Episode 89: The Importance Of Mineralization In The Plant Medicine Conversation (feat. Jason Gandzjuk)

When it comes to the realm of harm reduction within the psychedelic space, many of us are aware of concepts such as minimum effective dosing, however, many are unaware that our lifestyle habits, such as diet, exercise, water intake & sleep also play a big role in this realm. One area that I have been particularly interested in recently with regards to this idea is the notion that many of these medicines can deplete our mineral levels & without a method to reinstate these minerals in our body, we can end up potentially doing more harm than good within our ceremonies as a whole. Stopping back by the show today to dive into this topic & I imagine many others on our epic heart flow journey is a gentleman who is one of, if not the most knowledgeable individual I have had the pleasure of meeting when it comes to physical, emotional, mental & spiritual holistic health. He is a holistic health practitioner, a 5 MEO DMT facilitator, a medical qi gong doctor & a mineral alchemist & along with all of these amazing accolades, he is also a heart centered, joyous person who is an absolute blast to chat with, which are all the reasons why I continue having him back on the show for all of you to benefit from his knowledge & expertise in these fields.

About Jason Gandzjuk 

Jason is a certified Holistic Health Practitioner, specializing in corrective, high-performance exercise kinesiology. Jason takes an integrative approach to health – focused on restoring balance to the body, through lifestyle, mindset, and spiritual direction. He is passionate about helping clients uncover the root cause of their health issues, supporting them as they transform their dreams into reality and create an empowered life they love. 

Traveling the world as a competitive motocross racer and professional cyclist for over 14 years, Jason understands first-hand the importance of properly conditioning and caring for the body in order to achieve peak performance. During his years as a professional athlete, he struggled with chronic life-threatening injuries and developed severe digestive and cognitive issues that were misdiagnosed by Western medicine. 

This forced Jason to take his health into his own hands. Through extensive research and working closely with Paul Chek, Jason was able to heal his body holistically, through the very same methods and principles that he now teaches his clients. Jason’s own health journey inspired him to pursue continuing education at CHEK Institute, receiving certifications as a CHEK Practitioner and Holistic Lifestyle Coach.

Jason soon discovered the power of plant medicine therapy. Having participated in a great number of ceremonies for himself and studied extensively with several highly skilled medicine facilitators, his passion for helping others grew, and he shifted his holistic wellness practice to be centered around integrative plant medicine therapy where he integrates medical qigong energy work with plant medicine. He was able to experience the amazing visions, profound and unmatched peace, connection to self, and healing of deep-rooted trauma. The impact was profound and deep; it ignited a passion and a desire to provide others with this transformative experience. His connection to his purpose became apparent, and he now helps others to be able to experience the same in a safe and guided space.
