#231 What's the Wall? Removing the Roadblocks to True, Deep-Seated Healing with Eddie Enever
SuperFeast Podcast
Boom. So, we dove in deep with Eddie Enever on the brutal reality of chronic disease, specifically cancer. The big kicker is that it's not just a physical problem, is it? He frames it—and this is a real stake in the ground—as a "disease of disconnection," forcing you right up against your own mortality. Having walked that gnarly path himself, from Stage 1 all the way to Stage 4, Eddie's insight as a practitioner is monumental. The absolute linchpin, the central theme we hit on, is agency—getting your sovereignty back. It’s about taking total, personal control over your...

#230 Results, Not Excuses: Navigating Regulation and the Limits of Science in Natural Medicine with Matte Legge
SuperFeast Podcast
The conversation with formulator Matt Legge pulls back the curtain on the supplement industry, framing it as a metaphysical struggle between genuine intent and the corporate Machine. Matt’s journey is a hero’s exile from structures like Metagenics, which prioritize efficiency over the soul of the product. This machine churns out soulless, AI-generated formulas that chase "white space," utterly neglecting the deep clinical insight of Root Cause Analysis—a meditation of the pulse. The founder’s sacrifice creates the Pearl of Reciprocity, the organizational soul. The primary struggle is...

#229: Herbal Wisdom, Taoist Principles & Essential Travel Health: The Classical Medicine Guide with Ann Cecil-Sterman
SuperFeast Podcast
What a profound conversation this was—a real unpacking of principles, where the philosophical meets the deeply practical. The core of this whole thing, as we dug into with Ann Cecil-Sterman, revolves around the true action of herbs, which—from the Taoist lineage we follow—comes down to pure taste, not just some chemical breakdown. It’s that deeper "flavor sensing in the stomach." My journey with Superfeast has been about living the great Yin-Yang puzzle: holding the intense contrast between deep Taoist tradition and the necessary reductionist language for Western...

#228: Unveiling the Power of Dream Practice with Clarissa Gunawan
SuperFeast Podcast
If you’ve been here for a while, you know my whole focus is on returning to the roots of a path—an integrated, no-nonsense approach that actually holds up in the modern world. This conversation with Clarissa Gunawan goes straight to the core of a practice we’re all doing anyway, every single night: dreaming. We move well beyond the new-age, “superhero powers” version of lucid dreaming I experimented with in my twenties, and land firmly in the grounded, embodied terrain of Daoist dream work. Clarissa lays out why this isn’t abstract or esoteric fluff; it’s a non-negotiable tool...

#226 Leadership as Seership: Embodiment, Ancestry, and the Alchemy of Culture with Velan Cadden
SuperFeast Podcast
In this captivating discussion, Mason and Velan dive deep into leadership—moving past old-school hierarchies to a more custodial vibe, seeing an organization as a soul, not just a machine. Velan brings in seership—reading a culture through patient observation and awakened senses, like a mycelial network. They touch on elemental forces (earth, water, fire, air) as leadership teachers—especially water as a memory keeper. Leadership, they say, should be about self-education, letting things flow like living systems, and shedding those colonial mindsets that cut us off from our senses. They...

SuperFeast Podcast
Mason and Stephanie Hazel dive deep into the real talk about herbalism and healing in today's AI-driven world. They kick off by revisiting Stephen Harrod Buhner's "heart perception" and stress how crucial it is to actually feel that connection, especially as AI becomes more prevalent. Stephanie calls out the worrying trend of new herbalists losing touch with plants, often due to a lack of hands-on experience and over-reliance on ready-made formulations.

info_outlineTahnee takes the mic in today's special episode as she welcomes Montana Lower, founder of holistic skincare company Bluem, on the show.
Tahnee and Montana share a beautiful discourse around the raw nature of mothering, what it's like to be a mother and business owner/CEO, greenwashing in the beauty industry, using nature as medicine, trusting your body's inherent wisdom and letting your intuition guide the way.
The women recount their journeys into motherhood, championing pregnancy and birth as portals into self-love, self trust and personal power.
Tahnee and Montana share passionate exchange on the medicinal actions of plants, both emphasising that natural lore will always reign supreme over the scientific model.
Montana poses the question; is it nature backed by science or is it science backed by nature? Do we as a collective put our faith only in the word of a strategically measured metric or do we trust the innate knowing of the earth and the seeds that sprout into the flora of her nurturance?
An advocate for living life in alignment to your values, Montana is no stranger to making difficult decisions, choosing only to engage with practices and products that sustain and nourish the land and the creatures who occupy it.
You can feel the integrity in each word Montana speaks, her energy is infectious and inspired, it's impressive to hear such grounded conviction in someone so young.
I really enjoyed this one, I hope you do too.
Montana & Tahnee discuss:
- Montana's journey into motherhood.
- The birth of her company Bluem.
- Healing ancestral wounds & working with your family.
- Greenwashing in the beauty industry.
- Mothering in business.
- Trusting in nature over science.
