Susun Weed answers 90 minutes of herbal health questions followed by a 30 minute interview with Dr. Catherine Clinton.

Dr. Catherine Clinton, a licensed naturopathic physician, has spent over 16 years helping people overcome their health issues. Diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions and Lyme disease while in medical school, she began the long and difficult journey of healing- a path that led to the commitment to help others to not only heal physically but to return to the relationships we evolved over millennia with for a deeper sense of health and belonging.

By healing herself and patients like her, she discovered that true health comes from our relationships. Dr. Catherine has learned how our quantum biological system is intimately and inseparably connected to the world around us. Our relationship with the dirt beneath our feet, the sun, the wind, the water, the plants, the seasons, each other- that is the real medicine.

Her mission is to empower as many people as she can with this knowledge to encourage the paradigm shift, we so desperately need.

Brandy Gillmore is a researcher and mind-body healing expert who has been captivating audiences worldwide with her incredible ability to demonstrate radical healing using only the mind.

She has also delivered a mind-expanding TEDx talk and has been featured in several documentaries. 

Brandy's groundbreaking discoveries stemmed from her own debilitating injury.

Through years of exploring every avenue for healing, Brandy eventually discovered obscure research that changed the course of her life and resulted in a complete recovery.

Now, she is releasing her brand-new cutting-edge book, Master Your Mind and Energy to Heal Your Body, where she shares the hidden research that is the key to her success! 

Several researchers and doctors have referred to Brandy's new book as a "must-read." It holds an incredible missing key to healing.

Susun Weed answers 90 minutes of herbal health questions followed by a 30 minute interview with psychedelics advocate Michael Griswold.

Michael Griswold is a survivor of deep-seated trauma, who has devoted himself to helping others heal from similar experiences. Michael's journey to healing began after he tragically lost his pregnant wife and unborn son in a car accident, leaving him consumed by grief and guilt for years. Despite trying various methods such as therapy, medication, yoga, and breathing techniques, Michael still felt like something was wrong with him, and that's when he turned to psychedelics. 

During a Heroic Journey with LSD, Michael found the healing he had been searching for. He discovered that the love he had for his wife was both tragic and beautiful, and that his thoughts did not have to control his reality. This experience led him to a new understanding of life as a present experience, free from the endless stream of thoughts that had plagued him before. 

Today, Michael is a passionate advocate for the healing power of psychedelics and offers a supplement that helps people suffering from depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Through his work, Michael seeks to spread awareness about the benefits of psychedelics, so that others can experience the same transformative healing that he did.

Sharing those relationships with other humans led her to create House of Lukaya in 2003. House of Lukaya, is a mobile and online source for offerings including plant medicine workshops, incense twists and other handicrafts, and a pocket Guide to Nourishing Herbal Infusions which she self published in 2018.
