Episode Summary

In this episode, I’m sharing five steps to take so that, when you do commit to a particular course of study, you’ll know you’ve chosen the very best one for YOU.

I’m also highlighting some of my teachers and mentors as well as some of my favorite herbal books. And guests in season 10 will be asked the question: Who have you learned herbs from, apart from the plants?

► The don’t-skip-this step to evaluating an herbal school…and what certificates really mean

► What to know if you’re interested in becoming a clinical herbalist

► The book I think every human should read
