2023-12-0145 minThe Nutrition Translator PodcastMedicine Song (Icaro): SequoiaAyahuasca forms the foundation of the indigenous plant medicine traditions of the Western Amazonian Shamanism, but the dieta plays a crucial role in building upon that foundation. It could be considered the support beams of the tradition, upon which the rest of the structure is built. So what is a dieta? In simple terms, a dieta is a contract made between a curandero, or student of curanderismo, and a particular plant spirit. For several days the dieter communes with the plant with no other distractions. No salt, sugar, spices, sex, touching others, electronics, or distractions. Food choices are limited...

2022-02-281h 05The Nutrition Translator PodcastShort Story: The Transcendence of MeaningThis short story is about an Ayahuasca ceremony that I had past Friday. This ceremony was one of three in the span of less than 48 hours. On this beautiful medicine path, I have been faced with my shadows, demons and deeply unsettling & freeing truths of the universe.
