    Sam Coffman (MSAOM, RH[AHG], W-EMT) began his medical education in the US Army as a Green Beret Medic (18D) in 1989.  Over the years that followed, he dedicated himself to being able to work with botanical medicine as a successful method to provide sustainable health care in remote and post-disaster regions for chronic, acute and physical trauma care. Since that time, Sam has taught herbalism for over 30 years and has worked as a clinical herbalist for over 15 years. His herbal clinic and apothecary are now located in Taos, NM along with his school. 
    In 2007, Sam founded Herbal Medics Academy (AKA The Human Path), which offers five primary herbalism programs - Clinical Herbalism, Austere Medicine, Advanced Medicine Making, Community Herbalism and Family Herbalism. Sam has developed over 1000 hours of curriculum, in addition to other curriculum developed by the 20 instructors working for his school part-time. As a few of the curriculum highlights of his school, Sam teaches the integration of herbal medicine with both functional medicine and austere medicine together with two medical doctors who also specialize in those areas. At the new Taos campus, Sam teaches many on-site medicine courses to include WFA and WFR certification, CERT certification, wilderness survival, TECC certification and a 12-day Herbal and Off-Grid Medicine Experience (HOME) course together with Dr. Steve Pehrson MD.
    Sam and his wife Suchil also co-founded Herbal Medics in 2011 which is an outreach organization that gives their students and interns an opportunity to work in the field while providing free health care and education to underserved communities. They have worked in Nicaragua, Mexico and all over the USA both to provide post-disaster relief as well as provide free herbal clinics, education and sustainable medicine/food projects for underserved communities.
    Sam currently serves on the board of Taos Search and Rescue (TSAR) and is also part of the canine search and rescue team together with his Belgian Tervuren dog, Lucy. His book “Herbal Medic” has been in the top 3 best-selling books for Storey Publishing for the past 2 years.

    Why Doesn’t The Bible Make Sense? / Original Languages - Kirk Carmichael

    Why Doesn’t The Bible Make Sense? / Original Languages - Kirk Carmichael

    In this episode I try to get an understanding of why there are so many different bibles and ideas of what God is in Christianity. 

    Those that know me, know I am not the most religious, in fact I joke that if I were to go to church that it may collapse on me. But I know in this world there exist a true evil that most are unaware of because the sheltered lives that many live here in America and if there is evil well then there must be good. 

    This conversation is a way to start understanding the Bible from a standpoint of a curious nature.

    My goals is not to disprove it so much but to better understand it for myself by asking questions I wasn’t allowed to ask as a kid to find the common thread where we are all connected. 

    Now, I don’t expect to solve it all here but I think with each perspective it will help me unfold it. 

    I hope at the very least you find this entertaining but as always each episode is random as I do not have a script or often times do not know how it’s going to go.

    Why Are UFOs/UAPs Sightings Still A Back Story? - 11 Aug 2022 - Ep 53

    Why Are UFOs/UAPs Sightings Still A Back Story? - 11 Aug 2022   - Ep 53

    What's going on y'all.  In this episode we switch it up a bit and get into a subject that used to get thrown into the "crazy" pile of society with Bigfoot, Loch Ness and so on. UFO's now known as UAPs have been wildly been a backstory to all the crazy stuff going on in the world today.

    I bring Chugg up to speed with this topic, just scratching the surface. We get into all the "evidence" that has been circling the UFO community for decades  and some more current videos that were released with Commander David Fravor (Navy Aviator) chasing a Tic Tac shaped UAP.  I also share of my experiences I witnessed with my mom in New Mexico of all places and even a more recent one in Colorado last month.

    Have y'all experienced anything like this?

    Please sit back and relax on the way to your favorite trail head, commute to work or where ever this episode finds you.

    Equine Assisted Therapy Rustic Ranch Texas -Rustic Ranch - Nina Guerra - Ep 53 -  11 July 2022

    This week we have Corina (Nina) Guerra who is a Marine Core Veteran, who started up a veteran non-profit which will specialize in Equine Assisted Therapy for veterans and the surrounding community. Like many veterans she identified that she had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol and decided to deal with it head on. Seeking treatment through the traditional methods of "talk therapy" she became aware that this methods were not helping her and sought another way to continue to heal.

    We get into the weeds of her up bringing and how that has shaped into the person she is today. Now pursuing her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, and her and her family's years of experience of raising and training her horses, I have no doubt she will  be successful in her pursuit to help bring healing to veterans and the surrounding community in South Texas. 

    So please sit back and relax and enjoy this conversation on your way to your favorite trailhead or on the way to work.
