Eric Russell holds a PhD in psychology and is a certified facilitator of plant medicine ceremonies. He is also a spiritual coach and professional mentor, helping everyday corporate professionals make the transition from traditional 9-5 jobs to spiritual entrepreneurship.

Psilocybin has been called the new frontier of healing - and for good reason. Plant medicines, such as mushrooms & Ayahuasca, hold powerful chemical compounds that have been radically changing lives and manifesting miracle healings that have caught the eye of even casual observers.

Previously made illegal by the US government, Psilocybin made an unlikely comeback into FDA trials, where it continues to successfully rumble through rigorous testing. The documented positive effects are changing skeptical scientists' and lawmakers' minds alike.

Today's episode covers a wide range of topics on the subject of plant medicines, including:
- How are plant medicines healing people
- What does a ceremony look like
- What does a psilocybin journey feel like (and compared to other plant medicine journeys)
- Who should (and should not) consider a plant medicine journey
- What the spiritual & physical health benefits of plant medicines are
- And much, much more!

Most people today know their astrological sign (called your "Sun Sign") according to Tropical Astrology. But Astro Analyst Nico (aka NNIL) is here to challenge that understanding of astrology.

In comes Sidereal Astrology. Different from Tropical Astrology, Sidereal Astrology is based on a form of astrology from the ancient East. It uses a different method to determine your astrological sign. For example, Ryan and Dr. Kristine are both Capricorns in Tropical Astrology, but according to Sidereal Astrology, they are both Sagittarius sun signs.

For Nico, Sidereal Astrology also triggers the larger conversation about society as a whole: democracy, capitalism, racial equality, etc. Tune in to find out more about how he is aiming to De-colonize astrology.

Millions of people are reeling from mystery symptoms like these with no clue how to get relief, but Kristine and Ryan's guest today knows just the place to start: your GUT.

Christine Bishara, MD is the founder of "From Within Medical," a medical wellness practice based in New York City, NY that places emphasis on the mind-body and gut-brain axis to prevent and manage disease. With over 20 years of practice in the field and nearly 26,000 Instagram followers, Dr. Christine has been on the frontier of teaching the world about gut health and other areas she discovered hadn't been adequately addressed by the medical community.

In this interview, Kristine and Ryan seek to uncover answers about how the gut can affect us mentally, physically and spiritually. Could our wellness, weight loss goals, & spiritual well-being be tied to our gut? Could our ability to live in positive energy be dependent on the way our mind and gut communicate? The answers are profound and might surprise you...

This episode is chock-full of tips you can start doing right now, easy-to-understand educational topics, and lots of "connect-the-dots" moments back to mental and spiritual well-being!
