Bonnie Rogers on Healthy Habits with Dori DeCarlo
Bonnie Rogers customized programs will transform not only your health, but also your approach to eating and your view of living a healthy lifestyle.
Bonnie Rogers is a dedicated practitioner of holistic wellness based in Briarcliff, NY. She integrates expertise in herbal medicine, wellness coaching, and biomagnetism therapy to provide comprehensive support for both individuals and pets seeking improved health.
After beginning her career as a CPA, Bonnie transitioned into the wellness field following significant personal experience: her eldest daughter’s challenges with Lyme disease, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and osteoporosis inspired a new professional direction. In response, she pursued formal training and credentialing as a clinical herbalist and wellness coach, along with immersive study in biomagnetism under Dr. Luis Garcia.
Bonnie is committed to helping clients achieve optimal well-being by addressing underlying causes of imbalance rather than focusing solely on symptom management. She emphasizes collaborative care, working closely with each client to tailor personalized plans aligned with their unique needs and circumstances.
A key aspect of her practice is the application of biomagnetism (magnetic pair therapy), which she employs to target internal imbalances and facilitate natural healing responses within the body. This modality complements her guidance in herbal therapies, nutrition, alkaline water intake, toxin reduction, and other lifestyle interventions, forming the foundation of her holistic programs.
Her approach prioritizes client-centered engagement, thorough assessment of physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors, and collaborative goal-setting, ensuring that care strategies are both effective and sustainable for each individual.

Hello, everyone, Welcome to today's Word of Mom Radio Here on the Word of Mom Media Network. I'm your host, Dori Di Carlo. And you know we are here a week after week, show after show breaking those myths that mopreneurs and business women. You know that we're just dabbling in business in between bake sales and getting our nails done. We're not. We are smart, we are savvy, and we are sharing the wisdom of women in business and in life. And I'm looking forward to bringing today's guest into our Healthy Habit show. Bonnie Rogers is a passionate advocate for holistic wellness dedicated to empowering individuals to reclaim their health and vitality. Based in Briarcliffe, New York, she brings together the wisdom of herbal medicine, wellness coaching, and biomagnetism therapy to support people and pets on their healing journeys. Originally working as a CPA, Bonnie bound her true calling following a personal health crisis in her family. Her eldest daughter's battle with lime disease, juvenile lumatoid arthritis, and later Hotchkins lymphoma and osteoporosis became the catalyst for Bonnie's transformation. With that profound shift, Bonnie redirected her professional life. She earned
1:34 credentials as a clinical herbalist and wellness coach and immersed herself in alternative healing modalities, most notably biomagnetism magnetic pair therapy under the mentorship of doctor Luis Garcia. Bonnie's mission is straightforward to help her clients feel their best by addressing the root causes of imbalance rather than nearly masking symptoms. She believes in partnering with each person, meeting them where they are and building a personalized plan that fits their life. And I can keep telling you more and more about Bonnie, but I really want to bring her into the show so she can share what biomagnetism is and how it can be such a boost and catalyst for your wellness.
2:29 So with all that being said, Bonnie, welcome to Word of Mom Radio. Thanks for having me. Oh, it's my pleasure, and I would really love for you to take us on that journey that led you to biomagnetism, and let's get into what it is. So you know, for many, many years I worked as an arbalist and I love it. But what I found, at least in my community, is that people wanted to pay their copey, go to the doctor, take a pill for their air, and not pay for consultations. And so it wasn't really a business anymore. It was really a hobby. And then I wasn't sure what I was going to be doing. So it wasn't the money issue. You know, my husband does well, but I love to help other people and I want to have a business with it.
3:09 What happened with the biomagnetism is I was working with somebody and we were on a zoom call with the supplier, and he wanted us to sell these magnets, and I had no idea what he wanted me to do. I was having a poblem in my arm, Like I sleep with my arm underneath my pillow so it's up. I could fall asleep and an hour later I would be in so much pain that I'd go downstairs and I'd sleep on the recliner chair because there was no pressure on my shoulders anymore. And for four months I was doing that. My husband was not a happy camper. And I was on this zoom call with this guy and I said to him, well, these magnets you sent me to try out help me with my shoulder. He said, yes, put these magnets in a certain place and do it for fifteen minutes and call me in a couple of days.
3:51 Let me know how you do. And so I placed these magnets for fifteen minutess on my neck somewhere and that night I slept in my bed all night long. It didn't happen again, and I was like, oh my god, what is this magic with these magnets. This is crazy. And I learned who he studied with happened to be Louis Carcia, who was a medical doctor, and he was training in New Jersey, which is only forty five minutes from me, and I was able to get a space in his training. That was six weeks later, and it was meant to be, I guess. And I did this training and then I was practicing on all these people I know, and I was getting crazy results just placing magnets. You're on a podcast and I'm holding these magnets in my hand just placing these magnets and certain places on their body. And I had somebody who called me the next day and said, oh my god, there's no more excitment on my hands. I had somebody who I said to them, did you ever have shingles? And she said yeah, And she says every morning that I get these like prickly pains in my cheek. And I said, well, I'm going to place the magnets for shingles. Let's see what happens.
4:50 And she never had those prickly pains again. And she does alternative heeling herself. And all these things started happening. And then I went to his advanced class and I learned more stuff and then started my business adding onto people and it's been magical. It's been really magical. But I work in person with people. But I also learned how to do remote healing, and so probably eighty percent of my practice right now is remote healing. So just like you can do reiki and you're using energy, magnets are energy. We live on a magnetic planet. We have magnetic energy in our body. Think about as electricity. Okay, we're all electric. Everything we do. It's just like you know, you can touch something and you get sparked. It's energy, and so I can do this remotely. You know, it's all about intention, It's about connecting myself with their energy field and just connecting them with their permission. And it's crazy.
5:40 I had a woman who came to me. Her daughter brought her to me, and she didn't speak English. I didn't realize that she was in a walker, and so my office is downstairs, so it brought her in through the garage and I got her on the table, but she was so stiff that I was trying to work with her legs and she would just straighten her legs. That really really hard in tests with that. And I finally looked at her daughter and I said, you know, I can't work with your mom. Take her home if you don't mind, I'm going to do this session remotely. And there's a woman who was dealing with back issues and a whole bunch of other stuff. And I did this session remotely and she'd touched her daughter. Oh my god, I can't believe that this woman can help me from wherever she is. And then I worked on her maybe about a month later, same thing happened, and then she just called me last week and she said, can you do another session on my mom? I said, well, I can do it on Monday because I'm I was busy last week. I have that session I'm going to do after I finished this podcast with you. And it's just wonderful because the people can be anywhere in the world.
6:38 I remember just trying to figure out how this thing worked, and I was working on a friend of mine who lives in North Carolina. She had really bad allergy, and she says, can you help me? I said maybe, and I said, just keep a box of tissues with you during the day. I'm going to work on you and call me later. So she calls me later. She says, I went through a whole box of tissues because I was dealing with, you know, all sin of stuff, and herlogies were gone the rest of that season. It was really pretty amazing. And maybe about a month or two later, she texts me. It's like ten thirty at night. She says, I have a friend who is a pastor and he's got gout and he's supposed to be traveling. Can you help him? I said, I don't know. Get his permission that I can work on his energy field and I get a text five minutes later that said go for it, And so I did, like ten minutes at night. It was ten thirty at night, I wasn't working, And the next morning I did a full session on him, and she gets a phone call a little while later that said, I don't know what your friend did, but I have no more pain. I never had to do a second session on him. So I find that I don't know for maybe forty percent of people, I only have to do one session.
7:39 I have to stop you, what are your sessions? What do you mean by what are my sessions? Well, how do you do a session on somebody? So when I'm working me okay, when I'm working in person with somebody, i have them lying on a table and I'm using their feet doing kinesiology. So I'm tapping their feet together. Yes, kinesiology is all about yes and no questions. And I have a list of different pathogens that I'm testing for, or different pairs that people have found that work for certain illnesses, and I'm testing all of those parrots. And then I'm going to be placing magnets on their body. When I work remotely, I'm working with the pendulum and I'm asking those same yes or no question, and if I get a positive, I'm writing them all down. And then I have a mannequin that I work on that I place the magnets on. I have it painted with magnetic paints so I don't have to tape it. I can just place them on. And it usually takes about me. I'd say the average is an hour and a half. Sometimes it can take me an hour. Sometimes it can take me two or three hours.
8:33 And I'm not charging anymore. I charge a flat fee. However long it takes me, it takes me. I don't like to play games. It sounds crazy, it sounds totally woo woo, and it just seems to work. You know, Explain just. What biomagnetism is, Okay, you know? Now? Is it is where you're placing magnets and what is it doing? How is it reconnecting things for you? I was actually talking to some learn about this the other day. Magnets, just like electricity, have voltage. I mean, you place a magnet on somebody. So, for example, if I'm looking for what I call a personal pair, which is not one of these standard pairs that I'm testing for, and if I'm asking the body, are there additional pairs that I need to place on this person that are personal pairs? And I might say yes, And so I'm looking for, you know, is the black one in the head, the neck, the thorax that abdmen blah blah blah. And then I have a whole list that I'm going through.
9:29 So if I place the person magnet in the body, you will see that the feet will move so that they're not even it's a muscle contraction. And then if I place the correct hair, it balances. And when somebody comes like with somebody, I'll go watch these feet and they're like, how did you do that? I'm like, I didn't do that. It's the electricity or the magnetic energy that's in that magnet that's making your body off balance. And when I place the other one on it, the red magnet on the body balances. So some people say the pH is balancing. Some people say you can't measure that. Some people say, you know, the vultage goes up here and then the voltage goes down here. It's all about the pair. I can't explain exactly how it works. Sometimes I just tell people it's like magic. Because what they're getting is they're getting the results. Whether it's a cold, a regular common cold, there are placements that I put on there. I have a client that I work with a lot of times who's got some type of genetic lung problem. It's natistic fibrosius, but it's very similar. And she's constantly getting injections at the hospital and you know, globulins and stuff, and she always seems to be reinfecting herself.
10:40 So it's maybe it's helping her lungs a little bit, but it's giving her all kinds of other issues. And so I'm constantly working on all of these issues because I love to say okay, I did a couple of sessions on her and she's great, but she's not but she's on you know, the doctors can't figure it out. In fact, she called me the other day and she said to me, you know, they want to keep putting me on all these meds, and yeah, I guess I have to be on these antibiotics. But you're the one that's making the difference for me. I said, well, we're going to keep doing that. She says, I said yes, And then you've got to also follow up with the things that I recommend, you know, whether it's an herb, whether it's certain foods to use. And she does sometimes and you know you can you can lead a horse to water, you can't make them drunk.
11:22 That's exactly right. And on that note, we're going to take a quick break. We're going to say thank you to our supporters, and we'll be back here in just a moment on Word of Mom Radio. She is brave, she is bold, she is you and we want to tell your story. Are you ready to share your journey with us on Word of Mom Radio? Go to wordomomradio dot com and register as a guest. We want to tell your story because when you win, we all win. In twenty seventeen, Unsilenced Voices was formed to help survivors of domestic abuse and gender based violence worldwide. The organization currently serves Siri Leone, Rwanda, Ghana, and the USA. In twenty twenty two, Unsilenced Voices gifted over thirty three thousand dollars to survivors in the USA and in Siri Leone.
12:20 There are over twenty six young girls who have been rescued from sex trafficking and domestic abuse and now going through vocational training school in order to better their lives. We need your help. Donations are critical in order for us to continue our work. We also need volunteers to help with research and development. Please visit Unsilenced Voices dot org for more information. And we're back here on Word of Mom Radio. We are speaking with Bonnie Rogers about biomagnetism and just holistic healing. And for me, you're preaching to the quo when it comes to herbs and doing things as organically and nutritionally all of it as possible. When you talked earlier about our bodies and the magnetism within our bodies electrical currents.
13:14 When I get a headache, I will drink a glass of water and then I'll put my hands. If I have a headache on the side of my head, I'll do it on either side. If it's front, I'll put a hand on the hand on the back, and then I'll just breathe and try to reconnect that electric current, because there's got to be a break in that current somewhere, and I just focus on breathing and getting that current back in its flow. So assuming that that's kind of what the biomagnetism does, as you were saying, I test. A lot of times for TBIs or traumatic brain injuries. Sorry, I've had five concussions, so right.
13:55 I remember being in one of my classes and the teacher was looking for people who had TBIs and ended up this woman who she must have been seventy years old at taking the class, and she used to be a gymnast, and I think he found something like twenty or twenty five TBIs. You know, she was the victim basically or whatever. She was the experiment that he had out there. And when he tested her this next day also and he could only find maybe ten, so he was able to clear those ten fifteen, and then he did some more work the next day. Because you can't necessarily clear everything the first time. It would be nice if you could just say, you know, we've gotten everything in one time. But TBIs, I mean there are people.
14:36 I had a young man here who had a big problem over here, and I was I worked on him a lot, and he's doing really great now. I could see again because of the electrical currents that are going on in your brain to reconnect things. My last concussion was just a few months ago, so and it was for me. Even though it was funny because it was avoiding an accident that it happened, it was the worst for me. Yeah, it took me longer to be able to read again, to be able to sit down at the computer. I was out for about five weeks. And again, I mean, you know, there's a big difference as you get older, and you know, and we just did a show not too long ago about not realizing that you've had traumatic brain injuries, how these concussions, these accidents, things like that as you're getting older. So again, the biomagnetism to me is just so fascinating because of the implications of being able to reconnect and think of all think.
15:35 Of all of all the kids that you know, the boys that are playing football and they're hitting their heads all the time. Yeah, you know, and then they've got all these problems afterwards. You know, I'd love to get them coming in when they're when they're practicing, because that would be really cool to get those things right at the beginning. But people have no idea what this is and how it could work. You know, sometimes it's too woo for people, and that's okay, you know what herbs work to all kinds of other things that you know, we're doing work their. Work, you know what, Bonnie, Let's face it. Every medication that there is on the shelf started out as an herb or a plant or a berry. And if they found out tomorrow that parsley cured cancer, instead of telling you to plant parsley everywhere and use it on everything, they put it in a pill. I'm coming in. How do you evaluate me, Bonnie? And let me know what I need?
16:24 Right? How do I evaluate you? I mean when I want When I have somebody coming to me, I send them a questionnaire first, and it's you know at the beginning, it says, tell me a story, you know from the beginning to the end. Did I want to know what's going on? You know, what's what's going on? And I ask all kinds of other questions. Some of them I just check your box. Some of them are give me you know the story of what's going on. And I actually try not even to look at that until after I've seen the person, because I want to. I want to hear what their body shows tells me first, and then I'll look at it afterwards and say, oh did I miss I might look at it while they're actually on the table, and if I miss something, I may test again for it, and sometimes it's not. I'm finding something else that may be underlying it. So almost like you talk to people about who have a head line and then they say, I know I have lime, I have all the symptoms, but the blood tests don't show that I have line because they say lime hide. Soa many many other bacteria, viruses, molds, they hide. They're under the layers. It's imagine peeling an onion, and it's not at the top layer. Maybe it's on the fifth layer.
17:30 So what we find a lot of times is that when someone comes to us and they think they have line, we may not find it. I may find it in the third or fourth visit, because all of a sudden, I've cleared other stuff to move those first layers off, and all of a sudden, boom, it's there. And so sometimes you're giving you're doing some magnets for the symptoms that they're having which you haven't connected yet with whatever that quote pathogen is. When I talk about pathogens, they could be viruses, bacteria, molds, parasites, and they're stuck in people's bodies. So the doctors says, you think you have parasites, will do a stool sample, but guess what, if they're not in your colon, you're not going to find them, and they're all over the body. You know, people in this country believe they don't have parasites, but only dogs and cats have parasites. Well, welcome to the world. Everybody has parasite. You eat a vegetable, you eat a piece of meat, you have sushi. It's in your body. It's if your body's immune system is strong enough to get rid of it. Trying to figure out what's going on with the person, you know, and if they do, I'm going to clear it. I'm going to try and clear it with a magnets and I may recommend they do a parasite cleanse.
18:35 What's a parasite cleanse? How do you do that? You might be using chlorine dioxide solution, which I can talk about. You might be using certain herbs, you know, wormwood or what have you, and I test different things. Some people do coffee, animals, There's all kinds of things. It's about, you know, getting everything out of your body so that your body can work at the oximol that it's supposed to be working and not having a parasite in there destroying it. Okay, but that five people are using ivermectin and they using fem benzozol. They're using things that that you're not going to get from the medical community, or not most of the medical community. They'll tell you don't have parasites, and they'll give you some of the kind of hell for it.
19:19 I have three children, and I was very, very fortunate that the pediatricians I had really respected that. I wanted, you know, am I going to take an antibiotic when you have strep throat apps of flipping lootely? But if you take medicine for every single thing that bothers you, how is medicine ever going to work, you know, as opposed to keeping your body healthy. So they would tell me, you know, go to the apothecary, get this, get that. And the funniest I'll never forget. My daughter was four and she coughed. Her dad was picking her up and he said to her, Oh, we'll go to CBS and get you some Try a minute, and she looked at him and she's like, has mommy taught me nothing? You'll take me to this store, I'll talk to the pathec carry and they'll let me know what I need. And there is my children's dad six foot three. Oh okay, honey.
20:05 You know, it's a really place. But it's really important. For example, echination. You might have taken echination. What people don't realize is that if you take echination in a pill form, you might as well throw it in the garbage because it doesn't work. You need to take it in a tincture form, which is the herb that's been put into alcohol to extract out the medicine. But if you just take one dropper of it, it's not going to do anything. Like if you just get say you take a tea spoon every few hours and then you can you know, drop it that over the next few days. But people don't realize that. They think if they go into the health food store and they ask a minimum wage worker who's working there what to do, they're going to get the right answer. Guess what they're not, which is where the herbal work that I've done comes in.
20:50 You know what, it's hard, and again that's I've worked with a homeopathic doctor for a really long time. I haven't been six since two thousand and eight where I had to take anything. I love tees. I'm a huge tea fan. I will throw anything for myself that is going to help with my muscles, with my stomach, with anything. I just am a firm believer that if you keep the nutrients in your body. I rotate my vitamins that I take through a whole cycle another thing. So I'm constantly every three months, I kind of do my swish around of what I do to try to just keep gon going. Make your body healthy. It's like, I mean, you know, I'm on a zoom call right now. This is only a podcast, but behind me is a lot of herbs that you can see, and I'm doing this, you know, whether it's for me or whether it's for clients. You know, I'm using the herbs all the time with them.
21:42 You know what I think as we get more and more quote unquote intelligent people are really starting to realize these are the best ways to be because if you keep putting QUD it's like all the diet pills and all of these things that are out there, it's not encouraging your body to produce and give you what it needs. It's a false sense of anything. And everything out there is laced with sugar, sugar, sugar and more sugar, and that's not good, you know. And then they all, they all say to you, stay off of salt. But our bodies need salt, right, we really need so we don't need to have, you know, extensive amount, but we all need salt. So, you know, going on salt tree everything is a problem because it causes more illness.
22:26 Right. The body is a fascinating thing, it really is. And everything that you can do nutritionally. You know, way back in the day, being organic cost a fortune. It was so much more. It was you know, it was not twenty cents thirty cents, it was dollars dollars more. Whereas now there are great stores out there. I'm a huge trader, chosephir eating organic. You're worth that extra money. You really are worth that extra money. I remember when my children were younger, and I also have three children, and I would buy organic milk only, and my friends would say to me, why would you and all that money on organic milk? I said, I can't afford to go out for dinner this month, so be it. I'm gonna get the most the healthiest food that I can get and my kids are older, and you couldn't get that much organic stuff. You did the best you could, but it wasn't that much available. I remember having a co op that they used to bring all this stuff here and we you used to bag it for fifteen families and everybody had my garage dough codes and.
23:23 I was in a food go up for a while. We used to rotate and again so you could get good healthy food. And it's important. I have a huge garden, and not now because right now you know it's put to sleep or in New York. But we have a garden. It's enormous. My whole front yard. I love frontyard gardens, I really do. I love my backyard had all shade from the trees that are people's behind me. Well you know what, front yard gardens encourage more front yard gardens. I love it. Which are you know? It's things like that. As we are wrapping up, Bonnie, what would you like to leave our listeners with and how may they reach out to you? Well, they can reach out to me at bonnie'serbles dot com.
24:03 If they want to go directly into the magnet page, they can go to bonnie'serbals dot com slash magnets or they can see whatever else I have on the website. What I want to leave them with is that magnets are an energy and we can work with magnets to help you clean up your body, help you with symptoms that you might be having, whether it's remote or whether it's in person. I'm in Briarcliffe in Westchester County in New York, and it makes a huge difference without having to go using medications. You know, there's no guarantees and anything's going to work. You know, whether it's a simple thing a ghollstone or a kidney stone, or a headache, or you know, your coughing and you have all kinds of other stuff. Think about using biomagnetism to really shift your life. And I can be reached if you go on the website and my email's right on the website.
24:57 All of Bonnie's links are going to be live on Word of momradio dot com. You know what reach out because learning about alternative medicines and the alternative ways to reignite your body is a really good thing to learn. So Bonnie, thank you so much for taking the time to come and share your journey with us. I think people are going to find it really interesting. I really do. Thank you for having me.

Bonnie Rogers is a passionate advocate for holistic wellness, dedicated to empowering individuals to reclaim their health and vitality. Based in Briarcliff, NY,
she brings together the wisdom of herbal medicine, wellness coaching, and biomagnetism therapy to support people (and pets) on their healing journeys.
Originally working as a CPA, Bonnie found her true calling following a personal health-crisis in her family: her eldest daughter’s battle with Lyme disease,
juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and later Hodgkin’s lymphoma and osteoporosis became the catalyst for Bonnie’s transformation.
With that profound shift, Bonnie redirected her professional life: she earned credentials as a clinical herbalist and wellness coach, and immersed herself in
alternative healing modalities—most notably biomagnetism (magnetic pair therapy) under the mentorship of Dr. Luis Garcia
Bonnie’s mission is straightforward yet profound: to help her clients feel their best by addressing the root causes of imbalance rather than merely masking
symptoms. She believes in partnering with each person, meeting them where they are, and building a personalized plan that fits their life.
A distinguishing feature of Bonnie’s work is her role as a biomagnetism practitioner. In her practice, she uses paired magnets (magnetic pair therapy) to
address internal imbalances and support the body’s natural healing processes. For Bonnie, biomagnetism isn’t a stand-alone modality—it complements her
herbal and nutritional work. She integrates it with advice on whole … Read More
