What happens when a nationally-ranked triathlete becomes obsessed with human optimization and applies ancient winemaking techniques backed by modern science? You get one of the most fascinating conversations I’ve had in years.

Meet Jim Pfeiffer — owner of Turtle Run Winery, former elite triathlete, and a health pioneer who was warning about seed oils and glyphosate long before it was popular. In this episode, Jim shares why he connected seed oils to the diabetes epidemic back in 2004, the shocking truth about heart disease before 1850, and how modern toxins like glyphosate sneak past your brain’s defenses.

He also dives into how a devastating injury led to his triathlon career, the diet that fueled his performance, and how he still swims over 5,000 yards well into his 50s.

You’ll also learn how your taste bud count can predict your wine preferences, how wine competitions are scientifically flawed, and why Jim’s wines don’t give you hangovers. His natural wines are made using traditional methods with zero artificial additives — and they ship to over 40 states.

🔥 Here's what Jim reveals in this episode:

➡️Why he connected seed oils to the diabetes epidemic in 2004 (when everyone thought he was "nuttier than a fruitcake") ➡️The shocking historical fact: heart disease was virtually non-existent before 1850 ➡️How glyphosate chelates aluminum and sneaks it past your blood-brain barrier ➡️Why sunscreen SPF went from 4-10 to 100+ (hint: the sun didn't change) ➡️How a career-ending injury led to national triathlon ranking ➡️The Zone Diet principles that fueled his athletic success ➡️Why he still swims 5,000 yards at age 50+ ➡️How taste bud count (500-12,000 range) determines your wine preferences AND career path ➡️Why wine competitions are scientifically flawed (he proved it with the same wine getting both gold and bronze) ➡️The "Ganzfeld Effect" that destroys your palate after 20 minutes ➡️How he makes sweet wines with arrested fermentation (no added sugar, no hangovers)

Don't forget to use code POI20 for 20% off at turtlerunwinery.com - and remember, if you over-indulge, you won't wake up with a headache because these wines are made the way humans have been drinking wine for thousands of years.

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Grant Pagdin, a regenerative medicine leader running a groundbreaking Health Canada-approved study on osteoarthritis. Using stem cells derived from the patient’s own body, this non-surgical treatment is showing real, lasting results:

✅ 2 out of 3 patients see meaningful improvement ✅ Relief lasts 3–5+ years (some still pain-free after 7!) ✅ Works for knees, hips, shoulders, ankles—even hands ✅ All three tested methods worked equally well

Dr. Pagdin’s study of 147+ patients reveals a surprising plot twist: every protocol showed similar success—potentially reshaping how regenerative therapy is approached worldwide.

We go beyond arthritis to explore: 🔹 Hormone optimization (and what most doctors miss) 🔹 Game-changing peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 🔹 Non-invasive ways to stimulate your body’s stem cells 🔹 Why many patients prefer bone marrow over fat harvesting 🔹 The truth about going private in today’s broken healthcare system

This episode is a must-listen for anyone facing joint pain, working in medicine, or curious about the real future of healing.

What if I told you that the chronic fatigue, autoimmune symptoms, and mysterious health issues plaguing millions of people all stem from the same overlooked cause? And what if there was a technology that could identify and address this root cause using nothing but frequencies? 

This week's Pod of Inquiry guest will blow your mind!

Dr. Bernard Straile, a German-born chiropractor turned frequency medicine pioneer, has developed something that sounds like science fiction but is grounded in cutting-edge genetics research.

Dr. Straile's "bio-scanning" technology can detect infections and imbalances energetically - before they show up on traditional lab tests. He's literally measuring the frequencies of pathogens like Lyme disease, distinguishing between acute and chronic forms, and targeting them with specific scalar waves that travel faster than light.

🔍 Discover In This Episode:

➡️Why 96% of people carry chronic Epstein-Barr Virus (and why doctors miss it) ➡️How scalar frequencies can "speak" to your genes ➡️The real cause behind Long COVID and unresolved infections ➡️What the "cellular internet" is — and how ancient medicine mapped it first ➡️How allergies, Lyme disease, and sugar metabolism are all connected ➡️The truth about bio-scanning tech that detects infections before lab tests

Dr. Straile bridges cutting-edge genetics, ancient wisdom, and quantum biophysics — offering real solutions for those stuck in chronic illness. 

His IMAET System technology is available for both practitioners and self-help. If you're tired of managing symptoms instead of addressing root causes, this episode offers a completely new roadmap.

Dr. Christopher Estes just dropped some serious knowledge bombs in our latest episode that will change how you think about testosterone – and it's not what you expect. This isn't your typical "just inject testosterone" conversation.

Something alarming is happening to young men's health, and most doctors are completely missing it. Dr. Estes sees 30-something men walking into his clinic with testosterone levels of 100-150. That's not "low for their age" – that's catastrophically deficient for ANY age.

In this episode, you'll discover: ✅ The "pyramid approach" to hormones that addresses root causes instead of just symptoms ✅ Why DHEA is the most overlooked hormone (and which test 90% of labs get wrong) ✅ The cortisol-testosterone connection that explains why stressed men can't build muscle ✅ Environmental toxins that are stealing testosterone from an entire generation ✅ The estrogen factor in men that nobody talks about (but could save your prostate)

Dr. Estes is a board-certified OB-GYN, trained at the University of Miami, has a master's in epidemiology, and brings both academic rigor AND functional medicine wisdom to the table. He breaks down the science in a way that makes sense, debunks dangerous medical myths, and gives you actionable strategies you can implement immediately.

Meet Lara Heimann, a physical therapist who's revolutionizing movement with her LYT Yoga method. What she shared completely flipped my understanding of what yoga can actually do for your body.

Here's what blew my mind: 🧠 She helps stroke patients walk again using techniques you can apply to your own body 💪 Her resting heart rate is 46 without doing any traditional cardio 🎯 She combines PT principles with yoga to create something way more powerful than either alone ⚡ The "tight hamstrings" problem isn't what you think (and sitting stretches make it worse!)

Lara breaks down the SCIENCE behind why most people feel tight, how your nervous system is sabotaging your mobility, and why that "herniated disc diagnosis" might be missing the real problem.

The best part? She's created a system that works whether you're: • A complete beginner who can barely touch their toes • Dealing with chronic pain • Over 40 and worried about falls • A biohacker looking for maximum efficiency

Lara's offering Pod of Inquiry listeners 5 weeks for just $5 (normally $40) with code "movebetter"

Trust me on this one – even if you think yoga "isn't for you," this conversation will change your mind. Lara makes it accessible, scientific, and actually practical for real life.

What if I told you that the varicose veins you've been dismissing as "cosmetic concerns" may  actually be causing neuropathic pain, DVTs, and serious complications in up to 30% of your patients?

This week's episode with Dr. Amit Lakkaraju will completely change how you think about venous disorders! He is back with revelations that will make you rethink every varicose vein consultation. 

After listening to this episode, you'll never look at those "simple spider veins" the same way again. Dr. Lakkaraju's insights on the connection between venous insufficiency and neuropathic pain are genuinely practice-changing.

The Shocking Statistics You Need to Know: • 20-30% of the population suffers from venous insufficiency •

In our latest episode, you'll meet Eric Van Der Hoeff – a man whose journey from fruit cultivation expert to psychedelic retreat facilitator is nothing short of remarkable. After a single intense "psilohuasca" experience in 2018, Eric left behind three decades of business success to dedicate his life to guiding others through transformative plant medicine experiences.

In This Episode You'll Discover:

➡️The shocking intensity of traditional shamanic training (80% of ceremonies involved purging from medicine so strong it defied description) ➡️How ancient peoples discovered ayahuasca's precise recipe from 80,000 Amazon species – a feat that staggers modern understanding ➡️The difference between tourist ayahuasca experiences and authentic shamanic practice ➡️Why Eric believes psilocybin is the better starting point for most Westerners ➡️The profound dreams and plant communications that changed his understanding of consciousness forever

This isn't just about psychedelics – it's about the courage to completely reinvent your life in service of something greater. It's about bridging ancient wisdom with modern understanding. And it's about one man's relentless quest to separate authentic spiritual experience from wishful thinking.

In the latest episode of Pod of Inquiry, Dr. Stephen Barrett dives deep into the controversial world of homeopathy with 42-year veteran practitioner Dr. Michael Johnson.

This episode is perfect for anyone frustrated with conventional medicine's approach to chronic conditions, anyone curious about homeopathy, or those looking for natural alternatives to pharmaceutical interventions. Dr. Johnson doesn't hold back, sharing insights from his 42-year career and explaining why he believes pharmaceuticals "have a place in acute care, but not in chronic conditions."

What you'll discover in this eye-opening conversation:

➡️The shocking truth about how the 1910 Flexner Report demolished alternative medicine in America ➡️How Dr. Johnson recovered from liver and heart failure using his own homeopathic protocols ➡️The frightening connection between Big Pharma and Big Agriculture (and why it matters for your health) ➡️Revolutionary testing methods that conventional doctors are completely ignoring ➡️Why sunlight exposure might be critical for your health (contrary to what dermatologists tell you) ➡️The truth about glyphosate in your food and why Americans struggle with wheat while Europeans don't

This episode is perfect for anyone frustrated with conventional medicine's approach to chronic conditions, anyone curious about homeopathy, or those looking for natural alternatives to pharmaceutical interventions.
