Summary
How are plant medicines different from modern pharmaceutical drugs?
Many legal drugs today come with serious costs like dependency, debilitating side effects, withdrawals and even worse.
So how can we treat or alleviate symptoms without poisoning our system and depleting our neurochemistry?
Joining me on the show is the perfect guest to talk to about this, it's Cameron George, a.k.a. Kava Cam, a researcher, writer and entrepreneur who founded the company TRU KAVA.
Cameron has a unique perspective on how plant medicines like kava can boost mood, relieve anxiety and support the natural healing abilities of the body.
If you've ever had negative side effects from a prescription drug—hands up—this is the show for you.
We're chatting about...
- Why Cameron went 12 days without food
- The psychological and medicinal benefits of kava
- The importance of honoring traditional preparations of plant medicines (instead of solvent extractions)
- Negative effects of commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals on brain chemistry and what to do about it
- And tons more....
