Host Sarah Kleiner welcomes naturopath and educator Sheila Kennealy, an American living in France who teaches functional blood chemistry and runs The Practitioner Blueprint course. Sheila shares how early health challenges—Roaccutane, rapid weight loss, heavy antibiotic use, liver and biliary issues, mold exposure, and family trauma—shaped her focus on biochemistry, meditation, and the link between psychological and physiological freedom. They discuss environmental contributors to modern illness (non-native EMFs, food, water, air, mold, viral reactivation), the importance of nervous system regulation, and why dogmatic diets and chronic macronutrient restriction can backfire, especially for women. They emphasize pattern recognition in labs over single markers, seasonality in interventions, supplement fatigue, and nuanced approaches to GLP-1s, HRT, and MCAS/POTS, including the viral Pepcid/Allegra PMDD trend.
