Her work centers on the foundational role of nutrition, lifestyle habits, and natural remedies in restoring and maintaining health.

She is also the author of Sustain Me, which continues her focus on personal responsibility, resilience, and long-term wellness.

Life is often physically demanding. Lifting, hauling, bending, and long, busy days can take a serious toll on the body. The work doesn’t stop when you’re hurting, so having simple, natural ways to ease pain is an essential skill. In this class, Jed Adamson teaches do-it-yourself methods for relieving pain without pharmaceuticals. You’ll learn how auricular therapy uses gentle acupressure points on the ear to help reduce back pain, joint pain, headaches, and muscle strain. Jed also shares a few other effective holistic remedies to ease pain. The class ends with a live demonstration so you can confidently use these techniques at home.
