  • UC 425: Plant Power & Environmental Wisdom with Dr Greg Clark
    Oct 9 2025

    In this episode, plant biologist Greg Clark joins Cyndi and Kim to explore the fascinating world of plants, soil health, and microbiomes. Greg explains how plants respond to stress, communicate through microbial networks, and maintain symbiotic relationships that mirror the human gut microbiome.

    The conversation touches on the history of the Gondwana landmass, the role of regenerative agriculture, and the importance of individual action in healing the environment. Greg also explains the difference between gene editing and genetic modification, and shares insights into the health benefits of blackcurrants, including their impact on blood flow, energy, and recovery.

    This episode is a blend of science, sustainability, and inspiration, reminding us how deeply connected we are to the natural world, and how small actions can lead to meaningful change.

    Key Topics Covered

    • Plant stress physiology & microbiomes
    • Soil health and plant communication
    • Gondwana landmass and ecosystem evolution
    • Gene editing vs genetic engineering
    • Blackcurrants for cardiovascular support
    • Regenerative farming and environmental resilience

    Quotes As a kid I was always fascinated by living things. Plants are rooted in the ground and have to cope with everything around them. Plant microbes in the soil are like human microbes in the gut. Live in the now and make it better for the future. Blackcurrant powder helps to reduce the impact of stress. It is a vasodilator, loaded with anthocyanin and antioxidants. The linoleum acid in the seeds will help with fat oxidation. It is a fascinating insight when you look at the evolution, ecology, synergistics and resistances in the plant world. We can learn a lot from plants.

When we are in a trauma response we are running in fight or flight mode, in alert mode. Havening calms the nervous system and unlocks the amygdala to create no charge. The memory doesn’t matter – it’s how it made you feel that does. It comes back to education and knowing what consent and boundaries look like. It’s about having great communication to have a good relationship. Sex is not a checklist. You have to be in your body to get in flow. I’m working with the sexual energy through the mind, heart and genitals. Tantra is a philosophy, a way of life. The more awareness you ...
