Learn how plant therapy and nutrition can both enhance and support your lifestyle and overall wellness situation.

Adrian White is a certified herbalist through two programs since 2012. She has studied and practiced herbalism since 2009, both independently and with stellar herbalist teachers. She first learned herbal healing from locals near Vilcabamba, Ecuador in South America, where she spent four months on a farm during an internship through her University. Those who have professionally trained her include herbalist and ethnobotanist Stephany Hoffelt of Naturally Simple Living, who trained her rigorously on all proper professional approaches to herbal protocols, herbal production creation and sales, and client consultations; as well as curandero Charles Garcia, director of the California School of Traditional Hispanic Herbalism on herbal and spiritual healing, product development, and more.

For more than a decade, Adrian White has worked with over 100 health, wellness, nutrition, and herbalism-related clients completing deep-diving herbalism research projects and producing written content, copy, training material, and educational blog and article content on a near-daily basis. Her work can be found all over the web on nutrition, health, wellness, herbalism, and gardening sites; as well as in product content, professional content, promotional content, and web copy for numerous supplement, health food, or natural living companies (including McPeak Market, Primal Herb, Crystal Star Supplements, Dr. Tobias, Natureland, Earth Conscious Life, and many others).

Adrian has professionally consulted as an expert herbalist on the development of natural health, whole food, and herbal products for supplement and superfood companies. Her expertise and knowledge can be found in professional training material for health and lifestyle coaches online, and her product development has even been mentioned and utilized by famous public figures!

Her unique creation of black strap nettle syrup has been emulated and remixed online by many other herbalists and companies, and you can find her recipe for it (among many others) in renowned herbalist Tina Sam’s intro book to herbalism, The Healing Power of Herbs. She has also contributed her writing on health and wellness subjects to Rodale’s Organic Life, Healthline, and Tina Sam’s The Essential Herbal, as well as many other publications on other subjects including The Guardian, Civil Eats, and Good Housekeeping.

Adrian is an organic farmer, co-owner, and operator of Jupiter Ridge Farm, which grows over 70 varieties of vegetables, fruits, herbs (culinary and medicinal), and gourmet mushrooms (culinary and medicinal) that are soon to be Certified Naturally Grown. Her food products may be accessible through her consultations but are also available at the Dubuque Farmers Market, a seasonal CSA, at area restaurants (in Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, Dyersville, Elkader, and surrounding areas), and direct delivery through Farm Share Boxes purchased online (by signing up to an exclusive email list).

Her work in herbalism and ag has been written about in Civil Eats, Salon Magazine, Manchester Press, Her Magazine Dubuque, the Telegraph Herald, and upcoming in the Guttenberg Press.

Issues and categories Adrian is happy to consult and talk through with you:

How Best to Use Herbal Health Products (Teas, Tinctures, Extracts, Powders, Supplements, etc.)
Anxiety and Depression Support
Stress and Tension
Female Health
Menstrual support
Fertility support
Immune System Support
Herbs that Support “Body Work”
Allergy Issues (Sinusitis, Allergic Rhinitis, etc.)
Digestive Issues/Gut Health
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Herbal First Aid Training
Liver Health and Detox Support (Lymphatic system, etc.)
Basic good nutrition practices (plant-based, animal-based, etc.)
…and more

The consultation stems from an herbalist-based practice, but it does not end there. Adrian may recommend an herb, blend of herbs, or even a variety of plant-based (vegetables, fruits, etc.) foods, sometimes animal-based foods, nutrients, or wild foods. Consultations may also involve lifestyle change recommendations and nutrition suggestions in order to enhance the effects of herbal or nutrition recommendations.

Herb walks and wildcrafting could also be a feature, with instructions on how to identify, harvest, and prepare certain plants on your own and which might be deemed a good fit for your situation, as well as with what’s available in your area.

Garden consulting can also be part of the consultation (when the season is right). This involves education on how to grow certain foods and herbs yourself.

If certain clients are interested, Adrian may provide astrological chart readings, I Ching readings, and dream work or other work on a spiritual level to those who seek it. (Adrian worked as professional astrologer and psychic for 3 years.)

However, it should be noted: Adrian is an herbalist with a very scientific, practical approach to using herbs for health, often referring to studies and research data that support the best remedies of today, as well as those which are also backed by historical and traditional use.

Good day!

As I know, deers can have ticks on their body. How they prevent their organism against Borrelia Burgdoferi? What herbs would you recommend for the chronic Lyme disease?

Thank you in advance

  Hi Boris. I would recommend looking at the research and traditional use behind herbs like teasel, dandelion, and boneset, which have all been used successfully for managing Lyme’s.
  
  I know very little about Borrelia. I would also recommend consulting with an herbalist as well as talking to your doctor before using any of these herbs.
  
  Best of luck!
  Adrian
