There's a lot of like woo-woo stuff in our world, but nothing is more woo-woo than a seed that can look like a pebble.

Food is something that every individual is empowered to do for themselves every day before they're sick.

It was the day I rode my bike that I was like, wow, how much recovery might be possible?

We are on a mission to inspire, heal, and bring the world closer together.

Welcome to Commune. My name is Jeff Krasno. Okay, today on the show, we are exploring
