Episode Details

🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy!

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by modern wellness trends, confused by labels, or disconnected from what truly helps the body heal and thrive, this episode is for you. Mary Meyer sits down with herbalist, educator, and Cedar Bear Naturals co-founder Jhoane Robinson for a thoughtful conversation about women’s health, herbal nutrition, mineral support, gardening, and returning to nature in practical, empowering ways.

Jhoane shares the remarkable story behind Cedar Bear Naturals and the alcohol-free herbal extraction process developed by her husband Carl Robinson — a process many believed was impossible. Together, Mary and Jhoane explore how herbal remedies can support hormonal balance, digestion, stress, immune health, thyroid function, menopause, and everyday wellness without fear-based messaging or unrealistic promises.

This episode proves that wellness does not have to be complicated. From growing herbs in small pots to understanding what your body may truly need, this conversation is full of grounded encouragement and practical tools for living healthier, calmer, and more connected lives.
