#13. Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be the herbalist that first rode the wellness industry wave? Work in the “wild-west” of the luxury fashion industry? Spend your entire life studying the relationship between plants and people?
Rachelle Robinett is the ultimate herbalism cool girl... and if you don’t know what that means, don’t worry because you will soon! She began her career in fashion before founding Pharmakon Supernatural– a wellness cafe, shop, and product line of herbal gummies called HRBLS.
She is certified in Complementary and Integrative Health, along with Clinical Herbalism, and has spent thousands of hours teaching and speaking to clients in her private practice. She’s known for combining a modern mindset with ancient holistic herbalism. She also spends time professionally consulting for wellness brands. To sum it up, she believes the future of health is holistic, self-guided, accessible, integrated, and nature-based. In other words: herbalism.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
