## Resource

Hey everybody! Episode 180 of the show is out. This episode is a podcast I was interviewed on called Beyond the Pills hosted by Josh Rimany. I was really happy with the interview. It was fairly concise and covered a lot of aspects of my work, predominantly with tobacco and tree medicines. We also spoke about ayahuasca, dieta, and some of Josh’s insights as well. I hope you all gain from this episode. Consider checking out and supporting Josh’s work as well.
