Susun Weed answers 90 minutes of herbal health questions followed by a 30 minute interview with Artist Kim Kitchen Kim Kitchen is a multidisciplinary artist working in audio and film as a result of a debilitating and transformative illness. She explores collective cultural understandings of the female body, its intersections with and presence within the natural world. This is evident through the inclusion of ritual in her work - particularly in To Re-convene // To Shoreline - which draws on her lifelong connection to the Primordial Mother, and to knowledge of her ancestral homelands of old Europe. This ongoing research and consciousness has deeply influenced her artistic practice, which has been largely tactile, focused on painting, sculpture, installation and performance. Currently, Kim engages her practice of critical inquiry of body/land relations and the self-reflexive relationship between ability and artistic production through largely multimedia approaches. With significant changes in mobility, old spaces become unknown insofar as the body must learn anew how to navigate through them. The familiar becomes unfamiliar: the body is tasked with relearning how to exist, reaching out in changed, renewed and ever-urgent ways through creativity. Kim's community activism is inclusive, celebratory, and exuberant. In contrast, her work is introspective, thoughtful, and prompts quiet reflection. Now more than ever, interdependence is fundamental for this disabled artist. Q & A topics in this episode include: Remedies for mosquitos  Goat's pipe Thyroid  Nourishing infusions

Not only were they polluting their bodies, more importantly they were polluting our planet! So, she began devouring herbal books, and creating her own natural first aid kits. This planted the seed to her never ending desire to learn about herbalism. Fortunate to learn from some of the greatest herbal educators, her thirst for herbal knowledge is never quenched. Today, Melissa's passionate about formulating stellar herbal products, teaching people to use plants as medicine in a safe and effective way, and inspiring people to take better care of the planet, by taking better care of themselves!

She moved to rural NY State (Hillsdale, Columbia County) in 1967 to open a family practice as a single mother. In 1978, at the age of 42,  a lack of wholistic viewpoints regarding healing made her choose an alternative branch in her practice. Dr. Lups believes our aim towards healing must incorporate the earth, the plant, and the human being. Restoring the balance when exposed to illness must incorporate the vitality that nature can still provide.   more COVID-19 vaccine discussionregular caller health update re: self love affirmations and building core strengthchild "picky-eaters"flourideumbilical & inguinal hernia repairherbs to help reduce blood pressuregrandparenting responsibilities
