## Resource

What if your eyes could tell you something about what’s happening inside your body? In this episode of Homesteading Made Simple, I sit down with naturopath and iridologist Dr. Angel Hill to explore the fascinating world of iridology and how it connects to self-reliance. Angel explains what she looks for in the colors, patterns, lines, and markings of the iris, and how she uses those observations as part of her naturopathic practice. But we don’t stop with eyeballs. We talk about gut health, hormones, cortisol, protein, minerals, sleep, sunlight, and some surprisingly simple things we can do every day to better support our bodies. If part of homesteading is learning how to take better care of ourselves and our families, this is a fascinating conversation to add to the toolbox.
