In this powerful episode of The Root of the Matter, Dr. Rachaele Carver sits down with two of her favorite practitioners and her very first repeat guests, Makenzie Evangelisto, functional nutritionist and founder of Harvest Wellness & Nutrition, and Katie Kitzing certified Emotion Code and Body Code practitioner from Honey Holistic Health.

Together, they dive deep into the connection between drainage, detoxification, and emotional health, revealing why true detox is about much more than supplements and green juices.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between detoxification and drainage and why both are essential for lasting wellness.
• How emotions get stored in the body and block physical healing.
• The surprising ways your nervous system health determines how well you detox.
• Why over-detoxing can backfire and how to listen when your body says “enough.”
• Real-life tools and gentle modalities such as muscle testing, castor oil packs, ionic foot baths, and body code work that support safe and effective cleansing.
• How mindset, prayer, and emotional processing can open the body’s natural pathways and help you feel grounded, lighter, and more resilient.

This conversation blends science, spirituality, and real experience to remind us that healing happens when we slow down, honor our emotions, and let the body flow.
