Are you looking for natural flea and tick prevention for dogs without relying on toxic pesticides? In this episode of the Gubba Homestead Podcast, we break down the “terrain” approach to naturally repelling fleas and ticks by strengthening your dog from the inside out.

Instead of focusing only on killing parasites, we dive into how a raw diet for dogs, immune health, skin barrier support, and environmental management can make your pet less attractive to fleas and ticks in the first place. You’ll learn how to use garlic for dogs safely, why the fear around garlic is based on a high-dose extract study, and how small, thoughtful amounts may support natural deterrence.

We also discuss how brewer’s yeast may help repel fleas, how to properly garlic for flea control, and how to apply apple cider vinegar and coconut oil for dogs to support healthy skin and coat resilience.

Finally, we take a clear look at conventional flea and tick medications, what their product inserts actually say, and why many of them are classified as pesticides. If you’re concerned about systemic flea treatments, oral tick medications, or chemical spot-ons, this episode gives you a grounded, informed perspective on natural alternatives.

If you’re searching for:

• Natural flea prevention for dogs

• Natural tick repellent for pets

• Raw feeding for parasite resistance

• Garlic and brewer’s yeast for fleas

• Pesticide-free flea and tick control

This episode walks you through it in detail.

Build the terrain. Strengthen the host. Reduce chemical load. That’s the Gubba Homestead way.

Next Best Podcast Episode: Feeding Your Pets Raw Food

In this episode of the Gubba Podcast, Gubba explores homesteading not as a trend or aesthetic, but as a deeply regulating way of life that restores calm, resilience, and health at a nervous-system level. If modern life has left you anxious, overstimulated, or disconnected, this conversation explains why working with your hands, tending animals, growing food, and living seasonally can feel grounding almost immediately.

We dive into how traditional living provides the body with signals it recognizes instinctively—rhythm, effort, completion, and rest. These cues help calm chronic stress, improve sleep and digestion, stabilize emotions, and restore a sense of safety and orientation that many people feel they’ve lost.

This episode also explores why self-sufficiency resurges during uncertain economic times, how convenience culture quietly weakens resilience, and why skills, food storage, and tangible resources reduce fear at a biological level—not just a mental one. Homesteading isn’t about going backward. It’s about restoring what the body still needs to function well.

This episode is sponsored by Arvoti, Gubba’s natural, clean skincare brand built on the same philosophy discussed here: supporting the body instead of forcing it. Simple, intentional ingredients that work with your skin, not against it. Learn more at arvoti.com.

Homesteading isn’t nostalgia. It’s remembrance. The body has not forgotten what it needs to feel steady, capable, and at peace.

Discover the hidden connections between your mouth and your overall health in this eye-opening episode of the Gubba Podcast: Root Canals, Meridians, and Chronic Illness: What Dentistry Isn’t Telling You About Whole-Body Health.

Join me as we explore natural living, prepping, and self-reliance, and dive deep into a topic I have pondered for years: the potential long-term effects of root canals on systemic wellness. This isn't about fear, it's about awareness, asking better questions, and recognizing how conventional dentistry often treats teeth as isolated parts rather than integral to the body's interconnected systems.

Explore why a root canal creates a "dead" structure in a living body, learn how these hidden, low-grade infections may evade standard X-rays and contribute to chronic stress on the immune system, potentially manifesting as unexplained fatigue, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune issues, or other persistent health challenges far from the mouth.

We will dive into the fascinating concept of meridians from traditional systems like Chinese medicine, where each tooth aligns with specific organs and energetic pathways. 

Whether you're dealing with chronic mysteries, curious about whole-body connections, or simply want to make more informed choices about dental care, this thought-provoking discussion encourages curiosity over convention.

What does regenerative homesteading actually look like when you don’t have acres of land? In this episode, we break down how to build a regenerative homestead anywhere you live, whether you’re in an apartment, rental, suburban yard, or on acreage.

We cover how to build living soil without tilling, cycle nutrients instead of throwing them away, and create food systems that improve year after year. You’ll learn practical ways to work with the land you have using compost, fermented kitchen scraps, mulch, perennials, and intentional garden design.

This episode also dives into how animals fit into regenerative homesteading. From rotating chickens through gardens to using goats for brush control and sheep for pasture improvement, we explain how livestock can heal land, build fertility, and reduce labor when managed properly.

We also discuss simple, effective water management, including slowing runoff, improving soil water retention, and using rain collection to support gardens naturally. Finally, we cover food preservation methods like canning, fermenting, drying, freezing, and root storage, and why preservation is essential for a truly resilient homestead.

This episode is for anyone interested in homesteading, self-sufficiency, regenerative living, food independence, and building systems that last, no matter where you live.

In this episode of the Gubba Podcast, we explore one of the most controversial conversations on the internet: dragons versus dinosaurs. This topic is often dismissed or mocked, not because it lacks evidence, but because it challenges long held assumptions about history, creation, and how we interpret the past.

We walk through why ancient civilizations across the world recorded dragons with striking consistency, while no ancient culture ever recorded dinosaurs. From Europe and China to Africa and the Americas, dragons appear in historical records, religious texts, and early natural history writings as real, dangerous creatures that existed alongside humans.

We examine documented dragon bones in Chinese tradition, known as longgu, and how these physical remains were later reclassified under modern paleontology. We also break down how the word dinosaur was coined in the 1800s, how fossil interpretation depends on reconstruction and assumptions, and why museums often present models that feel like memory rather than interpretation.

This episode goes deeper than bones. We discuss how narratives shape what we are allowed to imagine, why questioning dinosaurs triggers such strong reactions, and how the dinosaur framework places death and extinction before humans ever appear. Dragons, by contrast, exist within moral and spiritual frameworks, warnings, and human history itself.

Ultimately, this is a conversation about memory versus model, testimony versus reconstruction, and whether human history preserves truths that modern frameworks have tried to relabel out of existence.

If you have ever wondered why this conversation feels off limits, this episode will change how you see history.

Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

For generations, families relied on traditional remedies to care for everyday health long before prescriptions became the first response. From coughs and sleep issues to digestion and skin care, these natural approaches were not trends. They were practical tools passed down because they worked.

In this episode of the Gubba Podcast, we explore why natural remedies gradually disappeared from everyday life, how modern medicine became centralized and pharmaceutical driven, and why so many people are now returning to the knowledge their grandmas once trusted. We talk about the historical shift that labeled home remedies as quackery, the role of mineral depletion and nervous system support, and how simple practices like herbal teas, magnesium, broth, and barrier focused skincare supported families for generations.

This episode also dives into traditional skin care, including why tallow was historically used to protect the skin barrier and how simplifying modern routines can dramatically improve dryness and irritation. If you are interested in homesteading, self reliance, traditional living, or reclaiming practical health skills, this episode offers a grounded and educational look at remedies that stood the test of time.

Perfect for anyone curious about natural medicine, homesteading skills, traditional health practices, or understanding how we moved from kitchen remedies to prescription first care.

In this episode of the Gubba Podcast, we explore a controversial and rarely examined theory: that key biblical events may have taken place in what we now call Utah, and that modern maps may not tell the full story of ancient history. By looking closely at geography, water systems, place names, and historical patterns, we compare biblical descriptions of Judea, Jerusalem, and the Jordan River with striking similarities found in the Utah landscape.

This episode examines why certain biblical place names cluster in the American West, how sacred geography may have been relocated over time, and why questioning official historical narratives is often discouraged. We also explore early reports, archaeological inconsistencies, and psychological conditioning around maps, authority, and belief.

You don’t have to accept every theory presented here—but if you’ve ever questioned where biblical history really happened, or why some questions are treated as off-limits, this episode will challenge you to look at the land, the Bible, and history itself in a new way.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most natural ways to nourish your health: eating seasonally. Our ancestors didn’t count calories or track macros — they simply ate what the land provided, when it provided it. Modern science now confirms that our gut microbiome, hormones, and immune system thrive when we follow nature’s rhythm.

You’ll learn how seasonal foods cleanse in spring, hydrate in summer, ground in fall, and restore in winter — and why eating locally strengthens both your gut and your connection to the land.

When we eat this way, digestion improves, energy stabilizes, and the body feels aligned again.

Key Takeaways

• Your microbiome shifts with the seasons — your diet should too.
• Local foods teach your immune system about your environment.
• Real food, in season, is the foundation of vibrant health.

Nourish Your Skin, Too

Just like your diet, your skincare should align with nature. My handcrafted tallow balms and cleansing oils are made with real, nourishing ingredients your skin understands.

In this episode of the Gubba Podcast, we dive deep into the hidden history of bells, cathedrals, and organs, not as simple instruments of worship, but as powerful tools of healing and resonance. 

Were bells tuned to frequencies that harmonized the human body? Did Gothic cathedrals serve as massive energy chambers, amplifying sound for public health? And why, during the world wars, were countless bells dismantled and melted down under the guise of “ammunition”?

From the lost frequencies of 432 Hz to the destruction of monumental pipe organs and the silencing of towers that once rang across entire cities, this episode explores how sound may have been used as medicine, and why it was erased during what many call the Great Reset.

Join me as we piece together a forgotten chapter of history, connecting bells, healing frequencies, Tartaria, and the world fairs into a narrative that will change the way you see the past, and the world around you today.
