#151: How to Harness The Power of Plant Medicine - Jenny Sansouci

I am so excited to welcome Jenny Sansouci onto the podcast! Jenny is the author of The Rebel's Apothecary: A Practical Guide to the Healing Magic of Cannabis, CBD, and Mushrooms. Jenny is a Certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and has been trained by functional medicine doctor Frank Lipman, MD, in New York City.

In this episode we discuss the various medical and wellness uses for cannabis and medicinal mushrooms. How they can enhance the lives of anyone living with pain, anxiety, depression, weakened immune system, insomnia, and more. We talk about the myths and stigmas associated with these powerful healing plants and fungi. We get into the research on psilocybin mushrooms, and share our personal journey’s — diving deep into the weird and beautiful blend of biological and spiritual facets.

What starts off as a conversation aiming to deepen your understanding and respect for organisms that literally exist under our feet, quickly shifts to the understanding and expansion of human consciousness.
