Before I started this podcast, I was brainstorming about people who would be good guests for the show I envisioned. Dr. Joe Tafur was on this initial list, along with plenty of other people who may be classified more as "celebrities" in the health and wellness space.

Fast forward close to 2 years and I finally felt ready to dive into this conversation with Joe (and we finally time to actually connect for it!).

My personal connection with Ayahuasca starting back in 2012 led me learn about the work of Joe Tafur, a doctor/shaman who has vast experience with indigenous plant medicine and grounding in conventional, "western medicine."

In this conversation we get to know Joe and the work he has been doing in his personal and professional life with plant medicine. We learn about the physical science and the spiritual science of plant medicine in this fantastic conversation.

Some highlights include... 

• Dr. Joe's backstory and how he got immersed in indigenous medicine while in medical school
• His "fellowship of the river" and how the transformed his life and medical practice
• What is shamanism
• The holistic approach of indigenous medicine, beyond the ayahuasca/hallucinogenic plant medicine
• The science of intergenerational trauma
• How plant medicine impact our experience of life on an epigenetic level
