From soothing teas to immune-boosting brews, this episode is a winter wellness treasure chest.

Listeners get an exclusive behind-the-scenes moment as we celebrate submitting a ginormous new manuscript— a major project set to hit bookshelves in July 2027.

From there, it’s all about the herbs:

Peppermint & Spearmint for digestion, mocktails, and holiday calm
Ginger for warming tea blends and digestive support
Fennel & Thyme for soothing sore throats
Sage & Rosemary for memory, flavor, and festive recipes
Cinnamon for aromatic comfort and anti-inflammatory power
Echinacea for winter immune strength
Garlic — the bold, wellness-boosting staple we swear by
Shiitake Mushrooms for wintertime vitamin D and mood support

Every herb comes with real-life recipes, practical how-tos, and creative ways to incorporate plant medicine into holiday cooking, daily rituals, and family wellness.

And of course, the episode ends with a fan favorite — Heather’s iconic Fire Cider, a customizable, immune-boosting vinegar infusion beloved by the herbal community. Whether you’re new to fire cider or ready to level up your recipe, this segment gives you everything you need to brew your own powerful winter tonic.
