  • One of the wisest people I know

    I’ve known Dr. Hondorp for many years. There are two things about this podcast that make it a good listen. 1) She is incredibly wise. Her wisdom comes from a centered place. And while she has loads of experience and scholarship, the wisdom she shares is not academic or out of touch. 2) that brings me to the second point and that is that she is so relatable. Listening feels like you’re connecting.

  • Feeling Confident & Healthy Again!

    Dr Shawn Hondorp’s podcast has been amazing for me these past few months- I’ve learned so much!

Because that’s exactly the approach Dr Shawn takes with her podcast- she presents information AND allows for your own personal exploration & curiosity to intuitively know what’s best for you. My results are ev... more
