Lots of people transition from the vegan diet to one that includes meat and animal products...but few do so on a public stage. Former vegan chef Mollie Engelhart had a dietary change of heart that became very public when she changed the menu and name of her restaurant in California. That's when the virtual and in-person backlash and vitriol began. While Mollie's restaurant has now closed, she is a regenerative rancher who is sticking to her dietary convictions.

Today Mollie shares her remarkable story, all that she went through, and why she has chosen to stand strong in the face of opposition. She also explains why she believes regeneratively raised meat, food traditions and food sovereignty are so important. And why she goes the extra mile to get raw milk to her community in Texas.

There are currently techniques being implemented to psychologically manipulate, persuade, and control the public. We're not just referencing marketing firms trying to get you to purchase something. From Hollywood movies to government programs, there are subtle systems and approaches in place to alter behavior...and negatively impact the health and autonomy of the populace.

Jason Christoff runs an international psychological reprogramming institute and in this episode he explains what's going on and how it can sabotage our independence and critical thinking without our even realizing it. Some techniques have been used for centuries and can shift us, for example, from a beta brain wave (thinking) state to an alpha brain wave (trance) state, making us susceptible to suggestion and more compliant. Jason also goes over what toxins in our environment "dumb us down" in effect, also making us possible pawns to powers that desire to control us.

What if your body isn't malfunctioning but adapting? Could trauma or conflict be the root cause of the dis-ease you’re experiencing?

Dr. Melissa Sell, a chiropractor and New Medicine consultant, shares an insightful overview of Germanic New Medicine (GNM), a radically different approach to healing. Many of us spend years overhauling our diets or trying new protocols for gut issues, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illnesses—often without lasting results.

Melissa explains the fundamentals of GNM, highlighting how a root conflict or emotional shock can trigger the body’s adaptation process, leading to symptoms, healing, and eventual resolution. She shares her personal journey of overcoming acne through GNM and why she believes every life conflict serves a purpose, helping us grow and learn.

What if everything we’ve been told is backwards?

Peanuts have been labeled bad for us due to mycotoxins, but what if they’re actually protective—especially against EMFs? And copper, once a staple in our lives through pipes, tools, and cups, has been replaced with iron, PVC, and plastic. Why did we move away from this beneficial material?

In this episode, Matt Roeske of Cultivate Elevate explores "inverted truths" about our health and well-being. From climate change and its manufactured narrative to the real story behind peanuts, copper, and water scarcity, Matt challenges mainstream assumptions. He invites us to think critically and rediscover what truly supports health and balance.

Here's a fresh approach for weight loss! Instead of counting calories or eating less and moving more, what about taking into account the vibration of food, i.e. its life force energy? This is what Chef Whitney Aronoff, of High Vibration Foods, recommends on today's episode.

Whitney's approach focuses less on the numbers on the scale and more on how we feel and how the food we eat makes us feel. She also covers the importance of freshness and sourcing. She tells stories of how her clients' health and weight has stabilized with this perspective. And she also shares what she, as a personal chef, recommends for food choices that help reduce anxiety, boost mood, and improve our relationship with food and our weight.
