I am delighted to interview Chris Kilham today. Chris is a medicine hunter and educator with a wealth of knowledge to share as an expert in his field. He has been involved in natural health since 1971 and has written several books.  

In today's discussion, we explore the differences between traditional plant-based medicines and pharmaceutical agents, looking at patents, industry trends, gut health, mental acuity, and inflammation. We touch on medical tourism and infobesity and discuss the limitations of plant-based therapies. Chris also shares his favorite plants for brain and neurocognitive health, his experiences with other experts and shamans, some fascinating details about psychedelic agents, and his work with the global plant exploration program at Groupe Berkem. 

This fascinating discussion on plant-based medicines is full of intriguing insights, and I look forward to having Chris back on the podcast.
