Dr. Ross brings a unique perspective as a Board-Certified Polarity Practitioner (BCPP), Registered Polarity Educator (RPE), and biophysicist. She holds bachelor’s degrees in both psychology and physics from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and a PhD in Energy Medicine from Akamai University. Her doctoral research focused on the therapeutic effects of low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) on inflammation, immune function, and pain biomarkers. She also served as a biophysicist at the Wake Forest School of Medicine, studying PEMF effects on cell communication and signal transduction, and continues to consult on clinical trials investigating frequency-based therapies.

Together, we created a trilogy that examines health and wellness from a biophysical lens, showing how energy medicine empowers self-care long before symptoms appear. Each episode is paired with a tea from the Cape Breton Tea Company, chosen for its spiritual essence and healing properties.

Episode 1: The Biophysics of Energy Medicine

Theme: How subtle energy modulates cells and molecules, and how biophysics points us toward whole-person wellbeing.

• Explore how cells communicate through receptors and energy fields.
• Learn how subtle energy influences cellular signaling and molecular function.
• Discover self-care routines grounded in vibrational awareness.

Featured Tea: Marvelous Miss Maple
“Life is truly sweeter when you can drink Maple Syrup.”
A black tea blend with maple and calendula petals, offering both vitality and reflection. Black tea supports focus and circulation, while the spiritual essence of maple inspires grounding sweetness and calendula petals encourage renewal and clarity.

Episode 2: Quantum Change and the Biofield

Theme: How energy medicine transforms health through the biofield, chakras, and hara line—bringing balance and flow at the ultrasonic core.

• Understand how the human energy field connects to whole-body balance.
• Explore how hands-on subtle energy work can harmonize chakras and meridians.
• Learn how quantum change supports deep release, resilience, and vitality.

Featured Tea: Island VitaliTEA
“Be inspired by the power of nature that surrounds you, rest and release into healing.”
This blend of rosehip and cranberry holds a spiritual connection to the energy field. Rosehip nourishes with brightness and vitality, while cranberry clears, strengthens, and protects the flow of subtle energy.

Episode 3: Musculoskeletal Regeneration through Frequency

Theme: The power of frequency and field intensity to support regeneration, reduce inflammation, and enhance self-care.

• Explore how frequencies act as blueprints for cellular and tissue repair.
• Learn about PEMF, ultrasound, and vibrational therapies in musculoskeletal health.
• Discover how energy practices like Tai Chi and meditation support everyday regeneration.

Featured Tea: Golden SereniTEA
“Soften the desire to push through. With confidence and an authentic self-love welcome peace within.”
A calming blend of green tea and lemon balm. Green tea offers renewal and antioxidant strength, while lemon balm carries a spiritual essence of release and peace—together creating a ritual for restoration.

Why This Trilogy Matters

By weaving together science, spirit, and self-care, this trilogy reveals how energy medicine and biophysics expand our understanding of health. Rather than waiting for symptoms, we are invited to step into practices that harmonize our energy field, strengthen resilience, and encourage regeneration from within.

The Power of Tea in the Podcast Episodes

The teas enrich this exploration, providing both physiological support and a deeper spiritual resonance—reminding us that even simple daily rituals can profoundly shift our wellbeing. You can find them in the shop here.

Episode 1 – Marvelous Miss Maple

“Life is truly sweeter when you can drink Maple Syrup.”
This black tea blend celebrates vitality and grounding. The boldness of black tea supports focus, circulation, and mental clarity, while its spiritual essence connects us to strength and perseverance. Maple brings a gentle sweetness that reflects resilience and rootedness, reminding us to savor life’s richness. Calendula petals add a touch of renewal, encouraging clarity, hope, and the brightening of energy fields. Together, this blend uplifts while keeping us centered.

Episode 2 – Island VitaliTEA

“Be inspired by the power of nature that surrounds you, rest and release into healing.”
A restorative infusion of rosehip and cranberry, this tea reflects both vibrancy and cleansing. Rosehip nourishes with vitamin C and antioxidants while its spiritual essence inspires brightness, vitality, and openness to flow.

How often do you pause and ask, “What do I need today?”
In a world where caregiving—whether for family, friends, clients, or community—is both a noble calling and a daily responsibility, the answer is often, “I don’t have time.”

In the latest episode of “Be Well with Dr. Michelle Greenwell,” the focus turns inward in a powerful way. Dr. Michelle explores what it truly means to prioritize your own wellbeing and how doing so is not only vital for your health but also essential for how effectively you can support others.

At the heart of this conversation is the understanding that self-care is not a luxury—it is a lifeline.

Tea as a Tool for Transformation

This episode is steeped—quite literally—with the healing properties of Lucky Dragon Green Tea. Known for its high levels of antioxidants and rich micronutrients, this tea isn’t just a beverage; it’s a ritual, a moment of pause, a conscious invitation to reconnect with your body and breath.

When paired with intentional sips and mindful breathing, tea becomes a gateway to awareness and replenishment. It gently awakens the senses and provides clarity and calm—qualities every caregiver deeply needs and deserves.

Green tea also supports cellular rejuvenation, mental focus, and emotional balance. And in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s long been revered as a harmonizer of the body’s energy systems, making it the perfect partner for this episode’s theme.

As a shout-out, the Lucky Dragon Green Tea is part of the Wine Country Tai Chi Society tea breaks. Okanagan, BC, loves to shine a light on the unique recipe of green tea and grape leaves and hint of cherry flavour, paying homage to the vineyards and orchards in the area.

Wisdom from My Little Black Book of Qi: Qi YINtegration

Dr. Michelle draws on insights from her double award-winning book and program, My Little Black Book of Qi: Qi YINtegration, sharing tools and energy-based practices that support you in creating sustainable wellness habits. This includes body awareness techniques, energetic resets, and Qi-based exercises that are simple yet profoundly effective in reducing stress and building resilience.

By embodying these principles, caregivers can reclaim a sense of vitality, grounding, and purpose. When your cup is full, your capacity to give—to nurture, to listen, to lead—expands exponentially.

Dr Michelle shares a bit more about her involvement in Tai Chi, teaching from the heart, and the power of regular practice to support yourself and your community. She is a part of the Tai Chi Cape Breton club which practices in Inverness, Mabou, and Creignish weekly, as well as on her online class with intuitive musician, Colin MacLeod on Tuesdays, (you can sign up in the shop!!). Wine Country Tai Chi Society is also a part of her offerings as she hosts an annual wellness retreat for their club in the spring. Your self-care opportunities are within reach.

Self-Care as a Gift to Your Community

What’s most inspiring about this episode is the connection between individual wellness and collective wellbeing. When we each take responsibility for our own energy, we ripple out a more grounded, present, and compassionate vibration into the spaces we inhabit.

Self-care becomes a gift to community, not just a private act. A nourished caregiver models healthy boundaries, inspires others to slow down, and often becomes a catalyst for deeper connection and healing.

So today, brew yourself a cup of Lucky Dragon Green Tea. Set an intention. Sit quietly. Sip with reverence.

And remember: You are worth the pause.

A Family Steeped in Tea The story of the Cape Breton Tea Company is one of passion, connection, and a love for tea that spans generations. It all began when Michellie Greenwell became fascinated with loose-leaf tea, inspiring her mother, Michelle, to dive deeper into the world of tea.

Michellie’s journey led her to a tea sommelier course and work in a tea shop, where her expertise and curiosity helped shape the foundation of what would become the Cape Breton Tea Company. From the very beginning, Michellie played a vital role—helping create the initial blends, taste-testing, and consulting over the years.

She was also instrumental in developing the Natalie MacMaster Set, a collection that celebrates tradition, music, and the art of tea blending.

Launching this week: Michellie’s Matcha Mixes!
