Whether it's Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, MDMA, or even LSD, Psychedelics have been given a bad name over the years, but what is the truth about these demonized drugs? Do they fit the drug category or do they fit the plant medicine category? What if we could unlock their healing power in a matter of minutes, addressing lifelong trauma and PTSD without years of therapy? 


These questions are what inspired this three part series on Food Heals where we are discussing the healing power of plant medicine. In this series you'll hear brand new interviews with leading experts in the field of psychedelics who share their personal healing journey as well as how you can access the power of plants to heal yourself as well.


Enter my first guest, Paul Austin, the CEO of Third Wave, and a pioneer in reshaping our perceptions of psychedelics.


Through his companies, Third Wave and Synthesis, he has helped lay the groundwork for legal, mainstream access to psychedelic medicine that has long been stigmatized. Because of his efforts at the intersection of psychedelic use, personal transformation, and professional success, Paul’s work has been featured in the BBC, Forbes, WebMD, Business Insider, and Rolling Stone.


Tune into learning how microdosing can help us in our personal and professional lives, how to find a safe space for healing, and what you can do at home to grow your own plant medicine.


And then stay tuned because this is Part 1 of our three part series. In Part 2, I'm talking to Derek Januszewski, the founder of Pachamama Sanctuary, which is an Ayahuasca retreat center and he'll share the story of how plant medicine assisted in his journey to sobriety.


And finally in part 3, I'll speak with former police officer, Nick Motycka who healed 15 years worth of job-related trauma and went from being clinically diagnosed with severe PTSD to no longer meeting the criteria for a diagnosis through the use of plant medicine.

Happy Thanksgiving! If you're celebrating, I hope you're surrounded by people who light up your world, enjoying delicious, nourishing food and, of course, some fine wine! Speaking of wine, did you know that not all vino is created equal? From glyphosate lurking in the soil to fish bladder fining agents, a lot of what's in our glasses can be a chemical shit storm. But don't worry; today's guest is pioneering a solution. Enter High Vibrational Wines – a brand-new company that's breaking the mold, offering wines that are organic, chemical-free, and vegan.


You remember JJ Flizanes from multiple episodes of Food Heals. She is an Empowerment Strategist and creator of The Empowering Minds Network. She hosts several podcasts, including her most popular show, Spirit, Purpose & Energy, and her wine show is Something to Wine About.


JJ and I are both wine enthusiasts and health nuts, so how can we be both? As wine lovers, we want our wine to be on the healthy side but also taste amazing. Sadly that seems to be something lacking in the wine market today. How can we enjoy our wine without those dreaded hangovers, all while ensuring it's organic and tastes delicious? That's the challenge JJ tackled head-on when she approached me, saying, 'I'm creating an organic wine that's forever chemical-free and vegan.' My response? 'Sign me up.' And she did.


In today's episode, you'll learn exactly how she did it. You'll even catch me doing a live taste test on air! Plus, we'll reveal how you can get your hands on this extraordinary wine, with the added bonus of a 20% discount for our listeners.

Happy, healthy holidays! I hope you're cooking and spending time with people you care about. Today, we're going to talk a little bit about forever chemicals and how to avoid them. Then, we'll lighten it up with some fun holiday and year-round healthy recipes.

Glyphosate - one of those scary forever chemicals - is the most widely used herbicide in the world. It poses significant health and environmental risks, lingering in the environment for extended periods and disrupting normal cell development. Exposure to glyphosate has been linked to neurotoxic effects, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and more.

It's a scary topic, but it's part of our food system, so we have to address it.

Which brings me to today's guest. You remember Shanais Pelka from episode 426. She is the Head of Research & Development at Organifi, passionate about food, herbs, medicinal mushrooms, sustainability, and community. In episode 426, she shared her story of overcoming a respiratory infection and platelet disorder using herbs and supplements.

Today, she's back to share how to go Glyphosate-Free. She'll also share some fun holiday recipes and gift ideas, and we'll hear all about Organifi's brand-new product straight from the mountains of the Himalayas.

Join me for Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Daryl Gioffre, where we’re diving into some crucial health topics that affect us all plus- some surprising revelations!


We'll be delving into protecting our loved ones (yes that includes our furry fiends!) from mold toxicity, exploring why insulin is hormone that ages us, and why healing the gut is the first step in healing and reversing any "dis-ease."


And, hold onto your coffee mugs because Dr. Daryl has genius sugar swaps straight from a former sugar addict, along with some fantastic coffee alternatives that won’t wreak havoc on your health.


Ever experienced a morning after a night out that feels like you've been hit by a truck? Dr. Daryl’s got a hangover hack too, just in time for the holidays - that believe me - I will be trying asap!


Dr. Daryl Gioffre isn’t your typical health expert. With over two decades of experience and his own battles fought—a lifelong sugar addiction and personal gut and mold challenges—he’s a testament to resilience in the pursuit of perfect health.


He's the man behind the brand, behind Get off Your Acid, a virtual hub for testing and coaching focused on tackling inflammation at its core by nurturing your microbiome. And, he’s not just a gut health expert—he's a certified chiropractor, Reiki Master, raw food chef, and the author of the bestselling books "Get Off Your Acid" and the latest book, "Get Off Your Sugar: Burn the Fat, Crush Your Cravings, and Go From Stress Eating to Strength Eating."
