Know Better | Do Better

Faith, Boundaries, and Healing from Destructive Relationships — this week's episode is packed with the kind of wisdom that speaks straight to the heart and anchors you in truth.

Leslie Vernick is truly a gift—someone who has taken the pain of her tragic childhood and turned it into a lighthouse of hope for others. Through her story and biblical insight, God has used her message to impact thousands of lives across the world.

Today, we're talking about destructive relationships of all kinds, and how to find freedom, truth, and peace without losing love or yourself in the process. Leslie shares practical, biblical wisdom on setting healthy boundaries, recognizing destructive patterns, and walking in the kind of confidence that's rooted in God, not people-pleasing.

Leslie Vernick is a biblical counselor, licensed clinical social worker, relationship coach, and best-selling author of The Emotionally Destructive Relationship and The Emotionally Destructive Marriage. With more than 30 years of counseling experience, she equips women to live with clarity, courage, and Christ-centered conviction—no longer trapped by guilt, fear, or unhealthy loyalty.

This episode is for every woman who's ever felt torn between faith and survival, loyalty and self-respect. If you've been told to "just endure" or "pray harder," this conversation will remind you that God never called you to stay silent in suffering. He called you to stand in truth—and that's where real healing begins.

You'll learn:

• How childhood trauma shapes adult relationships

• Why boundaries are a form of love, not rebellion

• How to discern between ministry and manipulation

• What the church must do to better support women in pain

• Why your worth as a child of God is non-negotiable

Through Leslie's books, speaking, and coaching, Leslie empowers others to break free from toxic dynamics and live with clarity, courage, and compassion.

You've heard it your whole life: "Don't get too close, you'll catch a cold."

But what if that's not how sickness works at all? What if health isn't about dodging germs, but about creating an environment your body actually feels safe in?

Today, I'm sitting down with Daniel Roytas, author of Can You Catch a Cold? and a natural medicine practitioner who's challenging one of the biggest medical assumptions of our time—the idea of contagion itself.

We're talking about what the research really shows about colds and flu, why sick people don't necessarily make healthy people sick, and how your environment, your emotions, and your beliefs play a far bigger role in healing than you've ever been told.

This isn't about fear. It's about freedom- from false narratives, from medical myths, and from the belief that your body is broken.

If you're ready to question the story you were raised with and see illness through a completely new lens, this conversation will change the way you think about your health, your body, and your power to heal.

🧾 Guest Bio Daniel Roytas is a natural medicine practitioner, researcher, and author who challenges conventional germ theory and helps people rediscover the body's innate intelligence. His work explores terrain theory, environmental health, and the deep connection between mindset, belief, and healing. Through his teaching and practice, Daniel empowers others to understand that health isn't something you fight for—it's something you create from within.

What if the biggest health crisis of your life became the turning point that saved it?

Chris Reade joins me today with a story to share — including what he discovered that completely flipped the medical narrative that type 2 diabetes is not a lifelong sentence, but instead a reversible condition and he found the science to prove it.

Chris Reade is an entrepreneur, technologist, author, and avid determined researcher who uncovered the truth about type 2 diabetes and metabolic health. I don't know about you, but I imagined this would be a complicated subject — and it absolutely blew my mind when he shared two simple words that changed the diabetes game for him. He's here now to give you hope that healing isn't out of reach.

📌 Guest Bio: Chris Reade, the founder of LookFar, has helped nearly 200 startups grow through technology and strategy while leading initiatives like the Ada Lovelace Awards, celebrating women in tech. After reversing his own type 2 diabetes, Chris authored Beating Diabetes: How a Botched Insurance Renewal Saved My Life to empower others to take control of their health through evidence-based, practical tools.

In this week's interview, I sat down with Dr. Tom Cowan — a physician turned alternative health pioneer — for a wide-ranging conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about biology, medicine, and healing.

He dares to question the mainstream narrative, peel back the veneer of convention, and invite you into what he calls the New Biology. Together we explore how our culture has become scientifically illiterate and dive into ideas you've rarely heard: why the heart isn't merely a pump, how structured water may hold the key to true vitality, and how emotion, environment, and movement reshape the body from the inside out. Expect thought-provoking detours into immunity, mold, autoimmunity, and what really powers you as an electromagnetic being, not just the chemistry you learned in school.

If you're ready to stop treating symptoms and start thinking differently about what it means to be healthy, join us as we pull back the curtain on a new kind of medicine, one that's been hiding in plain sight.

🧾 Guest Bio: Dr. Tom Cowan Dr. Tom Cowan is a physician, author and speaker whose work disrupts conventional medical thinking. With a deep background in both traditional medicine and alternative approaches, he invites us to reconsider the very foundation of biology. He has written extensively on the heart, nutrition, herbs, and the unseen forces that shape our health. As a founding board member of the Weston A. Price Foundation and a longtime lecturer, Dr. Cowan brings a unique blend of scientific curiosity, spiritual insight and clinical questioning to the field.

What happens when a doctor refuses to bow to government pressure, prioritizing his oath and his patients over political mandates?

In this episode you'll meet Dr. Kirk Moore, a physician who faced federal charges during the plandeneic era, for how he chose to navigate vaccine mandates. Dr. Moore's story is layered with courage, controversy, and conviction. While some called his choices deceptive, others see them as the ultimate act of medical integrity, protecting patients from coercion while staying true to his Hippocratic oath.

This is not just a conversation about COVID. It's about ethics, autonomy, and the future of medicine. Whether you agree with Dr. Moore's choices or not, his story forces us to ask the hard questions: Who really owns your body — you, or the system?

🩺 Dr. Michael Kirk Moore is a 59-year-old physician and former Navy Flight Surgeon from Utah who faced up to 35 years in prison—not for harming patients, but for honoring his oath to "do no harm." During COVID-19, he administered saline in place of vaccines with informed consent for those under coercive mandates, treated patients free of charge, and stood for medical autonomy. Relentlessly prosecuted, jailed, and stripped of his credentials, Dr. Moore never wavered. In July 2025, all charges were dismissed, marking not just his legal victory, but a powerful stand for truth, ethics, and freedom.

**This is PART 2 of the Holographic Blood series with Adam & Josh Bigelsen.

What if your blood carried the story of your health—not just your lab numbers?

In this two part eye opening episode of the 'Know Better | Do Better' podcast, Autumn McLees sits down with Adam and Josh Bigelsen, sons of the late Dr. Harvey Bigelsen, he pioneer of Holographic Blood® and author of Doctors Are More Harmful Than Germs. Together, the Bigelsen brothers are carrying forward their father's groundbreaking legacy, teaching how holographic blood analysis and the terrain paradigm can reveal what lab tests miss: the body's hidden imbalances, unresolved emotions, and self-healing wisdom.

This conversation dismantles mainstream assumptions about disease and flips the narrative:

• Why so-called "autoimmune" diseases don't actually exist

• How symptoms aren't enemies, but healing messages

• Why skin is the body's most overlooked detox organ

• How parasites, mold, and microbes may not be the villains we've been taught to fear

The Bigelsen brothers invite you to see your body through a radically different lens—one that honors the body's design, exposes the failures of germ theory, and empowers you to reclaim your health from the inside out. If you've ever questioned your diagnosis, wondered why symptoms keep coming back, or sensed there's more to healing than prescriptions, this episode will give you a framework that makes sense of it all.

📌 Guest Bio: Adam and Josh Bigelsen are international speakers, educators, and holistic health coaches dedicated to advancing their father's pioneering work in holographic blood analysis. Adam integrates research, education, and sound therapy into the Bigelsen Method, while Josh brings decades of hands-on training and a deep focus on the connection between human health, terrain, and the earth. Through the Bigelsen Academy, they teach and consult worldwide, revealing the profound messages our blood holds about healing and sovereignty.
