Overview
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alia Avalon, a naturopathic physician, Kundalini yoga instructor, and mother who specializes in helping women restore their hormones and skin health naturally. Alia’s journey into medicine started when she watched her mother deteriorate on 15 medications at age 40 despite having full access to healthcare, and it led her to discover a completely different way of healing, one that got her mother’s lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis into remission. This conversation covers the root causes of acne, the problems with conventional skin treatments, what water quality actually does to your health, and a breathing practice you can start today that has been shown to lower heart rate and blood pressure in just three minutes.
You’ll Learn
- The difference between a licensed naturopathic doctor and a traditional naturopath, and why it matters when choosing who to trust with your health
- Why the liver detox debate gets it backwards, and how the rain barrel analogy explains exactly why your body cannot always keep up on its own in today’s toxic environment
- The three root causes behind most acne cases including gut dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, and poor liver health, and why antibiotics and Accutane often make things worse long term
- Why birth control as an acne treatment adds more burden to the very organ that needs to heal first
- How emotional stress and unresolved experiences show up on the skin, and why healing the emotional component is often what breaks the cycle
- Why drinking reverse osmosis water without remineralizing it can lead to heart palpitations, fatigue, and mineral depletion over time
- What Kundalini yoga actually is, why it is different from other forms of yoga, and how holding a simple posture while breathing can build the mental resilience that carries into every area of your life
- A specific three-part breathing technique you can do anywhere in three minutes that research has shown can lower systolic blood pressure by up to 20 points
