What if the pills you take every day don’t even work?

That’s the kind of question today's guest has been asking for decades.

He’s one of the world’s leading experts in herbal medicine, with over 40 years spent researching and teaching how plants can heal where modern medicines often fall short.

He’s advised governments, trained doctors, and led the movement to bring herbal remedies into mainstream healthcare.

Simon Mills, welcome to The Diary Of A CEO.

Simon doesn’t see herbal medicine as a replacement for conventional medicine, but as a way to fill in the gaps. He’s researched where modern treatments fall short, and how traditional remedies can work alongside them to improve health and recovery.

We cover:

- Which plants can work better than some prescription drugs? - How is herbal medicine already being used in hospitals - What is the connection between gut health and chronic illness? - Why does big pharma ignore certain remedies? - How can you safely start using plant-based treatments at home?

The more I sit with people like Simon, the more I realise how there is to learn. Every conversation like this opens up new things I didn’t even know. And that’s exciting, because it means there’s still so much to learn and so many ways to grow.

It’s a reminder that health isn’t just about what’s prescribed, but about asking better questions, staying curious, and being open to answers that might change everything. Get access to exclusive Diary of a CEO content: https://bit.ly/circle-ytshorts
