Where Plants, Astrology & Medicine Meet with Jennifer Payeur | Ep. 318

What if your health story is connected to something much larger than what we can see? In this episode of the Spectrum of Health Podcast, Dr. Christine Schaffner welcomes her dear friend Jen Payeur of Nature Provides for a fascinating conversation about medical astrology, plant intelligence, alchemy, and the evolving landscape of integrative medicine.
