In this week's episode, I talk with Mark "Merriwether" Vorderbruggen Ph.D. where we discuss the "caveman lifestyle", foraging and mushrooms! This episode was a blast and I hope you all enjoy it as well!
Here is an excerpt from Merriwether's website's about section: "Mark “Merriwether” Vorderbruggen, Ph.D. has always walked the path of the medicine man. He grew up in the wilds of Minnesota where his parents and grandparents utilized the amazing wild foods and medicinal plants found in local woods, fields, and lakes. His parents understood the healing powers in nature...whether it be plant, mushroom, or physical interactions. The healing connection with nature that Dr. Vorderbruggen has known since childhood is foundation to who he is today. Though his first love was always nature, Mark knew he’d be a scientist and focused on medicinal chemistry specializing on the powerful compounds produced by flora, fungi, and even fauna. This led to him getting a BS in professional chemistry from South Dakota State University followed by a MS in medicinal chemistry and a PH.D. in physical organic chemistry from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, one of the oldest technical university in the US."(https://medicinemanplantco.com/pages/dr-mark-merriwether-vorderbruggen)
