Today's episode is one that I've been eagerly waiting to share with you all. We’re joined by an incredibly special guest, Ryan Latreille, the founder of Kanna Extract Co., to talk about Kanna (Sceletium Tortuosum); a legal empathogen that can elevate mood and support mental health.
Ryan's expertise in the realm of psychedelics and plant medicines is more extensive than anyone I know, especially when it comes to kanna, a plant medicine he introduced me to years ago. He's a trailblazer, making these novel substances more approachable and, importantly, doing so with a profound sense of responsibility and care.
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered on getting started. The Life Stylist listeners can visit kannaextract.com and use code LUKE for 10% off.
In this episode, we explore the world of kanna, a topic Ryan knows inside out. His approach to creating these products is meticulous and heartfelt, focusing on efficacy and safety. We're not just exploring the origins and stories behind these substances, we're also emphasizing the importance of respect and caution in their use.
This episode highlights the many benefits of kanna, including its non-addictive nature. It is legal, and potentially the safest way to experience profound plant medicine benefits, leading to deeper healing, connection, and growth.
Get ready to have your mind expanded and to learn from one of the most knowledgeable people in the field of plant medicine. Let's dive in and discover the wonders of kanna and the remarkable journey of Kanna Extract Co. with Ryan Latreille.
