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? Grab “We Eat Clay And We Wear It Too.” You can find the video version plus resources and discounts in our show notes.

Have you ever had your symptoms blamed on “unbalanced hormones” and you were then offered a cream, a pill, patch, or implanted pellet? In this episode, I pull back the curtain on one of healthcare’s favorite narrative constructs and make a different case: Your hormones are not "unbalanced." They are responding to your situation, not rebelling against you. Intervening with hormones doesn't correct a problem, it masks one and CREATES an imbalance.

I detail how “test don’t guess” is a clever sales funnel, and I walk through why lab diagnostics mislead and disempower you. I also do what most doctors never do and show you what REAL informed consent looks like for various hormones like thyroid meds, cortisone, prednisone, progesterone, and so-called "bioidenticals."

Then I pivot from critique to craft: I outline a practical plan to heal your body starting with digestion, microbiome diversity, and liver-gallbladder flow. You’ll hear how open exits, mineralized hydration, quality fats, bitters, walking, earlier nights, and structured fasting re-sensitize hormonal signaling without creating glandular atrophy or traumatizing your endocrine system.

After that, I show will you seven related ways the medical system misinterprets your symptoms. I talk about tumors as containment, autoimmunity as targeted cleanup, obesity as protection when exits are clogged, cholesterol as repair and hormone substrate, colds as unscheduled detox, hot flashes as a post-menopause heat valve, and erectile problems as a health barometer. I tell a real client win—heavy bleeding reversed, eczema reversed, and surgery canceled—showing how first principles beat whack-a-mole protocols. I wrap up with a call to replace the phrase "Medical Doctor" with "Allopathic Doctor" and I make a case that so-called "conventional" medicine is morally bankrupt and ethically constipated. There is a better way!

If you’re ready to swap symptom management for stewardship, this is your map. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s stuck on the testing treadmill of accelerated decline and leave a review with one belief you’re letting go and one habit you’ll add this week.

The label says “natural,” but who’s actually making your vitamins—and what’s riding along inside each capsule? I sat down with Robyn Openshaw to follow the supply chains few consumers ever see, from GMO-corn byproducts turned into “vitamin C,” to deodorized fish oils engineered to hide rancidity, to wool-grease–derived cholecalciferol sold as “vitamin D.” The picture that emerges isn’t a quaint herb shed; it’s industrial chemistry optimized for shelf life, margins, and market growth. If you’ve ever wondered why so many supplements feel underwhelming—or why your cabinet keeps growing while your results don’t—this conversation hands you the map and a flashlight.

We trace how pharma and nutraceuticals became “kissing cousins,” why many ingredients come from the same factories in China or India, and how fillers, binders, and anti-caking agents sneak in under “other ingredients.” We unpack multivitamins and the co-factor problem, show why ascorbic acid isn’t the whole vitamin C complex, and question the over-reliance on the 25D vitamin D test that labels most people “deficient.” Robin shares the eye-opening moment at a Swiss clinic where blood filtration revealed a bag of solvent-like gunk—fueling a methodical, AI-driven investigation into base materials, manufacturing chemicals, and MSDS safety profiles you can verify yourself.

This isn’t a call to ditch everything; it’s a toolkit to cut waste and lower your toxic load. You’ll learn how to read labels, run smarter searches to uncover manufacturing practices, and decide where a thoughtful, targeted support may still make sense. Most importantly, you’ll rediscover the third path between drug and supplement: neither—paired with better food, sunlight, sleep, movement, and stress care.

What if that unexplained fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain isn't "just stress" or aging, but caused by something physically inside your body? Dr. Shaher Khan, a plastic surgeon who exclusively performs breast implant removal, pulls back the curtain on what may be one of modern medicine's most overlooked health crises.

Reading directly from FDA black box warnings and manufacturer documentation, Dr. Khan reveals disturbing facts about breast implants that most women are never told: they contain heavy metals like arsenic, lead, and mercury; they're designed to need replacement every 7-10 years; they require MRI screenings every two years; and silicone can migrate into lymph nodes, organs, and tissues where "it may not be possible to remove."

While mainstream medicine often dismisses breast implant illness (BII) symptoms or attributes them to stress, thousands of women report the same constellation of symptoms—fatigue, joint pain, autoimmune issues, cognitive problems—that mysteriously disappear after implant removal. Dr. Khan shares remarkable recovery stories and explains his meticulous "en bloc" surgical technique that ensures complete removal of implants and the surrounding capsule tissue where toxins accumulate.

This conversation goes beyond physical health to examine the emotional dimensions of implants: the external pressures that lead women to get them, the partner dynamics involved, and the profound psychological relief that comes with reclaiming natural health. Dr. Khan's compassionate approach acknowledges both the personal choices women make about their bodies and the medical community's failure to provide genuine informed consent.

Whether you have implants yourself, know someone who does, or simply care about understanding how foreign substances affect our bodies, this eye-opening discussion challenges conventional wisdom about cosmetic procedures and reminds us that sometimes the path to healing begins with removing what doesn't belong.

What if nature already contains the solutions to many of our health challenges? In this eye-opening conversation with Dr. Scott Johnson—naturopath, author of 28 books, and one of the world's foremost authorities on essential oils—we uncover how plant medicines can work with remarkable potency while avoiding the toxic side effects of pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Johnson's passionate journey began with his own diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis, a rare auto-inflammatory condition doctors told him would require lifelong medication. After experiencing stomach ulcers from conventional drugs, he discovered powerful herbal remedies that not only healed his stomach but eventually put his "incurable" condition into remission. When he excitedly shared this breakthrough with his rheumatologist, instead of curiosity, he was met with dismissal and anger—a moment that crystallized his mission to help others discover natural healing pathways.

We explore what makes essential oils unique in the spectrum of plant medicines. Unlike herbs or tinctures, these concentrated volatile compounds can penetrate cell membranes, cross the blood-brain barrier, and reach deep into the respiratory system. Perhaps most importantly, they maintain nature's complete formula rather than isolating single compounds, creating what Dr. Johnson calls "side benefits rather than side effects."

The conversation gets practical with specific recommendations for common conditions. For inflammation and pain, a blend of frankincense, copaiba and fir oils taken in a capsule has helped countless people find relief. For allergies, the combination of lemon, lavender and peppermint works through multiple mechanisms: peppermint as a bronchodilator, lavender as a natural antihistamine, and lemon supporting overall immune function.

Throughout our discussion, Dr. Johnson emphasizes that essential oils should complement—not replace—healthy lifestyle foundations. "No amount of taking an essential oil is going to override poor diet and sedentary habits," he reminds us. Yet when integrated into a holistic approach, these powerful plant extracts can dramatically reduce our dependence on pharmaceuticals and help us reclaim our inherent healing capacities.

Have you ever had your entire life upended in an instant? At 41, with a wife and four children depending on me, I found myself filing for bankruptcy after our fitness studio of 12 years collapsed. Standing amid the ruins of what we'd built, I had to make an impossible choice: accept the only job offer I had or bet on myself with no safety net.

That moment of crisis became the crucible for everything I now understand about creating breakthroughs in life. Through tears and raw vulnerability, I share how bankruptcy burned away everything that wasn't essential and forced me to rebuild with intention. The clean slate became my greatest gift—painful, yes, but ultimately transformative.

This deeply personal journey reveals three critical lessons for anyone facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. First, you must define your "why" and what success truly means to you. My realization that I wanted work to fit around family, not the other way around, became my north star. Second, you need two defiant core beliefs: that failure is an event, not your identity, and that you are adequate to learn from mistakes. The virtues of humility and curiosity became my foundation, allowing gratitude to replace entitlement and fascination to overcome disappointment.

Finally, I discovered that breakthroughs require two types of people: friends who stand by you in your darkest hour, and guides who've solved problems like yours before. Both relationships demand vulnerability—accepting help when you can't repay it, and humbling yourself to learn from others and get gritty learning new skills.

What emerged from this three-year wilderness wasn't just survival but a completely reimagined life. The suffering had purpose. If you're facing your own wall right now, remember that perseverance produces character, and character produces hope. Your breakthrough awaits not by avoiding suffering, but by finding something worth suffering for.
