Chasing Eden

For centuries, cultures around the world have turned to clay for healing, detoxification, and renewal. Today, bentonite clay is making a comeback as people rediscover its powerful ability to bind toxins, restore minerals, and support both internal and external health. In this episode of Chasing Eden: Natural Health God’s Way, Caroline Thompson explores the fascinating history and modern uses of this mineral-rich earth remedy.

From the volcanic origins of bentonite clay to its role in ancient medicine, we’ll unpack how this negatively charged clay attracts positively charged toxins and heavy metals, escorting them safely out of the body. Featuring insights from natural health experts like Dr. Eric Berg, Dave Asprey, Gary Brecka, Dr. Ardis, and Dr. Barbara O’Neill, this episode dives into the science and tradition of clay healing.

You’ll also learn practical ways to use bentonite clay—whether as a food-grade supplement in water, a detox bath, a soothing face mask, or even a hair treatment. If you’re searching for a safe, natural way to cleanse and replenish, bentonite clay may be the mineral healer your body has been missing.

Oatmeal has been called a breakfast staple, a heart-healthy superfood, and even a survival food that sustained generations. But what’s the real story behind this humble grain? In this episode of Chasing Eden: Natural Health God’s Way, Caroline Thompson uncovers the fascinating history of oatmeal, from its rise as a famine food in Europe to its modern status as a marketing darling of the food industry.

We’ll explore both sides of the oatmeal debate: is it an affordable, fiber-rich food that supports heart health, or is it a gut-irritating, blood sugar-spiking grain filled with lectins and antinutrients? Featuring insights from leading voices like Dr. Eric Berg, Dave Asprey, Gary Brecka, Dr. Ardis, Dr. Barbara O’Neill, and Dr. Steven Gundry, this episode digs into whether oatmeal is fueling your health—or silently draining your energy.

We’ll also talk about the role of lectins in oats, the dangers of glyphosate contamination, and how traditional preparation methods like soaking and sprouting may transform this ancient food into something far more digestible. If you’ve ever wondered whether oatmeal belongs in your diet, this episode may change the way you look at your breakfast bowl forever.

For decades, iron deficiency has been treated with endless iron pills, yet many people still struggle with fatigue, anemia, and low energy. Could the real problem be a missing mineral? In this episode of Chasing Eden: Natural Health God’s Way, Caroline Thompson uncovers the forgotten role of copper—a mineral essential for iron metabolism, energy production, and vitality.

From the days when copper pipes and cookware infused our water and meals, to today’s soil-depleted, plastic-piped world, we’ve slowly removed copper from our lives. The result? Rising rates of fatigue, iron deficiency, and connective tissue problems. Drawing on the insights of Dr. Eric Berg, Dave Asprey, Gary Brecka, Dr. Ardis, and Dr. Barbara O’Neill, we’ll explore how copper supplementation—through foods, capsules, or even copper vessels—can restore balance and energy.

We’ll also look at the practical ways to bring copper back into your daily routine, the importance of balancing copper with zinc, and how to avoid common mistakes. If you’ve ever felt drained despite taking iron, this episode could change the way you think about minerals and your health.

Welcome back to Chasing Eden: Natural Health God’s Way. I’m your host, Caroline Thompson, and today we’re diving into a fascinating—and somewhat controversial—topic: a little blue dye that’s been around for over a century, yet may hold some of the biggest keys to human health, vitality, and longevity.

I’m talking about methylene blue.

Now, at first mention, methylene blue might sound like something you’d find in a chemistry lab, not a wellness cabinet. But according to researcher and author Mark Sloan in his book The Ultimate Guide to Methylene Blue, this humble compound has been studied extensively for decades and has shown remarkable benefits across a wide range of conditions.

In today’s episode, we’ll explore methylene blue’s surprising history, the science behind it, and its potential role in combating aging, neurodegenerative disease, viral infections, depression, pain, and even cancer.

But before we get into the benefits, we need to step back and understand something that’s often called a “miracle molecule” but may actually accelerate aging and disease—nitric oxide.

“Welcome back to Chasing Eden, the podcast where we rediscover what it means to eat like humans were designed to. I’m your host, Caroline Thompson. And today, we’re talking about one of the world’s most beloved—and misunderstood—foods: the potato.

are comfort food. They’re mashed at Thanksgiving, fried at fast food chains, and hidden in the crispy edges of potato chips. But according to food archaeologist, chef, and author Dr. Bill Schindler, we’ve strayed far from the way our ancestors prepared and ate them.

So today, I’m going to take you on a journey through the history of potatoes, the surprising dangers of eating the wrong kind—yes, even that green potato chip you may have crunched without thinking—why French fries can be toxic landmines when fried in seed oils, and how you can reclaim potatoes in your diet the way nature intended.

We’ll also talk about how to grow your own, and a powerful biohack: how freezing cooked potatoes can blunt their glucose spike, making them healthier than you might imagine.If you’ve ever loved French fries—or feared them—this episode will blow your mind. Let’s dig in.”

Anxiety, Genes, and the Methylation Puzzle: How 40% of the World Carries a Hidden Mutation

“Welcome back to Chasing Eden, the show where we rediscover health and harmony through a mix of ancient wisdom and modern science. I’m your host, Caroline Thompson. Today, we’re tackling a hidden cause of anxiety that may be affecting you—or someone you love—without you even knowing. According to human biologist Gary Brecka, up to 40% of the world’s population carries a genetic mutation that impairs how their body processes folate. It’s called the MTHFR mutation, and it can lead to a condition known as methylation deficiency.

Why does that matter? Because methylation touches almost every system in the body—from how you make neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, to how you detoxify, to how calm or anxious you feel every single day. If you’ve struggled with unexplained anxiety, depression, brain fog, or fatigue… this episode could shine a light on the missing piece.

We’ll discuss the symptoms, how to test for it, and, most importantly, what difference the right supplementation can make. So stay tuned—because by the end of this episode, you’ll understand how a tiny genetic change could have massive effects on your mood, your mind, and your life.”
