Today we're here with the wond...

Are we being mind controlled? What's wrong with a sterilized culture, where speaking out against the status quo gets you shadow-banned and censored across platforms? When free speech and free expression on all sides are egregiously squashed by unelected technocratic powers with zero accountability, it's clear someone is trying to influence or control the conversation. That's why it's more importan...

What's worth more? A $20 bill or a bottle of wine? In a pinch, I've realized real world pleasures like wine can be worth more than cold hard cash. With rising food inflation and obvious issues with our supply chains, it's a good time to make sure you're stocked up on provisions for whatever life throws at you. Which is why, even if you don't drink or you're not drinking right now, having a supply...

You know how a steak is marbled with fat—the fatter the animal, the more fat you see marbled through the muscle meat? Did you know the same thing can happen in your muscles?

I don't know about you, but that image alone is enough t...

Have you tried eating low carb yet? How did it go? How did you feel? Did it last? Be honest. Many people get incredible results by kicking out all the processed junk, sugar, and by dialing down the carbs, but I'm going to be honest with you, I love carbs.

Ever since the world shut down, crippling small businesses, decimating communities and filling us all with fears of certain death, the response from politicians and world government has been disturbingly inadequate, to say the least. Instead of educating the public on how to strengthen our immune system, politicians have preyed on people's fears, divided us, locked us inside, forced us all to cove...

Who’s hijacking the internet? It started out, you'd pick up a phone and you'd call or text one other person. But now, we’re all in these separate little online groups. We're connected but it's also been co-opted. And it attacks us from so many different directions. And no matter how much they try to bury us, we can still find each other, we just might need to try a little bit harder. Well, I’m hap...

Jeff went to work on himself, and shed over 200 pounds! In today's show with Jeff, you'll hear about... J...

Are we living in an experiment? Instead of securing the general welfare of the people and defending and securing our rights of liberty, it seems the powers that be are more interested in poisoning us while taking away our freedoms. It’s time to ditch the confusion and take our health into our own hands. To help us out, Dr. Cate Shanahan returns to the show to help us look at some everyday ingredie...

These days, it's fashionable to pop antibiotics like Tic Tacs, and it's almost impossible not to feel pressured into pumping sanitizer onto our hands when we enter or leave any store. But did you know that even occasional use of antibiotics, hand sanitizers, and other germ-killers can wreak havoc on your long-term health? Evidence is mounting that this germophobic clean craze - our obsession with...
