EP. 201: Today’s guest is Paul Austin of Third Wave. This episode is all about microdosing psychedelics, so I guess this is a bit of a trigger warning. If this is something that you don't feel comfortable hearing about, talking about, discussing, then I would skip this episode, because we talk a lot about psilocybin. We talk about psychedelics as a whole, talk a lot about Paul Austin and his work with Third Wave, where their mission is to nurture the emerging psychedelic ecosystem by providing individuals with research-based education, access to vetted providers and membership in their global community, a safe space to ask questions, share experiences and connect with others on a similar journey.

We explore the potential of these amazing fungi, uncovering how they can be incredibly beneficial to our overall health, from cognitive function to immune system support. Ben gives us an insight into his journey into mushroom farming and the discoveries being made in the fascinating field of mushroom research.
We talk about the unique biochemical properties of functional mushrooms, including adaptogenic characteristics that allow them to adjust to our body's needs and communicate with each other. Ben enlightens us on a variety of mushrooms such as Lion's Mane, Turkey Tail, and Reishi, discussing their medicinal properties and how they can be used for different health benefits.

153: I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with the remarkable Monica Yates, a trauma healer, feminine masculine embodiment coach and period whisper. We dove into an enlightening conversation about femininity, masculinity, and how modern movements have unintentionally devalued the inherent aspects of our biological identity. Monica shed light on her personal journey of growing up in a society where femininity was seen as a weakness, leading her to suppress her inherent feminine energy.
Through our discussions, we explored the complex dynamics of feminine and masculine energies and how they influence our relationships, self-perception, and overall wellbeing. We delved into the importance of women's communities, the ramifications of toxic femininity, and how the fight for women's rights has changed our perception of domestic roles and tasks. Monica shed light on the importance of understanding the differences between men and women and how this understanding is crucial for nurturing healthier relationships.

Show Note/Links:
Important to note:
Oregano has a long history of use as a traditional herbal medicine in humans, however, it still needs to be used with caution and it may not be appropriate in all cases. Potential adverse effects include toxicity, skin irritation, medication interference, and more. It’s also important to note that there is lack of evidence for its use during pregnancy / breastfeeding.
There is not sufficient research around its safety and tolerability during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your medical provider before use.
Many of the antimicrobial and antibacterial effects of oregano oil depend on its species, mode of extraction, concentration given, etc.
Because oregano oil can have very strong antimicrobial activity, taking it for too long a period could negatively impact the microbiome; as such, long-term use is discouraged.
