Deconstructing Conventional

Christian Elliot

Welcome to Deconstructing Conventional, a show fascinated by one simple question: How did we get here? How did what we call “conventional” come to earn that title? Is there a better way, and if so, what would it look like? This show is about deconstructing two things: Our individual biases, and the systems that run (or attempt to run) our everyday lives. We do this deconstruction with an eye for where we can reconstruct something better that leads to flourishing societies, and robust physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. In short, this show is about questioning our assumptions and practicing systems-level thinking. I’m your host, Christian Elliot, I’ll do my best to stay curious and humble. You do the same and we’re both bound to learn something. Welcome to the show. Prepare to have your thinking stretched.

    Dr. Scott Johnson: Beyond Pharmaceuticals - Overcoming the Incurable: How Plant Medicines Heal Without Harm

    Send us a text What if nature already contains the solutions to many of our health challenges? In this eye-opening conversation with Dr. Scott Johnson—naturopath, author of 28 books, and one of the world's foremost authorities on essential oils—we uncover how plant medicines can work with remarkable potency while avoiding the toxic side effects of pharmaceuticals. Dr. Johnson's passionate journey began with his own diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis, a rare auto-inflammatory condition doctors told him would require lifelong medication. After experiencing stomach ulcers from conventional drugs, he discovered powerful herbal remedies that not only healed his stomach but eventually put his "incurable" condition into remission. When he excitedly shared this breakthrough with his rheumatologist, instead of curiosity, he was met with dismissal and anger—a moment that crystallized his mission to help others discover natural healing pathways. We explore what makes essential oils unique in the spectrum of plant medicines. Unlike herbs or tinctures, these concentrated volatile compounds can penetrate cell membranes, cross the blood-brain barrier, and reach deep into the respiratory system. Perhaps most importantly, they maintain nature's complete formula rather than isolating single compounds, creating what Dr. Johnson calls "side benefits rather than side effects." The conversation gets practical with specific recommendations for common conditions. For inflammation and pain, a blend of frankincense, copaiba and fir oils taken in a capsule has helped countless people find relief. For allergies, the combination of lemon, lavender and peppermint works through multiple mechanisms: peppermint as a bronchodilator, lavender as a natural antihistamine, and lemon supporting overall immune function. Throughout our discussion, Dr. Johnson emphasizes that essential oils should complement—not replace—healthy lifestyle foundations. "No amount of taking an essential oil is going to override poor diet and sedentary habits," he reminds us. Yet when integrated into a holistic approach, these powerful plant extracts can dramatically reduce our dependence on pharmaceuticals and help us reclaim our inherent healing capacities.

Discover how essential oils might transform your approach to health and healing while reconnecting you with traditional wisdom that modern science is only beginning to validate.

    Christian Elliot: The Breakthrough Blueprint: How Bankruptcy Taught Me What Success Never Could and Why Hitting Rock Bottom Could be Your Fresh Start

    Send us a text Have you ever had your entire life upended in an instant? At 41, with a wife and four children depending on me, I found myself filing for bankruptcy after our fitness studio of 12 years collapsed. Standing amid the ruins of what we'd built, I had to make an impossible choice: accept the only job offer I had or bet on myself with no safety net. That moment of crisis became the crucible for everything I now understand about creating breakthroughs in life. Through tears and raw vulnerability, I share how bankruptcy burned away everything that wasn't essential and forced me to rebuild with intention. The clean slate became my greatest gift—painful, yes, but ultimately transformative. This deeply personal journey reveals three critical lessons for anyone facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. First, you must define your "why" and what success truly means to you. My realization that I wanted work to fit around family, not the other way around, became my north star. Second, you need two defiant core beliefs: that failure is an event, not your identity, and that you are adequate to learn from mistakes. The virtues of humility and curiosity became my foundation, allowing gratitude to replace entitlement and fascination to overcome disappointment. Finally, I discovered that breakthroughs require two types of people: friends who stand by you in your darkest hour, and guides who've solved problems like yours before. Both relationships demand vulnerability—accepting help when you can't repay it, and humbling yourself to learn from others and get gritty learning new skills. What emerged from this three-year wilderness wasn't just survival but a completely reimagined life. The suffering had purpose. If you're facing your own wall right now, remember that perseverance produces character, and character produces hope. Your breakthrough awaits not by avoiding suffering, but by finding something worth suffering for. BLOG POST MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Bankruptcy.

    Dr. Peter Breggin: Brain Hijackers - The Dehumanizing Truth About Psych Meds, Methylene Blue, and Profit-Driven Crimes of Psychiatry

    Send us a text In this profound and eye-opening conversation, psychiatrist Dr. Peter Breggin shares the extraordinary journey that has earned him the title "conscience of psychiatry." With seven decades of experience fighting against medical corruption, Dr. Breggin offers rare insights into the true nature of psychiatric medications and their impact on the human brain and spirit. The interview begins with Dr. Breggin's moving personal story—how his childhood experiences, including early exposure to Holocaust imagery, shaped his determination to stand against injustice. This moral compass led him, at age 18, to volunteer at a state mental hospital where he witnessed conditions so horrific he compared them to concentration camps. Rather than turning away, he committed himself to reforming psychiatry from within. Dr. Breggin delivers a powerful critique of modern psychiatric practice, dismantling the "chemical imbalance" theory as a pharmaceutical marketing fiction. He explains how psychiatric medications function as "chemical lobotomies," damaging the brain rather than healing it. Particularly illuminating is his concept of "medication spellbinding"—how drugs impair the brain in ways that prevent patients from recognizing the harm being done, creating a dangerous dependency cycle. The conversation then turns to an urgent warning about methylene blue, a substance gaining popularity in alternative health circles. Drawing on his expert knowledge, he reveals its dangers as "the mother of all pharmaceuticals"—a powerful enzyme inhibitor that can trigger severe psychiatric disturbances and potentially lethal interactions. Throughout the interview, Dr. Breggin's humanity shines through his scientific explanations. He shares touching stories of his marriage to Ginger, his partner of 42 years, and how their relationship has sustained his difficult work. The discussion culminates with his five principles for living—among them "dare to trust in a loving God," offering not just critique but a positive vision for what human connection and healing can look like. Whether you're concerned about psychiatric medications, interested in medical ethics, or simply seeking wisdom from a life dedicated to truth and justice, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and perhaps change how you view mental health care forever. Dr. Breggin's message is ultimately one of hope—that even in our most vulnerable moments, healing comes through human connection rather than chemical intervention.

    Kerri Rivera: Autism is Not Forever - The Blueprint for Healing that Doctors Don't Know

    Send us a text What if everything we've been told about autism is wrong? What if this condition that affects 1 in 32 children isn't genetic, permanent, or untreatable, but instead represents a massive poisoning crisis that can be reversed? Kerri Rivera joins us to share her extraordinary journey from desperate mother to pioneering healer who's helped over 5,000 children recover from autism. After watching her own son slip away between 12-24 months old, becoming nonverbal after vaccinations, Kerri refused to accept the medical establishment's grim prognosis. Through relentless research and divine appointments with mentors like Dr. Bernard Rimland, Kerri discovered and refined protocols that have transformed thousands of lives. Her approach centers on chlorine dioxide therapy, specialized dietary interventions (particularly low-glutamate and carnivore diets), parasite protocols, and addressing the gut-brain connection. "You can recover your child from autism," Kerri explains. "But it's work. Between 18-36 months of consistent effort, you can take your child back to the path they were destined to follow." Kerri walks us through her toolkit: removing inflammatory foods, implementing chlorine dioxide, addressing parasites, improving stomach acid, and supporting detoxification pathways. This conversation isn't just for parents of autistic children—it's for anyone concerned about the exponential rise in chronic illness in our children. If we continue on our current trajectory, projections suggest half of all children could be diagnosed with autism within 15-25 years. Kerri has faced extraordinary censorship for her work—deplatforming, demonetization, SWAT raids, and relentless smear campaigns. Yet she continues offering hope because she's witnessed too many recoveries to stay silent. Whether you're seeking answers for your own family or simply questioning why autism didn't exist before the 1940s, this eye-opening conversation challenges everything we've been told about this condition and offers a pathway forward built on one mother's refusal to give up.

    Mark Grenon: The Unseen Realm - A Missionary's Journey Reveals Biblical Realities

    Send us a text What if the strangest parts of the Bible aren't myth but documented reality? Mark Grenon's journey from skeptical to global missionary reveals archaeological evidence and supernatural encounters that make Scripture's most controversial passages suddenly plausible. Mark's story begins with a life-altering encounter with believers who could answer his deepest questions from Scripture. Within months, he abandoned his construction career to attend Bible college, eventually pastoring a thriving church before feeling divinely called to Nigeria. The evidence Mark encountered during his decades of ministry would challenge anyone's skepticism. In Israel, he touched olive trees in Gethsemane that were already ancient when Jesus prayed there, drank from Jacob's well that still flows with cool water, and found sulfur balls in the ruins of Gomorrah that burn at an inexplicable 6,000 degrees. In Ecuador, he witnessed a 35-foot giant skeleton that aligns perfectly with Genesis 6 accounts of Nephilim. These aren't religious claims but archaeological realities that mainstream education systematically ignores. Perhaps most compelling are Mark's supernatural encounters—from demonic manifestations in Nigerian markets to angelic messengers who appeared and vanished in Boston after delivering specific guidance. His near-death experience during heart surgery gave him a glimpse beyond the veil that separates our physical world from the spiritual realm. Through it all, Mark discovered that Scripture isn't just spiritually inspiring—it's historically precise in ways that defy coincidence. Whether you're a committed believer or a thoughtful skeptic, Mark's experiences offer a challenge worth considering: what if we've been given a sanitized, two-dimensional version of both history and spirituality? His firsthand accounts might just be the evidence you need to reconsider the Bible not as mythology, but as the most accurate historical document ever preserved.  Grennon's GiveSendGoGrenon's Books, E-Books and recommended documentariesNumber of Biblical prophecies fulfilledGiant skeletons in Equador?Noah's Ark Location?Pharaoh's Buried Army in the Red Sea?The Real Mt.

    Mark Grenon: Imprisoned, Poisoned, Debanked, Deplatformed, and Unstoppable: Life as a Medical Missionary

    Send us a text Mark Grenon's life story reads like a thriller but carries the weight of hard truth about health freedom in America. A missionary pilot who spent 47 years serving communities across Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Colombia, Mark's path took an unexpected turn when he and his family contracted antibiotic-resistant MRSA in 2006. Facing a potentially fatal diagnosis with no effective medical treatment, Mark discovered chlorine dioxide—a simple compound that completely healed his family when conventional antibiotics had failed. This miracle led him to partner with Jim Humble, forming the Genesis 2 Church of Health and Healing to teach others about this healing protocol. The results were extraordinary, with documented cases of recovery from malaria, cancer, AIDS, and numerous other conditions that Mark witnessed firsthand during his global outreach work. But success came at a devastating price. As his healing ministry expanded to 19 countries, Mark became a target. He experienced multiple assassination attempts, systematic deplatforming, debanking, and ultimately, a coordinated government raid in 2020 that led to his imprisonment along with his sons. The trial that followed trampled constitutional rights, with the judge explicitly instructing the jury to disregard First Amendment protections. Despite having no criminal history and no victims claiming harm, Mark and his sons received maximum sentences. While incarcerated, Mark nearly died when his mitral valve ruptured and prison officials delayed medical treatment. Now released but with two sons still imprisoned, he continues fighting for justice while sharing his knowledge about healing protocols that threatened pharmaceutical profits enough to warrant this level of persecution. Mark's resilience and unwavering faith serve as both warning and inspiration for anyone concerned about health freedom and constitutional rights in America today.

    Hakeem Anwar: Your Phone is Eroding Your Privacy, Dignity, and Humanity - And How to Take Back Your Tech

    Send us a text 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-focused company Above, breaks down why Apple's privacy policies aren't what they seem, how vulnerable our cellular networks have become, and why SIM swapping poses a serious risk to our digital security. The conversation goes beyond just identifying problems to offer practical solutions that anyone can implement, regardless of technical skill level. We discuss breaking free from the "walled garden" of big tech and how to make a smooth transition to a genuinely private phone. I share my own experience switching from iPhone to a de-Googled Android device, including the initial friction points and how quickly they were resolved with proper support. Hakeem explains the advantages of open-source software, end-to-end encryption, and having multiple profiles on your phone to separate private and work environments. Perhaps most importantly, Hakeem addresses the philosophical aspect of digital privacy – why it matters now more than ever as we face increasing surveillance from both government and corporate entities. With developments like digital IDs, facial recognition at airports, and massive data collection initiatives like Project Stargate, the window to establish our digital sovereignty may be closing. Ready to take control of your digital life and protect your privacy? Listen now to discover practical steps toward digital freedom and learn why the effort is absolutely worth it in today's surveillance economy. Your future self will thank you for the peace of mind that comes with knowing your personal data truly belongs to you.

    Glenn Meder: Digital Shackles - Are We Sleepwalking Into A High-Tech Prison?

    Send us a text What if the surveillance capabilities monitoring you today had existed during the American Revolution? According to privacy expert Glenn Meter, "The founding fathers would have been rounded up and executed—just a footnote in history." This chilling perspective frames our conversation about the digital control grid being constructed around us all. Glenn pulls back the curtain on how seemingly beneficial initiatives like child safety bills and digital IDs serve as Trojan horses for eliminating anonymity and privacy. "All of these companies are working together to put this surveillance state in," he explains, revealing the coordinated effort behind what appears random. Most alarming is his breakdown of Central Bank Digital Currencies—not simply digital money, but programmable control systems that can instantly punish speech or behavior deemed unacceptable. The infrastructure for a Chinese-style social credit system already exists in America, just wrapped in different packaging. From carbon scores appearing on flight bookings to AI systems embedded in operating systems taking screenshots every second, the mechanisms for monitoring and controlling citizens grow more sophisticated daily. Even electric vehicles and smart homes serve this agenda: "They're pushing electric cars because they're controllable. They can't control a gas-powered car with no computers." Yet amid these sobering revelations, Glenn offers both practical solutions and genuine hope. His Privacy Academy provides step-by-step guidance for non-technical people to reclaim digital sovereignty without becoming overwhelmed. "It's not just as simple as a VPN," he cautions, outlining a methodical approach anyone can follow to escape digital surveillance. The window to preserve liberty remains open, but narrowing. Constitutional principles offer powerful leverage against federal overreach, and human ingenuity continues to create pathways to freedom. "We, the people, have the power," Glenn reminds us, "we just need to wake up." Ready to protect yourself and your family? Join Glenn's upcoming webinar specifically for our listeners and discover practical steps to secure your digital life before the surveillance state closes its grip. The technology to control humanity exists—but so do the tools to remain free.
