Sick and Seeking
Sick and Seeking is hosted by Leslie Field who, after a diagnosis in her late teens of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), has been on a 22-year journey of healing and self-discovery.
In this podcast, Leslie invites you to join her for intimate, honest and heartfelt conversations with others who are also on their own healing journeys as they live with and manage the long-term effects of “dis-ease” in the body.
Listen to the stories of courageous people who, in the face of an uncertain medical future, are on a quest to go deeper into their bodies, beyond symptom and diagnosis—or in some cases no diagnosis—to reach a place of intuitive knowing, healing and transformation.
This podcast is, above all, an exploration in healing and examines a variety of modalities and knowledge from conventional medicine to holistic and complementary therapies that bring a spiritual, psychological and mystical perspective to bodily healing in our modern culture.

E1 S2 | Naturopath Debra Lee (she’s back!) Shares the Essential Elements and Nutrients We Need to Function Properly and Create a Healthy Self-Healing and Self-Regulating Environment in Our Bodies
Welcome to Season 2 of the Sick and Seeking Podcast! For our season opener, I’m excited to welcome back Naturopath Debra Lee, who was a fan favorite in Season 1, Episode 7, where she discussed the toxins we encounter daily. With her insightful knowledge and the popularity of that episode, I had to bring her back for more.
In this episode, Debra and I explore the essential elements and nutrients vital for creating a healthy, self-healing, and self-regulating environment in our bodies. We focus on clean water, minerals, good salts, probiotics, and fresh produce.
Join us as we explore how to foster health through conscious choices about essential elements!
Conversation Highlights:
- Lifestyle Over Genetics: Debra shares that 80% of our health is determined by lifestyle choices, not genetics.
- Essential Nutrients: We discuss key nutrients needed for proper body function, including clean water, good salts, minerals, probiotics, and fresh produce.
- Hydration Insights: Learn how much water you should drink, when to drink it, and the best types of water.
- Fluoride Differences: We explain the distinction between sodium fluoride and calcium fluoride and why it matters.
- Mineral Importance: Debra highlights that while our bodies can manufacture some vitamins, they cannot produce minerals, which must come from our diet or supplements.
- Key Minerals: We explore critical minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, chloride, and iodine, and what deficiencies may look and feel like.
- Gut Health: The roles of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics in maintaining a healthy gut are discussed.
- Support Local Farmers: Debra emphasizes the benefits of buying from local farmers or farmer's markets beyond environmental concerns.
