In this episode, I’m joined by David Romero — retired U.S. Air Force Captain, lifelong musician, yoga philosophy nerd (the real kind, not the “mediocre calisthenics” kind), and a psychedelic integration + health & wellness coach. 

We go deep on sound healing (voice, breath, vibration, instruments, and why your nervous system responds), yoga beyond the stretches (Ahimsa, Satya, the eight limbs), microdosing as a “life-as-ceremony” practice, and why gut health / autoimmune patterns so often track back to stress, conditioning, and unprocessed emotion. Also: harmoniums, flutes, didgeridoos, and how you end up with 200 instruments in your house like it’s totally normal.

If you’re navigating PTSD, CPTSD, anxiety, depression, or you’re a veteran/first responder trying to rebuild trust in your body and your life … this conversation is a must listen
