Summary
Cameron George is quickly becoming a Life Stylist veteran guest, and for good reason. To refresh your memory, he is the founder of Tru Kava, a growing company espousing the incredible benefits of kava as a therapeutic plant medicine.
In this conversation, we go deep into the plant medicine renaissance and why there has been such a resurgence in interest in this field – before touching on the historic uses of plant medicine and why kava plays such a significant role in parts of the world.
We also unpack the psychological and spiritual aspects of humanity, from the search for purpose and meaning to embracing imperfections and the drive toward heightened consciousness. It’s a fascinating and free wheeling discussion that I know you’ll enjoy.
