What if the most human moment of your life has been outsourced to a system that profits when you’re afraid? I sat down with obstetrician Dr. Stuart Fischbein and midwife Blyss Young to pull back the curtain on how birth moved from a normal, physiological process to a hospital-centered, intervention-first business—and what families can do to take their power back.

Dr. Stu traces the shift from independent practice to employed medicine and managed care, showing how coding, liability fears, and insurer rules shape the choices you’re offered. Blyss brings you inside the midwifery model: hour-long prenatal visits at home, real conversation, hands-on assessment, and a calm, protected labor environment where movement, food, and privacy help nature work. Together, we examine the “cascade of interventions,” why labels like high risk often reflect institutional anxiety more than evidence, and how outcomes improve when we honor physiology and reserve intervention for true need.

This conversation goes deeper than hospital vs. home. We talk microbiome seeding, delayed cord clamping, breastfeeding, bonding, and maternal mental health—measures of success that rarely appear in studies but define family life for years. We also cover cost and access: why medical sharing can fund midwifery care, how to audit your local hospital before you need it, and the practical questions that reveal whether a provider supports VBAC, vaginal breech, and informed choice.

If you want birth to feel safe, humane, and yours, this episode is your roadmap. Subscribe, share with someone expecting, and leave a review with one insight you’ll use to advocate for your next appointment. Your story can change how another family welcomes their child.

A wave of new listeners arrived, so we pulled back the curtain to reintroduce what we do, why we do it, and where we’re steering the show next year. After two decades in holistic health, we’ve learned that most people don’t need more tests or bigger supplement stacks—they need a cleaner map of reality. We talk through the “healthcare matrix,” why disease labels often distract from root causes, and how to think clearly when institutions and incentives push complexity.

We also share a listener-friendly on-ramp. Start with early monologues that build a foundation for health decisions, then explore the most-played interviews on chlorine dioxide, parasites, psychiatric medications, and autism. If you’re curious about sacred cows, check out The Myth of Unbalanced Hormones and a deeper dive into deception and control across global systems. These conversations are not about outrage; they’re about coherence—linking history, logic, and biology so you can act with confidence.

Looking toward 2026, we outline the themes we’re tackling: hospital births versus home birth, the corrupt world of health insurance, suppressed biophysics and electro-molecular tools, and fresh looks at heart disease, virology, vaccines, gut health, and toxic burdens—emotional and environmental. On the freedom front, we will probe education choices, the weaponization of therapy, and cultural engineering through media, entertainment, theology, and politics. For people on our email list, Nina joins with a weekly newsletter full of practical recipes and home rhythms, while I share concise essays, Q&A, and episode context.

What if a jar of clay could keep you out of the doctor's office by changing how you handle burns, bites, gut upsets, or stubborn wounds? I brought in Neal Bosshardt, who has spent 50 years teaching and using natural bentonite clay, to share a straight‑shooting playbook: when clay shines, when to be cautious, and the exact methods that make the difference.

We start with the fundamentals—why negatively charged, mineral‑rich clays can adsorb toxins, help control microbes, ease pain, and support a healthier pH. From there, we walk through external protocols that deliver outsized results: cooling fresh burns with a moist gel under plastic, drying infection with thick poultices wrapped in breathable fabric, and changing dressings to both draw out waste and keep wounds moist. You’ll hear vivid recoveries: a brown recluse bite turning the corner in days, a pinned ankle spared from amputation, and a deep gash closing cleanly without surgical closure. We also touch on menstrual pain relief, cracked ribs, and tooth flares that responded to targeted poultices.

Detox strategies come next. Clay baths and hot foot soaks help offload what the body wants gone—so effectively that used soak water can harm houseplants, a surprising sign that the process is real. Internal use is intentionally simple: one teaspoon in water, mixed the easy way by letting clay hydrate before stirring. You’ll learn when to drink the clear supernatant versus the full mix, how to approach food poisoning and nausea, and how to avoid self‑inflicted constipation. We also cover how clay may interact with medications like blood thinners and thyroid meds.

This conversation is about practical, affordable care that respects biology. Keep a ready‑to‑use jar of clay in the kitchen. Know the difference between moist and drying applications. Use foot soaks when energy and elimination lag. And if you’re on essential medication, time things wisely. Want Neal’s guide?
