Today I’d like to share with you a conversation I had recently with a friend of mine, a great guy with a vast knowledge that spans many topics as you will see, a quasi-brother-in-law, twice removed, Mark Salter. In this conversation, Mark talks about such diverse subjects as gut-biome, antibiotics, forestry and foraging and agricultural history, plant medicine, magic mushrooms and ancient culture, mantra meditation, Japanese forest-bathing, we talk about cancer and epigenetics, and much, much more…. we even talk about Atlantis! I mean… it’d almost be easier for me to list the few things in this world that we didn’t talk about! Also, I should mention that there is a brief mention of sexual abuse you should be aware of, as well as some adult language. All of this while we walk a nature trail at the Jacksonville Arboretum here in Jacksonville, FL. We walked 3.9 miles through beautiful, natural Florida trails with me holding up my mini-recorder and trying to keep up. That being said, I think it sounds pretty good, you’ll hear me tromping around, (Mark was barefoot), we pass some other folks on the trail and say good morning, some planes fly over… It’s like you’re right there on the trail with us! There’s even a little bit after we say goodbye when we were talking in the parking lot and Mark was like, “oh, you should record this…” so listen for that… Mark is such an amazing guy. I’m so grateful to him for taking the time to share his knowledge. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
