Herbs, Hustle & Healing: The Real Truth About Natural Wellness with Rachelle Robinett | EP 505

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 19:00:05 +0000

Herbalism isn't the woo-woo, kitchen-herb world most people assume it is. Registered herbalist and author Rachelle Robinett, RH (AHG) unpacks what herbalism actually encompasses — and why it might be exactly what you've been looking for without knowing it. She covers the real difference between adaptogens and herbs (they're not the same thing), which plants support metabolism and blood sugar, and why the liver is one of the most overlooked players in your hormone and weight story.

Key Discussion Points:

The reason "adaptogens" became a marketing buzzword and what they actually are
Why herbalism is far broader than plants as medicine and what that means for your health
The herb Rachelle calls her top three that most people have never considered for daily use
What the wellness industry gets wrong about natural health, and why it matters to you
The connection between liver function, hormone balance, and body composition that nobody talks about
