Body-First Herbalism: Nervous System
A clinical course on the nervous system for herbalists who want to think mechanistically. Seven lessons, body first. We map the architecture, work through the physiology, and meet each herbal action where it actually lives in the system. Each lesson includes a written deep-dive, a narrated slide deck, and a clinical reference sheet. Discussion threads run alongside every lesson in the community feed.

Viral Immunology, Long COVID & Tissue Pathology
Why does a cleared infection leave behind brain fog and profound fatigue? This module covers the biological mechanisms of post-viral syndromes.
What you’ll learn:
Acute Viral Defense: Pattern recognition receptors, IRF3, and NF-κB activation.
The Off-Switch: How IRF3 pins NF-κB to stop cytokine storms (RIKA).
Brain Fog & PEM: Blood-brain barrier permeability, chronic microglial activation, and skeletal muscle mitochondrial failure.

Herb-Herb Interactions & Pharmacodynamics
What happens when herbs meet in the same cup? This module covers the pharmacodynamics of herb-herb interactions and why complex formulas behave unpredictably.
What you’ll learn:
Pharmacodynamic Vocabulary: Additivity, synergy, potentiation, and antagonism.
Potentiation Mechanisms: Multipliers like 5'-MHC, piperine, and efflux pump inhibition.
Antagonism Risks: Counteraction (ginseng + ashwagandha) and incompatibility (licorice + horsetail).

Overactive Bladder: Physiology & Botanical Targets
How do you approach an overactive bladder from a physiological perspective? Here we cover the underlying mechanisms and botanical targets.
What you’ll learn:
Pathogenesis: The urothelium, detrusor muscle, and nervous system signaling loops.
Research Check: The surprising data on caffeine metabolites and OAB.
Botanical Targets: Calming nervines, smooth muscle antispasmodics, and soothing demulcents.

The HPA-Axis
The HPA axis comes up ALL the time when we talk about stress, cortisol, and even adaptogens, but what is it actually doing?
In this mini-course, we’re going to follow the HPA axis from the brain all the way down to the adrenal glands. We’ll meet the hypothalamus, anterior pituitary, and adrenal cortex, follow CRH and ACTH through the pathway, talk about what cortisol is doing once it’s released, and finally loop everything back around with negative feedback.
