Herbal Elixirs to Change Your Mood, Your Health, & Your Life w/ Colter Merrick
- Or listen in:
Greetings, SuperFriends!
Today, we’re joined by yet another incredible expert I met during the Summit at Sea event late last year. His name is Colter Merrick.
As someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, I was particularly happy to meet Colter, as he is an expert in non-alcoholic elixirs and cocktails.
What does this have to do with SuperHuman Academy, you ask?
Well, it turns out that Colter runs a company called Elixart, where he and his team develop and produce powerful cocktails with loads of health and mood benefits. After trying just about everything on his menu, I was determined to get him on the show and pick his brain about some of the substances he introduced me to.
In this episode, we talk about everything from traditional herbs and plants used for healing, all the way to the flow of energy in our bodies and in our lives, and everything in between. We talk about some plants and substances that you may never have heard of, and why it might behoove you to experiment with them in your own lives… It's a great episode, and I just know you're going to learn a TON!
