During this episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Gil Hedley. Gil is an integral anatomist from the United States and has spent much of his life examining, and teaching others to appreciate, the textures and layers of the human body. 

Our conversation allowed us to dive further into to depth on some of his well known analogies pertaining to the human body including the onion tree, his refined definition of "fuzz" and the heart centre. 

Gil also shared how his years of work in dissection have caused him to view stress, his life and how "slipperiness" is essential.
