When actress Noel Elie was diagnosed with Lyme disease, she decided not to rely on mainstream medicine but instead opted to utilize alternative treatment modalities, beginning with plant therapy. For Noel, her very first introduction to plant medicine through microdosing psilocybin and ayahuasca served as an amazing gateway into her journey toward holistic healing. “I don’t look at it as being defiant; I look at it as being curious,” says Noel, speaking on her decision to look the other way despite her doctors’ advice at the outset of her diagnosis. Noel describes the painful letting-go process that followed when she realized that she and her husband had to find a new home after testing the house for mold, and how this process helped her become more intentional about her health and possessions. Finally, Noel touches on the power of intuition and how to surrender yourself to it when faced with a decision.   Follow Noel @noel_elie Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode Resources: Save 10% on any Somavedic device with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.somavedic.com  Somavedic and HRV study Somavedic Medic and its effects on HRV (summary on page 35) Save 30% on your first order of Brami Snacks with code EVERFORWARD30 at https://bramisnacks.com  Learn more about Noel and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/518
