I was blown away by today's guest in his ability to educate on complex mechanisms of actions, as well as his innovation and humility. We touched on so many topics that I had to split this episode in two parts! It was truly reassuring and empowering to learn about healing with natural, science-backed tools to reduce inflammation, the hidden root cause of aging, chronic disease, and cancer. In these two episodes, you will learn how inflammation impacts health at a cellular level and how you can take proactive steps to restore vitality, strengthen immunity, and age with resilience. Samuel Shepherd is an award winning physicist, inventor, and engineer with 42 patents and over 50 years of breakthroughs across biochemical, environmental, and medical engineering. His career has taken him from developing technologies for NASA and the Beijing Olympics to pioneering solutions in alternative energy and environmental remediation. But it was a deeply personal health challenge that led him to his most life-changing discovery. In 2003, Samuel was diagnosed with a rare, untreatable bone marrow cancer. Conventional medicine offered no viable path forward, so he turned to his lifelong expertise in science and innovation. After years of research, he developed ValAsta, the only patented glycosidic form of astaxanthin designed specifically to target inflammation, the root cause of most chronic disease. His unique delivery system makes astaxanthin far more bioavailable than typical supplements, producing remarkable results for energy, mobility, sleep, and overall vitality in both people and pets. Today, Samuel is on a mission to educate others about how inflammation accelerates disease and diminishes quality of life, and how targeted natural solutions can restore health. Beyond his formidable credentials, his personal story of overcoming terminal illness fuels his passion for helping others age with strength, energy, and resilience.

What happens when two people decide to build the kind of company they always wished existed? In this episode, Sam sits down with Brian Kaminski, co-founder and CFO of L’BRI PURE n’ NATURAL, to unpack how he and his wife Linda turned decades of direct selling experience into a thriving business built on transparency, family values, and heart. Brian shares how a factory accident led to their discovery of aloe’s healing power, the challenges they faced starting L’BRI from their basement, and why people—not profits—have always been their focus. This conversation is packed with business wisdom, leadership lessons, and inspiring reminders about purpose, perseverance, and gratitude.

Born just two days apart from Linda in the same hospital, Brian and Linda were lifelong companions, eventually marrying in their early twenties. Before founding L’BRI, Brian worked in a foundry while supporting Linda’s early success in direct sales and learning the business behind the scenes. A pivotal moment in their journey came when Brian suffered serious burns from a molten metal accident. Conventional medical treatments were slow to heal his skin. Linda applied pure aloe vera gel topically, and his recovery improved markedly. That experience inspired the Kaminski’s to center their new company around aloe’s regenerative and soothing properties. Under Brian’s leadership on the financial and operations side, L’BRI has remained a privately held, debt-free business emphasizing transparency, consultant support, and product purity. The company uses a formulation approach called “Aloe-First,” where aloe vera is the predominant active base instead of water — a differentiator the Kaminski’s continue to champion. Over nearly three decades, Brian has helped steer L’BRI’s growth, maintain fiscal discipline, and ensure the business remains focused on empowering consultants and delivering trusted skincare.

Are you confident in replacing a single missing central incisor? When is a denture the right option — and when should you consider a bridge or implant instead? Why is the single central incisor one of the hardest teeth to replace to a patient's satisfaction? In this Back to Basics episode, Jaz and Protrusive Student Emma Hutchison explore the unique challenges of replacing a single central incisor. They break down when each option — denture, resin-bonded bridge, conventional bridge, or implant — is appropriate, and the biological and aesthetic factors that influence that decision. They also share key communication strategies to help you manage expectations, guide patients through realistic treatment choices, and avoid disappointment when dealing with this most visible and demanding tooth. https://youtu.be/czjPQxKpwPw Watch PS018 on YouTube Key Takeaways: Replacing a single central incisor isn't just about technical skill — it's about communication and case selection. Success comes from helping patients understand that a restoration replaces a tooth's function and appearance, not nature itself. Clear conversations about expectations, limitations, and maintenance are what turn a difficult aesthetic case into a satisfying long-term result. Highlights of this episode: 00:00 Teaser 00:28 Intro 01:56 From Dental Nurse to Final-Year Student 07:38 Challenges and Considerations in Replacing Central Incisors 12:51 Patient Communication and Treatment Planning 18:33 Discussing Treatment Options and Enamel Considerations 21:16 Communicating Options and Guiding Patient Decisions 25:51 Choosing Between Fixed and Removable Options 27:10 Midroll 30:31 Choosing Between Fixed and Removable Options 31:05 Handling Old Crowns and Patient Communication 34:17 Conventional vs. Resin-Bonded Bridges 37:57 Occlusal Load, Function, and Implant Considerations 43:40 Digital Workflow in Dentistry 45:54 Managing Aesthetic Expectations 48:34 Final Thoughts and Recommendations 52:59 Outro

Sometimes we go a long ways for something that is right in front of us. - Preparation is the key for Ministry - Be willing to do the Conventional, but ready to do the Unconventional - Follow God whether he take you down the conventional or the unconventional route
QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“The church…is not meant to call men and women out of the world into a safe religious enclave but to call them out in order to send them back as agents of God's kingship.”~Lesslie Newbigin (1909-1998), British theologian and missionary “The people who heard Jesus' disciples proclaiming the Good News were as impressed by what they saw as by what they heard. They saw lives that had been transformed…. A new quality, Christian love, was born. Conventional love is evoked by lovable qualities in the beloved, but the love people encountered from Christ embraced sinners and outcasts, Samaritans and enemies. It gave…because giving was its nature.”~Huston Smith (1919-2016), religious scholar and chair of the Philosophy Department at MIT “Why do we not observe how the charity of Christians to strangers…has done the most to advance their cause? For it is disgraceful…the impious Galileans support our poor in addition to their own, while everyone is able to see that our coreligionists lack aid from us!”~The Pagan Roman Emperor Julian (332-363), Letter to Arsacius, 360 AD “Why among all of the varieties of Judaism in the first century did only two survive….? One, the religion of the Rabbis – the other, the religion of Christianity. [This] rather improbable message that the Son of God has come to earth and been crucified, in human form, and risen from the dead ... appealed to a lot of perfectly ordinary people…in such a way that they were willing…to become initiated into a group which brought them only hostility, estrangement from their families and neighbors, and the possibility of persecution to the point of death.”~Wayne A. Meeks (1932-2023), Religious Studies Professor at Yale University “I believe that it was the religion's particular doctrines that permitted Christianity to be among the most sweeping and successful revitalization movements in history. And it was the way these doctrines took on actual flesh, the way they directed organizational actions and individual behavior, that led to the rise of Christianity.”~Sociologist Rodney Stark (1934-2022) in The Rise of Christianity “Assist…one another in good faith, and by deed and with a hearty will; nor let anyone remove his hand from the help of a brother, since ‘by this' saith the Lord, ‘shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.'”~Zephyrinus, bishop of Rome from A.D. 199 to 217 on John 13:35 “The person characterized by humility, gentleness, mercy and righteousness does not build a fence around good deeds. Rather, that one ensures that these good fountains overflow for the benefit of others. One who is pure in heart and a peacemaker, even when persecuted for the sake of truth, orders his way of life for the common good.”~John Chrysostom (347-407) revered early church leader in homily on Matthew 5SERMON PASSAGE selected passages (ESV)Genesis 12 1 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Psalm 671 May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, Selah2 that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Isaiah 22 It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it,3 and many peoples shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Matthew 5 – Jesus's Teaching to His Disciples 10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.13 You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. 14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 1 1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Matthew 28 – Jesus's Commission to the Church 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” John 13 – Jesus's Commandment to the Church 34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 17 – Jesus's Prayer for the Church 20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.”
Do the many clinical trials into high-dose vitamin C prove it can actually treat the common cold and cancer, rather than just boost the immune system? Why is there ongoing scepticism? Why are multifactorial chronic diseases so hard to study in clinical trials? What is the right dosage to get the best results from vitamin C?In this episode we have the often misunderstood topic of Vitamin C as an antioxidant to get clear on, particular the high-dose approach and particularly delivered intravenously. Despite a very clear consensus that Vitamin C is a great booster to immune function, research that shows that it helps fight the common cold or flu have been dismissed by doctors and medical researchers; as well as claims that higher doses can increase its efficacy. Other claims that Vitamin C can help fight cardio-vascular disease and even cancer have been with even greater scepticism. So what exactly can vitamin C do to assist our immune function to fight disease, and why is there so much confusion about the answer given the high quantity of clinical trials data?Fortunately today's guest has exactly the right skill set and research knowledge to separate the science from the here-say, medical doctor and orthomolecular medicine researcher, Dr. Richard Z Cheng. Dr. Cheng has a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology; he's served as a doctor in the US military; he has consulted for the National Cancer Institute, and presented at the National Institute of Health (NIH); he has conducted clinical trials; He is the editor in Chief of the Orthmolecular Medicine New Service; He is also a fellow of the American Academy of Anti- Aging medicine; and has run anti-aging and regenerative medicine clinics in both China and the US for over 20 years.What we discuss:00:00 Intro05:15 Most animals produce Vitamin C in the body, but not primates.06:00 Oxidation & Redox: Giving or receiving an electron.11:00 After reducing oxidation the body recycles it back into vitamin C.14:00 Teamwork: sharing electrons between nutrients and vitamins.18:20 Conventional consensus: good for prevention but not treatment.21:00 Over 80K papers on Vit C on Pub Med!21:30 Linus Pauling Intravenous Vitamin C for cancer and heart disease.27:00 Shortening of common cold and lowering of symptoms - Harri Hemila.29:00 Low dose studies dilute the data on the efficacy of the high dose studies.31:00 Intravenous treatment allows much higher doses safely.33:00 Differences in absorption between IV and oral application.35:20 Pro-oxidant effect only possible at IV high dose.36:30 IV clinical trials.39:20 Cytokine storm cascades in acute respiratory distress.44:00 High Dose IV Vitamin C saved lives in China during Covid 19.50:00 Attacks following Richard's NIH presentation on Vitamin C during covid.57:00 Cardio vascular disease - Vit.

Brand New episode! What if the missing link in your recovery isn't another supplement or stretch, but energy at the cellular level? We sit down with Dr. Zulia Frost—medical doctor, researcher, and co-founder of Recharge Health—to unpack how photobiomodulation, neuromodulation, and sound can help your body heal faster, perform better, and sleep deeper without side effects.Zulia's story is a powerful one: a devastating car accident, spinal fractures, and paralysis in her right leg. Conventional care saved her life, but it was targeted red and infrared light, gentle nerve stimulation, and a disciplined movement routine that rebuilt it. She explains in plain language how red and near-infrared wavelengths interact with mitochondria to increase ATP, release nitric oxide, and open blood flow—key steps that reduce pain, accelerate collagen repair, and restore function in joints and muscles. We compare sunlight to devices, discuss why consistent dosing matters, and reveal why wearable, skin-contact designs can deliver a reliable, high-intensity dose where you need it most.Get 10% off on FlexBeam at www.ChampionsMojo.com/FlexBeam and enter championsmojo as a coupon code at check out. Pain lives in the nervous system as much as in tissue, so we dive into neuromodulation for endorphin-driven relief and layer in sound therapy to shift brain waves toward calm. Zulia shares practical routines for athletes and everyday movers: short sessions for acute injuries, broader mapping for chronic issues, and pre-activation before training to boost output. She also offers simple, science-backed habits—consistent bedtimes, a few minutes of morning red light over the chest or abdomen, stretching before the day's load, and brief walks—that support circadian rhythm, gut health, and resilience over time. We close with clear guidance on facial use, eye safety, and how to personalize settings without guesswork.Whether you're rehabbing a shoulder, chasing a PR in the pool, or trying to sleep through the night, this conversation gives you a practical blueprint to turn light, sound, and routine into results.

In this episode of To The Root, Robyn Spangler explores the two most common approaches to managing chronic skin conditions: conventional care and functional medicine. While conventional care often relies on long-term prescriptions and symptom management, functional medicine can leave patients overwhelmed with extensive testing, supplement regimens, and restrictive diets.Robyn shares her personal experience navigating both ends of the spectrum and explains why the Clear Skin Lab offers a third path—one that blends clinical expertise, evidence-based strategies, and individualized care. From addressing the emotional side of healing to building sustainable, results-driven plans, this conversation highlights what it truly means to pursue root-cause solutions.Tune in now to learn how to break free from the extremes of conventional and functional care!Highlights:The strengths and limitations of conventional dermatology in addressing chronic skin issuesHow functional medicine shifted from individualized care to protocol-driven approachesThe Clear Skin Lab's client-centered values: results and experienceHow strategic lab testing, food freedom, and lean supplementation create better outcomesSupporting clients through the “messy middle” of healingIntegrating topical skin barrier support with internal health strategiesThe importance of individualized, adaptable care plansConnect with Robyn:Instagram: @nutritionbyrobyn Website: https://www.theclearskinlab.com
We're back with Dr. Peter Salerno this week talking about his new book "Cruelty By Nature: The Science of Intentional Abuse." If you've been at the receiving end of abuse and were confused why unconditional love wasn't working, this episode is for you. Do some people enjoy being cruel? Is unkindess its own reward? Salerno discusses the research around personality disorders and sadism and takes on therapists who endangers victims when they counsel victims to meet harmful acts with forgiveness and greater understanding. Conventional therapy argues that antisocial behavior comes from a person acting out trauma and masking shame. This view, Salerno argues, ignores behavioral science. Some people behave unethically because their brutish methods work for them. Worse, some disordered people actually derive pleasure from hurting others.

Your body does not just run on food or supplements. It runs on energy and information. This episode reveals how to harness that energy for faster recovery, stronger mitochondria, and better emotional resilience. You will learn how energy fields, frequency, and information medicine are reshaping the science of human performance, longevity, and anti-aging. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Harry Massey, a British entrepreneur, filmmaker, and visionary in the field of bioenergetics. In his 20s, Harry's health collapsed after a series of physical injuries, viral infections, and emotional trauma left him bedridden for seven years with chronic fatigue syndrome. Conventional medicine could not provide answers, so Harry began studying energy and information as the missing foundations of human health. His discovery of the pioneering research of Australian scientist Peter Fraser led to a breakthrough. Using Fraser's early frequency-imprinted remedies, Harry experienced a dramatic recovery and went on to co-found NES Health, now Energy4Life, to bring this new field of bioenergetics to the world. Backed by published studies at UC San Diego showing a 22 percent increase in mitochondrial efficiency and the activation of more than 1,000 genes for cell resilience, Harry's work unites ancient healing wisdom with modern physics, light therapy, and quantum biology. Together, Dave and Harry explore how bioenergetics, light frequencies, and digital information enhance neuroplasticity, metabolism, and sleep optimization more effectively than supplements or nootropics alone. You will discover how trauma drains energy, how to restore it through the body's natural field communication systems, and how wearable tech and AI are transforming functional medicine. You'll Learn: • How bioenergetic wearables increase mitochondrial energy by 22 percent • Why emotional trauma and energy leaks accelerate aging • How structured water and light frequencies store biological information • The connection between quantum biology, neuroplasticity, and healing • How energy fields regulate longevity, metabolism, and brain optimization • Why AI-powered diagnostics and frequency medicine are the next frontier in biohacking Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind. Each episode delivers cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, biohacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. New episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday (BONUS). Dave asks the questions no one else will and gives you real tools to become stronger, smarter, and more resilient.

Episode 4892: Bringing Home Our Troops From The Pacific Lost In WW2; Denying Conventional Order
In this powerful Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses the recent wave of anti-chiropractic content flooding social media from conventional medical doctors. Rather than responding with anger, Dr. Tony offers a thoughtful, science-based perspective on why natural, neurologically-focused healthcare is exploding in popularity—and why some in the medical community feel threatened by it.Dr. Tony emphasizes that this isn't about "us versus them," but about giving families effective options. He shares his deep respect for emergency medicine (which saved his son Oliver's life) while making a compelling case for why drug-free, neurological approaches should be the first line of defense for chronic conditions. Throughout the episode, he dismantles common criticisms with updated neuroscience, real-world outcomes, and the principle that being effective matters more than being right.----Links & Resources:Listen to Oliver's Miracles Story Here.----Key Topics & Timestamps[00:01:00] - The Social Media Backlash: Dr. Tony addresses the recent flood of hateful, reactionary posts from MDs targeting chiropractors and natural health[00:03:00] - Straw Man Arguments Exposed: Breaking down how critics misrepresent what neurologically-focused chiropractors actually do [00:11:00] - Being Right vs. Being Effective: The real issue—are doctors focused on protecting their turf or serving families?[00:19:00] - Outcomes Over Opinions: Why we should compare real health results between conventionally-raised kids and those receiving neurological care[00:24:00] - Oliver's Story: Dr. Tony shares his personal gratitude for emergency medicine that saved his son's life[00:31:00] - The Nervous System Revolution: How modern neuroscience confirms what chiropractic has understood for 125+ years[00:38:00] - Medicine Saves Lives, Chiropractic Restores Lives: Defining the proper roles and sequencing of different healthcare approaches[00:42:00] - Understanding Before Criticizing: Why critics who never studied chiropractic can't accurately critique it[00:46:00] - Advice for Parents: How to handle the negativity and stay focused on what works for your family -- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Calling someone you haven't spoken to in two years isn't weird; it's just being human.Today's guest is Jacob Marquez, also known as J. Henry, a Seattle-based tech entrepreneur and musical artist whose approach to relationships challenges a lot of conventional friendship wisdom.Jacob is the founder of Seattle's Best Brunch, bringing creatives together to collaborate and spotlight each other's work, and he's developing an app that helps people nurture their relationships. What drew me to Jacob wasn't what he was building but how he approaches connection. He'll call someone out of the blue after years of silence, and he thinks that friendships can be reciprocal – even if one person talks about themself the whole time. Our conversation touches on everything including low-maintenance friendships, systems for connection, and the impact of redefining intimacy, and I think it will have us all thinking twice about our assumptions regarding how friendship should work. In this episode you'll hear about:Jacob's work in community connection, including Seattle's Best Brunch and his app, Connect, which provides systems for staying connectedThe different systems each of us uses to track and maintain friendships; plus, why it's important to be open to change and growth in our friendships as time goes onDifferent ways friendships can actually be reciprocal – even if you don't think they are at first glance!The entrances into different communities you could be finding just by being open and communicative about what you're looking forResources & LinksOn Instagram check out Jacob's personal Instagram and his account for Seattle's Best Brunch.Like what you hear?

What if your Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) wasn't just about your ovaries but about your immune system turning against them? Most women with POI are told it's simply early menopause. The conversation stops at hormone replacement or donor eggs. But new research shows that for many women, POI has autoimmune roots. When that's the case, treatment, prognosis, and even pregnancy potential all look very different. In this episode, we explore how the immune system can drive POI, the red flags most doctors miss, and which labs uncover what's really happening inside your body. You'll also hear how a functional fertility approach can calm immune dysfunction and support natural ovarian activity. You'll learn: The latest evidence connecting autoimmunity and Premature Ovarian Insufficiency Red flags that suggest POI may be immune-driven rather than purely ovarian The key labs to request for thyroid, gut, and immune system assessment Why conventional HRT isn't enough and how bioidentical hormones fit in Functional fertility strategies that support hormone balance and ovarian function Sarah Clark is the founder of Fab Fertile Inc. and the host of Get Pregnant Naturally.

Eggs have gotten some bad press, but what's the truth? Are eggs bad for you? What about eggs and cholesterol? In this video, find out about the unique nutrition profile of eggs and the benefits of eating 3-4 eggs daily.0:00 Introduction: How many eggs should I eat a day?0:18 Eggs and cholesterol 0:40 Egg benefits 4:26 Egg nutrition7:37 What type of eggs should I eat?8:30 Pasture-raised eggs 10:35 Healthy eating tips Why eat eggs? Eggs are the most absorbable form of protein, which sets them apart from other sources of protein, such as meat and fish. Protein is an essential building block for muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It's vital for repair, hormone and enzyme composition, and can even be used as a fuel source.When you consume animal protein, you can only use 10 to 20 percent for fuel. In comparison, 65% of an egg can be used as fuel! Eggs also contain anti-microbial proteins and have iron and biotin-binding properties.Eggs have all the amino acids, including leucine, which is the key amino acid in muscle building. Eggs are the second-highest source of choline, which prevents a fatty liver and helps make up bile. Choline is also essential for a process called methylation.Eggs contain lutein and zeaxanthin, powerful antioxidants that support the health and function of the retina and brain. They contain phospholipids, which further support the membranes of the brain and other bodily tissues. Eating eggs can even help lower blood pressure!Eggs contain vitamin K2, which helps transport calcium and keep it out of the soft tissues, directing it instead into the teeth and bones. They contain the active form of vitamin A and also contain vitamin D.Approximately 65% of all eggs consumed are conventional, which come from caged chickens. Cage-free is a better option, but it doesn't guarantee the chickens have outdoor access. Organic pasture-raised eggs are the best option.Organic refers to the feed that's given to the chicken, and “vegetarian-fed” does not necessarily mean the egg is better. Conventional eggs come from chickens that are fed GMO corn and soy, so the eggs have a higher omega-6 content. Try pairing your eggs with these healthy foods for the most nutrient absorption:•Arugula•Onions•Black pepper•Tomatoes•Avocado•Olive oil/butter Don't overcook your eggs! If you can't afford organic, pasture-raised eggs, conventional eggs are still a healthy option.

What if the chronic medical issues that you're struggling with are just being treated at a surface level and the real cause of the illness or autoimmune condition lies much deeper? The unfortunate reality is that traditional healthcare has forced us to accept medications and quick fixes that manage symptoms instead of resolving the root issue. Today's guest is someone who I trust dearly and has helped me significantly improve my own health and cognitive function. Dr. Philip Oubre is my personal functional medicine doctor, a board-certified physician who helps patients uncover and heal the root causes of chronic illness. After training in conventional medicine, he discovered its limits firsthand and shifted his focus and career to functional medicine which has yielded tremendous results in helping people reverse chronic disease naturally through nutrition, detoxification, and lifestyle optimization. In our conversation, Dr. Oubre outlines the six root causes of chronic illness, dispels some common myths of conventional medicine, and provides actionable steps to take full responsibility for your own healing. You'll learn how heavy metals, mold, toxins, and even emotional stress impact your body; why most doctors still get nutrition wrong; and what simple dietary shifts can dramatically improve your health and wellbeing.

Two weeks ago, in one of our most popular podcasts of the year, the investor and author Paul Kedrosky explained why he thinks AI is a bubble. In the last few days, practically everybody seems to agree.I hate this. I don't like feeling like my position is the same position as everybody else's. Conventional wisdoms are often more conventional than wise, and I've started to wonder: Is there a bubble of people calling AI a bubble?Today's guest says yes. Azeem Azhar is an investor and the author of the blog Exponential View. Like Paul, Azeem is a fantastic explainer and storyteller, and I'm satisfied that Plain English has now presented the strongest possible arguments for and against AI being a bubble. If you want to know where I land, you'll just have to listen to the end of the show. If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at PlainEnglish@Spotify.com.
