Angela Lerro's journey from near-death at 89 pounds to vibrant health challenges everything the spiritual community believes about diet. After breast cancer at 28, mysterious autoimmune conditions, and years of declining health on a plant-based diet, this energy worker made a radical decision that saved her life: eating only meat.

In this raw conversation, Angela shares how undiagnosed Lyme disease nearly killed her, why her intuitive gifts were making her sick, and how she combined carnivore nutrition with energy healing to create what she calls "miracles" in her practice. Her story exposes the dangerous disconnect between spiritual wellness culture and human biology.

From fainting 15 times daily to training her German Shepherd as a service dog, Angela's medical odyssey reveals how emotional trauma stores in the body and why proper nutrition is essential for spiritual work. She explains her unique approach to energy healing that works with clients worldwide, how meat consumption improved her psychic abilities, and why she believes the spiritual community's obsession with veganism is harming practitioners.

This isn't your typical wellness story. It's a compelling case for why healing requires addressing mind, body, and spirit simultaneously - and why that might mean eating in ways that contradict popular spiritual teachings.

BIG IDEA

When the student's ready, the teacher appears - and sometimes that teacher is your own body demanding you question everything you've been taught about healing.

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 IDEA

If 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.

What if the very foods we think are nourishing our children are actually setting them up for a lifetime of metabolic dysfunction? In this unfiltered conversation, meat industry veterans Jon Engleson and Yuda Holtzberg pull back the curtain on how ultra-processed foods have hijacked childhood nutrition, creating what they call "the three Cs crisis" - cookies, candy, and cake as meal replacements.

Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald dive deep with these food industry insiders who've spent decades watching the transformation of simple ingredients into chemical cocktails. From hot dogs loaded with corn syrup to "zero sugar" potato chips that spike blood glucose higher than table sugar through maltodextrin, this conversation exposes the gap between what parents think they're feeding their kids and what's actually happening.

The discussion moves beyond problem identification into practical solutions, exploring how traditional food preservation methods - the kind used for centuries before industrial processing - can provide genuinely nourishing alternatives. Learn why a five-year-old asks for "Joburg" instead of breakfast cereal, and how shifting our food investment mindset could reshape both individual health and industry practices.

This isn't just another nutrition podcast - it's a roadmap for parents navigating a food system designed for profit over health, with actionable insights for breaking the cycle of processed food addiction before it takes hold.

BIG IDEA

"The true test is if you give a product to a 9-year-old, a 7-year-old, 11-year-old, there's no way they're gonna eat something that they don't like - so when kids naturally choose real food over processed alternatives, it proves that addiction to artificial ingredients is learned, not innate."

Chiropractor Grant Elliott challenges everything you think you know about lower back pain in this conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia. With over 3 million followers and 250 weekly consultations, Elliott breaks down why 97% of herniated discs recover without surgery, why your core strength has nothing to do with back pain, and how simple movement patterns can provide immediate relief.

Elliott shares his evidence-based approach that contradicts traditional medical advice, explaining the anatomy of disc injuries and why repetitive movement—not rest—helps healing. He discusses the psychological components of chronic pain, proper sleep positioning, nutrition for spine health, and demonstrates the "do the opposite" principle that has helped thousands overcome years of suffering.

From debunking decompression therapy myths to explaining why sitting isn't inherently bad, this interview provides practical tools for anyone dealing with back pain. Elliott also addresses when surgery might be necessary and shares his online rehabilitation program that's helping people worldwide avoid the operating table.

Whether you're dealing with acute pain or have suffered for years, this conversation offers hope and actionable strategies based on current research rather than outdated medical assumptions.

BIG IDEA

Movement is medicine—find the right movements, the right exercises to alleviate lower back pain, because 97% of herniated discs recover without surgery when treated with proper rehabilitation.

What happens when a personal trainer realizes that loading someone under a barbell without asking about their sleep, relationships, and emotional state is like trying to run software on a broken operating system?

In this compelling conversation, Aleks Rybchinskiy shares his transformation from conventional personal trainer to Check Institute practitioner - one of fewer than 100 people to complete the full program. After a near-death experience at age 3, Aleks developed an insatiable curiosity about the deeper mechanics of human health that goes far beyond exercise and nutrition.

Through fascinating case studies, he demonstrates how mysterious chronic pain often stems from unresolved emotional conflicts, how a client's complete colon removal led to breakthroughs in holistic healing, and why measuring pelvic angles might matter more than counting reps. His approach integrates movement, breathing, food, emotions, and relationships into a comprehensive system for addressing the root causes that conventional approaches miss.

The conversation takes an unexpected turn into entrepreneurship as Aleks explains how his quest for clean, nutrient-dense snacks led to creating Bursky - meat sticks made from grass-fed, grass-finished beef, heart, and liver without the industrial additives hiding behind vague labels like "spices." From learning that citric acid comes from black mold to fighting manufacturers who insisted on shortcuts, his journey illuminates why getting real food to market is so challenging.

This isn't just another health podcast - it's a masterclass in seeing the human body as an integrated system where physical symptoms often point to deeper imbalances in how we think, feel, and relate to others.

BIG IDEA

When people are moving, they're also having somatic experiences where their emotions are stuck in muscles, and the moment someone realizes they need to break up with a toxic partner, their back pain can disappear instantly.

Mark Ennis's story reads like a medical impossibility, yet it's devastatingly real. From a 44-pound anorexic teenager whose heart stopped, to a 300-pound rugby player, to a suicidal man contemplating driving into a pole at 120 mph—his journey through the extremes of human suffering culminates in one of the most powerful testimonies about the connection between diet and mental health you'll ever hear.

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Mark shares how three days on a carnivore diet eliminated decades of depression, eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts. He reveals why he burned his nutrition certificates, how the medical system failed him repeatedly, and why he believes food addiction is behind the mental health crisis plaguing our world.

This isn't just another diet success story. It's a window into how our modern food environment creates the very problems our healthcare system claims to treat. Mark's transformation from a broken man to a thriving carnivore coach offers hope for anyone trapped in cycles of depression, eating disorders, or metabolic dysfunction.

Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald guide this profound discussion about the emerging science connecting metabolic health to mental wellness, the institutional barriers preventing this information from reaching those who need it most, and practical steps for anyone ready to reclaim their life through ancestral nutrition.

BIG IDEA

Within three days, my mental health issues were gone, my digestive issues were gone, I was more alert, I wasn't tired anymore, I had more energy—I was like, oh my God, this is insane.
