    ENCORE PRESENTATION - Priming the Amazon

    In this chock-full episode of Tapping into Uncomfortable, host Reade Hubert, DC, delves deep into the topic of self-appreciation and the astonishing capabilities of the human body. He highlights our remarkable physiological processes using red blood cell regeneration as an example to inspire listeners to recognize their uniqueness. He also uses his "4 T's Machine," designed and perfected at the Tapping Into Uncomfortable University's Auto Shop, to analyze recent topics discussed on the podcast. The 4 T's represent thoughts, toxins, trauma, and traits - key elements that influence our health according to his philosophy. The focus then shifts onto plastics – an omnipresent material in today’s world. Dr. Hubert discusses its prevalence and potential impact on human health through chemical toxicity and mechanical damage at microscopic levels. Despite these concerns, he shares some positive news about fungi and bacteria that can break down certain types of plastic. Reflecting back on his 'presidential swearing in' he emphasizes belief in personal improvement despite imperfections. He also raises awareness about how lifestyle factors like opioids and COVID-19 have affected life expectancy trends. A new intriguing question is posed to listeners: Will you be a victim of plastics? This leads into discussing the controversial introduction of Starlink internet service to an isolated Amazon tribe – raising questions about technology's role in modern society versus traditional cultures. Finally, Dr. Hubert challenges listeners with difficult questions regarding societal issues such as internet addiction, ultra-processed foods' harm, and environmental pollution from plastics - urging personal responsibility for one’s own well-being amidst external influences. Key Takeaways: Self-awareness is crucial; understand your unique physical marvel. The “4 T’s” (thoughts, toxins, trauma & traits) are central themes affecting our lives. Plastics pose significant health risks but also offer convenience; balance is needed. Technological advances can have both beneficial effects & unintended consequences. Listener Action Items: Reflect on what truly motivates you beyond negative stimuli. Consider how you might inadvertently become a victim of plastic usage in your daily life. Evaluate your relationship with technology following insights shared about the Amazon tribe's experience with Starlink internet access.

Plus, we take a hard look at the not-so-happy side of modern life: hidden "forever chemicals" in everyday items and how Gen Z is rewriting the rules of work-life balance in today’s America.

    21. Will that Be Cash...or Check?

    Welcome back to the cerebral frontlines in this latest episode of Tapping Into Uncomfortable—where intellect meets irreverence and curiosity punches comfort zones square in the Broca’s area. In this penultimate episode for the season, Dr. Hubert takes us from animal-bite weight loss skits to the very real science behind GLP-1 drugs. We learn how modern weight-loss meds found unlikely inspiration in reptilian chemistry—tracing it all back to the venomous Gila monster., only to ignite a pharmaceutical arms race and billion-dollar lawsuits with compound pharmacies. The episode then widens its lens to the absurd scale of American healthcare spending, asking: Why are we spending more and living worse than other wealthy nations? From private insurance pitfalls to venture capital’s takeover of medical clearinghouses, it’s a raw audit of a system that's more about cash and checks than care and cures. Also on the table: “prescriptionism”—a term coined to challenge our overreliance on pills over personal responsibility. What if healing came from the inside out, not from Big Pharma in? With one eye on biology and the other on belief systems, this episode boldly reframes what it means to be well. Key Takeaways: The origins of GLP-1 weight loss drugs lie in the venom of a desert lizard. U.S. healthcare spends more than Japan’s GDP annually—with questionable results. Venture capital’s role in healthcare billing adds profit layers to pain points. “Prescriptionism” critiques our over-dependence on medication over mindset. Plus, as we near the season finale before a much-needed fishing break, Dr. Hubert reflects on autonomy, imperfection, and why the next revolution in health might start within. Want to keep questioning the system? You're in the right place. www.tappingintouncomfortable.com

With over 100 trillion microbes living in our intestines, these microscopic helpers play a big role in how we digest food, fight off illness, and even feel mentally. Dr. Hubert explains how prebiotics (fiber), probiotics (good bacteria), and postbiotics (the leftovers they create) work together to support a healthy gut. You’ll also hear about how things like antibiotics can throw off this balance, and why it’s important to care for your gut the right way. From the basics of digestion to fascinating treatments like fecal transplants, this episode is full of easy-to-follow information that could change the way you think about your health. Tune in and discover how taking care of your microbiome can help you feel your best—inside and out. www.tappingintouncomfortable.com
