On episode 005 of The Modern-Day Superhero Show, I sat down Dr. Robert Linde (aka Bob). Dr Linde is an acupuncture physician and registered herbalist operating a thriving practice called Acupuncture & Herbal Therapies in St. Petersburg, Florida. He has been in practice for 20 years. Dr. Linde also directs the Professional Herbalists Training Program where he teaches aspiring herbalists how to safely and effectively diagnose disease based upon the principles of Oriental Medicine, as well as how to use Oriental herbs to treat illness. Further, he often travels throughout the United States and abroad to teach. Additionally, Dr. Linde serves on the board of the Florida State Oriental Medicine Association (FSOMA).

Bob is an incredibly interesting fellow; before serving as a primary care doctor, he held positions as a Desert Storm infantryman, GreenPeace worker, wilderness youth counselor, commercial diver, fisherman, and even as a treasure hunter.

This episode is jam-packed with useful information in regard to Oriental Medicine, herbal medicine, maintaining and sustaining health, as well as overcoming challenges in life and finding a deep sense of purpose. Dr. Linde is incredibly insightful, holds great wisdom, and speaks in an eloquent manner. It was a pleasure to interview him, and I’m sure you all will benefit greatly from this moving episode.
