We are speaking with my dear friend Megan Liebmann! For OG Feed Your Wild podcast listeners, you’ll remember Megan from our original moon musings and today you’ll hear Megan’s personal story and wisdom.
In this conversation, we cover the difference between “fast food medicine” and what Megan calls “Slow Medicine,” and why Megan sees herself as an “environmental remediator.” She talks about the critical need for clearing channels and setting up a life that invites healing -- and why she thinks we've been going about health all wrong!
You’ll hear about Megan’s incredible story, her experiences of childhood trauma, and how she got into the world of functional nutrition, herbalism, and holistic healing working with mentors including Andrea Nakayama and Aviva Romm.
She tells us how she finally got over imposter syndrome, why “slow medicine” became a matter of life or death for her and how she assists clients to connect with, trust and absorb their own medicine, body, and wisdom.
Megan shares the lessons she received from our Akashic readings together plus you’ll hear what Megan and her biz partner Christina have in the pipeline with Slow Medicine Collective. Pour your fave cup of herbal tea and tune in to this intimate and potent medicine story.
As a Certified Holistic Health Counselor with a master’s in Human Nutrition, Megan Liebmann has helped hundreds of people cultivate their physiological and spiritual nourishment through her work with functional nutrition, botanical medicine, Slow Medicine, and lifestyle changes that are based in slowing down and understanding what your unique physiological situation is telling you.
