There are so many. 79 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 3: Pathways and crevices and places that we can go, but 80 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: coming back to our authentic selves through nature and the 81 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: wisdom of herbs. Like wow, you know, I think something 82 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,679 Speaker 3: that I share on this show a lot that even 83 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 3: in some of the challenge and hardship around all the 84 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 3: stresses that our body goes through in today's day and age, 85 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 3: both environmental stresses to the actual stress of being alive 86 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: and the challenges that are happening around us. You know, 87 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: this idea, especially now, of connecting with your authentic self, 88 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 3: I think for some people feels both really inspiring and 89 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 3: also feels really out of reach, because you say, how 90 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: do I even kind of get into that GUI center 91 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: when I have to fight through all the walls that 92 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 3: I'm building up just to get through my day? 93 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: What is the pathway to that? 94 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 4: You know? I believe that pathway is always found through nature, 95 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 4: and no matter where you live, in who you are, 96 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 4: you can always come back to nature. It can be 97 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 4: a moment of sitting in a patch of grass in 98 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 4: your backyard and looking up at the stars after a 99 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 4: really long day. It can be a walk around the 100 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 4: block where you hear the birds singing, or you maybe 101 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 4: notice a plant blooming, or this time of year the 102 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 4: leaves changing. 103 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 5: But we are part of nature. 104 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 4: We have been, We've co evolved in the natural world 105 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 4: with plants forever, and so when we come back to nature, 106 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 4: we come back home to ourselves. Yeah, and so it 107 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 4: doesn't have to be too complicated, And I get that, 108 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 4: like coming home to your authentic self, that could feel 109 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 4: a bit overwhelming. 110 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: It feels like big work. 111 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 5: It feels like big work. 112 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 4: And I think it is in its big opportunity. And 113 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 4: I would say the place to start is getting grounded 114 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 4: with who you really are and just returning to the 115 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 4: natural world and returning to nature in whatever way that 116 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 4: looks like. And I do believe that no matter who 117 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 4: you are and where you live, you can find those 118 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 4: small moments to do that. 119 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, truly. 120 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 3: I mean even in cities like New York. Right, it 121 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 3: may be like a much smaller park, but it is 122 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 3: access to green, it is access to soil, It is 123 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 3: access to even the sense that plants make when they're 124 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 3: you know, breaking down on the ground and everything else 125 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 3: around it. Something you said I find so fascinating because 126 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 3: I don't know if I've ever really looked at evolution 127 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 3: in those terms, you know, Like I think about how 128 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 3: humans evolve, and we've been taught that in school. Sure, 129 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 3: we think about how, you know, different speed sees of 130 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 3: animals have evolved over time. 131 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: We've learned that. 132 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: But this idea that like also plants, like the actual earth, 133 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 3: the green, the soil, it's been evolving next to us 134 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 3: at the same time. What does that mean and how 135 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 3: has that worked? And like, what are plants becoming? 136 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 4: Well, they've been evolving next to us. An excellent question, 137 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 4: and we've been such a part of it. And so 138 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 4: you can look at ancient texts from literally all over 139 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 4: the world. It's one of my favorite things to learn 140 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 4: about and also talk about, is sort of this ancient 141 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 4: wisdom and how it applies in modern times. And so 142 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 4: when you look at writings, you'll see that whether it's 143 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 4: Hippocrates or whether it's Ayurvedic medicine in India, words have 144 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 4: been written about these plants, uses of how the plants 145 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 4: were utilized, in how people existed with the plants, and 146 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 4: they're in poems, they're in literature, they're science, and so 147 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 4: people were intimately connected with these plants in the past. 148 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 4: And often what we find is that modern science is 149 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 4: validating what the traditional new use of a plant was, 150 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 4: and so people were aware of that long before now, 151 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 4: and so it's almost really a return to plant wisdom. 152 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 4: And I really like to look at plants on the continuum. 153 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 4: I think it helps people understand. All of us are 154 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 4: really familiar with nutrition. Yeah, we know, for example, blueberries 155 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 4: are very healthy for us and blueberries have a beautiful 156 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 4: blue color from a compound called antiscionins, And so we 157 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 4: know about things like that, you know, nutrition, phytonutrients. Certain 158 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 4: plants are high in vitamin C, and so when you 159 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 4: look at the continuum of plants as nutrition to really 160 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 4: plants is herbal remedies and it's still plant power. And 161 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 4: one of the things I really return to is I 162 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 4: believe in the power of plants. I mean, I believe 163 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 4: in the power of people. And I think that the 164 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 4: power of plants and the power of people can come 165 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 4: together and it's like this really exciting, largely untapped world 166 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 4: that some people are utilizing on a regular basis, but 167 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 4: many people aren't.

You know, I talk about the power plants, 204 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 4: but I also believe that knowledge is power, and when 205 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 4: we can help give people tools and information, there's actually 206 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 4: nothing that gets me more excited because it's just like 207 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 4: this metamorphosis that can happen in people. 208 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, totally. 209 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 3: You know, so as are kind of like, really we're 210 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 3: moving into some juicy parts of this interview.

I think, you know, without having 214 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 3: a lifestyle that really holds up those deeper goals and 215 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 3: desires we have for ourselves on these journeys that we 216 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 3: take ourselves on, you know, the work remains incomplete.

Because I think 233 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 4: there's like this element of calming and also restoring. 234 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 5: And so you could be. 235 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 4: Someone that's doing the work of meditating and yoga and 236 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 4: some of these practices that you talk about in your 237 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 4: book and that both you and I do on a 238 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 4: daily basis, and then the plants, like a plant like 239 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 4: milky oats, milky oat tops can really then soothe and 240 00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 4: nurture your nervous system. And then there's a bigger formula 241 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 4: that contains that and more called emotional ally. An emotional 242 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 4: ally is just that it's an ally in those times 243 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 4: of stress or duress that can really help you and 244 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 4: help guide and soothe their nervous system while you're doing 245 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 4: that inter work.

Like you know, 342 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 3: some terms that a lot of us are used to 343 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 3: hearing now are things like fight or flight that that 344 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 3: happens when stress happens, or you know, your cortisol levels rise. 345 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 3: What is happening in your body and what is the 346 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 3: herb doing to your body to create. 347 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: A different experience grit. 348 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 5: That is a great question. 349 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 4: So first I kind of want to reframe for a 350 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 4: minute of our stress response is intended to protect us, 351 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 4: because not all stress is bad necessarily or good. It's 352 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 4: just we haven't We have an innate stress response. It's 353 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 4: hardwired into our system. And fight or flight, which we 354 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 4: often talk about, is a negative thing because in modern 355 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 4: times we experienced it over and over, but really it's 356 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 4: intended to save us. So we all probably had a 357 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 4: moment when maybe actually, I just had one the other 358 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 4: day where someone was merging onto excuse me, onto the 359 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 4: road and they I don't know, they just didn't see me, 360 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, they were sort of merging 361 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 4: into my car, and I just moved really quickly without 362 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 4: even thinking about it. 363 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 5: I just moved like immediately. My heart was pounding and 364 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 5: all the things. 365 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 4: I got really sweaty, but I did exactly what they 366 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 4: needed to do, and there wasn't a car accident, and 367 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 4: thank goodness, everyone was fine. 368 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 5: So we can all think of a moment. 369 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 4: Or make the moments where our stress response has protected us. 370 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 3: Thank you for explaining it like that, because yeah, there 371 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 3: is like, let's have some respect for you know, the 372 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 3: way our body is meeting that need. 373 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, you got it, because we're really elegantly designed to 374 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 4: do those things. So what happens in modern and keep 375 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 4: saying modern times, but we're not facing a tiger. I 376 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 4: mean these kind of like these the proverbial fighter flight 377 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 4: where there was a true real. 378 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: Threat you're gonna get eaten. 379 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, so that's not happening. 380 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 4: But what we don't do is then you are supposed 381 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 4: to ideally go into fight or flight and then come 382 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 4: back to not exactly homeostasis, but the more relaxed rest 383 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 4: and digest state. And that's why parasympathetic mode is called 384 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 4: rest and digest. If you're in that fighter flight state 385 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 4: over and over for now, it gets triggered about you know, 386 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 4: I just was lucky enough to fly here to day 387 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 4: to be with you. But it could get triggered by 388 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 4: you know, I'm late for my flight right right, or 389 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 4: I have got a work deadline, or I just had 390 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 4: a you know, fight with my significant other, and we 391 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 4: just trigger it over and over. And what happens over 392 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 4: time is that we go even beyond the adrenaline of 393 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 4: fight or flight to cortisol. And so cortisol A lot 394 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 4: of people know about cortisol, but they might wonder what 395 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 4: exactly is going on. This is when really our stress 396 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 4: response is activated long term and we have high cortisol 397 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 4: and it leads to a whole host of issues that 398 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 4: we could talk about now and maybe even its own podcast. 399 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 4: But it really relates to our immune system not working 400 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 4: as well. Is it needs to sleep issues, poor concentration. 401 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 4: It really messes with our energy levels. It affects our 402 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 4: cardiovascular system. I mean, really, Debbie the list goes on, 403 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 4: and so I want us to respect our stress response, 404 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 4: but they also want us to take it seriously because 405 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 4: I think a lot of times we almost override our ourselves, 406 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 4: we override our nervous system. We just say I got 407 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 4: to get this done and then maybe I'll rest next week, 408 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 4: next month, next year. But our invitation now is to 409 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 4: really say, you know what, we can do this better today. 410 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: Oh that's so that. 411 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just so deeply true because that piece 412 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 3: especially of like I can get to it next year, 413 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 3: or like I'll get to whatever it. 414 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: Is when the stress comes down. 415 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 3: And I think something that we're all as a species 416 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 3: learning to navigate is well, stress may be the constant, 417 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 3: you know, it really may be in this world that 418 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 3: we're all trying to we're living into worlds. We're living 419 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 3: in our technology world, we're living in kind of our 420 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,719 Speaker 3: natural life. But that's going to stress our you know, 421 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 3: absolutely highly intelligent, genius, miraculous human bodies and brains out 422 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 3: you know, we weren't designed to do as much as 423 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 3: we're doing right now now. 424 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: So I really love that. 425 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 3: I love the framing of that because again, like these 426 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 3: are the things that we do have control over and 427 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 3: these are the ways we can really develop profound learning 428 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 3: about our own bodies, like studying how your body responds 429 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 3: and then knowing how to. 430 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: Meet the need and what to meet the need with. 431 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 4: Yes, it's both, and I think it's a combination. Yeah, 432 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 4: of I do soft belly you know, deep belly breathing 433 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 4: to try to really activate the vagus nerve and bring 434 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 4: that parasympathetic mode. I do that really intentionally on a 435 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 4: daily basis. And so it's not you know, as a 436 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 4: natraatic doctor, I'm always thinking of the whole picture. So 437 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 4: the herbs are such valuable allies and think you were 438 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 4: asking about you know, they have really specific constituents in them, 439 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 4: but yeah, help calm the nervous system. Sometimes there there's 440 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 4: an interplay with neurotransmitters even like gabba or serotonin. I mean, 441 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 4: there's really these profound ways that they're helping our system 442 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 4: on a phytochemistry level, and so there is science to it. 443 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 4: It's so I think sometimes people wonder how are they 444 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 4: working well? They have they all the different plants have constituents. 445 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: What does that mean? 446 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 4: Constituents sort of like Okay, I think of one that 447 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 4: a lot of people know so turmeric. Yeah, Tumeric is 448 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 4: this gorgeous orange root really a riz on that's related 449 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,959 Speaker 4: to ginger. And so you've probably heard of kirkcumin. Yeah, 450 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 4: but kircumin is not turmeric. Kircumin is a part of tumeric. 451 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 4: It's a compound in tumeric. So all of these plants 452 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 4: have different compounds in them. 453 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 5: Does that mean? 454 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 4: So, so there's the plant itself, and then there's all 455 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 4: the pieces of the plant. There's all the parts of 456 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 4: the plant. It's a little bit analogous to there's broccoli 457 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 4: and then there's vitamin C actually in broccoli. There's also 458 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 4: public acid in broccoli. That the herbs are similar, it's 459 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 4: just some of their constituents like curcumin or something may 460 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 4: not be as well known, but they have like holy 461 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:32,239 Speaker 4: basil has or solic acid, ashwaganda has something called wa 462 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 4: thanolides that a lot of you know, it's kind of. 463 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 5: Like a marker. 464 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 4: And so these are different like parts of the plant, 465 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 4: and some of the parts, like curcumin and tumeric is 466 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 4: very widely studied. The wathanolides and are very highly studied, 467 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 4: and some of them are more study than others. 468 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: Well, it's in and it's interesting too. Because especially the last. 469 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 3: Handful of herbs you named, you know, use you've been 470 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 3: seeing those names since antiquity, you know, like Holy Basil, 471 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 3: like Ashwagonda especially, you know in my like that the 472 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 3: dating back of that as such a useful tool for 473 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 3: the human you know, the human body. It's been very documented. 474 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 3: Are we seeing you know what is it that's happening 475 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 3: right now? Or even in the last maybe forty fifty 476 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 3: years where it almost felt like there was like a 477 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 3: pushing away of like no, all of that stuff, no, 478 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 3: go this way, you know, go into more of it, 479 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 3: the industrial complex of medicine, and then now we're seeing like, 480 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 3: oh my god, no, all these things like they've always worked, 481 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 3: they still work. 482 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: What are you noticing? 483 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 4: So what I'm really noticing is that people want to 484 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 4: be more connected to there what they're taking in their bodies. 485 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 4: So if we even just look at the resurgence of farmers' markets. 486 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I was just talking about that. That's so funny, 487 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: you are. 488 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's happening because it's exciting to know these carrots 489 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 4: were grown at a farm fiften to fifteen miles from here. 490 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 5: I'm meeting this farmer.

And I think working with products like this, 613 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 3: it really gives you that opportunity to start learning yourself, 614 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 3: to start knowing, you know, how how that inner space 615 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 3: really works, what's going on in there, and then to 616 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 3: how to develop because I think with anything new that 617 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 3: we try, and I hope I'm drilling this home in 618 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 3: the right way for whoever needs to hear it, to 619 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 3: really hear it, know that it can absolutely be valid 620 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 3: that it feels overwhelming to learn how to care for 621 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 3: yourself and care about yourself. That is a big part 622 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 3: of what the journey is, what the work is. But 623 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 3: especially when you're noticing pains or discomforts or anxiety in 624 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 3: your body, that can be really challenging and it can 625 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 3: bring up a lot of judgments. But I think it's 626 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 3: so important for us to know that when you start 627 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 3: this journey, you have the rest of your life to 628 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 3: learn it. You don't have to figure all of this out, 629 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 3: you don't have to know every name for everything and 630 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 3: where it goes and what it does.

We have this incredible capacity to grow 869 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 4: and change. 870 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,720 Speaker 5: It is in so true every. 871 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:56,480 Speaker 4: Single person on this planet. And I am fortunate to 872 00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,880 Speaker 4: see it all the time, and so I really do 873 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,359 Speaker 4: believe in you know, these for example, that every day 874 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,680 Speaker 4: is you start, every moment is honestly, and you start, 875 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,080 Speaker 4: you wake up in the morning, it's a fresh day. 876 00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 4: Like we we can do that, and it often happens 877 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,480 Speaker 4: not in some kind of overnight change, but in these 878 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 4: these steps that we can take, these moments where we 879 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 4: maybe start to actually meditate and we only start for 880 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,120 Speaker 4: like ten minutes a day in the morning, but we 881 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,840 Speaker 4: do it, and we show up and we meditate, or 882 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 4: then we maybe integrate an urbal tincture into our lives 883 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 4: that makes us feel better or even like one of 884 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,120 Speaker 4: the things I love about liquid bliss, I think is 885 00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:46,320 Speaker 4: this it sort of invites a little more joy more joyful, 886 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 4: and then that's good. And then maybe we just we 887 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:54,400 Speaker 4: eat a healthy breakfast, or maybe we don't eat breakfast 888 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,799 Speaker 4: because life is crazy, but we eat a healthy once 889 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,879 Speaker 4: you know, it's like, yeah, we just try to like these, 890 00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 4: like these micro moments, and then we will find ourselves, yes, 891 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,879 Speaker 4: actually truly changing. And it. 892 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 5: Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter where anyone is in their life. 893 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,439 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter how young old they can do it. 894 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:23,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, yes we can. Doctor Aaron. 895 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,600 Speaker 3: I love how your work reminds people that healing is 896 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 3: not about fixing. 897 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:30,360 Speaker 1: It is about. 898 00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 3: Remembering what's already inside of us, and then finding the 899 00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:37,880 Speaker 3: support and the companion in all of our allies and 900 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:42,080 Speaker 3: the earth and in nature that bring everything else to 901 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 3: bloom inside of us. Before we wrap up this beautiful episode, 902 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 3: what is one practice or plant ally that you think 903 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:55,640 Speaker 3: that everyone could begin incorporating today to help them feel 904 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 3: more grounded, authentic and deeply. 905 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 4: Well, wow, that is an excellent question. I don't so 906 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:10,479 Speaker 4: it's interesting for me because the nature of the work 907 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,879 Speaker 4: that I do is not really one size fits all, 908 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,479 Speaker 4: and so it's hard for me to say one thing, 909 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:23,640 Speaker 4: but I do will say I'll say, first like a practice, 910 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,239 Speaker 4: and then I'm going to say a plant to answer question. 911 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,359 Speaker 1: Perfect, yes, give us the soul work. 912 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, So for practice, I was tempted to same meditation, 913 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 4: but I'm going to say something different. For practice, I 914 00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:41,920 Speaker 4: would say to really make your sleep a priority now, 915 00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 4: which means making some kind of shift, like just some 916 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,399 Speaker 4: shift like going to bed earlier, or maybe taking back 917 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 4: before bed, just doing something to honor and sort of 918 00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,960 Speaker 4: what you say, create like a soft space. Is that 919 00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 4: the right learn, Yeah, the right phrase a soft space 920 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:03,000 Speaker 4: around sleep. So something softening around sleep. It could even 921 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,399 Speaker 4: be like buying new sheets or something something like it 922 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:07,440 Speaker 4: really makes you feel. 923 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:08,680 Speaker 5: Good about sleep. 924 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 4: And then for the plants, is that I do believe 925 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:18,920 Speaker 4: that part of changing our relationship with plants, and honestly 926 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 4: just strengthening our relationship with plants is finding a plant 927 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:28,440 Speaker 4: ally like this idea a lot and so to explore 928 00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,040 Speaker 4: the idea. And I mean wishguard Nerves is a good 929 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:35,880 Speaker 4: resource wish gardennerves dot com. Of like finding a plant 930 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,720 Speaker 4: like holy basil. But I can't say one size fits 931 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,320 Speaker 4: all or motherwort. These are the two that are coming 932 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 4: to mind. Motherwort, is this really beautiful herb, especially for women. 933 00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:53,239 Speaker 4: It is a classic nerving that helps really calm and 934 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 4: ground the nervous system. It's really good during times of transition, 935 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 4: like for example, perimenoplause menopause. 936 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:04,319 Speaker 5: But it doesn't even have to be that. 937 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,080 Speaker 4: It could be like a transition to a new home 938 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:12,320 Speaker 4: or a new job, or so motherwort, Leonora's cardiaca lion 939 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,760 Speaker 4: hearted herb. It is literally like the lion hearted plant. 940 00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,760 Speaker 4: So that's one that could be a single ally. Another 941 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:24,720 Speaker 4: could be Holy basil. Holy basil is a little more 942 00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 4: of just for the uplifting. It's an adaptagen that helps 943 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,920 Speaker 4: the body adapt to stress. But I see this unlock 944 00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 4: happen around plants. We've talked a lot about combination formulas, 945 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:42,600 Speaker 4: which are amazing, but when somebody finds a plant, skull 946 00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 4: cup could be another frazzled nerves, kind of wired caffeinated energy, 947 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 4: even if you haven't had caffeine. But the plants. The 948 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,120 Speaker 4: really unique is you can hear me saying it as 949 00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:58,600 Speaker 4: a naturalropic doctor, I will actually pair people with a plant. 950 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,680 Speaker 4: And then when someone starts taking a single plant like that, 951 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:06,920 Speaker 4: it sort of opens up the whole world more to 952 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 4: even more of like some of these other blends that 953 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 4: I love so and we have those singles you can 954 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 4: you can check them out and find the right one 955 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,360 Speaker 4: for you and if a blend is calling you instead, 956 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:21,920 Speaker 4: go for that. 957 00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 5: But finding a way to connect. 958 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,880 Speaker 1: To the plants amazing. 959 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Thank you for that soul work. 960 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,640 Speaker 3: And doctor Aaron Stokes, thank you so much for joining 961 00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,840 Speaker 3: us again.
