Welcome to The Lifestyle Herbalist Podcast . We are Dabney Vaccaro, a dental hygienist, herbalist, and wellness coach, and Sabrina Cooper, a dental hygienist, herbalist, mindful eating coach. We are so glad you're here. For years, we've have worked with people who were struggling with things like fatigue, poor sleep, digestive issues, weight challenges, chronic stress, and oral health concerns. What we have learned is that these issues rarely exist in isolation. The body is always communicating with us, and often the mouth is one of the first places those messages show up. That's why this podcast exists. Here, we'll explore the fascinating connections between oral health, mineral balance, herbal medicine, nutrition, and whole-body wellness. We'll talk about how everyday habits influence our health, how herbs can support the body's natural healing processes, and why addressing root causes often leads to better outcomes than simply chasing symptoms. Our goal isn't to give you all the answers. It's to help you ask better questions, become more connected to your body, and discover practical tools that support your health in a sustainable way. Whether you're a health professional, an herbal enthusiast, or someone simply looking to feel better, you're welcome here. Reach Dabney at www.herbalhygeinist.com and Sabrina at www.nurishwell.com

The Blood Sugar Roller Coaster: Finding Steadier Energy Throughout Your Day Do you ever feel energized after eating, only to crash a few hours later—leaving you tired, irritable, unfocused, and craving something sweet? In this episode, we explore how blood sugar affects your energy, appetite, mood, sleep, and overall well-being. Discover simple ways to create more balanced meals, pair carbohydrates with protein and fibre, move after eating, and support your body through better sleep and stress management. This isn’t about fearing food or striving for perfection—it’s about making small, compassionate choices that help you step off the blood sugar roller coaster and enjoy steadier energy throughout your day.

When you think about your immune system, your mouth may not be the first place that comes to mind. Yet it is one of the body’s busiest protective environments, continually interacting with food, air and microorganisms. In this episode, Dabney explores how oral tissues, saliva and the oral microbiome participate in immune defense. She also explains how nutrition, sleep, stress, hydration and breathing patterns can influence the environment of the mouth. You’ll learn where supportive herbs such as calendula, chamomile and marshmallow may fit—and why herbs should complement, rather than replace, appropriate oral care and professional treatment. The mouth cannot diagnose everything happening within the body, but it can offer information worth noticing. Whole-person wellness does not begin somewhere beyond the mouth. The mouth is already part of the whole.

Knowing what supports our health does not always mean we do it consistently. In this personal episode, Dabney shares why she decided to rejoin the gym and how creating structure and accountability became part of her recommitment to herself. She explores the difference between motivation and commitment, why discipline is not punishment, and how identifying the real barrier can help us build behaviors that last. She also connects her experience to oral health, where patients often know what to do but need realistic tools, supportive routines and an environment that makes daily care easier. This episode invites you to choose one health behavior, give it a specific time and place, and create a minimum version you can complete—even on a difficult day.

In this episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes of a dental hygiene appointment to explain what we’re looking for, why we’re looking for it, and what those findings can tell us about your health. We walk you through the appointment from beginning to end—from reviewing your health history and examining the mouth to periodontal measurements and the different types of dental X-rays we may recommend, including bitewings, periapical images, a panoramic X-ray, and a full-mouth series. We also explore how dental diagnostics are evolving beyond what we can see on an X-ray. Salivary testing and other emerging tools can give us additional information about the oral environment and help us better understand a patient’s individual risks and patterns. Our goal is not simply to look for cavities or scrape teeth. It’s to gather the pieces of the puzzle so we can recognize changes earlier, ask better questions, and help you understand what your mouth may be telling us. If you’ve ever wondered what your dental hygienist is actually looking for during your appointment—or why we recommend certain tests—this episode is for you.

There’s something special about stepping into your garden and coming back with a basket overflowing with food you’ve grown yourself. In this episode of The Lifestyle Herbalists: A Healthy Dose of Happiness, we head from garden to table to explore the incredible nourishment found in fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, garlic, peppers, beans, lettuce and kale. We’ll uncover some surprising “Did You Know?” nutrition facts, simple ways to enjoy and preserve an abundant harvest, and why eating a variety of colourful plants can be so beneficial. But this episode is about more than what’s on our plate—it’s about the joy of getting our hands in the soil, slowing down, connecting with nature and appreciating where our food comes from. And when the garden gives us more than we need, there’s perhaps no greater reward than sharing the fruits of our labour with friends, neighbours and our community. Because sometimes the most nourishing thing we grow is connection.

What if struggles with learning, attention, memory, or processing aren’t simply something a person has to accept? In this episode, we talk with Sandy Zamalis, a Board Certified Cognitive Specialist and owner of LearningRx Staunton and Harrisonburg. Sandy explains how cognitive training can strengthen the foundational skills the brain uses to learn, including attention, memory, processing speed, reasoning, and auditory and visual processing. Although Sandy primarily works with children who need additional support to succeed in school, cognitive training isn’t only for young learners. She also works with adults experiencing cognitive changes or recovering from events such as a stroke, helping them strengthen skills and regain function. Our conversation offers an encouraging look at brain health, neuroplasticity, and the brain’s remarkable capacity to adapt and grow throughout life.

A single lyric stopped me in my tracks: "In your body you will live. In your body you will die." It reminded me of something we rarely talk about. Our body is the one home we'll never move out of. While we can't control every diagnosis or every circumstance, we can influence the environment we create within our body each day. In this episode, I share why the small choices we make with food, movement, sleep, mindset, herbs, and oral health matter more than perfection—and how they quietly shape the quality of the years ahead.

Have you ever snapped at someone and immediately wondered, Where did that come from? In this episode, Dabney and Sabrina sit down with Rachel Cline to explore the powerful connection between stress, emotional regulation, and the "short fuse" so many of us experience in today's fast-paced world. Rachel shares why creating intentional pauses throughout the day isn't a sign of weakness—it's one of the most powerful tools we have for protecting our relationships, our health, and our peace of mind. Together, we discuss what happens in the brain and body when we stay in a constant state of overwhelm, why our patience seems to disappear, and how small moments of stillness can completely change the way we respond to life's challenges. Whether you're juggling work, family, caregiving, or simply feeling stretched too thin, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover the power that exists in the pause. In this episode, you'll learn: Why we develop a "short fuse" under chronic stress. How intentional pauses help regulate the nervous system. Practical ways to respond instead of react. Simple strategies to cultivate more patience, peace, and resilience in everyday life.

What if one of the most powerful tools for improving your energy, focus, mood, and overall health was as simple as a glass of water? In this episode of The Lifestyle Herbalists: A Healthy Dose of Happiness, we explore the incredible connection between hydration and the brain, nervous system, digestion, and oral health. Learn how water fuels your neurons, why electrolytes matter, and discover simple hydration tips and cooling herbs to help you feel your best—one sip at a time.
What if balancing your hormones had less to do with chasing the latest supplement or quick fix—and more to do with supporting your body as a whole? In this episode, I'm joined by Whitney, founder of Four Seasons Harmony, who shares her deeply personal healing journey and how it led her to a career in clinical herbal medicine and Ayurveda. Her own health challenges became the catalyst for helping women around the world restore balance, vitality, and resilience through a root-cause approach. Together, we explore the five "secrets" to hormonal health—but they may not be what you're expecting. Instead of focusing solely on hormones, Whitney explains why the foundations of health—nourishment, stress resilience, digestion, sleep, and daily rhythms—play a far greater role in helping women feel like themselves again. If you've been struggling with fatigue, mood changes, irregular cycles, perimenopause, menopause, or simply feel like your body is asking for something different, this conversation is filled with practical wisdom and gentle encouragement. In this episode, you'll discover: Why hormone balance begins with supporting the whole body. How chronic stress can quietly disrupt every body system. The surprising role digestion and nourishment play in hormonal health. Simple lifestyle shifts that can make a meaningful difference. How herbs and Ayurveda can beautifully complement modern wellness practices. This conversation is a refreshing reminder that healing isn't about perfection—it's about creating the conditions for your body to do what it was designed to do.

Do you wake up feeling great, only to end the day wondering why your stomach suddenly feels tight, uncomfortable, or bloated—even though you're eating healthy? In this solo episode of The Lifestyle Herbalists, Dabney shares her own recent experience with bloating and how becoming curious instead of frustrated helped her uncover important clues about her health. From noticing how gluten and even carbonated water affected her body to exploring the powerful connection between stress, digestion, saliva, and oral health, this conversation is all about learning to listen to your body's wisdom. You'll discover why bloating isn't always about what you're eating—it may also be about how you're eating, how well you're digesting, and what your body has been trying to communicate all along.

In this episode of The Lifestyle Herbalists, we sit down with Scotti, founder of Slow Living Solutions and an Applied Organizational Psychologist dedicated to supporting Fire and EMS professionals.

Bad breath is something most of us worry about—but rarely talk about openly. In this episode, we explore halitosis in a completely different way, moving beyond mints and mouthwash to uncover what bad breath may actually be telling us about oral and overall health. We’ll discuss how to navigate the uncomfortable but important conversation of telling someone they have bad breath with kindness and respect. Then we dive into the most common causes, including the oral microbiome, gum health, tongue coating, dry mouth, and the often-overlooked role of mouth breathing—especially during sleep. We also explore how digestion and gut function can sometimes contribute to breath changes, and what that connection really means (and what it doesn’t). Finally, we look at supportive herbs and simple daily practices that can help improve breath by addressing root causes rather than masking symptoms. This episode is for anyone who wants to better understand persistent bad breath, support their oral health more naturally, or have more confidence navigating a sensitive but very human topic.

In this special Memorial Day episode of The Lifestyle Herbalists Podcast, we pause to honor the people who came before us — the ancestors, caretakers, veterans, healers, and everyday people whose lives shaped our own. We carry more than genetics from those who came before us. We carry stories, traditions, resilience, nervous system patterns, recipes, wisdom, and sometimes wounds that are waiting to be healed. Together, we explore the connection between ancestral remembrance, herbalism, healing, and the ways we can create healthier generations moving forward. This episode includes a gentle guided reflection and meditation to help you slow down, reconnect, and honor the roots beneath you. So pour yourself a cup of tea, take a deep breath, and join me for a quiet moment of remembrance, gratitude, and healing. In this episode: Honoring ancestral wisdom and resilience The connection between herbalism and generational healing What we inherit — both strengths and struggles A guided meditation for remembrance and reflection Simple rituals to honor those who came before us Herbs mentioned: Rosemary, Tulsi, Rose, Mugwort, and Oat Straw Reach Dabney or learn more go to www.herbalhygienist.com Reach Sabrina at www.brewjablends.com
Parasite cleanses and colon detoxes seem to be everywhere right now—but do we really all have parasites, or are we missing the bigger picture? In this episode, I’m diving into the wellness industry’s growing obsession with cleansing, “killing,” and detoxing while exploring a more balanced perspective as an herbalist and oral health practitioner. We’ll talk about what parasites actually are, common signs of gut imbalance, why aggressive cleansing may do more harm than good, and how mineral depletion, stress, digestion, and oral health all connect to the conversation. I also share gentle herbal approaches that may help support the body and terrain without creating more chaos in the process. If you’ve ever wondered whether your symptoms are really parasites—or if your body may simply need more support and resilience—this episode is for you.

The Language of Symptoms series and today we are going to talk about Fatigue, Burnout & Why Rest Doesn’t Help. “Welcome back to The Language of Symptoms — the podcast where we stop fighting symptoms and start listening to what they’re trying to say. Because headaches aren’t always about the head. Gut symptoms aren’t always about food. And today, we’re talking about something so many are quietly carrying: Exhaustion.Not just being tired… but that deep, heavy fatigue that sleep doesn’t seem to touch. The kind where you wake up tired. Push through the day. Cancel plans. Drink the coffee. Try the supplements. Rest on the weekend… …and still don’t feel restored. What if fatigue isn’t a flaw? What if burnout isn’t weakness? What if your body isn’t failing you at all — but protecting you in the only way it knows how? Today, we’re decoding fatigue, burnout, nervous system overload, and why rest sometimes doesn’t work the way we think it should. So settle in — because this conversation may completely change how you understand energy, recovery… and yourself.” For more information on this podcast please feel free to email me at sabrina@nurishwell.com and visit my website www.brewjablends.com Also you can reach Dabney at dabney@herbalhygienist.com and visit her website www.herbalhygienist.com References and Citations for this episode.

Bloating. Food sensitivities. IBS. What if your gut symptoms aren’t actually about the food you’re eating? In this episode of The Language of Symptoms, we explore the deeper connection between your gut, nervous system, and immune response — and why digestion often breaks down when the body is under stress. You’ll learn why symptoms like bloating, reflux, and discomfort can appear even with a “perfect” diet, how your body’s stress response directly impacts digestion, and why food sensitivities are often signals of a larger imbalance — not the root cause.Through real-world examples and science-backed insights, this episode reframes gut health from restriction to understanding. If you’ve been trying to fix your gut but nothing fully works, this conversation will help you see your symptoms in a completely new way.
