The third episode of the second season of The Whole Itself Remains begins with a discussion of the gabapentinoids—a class of drugs originally developed as anticonvulsants but now widely prescribed for chronic pain, anxiety, and insomnia—their growing use, and their link to cognitive decline. Todd explores how traditional medicine understands pain as a manifestation of imbalance, and how diet and lifestyle can support its resolution.

He then speaks with Phyllis D. Light, a fourth-generation herbalist and author of Southern Folk Medicine: Healing Traditions from Appalachian Fields and Forests. They discuss her upbringing in the Appalachian tradition, her apprenticeship with Tommie Bass, and her insights on the medicinal use of American ginseng within this lineage.
