Your gut may be the quiet driving force behind your energy, immunity, and emotional balance—and today’s episode brings that truth into focus.

This month’s guest is longtime ANMA exhibitor and holistic health practitioner Debbie Bailey, founder of Bumbiotics and owner of Therapeutic Body Center. With more than 26 years in natural health, Debbie shares how her work in colon hydrotherapy inspired her to create Bumbiotics, a natural probiotic suppository designed to support the microbiome directly where it’s needed. She explains why only a small percentage of oral probiotics reach the large intestine, how rectal delivery increases effectiveness, and why restoring the gut terrain allows the body’s innate intelligence to heal.

Debbie also discusses her integrated approach to wellness, supporting the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of health, and the remarkable improvements she has witnessed in clients, from children to chronically ill adults. She closes by sharing why the ANMA Convention continues to be one of her favorite communities for learning, connection, and natural health innovation.

Takeaways

• Naturopathic holiday wellness tips that support digestion, circadian rhythm, hydration, and joy.

• How the microbiome influences immune function, emotional wellbeing, and whole-body health.

• Why Bumbiotics supports the gut more directly than traditional oral probiotics.

• How practitioners can integrate Bumbiotics into personalized gut restoration plans.

• The value of connection and continued learning at the ANMA Convention.

Advancements in natural health are evolving rapidly, and one emerging field is bringing together physics, biology, and clinical practice in a way that may reshape the future of naturopathy. In this month’s episode, we explore how quantum biology is becoming an essential framework for understanding human health at the deepest level.

We are then joined by Kathleen Horstmeyer and Meredith Oke, co-founders of the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology, who offer a comprehensive introduction to quantum biology and its growing relevance in natural health practice. Their work connects emerging scientific research with practical clinical application, helping practitioners integrate light, frequency, and mitochondrial energetics into their existing modalities.

In this episode:

• A clear definition of quantum biology and its distinction from conventional biochemistry

• How recent scientific research has demonstrated quantum effects in living systems

• The role of light, circadian rhythms, environmental inputs, and mitochondrial communication in human health

• How practitioners across disciplines, naturopathy, acupuncture, massage therapy, coaching, chiropractic, and allopathic medicine, can integrate quantum biology into their work

• Real examples of how quantum biology enhances naturopathic outcomes and supports patient education

What if one subtle shift, seeing behavior through a trauma-informed lens, could improve client outcomes and reduce your burnout?

In this month’s episode of the ANMA Podcast, we’re exploring a topic that’s becoming increasingly important in naturopathic practice: trauma-informed care.

We are joined by Lisa Ramos, MS, a master of health psychology, doctoral candidate, and specialist in trauma-informed care. She is the founder of the Trauma-Informed Care Institute, where she equips professionals with the knowledge and tools to integrate trauma-informed practices into their work. Lisa is also the creator of two ANMCB-approved continuing education programs: The Global Energy Method Academy and The Trauma-Informed Care Institute.

Lisa combines her academic expertise with lived experience as a mother of eight and grandmother of seven, giving her a unique perspective on resilience, healing, and the human capacity for growth. Her passion is ensuring that individuals and organizations have the resources to provide compassionate, effective, and trauma-sensitive care.

Lisa shares how understanding trauma and stress responses can transform naturopathic care for both clients and practitioners. She also explains how her Trauma-Informed Care Institute helps naturopaths recognize behavioral patterns, prevent re-traumatization, and reduce burnout through compassionate, neuroscience-based practices.

In this episode:

What trauma-informed care means and how it fits naturally into the whole-person approach of naturopathy.

How trauma and chronic stress affect behavior, coping, and physical health.

Ways practitioners can create safer, more supportive environments—from intake forms to clinical settings.

How to recognize subtle trauma responses such as appointment avoidance, withdrawal, or incomplete answers.

Why understanding your own coping strategies as a practitioner matters to prevent compassion fatigue and burnout.

How trauma-informed care can lead to better outcomes, greater client adherence, and longer-lasting results.
