Rewilded Wellness
REWILDED Wellness is a podcast about understanding your body in context—and rebuilding the conditions that allow it to become more resilient.
Hosted by functional nutritional therapy practitioner Lydia Joy, the show explores chronic health through a rewilded lens: one that recognizes that human biology cannot be separated from the environment, rhythms, nourishment, relationships, movement, stressors and lived experiences continually shaping it.
We have access to more health information than ever before. We can use functional testing to look at our minerals, microbiome and bloodwork; explore our genetics and hormones; track symptoms; research every pathway; and accumulate increasingly complicated protocols.
But more information doesn't always create better health.
REWILDED Wellness asks a different set of questions:
What is your body doing—and why might it make sense in the context of what you've lived? What conditions does it need now? And how do we rebuild greater capacity without turning your entire life into another health protocol?
Through personal stories, client observations, functional nutrition and explorations of physiology, Lydia brings together topics including gut health and the microbiome, HTMA and mineral balancing, chronic health patterns, perimenopause and women's health, nervous system function, nourishment, movement, environmental health and our relationship with the natural world.
Functional testing and targeted interventions can absolutely have a place here. But they aren't the destination.
The goal is to understand patterns rather than chase individual symptoms, work with the body rather than continually override it, and gradually rebuild the conditions that support greater resilience.
Because rewilding your health isn't about returning to some imaginary perfect past.
It's about remembering that your body is part of nature—and learning how to work with it again.

In this episode, I talk about how antibiotics have never been tested safe for the human microbiome. They are also one of the most toxic classes of drugs and doctors hand them out like candy.
It's time to be HONEST about this excess overuse of antibiotics, so we can make educated decisions and create a better path to support our health.
I'm very passionate about this after seeing hundreds of clients health harmed in the long run in part by excess use of antibiotics over the course of their lives.
We can do better. In fact, we must.
I also shared two resources; one is a book called Beyond Antibiotics if you are a nerd like me and like to read the research/studies. The other is a functional test I've been working with this past year called; BiomeFX ('the gold standard' for microbiome health). I've also included the main probiotics I work with to prevent and repair when antibiotics have been or are being used.
*by the way, I recommend listening to my podcast at 1.5x speed (since I talk *painfully* slow)
