Welcome to the Viriditas Life
Viriditas Life is a new YouTube lifestyle medicine docu-series hosted by Nicole Stewart-Selleck—a Holistic Practitioner and trained Master Herbalist, Certified Functional Nutrition & Health Coach, and Certified Functional Detoxification and Environmental Health Specialist. Viriditas Life is designed to help you bridge the gap between complex health science and simple, everyday actions. Whether in the studio or on the road exploring nature's beauty, the Viriditas Life team’s goal is to empower you to live a healthier, more vibrant life, no matter where you are on your health journey.
"Viriditas"—a Latin term popularized by ancient naturalist, herbalist and Catholic theologian, Hildegard von Bingen—represents the greening, creative vitality that pulses through nature and our own lives. Inspired by this philosophy, Nicole, also an herbalist and lover of wellness, fitness, nature and the outdoors, hopes to inspire and help everyday people like yourself to learn new and empowering ways to navigate modern health challenges.
After overcoming a near-catastrophic case of Lyme disease, the former Emmy Award-winning television journalist and media consultant, shifted her focus from a career in media to her own personal health journey, with the hope of empowering others along the way, to live healthier, better lives through functional, holistic practices.

Dr. Patrick Lynch is a doctor of Oriental medicine based in Oregon. He is a clinical herbalist, researcher and skilled body worker. Patrick is renowned for his innovative approach that helps people heal from complex chronic illness. Patrick cares for his patients and educates them why they are sick and how his treatment will help them return to health. Patrick specializes in guiding his patients with debilitating chronic illness back to full health, particularly people with autoimmune presentations, MCAS, Lyme disease, co-infections, mycotoxin, cancer, neurological disorders and other “phantom” diseases that have eluded diagnostic procedures from other health professionals.
In 2025, Patrick co-hosted a medical focused video podcast with Nicole, called The Chronic Report. Now, they are back together again for a new spin-off series from their original medical video podcast. This time Patrick and Nicole are teaming up to explore mystery illnesses and health issues that you the audience want to know all about, and how to best treat them. The twist? They will solve the case from both an Eastern and Western holistic medicine perspective, and will invite fellow health and medical experts from time to time to join in the dive. Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, this is where bold thinking meets thoughtful execution. Watch as they bring together the best alternative and allopathic medicine has to offer.

He had always been fascinated by electricity and electronics and had a long interest in natural health and trying to take care of his body as best as possible. So EMF consulting was a natural and perfect choice for Nate as a career and vocation. Nate is only one of few EMF specialists in the country, and has dedicated his life to consulting and educating home and business owners on how to best protect their health and live a cleaner and healthier life in a world that relies on electricity to run.
