Sierra Mead built South Summit, the Southern Utah Holistic Health Summit, out of her own long search for answers her body wasn't getting from conventional care. She brought that story to Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour for a conversation about women's health, natural wellness, and what it took to create an event where people could learn directly from voices in the holistic health space.
The conversation traces Sierra Mead's path from years of digestive issues and endometriosis to a full lifestyle overhaul, then widens into hydration, mold exposure, oral health, and why she believes in-person community can make a healing journey feel less isolating.
About Sierra Mead
Sierra Mead is the founder of South Summit, an in-person holistic health event held in Southern Utah that brings together educators and practitioners covering topics from women's cycles to nervous system regulation. She built the summit after her own extended struggle with chronic digestive issues and endometriosis pushed her to look beyond standard medical answers.
Her search led her to follow a range of natural-health educators and practitioners, and she has structured South Summit around the kind of direct, in-person learning she found valuable in her own recovery. She designed the event without breakout sessions so attendees can hear every speaker together.
