Healing through astrology and functional medicine

The more I come to this fact, I'm kind of coming from a science background, and over the years it's more and more— I'm more and more confident that it's really the psyche, that internal soul, that internal our being that is giving the messages, that is the one that's always on path.

Welcome to Beyond Diagnosis. A podcast to raise your awareness, decisions, and voice for alternative practices so you can take back control of your health. I'm Rita De Michele, your host, a mindset and empowerment coach, and the founder of the Onus platform. Join me each week so you can create the health of your dreams. Today's guest is no other than Mariette Ramme, a certified functional and astrology medicine practitioner, a 4-time bestselling author, and a United Nations Peace Ambassador. Welcome, Mariette.

Oh, it's an absolute pleasure to be here, Rita. Thank you so much for the invite.

Oh, it's a pleasure to have you. This is really going to be interesting. I don't think there's many people that have heard of an astrology medicine practitioner. I must admit, they will now. They will now, because I must admit, until I actually invited you onto the podcast, I hadn't heard of it either. So it's going to be, you know, something I think is going to pique people's interest but also raise their awareness for what else is available, which is fantastic. Now, you combine— yes, yeah, you combine astrology and functional medicine, which is super unique. Can you share how you use astrology in your functional medical practice?

There is not a short answer to that.

That's okay. We're here for the long one.

But I will just— We're here for the long answer. I will try. I will try to the absolute maximum. Yes. Basically, functional medicine, in a way, we really try to get down to the root cause of the problem. As opposed to just really dealing with symptoms.

That's right.

And what astrology basically helps with is really understanding the person themselves. When we are looking at a natal chart of a person with all the planets, the asteroids, the different— a lot of things that you will see on a natal chart. But as someone who is who is quite accustomed to reading a chart, we immediately have a look into that, who that person is, what is the way that they see themselves, what their feelings are like, what sort of energies they are working with, how they are really operating, what makes them tick. And that kind of information, how they learn, how they are able to adapt to certain situations, how they are able to— uh, to cope with different treatment methods. And this, these information, these types of information that really allow us to go more in depth into that individualized, functionalized treatment plan that we are applying with functional medicine.

So does that mean, I don't want to, definitely don't want to take this into the, like, the astrology of magazines. We're not there. We're not looking at that. This is way beyond and a lot more technical and sophisticated and accurate. So, are we looking at— when you say, uh, on their chart, we're looking at the time that they were born, um, the, the month? Is the month important, or is it more just the day, time?

Full date of full date. So, the 21st of July, 1967, 11:45 in the morning, and then the exact location. This information basically allows us to create— now we don't have to do it by hand. And actually, I'm that generation who never did anything by hand and calculations.

Yes.

So I'm very lucky in a way because we have so many sophisticated programs and different things that kind of do these calculations. So This creates the entire wheel of where the planets are, what sort of degrees, what sort of zodiacs, the elements, the modalities. And we can have really a good kind of view of how the person actually landed on planet Earth, so to speak. But not just that, but it can also— a zodiac wheel can also indicate to what a person, according to your belief, if you believe in reincarnation, in past lives and that sort of thing. It can give us an insight into what happened in prior lives and also an indication of where you are heading in this lifetime with the energies that you are born with and with the skill sets and with all the things that you arrive with. And a lot of, you know, many times as you go through, you know, you're born and then you've got your early childhood and, you know, your parents and your brothers, sisters, etc., etc. Then you start school and then early, you know, job experiences. And as you go through life, it's kind of— it's almost like a discovery journey of like, yeah, I'm good at this. Yeah, I can be good at that. And oh, why is happening this and that? And it's like you learn about yourself. But for us, it's having that birth chart. It's like your imprint is there. You're totally imprinted there. And what's cool about this, that this is basically a time and location, an exact time and location. And obviously, you know, the universe doesn't stop. So, you know, all the things are happening, you know, the moon is, you know, everything is going on their courses in the universe, and different things are happening, and solar flares, and, you know, various kinds of constellations and things and that. And the energies are basically being felt. So, and that's got obviously an effect on us as well. And there is a thing which is called a progressed chart. Now, a progressed chart is basically after a person is born, we can kind of almost like follow the evolution of a person, how these planets are moving along within this chart. It's kind of a little bit complicated.

Mm-hmm.

But for example, if someone comes along 35 years old and diagnosed with cancer, okay? You're not going to look at the birth chart. That's that's not going to give you the best possible way. There might be some indications of what you know the person may be genetically inclined to and na na na na na. But exactly at age 35, what happened? The best indication is this progression, so to speak. So that's another. element that we are looking at. And we are also looking at what's happening on the day, you know, like right now, you know, lots of planets in Gemini, you know, a lot of energies, bits and pieces, you know, it's like, you know, late spring, early summer, you know, equinoxes are coming along, that sort of thing. So it becomes really, really, really complex in a way to identify that, you know, where is that exact energy. coming from where the person might be experiencing this inflammation that's going on in the body, why a person is reacting that something's flaring up, where is this coming from. And we can really, by these progressions and transits and the natal chart— because that's always going to be our blueprint— adding all this together, this will give us a really, really, really good understanding of what is happening right now. And that's why I totally agree with you, Rita, that, you know, book things like, you know, magazine stuff, and, you know, that, you know, this is Leo and that's Scorpio, and this, this is, this is, this, this is, this is not it. This is not it.

It's almost like kindergarten, isn't it? The kindergarten version.

And you have to start somewhere. I mean, there are eternal truths definitely in the zodiac aspects as well. But yes, it's a very complicated And but, you know, year after year after year, and obviously, you know, there is a, there is a certain amount of, of compassion and a certain amount of, of, of feeling of service to others that needs to be. Not everyone can, you know, you have to be a healer to do this. You have to be there for people. So without that, you, you can't do it.

Yes, you actually answered a lot of my— what was in that question for me. was, um, and you mentioned this progressive chart, so I was thinking when you started speaking about it that you want the daytime that we're born. And, and I've had astrology done before like that, and they say, well, within your life path, it's almost like it was— it's already set out and you're just going along the path. That's what it felt like for me. And they even He even said to me, oh, you know, by this age, be careful because you could have this happen with your health. So that's why I asked the question, is does the functional medicine— like, you see a condition in someone's chart and then that gives you that higher, more expanded awareness because you can tap into something that other practitioners can't? And then does the functional medicine testing then confirm? Or it— because someone's obviously come to you for a reason. They're not coming to you because they don't have a condition. So that was my questioning there. Do we have it in our chart that we're going to possibly have a condition? Or not? Does it help with the treatment methods that you help, you know, for someone? Does it actually help you say, you know, okay, I can see this, I can see the way you are, you're sensitive, you're this, you're something else. Um, does that help you select what treatment method would be good for them? I know it's a big question, but it was— you've got my mind going.

Again, it's a huge, huge, massive question. Maybe it might be easier for the audience perspective as well, that if, if we, for example, if we start with, with, with, with a kind of hypothetical example.

Yes.

Okay, let's see that. Okay, let's say that, you know, we've got a lady who is, okay, early 40s, for example, and she's had some issues. I'm trying, I'm trying to think of, of, of basically a kind of a case case that, that it's kind of recent, is still in, still in my head. with, for example, multiple sensitivities in terms of that, you know, foodstuff, you know, some allergies, food allergies, you know, occasional— how could I— because there is actually a lady in my mind, but obviously, you know, there has to be a confidentiality element here.

Absolutely.

With, you know, occasional— how can I, how can I actually say this? If, if someone is listening to this and they have multiple sensitivities, they will understand it, that sometimes they feel like that their head just wants to explode, that they are just in this really, really, really bad place. And they are, they are feeling awful in their bodies. They might be feeling sick as well. They, the head is just everything. And then it basically affects their mood. It might be taking them down on a depressive spell. You know, there might be some, you know, bipolar thing going on there, you know, and then there is issues because of that. There is issues in the family, maybe the partner relationship not going on well. You know, they are not really tolerant or, you know, they can't have energy for their children. You know, it's affecting their workplace, their, their the way in which they are able to perform at work, etc., etc. So it's just the whole thing goes just upside down. So just to see from a functional perspective and with regards to astrology, whenever someone comes to me and says that, okay, these are the sort of things that I'm experiencing, and they come to me because Things are really bad. They are really, really bad. And they go to a GP or they go to a practitioner and they said, okay, you take XYZ. And either it doesn't do anything for them or it makes their condition worse. And they say, I can't believe that this is happening. So they try to find some sort of— so they are kind of on a way of really, really desperate urge. So the number one thing that we do is always looking at the birth chart of where somebody is coming from. So there are certain locations in a birth chart that's able to tell me that maybe this person is kind of genetically really predisposed to having— is more sensitive to certain things. I can see with some of the planets and some of the energies there that this person just picks up these signals really, really, and they don't know don't know where it's coming from, how it's hitting them, but it's just coming all the time. And they're just more sensitive to this. And there's a certain location in the chart that specifically looks at health. So I can basically look around or what sort of planets might be playing in there, and then doing the progressive and then the transit of what is actually happening right now. We can say that I can see that that is the energy that's actually affecting them, really, really affecting them. So why Why the why certain conditions are actually flaring up, and you know they may feel you know they may feel them more what's the word you know just not with it or you know they feel no focus or they feel yeah yeah depression tiredness nananana. all this kind of, you know, that we don't know what it is symptoms. And we can really much, you know, kind of explain. And it's like you can see when you're talking to someone, it's like light bulbs going on.

Mm-hmm.

And with the planetary alignments, we can also see that it's not just within the person, but what are those situations that are setting this up? For some people, it could be, you know, a partner relationship. A lot of times when, for example, I've experienced a lot, especially in cancer cases, that women are, they are just people pleasers and they accept everything and anything in relationships and they don't prioritize themselves. They, they, they, it's almost like they are afraid of doing that. I've seen that. I've seen that a lot. I've seen that a lot with, with uterus cases. with breastcases many, many, many times when a woman is actually trying to hide behind this kind of, you know, I'm an obedient wife kind of, you know, personality.

Servitude.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or, you know, that could be if it's, if it's not, you know, personal relationship, it could be something that is really connected to work, for example, you know, someone who is really not Not in, how can I say it, that they just haven't found that real path, that path that is corresponding with them or where they are heading in life. Like, is this work good for me? Do I really want to be here? Well, I'm here because it pays well and so on, so on, so on. So, but you know, at the same time, a lot of times when social situations are just generally, because let's just see, I mean, we are social people, okay?

Yeah.

We have to be part of a, you know, a bigger circle of a bigger tribe. You know, how you fit into your tribe, how you are navigating that tribe energy, that could disrupt a lot of people as well in terms of that, you know, their individuality and their creativity, how they are able to kind of translate that energy into that tribe mentality. You know, it's so we can see all these areas of where the areas are really kind of hotspots, and where the hotspots are really hit by the current energies, and then where the flares are. So once we're kind of able to, able to see this, because I've also looked at the natal chart, I know that genetically, what is the best possible way of how the person is able to deal with things and where the actual person is, is going in life? What are those lessons that they, that a person has to has to learn with. And every time when I talk to someone, it's really interesting. And we've got this body we need to somehow manage on this planet Earth in a way that we are. But in a way, the soul and the body, it's for us to really integrate us, it's very, very, very tricky. And to get down to that really pure soul level where you understand your real journey of where you are heading and not fighting against it. Because that's what, you know, diseases, disalignments, all this happens because we are fighting against this soul journey that is not just here over this 60, 70, 80 years, how many years we've got on this planet Earth. But this continues after in different realms. And again, according to someone's belief, you know, it's like, how are you going to advance in this lifetime while you are here? So in order to, when you finish this journey, when you are on your next journey, then you're going to have to come to that point of where you are going to that ultimate alignment of the soul. And eventually, eventually, I don't even, I don't even know what's the highest form of existence is. Still yet to experience it. But, you know, all these physical alignments and misalignments and bits and pieces that are coming along, it's really a message of that soul that, look, girl or hate man, you know, this is what you have to change within you, in your psyche, deep within yourself. And then suddenly you, I mean, you see these miracle cases. I'm writing my 5th book and I'm writing about miracle cases and it's like, what's happening? You know, one day you've got cancer and the next week you are kind of in remission and then 2 months later you've got nothing. And it's like, geez, how did that happen? But it happens, and it's— people say that, okay, it's here, but I just call that as a soul evolution. And we see that also, the soul evolution, we see it very, very clearly in the birth chart. I'm sorry, this is not a simple, a short answer to this.

There is no short answer. I find it absolutely fascinating. So basically, you're helping people work with the energetics. So it sounds like it's all the energetics. Um, you can see it— my understanding, please correct me, um, I'm just trying to describe what I'm— my understanding for the listeners is that you can see the progression in someone's birth chart. So you can see where they may be a people pleaser, is that right? You can see where energetically on their chart, they have it in their path, in their life path, that they're a people pleaser, um, they give up on themselves all the time, um, uh, whatever other emotional aspect it is, and then how that manifests into some form of dis-ease in the body. And then you bring in the functional medicine side Also according to their chart helps guide you. What do they need? Do they need some form of energy clearing? Do they need a mindset shift? Do they need supplements? What is it for them individually? So this is my understanding of what you're saying. Am I on the right path?

You got it, you got it, you got it. And I hope the audience got it as well.

I think so.

Sorry guys, it's just no, no, no short way around this.

It's not, but it's fascinating because there's so many conditions that we, we aren't— you know, we talk a lot about the mind-body now, which is fantastic because it's progressed just from the physical. Okay, we can't stay in this physical siloed approach that it's only in the physical and it's only this condition in isolation. Or, well, we've gone way past that now. We've integrated the mind-body and how our thinking and our beliefs create our experience on a physical— but what I love about your work is it just goes another step further that not many people talk about, and that's embracing the energetics and our soul's evolution and what our soul needs. on this planet, um, for us to be healthy, for us in a physical form to be healthy. So yeah, no, I just love it. I love it. So when, when you are working with someone like— you, you mainly work with people with cancer, autoimmune. You have a lot of clients who have mental health issues, either they either have anxiety, depression, or dealing with some form of Yes. Do you obviously see that in their chart? Is that in their chart, or is that an offshoot to what is in their chart? Like, they— you see something in their chart, and then due to the way their life is progressing, they have the mental health issues. I'm not quite sure which way that— That starts.

This is really interesting because there are— there could be indication in a birth chart that a person genetically, or you can say genetically in inverted commas, you know, from a soul imprint perspective, that they arrive on this planet They are just, they are just more sensitive. They are just, it's just in them. They are deep people. They are sensitive. They are picking up on all the sort of things that are going along. They might have some energies that are, that are, are, what's the best possible way to put this, is Are they empaths? Empath is, but it's, it's, it goes deeper. Yes, it goes deeper. But along those lines, let's, let's use empath because that's an easy word to, for everybody to understand that along that line. And it goes a lot, lot, lot deeper. And you just got all these currents of information that are just kind of around you. And it's like, What the heck am I going to do? And, and you know, as obviously already already pointed it out, you know, as you're growing up, it's like you know putting all those puzzle pieces together, especially you know like early teens and twenties is like Jesus, you know I don't even know who I am. And you know, and and then somebody's asking me to you know to do some work and what I want to do. And you know I want to make money and you know na na na na na. And it's just like oh my God! And you've got this really deep sensitivity inside of you. And yeah, things things are chaotic. Chaotic. Things will become chaotic. And you can see it in a natal chart. Normally, people with mental health issues, I would say probably about 80% of the time, there is a good indication in the natal chart themselves that there is a sensitivity there. And there are certain planets, there are certain locations within the zodiac wheel, certain aspects that are say to us immediately. It's like you look at the chart and it's like, whoops, it just hits you immediately. So, you know, and then the rest 20% is you could say that when they actually meet someone, that there is something that is activated in them. Then there is something, there is like a— and if you're listening to this and you, Rita, you think of yourself that something happened in your life and you just something went off and then there was a big pivot from then on. And people normally say this, especially with cancer people, again, with ladies, cancer-related, hormone-related cancer. I see a lot of, lot of correlation there with relationships. They meet a guy. The guy is like, oh, the love of my life. And then, you know, 2 years later, it turns out that the guy is narcissistic.

Narcissistic. Yeah.

And things are not going well. But by then, you know, you change countries, you do this and that, you have, you know, you've already got kids, you know, you've already got, you know, financial commitment to the person, etc., etc. So to get out of that situation, it's like you can't. So it's like you made your bed, you have to lie in it. And in that case, what I tend to do is if I really see that, you know, this is something that is activated with a person, then I can basically put the person's chart together with another person's chart and see basically what is that activation that's happening there. For example, in a marriage. I do that very often with Cancer cases. And it's normally, it's interesting because somehow in a way that they are presenting with symptoms and then we kind of go into these discussions that are very intimate, very deep, you know, very personal discussions. So the relationship— this is— this becomes a very, very tight-knit relationship to actually to work together with someone who does astrofunctional medicine and a client. The relationship becomes very deep and very bonded and very deep. That's why there's a lot of confidentiality that is basically surrounding this. And, and, you know, there are a lot of things that coming up, coming to the surface. And just by basically being in relationships, and I'm definitely, I can certainly speak for myself, that, you know, there are so many things are activated that happened to you, you know, when you were a smaller child, you know, if someone been, you know, been really in a very, very, you know, bad situation, they may have been abused, there's children as early adolescent, you know, goes back some sort of a connection there with family connections. We can also see the mother and father connection within a birth chart as well. We can also look into things like, you know, how the pregnancy went for the mother. There are a lot of things that are happening during the pregnancy time when, you know, embryonic stage. We can go into really deep into that one as well of where this condition may have come. And we can look at previous lives as well. It's kind of like a chart within the chart type of thing. That's more like going into evolutionary medical astrology. That's more of a specialized side as well of that, you know, once you are inherited conditions, why did you inherit these? How did they come about? What happened there? You know, and it becomes— and it's like, you know, these kind of little— and then you are able to basically put the puzzle pieces together for yourself. And just by understanding this, because, you know, you are here with all these All these problems and things is like, and you kind of like, I'm doing something wrong. This is something with me, and it's like me, and and and and all these things is just like keep buried and buried, and then it's just piling on all the effects. It's like the physical conditions are getting worse, and and in a mainstream it's it's called stress. Okay, but you say to someone that you know don't get stressed, and you know you've got this going on in the family. That's so no no no no no no no no no. How can I not get? stressed. You know, don't tell me that. This is ridiculous. And it's like, you know, the mind-body connection. And it's like, what is that? I mean, okay, you understand it. But you know, when you live it every day, you live this and you have got a medical condition that's actually threatening your existence here. And we are programmed for survival. It becomes a very, very difficult journey along the way. Very difficult. And to understand those steps are really vital. They are so important. And that's why I'm saying that when the light bulbs are coming on and people are actually start to understand that this blame and this and so on, it's almost like their perspective is not just their perspective, but they start to understand the entire kind of, you could say, universe around them, but they will understand in terms of their parents and siblings and relationships and things. It's like things are adding up. And it's almost like shedding. It's like a mental shed. It's like a soul shed. And they are able to see it's like, I'm actually— I'm just part of this. I'm just part of the mechanism here. Don't take this into yourself. Don't take everything onto yourself.

Mm-hmm.

Don't turn it against yourself. And, and, and, and by able to basically to see, I always start with basically of where the person came from and where the person is going. I always keep that in, in very, very much in focus because that, that's so clarity is to, to always focusing on the person because we always go back to, to that point no matter what is happening and so on, so on. So they almost like that there is a hope there. There is a— but it's more than a hope, but let's just Mm-hmm. That always has to see it like, where, where am I going? What is my ultimate purpose here? Because otherwise you just get so bogged in with everything that's happening with you, with your medical condition, with the doctors, with hospital appointments, with this and that. And then your husband, your partner, your children, your parents, your work, your money, that, and it just goes all off the tracks. So you really have to get that, you know, clear clarity of where you're going. And it's interesting to see because there are some, unfortunately, some cancer cases that I'm dealing with that are actually in remission, which I'm very, very, very pleased about. And very often that I actually having that people who actually gone through cancer. And they are questioning of what was that all about? And they had a remission and they are kind of back into their new chapter. And it's like, how did that happen? What's going on there? You know?

Mm-hmm.

And I'm having a lot of those clients as well. But the clients, unfortunately, who— and it's not them normally, it's normally pressure from the families like, oh, you have to try this, you have to do so and so and so and so. And there's been a very, very unfortunate case that the lady actually passed away. And it's, it was very, I also do medical intuition. And the very first time when I had a meeting with this lady, I just had like this, like a white brick wall in front of her. And I was like, I was like, I'm never going to get through to this lady. And she was already given a terminal diagnosis. I had a look at her charts, bits and pieces. And she was so deep. There was so much pain. There was so much depth there. That was terminal cancer, 2 young children. You can imagine what she was going through. And very, very sadly, the lady passed away. And I was kind of hoping that you know, the miracle, when I'm looking at the miracle cases, it's like that something's happening. And maybe, maybe, maybe I'm just able to open that door that she can see the light ahead. Because I could, I could see that light. But obviously, you know, there is a choice. That was a personal choice from, you know, and astrology with everything. We've got our personal choice. Am I going to do this? I'm not going to do this. What are you going to do? And if you say, well, I'm not going to do this, you're kind of functioning with that really old rigid mentality of where you came from, from an astrology perspective, of where you are still living in the past. And to make that journey into the new, into the hope, that's difficult. And you've got a Cancer ahead of you. Yeah, you have to go through a year, 2 years of medical treatment, of chemotherapy, radiation. You're going to feel awful during the days. You don't want to speak to people. You're going to break down. You're going to be crying days in, days out because that's just it. You're going to have to go through that journey and it's horrible, horrible, horrible. And once you've got that, once you're at the other end of the tunnel, the light is there. And then it's like, oh my God, I really had to go through that in order to experience where I'm going. And it's such a wonderful— it's a very— I'm always feeling like so humble. And so when I'm really guiding the people, it's a humbling experience really to be with someone along this path. To be with along the journey with someone because this is a rough path. This is very, very, very rough path from a cancer perspective. But, you know, don't have to talk about really cancer, you know, even from, you know, autoimmune or, you know, mental health aspect any other way. Doesn't matter what. It's, you know, you're special. It's very special. And nothing, nothing, you know, whenever we want to change something in our lives, it's It's difficult. Let's let's let's let's let's put it bluntly, you know.

Yeah, it is. It's not.

No, no, no, no. It's like no, I'm I'm good as I am. You know, I'm doing my little things. All is good. Da da da da da da da da. But you know, you're not going to go ahead to to this light of of where you're supposed to be. And you know, in a way, if it's you know predestined or not, again, I would say that you know that's that that's a free will. That's a choice. Anytime, anything is a free will and a choice in terms of astrology, in terms of life. A lot of people say that, oh, I don't really want to see my chart because if you're going to say that I'm going to have cancer or I'm going to be ill or I'm going to do that, so on and so on and so on. Anytime, any time of the day, any day, a person can say that, look, I'm going to make a change. And You know, when it comes to the physical body, it's normal, you know, have more exercise, sleep well, eat good food, don't go McDonald's.

Yeah, that was actually something I was going to touch on because when you said, uh, you mentioned about looking at the chart and people have a choice, like this lady, she saw that she had cancer, but you could see on the other side, like choosing to go through it and come out the other side. Whereas, you know, she wasn't choosing to go through it.

She wasn't.

She wasn't choosing to. So that sort of made me think with genetics, you know, when they talk about genetics, and as you'll say with the functional medicine, you can switch genes on, you can switch them off. So can— when you see things in someone's chart, then they have the choice, do I switch that on? with my behavior and what I'm doing in life, or do I— can I switch it, keep it switched off? So looking at someone's chart, it can be quite preventative. Like, you can say—

It is.

I can see this is in your chart in 10 years' time, so why don't we switch that off by making changes now, by changing the mindset, by changing your behavior? And, you know, making different choices. It seems quite, even though some people don't wanna see what's in their chart, it also seems like it's quite empowering. Is that right?

It is.

Yeah, it is.

It is. You can, you can see the complexity of it. Oh yes. It's, it's, it's incredibly complex. And yes, I mean, you know, functional and functional medicine in terms of, you know, testing, cuz even then, you know, functional medicine, there are markers. Okay, that's obviously, you know, if it's something that needs to do. I'm seeing that quite a lot with adrenal fatigue. Um, I think it's coming more into the mainstream what adrenal fatigue is. Most people more like know chronic, chronic fatigue. They understand that more. Um, or, um, what would be, what would be another kind of, uh, common, uh, general term of when you are just, when you're just completely burnt out basically on days on end?

Burnout.

Burnout.

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

Adrenal fatigue. Yeah. So you have the markers, you know, you are diagnosed, et cetera, et cetera. There is a, from a functional medical procedure, there is a certain protocol that, that we administer there, but there is still not as personalized. And that doesn't touch obviously the psychology and the mental aspect of a person. And I'm, and I'm, I've always felt this very much from Ever since I've existed, ever since I existed, more or less, I've got a lot of planets that are in the house of health. I'm not going to go into astrology and a lot of kind of voodoo things.

Yeah.

So I like to— this is kind of my genetic imprint that I like to see health from— yeah, health is wealth from a spiritual perspective. Is that, you know, if the soul, if the soul is, the soul is free, the soul is, is, is intact, uh, the soul is, is intact, um, it's, the body is good, but the body follows, you know. I'm looking after my soul, I'm looking after my psyche, I'm looking after my, my mentality, and the body follows, and it's great. fine, I'm good with that. For a lot of people, they are coming very much from a physical perspective. They just don't have any idea that— and that's really interesting actually because I have had some cases. These are the cases that are very difficult that people are open, very interested in astrology and functional medicine and astrology. But in a way, they are very much science, physical-based. And the way in which they learn and the way in which they are open, it's very fixed. It's very fixed.

Hmm.

So there is a difference. And then that kind of allows me, I've got a lot of mutable energy. That's why I'm kind of, I can work with any energy. Doesn't matter. Mutable is good because it can adapt to, it's like, you know, you are this, great. I'm this, you're that. I'm this, you know, whatever. And, you know, with this fixed, really, really fixed physical mentality. And there is a certain different approach in which, you know, you are educating but empowering these people. And so it's very much of a self-empowerment process through money, mind, money, sorry, body, mind, and spirit. Use the cliché. That's the easiest way to go. But yeah, it certainly is huge empowerment. And it's part of the soul evolution, certainly is.

Absolutely. It's really taking responsibility for ourselves and that healing comes from us, not expecting it to come from somebody else or outside of it. It's really— it's us. It's like you said, it's the soul, it's the mind, it's the body. I find it kind of interesting, do— from what you were saying, do people actually come to you knowing that you are an astromedical Practitioner, do they actually come to you without believing in astrology, or does everyone who comes to you believe in the energetics and the soul?

It's the second one.

Oh yeah, I was going to say, I was going to say, because that would be really difficult.

And but it's interesting because the first one, I'm actually working with a holistic clinic in the UK, um, and we are going to be launching relaunching. We've been working on my website, some copies and some ideas, bits and pieces. And I've also started to write my 5th book, which is going to be just purely on functional medicine and astrology. And I'm going to list everything, all the different energies with the zodiacs. And there are a lot of case studies and anecdotes, so it's not like a university textbook.

Yeah.

Very user-friendly, put it that way. And, and with this clinic, what did I want to say? Yes, there are, there are some people who are interested because there are different modalities within the clinic and a lot of, you know, physical scientific modalities. And it's, you know, when, when my colleague is saying that, oh, we are, we are doing, you know, astrofunctional medicine and some people actually really, really fascinated and some other people was like, Oh, this is just a lot of whatever, whatever. And I actually wrote a long, really, really long article, which is basically explaining quantum theories and very much the latest research, which is basically going down a lot, lot further than just, you know, gravity of basically, basically making the connections between our energies, the planetary universal energies, and a kind of theory behind of how the body basically degenerates. Because, you know, it's— let's just say it as that. You know, illnesses is basically just a degeneration, a defect of this physical mess that we have got. And in fact, it's not even an entity. It's like we are all over the place. You know, the— atoms and the particles are all over, all over. So everything is connected to everything. And, but, but in this reality of, with these senses, with, it's just so incomprehensible for us to, to really, you know, and, and you don't walk around in the supermarket normally thinking about quantum theories and entanglement theories. You just kind of like, okay, I just want, want some bread and milk and eggs and that's it and get out and feed the kids. And, you know, my car needs some Updating and whatever, whatever, whatever. So yeah, this is this is kind of a topic that is is yeah, it's not an everyday topic, but it's fascinating, especially with the cases that are are kind of you know given up cases. You know doctors say that we we don't know what to do. You know you've got this and that. They don't even know the names for the conditions. They normally try to find a a collective name. You just put it in a box and you are that. And, you know, you try on your own and, and, and it's, it's a lot better to, as opposed to someone going, because people get so desperate, you know, even you, you get like someone's got like an allergy and you can imagine like, you know, it's like itching all the time and it drives you mad 24/7 and you just want to do something about it. You do anything. You go on, what do you do? You go on Google and then you start basically doing, and then eventually you end up mistreating yourself. So may as well go to, go to either a functional practitioner or someone like me who is basically going to guide you and really tell you that what is actually going on, why you have these, you know, eczema flare-ups, especially, you know, particular parts of the year, what you can do about it, you know, both on a physical and on a mental level. Interesting with eczema, seeing there is a lot of correlation between skin conditions and individual energy. It's kind of like a passion kind of, you know, like work when you would say, you know, if you've got some kind of activity ahead of you and, you know, oh, I just really want to do it. You know, some people are really go-getters and, you know, adrenaline junkies and so on and so on and so on. And there's a lot more behind this, you know, in terms of energetics and mentality and what have you. And why these people are actually getting these massive skin rashes. And then you start to kind of change things here as well as some other things. And then suddenly you find that the eczema is actually becoming better. I was like, how did that happen?

Understanding the mindset and the belief patterns. But like you say, the energetics is really the a huge part. I am a huge believer that to heal successfully, um, you have to incorporate the energetics to things, you know, your soul, your soul level, the belief level, and the physical level. And on that note, Mariette, what's, what's one thing that you can leave with our listeners and our viewers of what they can actually do today to start getting in touch with themselves and maybe start visiting their soul level, or known as their intuition? Because sometimes we're so detached, so many people so detached from it. What's one thing that you can suggest they can do right now to start getting in touch?

Hmm, well, if you are resonating, well, if you're watching this program, you definitely— you are resonating.

You're already in touch.

You're already in touch. Yes. I would say that watch out for the synchronicities of the day because there is something that's always happening in the best interest of you. And it's something that is completely outside of your control. You can't do anything about it, but something that happens to you. And it's almost like a gift from the universe. And realizing these gifts, it could be anything. It could be meeting someone that you haven't met or receive an email or Coming across an article, maybe seeing this recording, maybe seeing our conversation right now. Could be anything. And then just really see how that message is resonating with you and where that leads you next. I think I'm a huge believer in serendipitous everything around us.

Everything.

So yeah, the gifts from the universe. Yeah, and the— and we always have the gifts from the universe. So yeah, yeah, gratitude, gratitude, gratitude.
