A US Division One Basketball player and trainer to top athletes survives a devastating car crash. But she is left with a Traumatic Brain Injury. Ten long years she suffered, despite trying every health modality she could find. What was the needle mover in her recovery? It was free and available all along from Mother Nature – heliotherapy. She just needed to embrace sunlight!
Meet Heathar Shepard – the original creator of The Sunlight Rx. Rx = prescription. She is one of the brilliant teachers at the Institute of Applied Quantum Biology. But that is just the tip of the iceberg of what she does. She is a Classical Homeopath and also has a certification course where she trains professionals to become classical homeopaths. I just graduated her 18 month practitioner training this year. Simply put – it was life changing. Heathar instilled not only the principles of classical homeopathy but primal, ancestral, quantum and common-sense wisdom in approaching dis-ease. I am excited and honored to join her team of homeopathic consultants. But back to Heathar – her passion for Homeopathy stems from her health journey as well – it too was another key piece in furthering her healing after she discovered The Sunlight Rx.
This week on the Quantum Healthy podcast my cohost Andeea and I visit with Heathar and dive deep into her healing journey and The Sunlight Rx. I have followed her podcast faithfully for a few years now and also went to her website and bought The Sunlight Rx even though she had personally trained us on course. I could not get enough of the knowledge/science behind it and how to embrace a sunlight practice safely. This, despite the current conflicting guidance (misinformation?) to almost fully block ourselves from the sun coming from conventional dermatology.
On top of all this, Heathar is also a farmer! You can check out her Eat Heal Farm Substack here as she and her wife write amazing blogs about the farm. I had the delight last summer to visit the farm as part of our Homeopathy course. She also teaches Ancestral Health Certification. You can also check out Heathar’s podcast The Primal Pioneer where she dives deep on every topic you can think of!
Keep reading for the links & timestamps for the brand new episode!
If you are interested in going deeper in this subject, I have a workshop created called The Sunlight Protocol that is initially based off Heathar’s The Sunlight Rx. To purchase it, reach out to me HERE. I also integrate this into my Quantum Health personalized coaching. Depending on what package you choose, you may get my workshop as a bonus.
A Sunlight Ebook is possibly in the works too. Andeea and I are drafting a series on these key subjects as we learn so much interviewing all these experts and combining their knowledge with our own research helping to simplify its application for our clients.
Otherwise, you can find everything you need on my website, laurakissmannwellness.com. The redesign is almost finished!
