276: I bet you didn’t know the CIA plays a role in Hollywood… that v*ccine injuries often go undiscussed because people are being paid off and gag-ordered into silence… that glyphosate was originally used as an antibiotic… or that you can deworm yourself and your pets using something called Cina. And did you know we have the right to make our own medical choices and claim our health freedom?

Leslie Manookian is back for a second time after her interview last month—because she has so much more to share about our kids’ health, our own well-being, and the future of a medical system that could take a turn for the worse if we don’t speak up and act.

We dive deep into vaccines and what’s really in them, along with other frustrating truths early in the episode—but please stick around until the end. Leslie also shares some hope: real solutions and insights into how we can help bring our bodies back to balance using homeopathy.

Topics Discussed:

V*x Injuries 

What’s actually in V*xs

NanoTech in V*xs

Baby V*xs

Revolving doors within the g*vrnmnt and hollywood

How stress affects the body

Solutions for various illnesses (including ones children are “born with”)

Natural ways to deworm humans and our pets

Health freedom

275: Menopausal or NOT! Pregnancy, autoimmune diseases, and even gut issues can contribute to bone loss due to nutrient deficiencies. Whether you're pre-menopause, perimenopause, or postmenopause, it's important to care for your bones to help prevent bone density loss.

If you're already dealing with this issue—or know someone who is—then this episode is especially important. Today, we’re diving into natural ways to support bone density without relying on HRT.

And while HRT can be a great option, many people are still looking for alternative ways to protect their bone health. Heck, even if you are on HRT, these tips can still be a valuable addition to your routine. Why not?

Topics Discussed:

Lifestyle ways to support and prevent bone loss

Foods that help bone density

What to avoid to help prevent bone loss

274: From healing autism and autoimmune diseases with bone broth to the sneaky, sad truth about what it actually takes to get on grocery store shelves (spoiler: brands have to pay for shelf space—and they’re often required to go on sale multiple times a year, which eats into their margins), this episode is packed with eye-opening insights. We get into the GAPS diet—what it is and how it works—the realities of USDA regulations, and the little-known details about Prop 65: including how some brands voluntarily put that scary warning on their packaging even when their test results are well below Prop 65 lead levels. My dear friend and sister in Christ, Sharon Brown, founder of Bonafide Provisions, shares her powerful story of helping to heal her son with bone broth, and how that journey led her to create the first company to bring real, traditionally-made bone broth to the market. Plus, we talk about sneaky ingredients in many bone broth products and what to watch out for.

Topics Discussed:

Healing autism and autoimmune disease with bone broth

USDA regulations and challenges

The GAPS diet

Additives and hidden ingredients in bone broth

Prop 65 labels and what they really mean

Lead levels in produce

Why many brands can’t afford to be in stores

FODMAP-friendly bone broth options

273: Is soy actually good for us? Have we been lied to about soy and phytoestrogens? Today I’m sharing some shocking studies on the health benefits of soy and other foods containing phytoestrogens. Soy may not be for everyone—however, it may actually help several women (and men!) in different ways. Here’s what the science says…

PLUS… foods that contain phytoestrogens beyond soy.

STUDIES:

This PubMed study found that Asian-Americans who ate tofu had a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. The more tofu they ate, the lower their risk.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8922298 

Here are 11 PubMed studies highlighting how soy benefits our bones:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19367115

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11095177

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16763748

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14557449

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12920508

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15018488

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10757817

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15702593

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10479216

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15309425

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10966908

It appears that just taking a daily pill containing the isoflavone genistein may be enough to reap some of soy's bone density benefits:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17577003

People in Asia consume much, much, much more soy than those in the West:https://www.smart-publications.com/cancer/daidzein.php

Interestingly, men may benefit slightly more than women from eating foods rich in phytoestrogens. These compounds are linked to reduced risks of cancer, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and several other conditions:

272: Dave Asprey is on the pod today, and this is basically a dream come true for me. When I first started this podcast three years ago, my producer asked me to create a wishlist of the top people I wanted to interview—and Dave Asprey was #1 on that list. So it's such a treat to bring this interview to life and share our intellectual conversation with you all.

In case you haven’t heard of him, Dave Asprey is the father of biohacking. He founded Bulletproof Coffee, and he’s the author of several bestselling books, including his newest 2025 release, Heavily Meditated.

In our conversation, Dave talks about how the mind can alter our state of being and actually change the way the body functions. He shares tools to help improve your health—whether it’s digestion, weight loss, cognitive function, energy production, or more.

We also dive into some controversial topics, like peanuts, nutritional yeast, long COVID, Botox, and of course, his recent facial surgery—what he did, how he recovered, and why antibiotics are a necessary part of the process. He shares tips and tricks for recovery, including what supplements to take and what foods to eat. And if you're dealing with infertility, even after age 40, Dave has tips for that too!

Topics Discussed:

Why you should blend your coffee

His weight loss journey

Why Dave recently got a facelift

The type of facelift he chose

Botox

What everyone should ask their surgeon before getting anesthesia

Recovering after surgery and antibiotics

How to support mold detoxification

Nutritional yeast

Peanuts, nuts to avoid, and low-oxalate nut options

Stevia
