    168. Why Your Hormones Are Out of Balance (and How to Fix It)

    Send us a text Heavy periods, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility—so many women are told to mask symptoms or remove organs without ever getting a clear why. We invited Dr. Vaughn, a traditional naturopath, to unpack a different path: find the root, relieve the burden, and let the body restore rhythm. From teen cycles and the birth control reflex to menopause and progesterone support, we connect the dots between food, light, toxins, and liver health in a way that’s practical and hopeful. We get specific. Diet shifts do the heavy lifting: an 80 percent base of vegetables and fruit, seasonal eating, steady protein, and a firm break with refined sugar and seed oils can calm inflammation and reduce estrogen dominance. Morning sunlight in your eyes jump-starts hormone cascades, while blue light at night suppresses them. We talk testing that matters—Dutch for steroid hormones, urine and hair for BPA, glyphosate, mold, and metals—so you can stop guessing. Then we map a clear detox plan: far infrared sauna to mobilize, targeted binders to capture biotoxins and chemicals, and smart mineral support so you feel better, not worse. We also dig into local care that’s often ignored. Vaginal ecology can be nourished with probiotic support, antimicrobial herbs, and for some, ozone therapy or yoni steaming to improve circulation and tissue health. Surgery may remove lesions, but it won’t remove causes. That’s why we highlight liver methylation with sulforaphane-rich broccoli extracts, methylated B vitamins, and sulfur sources like MSM, plus the overlooked role of iron—beef liver capsules are a potent ally for estrogen clearance. When needed, progesterone can be a lifesaver in early pregnancy or menopause; used wisely, it supports the body while deeper imbalances are corrected. This conversation is equal parts story and strategy—real turnarounds from crippling cramps to quiet cycles, from long infertility to healthy pregnancies.

    167. Healing Fevers Naturally: What Every Parent Should Know About the Immune System God Designed

    Send us a text Most of us were taught to fear fevers and throw reducers at every spike. We take a different path: what if a fast fever is a sign of strength, and your job is to help the body finish what it started? With Dr. Vaughn, a traditional naturopath and iridologist, we break down how the immune system works from a design perspective and why gut health often decides who breezes through a bug and who crashes for a week. We dig into the practicals. You’ll learn a simple three-step approach to support fevers safely: move the bowels, open the skin with heat and steam, and cool the gut to slow fermentation at the source. We talk pain relief without derailing recovery, including when a short cold bath can quickly calm inflammation. Stomach bugs get their turn too—how short-term binders like activated charcoal or clay can help in a pinch, why you shouldn’t lean on them long term, and how castor oil can support a faster cleanout. Along the way we clarify terrain vs germ theory in plain language and explain why focusing on the terrain yields better outcomes for families. From daily habits to deeper root causes, we connect the dots. Fermented foods, fiber, and sunlight earn top billing for building resilient immunity. We touch on targeted support like blended immune formulas with vitamin C, zinc, and quercetin, plus medicinal mushrooms for intelligent modulation. For those stuck in a cycle of lingering illness, we outline how mold, Lyme, and reactivated Epstein-Barr can suppress the immune system and mute healthy fever responses, and why identifying and addressing those blocks restores hope. If you’re ready to swap fear for understanding and quick fixes for true support, this conversation gives you tools you can use tonight and habits that build resilience over time. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs immune clarity, and leave a review to tell us which takeaway helped your family most. Support the show Thank You for Joining Us!

    166. Understanding the Root Cause of Allergies: Seasonal, Food & God’s Design

    Send us a text Sneezing, itching, and watery eyes can feel like your body is betraying you. What if those symptoms are your built-in cleanup crew asking for less blockage and more flow? We dive into a practical, hope-filled approach to allergies that starts with one shift: stop muting the signal and start clearing the filters. We break down the crucial differences between seasonal and food allergies and show how to match the fix to the cause. For environmental triggers like pollen, pet dander, and dust, the focus is on the mucosal system and lymph flow—think clay binders to adsorb irritants, natural antihistamines that don’t shut down elimination, and targeted sinus care. We walk through an electric nasal irrigation method, a potent sinus spray, and an herbal steam formula that opens passages, breaks biofilm, and helps drain the head. Listeners are often shocked by how quickly breathing clears once the head is no longer congested. Food allergies are a different beast with a familiar root: gut integrity. When leaky gut lets undigested proteins—gluten, casein, peanut proteins—slip into circulation, the immune system keeps the alarm blaring. We share a step-by-step plan that pairs a colon cleanse with a parasite cleanse to reduce the microbial burden driving permeability. Then we add therapeutic enzymes taken on an empty stomach to break down old protein debris and calm reactions over time. Along the way, we offer safety guidance on anaphylaxis, pregnancy-friendly options like gentle colon and kidney support plus liver-safe teas, and practical tips to avoid common hidden triggers. If you’re tired of masking symptoms and want a path that restores your body’s design, this conversation gives you the toolkit: cleanse strategically, support drainage, heal the gut, and let the immune system stand down. Subscribe for more root-cause health insights, share this with someone who needs allergy relief, and leave a review to tell us which strategy made the biggest difference for you.

    165. Partnering with God for Biblical Healing: Returning to His Design for the Human Body

    Send us a text What if your symptoms aren’t mistakes, but messages? We sit down with Dr. Vaughn, a traditional naturopath and iridologist, to explore a faith-forward approach to health that treats the body as a temple and creation as a toolkit designed for healing. Instead of reaching first for suppression, we look at how sunlight, minerals, whole foods, and targeted herbs help the body do what it’s made to do—cleanse, repair, and restore. We unpack the crucial difference between forcing actions with pharmaceuticals and supporting function with nature. From blood pressure meds that override the body’s changing needs to herbs like milk thistle and dandelion that scale with your biology, we show why “God’s design versus man’s design” isn’t just theology; it’s practical physiology. Symptoms become signals—fever as an immune strategy, coughing as clearance, skin as an exit route—guiding us toward root causes rather than masking discomforts that later turn chronic. The conversation gets real on cravings, too. We talk parasites, blood sugar swings, and spiritual strongholds that keep us stuck in cycles of coffee, sweets, and late nights. You’ll hear how fasting, prayer, circadian light, and nutrient-dense foods can reset appetite and attention. We also dive into pregnancy and liver health, sharing stories and tools like safe herbal support and beef liver for B vitamins, and how gentle detox between pregnancies can transform morning sickness, energy, and overall resilience. If you’re ready to trade confusion for clarity, suppression for alignment, and quick fixes for sustainable healing, this episode offers a compassionate roadmap. Learn how to read your body’s signals, work with creation, and invite God into every step of your health journey.

    164. Healing Chronic Illness: God’s Design & Natural Medicine

    Send us a text What if the path to real healing starts with awe—at how you were designed—and the courage to ask why your body is speaking up? We sit down with Dr. Vaughn Lawrence, a traditional naturopath and iridologist, for a candid, faith-forward journey from corporate success and spiritual emptiness to founding Spirit of Health, a clinic built on education, empowerment, and the conviction that God still heals. Vaughn opens up about his redemption story, then moves straight into the heart of root-cause care. Instead of chasing labels, he looks for the terrain: parasites, mold toxicity, Lyme and co-infections, heavy metals, and chemicals that suppress immunity and inflame tissues. You’ll hear a striking case of a young mother whose “mystery illness” turned out to be extreme mold exposure—and how targeted cleansing, diet strategy, and persistence rebuilt her life. For parents navigating eczema, brain fog, or stubborn gut issues, Vaughn explains why gentle parasite cleanses can transform kids’ skin and sleep when standard approaches stall. We also cover iridology—how the iris can reflect constitutional patterns, congestion, and even generational tendencies. It’s not mysticism; it’s a non-invasive tool that complements smart testing and a biblical view of the body. Vaughn shares his clinic’s vision and creed: Jesus as the source of life and healing, the body’s God-given capacity to repair, and the role of herbs and natural therapies aligned with creation’s design. Pain becomes an indicator rather than a target to silence. The home becomes the first clinic, where families learn to steward their health with wisdom, resilience, and hope. If you’re ready to move beyond symptom management into purposeful, faith-led medicine—with practical steps for detox, testing, and rebuilding—this conversation will give you clarity and courage.

    163. Rockefeller, Pharmakeia & the Rise of Modern Medicine: How Deception Shaped Healthcare

    Send us a text What if the modern medical system didn’t just evolve—it was engineered? We follow the money from oil refineries to lecture halls to see how Rockefeller-era funding, petrochemicals, and media campaigns reshaped Western medicine into a streamlined business. Along the way, we connect the serpent-and-staff imagery to a larger theme: commerce entwined with care, profits guiding the path from medical school curricula to the ads filling our screens. We unpack the Flexner Report and how it standardized education around allopathic methods while sidelining diet, herbs, and holistic approaches that once had significant footing in the United States. That shift didn’t happen in a vacuum; it coincided with synthetic vitamins, lab-made compounds, and a patent model that rewarded drugs and procedures over prevention. We get candid about cancer care guardrails, why “a pill for an ill” became cultural default, and how direct-to-consumer advertising built markets by turning symptoms into sales funnels. The result: world-leading costs, middling outcomes, and a persistent cycle of side effects that demand more prescriptions. This is also a conversation about agency and faith. We share practical reflections on stepping back from routine medications when safe and appropriate, working with practitioners who understand nutrition and root-cause healing, and asking better questions at the point of care. The goal isn’t to reject emergency medicine or lifesaving treatments—it’s to reclaim a vision of health that restores, not just suppresses. If you’re ready to examine the incentives beneath the white coat and pursue a more integrated path to healing, press play and join the mission.

  7. 162. Medical Symbols Exposed: Pharmakeia, Serpent Worship & the Roots of Modern Medicine

    162. Medical Symbols Exposed: Pharmakeia, Serpent Worship & the Roots of Modern Medicine

    Send us a text What if the most familiar symbols in healthcare point to a story far older—and more spiritual—than we realize? We open the vault on pharmakeia, tracing a line from Greek temples and serpent emblems to today’s medical branding, and ask what those roots mean for followers of Jesus navigating modern care. This isn’t a takedown of doctors or a denial of emergency medicine. It’s an invitation to discernment: learn the history, weigh the language, and test the spirits behind the practices that promise healing but can foster dependence. We unpack the caduceus and the staff of Asclepius, meet Hygieia and Panacea, and consider why serpents show up across ancient cultures. With Genesis 6 as a guide, we explore how myths about “gods” may reflect the Nephilim narrative, adding depth to the Bible’s warnings about sorcery and deception. Along the way, we name the conditioning that trains us to mute symptoms and move on—when pain might be a God-given signal to find the root cause. Instead of fear, we advocate a God-centered approach to health: prayer, wise counsel, lifestyle stewardship, and careful use of tools that align with design. You’ll also hear about upcoming conversations with practitioners who champion partnering with God for health and a preview of where we’re headed next: Western medicine’s industrial pivot and how funding, research, and incentives reshaped the marketplace. The aim is clarity, not cynicism; hope, not hype. We honor the good within medicine while shining light on the stories behind its symbols.

  8. 161. Pharmakeia in the Bible: Sorcery, Medicine, and Modern Deception

    10/21/2025

    161. Pharmakeia in the Bible: Sorcery, Medicine, and Modern Deception

    Send us a text What if a single word could change how you think about medicine, choice, and the body? We take a hard look at pharmacia—the term translated as sorcery in Scripture—and follow its trail into our modern world of pharmacies, prescriptions, and promises of consequence-free living. Without offering medical advice, we unpack research, history, and our own experiences to ask better questions about intent, impact, and the line between healing and control. We explore where pharmakia appears in Galatians and Revelation, what the Greek and Latin roots suggest about drugs, poisons, and enchantments, and how the Book of Enoch’s picture of the Watchers teaching “the cutting of roots” informs the moral tension around knowledge without wisdom. From there, we trace the cultural shift that makes quick fixes feel normal: direct-to-consumer drug ads, influencer endorsements, and a consent process that often feels more like marketing than meaningful choice. In that light, symptoms like headaches or fevers become signals to respect, not simply mute. We also examine hormonal birth control through the lens of design and discernment, contrasting it with fertility awareness methods that cooperate with the body. The goal isn’t to shame choices but to elevate informed consent, root-cause thinking, and faith-led decision-making. We talk about risk trade-offs, how fear of death shapes our health choices, and why prayer, research, and humility can bring peace even when answers are messy. If you’ve ever wondered where medicine serves us and where it steers us, this conversation will meet you with curiosity and courage. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help more seekers find the show. Then tell us: what’s one health habit you’re ready to question this week?
