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.

Ep. 7 | Naturopath Debra Lee Educates Us on the Toxins in Our Daily Lives: What Are They and Why We Want to Avoid Them
In this episode I speak to Debra Lee, founder of Middle Tennessee’s Wellness Bridge Consulting. Debra is a Traditional Naturopath, Certified Natural Health Practitioner, a Hanna Kroeger Practitioner, Lifestyle Coach and a NuVision Biofeedback Specialist. A teacher at heart, Debra thrives on educating and coaching people to make better choices for themselves. In this episode she highlights some of the over 500 chemicals we are exposed to daily, where they are found, and what symptoms may occur after exposure.
This is just the first introduction to Debra and her knowledge, and there is much more ground to cover. More conversations with Debra will be coming soon on the Sick and Seeking Youtube Page.
We speak about:
- Why people seek out the support of a naturopath like Debra
- One of the causes for chronic illness relapse in our bodies is due to the environmental toxins lurking in the over 500 chemicals we are exposed to daily
- Commercial scents and air fresheners are not regulated and there can be unlisted ingredients in these products
- Selecting high-quality essential oils that are labeled therapeutic-grade
- The different organs in our bodies and what they do to help the body rid of toxic substances
- Environmental chemicals and toxins and how they may negatively affect you body
- Awareness and avoidance of formaldehyde, aluminum, sodium fluoride, parabens, sulfates, nitrites, nitrates, MSG and aspartame in products or foods that go on, in, or near your body
- The important difference between calcium fluoride versus sodium fluoride, and why this distinction is important.
- How to limit one’s exposure to dioxin, also known as glyphosate
- Chewing gums and mints are now sweetened with aspartame instead of sugar and why this is potentially an issue
- Debra’s suggestion to avoid harsh detoxes for the body and start with dandelion, parsley or cilantro teas
