Today I continue my soft tiptoe into podcast land with belly-health and body-love expert Allison Post.

Allison is author of The Gut Wellness Guide: The Power of Breath, Touch, and Awareness to Reduce Stress, Aid Digestion, and Reclaim Whole-Body Health.

In 2019 our mutual publisher, North Atlantic Books, arranged an author conversation between Allison and me to celebrate the publication of my book, Tap, Taste, Heal.

I reached out to Allison recently to catch up on what’s changed in our world in the five years since we met.

In sharing her “belly autobiography” Allison tells of how, in the early 1970s, she became an unwitting casualty in a malfeasant medical experiment that cost her and over 300,000 U.S. women their fertility.

Her journey of recovering from that devastation led her to become a healer of last resort for other medical guinea pigs who have been consumed and tossed out of the mainstream health-care system.

Our talk segued into the health challenges many are facing today in the wake of the most recent global medical experiment launched on all of us in the past several years.

Allison’s wisdom, as relevant then as it is now, can be summed up in three words:

Ask. Listen. Love.
