Is the sun really as dangerous as we have been led to believe?
I've always questioned this and have never chosen to shun the sun as a result.
What if some of the most important inputs to your health aren’t found in a bottle—but in sunlight, darkness, and the timing of your daily life?
In this episode, Rachel Maurice returns to continue the conversation from Episode 106 and dives deep into circadian biology, light as a biological signal, mitochondrial function, structured water, melanin, sleep, and the fundamentals of quantum biology.
Rachel shares her own experience with chronic fatigue and sleep struggles after leaving the medical system in 2021—and how two simple changes, morning sunlight and blue-light blocking at sunset, dramatically changed her energy and sleep within weeks.
We also explore why modern indoor environments may be disrupting the signals our biology evolved around, why when you get light matters, the importance of darkness at night, and why getting the fundamentals right may matter more than constantly searching for the next supplement or health hack.

If you still think that high cholesterol is bad, that arterial blockages cause heart attacks and that the heart pumps your blood, then have a listen to this interview to have your heart health paradigm challenged from every angle.
In this episode, I sit down with none other than Dr. Tom Cowan to challenge literally everything we've been told about cardiovascular health and disease. We dig into what really causes heart attacks (the autopsy data may surprise you), why the heart may not function as a "pump" at all, and what's actually driving heart disease.
Tom is a retired alternative doctor, a speaker, educator and author of several books including Human Heart, Cosmic Heart . His fame grew over the last 6 years with a more recent book, The Contagion Myth (co-authored with Sally Fallon Morell), and his many outspoken interviews that run counter to the contagion and viral narratives.
Tom walks through rarely-seen angiogram footage showing the heart's true blood supply, so if you can, you are going to want to watch this one on You Tube or Bitchute. He also explains why statins may do far more harm than good, and offers a radically different — and more empowering — way to think about heart health, autoimmunity and disease in general.
This is a deep one, and it might change how you think about your next blood test, or whether you care to get one at all.
Remember, this is not health advice, this is for entertainment purposes only:)

Finally!
After over 100 episodes I am finally doing an interview on Medicinal Mushrooms. These foods have been a part of my life for almost two decades and I have experienced multiple personal benefits and witnessed many in others.
Today I sit down with Derek Fleming, herbalist and founder of New Earth Organics, to talk about medicinal mushrooms — the science, the history, the marketing myths, and the practical ways to get them into your daily life.
Derek has been deep in this world for 20 years, and his take is one grounded in practicality and tradition. He views these fungi as foods, not supplements, and the longer you use them, the more they work. Whether you're brand new to mushrooms or already taking lion's mane, reishi, a blend or otherwise, this conversation will deepen your understanding of medicinal mushrooms and further your dedication to keeping them in your life.

20:18 – How marketing has confused the medicinal mushroom space and what to watch out for
22:02 – Mycelium as the "internet of the earth" and its role in ecosystems and regenerative agriculture
26:54 – The mycelium vs. fruiting body debate debunked and why mycelium on grain is not filler
31:19 – Why myceliated grain is like sauerkraut — the fermentation process transforms it into something completely different
33:41 – Exopolysaccharides (EPS), the mycelium-only compounds that feed beneficial gut bacteria
37:09 – How EPS drives butyrate production for natural GLP-1 activity, gut healing, and reduced brain inflammation
41:38 – Lion's mane breakdown — erinacines in the mycelium and hericenones in the fruiting body and why both matter
43:24 – Lion's mane for cognitive function, nerve damage recovery, and digestive tract support
45:36 – Why mushrooms work better the longer you take them and how they modulate the immune system over time
47:05 – Where to start with medicinal mushrooms and why blends are the easiest entry point
49:26 – Reishi for stress, liver, heart, and kidney support and the doctrine of signatures explained
51:29 – Maitake for blood sugar, insulin regulation, glutathione, and antioxidant defense
54:01 – Turkey tail for immune modulation and protection against EMFs and radiation
56:51 – Cordyceps for energy, oxygen utilization, mitochondrial support, and lymphatic stimulation — for men and women
1:02:44 – How New Earth Organics differs with a whole food, full life cycle, no chemical solvent approach

1:12:18 – Hitting the fundamentals first (food, water, sleep, mindset) and then layering mushrooms on top
1:13:25 – Mushrooms are food, easy to add to anything, and the legend of medicinal mushroom popcorn
1:16:58 – Pearl powder and its conchiolin protein for skin firmness, oral health, calming, and sleep support

What if the real source of chronic pain, anxiety, poor posture, and stubborn weight isn't your muscles, but your fascia?
I am so excited to be sitting down today with Deanna Hansen, founder of Fluid Isometrics and Block Therapy, to add another dimension to the fascia topic on the podcast. Today we explore more on the powerful role fascia plays in your health, movement, emotions, and longevity.
In 2000, Deanna experienced a major breakthrough. Her large, heavy body stored much pain and she felt weighed down and depressed. While experiencing the worst of a series of anxiety attackIn 2000, Deanna intuitively pushed her hand into her abdomen and, at that moment, began a path of self-discovery.
Deanna talks fascia and Block Therapy, a fascia release method she devised that uses sustained pressure with a specially designed wooden block to release adhesions, which in turn restores circulation, improves posture, reduces pain, and supports the body's own innate healing capacity.
Whether you're interested in fascia release, mobility, chronic pain relief, biohacking, longevity, athletic performance, or optimizing your physical and mental health, this episode offers insights that could change how you think about your body forever.
In this fascinating conversation, you'll learn:

In her 20's, Jana Danielson got off of 11 medications, ended chronic pain, and reclaimed her body and health sovereignty, and it had nothing to do with doctors, surgeries, or even supplements.
One MAJOR factor? Learning how to breathe again. Pretty simple but how many focus on their breath to heal?
In this episode, I sit down with Jana Danielson, Pilates master instructor, fascia expert, and creator of the Cooch Ball — a simple, multi-purpose pelvic floor fitness tool.
Jana went from a 21-year-old on 11 daily prescriptions, dismissed by her own doctor, to becoming pain-free and an advocate and teacher to others wanting to do the same.
I've never studied the importance of the pelvic floor personally, so I am so grateful for coming across Jana and her work. She makes it so interesting and practical, and explains clearly this essential component to our good health - for women AND men. We all have pelvic floors and pelvic floor health is not just for women!
You will learn how there is a good chance your pelvic floor is too tight rather than too weak, how your toes and feet are affecting you, the crazy connection between your big toe and pelvic floor and so, so much more! Check out the show notes for a quick sampling.
This is not new information. It's a remembering of how brilliant your body already is.

8:34 By 21 Jana is taking different medications simultaneously
9:58 The doctor who told her the pain was in her head and walked out

24:43 The deep front fascial line and how your big toe connects directly to your pelvic floor
27:29 Why every shoe you wear is slowly compromising your fascia
29:20 How optimal weight distribution through the feet: is 60% on the heel and 40% on the metatarsals
30:28 How plantar fasciitis develops from a gastroc/soleus imbalance and forward body posture
31:12 The cascade from dysfunctional big toe to collapsed arches, weak glutes, and pelvic floor breakdown
31:34 Why leaking when you cough or sneeze means your pelvic floor is too tight, not too weak
32:33 The three layers of the pelvic floor and how they work as an orchestra
36:51 Simple blood sugar hacks
40:14 The apple analogy and understanding how the diaphragm and pelvic floor work together
43:40 How the diaphragm influences the pelvic floor

47:45 Step-by-step diaphragmatic breathing technique: how to do it correctly right now
48:08 Diaphragmatic breathing delivers 600% more oxygen and activates the parasympathetic nervous system

1:10:49 The pelvic floor as a crystal ball: what it tells you about stress, illness, and emotion
1:12:19 Releasing fascia and emotional release
1:13:10 Why a healing crisis is a good sign
1:15:01 Why leaking more at first on the Cooch Ball is actually a great sign
1:18:20 The daily Cooch ball protocol
1:19:00 The trifecta for anyone starting without a Cooch Ball: breathing, posture, blood flow
1:20:26 Seated posture: using your sit bones to create space for your organs
1:21:36 The Eeyore effect: how slumped posture drains energy and movement creates ATP

What happens when you wake up to the contradictions all around you after working in a system for decades?
Well, for Rachel Maurice, physician for 30 years and anesthesiologist for 20, it meant leaving it all behind to rebuild in a whole new paradigm of health and how the body works.
She worked inside one of BC's largest trauma centres, and then 2020 happened... the mask mandates contradicted everything she'd learned and practiced, the PCR tests didn't add up, a medical injection went from impossible to mandatory in months.
And when Rachel refused to accept the injection, her name appeared on a public board — the lone holdout in the OR.
She walked out in October 2021, never to return.
What followed was a two-year deep dive that shattered her medical paradigm entirely. Today Rachel isn't focused on biochemistry — she's focused on light. The sun, your circadian rhythm, the blue light hijacking your hormones, and why the modern world is quietly dismantling your health one small cut at a time.
In today's show:
5:00 - Rachel's beginnings in medicine
13:48 — Rachel's mom's cancer diagnosis opens the door to questioning conventional medicine
15:59 — Discovering Dr. Joe Dispenza and the radical shift in understanding the subconscious mind
19:26 — The mask truth from an airway expert
30:52 — Walking away from medicine
35:51 — Bill 36 in BC - doctors now face up to $500K in fines, jail time, and home seizure for giving informed consent outside approved narratives
53:27 — Why supplements and hormones can't work without fixing your light environment first
54:54 — The critical sequence of frequencies from sunrise through midday and why missing it matters
57:28 — The EMF protector, heavy metal sink, and natural hydrogen generator your body makes from sunlight
1:02:10 — How morning blue light triggers your hormones
1:18:09 — The hormone nobody measures that's 7 years upstream of insulin resistance
1:22:49 — How you can become insulin resistant without eating a single carb
1:58:37 — How Rachel's mom went from stopping every few steps to breathe to walking 20–30 minutes uphill in two weeks once starting the Lifewave patches
2:05:03 — Four people exit kidney failure using LifeWave patches, something Rachel never saw possible in 30 years of medicine
2:09:14 — How the patches finally fixed Rachel's sleep after 8 months, after doing everything else right
2:14:04 — Walking downstairs forward for the first time in 10 years without realizing it
and more!
I hope you enjoy this conversation! When we build stronger relationships, we build stronger families, raise healthier children and have healthier societies. Literally we can change the world in one generation if we focus on ourselves and our families.

Why do so many relationships fail?
Why do so many settle for a relationship that does not truly make them happy?
What if the key to a thriving relationship isn't only about finding the perfect partner, but becoming the right person?
Today I am back with Tym, the man by my side, to talk about all the ways to get relationship right and to understand what is causing them to break down.
Tym shares his "Relationship is Everything" framework, revealing how most people unknowingly sabotage their connections through misunderstood needs, unexamined expectations, and the relentless pursuit of being understood rather than understanding.
From the engineered breakdown of modern relationships to practical tools for building unshakeable bonds, this conversation offers key to finding the ease, flow, and fulfillment you've been seeking.
Whether you're single, dating, or decades into a partnership, this episode will fundamentally shift how you approach every relationship in your life. But willingness is key:)

I so enjoyed my conversation Andy Hnilo, the man behind Alitura Naturals.
Who would have ever thought that coming so close to facing death in 2011 would be the catalyst for creating an amazing and ever-growing skin care line?
And the story gets even better when we learn that the mask Andy created to heal his mashed up face was the first ever product he brought to market.
Andy has been using amazing ingredients such as colostrum and pearl powder before many even knew what they were. These are 2 ingredients I love keeping stocked in my home, so when I heard about Andy and his products years ago, it got my attention.
In this interview, Andy gets into the story of how he got to Alitura. He is so passionate about what he does, and it comes through so authentically when he speaks of it.
From a baseball player, to getting a lead role in a movie as a baseball player, to a crushing accident, to skin care formulation, and to more recently overcoming addiction, Andy has many stories to share.
And his passion for what he does is undeniable and palpable.
Andy gets incredibly vulnerable about his battle with alcohol addiction and how sobriety transformed everything.
This is a gem of a conversation that touches on resilience, authenticity, ageing gracefully, addiction, gratitude and more.
