New Episode: 2024 Recap—Highlights from Healthy & Awake Podcast [Ep. 65]

This special recap episode was an absolute blast to put together. We had an incredible lineup of guests in 2024, each bringing their own expertise and insights, and I can’t wait for you to revisit—or discover—their powerful moments. If you’re new to the show or you’ve missed a few episodes, this is your chance to catch up on the best of the best. You won’t believe the caliber of guests we had, covering everything from critical health issues to game-changing wellness strategies.

Tune in to hear highlights from these incredible guests:

• Dr. Suneel Dhand MD [Ep. 44] Challenges the trust we place in mainstream health authorities and media, urging everyone to stay skeptical and do their own research.
• Dr. David Gruder, PhD, DCEP [Ep. 39] Highlights how post–1950s consumerism redefined the “American Dream,” leading to overwork, debt, and a loss of personal freedom.
• Dr. Peter McCullough, MD, MPH [Ep. 38 & 51] Raises ethical concerns over coercive medical practices (referencing historical codes) and warns that current bird flu fears are exaggerated and mismanaged.
• Dr. John Catanzaro [Ep. 55] Discusses using precision peptides to neutralize spike protein damage and restore tissue—especially relevant for long-term COVID-related health issues.
• Dr. Rachel Maurice [Ep. 42] Explains anesthesia safety, genetic risks like malignant hyperthermia, and why extensive training is crucial for handling complications.
• Dr. Judith Curry [Ep. 43] Questions climate alarmism and calls out hypocrisy among high-profile activists, suggesting a more balanced perspective on environmental issues.
• Dr. Stella Immanuel [Ep. 46] Explores how hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and zinc can inhibit viral replication, stressing their antiviral potency and long history of use.
• Sergeant Boone Cutler [Ep. 47] Warns about AI-driven psychological manipulation and encourages real-world community building (potlucks, offline gatherings) to stay mentally resilient.
• Dr. Martin Moore-Ede [Ep. 50] Reveals how “junk light” disrupts circadian rhythms, comparing it to junk food, and advocates healthier lighting for improved long-term health.
• Dr. Jack Kruse [Ep. 49] Critiques flawed medical research relying on artificial UV light and non-human models, emphasizing full-spectrum sunlight’s importance for human health.
• Erwan Le Corre [Ep. 52] Explains how breathwork can either energize or calm, depending on individual needs, while highlighting the deeper skill of self-regulating the mind.
• Dr. Charles Glassman, MD [Ep. 53] Urges mindful communication instead of reacting from fight-or-flight, offering practical ways to stay assertive without becoming aggressive.
• Clay Clark [Ep. 54] Links AI development to a potential “digital dictatorship,” arguing it fast-tracks universal basic income (UBI) and a globalist ‘Great Reset’ agenda.
• Dr. Shawn Baker, M.D. [Ep. 57] Rebuts the idea that red meat causes cancer, emphasizing the flawed studies behind it and touting carnivore diets for metabolic health benefits.
• Dr. Joel Kahn, MD, FACC [Ep. 60] Promotes therapeutic fasting (e.g., the ProLon program) for cellular renewal and emphasizes its broad health benefits across any diet.
• Dr. David Healy [Ep. 59] Reveals how ghostwritten studies and regulatory capture erode trust in big pharma, urging caution when assessing medication safety.
• Dr. Michael Arloski [Ep. 58] Uses the “wading in the lake” analogy to show how coaches can explore client emotions safely without crossing into therapy territory.

It’s truly a can’t-miss highlight reel of 2024—and the perfect way to jump into 2025 informed, inspired, and ready to take action.

Next Episode: The Upcoming Bird Flu Pandemic

I recently interviewed Nicolas Hulscher, MPH , an epidemiologist and lead researcher at the McCullough Foundation. You may have seen in the news that California announced a state of emergency because of bird flu, and many suspect this could mean a return to lockdowns and mask mandates. You might recall that in a previous episode with Dr. Peter McCullough, he warned about this “bird flu push” months ago—there’s actually a clip in the highlights episode I shared earlier where McCullough discusses Hulscher’s work. So, I wanted to reach out and get the facts first-hand. What’s the real danger? Where did it come from? Should we be worried? What can we do? This episode will help you prepare for what’s coming this year.
