Deconstructing Conventional

Show Notes

Send us Fan Mail Ever feel like your devices are listening to you? In this eye-opening conversation with digital privacy expert Hakeem Anwar, we pull back the curtain on the massive surveillance infrastructure built into our everyday technology. From phones that listen when they're "off" to health wearables that track your biometric data and share it with government agencies, the digital landscape has become a minefield for personal privacy. Hakeem, founder of Take Back Our Tech and privacy-...

Send us Fan Mail Cancer is one of the most feared words in modern life, but fear is a terrible guide when you’re trying to make clear decisions. We walk through a different model that reframes cancer as a last-ditch healing response to injury, not a random genetic glitch. That shift changes everything: instead of hunting for a magic bullet, we focus on the conditions that push tissue into low-oxygen, high-acidity stress and the conditions that let the body unwind that process. We dig i...

Send us Fan Mail As a sound engineer in the 1980s and 90s, Andreas Kalcker learned how frequencies move people emotionally, and that led to bigger questions: if vibration can change mood and perception, what else is the body responding to that we never measure? These questions eventually led Dr. Kalcker into biophysics and to a decades-long pursuit of causality in health, disease, and recovery. Throughout this conversation we keep coming back to one core idea: symptoms are the body’s intellig...

Send us Fan Mail A 34-year-old, with “great numbers” and clean imaging, has a widowmaker heart attack, and then recovers without the usual long-term medication stack. That story alone forces us to question what we really know about the heart. I sat down with chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Stephen Hussey, author of Understanding the Heart, to rebuild the heart disease conversation from first principles and from lived experience. We challenge the default plumbing narrati...

Send us Fan Mail The scariest thing about cancer isn’t just the diagnosis, it’s how quickly the conversation narrows into a menu of “approved” attacks. I sit down with author and lecturer G. Edward Griffin, author of World Without Cancer (and The Creature From Jekyll Island), to widen that lens and ask the questions most people never get time for: what IS cancer, and what is the body trying to do? We dig into why conventional care tends to revolve around surgery, radiation, and chemo, and wh...

Send us Fan Mail One "out or range" lab value can feel like a flashing red light, even when you feel fine. I wrote a short “bedtime story” to show how that moment often turns into a very real medical cascade: confusing PDFs, weeks of waiting, fear-fueled searching, a “super low dose” prescription, side effects that create new symptoms, and the slow slide into referrals, advanced testing, and labels that start to define you. If you’ve ever felt your agency shrink every time a new result appear...
