In this episode, we wrap up our discussion around the meditation cult we were both involved in and bring it back to comics.

Renee Linnell's memoir "The Burn Zone" describes her extensive involvement in a cult posing as a meditation group.  Over a span of years, Kent was marginally involved, Doc was heavily involved, but no one's involvement could rival Renee's.  She ended up being taken advantage of financially and sexually by the cult's leaders and is now openly speaking about her experience.  In this episode, Doc and Kent discuss her memoir.

(Apologies for the horrible sound; Kent's voice comes through loud and clear, but Doc and Johnny's don't).  This part 2 of an interview where we chat with Johnny Suarez, a practitioner of functional medicine:  a field that focuses on excellence in getting positive results through western and eastern techniques alike, without waiting until the body is pushed into egregious trauma.  This discussion ranges from medicine to philosophy to the nature of existence itself.
