How Plant Medicine Is Helping Humans & Dogs Heal from Cancer | Michael Pickens | Ep 6

In this first installment of a two-part conversation, Sienna Mae Heath sits down with Michael Pickens, CEO of @botanicalenlightenment a holistic supplement company dedicated to providing natural alternatives for people and pets battling cancer. Michael shares the personal journey that inspired him to start his company, as well as his work with naturopathic doctors to promote whole-food, minimally processed diets tailored to blood type—while warning against the dangers of sugar, seed oils, and chemical-laden foods.

Sienna and Michael dive into the tensions between modern medicine and natural healing, unpack the key differences between medicinal uses of CBD and THC versus recreational culture, and explore the surprising therapeutic properties of pumpkins and mushrooms that play a central role in Michael’s remedies.

Free the People’s mission is simple—to make the values of liberty entertaining, accessible, and human. Free the People deliberately explores issues that bridge the partisan divide—topics like criminal justice reform, health care choice, and opposing corporate cronyism. We produce documentary films, video web series, and podcasts that illuminate the people and ideas changing the world for the better. We reach audiences across the political spectrum as a rational but passionate voice for liberty.

Free the People specializes in video production, creative storytelling, and social media engagement. We are building a community of people who believe in the values of freedom, entrepreneurship, individual responsibility, choice, and peaceful cooperation. Free the People finds and tells stories of people affecting positive change in their community through entrepreneurship and innovation. We defend free choice in everything from drug policy, to health care and retirement, to every aspect of the sharing economy. Our values, like "equal treatment under the law" and "innocent until proven guilty," animate fights for criminal justice reform. We tell the stories of people who have lived through the hardships of authoritarianism and collectivism throughout history. We show our viewers that beautiful things can happen when free people come together to make the world a better place.
