True health comes from tapping into the body's innate ability to heal instead of frantically looking for outside solutions.Whether you are dealing with cancer, autoimmune disease, or a slew of mysterious symptoms, chronic illness can cut to the core of a woman’s being. This is something that Brenda Walding, DPT, FDN-P, knows all too well. Due to the intense stress she experienced--starting with graduating from physical therapy school, a move, new job, getting engaged then married--she began to suffer from chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and severe rashes that covered her body.

Through this horrific journey, she learned to change her health scope and turned to essential oils, dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments and being more mindful. Brenda believes that health must encompass physical, emotional and spiritual aspects. True health comes from tapping into the body's innate ability to heal instead of frantically looking for outside solutions. In short, it's time to heal by leading from your heart. Listen as Brenda joins Dr. Taz to share her story and discuss points from her book, Sick of Being Sick: The Woman's Holistic Guide to Conquering Chronic Illness.

What is hol+ with Dr. Taz MD | The Future of Medicine is Holistic?
hol+ with Dr. Taz MD is redefining modern medicine through a comprehensive, evidence-based holistic approach; integrating functional medicine, integrative medicine, and time-tested healing systems to treat the whole human, not just symptoms.

This whole-human approach connects hormone imbalances, gut dysfunction, microinflammation, cortisol dysregulation, metabolic disease, autoimmune conditions, perimenopause, and stress-driven illness to the full spectrum of who we are; body, mind, and spirit.
Each episode explores Dr. Taz’s original clinical frameworks ;The Cortisol Loop, Microinflammation, and The Invisible Load alongside conversations with leading experts, celebrities, and thought leaders including Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, Katherine Schwarzenegger, Cameron Mathison, Carol Alt, Jane Seymour, Tamsen Fadal, and Kris Carr.
Topics include hormone health, gut health, GLP-1 and metabolic therapy, thyroid dysfunction, weight loss, inflammation, autoimmune disease, mental and emotional wellness, energetic health, and the future of holistic medicine.
This is the show where science and spirit converge- driving health, happiness, relationships, and family ecosystems.
