About the show

Welcome to my podcast, Healing with Dr Helena, where I challenge the limiting way we currently view disease, and offer a new paradigm for vibrant health and true healing. If modern medicine isn’t providing you with enough answers, and you want to come alive and thrive, rather than merely survive, this podcast is for you. It’s also for people who want to: - boost their brain to perform at their peak - avoid Alzheimer’s and other dementias - grow bolder rather than older - and live longer, stronger, healthier and happier.
