Summary

The episode delves into Hayley Porters' background, her experience with iridology, which assesses health through the study of the iris, and her extensive knowledge of herbal medicine. Hayley shares her journey, starting from her early fascination with herbal teas to her rigorous seven-year apprenticeship. She discusses the impact of her childhood health issues, her transformation through natural remedies, and her commitment to sustainable practices. The discussion touches on the significance of the pupil's margin in iridology, the importance of connecting with the earth and plants, and the profound effects of plant medicine ceremonies. Hayley also highlights how she incorporates sustainability into her business, Earth Mother Medicinals, by using US-grown, beyond-organic ingredients and backyard compostable packaging.

0:00.0	Welcome to today's podcast. We have a very special episode with my girl Haley that I got to meet out somewhere in Mexico.
0:06.9	Let me think of this. We were near Sayulito, Mexico with a bioculture crew.
0:12.9	Originally, this podcast was supposed to release much earlier when I released the podcast with Dakota Mays and Christian Van Camp.
0:19.4	And of course, Troy Casey, who was the leader at the event
0:21.5	there teaching us and run a, he ran a freaking awesome event with these guys. But I got to meet Haley

1:19.4	things through, you know, in terms of how can I create something that is both healing for humans,
1:24.3	but not detrimental to the environment. So this podcast was awesome. Share it and
1:29.6	support our sponsors. These guys make the show possible. Without further ado, welcome to the podcast.
