Join Tonya Papanikolov, Founder of Rainbo Mushrooms and Dr. Kate Hunter, as they discus healing from autoimmune conditions through alternative medicine.

Auricular and Bioenergetic Medicine is a very unique combination of natural empathy, medical intuition, and acupuncture. Dr. Hunter was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and is now in long-term remission. She credits mushrooms and auricular medicine for communicating what her body actually needs to function properly.
