JTG #70 Tonya Papanikolov Founder of Well Woman Co & Rainbo Medicinal Mushrooms

*Special announcement about the podcast*

Hi, I’m Caroline Dalia Kaliani, Functional Nutrition Practitioner, Herbal Medicine Mama & formulator of a botanical skincare line for rosacea.

A few years ago, I launched this free educational platform called Journey to Glow.

The goal? To explore natural, holistic and effective solutions for skin “issues”.

In my quest to share the effectiveness of natural medicine, I interviewed over 75+ holistic skin experts (Functional Medicine Practitioners, Naturopathic NDs, Holistic Nutritionists, Integrative Dermatologists, and Ayurvedic doctors…) as well as dozens of womxn who fully healed rosacea.

The Journey To Glow podcast reached over 100,000 listeners and received hundreds of 5 stars reviews in 30 different countries. But the best part? Were the weekly emails from listeners and readers who shared they have regained hope that they could heal their skin!

Mission accomplished!

After years of making the episodes available for free on mainstream podcast platforms, we are now rethinking how we want this information to be accessed.

If you’d like to be notified of the next steps, sign up for the Glowletter at the bottom of this page.

Thank you for listening and for being on the journey with us!

JTG #70 Tonya Papanikolov Founder of Well Woman Co & Rainbo Medicinal Mushrooms

JTG #68 Histamine And Skin Health With Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner Tamy Anderson

Today I’m talking to Tonya Papanikolov on trusting the path, synchronicities, and following her intuition, as she built Rainbo, a functional mushroom business all made in Canada.

About our guest:

Rainbo was created by Tonya Papanikolov, holistic nutritionist, raw food chef, and wellness leader.

In 2017, Tonya created The Well Woman, an education platform to inspire, empower and educate holistic health, nutrition, and healing through food and lifestyle. She continues to coach clients, consult with restaurants, cafes, speaks and hosts wellness workshops, and leads international retreats.

From a young age, Tonya was sure of a few things: her affinity and deep love for all things rainbow and that she was here to help people on earth. Her interest in mushrooms started in her early 20s and continued as she used mycotherapy to heal herself, clients, and through her research into how mushrooms can save people and the world.
Rainbo is inspired by a reverence for nature and its healing properties and a desire to reconnect people back to this innate wisdom.

Mushrooms have the incredible ability to heal and balance the body and mind, and they help heal our environments and ecosystems at the same time.

Key points from this interview:

  • Changing the narrative when it comes to growing mushrooms sustainably and locally
  • Why Tonya chose to grow functional mushrooms in Canada and not China even though it had never been done before
  • Behind the scenes of running a mushroom business
  • Partnering with First Nation elder, Spirit Bear who is of the Sioux Lakota tribe from South Dakota now living in Canada in the Temagami First Nation community to create a handcrafted chaga product
  • The best way to take supplements while respecting your body’s needs
