The Wellness Restoration Project: Recent Episodes
Shelley Swapp
An Ancient Chinese Proverb wisely states that "When Sleeping Women Wake, Mountains Move" Welcome to the podcast that opens eyes and moves mountains that stand in the way of creating wellness by asking the question:
"HOW ARE YOU WELL?"
Interviews, discussions and resources around both ancient and modern practices, research and more to help YOU build your own powerful network and practices for wellness.
Wondering how I became such a great resource? I've been where you are: sick, worried and not getting positive results from western drugs for myself or my children. Eventually I was introduced to the world of whole foods and medicinal herbs and things finally began to change. I wanted to know HOW and WHY and so I began a formal study of herbal medicine and traditional ancestral diets that has taken me on over a decade of intense learning and training, meeting some amazing people along the way.
Now I help women heal so they can lift others 🌱 Using Herbs, Nutrition 🌿& Science 🧬 and introducing you to other amazing people doing the work in this project of creating wellness.
LET'S DO THIS!

What if the reason you’re tired isn’t motivation…
or age…
or willpower…
…but your cells trying to protect you?
In this episode, we go deeper into the inner world of your mitochondria — the tiny “suns” inside your cells that produce nearly all your energy. And more importantly, we explore the four antioxidant repair systems that determine how well you recover from stress, aging, illness, exercise, concussion, perimenopause, and everyday life:
✨ SOD2 (superoxide dismutase) – your spark catcher
✨ Catalase – your cellular smoke-ventilation system
✨ Glutathione – your master repair crew
✨ NRF2 – your genetic “repair code” activator
You’ll learn how these systems work, why they matter for energy and metabolism, and how your genes influence their efficiency. And you’ll learn the surprisingly simple daily nutrients, foods, and habits that can radically strengthen this entire antioxidant canopy.
BIG NEWS
For the first time all year, two of the DNA companies I partner with are offering Thanksgiving-week pricing on their nutrigenomics panels. These tests help you understand your antioxidant pathways, methylation, detox, hormones, and metabolism on a deeper level.

Episode 4 — Starlight Inside, The Mitochondria Episode
Show Notes / Description
In today’s episode, we zoom inward—into the living universe inside your cells—to explore how your mitochondria (your body’s tiny suns) create the energy that fuels everything you do… and what happens when life burns too hot for too long.
We talk about the ancient origins of your mitochondria, why their DNA is passed almost entirely through your maternal line, and how your mother’s light and your father’s genetic architecture work together to shape your vitality, resilience, and metabolism.
Then we step into the “forest canopy” around your mitochondria—your antioxidant and repair systems—including superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, and the master regulator NRF2.
You’ll learn:
✨ Why stress, infections, chronic busyness, poor sleep, toxins, and nutritional deficiencies can overwhelm your antioxidant canopy
✨ How your body actually protects you by dimming energy (instead of failing)
✨ Why some people rebound quickly and others crash harder
✨ And how daily nourishment rebuilds your internal ecosystem
We also meet “Anna,” a high-performing woman who didn’t realize her exhaustion was a sign of her body protecting her—not betraying her.
Her story will help you understand why energy depletion often isn’t about willpower, but about biology.
Finally, I’ll share a deeply personal story from my herbal medicine training—a free clinic, a big pot of kitchari, and the moment I learned how profoundly simple nourishment can shift the nervous system.
This episode is for you if:
🌱 You’re starting to feel your light dim
🌱 You sense your resilience isn’t what it used to be
🌱 You want to understand your energy, metabolism, and stress response through a genetic + functional lens
🌱 You’re curious how food, nature, and daily rhythm affect cellular repair
🌱 You want to prevent depletion instead of recover from it
You’ll walk away with:
✔ A clearer picture of how your mitochondria create (and protect) your energy
✔ The real role of antioxidants like SOD, catalase, and glutathione
✔ What activates NRF2—and why it matters
✔ Small, doable steps to support your energy even in the middle of a storm
✔ A renewed sense of compassion for your body’s brilliance and design
This isn’t prescriptive.
It’s perspective.
A new way of seeing your energy, your biology, and yourself.
In the next episode, we’ll go deeper into those inner repair mechanisms—Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, NRF2, and Glutathione—and how your genes shape your efficiency in each pathway.

Episode Description
What if detox wasn’t about deprivation, but about bringing your body back into flow?
In this episode, Shelley Swapp blends Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy with cutting-edge nutrigenomics to reveal how your body’s natural detox pathways influence hormones, metabolism, and energy. You’ll learn why restoring gentle flow—rather than forcing a cleanse—is the key to long-term balance.
Shelley explains how genes like NRF2, GSTM1, GSTT1, GCLM, and COMT shape your ability to clear hormones and toxins, and how everyday foods, herbs, and joyful practices can switch those genes on again. From the “savings-account” power of glutathione to the hormone-balancing effects of sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts, this episode turns complex biochemistry into everyday wisdom.
“Your genes may show where the river narrows, but your lifestyle is the water itself—bringing life back into those channels, one small, consistent ripple at a time.”
- 🌿 Why true detox is about restoring flow, not restriction
- 🧬 How glutathione works as the body’s “savings account” for resilience
- 🥦 How chopping or chewing cruciferous veggies creates sulforaphane—the compound that flips on the NRF2 pathway
- 🔁 Why sluggish detox can stall hormone balance, thyroid function, and weight loss
- 💃 How movement, meditation, and joy lower cortisol and inflammation so the body feels safe to release weight
- Detox begins inside the cell—glutathione clears the waste so the liver and gut can take it out.
- Missing or slower GST genes don’t doom you; they simply mean nutrition and movement matter even more.
- Activating NRF2 through cruciferous vegetables, herbs, and exercise keeps hormone clearance steady and metabolism responsive.
- Joy and creativity are biochemical resets—down-regulating stress genes and up-regulating repair.
- Glutathione • NRF2 • Sulforaphane • COMT • IL-6 • Broccoli Sprouts • Cruciferous Vegetables
- TCM “river” analogy for detox and flow
- Nutrigenomics Insights Session with Shelley Swapp
- Bryan et al., Molecular Neuropsychiatry, 2018 — Broccoli-sprout supplementation increased blood + brain glutathione (PMC5981770)
- Egner et al., Cancer Prevention Research, 2014 — Broccoli-sprout beverage enhanced pollutant detox (PMID 24913818)
- Zhang et al., Nutrients, 2025 — Sulforaphane activates NRF2 and antioxidant enzymes (MDPI 17(8):1353)
- Kaliman et al., Psychoneuroendocrinology, 2014 — Meditation down-regulated NF-κB inflammatory genes
- Understand how your detox genes influence hormones and weight
- Trade “cleansing” for gentle, daily restoration
- Learn how food, herbs, and joy can literally switch on resilience
🌿 Work with Shelley: Link to Nutrigenomics Insights Session
Why do some diets or wellness plans work beautifully for one person and leave another feeling worse?
In this episode, Shelley Swapp shares how nutrigenomics — the study of how nutrition influences the way your genes express — can completely change the way you understand your health story. She takes you inside her work interpreting DNA results for women every day and the emotional moments that unfold when they finally see themselves in their genetics.
From laughter to tears to newfound compassion, Shelley shows how genetic insights can turn frustration into clarity — and help you design a plan that truly fits you.
In this episode, Shelley explores:
- Why your DNA holds clues to your unique nutrition and stress needs
- The difference between a “fast” and “slow” COMT gene and how that shapes your stress response
- How genetic patterns can influence fertility, mood, and hormone balance
- Why recognizing your biology can replace guilt and comparison with empowerment
- The real goal of nutrigenomics: turning information into alignment, not restriction
Listen if you’re ready to:
- Understand your body’s responses with compassion, not judgment
- See yourself as a whole, unique system — not a problem to fix
- Start working with your genes instead of against them
Mentioned in this episode:
- COMT gene and stress recovery
- Methylation pathways (folate, B-12, magnesium)
- Glutathione and antioxidant support
- Nutrigenomics Insights Session — learn more at https://shelleyswapp.com or schedule a consultation here.
After an extended break, Shelley Swapp returns to The Wellness Restoration Project with a fresh focus and an exciting new direction.
In this energizing kickoff episode, Shelley shares why she’s relaunching the show to explore nutrigenomics — the rapidly growing science that reveals how the foods we eat and the nutrients we absorb influence the way our genes express.
She reflects on decades of shifting diet trends — from low-fat and Atkins to today’s high-protein craze — and explains why one-size-fits-all nutrition has failed so many of us. You’ll hear a powerful story from Shelley’s time launching the national Diabetes Prevention Program and how it led her to question conventional approaches to women’s health.
This episode will leave you hopeful, curious, and ready to rethink what it means to eat for your body instead of against it.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What nutrigenomics is — and why it’s changing the future of personalized nutrition.
- Why some diets seem to “work” for one person and not another.
- How stress, hormones, and individuality shape your results.
- The difference between following rules and building alignment with your biology.
Tune in if you’re ready to:
- Move past generic health advice.
- Understand your unique genetic blueprint.
- Begin your own wellness restoration — from restriction to alignment.

Most of us have spent our lives learning how to suppress our symptoms
- Have a headache? Take some tylenol
- Cramps? Here's some Midol.
- Constipated? Here's a laxative
- Heartburn? Take a tums
- Tired? Grab some caffeine
As we age that strategy goes into overdrive:
While I absolutely recognize that we are SO lucky to live in a day and age when we do have so many resources available to us - the problem is we're not actually doing anything to figure out what is causing our symptoms. We're just stomping them down and hoping that will do the trick.
Let's talk abouthow we stop that pattern and start listening to what our bodies are trying to tell us.

Today we welcome back Dr Rashmi Schramm. It's a part 2 to our original episode on the science behind meditation but this time we get to go much deeper.
The power of NSDR (Non Sleep Deep Rest) or Yoga Nidra comes in the forms of self compassion, clarity and recognizing that we can choose to respond in healthy ways to our stressed out minds and bodies by giving ourselves time to respond instead of react.
Giving ourselves that extra breath and opening up to possibilities is part of making the changes that help us find more wellness, energy and peace.
Dr. Schramm offers a beautiful meditation for us at the end of this episode that you can cue up and practice again and again.
Her next 6 week program Rewire Your Mind starts August 21st

Welcome to season 3 - a bit of a reintroduction episode for those new to the Wellness Restoration Project and my reason for creating this space full of resources.
I hope you will join me in redefining what that health care is, looking for underlying imbalances instead of ways to suppress symptoms, and working to restore those imbalances through food, herbs, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle changes. That healthcare model requires kindness on its journey, but it is wrapped in possibilities.

Leslie Abraham is a French osteopath DO who specializes in pregnancy, postpartum and newborn care, with over 10 years of international experience, a published author, a prenatal and postpartum certified personal trainer, a certified health coach, and the founder of Bonjour Baby.
Since 2008, Leslie has been working in the pre and postnatal field. Her passion for pregnancy and postpartum began when she was still studying at the french Superior Institute of Osteopathy in Aix en Provence, one of the best Osteopathic schools in Europe. At this time, she spent countless hours researching, testing and applying different techniques, methods and exercises. Once graduated, she started to take care of women to facilitate their birth experience and help them recovering faster, with less pain and struggle.
Fast forward to a few years later, she moved to the US in 2016. This is when it struck her. The differences between prenatal and postnatal care in Europe and the US are huge. France is one of the leading countries for birth prep and postnatal recovery, the US is far behind.
Leslie joins me for a fantastic conversation on the types of care that really help women be put back in the center of their story and allow both mom and baby to thrive after childbirth.
Even if your last baby was years ago, the principles are the same and are important for women of all ages. So if childbirth has been part of your story, I hope you'll listen and learn from this insightful conversation.

The Wellness Restoration Project is BACK and I'm headed into big new territory.
First and foremost, we're going to talk straight about WEIGHT.
How the paradigm we've been operating under of energy in =energy out is tragically flawed and how intimately connected our weight is with our hormones.
This is just the beginning. There is SO much more I am excited to teach you.
Here's a few of the articles I reference:

How is your sleep?
Do you fall asleep easily?
Do you stay asleep all night?
Do you feel rested when you wake in the morning?
Do you sleep peacefully? (bad or vivid dreaming, restless leg, night sweats?)
Do you get 7-9 hours of sleep a night?
If you answered NO to any of the above questions then even if your not experiencing any emotional or external stressors - sleep deprivation creates all sorts of havoc
On your hormones
your insulin levels
your body's ability to repair and restore itself
your blood pressure
your energy
your concentration
even how quickly you age!
Getting a regularly good nights sleep really helps everything.
And this episode is all about some great herbs that can help.

I love this bright, cheery little flower – coming to full bloom at the height of the summer when days are the longest. It manages to bloom just in time to capture the power of long sunlit days in its leaves and flowers which we then get to infuse into extracts, powders and oils to help support depression, the nervous system and so much more.
I also love how it helps so many people really feel better without the side effects. If certain people are having a particularly rough day I will leave a bottle on the counter or make a batch of tea as a subtle hint. It's why we lovingly refer to it as the "Stop being a jerk herb".

You've probably heard the old adage - You are what you Eat. But the real truth is that you are what you DIGEST.
So how is your digestion?
No seriously!
If you are struggling with digestive symptoms, even if your diet is top notch, squeaky clean and on point, weak digestion means you aren't getting a lot of the benefits from the food you are eating.
Today's episode is a quick and helpful primer on key foods, nutrients and of course, herbs that make a BIG difference!

There's an old saying that when "mama ain't happy, nobody is happy".. but I have often found the reverse to be even more true. When parenting includes all the normal ups and downs AND you throw in the challenges that come with mental health issues for anyone in the family, things can get tricky fast.
Cheryl Cardall is a coach and advocate for teens with mental health challenges and their mom's. Along with sharing some of her best resources, Shelley & Cheryl also explore how taking care of yourself as a parent is one of the best ways you can show up and be a powerful force for good for those you care for.

Once my period returned, it never stopped. I became a zombie of exhaustion and anemia. The solution my Dr presented was a hysterectomy. He assured me they would leave my ovaries intact and I would be fine.
I was 31
By 32 I was in full blown peri-menopause.
The crazy thing is that my experience is not that extraordinary. I see women every week who are in the same run down, depleted state I was in and are suffering from heavy periods, night sweats, exhaustion and so much more and have no idea what to do.
We as a society are just barely beginning to talk about women’s health in serious and helpful ways. But not everyone is on board yet.
I’ve spent the last decade learning new ways to look at the body and even though we still have a lot to learn, the herbal traditions have a lot of answers.

Paul Van Bloem's work is best described as being engaged in the effort of helping good people become great people.
What exactly does that mean? A giant social media reach? A better physique? Freedom from financial cares? Not for Paul He sees greatness as so much deeper and so much higher than those simple metrics.
Its about sovereignty, integrity and compassion that allows us to BECOME the best versions of ourselves. And greatness comes when we can take all that and offer those tools to others seeking for the same thing within our reach. We cover a lot of ground here, but there was a lot of ground to cover! I hope you'll join me on this wonderful journey.

One of the ways I recognize true principles is when they show up over and over again in different ways. Today, we're talking about ways we open pathways: in the physical body we have several pathways, also referred to as detoxification pathways that we need to be open in order to reduce pain, inflammation and clear out toxins. We also need them to be open in order to receive nourishment.
Well guess what? That same principle is true in other facets of our lives too. My guest today, Darla Trendler of Spiritually Minded Women is back and we dive into her little known secret about how and when she best communicates with the God she loves and is inspired by. It's also what helped her to begin to find her purpose and continues to help her to move the mountains in her life.

"The pain of being afraid of touching our pain is so much worse than actually getting our pain out and working through it" Bobbi Wynn is one of the kindest, wisest souls I've had the honor of learning from. She KNOWS the fear of touching those painful things and the power and peace that comes from walking through the other side. She teaches us how she learned to embrace and forgive her painful childhood, her children's trauma and her own pain and how she has learned the tools to not only allow her to begin to heal, but to hold space for others to embrace theirs as well.
After listening to this episode I hope you feel like you got a much needed pep talk, a huge hug and permission to be real from a wise friend.
Bobbi and I are joining forces on a new project to help even more women gain the tools to be well and I am so excited to tell you about it. Jump on our social media or email lists if you want to know more.

There’s a Chinese proverb that “If we don't change the direction we're going, we're likely to end up where we are headed.”
So where are you headed? Running full steam, on empty, hardly sleeping, maybe eating a bit too much junk or just not enough food in general… its not a huge mystery when we end up run down, exhausted, and struggling to get through the day.
So lets talk a little more about what it looks like to really replenish our systems.
You and I both know we don’t have control over what life throws at us - I can tell you that from experience that in just one minute, one phone call, one day - everything can change. Our work of caring for the body and spirit and mind isn’t just so we can have a happy day, its so when those hard things come, we have the strength of body and mind to show up for them, get through them and then the understanding and compassion to lean in and do the work of replenishing again and again and again.

If there’s only one thing I could change in healthcare it would be what I want to teach you about today. The concept of deep replenishment
Its an amazingly foreign concept in our modern culture - we’ve somehow come to the idea that or bodies are dirty and need to be detoxed regularly. While its true that detoxification needs to be happening regularly, it actually happens best when our bodies are deeply nourished.

So you like the idea of using more natural ways to heal.. and maybe you’ve tried a few things? Some of them stick and some, eh... not so much.
That’s probably because you've been using herbs the same way you use western medicine: take this herb for that symptom. However, in order to utilize herbal medicine effectively we have to be willing to look at the body through a completely different lens. Let me show you how!

Over the final years of my grandfather's life, he enrolled in as many research studies as he could. He had decided that even if he couldn’t regain his health, he could participate in research to help stop the awful disease he was suffering with, from robbing his children and grandchildren of their health. I had no idea the results from that research would lead me to a job and then on to the decision to pursue a formal education in herbs, nutrition and more. Check out these amazing maps of the incidence of diabetes & obesity from 1994, just before my grandfather died, until 2015 when I started working with the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). https://youtu.be/WoxBJ2AWIcg

Maybe you or someone you love is battling health challenges that no one seems to have answers for. Maybe you hear “its all in your head” or “its just stress” and all you’ve been offered is an anti-depressant and you’re wondering if life is always going to be this? You battle between resigning to feeling like this and that nagging feeling that says there has to be more out there.
Oh sweet friend, if this is your story I am so glad you are here. There IS more out there, in fact there are lots and lots of good options. And becoming the curator of your own personal wellness team is one of the most beautiful and effective ways to approach wellness.
