The Mason Taylor Sho‪w‬ Mason Taylor | Multidimensional Health

Today, Mason is joined at the podcast mic by Sam Gibb, founder of Cloud Hidden Tea. Tea is not only one of the most sacred plants on earth, it is the second most consumed herb on the globe. This beautiful plant can be taken for granted sometimes; the lineage behind its magic and the deep ceremony ensconced in this epic leaf is next level. In today's catch up, Sam sheds light on tea and mindfulness and reminds us how every part of the day is an opportunity to practice mindfulness. The guys discuss the miracles of life and all dip in and out of esoteric matters - it was always going to happen when discussing all things tea. Grab a cuppa and enjoy.
 
“Tea is such a soft beautiful god and she really just wants to help you and meet you where you are.”
Sam Gibb
 
 
The guys discuss:
- How to judge the quality of tea by the way it smells
- There are sourcing similarities between SuperFeast tonic herbs and good quality tea - the notion of Di Dao (Di Tao)
- Fermented clay tea pots brew a superior tea
- What makes an ideal tea?
- Caffeine is never isolated in nature
- Reactions to tea is always the pesticides or the processing

Gut Health Part 2 is here! If you haven't already listened to last week's Part 1 episode, we suggest you drop in now and have a listen. The guys pick up where they left off, diving deep into the energetics of the digestive system and referencing the ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy. Probiotics and prebiotics are discussed in great detail and the role they play with chronic disease manifestations, like leaky gut. Dan (The Functional Naturopath) brings his clinical observations to the table with real-life client experiences.
 
The guys discuss:
- 100% alkaline everything is NOT health promoting, sometimes acidity is beneficial 
- The Spleen is connected to the whole digestive system, think of it as the digestive fire
- Spleen deficiencies generally call for dietary adjustments and stress management 
- Dampness can arise from depleting kidney essence (excessive amounts of cold, raw foods and fasting)
- What diet is sustainable for decades, what flows naturally for you?
- Extreme dietary regimes generally result in exhaustion and depletion 
- High fat diets require more bile; some inflammatory gut species eat bile, this paired with leaky gut leads to a surge in systemic inflammation (endotoxemia)
- Prebiotic fibre feed the beneficial native bacteria, don't forget PREbiotics!
- Prebiotics: garlic, onion, asparagus, cooled rice and potato
- Kidney essence relies heavily on healthy microbiome
- Poor spleen function has emotional connections to: excessive worry, inability to tend for yourself, complaining a lot, needing gratification 
- How medicinal mushies contain gut-boosting constituents 
- What is Phase III of liver detoxification and how we can support it
- How candida is opportunistic and how to lower excess levels
- Medicinal mushies (unlike culinary mushrooms) help with fungal issues
- We are built for walking, walk more for healthy waste excretion
- Physical manipulation can really benefit a sluggish / toxic digestion

Gut health - what a minefield! Well, after today's Part 1 episode, we hope you'll be feeling more empowered understanding your gut health. Dan Sipple (The Functional Naturopath) joins Mason today as the boys dive deep into the depths of your gastro-intestinal tract! This subject is so vast, we have Part 1 and Part 2 to follow - stay tuned for next week. This episode covers the basics, what is digestion, what is good gut health and how we can build a robust gut microbiome - all the topics to get you in the driver's seat of your health. Dan shares his personal gut health journey (inclusive of viral load and Epstein-Barr) and once again, Dan brings his clinical observations to the table with real-life client experiences.
 
The guys discuss:
- Why testing and data for gut health can help with specific diagnoses
- How beneficial colostrum and aloe vera are for the gut lining
- Mouth to anus - the digestive system is a hollow tube!
