Episode 1: Beyond The Deception
Exposing Big Ag, Big Food, and Big Pharma — and Reclaiming Our Path to Wellness
We know more about food and health than any population in history. And yet, we’re sicker than ever. Do you know the real reasons why? In this episode, we expose the tactics employed by the processed food industry to keep us confused (and hooked on their products!), reveal the dairy industry’s hidden agenda, uncover the hazardous effects of pesticides on farmworkers and consumers, and show how the pharmaceutical industry is making billions of dollars selling medications to an increasingly sick population. And we’ll look behind the curtain and bring you hope — showing how much better things can be and that the power truly is in your hands to reclaim your health and to be part of the solution!

Episode 5: Heartbeat of Life
How Diet and Lifestyle Can End the World’s #1 Killer
Heart disease takes more human lives than any other cause of death, and while tens of millions rely on medications to keep their symptoms at bay, these drugs often come with serious side effects. The good news is that all-natural food and lifestyle habits have been proven to slash the risk of heart disease dramatically. And the number one place to start is with the food on your plate. This episode offers evidence-based dietary recommendations for preventing and reversing cardiovascular disease, including the role of antioxidants, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and other nutrients in promoting cardiovascular health.

What’s the real reason we see such a direct connection between obesity and type 2 diabetes? Why is it so hard to lose weight (and so easy to gain it)? In this episode, we explore the real causes of obesity and type 2 diabetes and the real reasons that traditional diets almost always fail. We’ll dive into the newest drugs being used for weight loss and diabetes management and whether or not they’re safe or worth the cost. You’ll learn what the most recent studies say about what actually works for effective and sustained weight control so you can enjoy more balanced blood sugar and your unique “right-sized body.”

Exploring Comprehensive Studies, Hot Controversies, and the Critical Nutrients You Need
Should you go keto, raw, Paleo, vegan, or follow a blood-type diet? In a world where conflicting nutrition advice runs rampant, how do you know what’s fact and what’s fiction? In this episode, we go beyond fads and bestselling books to discover what the science says about the most controversial topics in food and health. We’ll reveal the truth behind hot-button topics like soy, lectins, and phytates. You’ll learn how to end the confusion behind fatty acids and get the truth about rancidity in fish oil. We’ll uncover the truth about protein as we clarify how much you really need, whether there is such a thing as too much, and whether plant protein or animal protein is best. Plus, you’ll get a comprehensive rundown of the specific vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals you need to stay healthy, now and in the future.
Episode 8: The Future of Life on Earth
How to Be Part of the Solution with the Food on Your Plate
Humanity is on a collision course with systemic environmental collapse. If we keep going on our current trajectory, we will run out of water, topsoil, and food for the generations to come. The good news is that it’s not too late to make the changes we so urgently need. So, how can you take a stand and play a role in helping to turn the tide? In this riveting episode, we explore the consequences of our current food production systems — and powerful ways that you can make a massive impact for good. You’ll be inspired by how you can contribute to sustainability, biodiversity, and soil health — and the power of the movements for natural, organic, fair trade, local, plant-based food to heal our lives and our world. It’s time for some grounded hope and real solutions that can make a world of difference.
