This week on Grounded Wellness, we journeyed to the lush North Shore of Kauai to sit down with a truly inspiring guest — Doug Wolkon, co-founder of Kauai Farmacy. Doug’s path is one of radical transformation, from a fast-paced career in New York finance to cultivating a regenerative herbal medicine forest in Hawaii. His story is a living testimony to what it means to return to the land, reconnect with ancestral wisdom, and let nature lead the way toward healing.
This episode will give you a renewed respect for the plants growing in your backyard (or at your farmer’s market), and a powerful reminder that wellness doesn’t have to be complicated — it just needs to be intentional.
If you’ve been burnt out, foggy, or stuck in cycles of trying everything and still not feeling well, this conversation will feel like a full-body exhale.
