When Hersh launched TTF, he committed to engaging fellow truth-seekers with diverse points of view, in pursuit of answers, and having some laughs in the process. He delivers – and so does Mark “Merriwether” Vorderbruggen, Ph.D. 

Key Takeaways:

• To human better, we can GET OUTSIDE, and ENGAGE with nature, because so many answers are there…and it's nicer than our basement.
• Some outcomes may be inevitable (just look at Beer), but science is ultimately our friend.
• Hersh may have six degrees of Kevin Bacon, while Merriwether has more useful Degrees from universities, but when it's 100 degrees outside, who doesn't appreciate air conditioning?? 

What started out as a career in chemistry with a focus on natural products morphed into becoming an internationally-recognized expert in edible and medicinal plants. This in turn led “Merriwether” to realize that a lot of modern Health issues is because the modern world doesn’t give our prehistoric bodies the mental and physical inputs we evolved to need. He now tries to lure people into including simple but effective caveman activities into their lives to give them back their ancestral strength. His background in medicinal chemistry gives him unique insight into the workings of our bodies, leading to his “Go Wild – Get Healthy” mantra.
