Summary
In recent years, we have seen an increase in people who swear by plant medicine and herbs for treating their ailments. And while more research emerges that supports the claim that a certain plant compounds have incredible healing properties, herb and plant medicine is often frowned upon when it comes to treating chronic conditions. But is there some truth to the power of plant medicine, herbs and Ayahuasca (an entheogen/ psychedelic plant) or is it just mumbo-jumbo? And, if it is so great, why aren’t we using it in modern day medicine?
In this podcast, I speak with Nick Polizzi. Nick has spent his career directing and producing feature length documentaries about natural alternatives to conventional medicine. In this episode, Nick will share his own personal story about how modern medicine gave up treating his chronic migraines and told him that it eventually would kill him. This led him to discover the power of plant medicines, EFT, herbs, and Ayahuasca to heal the body, mind, and spirit, and live a vibrant, healthy, energetic life.
In this podcast, we’ll cover:
- Why modern medicine often gives up on patients with chronic disease
- How Nick managed to cure debilitating ocular migraine in only 6 months (after modern medicine had given up on him)
- How a sweat lodge ceremony works
- Ayahuasca – Is it really just another drug to get high on?
- Scientists have only studied the properties of 3% of all plants on the planet (and the real truth why we aren’t studying more)
- Ayahuasca ceremonies – how to use them for spiritual healing
- Why your conventional doctor is unable to help you treat your disease using herbs and plant medicine
- Nick’s personal experiences with Ayahuasca and sweat lodge ceremonies
- How your personal beliefs can block your healing process
- Nick’s new docu series Remedy: Ancient Medicine For Modern Illness – How to use herbs for treating modern epidemics

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, this is Ari. Welcome back to the Energy Blueprint Podcast. Before we get into today's show, |
| 0:05.1 | I have an incredibly important announcement. This is something that I really haven't been more |
| 0:10.0 | excited to announce than all the way back in 2014 when I first started the Energy Blueprint. |
| 0:15.6 | After well over a year of development and testing, we are finally ready to officially launch our breakthrough |
| 0:23.7 | mitochondrial supplement to the world. This is a genuine game changer in the area of human |
| 0:29.5 | energy enhancement. And it's called Energenesis. This is actually the first no stimulant, no caffeine, |
| 0:36.2 | and no sugar energy formula that actually builds up |
| 0:40.4 | your own body's capacity to produce energy. Instead of working like caffeine and stimulants by giving |
| 0:46.4 | you a temporary boost of energy for a few hours, but ultimately making your energy levels |
| 0:50.9 | worse over time, energenesis actually builds up your own body's ability, |
| 0:56.0 | your cellular capacity to produce energy. Energenesis is for people looking for real answers |
| 1:02.1 | who want to address root causes, who want to build real energy. So hopefully you've been following |
| 1:07.8 | my work for a while now. And if so, you know that the real root of |
| 1:11.1 | most energy issues almost always comes back to the mitochondria. That's why mitochondria is such a central |
| 1:17.0 | fixture of so, so many of the podcasts that I've done on this show and so much of my own work as well |
| 1:24.3 | as far as the videos and the articles that I've put out into the world. Now, there's two really important layers to this story. I'm really simplifying a vast amount |
| 1:32.2 | of science here into something that's a fairly simple model, but trying to be succinct. The two |
| 1:37.1 | important layers of this, for most people, from the age of 20 to 40, their mitochondrial capacity, |
| 1:43.6 | the ability of their cells to produce energy, |
| 1:45.6 | decreases by about half. And then from 40 to 70, it decreases by another half. So, in other |
| 1:51.8 | words, from the ages of 20 to 70, the research shows that most people lose about 75% of their |
| 1:59.1 | mitochondrial capacity. So just that in and of itself is a massive problem. But there's |
