Jerm and his guest, Robin, AKA "Medicine Girl," dive into the intriguing world of hair. Hair is viewed as more than a way to stay warm — it is like an antenna which connects us to our surroundings.


They touch on how circumcision may affect hair growth and overall health as well as how men's hair loss often stems from exposure to chemicals and hair products. Beards get a nod as symbols of strength and masculinity. The discussion highlights how social engineering shapes our ideas of beauty and well-being, often steering us away from natural vibes.


Robin stresses that diet, environment, and stress play big roles for healthy hair. She points out that to maintain homeostasis is key to the body's balance and vitality. She advocates for natural hair care to preserve hair's strength. Robin urges everyone to tune into their body's signals rather than to let modern habits disrupt innate connection to health and the world around us.
