Episode 111: Choosing Your Lifestyle Might Have Unexpected Consequences with Wren Lloyd

Episode Description:

In this inspiring episode of the Homeopathy 247 Podcast, Mary Greensmith welcomes back homeopath and natural living advocate, Wren Lloyd. Together, they explore how Wren has consciously shaped every part of her family’s lifestyle — from food to homeschooling to health — based on strong values and intentional living.

Building a Life Around Values

Wren shares how her journey into a holistic lifestyle started with making conscious choices for her family. Living on a smallholding in the Staffordshire Moorlands, she grows vegetables, raises lambs, and prioritizes home-grown, healthy food. Although not every family member would have chosen this path on their own, Wren’s determination and gentle leadership have created a nurturing environment based on fresh food, wide-open spaces, and mindful living.

Challenges and Rewards of Homeschooling

A big part of Wren’s lifestyle choices has been homeschooling her children. She discusses the rewards — like promoting independent thinking and creativity — but also acknowledges the challenges, such as feeling socially isolated at times. While some of her children have struggled with forging outside friendships, others have embraced their unique upbringing and are now homeschooling their own children.

Eating From Scratch and Going Back to Basics

Food is a major passion for Wren. Her shopping trolley is filled with ingredients, not products. She talks about her love of traditional food preparation — making yogurt, sprouting grains for bread, and even fermenting foods — a skill she first learned from her childhood. Wren explains why real salt, fresh vegetables, and homemade goods matter so much in maintaining long-term health and vitality.

Choosing a Different Path Without Regret

Wren reflects on how stepping away from mainstream norms sometimes made her and her family feel isolated, but she wouldn’t change it. She emphasizes that every person must find their own way and that making unconventional choices often requires courage. Although her path hasn’t always been easy, the joy and freedom it brings are priceless.

Homeopathy as a Lifeline

Wren shares how homeopathy became an essential part of her journey. Influenced by her mother’s herbal remedies and later inspired by firsthand experiences, she eventually trained as a homeopath herself. Homeopathy has given Wren the tools to support her family’s health naturally and avoid unnecessary pharmaceutical interventions. Now, she’s giving back to the community through her own podcast, Homeopathy is Changing Lives.
