Spirituality Meets Nutrition: Rhiannon Neuharth on Spiritual Conversions
Welcome to Spiritual Conversions, the podcast from HolisticCircle where the ethereal meets the practical, and no topic is too intricate to untangle. This week’s guest, Rhiannon Neuharth, a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, shares her journey from science teacher to holistic healer, and her insights leave host Philipp Kobald—and listeners—both inspired and questioning their own daily choices.
The conversation, available on YouTube @HolisticCircle, is a masterclass in balancing spirituality and practicality, with topics ranging from ADHD to nutrition, MTHFR gene mutations, and even the emotional tightrope of homeschooling. If you’ve ever wondered how to harmonize body, mind, and soul in a chaotic world, this podcast is your nudge to reconsider everything.
The Teacher Turned Healer
Rhiannon’s story begins in a classroom but takes a sharp turn when her youngest child was born with severe immune deficiencies. “She had chronic ear infections, MSPI [milk soy protein intolerance], and was constantly ill,” Rhiannon shares, explaining how these challenges pushed her from the rigidity of Western medicine toward a holistic approach. Her journey into functional nutrition wasn’t a premeditated career pivot but rather a desperate bid to heal her child—and, as it turned out, herself.
With a foundation in science and an undergraduate degree in Native American Studies, Rhiannon evolved from teaching to counseling, focusing on the root causes of chronic illnesses. “I use food as medicine,” she explains. But her work is far from simplistic: she also integrates trauma-informed coaching, addressing the deep interplay between emotional and physical health.
ADHD, Trauma, and a Three-Pronged Approach
One of the most compelling aspects of this episode is Rhiannon’s nuanced understanding of ADHD—not as a label, but as a window into an individual’s unique energy flow and needs. “Every day is different,” she says. “You have to understand your capacity and give yourself grace.”
Her approach to healing clients involves three interconnected pillars: nutrition, lifestyle, and energy work. Nutrition, she emphasizes, isn’t just about food—it’s about tuning into your body’s unique genetic blueprint. She runs extensive gene testing to identify which pathways need support, particularly focusing on the MTHFR gene, a hot topic for those interested in the intersection of nutrition and genetics.
But it’s the emotional and spiritual aspects of her work that make her approach truly holistic. Trauma, she argues, often manifests physically, and healing requires addressing these stored emotions. Through techniques like sound therapy and vagus nerve stimulation, she helps clients regulate their nervous systems—a cornerstone of lasting change.
Spirituality in Action
The conversation takes a lighter yet profound turn when Rhiannon discusses how spirituality fits into her practice and her life as a parent. “Children learn by watching,” she says, recounting her family’s bold decision to sell everything and move to Mexico for six months. This leap of faith wasn’t just an exercise in wanderlust but a live demonstration for her kids of what it means to trust in the universe—and yourself.
Rhiannon also underscores the importance of inviting children into spiritual practices. Whether it’s yoga, journaling, or simply meditating together, she believes that creating an open and honest space for exploration plants seeds for future growth. “Kids can handle more than we think,” she notes, advocating for a balance of transparency and age-appropriate boundaries.
Food as Medicine, Not a Fix
While spirituality weaves a golden thread through the podcast, food remains a central theme. “Food can either be medicine or poison,” Rhiannon states, a mantra that underscores the six weeks she spends with clients focusing solely on dietary shifts. Unlike restrictive diets or quick fixes, her approach is individualized and gradual, aligning with her belief that healing is a marathon, not a sprint.
Philipp, ever the curious host, delves into the specifics, asking how Rhiannon bridges the gap between diet and emotional well-being. Her answer is refreshingly candid: “It’s all connected. You can’t heal one without addressing the other.”
The Power of Alignment
What sets this podcast apart is its refusal to isolate spirituality from everyday struggles. Rhiannon’s authenticity is palpable as she shares her own challenges, from juggling entrepreneurial demands to navigating the ups and downs of parenting. Her commitment to alignment—not perfection—is a refreshing counterpoint to the performative wellness trends saturating social media.
Philipp, an experienced meditator and self-confessed “super dad in training,” provides the perfect foil to Rhiannon’s grounded wisdom. Their rapport, filled with laughter and the occasional philosophical musing, keeps the conversation engaging without losing its depth.
Takeaways and Thought Starters
For the reflective listener, this episode offers more than just tips—it’s an invitation to reassess how we live, eat, and connect. Are we attuned to our own energy? Do we understand the signals our bodies are sending? And perhaps most importantly, are we modeling the values we wish to pass on to the next generation?
If these questions resonate, you’re not alone. As Rhiannon puts it, “Healing isn’t about doing everything perfectly; it’s about finding what works for you and sticking with it.”
Closing Thoughts
Spiritual Conversions isn’t just a podcast—it’s a space where science and spirituality sit at the same table, served with a generous side of real-life practicality. Rhiannon Neuharth’s episode is no exception, offering a rich tapestry of insights for anyone navigating the messy, beautiful intersection of wellness and spirituality.
