301: The Kava Cure: An Ancient Tonic for Modern Anxiety & Loneliness


Listen Later

In a world of skyrocketing anxiety and crumbling social bonds, more millennials and Gen Zers are embracing sobriety and forging deeper human connections. At the vanguard of this movement is Cameron George, the founder of Tru Kava and a leading voice in the sober curious revolution. Tune in as Dr. Josh Axe picks Cameron's brain on:


  • The new breed of "clarigenics" - alcohol-free social tonics designed to naturally elevate mental health
  • Why 61% of Gen Z plans to reduce alcohol consumption, following the lead of trendsetters like Blake Lively and Chrissy Teigen
  • The extraordinary wellness benefits of kava, an ancient Pacific Island root that combats modern epidemics like anxiety and depression
  • How kava could spark a social renaissance akin to the coffeehouses that catalyzed the Age of Enlightenment
  • Powerful strategies for overcoming isolation and fostering genuine human bonds in our fractured world
  • Busting common myths about this revered plant medicine's effects and safety
  • Key physiological differences in how kava benefits men versus women
  • Cameron's personal journey from autoimmune issues and anxiety to pioneering a global movement

  • Whether you're exploring sobriety or simply seeking more profound social bonds, this insightful discussion provides a revitalizing, holistic solution to the challenges of contemporary life.
