In this episode, Michael Rubino, a leading expert in indoor air quality, joined me to discuss mold exposure and remediation which is something everyone should be aware of. This is the early days for mold awareness, in 20 years everyone will know this, no need to be behind. Michael’s the guy that helped me with my house when I figured out the link between mold and my health.

We explored how mold and poor air quality contribute to serious health issues, including brain fog and fatigue to more severe conditions like autoimmune disorders and long term neurological problems.

We spoke about modern building practices and the rise of mold-related health issues, and why potentially 80% of homes in the U.S. harbor hidden water damage and poor air quality. Michael also provided tips to improve indoor air, including testing methods, air purifiers, and how to identify mold in your home—even when it’s not visible.

We also covered Michael’s advocacy work through the Change the Air Foundation, which aims to improve public health policies and tackle mold-related issues in housing, schools, and military facilities. Enjoy!

Michael Rubino is a mold and air quality expert, environmental wellness advocate, and founder of HomeCleanse, a revolutionary company with the vision to end the worldwide health epidemic caused by poor air quality and toxic indoor environments. He is also Chair of Change the Air Foundation and Host of Never Been Sicker podcast.

In this episode, JBP and I discussed his battle with the Canadian College of Psychologists (who renamed themselves mysteriously!), his “re-education” (which is actually going to happen), and the broader implications of Bill C-63, a piece of legislation that would basically make being a conservative illegal in Canada.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with comedian Brittany Schmitt. We dove into her journey from working in advertising to becoming a full-time comedian, her struggles with alcoholism, her path to sobriety, and the impact sobriety has had on her creativity and social life. Brittany also opened up about life as a female comic, navigating the industry, misadventures in dating, and the challenges of sharing personal material on stage.

In this episode, I had the privilege of talking with Senator Ron Johnson. We discussed his recent Senate roundtable on American health and nutrition that he invited me to speak at recently, RFK Jr. and the likelihood of his cabinet appointment, institutional corruption, and more.

We spoke at some length about the revolving door in Washington and how it effectively hands control of regulatory agencies over to pharma and big agriculture. We also explored the critical role of education and public awareness and our new age of podcast politics in waking people up to corruption in government.

Senator Johnson also shared insights into how mainstream media and political institutions shape public perception–including the smear campaign currently going on against RFK Jr. We spoke about the surprising shift of the country away from the radical left toward populism and the center, and the path toward rebuilding trust in our government. Enjoy!

Ron Johnson was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2010 after running a successful manufacturing business in Oshkosh, Wisconsin for thirty years. From 2015-2021, he was Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and remains a member of it. He currently serves as Ranking Member (soon-to-be chairman) of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and is also a member of the Budget and Finance committees.

Senator Johnson has been a staunch advocate for the vaccine injured, stating that injuries are “real, serious, and not all that rare.” In 2022, he ran for reelection for a third time so that he could continue investigating the corruption surrounding our federal health agencies and Big Pharma and how they have harmed Americans’ health.

Jonathan Pageau is back on my podcast! He spoke about mythology and the decline of meaningful fairy tales, and shared his reimagining of ‘Jack and the Beanstock’ – ’Jack and the Fallen Giants.’

Jonathan explored the role of Saints, scripture, and the difference between Protestant and Orthodox beliefs regarding them.  

Jonathan delved into the mythological significance of classic stories and why they resonate in ways today’s tales often fail to.. Reflecting on the storytelling legacy of old Disney films, he contrasted them with modern animations that feel increasingly shallow, and how the earlier films conveyed themes of good vs. evil, courage, and moral growth, in addition to grappling with complex and powerful religious symbolism. 

Jonathan Pageau is a Canadian icon carver, artist, and speaker known for his unique insights into symbolism, art, and traditional Christian imagery. Pageau explores everything from biblical stories to pop culture, bringing fresh discussions about meaning, symbolism, and the spiritual life to a modern audience.

Hal is the owner of assisted living facilities that use low carb and ketogenic and carnivore diets for their patients. He emphasizes diet and exercise to improve residents' health, focusing on low-carb diets and physical activity to manage chronic conditions like diabetes and dementia.

Real-life success stories are shared, from patients losing significant weight and regaining independence, to those seeing marked improvements in cognitive function. This is how assisted living should be. Enjoy!
