What if the biggest shift in health starts with learning how your body actually works?
In this Digital Social Hour Episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Sierra Mead, the founder of South Summit, also known as the Southern Utah Holistic Health Summit, to talk about women’s health, natural wellness, endometriosis, detox pathways, holistic medicine, and why more people are looking beyond the traditional medical system for answers.
Sierra shares her personal health journey, from chronic digestive issues and IBS to surgeries, endometriosis, and eventually changing her lifestyle after feeling like the standard answers were not enough.
She explains how that journey pushed her to start researching natural health, follow educators like Barbara O’Neill, Dr.
Bradley Campbell, Gary Brecka, and others, and eventually create an in-person summit where people could learn directly from leading voices in the wellness space.
The conversation covers women’s cycles, birth control, home birth, fever support, digestion, hydration, minerals, mold exposure, biological dentistry, oral health, blood work, vaccines, nervous system regulation, grounding, family health, and why in-person events can help people feel less alone on their healing journey.
Sierra also breaks down what attendees can expect at South Summit in Utah, why the event was designed without breakout sessions, and why she believes real education, community, and personal responsibility are key to changing your health.
