Dr. Ben Page: You Heal You! How Natural Medicines and Ways of Being Support the Holistic Health of People and the Planet

Discussion with Dr. Ben Page, author, chiropractor, entrepreneur, and general purveyor of natural healing wisdom and medicine in the form of his company Consuelda’s comfrey salve. In this episode Dr. Page and I discuss his journey into natural healing and his life mission to help encourage robust and natural health for people and the earth. Dr. Page’s motto is “You Heal You”! He believes that the natural intelligence of the human body is the ultimate healer, so long as it is properly supported, and that any true journey into self-healing also includes a desire to support the healing of the natural environment. We also cover the healing superpowers contained in the comfrey plant (bone knit), the importance of proper nutrition, body movement, incorporating the natural cycles and seasons into our lifestyles, protecting our minds from the destructive and divisive power of social media and pornography, and so much more. We hope you enjoy this discussion!

Jahan Khamsehzadeh: Psychedelic Plant Medicines as Nature's Communicators, Healers, and Connectors

Join me for a discussion with Jahan Khamsehzadeh, Ph.D., psychedelic guide, teacher, researcher, and journeyer with over 20 years of formal and informal research, has taken 1000+ personal psychedelic plant medicine journeys, and guided almost 700 journeys for others. Jahan astutely guides us through what psychedelics are and some specific medicines as well as the natural active compounds they offer. Jahan speaks to the human evolutionary history of psychedelic use including the indigenous use of mind-altering plant medicines for healing and connection as well as the role of animism in human history and the ability of psychedelics to reveal a sense of consciousness or aliveness in all aspects of the natural world. Jahan discusses the current research on the nature connective and pro-environmental influence of psychedelic use on people. Lastly, Jahan offers guidance for those seeking out experiences with psychedelic plant medicines including harm reduction, self-education, and safety considerations.
