    Dr. Mark Edmond | Beyond Diagnosis: The New Biology Clinic Approach

    What if your diagnosis was never the whole story? In this deeply eye-opening conversation, Autumn sits down with Dr. Mark Edmond, a physician with 18 years of experience in family practice and a doctor at the New Biology Clinic, founded by Dr. Tom Cowan. If you've ever wondered what healing actually looks like through a terrain-based lens, this episode pulls back the curtain on the New Biology Clinic's unique appraoch and how it differs from traditional and holisitc healthcare alike.  Many people have questioned germ theory, viruses, parasites, mold, cancer, chronic illness, and the conventional disease model. But the question that often comes next is: What now? How does healing actually look when you are no longer viewing the body as broken, defective, or under attack? Dr. Mark Edmond helps unpack a very different way of looking at health. One that begins with the full story of the person, not just a label, lab result, or diagnosis. Inside this conversation, we explore: • What terrain-based care looks like in real practice • Why symptoms may be clues instead of enemies • How fear can keep people trapped in the disease model • The difference between fighting illness and creating health • Why the story behind the symptoms matters • How emotional, relational, and environmental factors can impact health • Where testing may help and where it may become a trap • Mold, mycotoxins, cancer, chronic symptoms, and natural healing • The danger of using "green pharmaceuticals" instead of addressing the root issue • Why healing often requires curiosity, responsibility, and courage This is not a surface-level health conversation. It is a paradigm shift for anyone ready to stop outsourcing their body, their intuition, and their healing journey.  ✴️ Connect with Dr. Edmond at the New Biology Clinic, or The Good Doc      🔥 Own Your Wellness Revolution 🔥 Ready to ditch the status quo and reclaim your health?  Here's how to start: 🗓️ Snag a FREE 30-Minute Strategy Call Book your one-on-one with Autumn and map out your path to a stronger, freer you.  🌀 Shop Smarter, Live Cleaner Check out the 'Know Better | Do Better' Amazon Storefront for handpicked gear to fuel your healthy rebellion.  🛒 Grab the FREE Clean Swap Guide Download now and swap out the junk for healthier alternatives—no excuses.  📧  Join the 'Know Better | Do Better' Newsletter for exclusive guest drops, insider tips, and subscriber-only fire—hit subscribe!  🌟 Link Up with Autumn Stay in the loop and join the tribe:  Instagram  Facebook TikTok

    #162 The Truth About Pelvic Floor Dysfunction That No One Talks About | Andrea Dimler

    Most women have been told that leaking when you sneeze, lower back pain, hip pain, painful intimacy, and core weakness are simply part of motherhood. What if they're not? In this eye-opening conversation, Autumn sits down with prenatal and postpartum corrective exercise specialist Andrea Dimler to uncover one of the most overlooked areas of women's health: the pelvic floor.  As a former labor and delivery nurse, neurology nurse, CrossFit coach, childbirth educator, and women's corrective exercise specialist, Andrea has helped countless women understand what most of us were never taught about the connection between breathing, posture, core strength, birth recovery, and pelvic floor health. What makes this conversation so surprising is that many symptoms women struggle with every day don't always point where we think they do. Back pain. Hip pain. Leaking when you laugh. Urgency to find a bathroom. Pain with intimacy. Core weakness that won't improve no matter how much you exercise. Many of these issues may have far more to do with the pelvic floor than most women realize. Inside this episode, you'll discover: • What the pelvic floor actually is and why it matters • The surprising connection between your breathing and pelvic floor health • Why leaking after childbirth is common, but not normal • The difference between a weak pelvic floor and an overly tight pelvic floor • Why back pain, hip pain, and posture issues may be connected • The truth about kegels and why they aren't always the answer • How pregnancy and childbirth impact the pelvic floor • Practical steps women can take today to begin supporting healing naturally • What every woman should know before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and after birth Whether you've had children or not, this conversation may completely change how you think about your body, your symptoms, and your health. Because sometimes the issue isn't where the pain shows up. It's where the story starts.  ✳️ Check out Andrea's App ✴️ Connect with Andrea on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok     🔥 Own Your Wellness Revolution 🔥 Ready to ditch the status quo and reclaim your health?  Here's how to start: 🗓️ Snag a FREE 30-Minute Strategy Call Book your one-on-one with Autumn and map out your path to a stronger, freer you.  🌀 Shop Smarter, Live Cleaner Check out the 'Know Better | Do Better' Amazon Storefront for handpicked gear to fuel your healthy rebellion.  🛒 Grab the FREE Clean Swap Guide Download now and swap out the junk for healthier alternatives—no excuses.  📧  Join the 'Know Better | Do Better' Newsletter for exclusive guest drops, insider tips, and subscriber-only fire—hit subscribe!  🌟 Link Up with Autumn Stay in the loop and join the tribe:  Instagram  Facebook TikTok

    #161 The Air You're Breathing Could Be Making You Sick | Jasper Air Purification with Justin Liberman

    Most people think about the food they eat and the water they drink. Few stop to think about the air they breathe. Yet the average person takes more than 20,000 breaths every single day, and the quality of that air may be impacting everything from sleep and allergies to asthma, mold exposure, inflammation, and overall health. In this episode, Autumn sits down with Justin Liberman, Director of Operations at Jasper, to discuss one of the most overlooked areas of health: indoor air quality. Justin shares the remarkable story behind Jasper's creation after one of the largest wildfires in Canadian history exposed a major gap in how homes were being restored after disaster. What began as a search for better air purification technology evolved into one of the most powerful home air-cleaning systems available today. Together, Autumn and Justin explore: • Why most air purifiers may not be doing what you think they are • The hidden connection between air quality and sleep • Mold, mycotoxins, and what every homeowner should understand • How HEPA and activated carbon filtration work together • Why asthma, allergies, congestion, and snoring may improve with cleaner air • The truth about airborne particles you can't see • What separates Jasper from other air purification systems • Why indoor air quality deserves a place in every health conversation If you've ever wondered whether your home environment could be affecting your health, this conversation will give you practical insights and actionable steps you can take today. ✴️ Connect with Jaspr on Facebook, TikTok, or  Instagram     🔥 Own Your Wellness Revolution 🔥 Ready to ditch the status quo and reclaim your health?  Here's how to start: 🗓️ Snag a FREE 30-Minute Strategy Call Book your one-on-one with Autumn and map out your path to a stronger, freer you.  🌀 Shop Smarter, Live Cleaner Check out the 'Know Better | Do Better' Amazon Storefront for handpicked gear to fuel your healthy rebellion.  🛒 Grab the FREE Clean Swap Guide Download now and swap out the junk for healthier alternatives—no excuses.  📧  Join the 'Know Better | Do Better' Newsletter for exclusive guest drops, insider tips, and subscriber-only fire—hit subscribe!  🌟 Link Up with Autumn Stay in the loop and join the tribe:  Instagram  Facebook TikTok

    #160 Dr. Jordan Grant | Questioning Viruses, Genes & "Scientific Truth"

    What if some of the biggest beliefs in modern medicine were built on assumptions we've never been taught to question? In this mind-bending conversation, I sit down with Dr. Jordan Grant, former urologist and co-founder of Grant Hormone & Wellness, to explore the deeper philosophical, scientific, and spiritual questions surrounding modern health. From viruses and lab testing to genetics, hormones, terrain theory, and the limits of "scientific certainty," this episode challenges listeners to think beyond the narratives most of us were raised to trust without question. Dr. Grant shares his journey from practicing within the traditional medical system to asking deeper questions that eventually transformed the way he viewed medicine, health, evidence, and the body itself. This is not a surface-level health conversation. It's an invitation to slow down, think critically, ask better questions, and reconsider what true health may actually look like. Topics Discussed: • Terrain theory vs. germ theory • The philosophical limits of "science" • Viruses, PCR testing & cytopathic effects • Genes, lab testing & medical assumptions • Testosterone, hormones & modern health • Faith, worldview & critical thinking • The hidden dangers of blind trust in authority • Why questioning assumptions matters 👤 About Dr. Jordan Grant: Dr. Jordan Grant attended Texas A&M University, earned his medical degree from Texas Tech University School of Medicine, and completed his urologic residency through Baylor Scott & White Hospital. After years inside the conventional medical system, his journey led him into deeper exploration surrounding health, terrain theory, philosophy, and the foundations of modern medicine. This episode may challenge you. But it may also set you free to think differently. ✴️ Connect with Dr. Grant on Instagram     🔥 Own Your Wellness Revolution 🔥 Ready to ditch the status quo and reclaim your health?  Here's how to start: 🗓️ Snag a FREE 30-Minute Strategy Call Book your one-on-one with Autumn and map out your path to a stronger, freer you.  🌀 Shop Smarter, Live Cleaner Check out the 'Know Better | Do Better' Amazon Storefront for handpicked gear to fuel your healthy rebellion.  🛒 Grab the FREE Clean Swap Guide Download now and swap out the junk for healthier alternatives—no excuses.  📧  Join the 'Know Better | Do Better' Newsletter for exclusive guest drops, insider tips, and subscriber-only fire—hit subscribe!  🌟 Link Up with Autumn Stay in the loop and join the tribe:  Instagram  Facebook TikTok

    #159 Is Your Home Making You Sick? | Ryan Blaser of Test My Home

    What if the reason you're exhausted, foggy, anxious, inflamed, or constantly not feeling like yourself… is actually your home?  Most people think about health through the lens of food, supplements, hormones, or fitness. But what if the air you breathe, the water you shower in, the mold hidden behind your walls, the chemicals in your home, or even the EMFs surrounding you every day are silently impacting your body? In this eye-opening episode, Autumn sits down with Ryan Blaser, founder and CEO of Test My Home, to uncover the hidden environmental stressors affecting modern homes and the people living inside them. With a background in electrical engineering, environmental toxicology, mold remediation, and building biology, Ryan has spent years helping families identify the unseen toxins contributing to symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, sleep disruption, chronic inflammation, and more. After becoming seriously ill from mold exposure himself, Ryan turned his personal health crisis into a mission: helping others create healthier living environments and uncover root causes many people never think to investigate. Inside this episode, we discuss: • Mold toxicity and hidden water damage • Why "clean-looking" homes can still be toxic • Indoor air quality and brain fog • EMF exposure and sleep disruption • Chemicals hiding in everyday products • Water contamination and microplastics • Why new homes can sometimes be the most toxic • Air purifiers, healthy home tips, and practical changes you can make today • The surprising connection between environmental toxins and chronic symptoms Ryan also shares real stories from homes he's tested, including cases involving severe mold exposure, neurological symptoms, emotional changes, and hidden environmental triggers most people would never suspect. This conversation will completely change the way you think about your home, your health, and the environment surrounding you every single day.  ✴️ Find Test My Home on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or  YouTube 🏠 Home Cleanse is the company Ryan highlighted for a high-level mold remediation option.        🔥 Own Your Wellness Revolution 🔥 Ready to ditch the status quo and reclaim your health?  Here's how to start: 🗓️ Snag a FREE 30-Minute Strategy Call Book your one-on-one with Autumn and map out your path to a stronger, freer you.  🌀 Shop Smarter, Live Cleaner Check out the 'Know Better | Do Better' Amazon Storefront for handpicked gear to fuel your healthy rebellion.  🛒 Grab the FREE Clean Swap Guide Download now and swap out the junk for healthier alternatives—no excuses.  📧  Join the 'Know Better | Do Better' Newsletter for exclusive guest drops, insider tips, and subscriber-only fire—hit subscribe!  🌟 Link Up with Autumn Stay in the loop and join the tribe:  Instagram  Facebook TikTok

    #158 Injecting Truth: What Parents Aren't Told About Vaccines

    What if parents were given only half the conversation before making one of the biggest medical decisions for their children? In this episode of Know Better | Do Better, Autumn sits down with Angela, healthcare professional, mother, and creator of Injecting Truth, to discuss vaccines, informed consent, medical freedom, package inserts, adverse event reporting systems, and the questions many families never realize to ask. After her son experienced a reaction following his two-month visit, Angela began researching for herself and quickly discovered a side of the conversation she says is rarely discussed inside traditional medical settings.  Together, they explore vaccine ingredients, aluminum exposure, informed consent, VAERS reporting, safety studies, chronic illness, childhood health, and why more parents are beginning to question the "safe and effective" narrative they've been told for years. Whether you agree, disagree, or are simply curious, this episode challenges listeners to think deeper, ask questions, and understand the importance of informed medical decisions.  In this episode: • What informed consent should actually look like  • Vaccine ingredients and package inserts  • Why VAERS reporting matters  • Concerns surrounding aluminum and other additives  • How adverse reactions are often dismissed  • Why more parents are questioning vaccines  • The importance of researching primary sources  • Medical freedom, autonomy, and advocacy  Sometimes the most important questions are the ones nobody told you to ask. ✴️ Connect with Angela on Facebook & Instagram      🔥 Own Your Wellness Revolution 🔥 Ready to ditch the status quo and reclaim your health?  Here's how to start: 🗓️ Snag a FREE 30-Minute Strategy Call Book your one-on-one with Autumn and map out your path to a stronger, freer you.  🌀 Shop Smarter, Live Cleaner Check out the 'Know Better | Do Better' Amazon Storefront for handpicked gear to fuel your healthy rebellion.  🛒 Grab the FREE Clean Swap Guide Download now and swap out the junk for healthier alternatives—no excuses.  📧  Join the 'Know Better | Do Better' Newsletter for exclusive guest drops, insider tips, and subscriber-only fire—hit subscribe!  🌟 Link Up with Autumn Stay in the loop and join the tribe:  Instagram  Facebook TikTok

    #157 When Medicine Becomes a Verdict | A Solo Cast on Symptoms, Labels, and Real Healing

    What if your symptoms aren't the problem? What if they're the proof your body is still working exactly the way God designed it to? In this solo episode, I challenge the idea that diagnoses define your future and explore how fear, labels, and compliance quietly reshape how we think about our bodies. Somewhere along the way, medicine stopped being a tool and started becoming a verdict. Your body isn't broken. It's communicating. And the moment a label becomes identity, captivity begins. If you've ever been told "this is just how it is now," this conversation may change how you see your health forever.
