Happy Spring Loved ones! Guess what… new series alert! We’re getting into our diets, as herbalists! We always say food is medicine, and we want you to understand that plants as food IS also herbal medicine. We breakdown the nutritional profiles of veggies, define vegan, vegetarian and plant-based. Above all, we give vegans their flowers for holding down an extreme part of the diet spectrum that has benefited all of us.  This is a powerful intro for this new series! We can’t wait for you all to get into it with us!! Grab a genmaicha hot or over ice and an apple, and let’s get it poppin’!  As always, we want to thank you for all of your support, in all the ways! we’re trying to build up this patreon, so that we can sustainably fund the work we already do with the podcast. so if you’re not yet a patreon, join today @ ⁠patreon.com/pettyherbalist⁠.
