Welcome to the EBE Podcast, brought to you by Empowered by Evidence (EBE)—where we explore clear, practical ways to apply evidence in the real world.

In this first episode, you'll meet your hosts Nigel Pollard and Michael Thomsen.

Nigel Pollard is Chair of the Board of Directors of Empowered by Evidence, a New York-based nonprofit with a bold vision: to bring evidence-based natural health products into mainstream healthcare.
With more than 22 years of chief executive experience and leadership across multiple organizations, Nigel brings deep expertise in turning vision into impact.

Your interviewer is Michael Thomsen, who is now collaborating with EBE. Michael is the creator of the Phytotherapy Desk Reference, a major resource in herbal medicine education.

Through this partnership, the Phytotherapy Desk Reference will be offered via EBE, helping drive high-quality, evidence-informed herbal medicine education.

To launch the podcast, Michael sits down with Nigel for a founder's conversation—an honest, behind-the-scenes discussion about EBE's mission, the evidence-based approach to natural health, and what's ahead for the organization and its community.
