Dr. Maya is a conventionally trained pediatric neurologist, herbalist, and author of The Dirt Cure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today our conversation primarily digs into her book The Dirt Cure. We answer questions like what is health? Why it is important for us to be outside? Should we be afraid of getting dirty? Is it important to source (or grow) organic teas and herbs? And why we should we be enjoying our tea outside, with our bare feet in the dirt...So take off your shoes, grab some tea, step outside, relax, &amp;amp; enjoy this episode of OpTEAmized!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr. Maya&amp;#39;s Links:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://drmaya.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.instagram.com/drmayashetreat/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Try Fresh Steeps tea products to support your health with the freshest adaptogenic herbs and tea! &lt;a href=&#34;https://freshsteeps.com/collections/all&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to try yours today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Looking to meet like minded tea lovers?
