Clint Ober is a living legend for those who know and practice the [un]common.  He is the CEO of Earth FX Inc., a research and development company located in Palm Springs, California. He first learned of grounding when installing Cable TV systems in Billings, Montana in the early 1960's, and a decade later, he formed Telecrafter Corporation and built it into the largest provider of cable installation services in the United States. But that's just the pre-show.  Where Clint's work got really interesting is when he realized that our bodies are as conductive as any other electrical systems, so doesn't it make sense that we also ground?  The unquestionable answer he found is: YES!  And he, along with a team of scientists, has shown this to be true after 20 years of work.From stabilizing and reducing cortisol in the body, to helping repair our bodies like Wolverine, Clint's products and work are 100% the real deal because they respectfully, sustainably, and synergistically come straight from the infinite and free source of healing power right below our feet: Mother Earth.For more of the science of Earthing go to: earthinginstitute.net To learn more about Clint, or order Earthing products go to: www.earthing.comTo watch the Earthing Movie check out: The Earthing Movieand Clint's book: Earthing  The most important health discovery ever

It's May: Mental Health Awareness month. As I was preparing to release this episode, another tragic event occurred here in the US that shook me to the core: 19 kids and 2 adults were shot and killed in an elementary school in Texas.  The 2nd of the worst moments in our history where a shooter took the lives of innocent people.This is a crisis of epic proportions: the mental health crisis in the US - not to mention the  legal/congressional crisis we face as our government figureheads refuse to change laws to protect our safety, and the safety of our children.I had to acknowledge this tragedy, and open my heart and soul to the families devastated from this unfathomable act....and so is the gracious transition to the topic at hand in honor of Mental Health Awareness month in this episode: eating disorders, with Dr. Christina Castagnini, Ph.D., CEDS.  Dr. Christina is a licensed psychologist and is recognized as a certified Eating Disorder Specialist by the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP).She left her stable 15 year career at a hospital working as the lead eating disorder specialist for their mental health department so she could try to do more to help those who haveeating disorders and body image issues.You can connect with Dr. Christina in her private practice at:FreedomtoWellness.comor listen to her podcast: Behind The BiteI learned SO much in this conversation, and look forward to you doing the same.And for anyone suffering with any mental health issue, please start here for help:Mental Health Assistance Resources

We bring clarity and insight on what it's like to connect to the quantum field,  how to feel it, and heal along with it as a practitioner, and as a patient.

It's no secret that I am fascinated with how much our food supply has been altered over the last 50 - 75 years.  Industrialized farming and agriculture has changed our connection to earth systems, infused chemicals and GMO's into our seeds and products, and been a nightmare for animal welfare, but where do we start?  What can we do about it?spoiler alert: I geeked out on this episode!As a foodie, and a Founder building a FoodTech / HealthTech solution to start tackling these issues, I had an amazing conversation with Karl Gerstenberger - former celebrity chef who had earned his way through the ranks at some of the most prestigious restaurants in the San Francisco bay area, including the Gold Standard of farm-to-table gourmet cuisine: Chez Panisse.  WOW!  We talk about what it was like to work with Alice Waters, why seasonal eating and co-op grocery store shopping is so important, and what we really think about petri dish meats.

The ancient practice of Ayurveda is a powerful system of medicine - but what exactly is it?Kris Quinones of Rasa-yana has dedicated her life to learning this unique art and science of natural medicine from India after her life took a sharp turn when she sustained a sports injury, and the sports medicine pre-med lifestyle she was applying just simply wasn't healing her chronic pain.  A yoga retreat that had a massage therapist using ancient Ayurvedic remedies was the game-changer that helped her heal her body for good, and she has been doing the same for others for over 20 years, now.We talk about the principles and practice of Ayurveda, and how to  balance the 4 pillars of life by applying the earth elements, herbs, foods, body work and mindful practices that are the basis of Ayurvedic practice, and what makes it so incredibly powerful.

After a brief hiatus that came with a TON of amazing changes, I'm BACK - and I'm turning 50!  August 19th is the big 5-Oh, and I have been inspired to create something amazing ...and I need your help!

Dr. Shiva Lalezar is a doctor who uses every possible tool in her extensive arsenal of knowledge and experience.  She is one of the first doctors in the USA to learn about and integrate functional medicine into her practice, and even more importantly, treatment protocols utilizing I.V. vitamin therapy and chelation therapy.In this episode, we take a closer look at I.V. therapies, how they work, why they are so effective for helping difficult symptoms to finally go away, and why it is so VERY important to go to a trained physician to avoid dangerous complications during treatment.To connect with Dr. Shiva and her work visit: HEALTH AND VITALITY CENTER

Many practitioners (myself included) spend decades learning and mastering their craft of human physical, metabolic, and emotional science.  I know that running a healthcare business often times is far more complicated than the physical patient care, and as doctors, we generally do not have the training, awareness, or advocacy for keeping our private practice running smoothly - and not because we don't want to, but often times out of sheer lack of time to learn how.Today's episode has a different expert who has dedicated her life to educating and legally protecting the doctors out there doing their work: attorney Barbara Zabawa.I personally have seen Barbara in action, and she is a force to be reckoned with!  I am grateful for her extensive knowledge and expertise, and had to give more practitioners out there access to her very particular niche of [un]common law.Reach out to her at:  www.wellnesslaw.comBarbara is the founder and President of the Center for Health and Wellness Law, LLC, a law firm dedicated to improving legal access and compliance for the health and wellness industries.  She is also lead author of the book Rule the Rules on Workplace Wellness Programs, published by the American Bar Association. She is a frequent writer and speaker on health and wellness law topics, having presented for national organizations such as WELCOA, National Wellness Conference, HPLive, Healthstat University and HERO.Barbara J.

Connect and Email me with feedback, questions, and anything else [un]common at:  [un]commonmedicine.comNow that I have officially plunged into the deep end of podcasting, I am feeling a better flow, a better understanding of the tech, and a heightened awareness of the direction I want my show to go.So I decided to change things up a bit!The concept and content are the same: science, celebrity and [un]common solutions - but how the episodes are released is going to be in episode format, rather than in seasons.  I am not taking a break between episodes, really, making the season unnecessary.  SO, until I decide to make specialty topics for 11 episodes, we will be moving forward together in an episode format starting with this one: EP 27.  I have published 26 episodes before this one, that were divided into Seasons and Outtakes.  You won't really notice any differences when tuning in to listen, other than how to look up past episodes that are in season 1 or 2, but other than that - let's continue to keep learning together, and of course being just a little bit more: [un]common.

It's conversations like this that remind me to step back and say thank you.  I have had some amazing experiences as a doctor in the high profile market, and the friendship I am honored to have to this day with this Rock 'n Roll legend came from one of those.Howard Scott.He wrote some of the most iconic songs in American cultural history including Spill The Wine, Slipping Into Darkness, Why Can't We Be Friends, and of course, (who doesn't know) Low Rider.  He plays lead guitar and still tours (when able due to COVID) with his band Low Rider Band, once known as WAR.  We talk about everything from what it was like writing the songs we all know and sing in the shower, to social and racial injustice of the 60's and how it parallels what we are experiencing today in 2021, to getting vaccinated, and how we first met and worked together.Howard is anything BUT uncommon, which is exactly why I had to have him come and tell some of his True Stories.

It's Women's History Month, and what better way to honor women than to discuss one of the most sacred and miraculous acts only a woman can do: give birth.Nature provided us women with everything we need to bring life into this world - our bodies are truly amazing! Somehow along the way, giving birth became a medical event, and the ancient practice of midwifery came under scrutiny and attacked for being unsafe and unable to handle the complications that may occur during the birthing process.Well, that simply just isn't true.Blyss Young, a board certified licensed midwife (LM) and certified professional midwife (CPM), opened the only free standing birth center in Los Angeles and transformed the way birth is managed and perceived in this country. She is an incredible woman and mother who has been helping to bring babies into this world for over 20 years. And she also taught me the correct way to pronounce her field of study, which I completely messed up in the beginning of this episode (uuugh!) it's mid-WIF-rey, just FYI.I learned so much in our conversation today! From statistics about how high the death rate is for women and their babies here in the United States, to the incredibly emotional story of tragedy that Blyss has had to endure and live through with the sudden loss of her teenage daughter to a senseless random act of gun violence.Midwives, part of our history and practice of wise women is alive and well - and definitely needs more credit and attention as a safe and effective option for pregnant women preparing to bring their babies into this world.Learn more about Midwifery and Blyss's practice and services at BIRTHINGBLYSS.COMAnd on socialIG - @birthingblyssmidwiferyFB - facebook.com/birthingblyssand listen to her on her podcast with Dr. Stu at DRSTUPODCAST.COM

The Big C.Cancer.If you haven't had it yourself, you probably know someone very close to you who has. It is one of the top killers in American medicine, and is still very elusive to most doctors and scientists as to how to REALLY get rid of it for good.While our current system of chemotherapy and radiation are the norm, they are not the only effective means to attack cancer from every angle: physical, metabolic and emotional. In this episode, we hear the TRUE STORY of Marie Campanile, a woman who chose to listen to her body, her gut, and take action using an entire bag full of weapons, rather than just a couple offered to her in the current protocols of treatment options in the American heath care system.For more, follow Marie and her work here: MEDIA MANTRASand,For more information on additional devices, food and supplements, and scientifically valid solutions to help attack cancer, contact me, Dr. Grace, at my office: WWW.SAINRX.COM

On the day I finished recording this episode, I have been sitting in silent reverence and awe ...it's January 20, 2021, and I watched the first female Vice President EVER in American history say her oath at inauguration. I literally have had a grin on my face all day, and had goosebumps and tears of joy seeing it happen. It's in this same energy of inspiration that I'd like to introduce Adam Schaeuble of the Million Pound Mission podcast. He started a podcast to help people be inspired to make positive change in their lives, organize themselves, and prioritize their habits - just like he did when he lost 100lbs.There is a ton of immediate use take-away info in this episode, including what it's like to be a man in the deepest darkest place in your life, and what it takes to pull through. Adam did it - and is still on a mission with his family of podcasts now, to bring resources and laughter to anyone in his universe... the man-iverse of Adam.Listen to more from Adam on his podcasts, and find him online with all his social links at:Lowcarbhustlepodcast.commillionpoundmission.compodcastingbusiness.school

You never know what'll happen in the studio. Choking, clinking, and laughing our way through EP10.

In this first of many to be signature [un]common True Stories episodes, that highlights the extraordinary stories of people who have had [un]common impact, and life-altering experiences in our world, I introduce JJ Lasley. JJ is a Stanford Grad, and NFL player who came from a racially charged, and aggressive background on the violent streets of Los Angeles. We talk about how he navigated that early experience, and became the man he is today because of his sports, his coach mentors, and the support of his Mom.

We take our sports seriously here in Wisconsin. JJ learned that real quick.And then he became legend in the eyes of the kids he changed forever with a simple bike ride.

The topic of men's mental and spiritual health - in particular men being vulnerable and facing their lives as they're aging, is a topic that isn't really talked about much. This episode is for all the strong, stoic, often (feeling) isolated men out there. Aron is one of my oldest, dearest friends since back in the day in San Francisco. Now, a producer, writer, and director in Hollywood for television shows such as Undercover Boss, Save our Shelter, Storm Chasers, Tattoo Wars and Biker Build Off, we talk about his very unique career in television, and the even more [un]common journey he has created that changed his life forever.He has some AMAZING stories to share from the death of his father to his recent jaunt to India where he studied at an ashram in the Himalayans for over a month. He has since moved from LA to Nashville with a new frame of mind and a movement he’s calling: Mid-Life Awakening.

This episode was recorded at a critical time in American culture and society. It's the day after country-wide protests erupted into violence throughout much of the US, and I have an aching duty to acknowledge the injustice, and honor the lives and names of the men recently killed, along with the memories, and current lives of my friends, colleagues, fellow citizens, and brothers and sisters of color who have endured centuries of this. Enough is enough.George Floyd protest aftermath, Ahmed Arbery killing, coronovirus quarantine ending: Anxiety and stress has reached an all-time high as we come through these civil and social injustices, and navigate through the COVID-19 quarantine period, as well. Rather than lean on prescription drugs or escapism behavior, I talk with Ben Berlowski on the FDA approved and SUPER effective alpha-stim device, and it's use for physically reducing the effects of anxiety on your body and brain. Contact Ben directly at: BBerlowski@epii.comor visit more online: https://www.alpha-stim.com/

When anxiety creeps in, go all out for finding friends who make you laugh.
