Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 164 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Udo Erasmus. Udo is a very fascinating guy. We sat down and spoke of his incredible life, from his childhood fleeing WWII, his journey with psychedelics and religion, his quest into psychology and medicine, his pioneering work with healthy oils, and his journey of inner knowing. We went over 3 hours and I think we easily could do another 3. Udo has a lot of wisdom to share and I trust you all will get much from this episode.

“I was born during the second world war in Europe, and sometimes you will hear me say that I was born in hell and with a lot of help from visible and invisible friends, walked a long crooked path from there to heaven. Along the way, I tried out many things and learned a lot. Every trade and job, every movement or breath and every step led me to the next turn on the path to find new, different and out-of-the-box possibilities. After being poisoned by pesticides in 1980, I seriously turned my passion and attention to health. I obsessively studied scientific literature, created a method for making good oils with health in mind, developed the first ever flax seed oil, authored several books on the effects of oils on health: Fats and Oils; Fats That Heal Fats That Kill, Choosing the Right Fats, Omega 3 Cuisine, and enthusiastically educated the public in about 40 countries on the effects of oils on health and disease. My fervor and fire are now focused on sustainable energy and water management, as well as healthcare based in nature and human nature, the nature of human nature, and the thirst of the heart resulting in perfect health for you, your family and the world.”

Ep. 163 - Marc-John Brown - Earth Based Traditions & Re-Indigenization of the Modern World

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.”

Hey everybody! Episode 161 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Mariana Mae. Mariana is an artist, cultural bridge and healing arts practitioner that I met through our mutual friend Jessica Begin. I was really impressed by Mariana’s wisdom.
