Get Reconnected to Nature by Embracing your Inner Caveman with Mark Merriwether Vorderbrugge
Jan 03, 2022•36 min
Episode description
Mark “Merriwether” Vorderbruggen, Ph.D. has always walked the path of the medicine man. He grew up in the wilds of Minnesota where his parents and grandparents utilized the amazing wild foods and medicinal plants found in local woods, fields, and lakes. His parents understood the healing powers in nature...whether it be plant, mushroom, or physical interactions. The healing connection with nature that Dr. Vorderbruggen has known since childhood is foundation to who he is today.
His passion for foraging and wildcrafting comes across in his foraging classes and medicine making workshops, the daily plant posts on social media, his internet show “Merriwether’s World!”, monthly foraging articles for CHARM East Texas magazine, authoring books such Idiot’s Guide Foraging and Outdoors Adventure Guide Foraging (to be published 2022), along with countless appearances on TV, radio, and interviews across the internet. He extols the benefits of being more in touch (and taste!) with the small bits of wild that were still available.
The winding path of his past has finally led Dr. "Merriwether" to the place where he belongs. With Medicine Man Plant Co., he now has the resources needed to bring the ancestral plants directly to people. His original dream of sharing the healing powers of nature with others has come true!
