In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with Marianne Williamson for a wide-ranging conversation on Jesus, not as a figure of dogma or doctrine, but as a guide to inner transformation.

Marianne reframes the story of Jesus as a psychological and spiritual map of human awakening. From the birth, crucifixion, and resurrection as inner archetypes, to the idea of Christ consciousness as a latent potential within us all, she invites listeners to reconsider what these teachings were originally pointing toward.

Together, Jeff and Marianne explore why this reinterpretation feels especially urgent now — as traditional institutions falter, collective suffering intensifies, and more people search for meaning beyond rigid belief systems. The conversation weaves together spirituality, politics, trauma, and moral responsibility, offering a vision of inner work as the foundation for collective healing.

In this episode of Sleep Essentials, we step beyond the human bedroom and into the animal kingdom to explore how different species rest, dream, and survive. From insects that pause in rhythmic waves to birds that nap mid-flight, dolphins that sleep with half their brain awake, and octopuses that dream in color, sleep reveals itself as a biological negotiation between vulnerability and protection.

We also explore animal dreaming — how rats replay mazes, birds rehearse songs, dogs relive scent and memory, and what these nocturnal rehearsals suggest about learning, memory, and evolution itself. The episode closes with a simple invitation: to observe how animals rest, and to reflect on what modern life may have taught us to override — our own instincts for stillness, safety, and surrender.

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with Aurora Solá, author of Manifesto on the Future of Food, and Camilla Fayed, founder of Farmacy, a plant-forward restaurant and regenerative food project built around organic, biodynamic sourcing and the belief that “food is medicine.” Together, they explore how our food system became disconnected from soil, ecology, and human health, and what it will take to restore it.

Aurora and Camilla walk through the origins and principles of regenerative agriculture, explaining how practices rooted in biodiversity, soil restoration, and ecological balance can rebuild resilience in both ecosystems and communities. Rather than framing the issue through blame or fear, they focus on practical pathways forward, from supporting local farmers to rethinking how we relate to food altogether.

This conversation is an invitation to see food not just as fuel, but as a relationship, one that shapes our health, our environment, and our collective future.

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff explores how to transform your bedroom into a true sleep sanctuary — a space that signals safety, softness, and rest. Drawing on both ancient traditions and modern sleep science, he explains how light, temperature, scent, sound, and even clutter shape the nervous system and influence how deeply we sleep. Long before sleep trackers and wearables, people understood that the environment itself was medicine — and Jeff brings that wisdom into a modern context.

Jeff also shares simple ways to shield yourself from modern sleep disruptors like artificial light, noise, and screens, and offers practical guidance for creating a space that feels calm and nurturing. From cooling the room to darkening the space to creating evening rituals that gently separate day from night, this episode shows how small, intentional changes can have an outsized effect on sleep quality.

If you’ve struggled with falling asleep, waking in the night, or simply want to deepen your rest, this episode offers a clear, accessible roadmap for building a bedroom — and a nightly ritual — that truly supports your mind and body.

As winter sets in, our immune systems are under new kinds of stress. In this special mashup, Jeff revisits three powerful conversations that explain how the immune system actually works — and how to support it through food, sunlight, sleep, and daily habits.

Dr. Jeffrey Bland explores the immune system as a dynamic, adaptive network that’s constantly learning from how we live.

Dr. William Li reveals how the microbiome communicates with immune cells and how the foods we eat shape that conversation.

And Dr. Roger Seheult shares how vitamin D, rest, and gentle exposure to heat and cold can help the body build resilience and fend off infection.

Think of it as your winter immunity playbook — practical, science-backed tools for staying strong this season.

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff explores the architecture of sleep — the repeating nightly cycles that carry us from light sleep into deep restoration and vivid REM dreaming. He breaks down N1, N2, and N3 sleep, explains why deep sleep is essential for physical repair and immune function, and describes how REM helps us process emotion, creativity, and memory.

Along the way, Jeff highlights the science behind hypnagogia — the imaginative threshold between waking and sleep that inspired minds like Einstein and Dalí — and how understanding these stages can help you wake with more clarity and ease.

Whether you struggle with groggy mornings, restless nights, or inconsistent energy, this episode offers a clear and grounded roadmap for understanding your sleep patterns — and aligning your life with the rhythms your body already knows.

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff unpacks a recent panel he moderated at the Eudemonia Summit featuring Dr. Will Cole and Dr. Jessica Knurick — two smart, thoughtful voices who deeply disagree about the MAHA movement and the future of public health.

Jeff reflects on why nuanced conversations are so difficult in an online environment engineered for polarization, and why real understanding requires asking honest questions and making space for a respectful exchange. He explores the points of tension around chronic disease, regulatory capture, environmental health, and the political contradictions embedded in the current public health debate.

This episode also looks at the broader policy landscape — from SNAP reform to environmental regulation — and why meaningful progress demands both personal responsibility and systemic guardrails.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed by the noise in the public health world, this conversation offers a grounded, thoughtful, and surprisingly hopeful reframe.

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff kicks off a new series on sleep — exploring why rest is one of the most powerful levers for improving our health. One in four adults isn’t getting seven hours a night, and the consequences are immediate: insulin resistance, weakened immunity, emotional volatility, and chronic fatigue.

Drawing from his new Sleep Essentials course, Jeff breaks down what’s actually happening in the body when we fall short on rest — from metabolic disruption to amygdala overactivation — and explains why modern life makes it so hard to wind down. He also explores the evolutionary purpose of sleep, the biology behind deep and REM cycles, and the hidden nightly processes that repair the brain and reset our emotional balance.

This episode sets the foundation for the rest of the series, offering a clear understanding of the sleep crisis we’re facing and why reclaiming healthy sleep is essential to our wellbeing.
