Functional Medicine for Veterans, Caregivers And First Responders

Functional medicine holds the answers veterans, first responders, blue-collar folks, and caregivers are searching for, but the conventional system keeps running out of time to give them. This podcast strips away the noise around nervous system regulation, TBI recovery, and caregiver burnout and replaces it with an exact road map from the world's best experts. If you've spent years serving, caregiving, or working in conditions most people can't handle and your health is now paying the price, you just found the right show. Host Antoinette Berrafato is a TBI survivor, former Army Air Assault Medic, and The Wellness Warrior — the New Normal Big Life podcast host who used nature therapy (archery and kayaking) to recover from physical limitations, finding passion, purpose, and people as a recipe for mental health.

Reset Your Nervous System Through Foraging

Nervous system regulation doesn’t start in a pharmacy — it starts on the ground beneath your feet. Modern medicine treats dysregulation with prescriptions, but foraging and food as medicine have held the answer for thousands of years, and this episode takes you back to your roots. Literally. Host Antoinette Berrafato — Army Medic, sponsored adventure athlete, and a believer in natural health solutions takes you on a foraging walk that’s equal parts science and survival skill. You’ll learn why the act of foraging itself is one of the most powerful nervous system resets your body can experience, plus which wild edibles changed how she thinks about healing.
