This week Paula Kersch, owner of Botanically Curious and Danielle Crease, owner of DC fit , talk about the downfalls of dieting. Danielle reminds us that the intuitive practices our bodies need have become unconventional methods, due to marketing noise and diet fads. Paula focuses on the vitamin content in herbs and how foraged food, even in small quantities may help you fill that nutrient void. Remember, never forage or harvest herbs from roadways, high traffic areas with pollutants or pesticides.
I you would like to skip the hellos and how are you intro, we start diving into the main topic around minute 13 !

This episode kicks off the month of November and our immunity talk. Coincidentally I am recording with a head cold, so apologies for the quality. Immune support is not just selecting immune modulating herbs. There are so many herbs with so many ways they can be incorporated depending on how they are prepared, there is always an herb for someone but herbs are not a 1 size fits all. This is why energetics knowledge and working with a trained herbalist is important for proper support. Remember, Herbalist work in tandem with doctors and other health care providers as part of your wellness team!Connect on IGPaula : @botanically_curiousPodcast Page: @Bandsandbotanicals--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bandsandbotanicals/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bandsandbotanicals/support

Highlights from the show!Paula is moving to Maine in October! Danielle is still our resident trainer and will be a spotlight on the show every month! We are focused on emotional pain and trauma this week because everything in the body is connected. We mention Somatic therapy, ways to scan the body and have a brief conversation with yourself about what the body is doing, how you are feeling and why.Tension and discomfort in the muscle causes pain if left untreated. For long term wellness we should be looking at all the pain or trauma we have experienced in a safe space, potentially with a trained professional to properly work through that pain and trauma for a healthier life long term. Trauma is held in the body and no one person experiences trauma the same but there are resources available: https://www.traumainformedcare.chcs.org/ ACE's Adverse Childhood Experiences: https://americanspcc.org/take-the-aces-quiz/ Connect with us on IG ! @bandsandbotanicals Fitness and movement questions @daniellemcreaseHerbal questions @botanically_curious--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bandsandbotanicals/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bandsandbotanicals/support

40 episodes down and we are rounding out season 1!! So what better way to end it then to get to know your hosts a little better? At this point, we've spent some time together and we've gotten to know each other. We've talked about a wide variety of topics and their relations to herbalism and fitness. So for this episode, we delve a little deeper and share some experiences within our own lives. Maybe you will even notice how these experiences shaped the women we are today, professionally and personally. We would also like to send a huge thank you to everyone who shared their knowledge and their passions with us! And of course... to everyone who listened this season!!

Dropping knowledge this week with some myths or misconceptions in fitness and holistic wellness industries!.Protein, fats, and carbs, oh my! Trying to eat healthily might feel like navigating a foreign land where you are unsure who to trust or which road to follow. Danielle discusses why research is necessary but listening to your body is best..Paula discusses herbalism as a career path, what to expect from an herbalist, how long to store herbs, why green tea makes you jittery, and when foraging herbs or wild foods may become an issue..An excellent application for foraging in your city is fallingfruit.org, a worldwide app where people list wild foods they have found, kind of like geocaching for herb nerds!.Unsurprisingly, The history of early American anti-foraging laws reveals that supporters of restricting foraging rights typically grounded their efforts in racism, classism, colonialism, imperialism, or some combination of these cruel practices and beliefs..1. Anti-Foraging Laws Targeting Native Americans.Native American tribes were probably the earliest victims of anti-foraging laws in the New World. Shortly after English settlers landed in the New World, they began pushing the Powhatan Native American tribe off their traditional hunting and foraging grounds. These settlers defended their newly occupied “property” with arms. As more and more white settlers arrived in America over generations, the foraging practices of many Native Americans—or, more specifically, their status as hunter-gatherers, as opposed to agricultural practitioners—was used to justify driving them from lands they had historically occupied..2. Anti-Foraging Laws Targeting African Americans.After the Civil War, plantation owners in the American South moved forcefully and systematically to restrict the foraging rights and practices of newly freed African American slaves. Many slaves freed after the Civil War understandably sought to leave farm work—and the farmers who had enslaved them—behind. As they had before the Civil War, freed slaves earned money by selling foods they foraged and hunted. In addition to income, foraging provided African Americans with some degree of self-sufficiency..New York City parks officials have long taken a dim view of foragers in city parks. A forager caught in New York City could face fines of up to $250. However, the city has, in most cases, opted in favor of education and discouraging foragers over issuing fines.But there are exceptions, such as the 1986 arrest of Central Park forager Steve Brill. Brill, a New Yorker who goes by the moniker “Wildman,” was arrested in a sting operation carried out by city officials. Brill was arrested for leading paid foraging tours in New York City’s Central Park. Brill’s “crime” was described as “snatching and eating dandelion greens from the meadows of Central Park.” The city’s parks commissioner at the time, Henry Stern, said he “couldn’t stomach the idea of anyone ‘eating our parks.” Brill’s arrest and subsequent trial was “a public relations debacle for the parks department” and made news in more than a dozen national and international newspapers. Ultimately, the city dropped the charges against Brill after he agreed to lead his foraging tours as an employee of the city’s Parks Department, which he did for several years..IG: Bands and Botanicals @bandsandbotanicalsDanielle: @DaniellemcreasePaula: @Botanically_curious --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bandsandbotanicals/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bandsandbotanicals/support

In today's episode we delve into breaking down the female cycle, what herbs can support your body during these changes, and how to incorporate nutrition timing into your health and wellness journey. Did you know that a woman's hormone cycle can be broken down into four parts over 28 days!? Paula walks us through each phase of our cycle, how that could effect us energetically or emotionally, and which herbs we can use to best support each phase. If you would like to skip ahead to the herbal section for each phase we start around 31 minutes of the show. Within the fitness world there are a lot of opinions on Nutrition Timing. When is the best time to eat after a workout? How much should you eat? What should you eat? Sometimes the answer is simpler than you may realize. PS- We had a VERY energetic puppy in the recording room today. Please disregard any noises or breaks in the recording.

In today's episode Danielle and Paula will talk about common kettlebell mistakes and herbs that support joint health.Kettlebells are only gaining in popularity, but that doesn't necessarily mean everyone is executing them right. Keeping with our kettlebell theme and our upcoming even on July 11th, 2021, we wanted to really zone in on common mistakes made during the Kettlebell Swing. And with total body movements, such as the swing, there is a large demand on the joints. So rather than applying some generic topical ointment, let Paula show you which herbs can support joint health and how to apply them within your life. One of the main herbs mentioned on the episode is Willow bark.

In today’s episode, we discuss our route to recovery. If you are a person who doesn’t put much effort or thought into your recovery plan, you may start to see the adverse effects of this in the gym. Listen in for tactics you can incorporate easily to make your next workout a strong one!Hydrate, sleep, and stretch! If you aren’t doing these core recovery practices, it is time to start. Inflammation is a big buzz word when talking about recovery but not all inflammation is the same. Choosing herbs based on the energetics of your body is important.When choosing herbs for recovery focus on:1. The goal- what are you trying to support in the body ?2. Energetics of your body, is the natural state hot, cold, tense? Maybe damp?3. Herbal affinity drivers- where is the healing going to happen?Some Herbs mentioned :Wild lettuce Lactuca virosa , wild lettuce is often referred to as “opium lettuce” due to its purported pain-relieving qualities! It is a plant in the Lactuca genus; the extract is often ingested for its mild analgesic and sedative effects.Marshmallow root is rich in both polysaccharides and starch. When made using the cold infusion method, the healing polysaccharides are the primary component that gets extracted.Self-heal has a mildly bitter taste and is cooling and drying to the body. The physical body acts as an astringent, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, mild antiseptic, detoxifier, diuretic, hemostatic, and vulnerary (a substance used to help heal external wounds).Join our next in person event : https://botanicallycurious.com/events-1 Fitness - Danielle: @DaniellemcreaseHerbs- Paula: @Botanically_curiousPodcast: @BandsandBotanicals --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bandsandbotanicals/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bandsandbotanicals/support
