Episode Details

If you’re curious as to if you have any stored emotions or trauma that might be causing your illness, preventing you from achieving your or even just showing up as the best, authentic version of yourself, I invite you to take my free Stored Emotions and Trauma Quiz


How often do you think about your kidneys?


In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Robin Rose, a longtime voyager and pioneer in conscious and holistic healing whose path went from nursing to nurse practitioner to medical school. Her passion for kidney health was sparked by her own experience with kidney cancer and kidney disease, and the decade-long recovery that led her to a new paradigm she calls phenology, the art and clinical science of kidney success.


We talk about exactly what to look for in labs (including how to think about GFR), the emotional and spiritual energetics behind kidney dysfunction, and the top lifestyle moves to make when kidney function isn’t where it should be. We also get into why kidneys are so often overlooked in medicine and how Dr. Rose rebuilt her health after a nephrectomy.


You’ll Learn:


  • Labs to consider for assessing kidney health
  • What a healthy GFR level is
  • Energetics, emotional, and spiritual aspects underlying kidney dysfunction and disease
  • Top 10 lifestyle changes for poor kidney function
  • The hidden early signs of kidney decline most doctors miss
  • How conventional and even functional medicine often overlook kidney health
  • Key lifestyle shifts that can improve kidney performance and energy levels
  • The quiet damage high animal protein diets can cause in compromised kidneys
  • What it feels like to rebuild health after losing a kidney
  • How spiritual practices and mindset can influence physical healing
  • The overlooked role of kidney tubules and how to test their function
  • Practical ways to reduce kidney-toxic exposures in daily life
