In this episode, Drs. May and Tim welcome two unconventional voices shaking up medicine—Dr. Jeremy Ayres, known internationally as “Dr. Jeremy,” and producer-turned-health advocate John Gusty. Jeremy shares his remarkable path from osteopath to holistic healer, revealing the mentors and moments that shaped his philosophy of true medicine—healing that empowers the body rather than fights it.

Together, they expose the overlap between media influence and medical control, explaining how societal conditioning keeps people sick and dependent. Their message is simple yet radical: healing begins when we reclaim curiosity, question dogma, and return to the natural intelligence of the human body.
