In this episode, I have a hopeful conversation with Justin Sinclair, who is part of the NICM Health Research Institute since 2017 as a Research Fellow who has been researching and studying cannabis in Australia and the United States for the last 15 years. Justin blends the best of both modern science and traditional knowledge, and his clinical interests include osteoarthritis, herb/drug/nutrient interactions, digestive disorders and mental health.

In our conversation, we explore a wide range of topics from plant medicine, to our relationship to nature and Earth and the impact of climate change on our mental health. We deep dive into how we can look to plants and First Nations people to explore that inextricable link we have with nature, spirit and place. Justin provides a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience in embodying the lessons of plant medicine and how it can shift the way one can view the world, especially in a time of need like we are experiencing today.

Justin also shares his expertise on how climate change will deter medicinal explorations in the future as the loss of plants is rapidly increasing. He determines that with climate change, we will lose a plethora of knowledge on how we can turn to nature for deeper healing and connection.
