What happens when human waste is rebranded as “fertilizer” and spread across land where people live, farm, and raise families?

In Season 1, Episode 2 (S1E2) of the Truth in Health Podcast, host Chip Paul speaks with Paula Yockel, founder of Mission 503, about the environmental and public health concerns surrounding the land disposal of sewage solids—commonly referred to as biosolids.

Across the United States, biosolids are permitted for land application under the federal 40 CFR Part 503 rule. Paula shares how her family unknowingly purchased land adjacent to areas used for sewage dumping, the serious health impacts that followed, and how that experience led to years of research, collaboration with scientists, and the creation of Mission 503.

This episode connects soil health, water quality, food systems, public policy, and human health, offering a research-grounded, educational discussion on an issue that affects communities nationwide.

In this episode of Chip Talks Health, Chip Paul explains how stress can quietly alter your digestion, immune function, and cellular signaling.

When you live in fight-or-flight mode, your stomach acid and bile production drop — creating the perfect environment for gut imbalance. Chip unpacks how stress changes your Endocannabinoid System (ECS) and shares simple steps to help your body recover.

💬 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What really happens to digestion during chronic stress
• How ECS tone protects your gut and immunity
• Why stomach acid, bile, and motility all matter
• How to support balance with nutrients and rhythm

Do you ever wonder why eating sometimes hurts — even when you think you’re eating healthy?

In this episode, Chip Paul explains why digestive discomfort is one of the most common complaints we hear in wellness care today, and what it reveals about your body’s internal communication system.

Drawing from years of ECS-based research and hands-on work at Neighborly Wellness, Chip breaks down the three most common gut patterns observed in clients:

• Digestive Irritation (H. pylori–like pattern)
• SIBO-type microbial overgrowth
• Parasitic or terrain stress

You’ll learn how these patterns show up, what clues your body gives you, and simple ways to begin restoring balance naturally.

✅ Why 90% of people experience some form of gut discomfort

✅ The difference between H. pylori, SIBO, and parasitic terrain stress

✅ How low stomach acid and nutrient depletion weaken your “border wall”

✅ Simple, natural steps to support healthy digestion and microbial balance

✅ The role of the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) in gut coherence

Your body was designed to operate in harmony — every heartbeat, breath, and cell playing its part in a biological symphony. The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is the conductor that keeps that music coherent.

In this episode of Chip Talks Health, Chip Paul explains what coherence really means and how it shapes your health, mood, and energy. Discover why balancing Omega-3s and Omega-6s, replenishing amino acids, and maintaining B + C vitamins are essential to cellular communication.

When coherence breaks down through malnutrition or infection, static replaces harmony. Chip shares how to restore your rhythm using nutrition, breathwork, and simple daily practices that strengthen your ECS.

Highlights:

• What coherence means in biology and energy
• The ECS as the body’s master regulator
• How cells “raise their hand” through CB1 receptors
• Essential nutrients that build cellular harmony
• TrueMedX formulas designed to support coherence
• Tools for detecting incoherence (bioresonance, thermal imaging)

In this enlightening episode, Chip Paul welcomes Natalie Nicole, founder of Dulsa Life, to discuss how the Dulsa Functional Sweetener is transforming the way we think about sugar.

This isn’t just another sugar substitute — it’s a science-backed, plant-derived innovation designed to help people enjoy sweetness while supporting metabolic balance.

Natalie explains the formulation process, including functional ingredients such as Yacon Root, Bacillus Coagulans, Allulose, Monk Fruit, and Fulvic Acid, which collectively promote digestion, detoxification, and steady blood sugar levels.

Chip and Natalie also discuss the importance of personalization — why individuals with sensitive microbiomes or active gut issues should reintroduce sweeteners mindfully, and how Dulsa can help those breaking free from sugar addiction.

🎯 In This Episode:

• The hidden impact of sugar on metabolism and the ECS
• How functional sweeteners like Dulsa support whole-body communication
• Ingredient science: probiotics, prebiotics, and detoxifiers
• The challenges of innovating in clean food formulation
• Mindful sweetness for long-term health
