Homeopathy is a commonly practiced system of medicine, worldwide. And yet it is sometimes regarded with a fair amount of skepticism. Today, Dr. Lauri Grossman, President of the Board of Directors of the National Center for Homeopathy, addresses how (and why) to get started with homeopathy in your own home.
She tells the story of what originally sparked her own interest in homeopathy. She covers what it is and how it works. And how we can use it for our children, as a complement to conventional treatments. Dr. Lauri also offers simple first steps for applying it to our families' health and explains why you don't have to be "crunchy" to give homeopathy a try.

Is it bad to not take a rest day? What are the red flags that you're over-training (or maybe under-training)? Should women cycle-sync their workouts?

Today, Kelsee tells us how to make the most of our workouts as women and she answers her most frequently asked questions like: How do we reduce our chances of injury? Should we rest our injuries or work through the pain? How quickly do we decondition if we take a break from training? What role does diet play? And what about rest? From her own experience as an athlete--running ultra-marathons and 50-mile races--and as a top-notch trainer who has worked with the best, Kelsee offers important insights and tips for training for optimal performance and health.

Improved digestion. Clearer skin. Brain fog clearing up. These are some of the benefits of paying attention to the quality of ingredients that go into (and on) the body! Gubba Homestead, a leading figure in the homesteading and natural skincare community, experienced all of the above and then some. Her family’s health improved, too, as they began avoiding toxic chemicals and returning to more natural foods and products.
Gubba tells her story today and also what led to her recent de-platforming on TikTok. (She was talking about the dangers of ingredients in sunscreen when her account was taken down.) She explains where her passion originated and why she won’t give up helping people uncover what’s in their food and skin care products. Finally, she also gets into what led her into homesteading and why she believes we can all become homesteaders in our own right (even if we live in the city)!

Defend your right to drink raw milk, to buy food directly from your farmer and to keep your bodily autonomy! Julie Dean Richards, the Crunchy Legal Lady, helps us understand what our rights are when it comes to all of the above and then some.
She goes over how to obtain a religious exemption to vaccinations, how to identify health practitioners who honor your right as a parent (so that your children will not have to get shots if you don't want them to). She discusses the Amos Miller case and Private Membership Agreements and whether or not they are helpful for protecting your rights to purchase food from the farmer of your choice. And last, but not least, Julie reminds us that we can be activists without ever turning up in a courtroom or at a protest at city hall.

Fascia is a kind of "sensing organ" (connective tissue) that extends from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. How can we work with it, improve its suppleness, and benefit from its healing capabilities? Today, Elisha Celeste of the School for Living Science and the Human Freedom Project podcast, helps us wrap our minds around this mysterious, all-encompassing tissue.
Elisha goes over the kinetic energies in nature and how they relate to how our bodies function, and consequently how our fascia acts and reacts to our environment. She offers tips for optimizing fascial health (like the importance of hydration for the fascia to work properly) while also reminding us that there is not one simple technique for healing that works for everybody. Elisha also busts common misconceptions around fascia and even fascial release.

Radio Frequency ID (or RFID) has been presented as something of a modern-day branding system, allowing for the identification of cattle and other livestock on farms across the U.S. That sounds benign enough…until you realize that RFID is actually a livestock surveillance system that poses a threat to our farmers’ rights to raise their animals without government interference and may impinge on the free market relationship between farmers and consumers.
John Moody, co-founder of the Rogue Food conferences, explains today exactly what’s at stake when it comes to legislation in the works for RFID (radio frequency ID). He starts with reviewing the history of legislators attempting to regulate how farmers manage livestock. He goes over the implications of RFID’s gathering data on the location of livestock as well as accessing their vaccination schedule and more. And the ways in which this slants the market in favor of bug-based food. He also explains why consumers should be concerned since even a private buying agreement doesn’t keep them unaffected by this initiative (should it pass). Finally he offers action steps we can take to prevent this Big Brother kind of governmental overreach related to our food freedom.

If the bird flu virus hasn't been isolated, why does it matter? What are the implications? Has any virus EVER been isolated? These are questions that have the potential to undermine our current understanding not only of viruses but of all sicknesses. Jamie Andrews is the Project Manager overseeing control studies to reexamine our understanding of virology. He addresses today the methodology for the new studies, the reason behind them, and what this has to do with our own personal approach to wellbeing and nurturing good health.

What's the deal with bird flu? Is it actually something we should be worried about? What's the history of it? And why has there been a focus on it and why have millions of chickens been slaughtered because of it?
Jacob Diaz, an independent researcher, explains today some of its history. He goes over what has happened this time around (and when initial bird flu "outbreaks" took place in the 2000s). He covers the flaws in the PCR testing and the logic of the supposed sickness and how the fear may be a tool to influence us to rely on Big Food and Big Pharma, rather than on independent small farmers and our own wherewithal for our health.
Side note: Since this interview was recorded, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared Monkeypox a “public health emergency of international concern.” We would put Monkeypox in the same category as the bird flu: a tool to instill fear and designed to coerce the public into getting unnecessary vaccines.

If you feel worn out and wrecked, like your life and hormones are out of balance, you are not alone. It's a symptom a lot of us deal with, a common result of our 24/7 busy lifestyle. The good news is that you aren't stuck! There are some simple ways to get your life (and hormones) back on track!
Dr. Tami Meraglia, author of "The Hormone Secret," offers insights on just that: how to regain hormonal balance and health. She discusses how women can naturally support their bodies before, during, and after menopause. She talks about testosterone (yes, women need this, too), thyroid health, and what inhibits its proper function. Finally, she reminds us that lab results on paper don't tell the whole story.

Structured water is critical to good health. But what is it? How do we get more of it in the body? And can it really help us detox from disruptive ingredients in covid shots and other injections? And prevent or even help us heal after heart attacks?
Dr. Stephen Hussey addresses all of the above in today's conversation. Stephen is the author of Understanding the Heart, and he has done a deep dive into what caused his own heart attack (at age 34!) and how to shore up health. He is convinced that it has everything to do with structured water (also called EZ or 4th phase water). Today he discusses how to create more of this critical water in the body and how it can help us not only detox from shots but heal and in the process, safeguard our health altogether.

In this episode, Phoenix shares his journey and emphasizes the importance of viewing food as our medicine. He discusses deceptive "greenwashing" labels that mislead the public into believing certain products are healthy and natural.
