Digestive Resilience: Herbal Allies for Gut Health & Parasites
Our relationship with digestion shapes how we absorb nutrients, regulate immunity, balance hormones, and experience overall vitality. In this class, you’ll explore the digestive system as an interconnected network deeply linked to the nervous and endocrine systems through a holistic and herbal lens.
You’ll learn how to support digestive resilience by understanding the foundational rhythms and conditions that allow the body to process food, eliminate waste, and maintain internal balance. This class invites you to see digestion as a living feedback system influenced by stress, environment, and daily rhythm.
Together we explore:
The relationship between digestion, the nervous system, and endocrine signaling
How stress, circadian rhythm, and environmental factors influence gut function and nutrient absorption
The anatomy and physiology of the digestive tract from sensory activation to elimination
The role of mucosal integrity, microbiome balance, and lymphatic flow in digestive health
Herbal allies and traditional preparations that support each organ of digestion
Common digestive imbalances, including H. pylori and intestinal parasites, and herbal approaches to support the body’s terrain
Through a blend of herbal medicine, physiological understanding, and systems-based thinking, this class offers practical tools for understanding and supporting the gut as the foundation of whole-body resilience.

About Lindsay
Lindsay’s herbal studies began in 2015 after a yoga teacher training and permaculture design course showed her the ways human biology and psychology reflect nature. She began taking as many workshops and online mini-courses as she could on aromatherapy, essential oils, natural supplements, women's health and nutrition. This journey led her to find the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, where she studied online during the global shutdown in 2020.
When the world reopened, Lindsay followed the call to Tzununá, where she has since lived and worked with Casa Curativa to facilitate herbalism courses and develop the apothecary’s production systems and product line that helps the community to heal their common ailments.
Lindsay’s teaching style is animated and engaging - blending somatics, story-telling and biological and chemical processes to help students grasp both the science and the artistry of herbalism.
