Welcome to Our Nature’s Medicine Cabinet Series
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to Nature documentaries. As a kid, our weekend trips to the public library always resulted in a stack of Nature VHS tapes. I grew up learning the intricacies of our planet’s ecological systems from the great David Attenborough, who continues to be one of my favorite Naturalist film makers. When I later committed my academic life to the pursuit of biological understanding, it became obvious just how much those many hours in front of the TV had served me. My current pursuits are no longer purely academic, rather they stem from my deep internal connection to Nature. Cultivating this relationship has been an integral part of my healing journey. I am continually amazed by the innumerable ways that Nature can help us heal ourselves.
I find it helpful to understand how the myriad of supplements and products in the health and wellness market fit into this web of life. If you understand something as a product, you will only know it from a marketing perspective. Considering the many legal limitations on what can be claimed, along with the financial incentive of the manufacturer, it is hard to arrive at a clear understanding of what a product really is, and how you can use it as one of Nature’s many gifts. In this video series I aim to empower you with that knowledge.
