Ep. 15 - Dr. Joe Tafur, MD - Integrative Family Physician, Curandero, Author and Speaker

Hello everybody. Episode 15 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke with my friend Joe Tafur. Joe and I met in the Amazon where we were both working at Shipibo plant-medicine centers, myself at the Temple of the Way of Light and Joe at Nihue Rao. Joe is a medical doctor and was drawn to come to the Amazon to work with and learn from traditional Shipibo curanderismo. Joe is a really interesting guy as he bridges the more ‘Western’ medical model with the more ‘traditional’ plant-healing systems of the Amazon. Joe has immersed himself deeply in both worlds and has the ability to speak to them both and how they relate to one another and how to bridge them together, respecting and learning from both systems. I always enjoy speaking with Joe and I think you all will really enjoy this episode with him. And starting in two episodes, I’ll begin releasing extended interviews exclusively on Patreon. So check out the information on that below. Cheers!
