In this episode, I interviewed Dr. Joe Tafur, MD, integrative Family Physician, curandero, author, and speaker. His acclaimed book, The Fellowship of the River, explores the role of spiritual healing in modern healthcare. Dr. Tafur currently offers integrative medical services virtually and in association with DayTryp Psychedelic Wellness Center in Phoenix, Arizona. He also provides telemedicine services to individuals in Arizona and California.

Generally, I speak on this podcast with individuals who work in the space of Yoga and healing. Today, we spoke more about plant medicine and healing. But the common denominator for both Yoga and plant medicine is the spiritual aspect of healing, one that is generally missing in modern health care.
