The Lifestyle Herbalists Podcast--A healthy dose of happiness
Welcome to The Lifestyle Herbalist Podcast.
We are Dabney Vaccaro, a dental hygienist, herbalist, and wellness coach, and Sabrina Cooper, a dental hygienist, herbalist, mindful eating coach. We are so glad you're here.
For years, we've have worked with people who were struggling with things like fatigue, poor sleep, digestive issues, weight challenges, chronic stress, and oral health concerns. What we have learned is that these issues rarely exist in isolation. The body is always communicating with us, and often the mouth is one of the first places those messages show up.
That's why this podcast exists.
Here, we'll explore the fascinating connections between oral health, mineral balance, herbal medicine, nutrition, and whole-body wellness. We'll talk about how everyday habits influence our health, how herbs can support the body's natural healing processes, and why addressing root causes often leads to better outcomes than simply chasing symptoms.
Our goal isn't to give you all the answers. It's to help you ask better questions, become more connected to your body, and discover practical tools that support your health in a sustainable way.
Whether you're a health professional, an herbal enthusiast, or someone simply looking to feel better, you're welcome here.

What do you know about leaky gut?
In this podcast, we take a deep dive into leaky gut syndrome. Leaky gut refers to increased intestinal permeability, allowing harmful substances to pass through the gut lining into the bloodstream. This condition can lead to various health issues, including digestive problems, inflammation, autoimmune reactions, and compromised immune function.
Proper elimination is crucial for maintaining gut health. It helps remove toxins, waste, and harmful substances from the body, preventing them from impacting the gut lining and overall health negatively.
Herbs can play a vital role in supporting digestion and elimination. Some herbs aid digestion by stimulating digestive juices, soothing the gut lining, and reducing inflammation.
Learn how herbs when combined with a balanced diet and lifestyle changes may effectively support digestive health and promote proper elimination, contributing to overall well-being. However, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional before incorporating new herbs or supplements, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications.
