What modern obstetrics often forgets is that we are mammals—with innate birthing instincts honed over tens of thousands of years. When we allow that system to unfold, it’s nearly perfect.
In this episode, Eyla Cuenca, founder of Uncovering Birth, invites us to remember these “new old ways” of self-sovereignty and embodied knowing. Drawing from her background in anthropology, ethnographic photography, and years as a doula and birth trauma specialist, Eyla helps us reconnect to the deep intelligence woven through conception, birth, and beyond.
Join us for a conversation that reawakens trust in the body’s design and explores how reclaiming our primal instincts can transform not just birth—but our entire approach to life.

Allergies are permanent, right? That's what I thought before I used Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET).
NAET is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to eliminating allergies of all types. It combines methods like applied kinesiology (muscle testing), acupuncture, acupressure, and nutritional disciplines to identify and treat energy blockages caused by allergens.
NAET is used for a variety of conditions, including food allergies, environmental allergies, and symptoms like chronic sinusitis, asthma, and fatigue. In fact, it can help heal MANY conditions as you will learn in this fascinating interview with Dr. Nambudripad.
Dr. Roy Nambudripad is a distinguished UC Irvine Medical School alumnus and pathologist and a leading figure in holistic healthcare. Dr. Nambudripad has trained thousands of healthcare professionals globally, significantly advancing the practice of NAET. In this episode we discuss how this process works. Dr. Nambudripad’s dedication to excellence in patient care and his innovative approach continue to inspire the medical community and enhance the lives of many.

Frank Forencich, acclaimed author on evolutionary biology, ecology, and movement, joins me to discuss his latest book "Honor The Animal: Experiential Design for Teachers, Coaches, Trainers, Therapists, Parents, and Health Professionals."
In this conversation, Frank confronts the mounting ecological and social storms that are pushing human stress to new extremes. His message is urgent: to survive and thrive, we must invent new cultures, new ideas, and new ways of living—radically, ferociously, and relentlessly creative.
More importantly, he shares practical strategies to help us train for resilience. By designing deeply human experiences for students, clients, patients, and athletes, we can equip people to meet intimidating challenges with strength, relevance, and equanimity in a high-stress.

Bechamp and Pasteur were rival scientists who disagreed about the nature of health.
Louis Pasteur's most significant contributions to modern medicine include his development of the germ theory of disease, the process of pasteurization, and the creation of vaccines for rabies and anthrax. These breakthroughs revolutionized disease prevention and treatment and laid the foundation for modern immunology.
Bechamp is best known for terrain theory, much more akin to the microbiome theories of health that have gained an increasing amount of traction in current years. He essentially understood the balance of and the importance of the environments we create with foods that our internal systems either support or don't support disease. Béchamp challenged Pasteur's germ theory, arguing that bacteria do not cause disease independently but rather emerge from the breakdown of host tissue under unfavorable conditions.
In this short episode, Deb touches upon how she stumbled across the work of this very under-represented scientific pioneer, and how we can have more agency by including his point of view as part of our design thinking.
Author Brian Costello shares about tools he has consistently found to help restore our natural vitality and feeling of belonging.
Our conversation flows around the concept of "Do Less First". Brian reminds us over and over that just by protecting our time, space and energy, we can restore our physical health, intuition, our sense of the sacred, and the wonder of it all
Brian also facilitates safe and transformative plant medicine ceremonies. He distinguishes between recreational, intentional, and ceremonial plant medicine experiences.
Brian is the author of "The Primordial Code"- a fictional novel that reminds us over and over that everything we need is already here!

Thermography exposes sensitive breast tissue to 1/1000th the amount of radiation that traditional mammography does. Not only is it safer and cheaper, it identifies inflammation in various parts of the body that are critical for building a systemic and preventative approach to resolving or avoiding chronic diseases like cancer and metabolic diseases.
In host Deb Voisin’s case, starting at age 26, doctors always prescribed expensive, frequent, and often false positive mammography scans because her breasts were lumpy and her mom had breast cancer. Fortunately, she eventually discovered thermography and Debby De Martini! This game changing approach showed that her lumpy breasts were FINE but found a cracked tooth and early thyroid issues not yet showing up on traditional medical tests!
Debby DeMartini is a licensed thermographer and in our interview shares how thermography can help anyone with a body build a more accurate map towards building lasting health.
Debby sees patients in Santa Cruz, California and in Texas. Her websites is debby@thermalsc.com and you can reach her at debby@thermalsc.com. If you don’t live in those areas, you can also look up other practitioners at thermologyonline.org.
Deb was shocked at the relief for head injuries and birth trauma that Cindy Bacon, a very experienced craniosacral therapist, was able to help facilitate for members of her family.
In this episode, Cindy shares how this therapy helped her recover from a traumatic brain injury and other experiences as a midwife and home-birth specialist that motivated her to practice this method.
Craniosacral therapy focuses on the bones, membranes, and fluid of the head, neck, and spine (craniosacral system). Practitioners work with the natural, rhythmic movement that can be disrupted by stress, trauma, or disease and aim to restore this rhythm by gently manipulating the bones, membranes, and fluid of the system.
Cindy Bacon is in the Santa Cruz, California area and can be reached at US 831.462.6575.
