Ric Scalzo, the founder of Gaia Herbs and a pioneer in naturopathic and herbal medicine, joins Leigh Ann to share his expansive journey. From earning a Master's degree in herbal medicine and an honorary doctorate in naturopathic medicine, to founding Gaia Herbs in 1987 and establishing it as a leading herbal company, Ric has always had a unique connection to plant wisdom. After selling Gaia in 2019, Scalzo continued his mission by establishing the Institute of Botanical Research and CR Medicinal Farms, focusing on regenerative organic cultivation. The discussion covers the benefits of regenerative farming, the importance of soil health, and the superior nutrient density of regenerative herbal products. Ric also talks about the launch of his new herbal product line, Kokora, and the scientific research supporting its efficacy. The conversation delves into the principles of regenerative leadership and the integration of traditional herbal wisdom with modern scientific research.Product Discount Codes + Links<ul><li><a href="https://kokoralife.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kokora Life</a> - Discount Code: LAL15</li><li>Apollo Neuro Wearable: <a href="https://the-accrescent-podcast.captivate.fm/apollo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> (Discount Code: THEACCRESCENT)</li><li>Cymbiotika: <a href="https://the-accrescent-podcast.captivate.fm/cymbiotika" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> (Discount Code: LEIGHANNLINDSEY)</li><li>Buoy Electrolytes: <a href="https://the-accrescent-podcast.captivate.fm/buoy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> (Link gives 20% off)</li></ul> Guest Info<ul><li>Ric Scalzo - <a href="https://kokoralife.com/pages/about-ric?srsltid=AfmBOoqdEump4c2X9Fh447Z4J6VEGQ3AVbKYymA2eUsIoQxs3yJUaJiv" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> (Discount Code: LAL15)</li><li>Kokora - <a href="https://kokoralife.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a></li></ul> Related Episodes<ul><li>Podcast Ep. 192: <a href="https://www.theaccrescent.com/podcast-ep-192-keelia-ryan-sacred-plant-medicine-a-path-to-integration-healing-and-trauma-recovery" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Keelia Ryan - Sacred Plant Medicine</a></li><li>Podcast Ep. 156: <a href="https://www.theaccrescent.com/podcast-ep-156-nikki-bostwick-the-fullest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nikki Bostwick, The Fullest - Saffron vs. Prozac: The Natural Alternative for Anxiety</a></li></ul> Work w/Leigh Ann<ul><li>Learn: <a href="https://the-accrescent-podcast.captivate.fm/evox" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What is EVOX Therapy?</a></li><li>Book: <a href="https://the-accrescent-podcast.captivate.fm/schedule" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Schedule a Session or FREE Discovery Call</a></li><li>Membership: <a href="https://the-accrescent-podcast.captivate.fm/uplevel" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What is The Uplevel Lab?</a></li></ul> Connect w/Me & Learn More<ul><li><a href="https://www.theaccrescent.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/leighannlindsey/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li><li><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@theaccrescent?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tiktok</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwJVL6z48xPThN-C0fLuiHA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Youtube</a></li></ul>
