There's a trite piece of advice that every man has heard a thousand times, and is bored of hearing: Choose a woman for her character, NOT her beauty.And I won't repeat that advice; I contend that the savvy seducer can get both virtue and beauty in one package. That's what I did, and I wrote a 500-page book about how to make that magic happen. Recently, I finished a book that makes an almost comically perfect companion to mine: "Venus Fly Trap" — the memoir of a man who seduced the enduring affections of a succubus from the ninth circle of hell. I'm speaking metaphorically. Just barely.I'm joined by Stephen Paul Edwards, who has a PhD in Spiritual Counseling and 20+ years working alongside leaders like Anthony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, and Dean Graziosi.

What draws someone back to a relationship they know is hurting them — and what does it take to finally walk away?In this episode, Todd sits down with author and spiritual counselor Stephen Paul Edwards, whose memoir The Venus Fly Trap chronicles one of the most intense, chaotic, and revealing relationships of his life. Named by the woman at the center of it all, the title says everything — and nothing you're quite prepared for.Stephen shares openly about falling hard for a woman he recognized early on as dangerous, and staying anyway. What follows is a candid, often funny conversation about gaslighting, borderline personality disorder (BPD), childhood trauma, and the complicated reality that toxic relationships are rarely all bad.Todd and Stephen dig into why smart, self-aware people end up in relationships that slowly erode their sense of reality, what BPD actually looks like to live alongside, and why the partner on the receiving end often blames themselves.They also explore the current sexual revolution — shifting attitudes around monogamy, sexuality, and identity — and whether polyamory or monogamy can both be done well or badly depending on the people involved.At the heart of it all is the work Todd talks about with clients regularly: facing the parts of ourselves we've spent a lifetime hiding. Stephen's memoir forced him to stop running and look inward — the same work that often marks the difference between a relationship that survives and one that doesn't.If you've ever stayed past the point you should have, this one will feel familiar.Access a free copy of Stephen's bonus book, The Venus Flytrap: Madness and Mayhem here: https://bit.ly/3MvAtAaTo learn more about Stephen's book or access free resources, visit VFT23.com.

In the midst of a record year for the flu, Dr. Prather explains why you should first think of seeing a Structure-Function Health Care doctor when you get sick.  In this episode, we talk about:—Why Dr. Prather says that Structure-Function Care offers "so many more options" for someone who is sick compared to Disease Care.—How Disease Care can make the symptoms go away, but can actually make someone sicker.  And how this is what happens with Antibiotics, which suppress symptoms, but will weaken your immune system for 3 months.—The reason why someone who never gets sick can sometimes be a negative thing because it means their immune system is not responding to viruses.  And why isolation can be harmful for a person's immune system.—The importance of Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and Zinc when someone is sick.  And the natural product Dr. Prather uses for his patients that works better than Ivermectin and Hydroxychloriquine.—The Diathermy treatment that makes sick patients feel better immediately by improving blood and lymphatic flow.  And how Diathermy helps crying little ones suffering from ear infections in just a few minutes.—Why Dr. Prather considers Venus Fly Trap and Iridodial two of his "favorite" Herbals for treating the "really tough" sick conditions, including COVID patients who were "in dire straits".  And the effectiveness of Homeopathy and Glandulars for helping patients to fight viruses.—How Chiropractic and Acupuncture treatments make patients feel better and can stop a Fever before they even leave the office.  And the benefits of Infrared Sauna and the "Immune Booster" IV Therapy at Holistic Integration. —How Measles is "very easy to treat" with Vitamin A" and is "basically an innocuous childhood infection" that "actually helps to boost the immune system".—Why Dr. Prather says that "all flus are Bird Flus" and his thoughts on the potential dangers of the latest Bird Flu to humans.—The dangers of mRNA vaccines.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

When you have a business that sells a product, you have two choices. You can try and sell it to everyone earth, like Coca Cola, or you can concentrate on a more targeted market. The Coca Cola model is called Mass Marketing. The targeted approach is called Niche Marketing. Sometimes businesses say they have a niche market as a euphemism for the fact that very few people are buying their product. But there are businesses whose products are legitimately very niche. Like, for example, human breast milk. Human breastmilk is intended to be consumed orally by human offspring. But it also has other applications. For example, it can be an ingredient in medicinal soap. When Shay Franklin had a baby, she discovered she was an over-producer of breast milk. When her 4 month of old daughter, Nova, was diagnosed with psoriasis and eczema, Shay used her surplus supply to make breastmilk soap. The soap worked miracles for baby Nova's skin condition, and Shay started selling her bars of soap to other people in need, on Tik Tok and at local farmer's markets. But even an over-producer only has so much breast milk. So, Shay came up with other recipes. Today her company, Shay's Organics, has a line of skincare products including soaps, scrubs, cleansers, body butter, and more. It seems popular these days for people who care about their diet to eat what is called a “plant-based diet.” If there's a growing number of people who predominantly eat plants, in a sort of horticultural revenge, there's also a growing interest in plants who eat meat. Beyond the well-known Venus Fly Trap, there are in fact a whole range of carnivorous plants. And there's a niche market of folks who love and care for them. Locally, these folks shop at a business called, We Bite Rare & Unusual Plants. The owner of We Bite is Carlos Detres. One of the knocks against living in a small city like New Orleans – compared to, say, Los Angeles or New York - is the limited range of goods and services available in a smaller place. The logic is, with a smaller population you have a smaller market to sell to. At some point the scale just gets too small to sustain a business for products that aren't in great demand. But when your whole reason for existing at all is a niche market – say, Black and Latina women with discerning organic skincare tastes, or self-identifying strange and peculiar people looking for carnivorous plants and fellow travelers – traditional market logic ceases to apply. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

A recent article in the AARP Magazine inspired Dr. Prather to talk about this topic because he didn't like what the article said.  In this episode, we talk about:—How the summer COVID numbers indicate "a very high" amount of cases expected as we enter into Fall and Winter. —Why the vaccines actually create new COVID variants.  And how the COVID vaccine has been shown to be neither safe or effective.—How to build your immunity and protect yourself from COVID.  And the diagnostics you should get annually to find out the exact state of your health and immune system.—The importance of checking your Vitamin D levels since 85% of deaths from COVID could have been prevented had their Vitamin D levels been in the proper range.  And the Vitamin D level Dr. Prather describes as a "super immunity" number. —The "huge" impact of Iodine on your immune system.  And the optimal (and identical) ranges for Iodine and Vitamin D.—How the loss of taste and smell from COVID is an indication of low Zinc.  And the natural Zinc delivery system Dr. Prather uses in his office that actually works better than Ivermectin.—Dr. Prather's recommendation of IV Therapy with Vitamin C when you have COVID.  And why Structure-Function Care is "really important" because that's where you're going to get a boosting of yours immune system.—Why Dr. Prather calls Venus Fly Trap and Iridodial "like a magic formula" for helping with COVID, which "hardly anybody else has talked about". —The shocking number of people that Dr. Prather estimates who are truly dealing with Long COVID symptoms.  And the symptoms of Long COVID, including:  extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, cognitive changes, sleep disturbances, depression, anxiety, digestive issues, new allergies, and joint pain.—Why Kidney problems were a major factor in determining how hard someone would be hit by COVID and are also being seen after COVID.  And how Dr. Prather's office is "really, really good at fixing the Kidneys" and "probably has the best results in the country".http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
