    S08E21 - Herbal Support for Chronic Lyme Disease with Richard Mandelbaum
    Dec 5 2025
    Today I am back with one of my herbal teachers to talk about herbal and holistic approaches to managing Lyme disease. It is a topic that is becoming ever more relevant as the medical community has been coming to the realization that there is such a thing as chronic Lyme, where acute measures such as antibiotics fall short. This is where herbal support can really shine in helping to peel back the layers that are causing disharmony and reestablish a healthy foundation for health. Richard Mandelbaum RH is a clinical herbalist with a private practice, offering personalized health consultations, online and in person in the southern Catskills, NY. Richard has been an avid student of our native flora for close to forty years, and in addition to seeing clients he teaches classes in clinical herbal medicine, field botany, and phytochemistry. He is a co-founder and core instructor at the ArborVitae School of Traditional Herbalism and is on the faculty at David Winston’s Center for Herbal Studies and the Won Institute of Graduate Studies. Richard has been a Registered Herbalist since 2003 and was a member of the American Herbalists Guild board of directors from 2012 to 2018. He lives with his wife Gabrielle and his daughter Rose in their straw bale home in Forestburgh, NY. You can learn more about Richard, including articles, podcast interviews, etc. at Richard Mandelbaum RH.

  • S08E20 - Reduce Inflammation w/ Science-Backed Natural Solutions w/ Samuel Shepherd - Part2

    S08E20 - Reduce Inflammation w/ Science-Backed Natural Solutions w/ Samuel Shepherd - Part2
    Nov 21 2025
    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.

  • S08E16 - The Marvelous Benefits of Molecular Hydrogen with Greg The Hydrogen Man

    S08E16 - The Marvelous Benefits of Molecular Hydrogen with Greg The Hydrogen Man
    Sep 19 2025
    I was blown away by the myriad of health benefits of a tiny molecule composed of 2 hydrogens (H2) after the conversation with today’s guest. I dove into the research myself and saw that the literature has described the anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties of molecular hydrogen. The most common methods of administration are inhalation and ingestion of the dissolved molecule in water. Research also shows that endogenous H2 is produced in the intestines, and can be stimulated by dietary intake of turmeric, for example (another win for herbs!). Struggling to find answers and overcome extreme depression due to his compromised immune system, tumors, autoimmune issues, gut health, arthritis, wheelchair-bound immobility, and a very serious heart condition, Greg Hman began his own journey to heal himself and discovered hydrogen along the way. Studying the complex compound for four years, he implemented it into his health regimen and reversed his health challenges. Greg discusses the endless health benefits of hydrogen including longevity, gut health and improving chronic health issues. Greg also talks about how it helps support the body through a variety of stressors including: EMF radiation, skincare, tumors, hormone imbalances and COVID-19.

    S08E14 - Transforming Health with Ancestral Nutrition with James Barry
    Aug 22 2025
    I have used the word “impressive” more times than I could count when conversing with today’s guest, whose passion is to reconnect people to the wisdom of ancestral eating. For him, this work is deeply personal—it’s not just about creating a product, but about addressing the nutritional deficiencies that are at the root of so many modern health challenges. James Barry is on a mission to make organ meats, which are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, accessible and enjoyable for everyone. He wants to break down the barriers of stigma and convenience that often keep people from embracing these powerful foods. He believes that merging traditional wisdom with modern convenience is the key to true wellness. Food is medicine, and by embracing nutrient-rich, whole foods, we can heal not just our bodies but also our connection to the planet and each other. His hope is to inspire listeners to see that small, intentional changes can have a profound impact on their health and vitality. It’s about making health accessible, sustainable, and, most importantly, enjoyable. James Barry’s 20 years in the culinary field started as a private chef cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Mariska Hargitay (of Law & Order:SVI fame), Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. James is CEO & Founder of the organ-based, superfood seasoning, Pluck. It's the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet. James is also a published cookbook author having co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd’s book Eat Naked and Dr. Alejandro Junger’s book, Clean 7.
