In this thought-provoking episode of the Mindfully Gay Podcast, John and Jerry explore the profound value of plant medicine, inspired by Jerry’s recent journey to Peru. Together, they unpack the growing mainstream awareness of plant medicine while delving into its historical, cultural, spiritual, and holistic significance.

But this conversation doesn’t stop at plants. John and Jerry broaden the idea of “medicine” to include practices like yoga, fitness training, and other rituals that help us feel better physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They reflect on their personal experiences and invite listeners to consider how daily habits, ceremonies, and even queerness itself can be a source of healing and transformation.

How can we uncover our own medicine? What stories no longer serve us, and how can we rewrite them? This episode invites you to embrace the unique “medicine” of your queerness and unlock your potential.
