What do some evangelical Christians and many wellness influencers have in common?
Many people in these groups have been outsmarted by the social media algorithms. They have chosen to put individual rights over the health and welfare of the masses. A lot of people have witnessed a pandemic that has killed millions of people worldwide and have chosen to deny the truth.
As an acupuncturist, herbalist, and primary care provider, I am extremely disappointed by many people in the “wellness industry.” For example, one of the most toxic things I have heard some friends, wellness infl...

The Tiffany Jo Baker Podcast - Get FREE. Live FULL. Thank GOD.048 The Struggle with What to Do with My Feelings with Jessica HottleWe have thought for a long time that most human emotions fall within the general categories of happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear and disgust. In 2017 a study from UC Berkeley challenges this long-held assumption and found 27 distinct categories for emotions. Triggers and stimulus in our world lead us to experience a rollercoaster of emotions every. single. day. Emotions lead to our feelings. These feelings can show up in so many ways…So, what do we do with all of these feelings? Today I tackle what to do with all your feelings with Jessica Hottle, podcast host and best-selling author of...

Needless to say, we have a very long history of utilizing Cannabis for its medicinal, edible, and psychoactive properties. Here we are in 2020 still mystified by the cannabinoids and terpenoids (and unknown constituents) that help create the myriad uses of the Cannabis plant!

Hemp was an already well known herb in Europe in the 15th century.
