Do you remember the moment when you "woke up?" Where you started realizing that everything you thought you knew about health wasn't necessarily true?
 You probably have had many moments in your life and you may even be going through a wellness awakening right now.
 Alli was fortunate enough to have her awakening at the same time as her college best friend, Angie Fanning. Sadly it was because both were dealing with parents diagnosed with cancer. As they watched western medicine fail their families, they started to look into a holistic approach to health.
 While everyone else thought they were a little crazy to balk at traditional western medicine practices, and instead start looking into nutrition, supplements, homeopathy, energy healing, and more they were lucky to have each other to go on this journey of discovery together.
 Today, Angie Fanning is a Travel Agent and Founder of AwayBug.com. In this episode Alli and Angie discuss how the pandemic affected the travel business, how Angie overcame her chronic painful bladder infections, how she handled not one but two home-births, and more! And of course, they take it all the way back to college and share their stories of trying to save their parents from certain death and what set them both on the path to wellness. 
 Tune In to Learn:
 - How Alli and Angie learned the truth about health
 - The best natural cure for bladder infections
 - How homeopathy heals
 - The surprising truth about natural births
 - How to have a happy, healthy home-birth
 - The Business of Being Born
 - How the travel business is changing in the pandemic era
 And more!

In the last two episodes of Food Heals, we introduced you to Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty, the authors of The Red Pill Revolution: Exposing The Illusion and Hidden Agendas. Today, you'll hear a reading from Chapter 8 of their book, entitled, "Dis-ease"
In this episode, you'll learn how even health, one of the most sacred human rights, has been corrupted by the System.
Ask anyone from any country if people are healthier or sicker than fifty years ago, and the answer is always "Sicker!" Chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and mental health issues are skyrocketing, even in developing countries adopting modern lifestyles.
There's no question that modern humanity is getting sicker. This suggests two things: our current way of living is causing more health problems, and modern medicine is not effectively treating chronic conditions. These points are hard to dispute, but could this situation be deliberate?
Why would anyone want to cause or allow widespread illness? And why offer ineffective medical treatments? The answer lies in the System, which benefits from our sickness. It turns out, sickness is good business.
Next up, Chapter 8 of The Red Pill Revolution. Get the book on Amazon and join the membership at NaturallyBetter4you.com.

Why Sickness is Good Business and The History of Healthcare (Red Pill Revolution Part 3)

In our last episode, we introduced you to Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty, the brilliant minds behind The Red Pill Revolution: Exposing The Illusion and Hidden Agendas. Today, we delve deeper into their groundbreaking work.
In this episode, you'll get a sneak peek into the book's powerful content. We start with Chapter One, setting the stage for the revelations that follow. Stick around until the end, where we reveal an all-natural treatment for osteoporosis and arthritis that actually works!
Why are alcohol and tobacco legal, but psychedelics outlawed? Why are antidepressants handed out like candy? Why is something as addictive as sugar promoted on the “healthy eating” guide?
We are constantly reminded that our noble leaders and institutions are busy working on solutions. Surely, the scary world of today must give way to a future of peace and prosperity... someday soon!
But of course, it never happens, does it? New wars are justified, countries are bombed, citizens flee around the world, epidemics and famines come and go, oil is spilled, rainforests are cleared, stocks go up, and all the while people everywhere seem to be getting sicker and weaker.
The same question always hangs over everything: with all the taxes we pay and all the great advances in technology and learning, why doesn’t it ever seem to get better?
The most obvious answer must be that a better world was never the intention. If you look carefully, the situation everywhere seems to be getting worse. That can only be deliberate.
We are told that the world is making progress, but the reality is that it gets better only for a select few. By any sensible measure, the rest of us are constantly slipping further into physical, mental, and spiritual sickness.
Illness must be part of the plan.
Enter Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty, co-authors of The Red Pill Revolution and today's guests on Food Heals. This book may be a hard pill to swallow, but it's a necessary conversation for anyone wishing to sanely navigate the chaotic and predatory culture we all find ourselves in. We all know something is just not right. We all sense the imbalance, injustice, and insanity. But what can we actually do about it? Who and what can be trusted?

478: The Red Pill Revolution: Exposing The Illusion and Hidden Agendas with Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty

What if I told you our metabolism is under attack?
88% of Americans are “metabolically unhealthy.”
75% of Americans are overweight or obese.
34% of Americans are pre-diabetic, and 9.4% are diabetic.
Metabolism, or the body’s process of converting food into energy, is vital to our health. A strong metabolism can help promote better sleep, control mood, manage weight, and improve energy levels. An unhealthy metabolism can have the opposite effect.
People who are metabolically unhealthy have less-than-ideal biomarkers, like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes or cardiovascular issues, are linked to poor metabolic health. These conditions are among the leading causes of death in the United States.
Luckily, there is hope. Enter Ketones.
Ketones are a natural source of fuel for your body. They are often created when your stored carbs are depleted, triggering your body to convert fat into ketones for fuel. Unlike fats, ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing ketones to fuel both the brain and the body.
Compared to other sources of energy like glucose or fat, ketones are a more efficient fuel that can produce more power while using less oxygen.
Ketone levels can be measured in a number of ways and are a key biomarker to assess metabolic health.
Ancient humans relied on ketones for fuel, not sugar. But due to modern diets and sedentary lifestyles, we often eat more carbs than we need and store the excess. This prevents our bodies from running on ketones, often leading to reduced energy levels, unwanted weight gain, and chronic metabolic diseases.
My guest today believes that the best version of yourself starts with good metabolic health—and ketones are the answer. Michael Brandt is the Co-founder of H.V.M.N., who makes the shot, Ketone IQ, a little shot of ketones you can take on a daily basis.
The advantages of taking ketones include sustained energy, mental clarity, endurance and recovery, weight management, metabolic health, longevity, and more.
