We’re excited to bring you Season Two of The Totem Nutrition Podcast! Our first guest is Daniel Cortez, and he'll be joining us for the first 6 episodes of season two. Each episode in this 6 episode series will cover an individual lifestyle component from the evolutionary perspective. What does this mean? It means that Daniel and Leah talk about how separated modern humans are from the way humans are best adapted to living and why our modern conventional thinking and behaving is making a lot of us unhealthy and miserable. 

In this episode, Daniel  teaches Leah about his vast experience with psychedelic plants as a means of personal development, emotional healing, and physical healing as well. Daniel talks about what the hero's journey is and how plant medicine can help jumpstart your call to action for embracing your life. He talks about how what we think of as our self isn't really our self, what consciousness truly is, and navigating and integrating your altered states experiences into your personality for lasting impact. Daniel is currently in the process of moving to Peru to best facilitate and integrate his clients' own psychedelic experiences from start to finish. If you've ever wondered about Ayahuasca, DMT, Psilocybin (shrooms), San Pedro, Kambo (frog poison), or other South American medicinal traditions YOU MUST HEAR THIS EPISODE. Daniel talks in depth about his own journeys and the long lasting impact they've had on his life.
