions and create a better path to support our health.

I'm very passionate about this after seeing hundreds of clients health harmed in the long run in part by excess use of antibiotics over the course of their lives.

We can do better. In fact, we must.

I also shared two resources; one is a book called Beyond Antibiotics if you are a nerd like me and like to read the research/studies. The other is a functional test I've been working with this past year called; BiomeFX ('the gold standard' for microbiome health). I've also included the main probiotics I work with to prevent and repair when antibiotics have been or are being used.

*by the way, I recommend listening to my podcast at 1.5x speed  (since I talk *painfully* slow)

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.
