Attorney Christopher Brandlin shares his harrowing journey from botched intestinal surgery and pharmaceutical dependency to healing through carnivore nutrition. After suffering severe complications from what should have been routine colon surgery, Brandlin rejected conventional medicine's next recommendation to remove his remaining intestines. Instead, he turned to the carnivore diet and found healing at the Paleo Medicina Clinic in Hungary.Now a newly-minted PhD and congressional candidate for Nevada's 3rd district, Brandlin brings a unique perspective as someone who has experienced both the failures of the medical system and the power of metabolic healing. His platform focuses on reducing pharmaceutical influence in politics, mandating nutrition education for medical students, and funding research into ketogenic diets for chronic disease treatment.The conversation spans Brandlin's background as a competitive bodybuilder, his legal career specializing in mold litigation and medical malpractice, and his unconventional preparation for congress through activities like professional bull riding training. Host Dr. Philip Ovadia and co-host Jack Heald explore how grassroots health movements can challenge institutional medicine and create policy change from within the system.This episode offers insights into the intersection of personal health transformation, legal advocacy, and political reform, while highlighting the growing carnivore community's influence on public health discourse.BIG IDEAIf you go to a doctor and your doctor immediately reaches for the prescription pad and tries to prescribe you medication without asking about your diet or your lifestyle, you don't really have a doctor - you have a drug dealer.ContactWebsite: https://www.chrisbrandlin.com/Website: https://brandlinlaw.com/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Long-serving California Democrat Nancy Pelosi, a towering figure in US politics, has announced her retirement from Congress, concluding a career of over three decades. In a video shared on Thursday, Pelosi confirmed she won't be running again, with her current term ending in January 2027. Pelosi holds a historic place as the first woman Speaker of the House and led the House Democrats from 2003 until 2023. She marked the occasion by saying, "We have made history, we have made progress," and urged her city, "San Francisco, know your power." Pelosi was first elected to represent San Francisco in 1987 at the age of 47 and quickly rose to prominence. Independent media has never been more important.

Michelle and Katherine welcome congressional candidate Dr. Melissa Bird for a discussion on intuitive leadership, spirituality and politics, and the graceful revolution!As healers, mystics, practitioners and spiritual teachers, we know that we're here to participate in the transformation and healing of the collective. But how does that translate out of our meditation and ritual practice into effective, right-aligned action? What is the “graceful revolution” and how can we all participate in it? What are the foundations of intuitive leadership, and how does intuitive leadership build community? How are spiritual practice and political activism deeply intertwined? Join us for a powerful discussion, including a few solid mic-drop moments! If you know you're here to be a changemaker, you won't want to miss it.About Dr. Melissa Bird:Dr. Melissa Bird is a fighter, a mother, a small business owner, and a proud descendant of the Shivwits Band of Paiutes and she's running for Congress in Oregon's 4th District to dig up what's broken and build something bold in its place.Melissa's lived experience as a social worker, lay preacher, wife of a veteran, and survivor of a system that was never built for her, or for most of us, fuels her campaign. She's been told to wait her turn, to settle for scraps, to lower her voice. She's done with that. She's seen what happens when the government fails to meet people's basic needs, and she's ready to do something about it.As a nationally recognized speaker, policy strategist, and unapologetic advocate for working people, Melissa brings both fire and fluency to the fight. She's battled for reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ rights, health care access, and the rights of Indigenous communities. Now she's taking that fight to Congress.She lives in Corvallis with her husband, three kids, two dogs, and one three-legged cat. When she's not working, you'll find her sipping Earl Grey with heavy cream and reading novels, because joy is also resistance.Dr. Melissa Bird's Links:Website: https://www.drmelissabird.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-melissa-bird-016640199/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrMelissaBirdSubstack: https://substack.com/@birdgirl1001Congressional Campaign Links: Campaign website: https://www.melissabirdforcongress.com/Donate here: https://donation.c-esystems.com/campaign/melissabirdforcongressCampaign Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melissabirdforcongressCampaign Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissabirdforcongress/

Sam rose to Executive Vice President and General Manager of PeopleSoft, one of the first and largest makers of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software.

Sam is Founder and CEO of The Kingdom Center which provides emergency shelter and transitional living assistance for at-risk women. In 16 years, The Kingdom Centers has provided emergency shelter and transitional living centers for over 3000 women and their children. Sam saw suffering in other marginalized communities so in 2014 he founded Treasured Harvest, whose mission remains to provide food and other much-needed resources for migrant farm workers and their families. And Sam has helped provide immigration assistance to these workers. Sam then saw the need to help parents provide a better education for their children in the K-12 public-school system. He founded Revive Academies in 2023 which provides a high-quality, low-cost alternative to public education to Ventura County families. Sam is the senior pastor of Embrace! Church in Oxnard. He is a featured speaker in the areas of business, travel and faith. Sam wrote ‘More than Animals' in 2022 which addresses how to solve the homeless crisis in California and ‘A Love That Nobody Wants' which chronicles his service to those experiencing homelessness.

Jack Ohman - Tribune Content Agency Donald Trump inherited a booming economy from Barack Obama in 2017. It took him three years and one botched pandemic response to send it spiraling towards recession. He's learned from his first-term mistakes. This time, he inherited an economy the Economist magazine called the envy of the world and has managed to tank it in a matter of just weeks. This time, in between rounds of golf and incessant posting on social media, Donald Trump has managed to take down Wall Street and Main Street by declaring financial war on countries who thought we were allies. The political repercussions have begun with Trump's polling numbers tanking, and a majority of Americans for the first time disapproving of his handling of the economy. The vast majority also oppose most of the Musk-led chainsaw massacre of federal employees.  The end game? Trump and Musk appear to be setting the stage for privatizing things like the Weather Bureau, FAA, K-12 education and the long-sought GOP dream: privatizing Social Security so they and their billionaire buddies can wet their beaks dipping into literally trillions of spending over the coming decades. In Michigan, 20 months before the election polling shows Jocelyn Benson with a sizable lead in the Democratic gubernatorial race, and Pete Buttigieg the strongest candidate for U.S. Senate - but he's announced he's not running for either the Senate or Governor. We do, however, have another entrant into the Democratic race for Governor: Lt. Governor Garland Gilchrist. The challenge for Gilchrist: can the tallest candidate (6'9") in the mix overcome the longstanding Michigan history that has doomed the gubernatorial aspirations of Lt. Governors for the last 30 years? The list of would-be Lt. Governors seeking the top job is long, distinguished ... and uniformly unsuccessful: Jim Brickley (1982) Dick Posthumus (2002) John Cherry (2010) Brian Calley (2018) The last Lt. Governor to advance via election was John Swainson in 1960. Lt. Governor William Milliken inherited the job when George Romney resigned in 1969 to join the Nixon cabinet, and went on to serve 14 years as perhaps the best Governor in Michigan's modern history. 20 months before the election, polling shows Jocelyn Benson with a sizable lead in the Democratic gubernatorial race, and Pete Buttigieg the strongest candidate for U.S. Senate. This week's guest is an early entrant into the race to flip. Michigan's 10th district. Onetime military helicopter pilot John James has run for office, losing twice for U.S. Senate and winning two terms in Congress. In each case, the elections were extremely close. But as every politician knows, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Our guest this week can offer first-hand testimony on the latter - hand grenades. He's an expert in the subject. Joining the podcast is political newcomer Alex Hawkins. He served in the Middle East as a U.S. Army "Explosive Ordnance Disposal" Officer. He continues as an Active Duty Veteran and Oakland County Reserve Sheriff's Deputy. His resume includes working on the staffs of both then-Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin and Senator Gary Peters. Hawkins, 30, is a 2021 graduate of Central Michigan University. He and his wife Amanda live in Rochester Hills.

On this week's episode, host Tim Boyum reconnects with Shelane Etchison. She was North Carolina's first ever Congressional unaffiliated candidate to make it on the ballot. Independents aren't a party, they aren't a third party, they're exactly as they sound — independent. Although she lost the election, she significantly outperformed all other non-major party candidates, exceeding expectations.  “The burden for unaffiliated candidates to get on the ballot, I believe, is too high right now. The bar is too high right now,” Etchison told Boyum. “The amount of money I had to allocate to that, the time and effort, it just already puts you at an impasse.” So, how does she feel now after running? Can an unaffiliated candidate ever win, and what's next for her? Listen to find out her experience.

Tonight we welcome again Cameron Hamilton back on the show. Cameron is a former Navy Seal and current Congressional Candidate for Virginia District 7. There are no shortage of topics to talk about, plus we want to get an update on his campaign.
