Why The Holistically Correct Podcast Exists

In this intro episode, Alicia Hawes shares the lived experience that shaped her into a clinical herbalist and Ayurvedic health counselor—from surviving spinal meningitis as a baby, to a childhood of poverty and limited care, to a major scoliosis surgery that left decades of pain, misdiagnosis, and years on hydrocodone before getting sober and finding a better way. She explains how chronic health challenges pushed her into formal herbalism training in 2014, how she now runs a telehealth practice for people who feel dismissed by conventional care, and why this new show carries the same edge and honesty as Herbalism Uncensored—just with room for deeper dives and new guest voices. Expect real talk on women’s health, chronic pain, autoimmunity, trauma recovery, detox myths, parasites, herbs, and Ayurveda, with the first full episode dropping April 19 on “filling the gap.”
