YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 163 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Marc-John Brown. I met Marc-John a few years back practicing jiu-jitsu together with my friend and teacher Bruno Momeni (who I also interviewed for this podcast). I was impressed with Marc-John’s skill and we realized we were on similar paths. So it was a pleasure to finally sit down and connect and learn more about Marc-John. He shared and spoke about his journey at a young age through South America learning from indigenous earth-based traditions, his wife and her cacao lineage, and how these practices can help us in our modern world. It was a really enjoyable conversation and I trust you all will find Marc-John’s wisdom useful and insightful.

Ep. 162 - Dr. Bryan Ardis - Nicotine as Medicine, COVID, & Big Pharma

YouTube version:

 

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 162 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Bryan Ardis. Dr. Ardis was recommended to me by a few friends due to his research on the benefits of nicotine. As I work with tobacco as medicine I found his research and ideas to be a great match. I also really respected Dr. Ardis’ stance during COVID, speaking up against tyranny and the lack of science disguised as science. This is a really fascinating conversation about nicotine as medicine which has been much maligned. Nicotine and tobacco are in fact wondrous medicines if used properly and we spoke about a lot of the propaganda behind tobacco, the monopoly of Big Pharma, the COVID pandemic, and his view of the future. This conversation will surely be an eye-opener for many and for others a reminder of a deeper calling.

“Dr. Ardis is one of the world’s most inuential and respected voices in alternative medicine. He’s a crusader for Truth and Justice in Healthcare and has become a beacon of hope for those seeking natural, holistic healing in a world often dominated by controversial treatments and policies.

In his groundbreaking bestselling book Moving Beyond the Covid-19 Lies; Restoring Health and Hope for Humanity, Dr. Ardis exposes decades of hidden agendas and deception by the U.S. government and the pharmaceutical industry. This jaw-dropping work, now in its third printing, has garnered massive acclaim, reaching #1 in multiple categories, including Healing, Vaccines, and Medical Books. Dr. Ardis provides readers with natural remedies for over 200 symptoms of Covid-19 and Long Covid and reveals how to protect yourself from future pandemics that he believes are already being orchestrated.

On his weekly podcast The Dr. Ardis Show, he shares his latest research and insight and fearlessly advocates for those whose voices have been silenced by the medical establishment. His work serves as a clarion call to individuals everywhere: Trust your body, seek the truth, and don't blindly trust Big Pharma.

As co-founder of the transformative wellness conference Healing for the A.G.E.S., Dr. Ardis has taken his message of healing and hope to millions around the world. Bringing together researchers and top doctors in natural medicine, they share new approaches to medical care that prioritize natural remedies over corporate profit.

Dr. Ardis has been a headline speaker on the ReAwaken America Tour and his thousands of media interviews have solidied his reputation as a thought leader in alternative medicine. He has appeared in multiple documentaries including Watch the Water 1 & 2, Antidote, and the CoVenom-19 Series. Dr. Ardis lives in Texas with his beloved wife, Jayne, their eight children, as well as several grandchildren.”
