From Drug Smuggler to Healer: How Nick Brewer Created Primal Moves

Coming up on this episode of the Dr. Hyman Show. Went from cracked out of cocaine to cracked open in your consciousness. I smashed myself to pieces. I got into drug trafficking, I found myself in South America. I wound up with 10 years in prison in Argentina for smuggling cocaine. And I had a broken body and a broken mind.
