  • I Thought Organic Cotton Was Safe Here's What I Found Out

    I Thought Organic Cotton Was Safe Here's What I Found Out
    2026/06/20
    I thought organic cotton was safe...until this interview. I've spent years helping people reduce their toxic load — in their kitchens, their cleaning products, their food. But, what Courtney shared really surprised me.Most of us who are paying attention to what goes in our bodies. But, we don't necessarily pay attention to the clothes we wear. Some of us buy organic cotton. We read labels & we wash before we wear.It turns out that may not be enough.And, if you wear yoga pants, this one is definitely for you.Sustainable fashion expert Courtney Barriger has spent over a decade inside the fashion industry — interviewing scientists, toxicologists, and manufacturers, and getting back the reports most of us never see. What she shares in this episode about what's legally allowed on a certified organic garment, what happens every time you wash synthetic fabrics, and what certain fibers are doing to your hormones will change how you open your closet tomorrow morning.This isn't about making us feel guilty, but it is about information you deserve to have — and practical swaps you can make one step at a time.Guest: Courtney BarrigerSustainable fashion expert, award-winning artist, and author of ReFashion Workshop: The Planet Healing Mindset.

  • She's Jewish. Jesus Showed Up in Her Healing Session. Here's What Happened.

    She's Jewish. Jesus Showed Up in Her Healing Session. Here's What Happened.
    2026/06/09

    What if the reason you can't heal has nothing to do with your body?


    Lisa Schermerhorn has bent rebar with her throat, walked 40 feet of red-hot coals, and watched a client's blood change under a microscope during a remote healing session.


    But what she does with the subconscious mind might be the most radical thing of all.


    In this conversation we get into why the symptom you've been treating may not be the real problem, how trauma you inherited can run your health without you knowing it, and what happens when healing reaches across time — and across what we think is possible, including something neither of us saw coming.


    Lisa Schermerhorn is the international best-selling author of In Every Belief is a Lie and a featured cast member in Zero Limits with Dr. Joe Vitale. As a subconscious mind expert and quantum healer, she helps people release limiting beliefs, ancestral trauma, and emotional blocks — and has the results to prove it.

    Before You Buy Another Supplement, Ask These Questions First
    2026/05/25

    What if the answer to feeling better isn't adding more — it's asking better questions first?


    Veronique Ory is a yoga teacher, author, and autoimmune disease survivor who spent years fighting her body before she learned to listen to it. As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, she also understands something most wellness conversations skip, that what we carry in our bodies isn't always ours alone.


    In this episode Veronique shares the simple but radical shift that changed everything: stop reaching for more, see what you can eliminate, and start paying attention to what your body is already telling you.


    You'll learn:

    • Why pain is a messenger, not an enemy
    • How to find movement you'll actually stick with
    • Simple micro-movements you can do anywhere, anytime
    • How to build a daily rhythm that supports your nervous system
    • The easiest meal prep approach for busy women who don't cook

  • Still Sick? 50 Years in Medicine Points to What Everyone's Missing

    Still Sick? 50 Years in Medicine Points to What Everyone's Missing
    2026/05/16

    You've seen the doctors; you've run the tests.

    And the answer is always the same: "Everything looks normal."

    But you're exhausted, inflamed and you're not bouncing back. And nobody can tell you why.


    This episode is for anyone who suspects their body is trying to tell them something that conventional medicine keeps missing.


    Dr. Jess Armine is a healthcare provider with 50 years of experience across emergency medicine, the U.S. Army, chiropractic care, and functional medicine.

    He holds one of the first certifications in neuroendoimmunology — the study of how your nervous system, hormones, and immune system work together — and he has spent decades identifying what keeps chronically ill people stuck: nobody is treating the cellular foundation.


    In this conversation, he lays out a clear, step-by-step explanation of what goes wrong — and exactly what to do about it. This isn't vague wellness advice.


    He walks through:

    - Why leaky gut is quietly driving fatigue, autoimmune disease, anxiety, and inflammation in millions of people — and the specific protocol to repair it.

    - The cell danger response: what it is, why it gets stuck, and what that means for chronic illness

    - How mitochondrial dysfunction drives fatigue, fibromyalgia, and brain fog

    - The difference between different types of vitamin and mineral supplements — and why absorption changes everything

    - Digestive enzymes, prebiotics, and what to use if you have anxiety

    - Why SSRIs can't work if your body isn't producing serotonin to begin with

    - How the spike protein may be preventing recovery — and how to test whether it's still in your body A specific compound shown to actually denature the spike protein


    Whether your health shifted during the pandemic or you've been struggling for years with something no one can explain, Dr. Jess gives you a real framework for understanding what's happening in your body — and a concrete starting point for healing from the inside out.

  • The 3 Step Detox Framework That Actually Works

    The 3 Step Detox Framework That Actually Works
    2026/05/09

    Most detox advice is either too extreme, too vague, or just plain wrong. In this episode, naturopathic doctor Jen Mann breaks down the 3-step framework she uses with her patients to detox safely and effectively — starting with what your body already knows how to do.

    Dr. Jen was told her own labs were "normal" while suffering from chronic fatigue, brain fog, and digestive issues. That frustrating experience led her to naturopathic medicine and ultimately to founding Nova Wellness in the SF Bay Area, where she specializes in getting to the root cause of chronic illness.

    We cover how to test for heavy metals, why your gut health determines how well you detox, what binders actually work, and why doing too much too soon can backfire.

    If you've been struggling with unexplained symptoms and conventional medicine hasn't given you answers, this one's for you.

  • What Your Feet Reveal About Your Health (And How to Fix It)

    What Your Feet Reveal About Your Health (And How to Fix It)
    2026/05/02

    What if your feet could tell a practitioner everything that's going wrong in your body: your inflammation, your grief, your parasites, your dehydration, before you said a word?


    Foot zoning is an ancient healing practice that goes far deeper than reflexology, and most people in the US have never heard of it.


    In this episode, I sit down with certified foot zone therapist, Annemarie, who trained for a year under one of the most respected practitioners in the field, and she breaks down exactly what she's finding on people's feet, and what she does about it.


    We get into the surprising things she can detect just by touch and sight. And, why almost everyone she works on is dehydrated. Also, she can detect a parasite nest on your foot (eek), and why one client cried for three days after a session, and why that was actually a good thing.


    We also talk about safe detoxing, the one tea she recommends to every woman regardless of age, and her daily health practices.


    If you've been chasing symptoms without getting to the root cause, this episode might change how you think about healing entirely.

    What If Your Symptoms Aren't Physical — They're Unfinished Business?
    2026/04/25
    What if your body is still carrying every relationship that never got closure — and that weight is quietly driving your anxiety, your symptoms, and your inability to move forward?Dr. Adam Suzman spent 25 years as a homeopathic doctor before developing something he'd never encountered in any medical literature: layered frequency remedies designed not to treat symptoms, but to finish unfinished business.His patients keep reporting the same thing. Old wounds close. Physical symptoms disappear. Relationships frozen for years suddenly resolve — sometimes through dreams, sometimes through encounters so strangely timed they're hard to explain away.This conversation goes deep into the remedies he's most known for, his work with autism, a discovery involving one of the most biologically unusual creatures on earth, and a personal story that made him question everything he thought he knew about healing.Fair warning: this one is not mainstream. But thousands of people across multiple continents have used these remedies — and the stories in this episode are hard to shake.What unfinished business might your body still be holding onto?Resources mentioned: Immortal Wellness: https://immortalwellness.net/iw/292/Explore Green Living Now: https://www.greenlivingnow.com/TIMESTAMPS00:00 When homeopathy wasn't strong enough — so he made it stronger 00:42 The pearl and the grapefruit: how layered frequencies work 01:46 From 5,000 remedies to 20: why he simplified the whole system 04:47 Liberation: the remedy that finishes what your past left unfinished 06:10 The woman whose car broke down 100 yards from her estranged parents' door 08:25 "Is this just placebo?" — he answers directly 09:15 What Carl Jung said about dreams that changes everything 10:06 Autism trials: teaching the brain to watch a thought before reacting 12:00 The autistic boy, the bunless burger, and the convertible 13:23 Creation: how do you reverse-engineer your best day ever? 15:00 Jupiter light as a homeopathic remedy (yes, really) 15:46 The man who meditates for a week and chants mantras into water at 4am 17:00 Can you combine remedies?
