HERBS, MUSHROOMS AND HEALING - THE SCIENCE ON HOW THEY CAN SUPPORT OUR OVERALL HEALTH w Rebecca Lazarou

If you are looking to learn more about herbs and mushrooms and how the can support your overall health, or you have always thought natural remedies was just "pseudo science" then this episode is a great one for you!

Hannah Garner's Empower Thyself podcast is the weekly podcast where in-depth empowering conversations with entrepreneurs, founders, coaches, healers and experts in mindset and self development, business, holistic well being and spirituality to bring you tangible tools, valuable insights and wisdom for your own growth and expansion.

In today's episode I wanted to go all in on the science around plants and their uses in supporting our bodies in healing and staying healthy. I know there is so much contradicting and often criticism of natural remedies and so I decided to invite a scientist who specialises in these areas to come on and answer all my burning questions for you. It was such an informative and interesting discussion and hopefully provides you with a basis to get start with if you are interested in a holistic health approach. I am joined by Rebecca and she is a medicinal plant and fungi scientist, writer, and herbal formulator. She completed her degree in Biomedicine-Human Biology always with the intention of bridging traditional herbal wisdom with modern science. She then completed a master’s in Medicinal Natural Products and Phytochemistry, and has since then researcher at Kew Gardens, been an editor for the scientific Journal of Herbal Medicine, pharmacology teacher at Betonica school of herbal medicine, co-editor for Herbal Reality and science editor for the McKenna Academy. Her work spans across biomedical science, herbalism, cannabis, psychedelics and holistic wellbeing.

She founded Laz The Plant Scientist to share quality and sustainable herbal medicines with people, as well as education about all things herbs, healing and science.
