Esoteric Wellness
At Esoteric Wellness we discuss health & wellness knowledge that isn't generally well known or well accepted. From new scientific research to alternative wellness methods to mind-body techniques to psychedelics to emerging theories. Our intent is to help to make sense of the information that is out there, identify the BS, and introduce new information. Health & wellness is a struggle, and our hope is to clear up some of the misunderstandings and misconceptions around it. Send us an email with all your questions, comments, topic requests, or just to say hi at esotericwellnesspodcast@gmail.com.
