  • Unusually authentic

    This show is unusually authentic. At first I thought it was a bit too strange and now I’m realize how defended I was about this open way of thinking. It’s like being at a campfire with others. You may have to put on your everyday face tomorrow but these brief conversations allow for unusual depth about the human condition. Thank you Jason for following your calling and encouraging us to do the same.

  • I can’t get past the pretentious photo of yourself in the cover

    Saintly look at-me posing rings shallow and contrived.

  • Bryan Ardis is kooky

    I have to admit I really love this podcast, but this most recent guest is a quack. I know Jason leans into Covid denial in his views, and I’m fine with him expressing his opinions because he gets guests that are kind and humble and though provoking and keep to the topic of plant medicine from a wholistic standpoint, but Bryan Ardis is a fraudulent blowhard who peddles Qanon quackery and is a chiropractor, not a medical doctor. As soon as he insisted he be called Dr. Ardis by Jason, I couldn’t ta... more

  • Thought provoking

    I appreciate that Jason interviews a wide variety of practitioners in the plant medicine and healing arts. I think often we can find ourselves in our own echo chambers of how a practice “should” be done or taught, and limit our experience to a narrow way of what we think is right. The guests on this podcast, while sharing some common beliefs and ideologies, also vary greatly from person to person as well. Even guests who may share the same culture or nationality can vary in their ways. I often d... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 183 - Thoryn Stephens - Plant Medicines, Consciousness, AI, Biology & Machines
Q: Can you speak a bit about yourself, about your journey in life and who you are, what you do and what happened in your life to get you to where you are now?
I grew up in San Francisco, always interested in science. My journey into plant medicines began at age 14 when I traveled to Ecuador and drank Wachuma for the first time, which opened a new avenue of consciousness for me.
Ep. 184 - Jason Grechanik - Iboga, Tobacco, & Plant Medicines
Q: What would be the ultimate, the most important question for you?
The ultimate question would be, 'Who am I?' which probes deeply into understanding the essence of one's being and existence.
Ep. 184 - Jason Grechanik - Iboga, Tobacco, & Plant Medicines
Q: Can you talk about some of your transformations and experiences with plant medicines?
Jason shares profound shifts in consciousness, describing his experiences with plants as life-changing, particularly ayahuasca, which connected him to higher consciousness and immense wisdom.
Ep. 182 - Dr Darren Schmidt DC - Metabolic Health, Nutrition, Detoxification, Parasites, & Medicine
Q: What do you think are beneficial detox practices?
There are several supplements such as diatomaceous earth and activated charcoal that aid in detoxification, but it has to be a continuous process over many months.
Ep. 182 - Dr Darren Schmidt DC - Metabolic Health, Nutrition, Detoxification, Parasites, & Medicine
Q: Can you speak a bit about the insurance industry and why you don't choose to take that?
The insurance system is problematic; it's focused on treatment rather than cures, and everything I do is more effective and, in fact, cheaper than traditional medical routes.
