    Fascia and Flow: Diaphragms, Decompression, and the Mechanics of Dis-ease with Deanna Hansen

    What if many of the chronic issues we label as “disease” are really the result of lost space, broken flow, and a body that can no longer breathe from the inside out? In this episode of the Terrain Theory Podcast, we’re joined by fascia researcher and Block Therapy founder Deanna Hansen for a deep exploration of fascia as the physical environment of the body...and why its condition may determine how well your terrain can heal, detoxify, and regenerate. Deanna reframes fascia not as passive connective tissue, but as the body’s primary communication and flow system – the medium through which oxygen, nutrients, lymph, and waste must move. When posture, stress, trauma, and dysfunctional breathing compress this system, flow breaks down. Elimination slows. Cells suffocate. Symptoms emerge. Throughout the conversation, you’ll learn: Why diaphragmatic breathing is the engine of circulation, lymphatic movement, and nervous system regulationWhy most people can’t access proper breath until fascial compression is releasedHow gravity, posture, and chronic stress physically reshape the body over timeWhy pain is often the first signal of blocked flow...and how to work with it instead of against itHow fascia decompression restores space so the body can clear waste and reestablish balanceMost importantly, this episode gives listeners a new lens for understanding their health: not as something to be forced or fixed, but as a terrain to be opened, decompressed, and allowed to flow. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing all the right things” but your body still feels stuck, this conversation may explain why...and show you a path back to movement, breath, and internal flow.

  2. Beyond Chemtrails: Frequency Fence Updates, Control Grids, and Consciousness Plateaus with Mitch the Orgone Donor

    Beyond Chemtrails: Frequency Fence Updates, Control Grids, and Consciousness Plateaus with Mitch the Orgone Donor

    Since his last appearance on the Terrain Theory Podcast, Mitch The Orgone Donor has been thinking bigger. In this wide-ranging return conversation, Mitch challenges one of the most entrenched narratives in the alternative research world: that chemtrails and geoengineering are the agenda itself. Instead, he argues that what we see in the sky may be a symptom – a visible byproduct of a much larger system of control operating at the level of frequency, energy, and consciousness. We explore why Mitch declined invitations to major chemtrail documentaries, how mainstream explanations can function as red herrings, and why entire movements can plateau once a “satisfying” explanation is found. Drawing striking parallels to debates around virology and Terrain Theory, Mitch asks a question that quietly dismantles certainty: Why are we allowed to know this? This episode dives into frequency fences, control grids, HAARP, 5G infrastructure, data centers, weather modification, and the possibility that the most effective forms of control no longer need planes at all. We also examine the role of fear-based narratives, the limits of awareness without solutions, and what it actually means to think bigger in a reality that may be far stranger – and far more layered – than we’re comfortable admitting. If you're seeking easy answers or familiar villains, this one isn'r for you. Join Mitch as he invites us to move past surface-level explanations, question where stories originate, and reconsider what real solutions might look like when the problem itself has been misidentified.

  3. Before Diet Wars: Aajonus Vonderplanitz, the Primal Diet, and Eating For Your Lineage with Phoenix Be

    27 JANV.

    Before Diet Wars: Aajonus Vonderplanitz, the Primal Diet, and Eating For Your Lineage with Phoenix Be

    For months on Terrain Theory, we’ve been exploring nutrition through the lens of terrain – questioning fasting, fruit-heavy paradigms, Natural Hygiene, and the idea that healing happens not through intervention, but through removal of interference. In this episode, we step before the diet wars entirely and ask a deeper question: what is the human body actually built from, and who are we eating for? Our guest is Phoenix Be, a Primal Diet coach who was personally mentored by Aajonus Vonderplanitz and has lived the Primal Diet for over two decades. Rather than framing nutrition as belief or ideology, Phoenix approaches food as biological construction material – something that shapes not just individual health, but generational vitality. We explore Aajonus’ core principles, the logic behind raw animal foods, and why true regeneration may unfold over decades, not weeks. Phoenix shares powerful firsthand stories of recovery, detoxification, and what happens when people abandon short-term protocols in favor of long-term terrain repair. We also examine where Natural Hygiene and fasting paradigms may fall short, how detoxification is often misinterpreted as disease, and why community support is essential when walking outside mainstream nutritional narratives. This conversation challenges modern health culture’s obsession with optimization and immediacy, offering instead a lineage-based view of healing – one where nutrition is about restoring biological intelligence, rebuilding terrain over time, and creating healthier futures for generations we’ll never meet. If you’ve been following our recent conversations around species-appropriate diets, healing crises, and Terrain Theory, this episode doesn’t choose sides...it widens the frame.

  4. 150 Years of Missing Terrain Science: Natural Hygiene, Healing Crises, and the Human Diet with Lauren Farris

    20 JANV.

    150 Years of Missing Terrain Science: Natural Hygiene, Healing Crises, and the Human Diet with Lauren Farris

    What if much of today’s terrain theory conversation is missing its own scientific foundation? In this episode of the Terrain Theory Podcast, we’re joined by Lauren Farris – co-founder of the Terrain Model Refutes Germ Theory community and founder of The Raw Key – for a deep dive into what she argues has been largely overlooked: 150 years of natural hygiene science that followed Béchamp and predates modern medicine entirely. Lauren shares her personal journey from chronic illness – including IBS, migraines, anxiety, fatigue, and a breast mass – to profound healing through natural hygiene principles, a fruit-centered raw diet, and allowing the body to complete its own elimination processes without intervention. Central to this conversation is the concept of the healing crisis – why symptoms like fever, mucus, rashes, and exhaustion may not be signs of failure or infection, but evidence of the body finally doing what it was designed to do. We explore why Lauren believes humans are biologically frugivores, not omnivores or carnivores, examining jaw structure, digestion, protein metabolism, and the difference between nutrient density and assimilation. She explains why the body doesn’t “use” dietary protein but builds its own from amino acids, why meat putrefaction matters, and why elimination, not supplementation or suppression, is at the core of real healing. The conversation also challenges popular ideas around detox, herbs, superfoods, fasting, salt, hydration, and food-as-medicine, while grounding everything in observable biological law rather than belief or trend. This episode is not about comfort or compromise. It’s about revisiting forgotten science, questioning assumptions – even within the terrain community – and asking what happens when we stop interfering with the body’s intelligence and finally let it heal.

  5. Becoming Unprogrammable: Coherence, Frequency, and Ditching Matrix Water with Dr. Jo Whitaker

    13 JANV.

    Becoming Unprogrammable: Coherence, Frequency, and Ditching Matrix Water with Dr. Jo Whitaker

    What happens when someone trained at the very heart of modern science begins to question everything they were taught? In this episode of the Terrain Theory Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Jo Whitaker, a scientist with a PhD in genetic vaccines and advanced training in genetics, microbiology, immunology, and oncology, whose career took a radical turn when the prevailing scientific narrative stopped matching observable reality. Trained at the highest levels of academic science, Dr. Jo once worked squarely within the frameworks of germ theory, molecular biology, and genetic intervention. But during the COVID era, unresolved contradictions around immunity, vaccine design, research integrity, and public health policy forced her to look deeper. What she found wasn’t simply corruption or bad incentives, but a foundational blind spot in how biology itself is understood. This conversation moves beyond surface-level critiques to explore what may be missing entirely from modern medicine: water, charge, coherence, consciousness, and the quantum nature of living systems. We discuss why so much published science is unreproducible, how academic incentives shape “truth,” and why the body may function less like a biochemical machine and more like a resonant, electromagnetic field interacting constantly with its environment. Dr. Jo shares her work with Crystal Water Experience, where she’s developing practical ways for people to directly engage with coherence, grounding, and biological sovereignty – without outsourcing intuition to institutions. This episode is not about adopting new beliefs. It’s about reclaiming curiosity, experimentation, and direct experience – hallmarks of real science that many feel have been lost. If you’ve ever sensed that health is about more than pathogens or questioned why modern biology feels increasingly disconnected from lived reality, this conversation invites you to explore what lies beneath...and beyond.

    Daily Non-Negotiables: Highlights From 2025

    At the end of every Terrain Theory episode, we ask our guests the same question: What are your non-negotiables, the daily habits you do to tend to your terrain? In this special year-end episode, we revisit some of the most compelling answers from 2025. Across disciplines and perspectives, our guests reflect on rhythm and circadian health, movement in nature, nutrition and species-appropriate eating, discipline and simplicity, stillness and nervous-system regulation, and the role of joy in maintaining coherence. Rather than offering a single prescription, these conversations reveal a shared principle: health emerges when we stop forcing the body and start aligning with the rhythms of the natural world. As we close out the year and look ahead to 2026, this episode invites you to reflect on your own non-negotiables...and what it truly means to live in alignment.

  7. Wellness Check #10: Free Birth Babies, Lunar Returns, and Right Thinking for Terrain Living

    19/12/2025

    Wellness Check #10: Free Birth Babies, Lunar Returns, and Right Thinking for Terrain Living

    In this Wellness Check episode of the Terrain Theory Podcast, Ben and Mike sit down with their Primary Healthcare Providers – themselves – for a grounded, honest check-in as 2025 comes to a close and 2026 comes into view. This conversation spans the deeply personal and the deeply practical. Ben shares the story of welcoming a new baby through an unexpected, peaceful home birth – an experience that reframes birth not as a medical emergency, but as a natural, intuitive process when fear and intervention are removed. From newborn rhythms and breastfeeding challenges to trust in the body’s ability to self-regulate, the conversation reflects what it looks like to live the philosophy of terrain, not just talk about it. Mike reflects on the evolution of his own health journey – how habits that once felt radical are now simply life. He opens up about anxiety, career pressure, and the realization that right thinking may matter more than perfect diet or protocols. Together, they explore how stress, rhythm, circadian health, cold exposure, sauna, fasting, and seasonal living all intersect – not as hacks, but as ways of aligning with nature. The episode also looks forward. Lunar returns, fasting cycles, creative rhythms, aging, concussion awareness, and the responsibility that comes with truly believing the body can heal...all become part of an ongoing inquiry rather than fixed conclusions. This is not a prescriptive episode. It’s a reflective one. A reminder that health is not something we outsource, optimize once, or solve forever, but something we participate in daily, with curiosity, humility, and presence. As always, this conversation is for educational purposes only and reflects personal experience. It is not medical advice. Remember: You are light. You are love.

  8. Resonance Over Rules: Fruit, Fasting, and Finding Your Nutritional Frequency with Marlon Azurdia

    12/12/2025

    Resonance Over Rules: Fruit, Fasting, and Finding Your Nutritional Frequency with Marlon Azurdia

    After more than three years, Marlon Azurdia returns to the Terrain Theory Podcast...and he brings with him a depth of lived experience that can only come from someone fully committed to walking the path. A former CrossFit Games athlete who famously competed as a vegan, Marlon has spent the last decade challenging every nutritional and performance assumption placed in front of him. In this episode, he shares how that journey has evolved since we last spoke: from a year as a fruitarian experimenting with the mucusless diet, to a powerful nine-day fast, to the creation and continued refinement of his framework, Phitlosophy: a fusion of movement, mindfulness, and meditation grounded in alchemical principles. This conversation is part of our ongoing series exploring diet and the human terrain, and the question at its heart: Is there one species-appropriate way of eating for humans? Or are we meant to tune our bodies like instruments, adjusting the dial as we resonate with different foods, experiences, and levels of consciousness? Marlon reminds us that diet is more than macros, labels, or ideology. It is information. It is resonance. It is a pathway to inner standing. And when we learn to quiet the noise, break pattern, and return to zero, we may finally be able to hear what our terrain is asking for. If you’ve ever questioned your own nutritional path, struggled with polarization around diet, or wondered how to integrate body, mind, and spirit through what you consume, this episode offers a perspective both liberating and deeply grounding.
