Know Better | Do Better

Some call birth risky. Others know it's a normal bodily function.

Today, we're dismantling the fear-based narratives surrounding birth with a podcast favorite—Dr. Stuart Fischbein (Dr. Stu). He began as a mainstream obstetrician with over 35 years of experience, but eventually discovered a whole new approach to birth after working with midwives. (You can hear more about his story in episode 13 of this podcast.) Since then, he's attended hundreds of home births, published peer-reviewed studies on breech, twin, and out-of-hospital births, and now travels the world teaching physiological birth and informed consent.

Let me tell you—he's the voice you want to hear when it comes to a balanced and healthy perspective on both the risks and the natural design of birth.

In this episode, we're diving into some of the hottest birth topics every woman needs to know—covering what's true, what's fear-based, and the science to back it up. From the political layers of modern maternity care to the financial incentives, routine interventions, and the myth of "high-risk" pregnancies—this episode will challenge what you've been told. It's time to trust your body, question the system, and reclaim your right to birth on your own terms.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why pregnancy isn't a medical emergency—and how fear is used to control outcomes.

• What the research really says about knots and tangled cords around the baby's neck.

• How interventions like epidurals and constant monitoring can disrupt natural birth.

• Why informed consent is often overlooked in hospital settings.

• How to plan ahead, find a supportive provider, and protect your birth choices.

This isn't anti-doctor—it's pro-mother, pro-education, and pro-truth.

Some call it waste. Some call it nature's remedy.

In this jaw-dropping episode of Know Better | Do Better, host Autumn McLees—aka the Alternative Rebel—dives headfirst into one of the most controversial yet powerful healing tools you've likely never considered: urine therapy.

Before you roll your eyes, lean in. This ancient method is more than folklore—it's rooted in science, biology, and autotherapy, the self-healing process where your body uses its own information to regenerate, restore, and reclaim balance. And yes, we're talking about your own urine.

Joining Autumn is Jonathan Otto—award-winning investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker, natural health advocate, and the founder of RedLife™ and Well Of Life™. His 20+ health docuseries have reached millions worldwide, exposing the root causes of chronic disease and spotlighting the treatments top doctors use to reverse them. Jonathan is especially committed to uncovering the truth behind the C-19 bioweapon and offering solutions that are actively saving lives.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What urine therapy really is—and why it's more healing than hype

• How urine is already used in mainstream skincare and pharmaceuticals

• Why autotherapy is rooted in science, not pseudoscience

• How this ancient practice is linked to detox, hydration, and healing

• The shocking overlap between survival medicine, red light therapy, and self-sourced healing

This conversation isn't about shock value. It's about empowerment, resilience, and reclaiming your body's biointelligence.

This week, we're diving into a cutting-edge treatment: a type of stem cell that uses a patient's own DNA to rejuvenate their body. With a specialized laser, these cells can be guided to target specific areas, offering a precise approach to regeneration.

I'm joined by Dr. Neil Neimark, a board-certified physician and pioneer in functional medicine. After graduating with honors from Ohio State University College of Medicine in 1981, he grew disillusioned with traditional medicine's symptom-focused approach and shifted toward holistic health. Dr. Neimark unveils the transformative potential of VSELs (Very Small Embryonic-Like stem cells), activated by the SongLaser, a technology developed by Dr. Todd Ovokaitys. These small, versatile stem cells hold promise for treating various conditions and boosting vitality. For more on his expertise, check out his popular 2019 TEDx talk, "The Promise of Stem Cell Therapy."

Dr. Neimark explains how VSELs, which never age, could redefine regenerative medicine by reversing your biological clock at the DNA level. This deeply personalized approach may unlock unprecedented levels of health, anti-aging, and well-being.

If stem cells intrigue you, this episode educates on a new opportunity that allows you to stay within your own DNA.

What if everything you've been told about food safety, farming, and "sustainable" agriculture is a lie?

Factory farms, government overreach, and chemical-laced food—yeah, we're going there. Today, I'm sitting down with none other than Joel Salatin—the self-proclaimed 'Lunatic Farmer'—to shatter the myths of conventional farming and expose the broken system controlling our food.

In this episode, we're diving into:

✔️ Why factory farming is an environmental disaster—and how it's crushing small farmers

✔️ The dirty truth about food safety laws & how they don't actually protect YOU

✔️ What real regenerative, sustainable farming looks like (hint: it's NOT what you see in the grocery store)

✔️ The Food Emancipation Proclamation – how we take back control of what we eat If you care about what's on your plate, the future of food, and real freedom—this episode is for you.

Dubbed the 'Lunatic Farmer,' Joel Salatin is a pioneer of regenerative agriculture and one of the most outspoken voices in food sovereignty. His family-run Polyface Farm in Virginia has become a model for sustainable, ethical farming, proving that chemical-free, pasture-based farming is not only possible but essential. A best-selling author and speaker, Joel challenges the broken food system, advocating for small-scale farmers and consumer choice in an industry dominated by corporate giants.

This isn't just about farming—it's about taking back control of what's on your plate.
