The Seed Oil Problem with Cherie Calbom

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2102421/fan_mail/new] Seed oils don’t just show up in your frying pan, they show up in the “healthy” stuff too. Host Joe Grumbine sits down with nutritionist and author Cherie Calbom (The Truth About Seed Oils) to trace how industrial cooking oils became a staple of the modern diet and why so many people now suspect they’re driving inflammation, cravings, and chronic health issues. We walk through the origin story: cottonseed oil and wartime industry, the rise of “vegetable oil” branding, and the moment heart disease surged and saturated fat took the blame. Sherry explains why the cholesterol narrative stuck for decades, how low-fat food culture helped fuel more sugar intake and rising obesity, and why it’s so easy to confuse correlation with causation when you’re looking at health headlines. Then we get practical. Sherry breaks down which oils are considered seed oils (soy, corn, canola, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, cottonseed, rice bran, peanut), why processing methods matter (high heat and chemical extraction), and what to use instead based on smoke point and flavor. We also talk omega-6 vs omega-3 balance, simple grocery-store label checks, and easy swaps like choosing olive oil or avocado oil based dressings and snacks, plus cooking more at home so you control the ingredients. If you want a clear, doable plan for healthier fats without perfectionism, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves reading labels, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Your Words Shape Your Life When You Believe with Bishop Socrates Charos

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2102421/fan_mail/new] A Greek American immigrant becomes a Hollywood talent scout, then hears a call that flips his life in a completely different direction. We’re joined by Bishop Socrates Charos, founder of Church of All Nations in Clearwater, Florida, for a fast-moving conversation that blends personal story, Christian faith, and an intense focus on healing, joy, and the power of spoken words. We talk through Socrates’ path from engineering to entertainment, what he says changed when he stepped into ministry, and why he keeps repeating a simple idea: “I don’t know what I’m doing” but I’m willing to serve. He shares bold testimonies and beliefs about spiritual healing through prayer, the authority he associates with the name of Jesus, and why he thinks people overcomplicate what faith is supposed to look like. You’ll also hear us dig into the emotional side of healthy living: how constant negativity and complaining can become a trap, and how choosing love, joy, and peace can reshape the way you experience your day. The conversation opens up even wider when we connect healing to the outdoors. We discuss gardens as sanctuary spaces, nature as a restorative practice, and the heartbreak of habitat loss when development pushes animals out. If you care about holistic health, mindset, spiritual wellness, and how community choices affect mental health and the environment, you’ll find plenty to wrestle with here.

Natural Remedies And Community Care Can Change Lives with Nita Watson

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2102421/fan_mail/new] A garden can do what four walls never will. We sit down with Nita Watson to share the real story behind a Health and Wellness Day we’re building at the Gardens of Hope in the Inland Empire and why “restoration for mind, body, and spirit” is more than a slogan when you can feel nature working on your nervous system in real time. If you care about holistic health, community wellness, and practical healing tools, this conversation lays out what we’re creating and how you can plug in.  Nita also takes us through her mission-driven work, including the Free Indeed Reentry Project and the impact of helping people clear past records through expungement and dismissal. We talk about how justice, stability, and health are connected, and why coalition-building matters when a community is trying to climb out of stress, chronic illness, and systems that profit from keeping people stuck.  From there, we get into cannabis wellness and clean skin care in a way that stays grounded. Nita shares why she relies on Willow Creek Springs CBD products day to day, and we unpack the difference between masking symptoms and supporting the body’s natural balance. We also preview a new white label product line through Black Gold Urban Grow Hemp Care Consulting, designed with melanated skin in mind, plus why reading ingredient labels matters when so many “beauty” products are packed with petroleum-based fillers and harsh additives.  If this resonates, subscribe so you don’t miss the monthly updates leading into the October event, share this with a friend who needs better options, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.

Why Do We Guess At Chemo When We Can Test with Dr Robert Hoffman

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2102421/fan_mail/new] What if the next meaningful step in cancer care is not another buzzword, but a simple shift toward better testing and smarter nutrient control? Joe Grumbine sits down with Dr. Robert Hoffman for a candid, science-first conversation about keeping cancer in check by targeting what tumors need to grow, and why patients often have to push the system to get the most rational options. We start with cancer metabolism and methionine dependence, including the low methionine diet and the methioninase enzyme approach. Then we dig into a mind-bending possibility: using the gut microbiome like a factory by inoculating it with bacteria that produce methioninase. Dr. Hoffman explains the research using E. coli strains that can generate active methioninase in the digestive tract, what “tumor targeting bacteria” means, and why defanged Salmonella and oral delivery raise big questions about safety, regulation, and real-world feasibility. From there, we tackle personalized cancer treatment the way hospitals already handle infections: culture and sensitivity testing. Dr. Hoffman walks through decades of chemosensitivity testing history and the practical promise of 3D tumor culture methods like the histoculture drug response assay (HDRA). We also confront the uncomfortable reasons these tools are not widespread, including guidelines, incentives, workflow friction, and how tumor boards can devolve into guessing when time is short. If you care about precision oncology that actually earns the word “precision,” this one is for you.

From Rocket Science To Regenerative Skin Care With Food Grade Botanicals

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2102421/fan_mail/new] A broken bottle of luxury skin care that eats through carpet. A beloved horse with a frisbee-sized wound that’s “supposed” to end in euthanasia. Two founders who refuse to accept that harsh chemicals and empty promises are just the price of looking good. That’s where our conversation with Natalie Novak and Ron Webb begins, and it quickly turns into a deep dive on regenerative skincare, topical nutrient signaling, and why your skin deserves the same respect you give the rest of your body.  Natalie shares the moment she started questioning cosmetic ingredients, regulation, and hormone-mimicking chemicals, then how her path through aesthetics, massage therapy, and farm-made formulations shaped her standards for non-toxic, organic, food grade body care. Ron brings a rare lens from aerospace engineering and plant drug research, explaining how improving bioavailability and identifying what’s actually inside botanical extracts can change outcomes, not just marketing language. We also dig into hydration storage, glycosaminoglycans like hyaluronic acid, and why “plumping” is not the same as real skin support.  We go beyond the face into fascia, cellulite, lymphatic drainage, scarring, eczema, and chronic discomfort patterns that may be tied to restricted tissue. You’ll hear why KPS Essentials is showing up in med spas and functional medicine offices, how practitioner education is shaping their next steps, and the closing message we can’t stop thinking about: your thoughts can make you sick or help you heal.  If you value clean beauty that actually performs, wildcrafted botanical skincare, and science-forward skin health, listen now, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.
