Heallist Podcast
A space to explore the many paths of holistic healing. Hosted by Heallist founder Yuli Ziv, each episode features thoughtful conversations with experienced practitioners and teachers across a wide range of holistic approaches — from somatic practices and herbal medicine to trauma-informed care and integrative wellness. Rather than focusing on trends or promises, the show explores how holistic practices are used in real life: who they’re for, why people turn to them, and how different approaches support individuals at different points in their health and healing journeys. Whether you’re a practitioner, a seeker, or simply curious about holistic health, this podcast invites you to learn, expand, and engage with healing in a more informed, grounded way.
