74: The Truth About Raw Milk

Shop my all-natural skincare products at Arvoti.com [https://arvoti.com]. The version of milk most people grew up with is not the version nature made, and the difference matters more than people think. I've been drinking raw milk for five or six years, starting with a weekly drop-off from a farm four hours away, then driving 90 minutes each week to get it, then raising my own Jersey cow, and now milking my own dairy goats and sheep. Most people only know the gallon jug version of milk. Standardized. Pasteurized. Homogenized. Fortified. They've never watched cream rise on its own. They've never tasted milk from an animal foraging on pasture. They've never questioned why the cream gets stripped out and sold back to them as ice cream, while the milk gets refortified with synthetic vitamins. In this episode, I go over what raw milk contains, what processing does to it, and how I grew up drinking skim milk during a generation now dealing with skyrocketing hormone issues. If anyone has ever pushed back on you about raw milk, this is the episode that helps you stand your ground.

73: Sunscreen is a Psyop, Here's Why

Shop my all-natural skincare products at Arvoti.com [https://arvoti.com]. Are you sure sunscreen is the go-to solution for your body during the summer? The sunscreen conversation has become so loud that most people never stop to ask what's actually happening to their skin in the summer. I think we've been pointing at the wrong target for years. A couple of years ago, my research into sunscreen ingredients got me censored on social media and called a liar by a major outlet that later had to retract it. That experience pushed me further into a topic the system clearly doesn't want questioned. Sunscreen is one small piece. Your skin is also responding to heat, sweat, chlorine, smoke, air conditioning, the seed oils in your diet, the LEDs in every room you walk into, and hours of blue light from screens before bed. I want to talk about what your skin is actually asking for during the hottest months, why a damaged barrier often looks oily instead of dry, and what I changed in my own diet and home lighting that made the biggest difference. The answer was never another product. You’ll Learn: [0:00] Introduction [3:00] Getting called a liar and banned from social media over sunscreen research [5:28] Why your skin's relationship with the sun goes way beyond sunscreen [7:40] The dehydration trap most people fall into during summer [9:45] Damaged skin barriers don't always look dry, and the cycle that makes it worse [13:21] Why two people in the same sun can have completely different experiences [14:52] How giving up seed oils changed my sunburn response [16:04] Artificial light may be doing more damage to your skin than sunlight does [24:05] Coming back into your body and tuning into what your skin is asking for Related Gubba Homestead Episodes: Why I Don’t Wear Sunscreen [https://gubbahomestead.com/podcast/why-i-dont-wear-sunscreen/] Resources Mentioned: Arvoti Sun Care Blend Tallow Balm | Shop [https://arvoti.com/products/sun-care-blend-tallow-balm?variant=44959874416801] Arvoti Rose Revive Toning Mist | Shop [https://arvoti.com/products/rose-revive-toning-mist?variant=44901896454305] Find more from Gubba: Gubba Homestead | X [https://x.com/GubbaHomestead] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/GubbaHomestead/] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/gubbahomestead/] | Pinterest [https://ca.pinterest.com/GubbaHomestead/] | Website [https://gubbahomestead.com/] Gubba Homestead Products | Shop [https://shop.gubbahomestead.com]

72: 11 Easy Things You Can Do Today to Start Homesteading (From Anywhere)

Shop my all-natural skincare products at Arvoti.com [https://arvoti.com]. Starting the homestead lifestyle is easier than most people think. Somewhere along the way, we got sold the idea that homesteading requires acres of land, a farmhouse, and cows at sunrise. It doesn't. The version most people never hear about starts in a kitchen, with a mason jar and a bag of scraps you were going to throw away. So many of us feel a pull toward a slower way of living right now, and there are real reasons behind it. Grocery prices keep climbing. Empty shelves still sit fresh in our memory. Ingredient labels read like a chemistry experiment. The systems we depend on feel more fragile than we were told they were. The skills I started with are small and practical. Homemade broth easily comes together from kitchen scraps. Sprouts grow on a countertop. Sourdough, fermentation, freezer jam, canning, homemade cleaners, and beeswax candles all fit into a normal week. A rotating pantry gradually builds itself two items at a time. None of it requires perfection. None of it requires land. It only requires starting. You’ll Learn: [0:00] Introduction [3:58] How the system profits when you stop cooking from scratch [5:53] Turning kitchen scraps into nutrient-dense broth for pennies on the dollar [8:14] Growing sprouts on your countertop with just a Mason jar [10:05] Why store-bought bread tastes like chemicals once you bake your own [13:21] Sauerkraut, slowness, and the forgotten power of fermentation [14:56] Freezer jam, rhubarb pink lemonade, and why canning brings peace, not fear [20:09] Homemade citrus vinegar cleaner and beeswax candles that double as prep [22:13] Remembering the masked Walmart arrows and never being caught unprepared again [26:33] Why the people coming to take your preps won't make it up the driveway [28:49] Four generations lost these skills, but yours is taking them back Resources Mentioned: How To Use A Sourdough Starter | Article [https://gubbahomestead.com/recipes/how-to-use-a-sourdough-starter/] Homemade Sourdough Dinner Rolls | Recipe [https://gubbahomestead.com/recipes/homemade-sourdough-dinner-rolls/] Chocolaty Sourdough Brownies | Recipe [https://gubbahomestead.com/uncategorized/chocolaty-sourdough-brownies/] Join my Homestead Prepper's Guide to Canning Course [https://shop.gubbahomestead.com/collections/digital-bundles/products/the-homestead-preppers-guide-to-canning] to learn how to start canning today!

71: The Tick Conspiracy: New Diseases, Government's Research & The Role of Bill Gates

Shop my all-natural skincare products at Arvoti.com [http://arvoti.com]. Why has the tick population increased so much lately? And what does it have to do with diseases like Alpha-gal syndrome? I keep getting messages asking what I do about ticks on my homestead, and the more I look into this topic, the stranger it gets. Farmers say tick pressure is worse than they've ever seen. Hunters are pulling shocking numbers off of deer. Families find them on their kids after a few minutes outside. Let's dive into why this feels different now, and why I don't think we're getting the full story. In this episode, I cover the Cold War-era research on ticks and other insects as vectors, the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, the 2019 Congressional amendment asking the Pentagon to investigate biological weapons used between 1950 and 1975, and the Gates Foundation funding cattle tick research. Then I share the practical side. Chickens, guinea fowl, land management, a simple essential oil deterrent spray recipe, and the daily habits that keep my homestead in balance without DEET. You’ll Learn: [0:00] Introduction [3:27] Why farmers, hunters, and families are all saying this tick year feels different [4:58] What Alpha-gal syndrome actually does to the body after a single tick bite [7:03] Cold War insect research and why the government studied ticks as vectors [9:19] The Plum Island connection and the 2019 Pentagon bioweapons amendment [12:12] Why Bill Gates funding cattle tick research while pushing fake meat doesn't add up [13:48] How disturbed ecosystems and modern toxic load created the perfect tick storm [18:31] Why chickens, guinea fowl, and land management beat any store-bought solution [20:50] The homemade essential oil spray that replaces toxic DEET repellents [27:18] Why two people bitten by the same tick can have completely different outcomes Related Gubba Homestead Episodes: Natural Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs: The Terrain Approach Without Toxic Pesticides [https://gubbahomestead.com/podcast/natural-flea-and-tick-prevention-for-dogs-the-terrain-approach-without-toxic-pesticides/] Resources Mentioned: Plum Island Animal Disease Center | Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plum_Island_Animal_Disease_Center] Cattle tick vaccine researchers join forces in CATVAC by Schetters, Theo et al. | Article [https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4766707/] The Light Bulb Lie: Why They Banned Incandescent Bulbs (And What They Replaced Them With) by Gubba | Article [https://gubbahomestead.com/homesteading/the-light-bulb-lie-why-they-banned-incandescent-bulbs-and-what-they-replaced-them-with/] Find more from Gubba: Gubba Homestead | X [https://x.com/GubbaHomestead] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/GubbaHomestead/] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/gubbahomestead/] | Pinterest [https://ca.pinterest.com/GubbaHomestead/] | Website [https://gubbahomestead.com/] Gubba Homestead Products | Shop [https://shop.gubbahomestead.com]

70: The Hidden Costs of AI Everyone Is Ignoring

Shop my all-natural skincare products at Arvoti.com [http://arvoti.com]. The more I tested what AI would and wouldn't answer, the more I realized something was being shaped on the other end of every question. Artificial intelligence has woven itself into daily life so subtly that almost nobody stops to ask what they're actually paying with. I started testing the limits of what these systems will answer, and the patterns I noticed shifted how I think about every interaction. Certain narratives get pushed, while others get blocked entirely. Have you noticed that the way people write online is starting to sound eerily similar? Then there's the data centers… Two thousand acres at a time, humming next to neighborhoods where wells are running dry and people are getting sick. The official story is that AI needs the power. I'm not convinced that's the whole story. If thoughts and emotions generate energy, and attention directs it, then billions of people engaging with the same system every day isn't just data collection. It's something else. You’ll Learn: [00:00] Introduction [03:06] The real cost of free AI, and why no one's talking about it [06:15] AI responses are controlled, and the narratives they push reveal something darker [07:40] The shadow surveillance theory: systems built to read thought before it's typed [09:20] The biofield theory and what AI might actually be taking from you [11:58] Billions of people focusing on AI daily isn't just data input, it's an energy transfer [14:29] Data centers may be bridging human consciousness to something we can't see [16:08] Is AI just a giant Ouija board channeling something from beyond? [20:04] AI is flattening individual voices into one collective sound [25:36] You can't use AI and come out unscathed; the most important thing is to be aware Find more from Gubba: Gubba Homestead | X [https://x.com/GubbaHomestead] Gubba Homestead | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/GubbaHomestead/] Gubba Homestead | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/gubbahomestead/] Gubba Homestead | Pinterest [https://ca.pinterest.com/GubbaHomestead/] Gubba Homestead | Website [https://gubbahomestead.com/] Gubba Homestead Products | Shop [https://shop.gubbahomestead.com]
