Show Notes

 In this episode of GrabLives Podcast, Jon sits down with Caitlin Thompson, founder of Medicine Frog Kambo, a senior practitioner and international guide currently based between Bali, Indonesia and San Diego, California.

Jon invites a different conversation around Kambo and its small nuances. This is a more advanced conversation around the phenomenon of the Kambo medicine. Caitlin has approached this medicine as a pioneer and trailblazer. Caitlin’s background is in neurobiology, with emphasis in mood disorders and autoimmune conditions. In pursuit of her own health, Caitlin has studied nutritional neuroscience and helps people conquer their chronic health struggles, autoimmune and psychiatric conditions through diet, nutraceuticals and other healing modalities (such as Kambo).

Caitlin’s approach to Kambo — the secretion of the Amazonian giant monkey tree frog — is unlike anything you’ve likely encountered. Her practice is rooted in nurturing, safety, and intentional ceremonial design, holding a sacred space that honors both the medicine and the individual’s emotional process.

Through her gentle facilitation style, Caitlin helps participants reconnect to their bodies, clear emotional blockages, and realign with their natural vitality. Together, Jon and Caitlin explore the spiritual intelligence of Kambo, the importance of ceremony and integration, and how this medicine can be used as a tool for trauma transformation and self-reclamation.
