In this powerful episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi speaks with Dr. Andrew Wakefield, a British gastroenterologist whose professional path shifted from respected medical researcher to one of the most controversial voices in vaccine safety. His early work at the Royal Free Hospital in London uncovered severe gastrointestinal issues in autistic children—conditions that had been largely ignored by mainstream medicine. By listening to parents and investigating the gut-brain connection, Dr. Wakefield found that treating gut inflammation could improve neurological symptoms, sparking a debate that would reshape his career.

Challenging medical orthodoxy came at a steep personal and professional cost. Dr. Wakefield faced widespread persecution, the loss of his medical license, and ultimately, exile from the traditional medical establishment. Determined to continue raising awareness, he transitioned to filmmaking, producing documentaries like Vaxxed to highlight what he describes as systemic flaws in vaccine research and medical reporting.

This candid conversation invites listeners to reflect on the meaning of true scientific integrity. Dr. Wakefield’s journey underscores the importance of putting patient health before professional reputation and raises pressing questions about how medicine approaches research, safety, and accountability in protecting public health.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Children with autism often had severe gut inflammation that was overlooked by doctors
• Treating gut health showed improvements in neurological symptoms
• Vaccine safety studies were inadequate, often conducted on institutionalized children without proper oversight
• Allegations of destroyed CDC data on vaccine risks raise questions about transparency
• New research suggests vaccinated children may face higher rates of chronic illness

BEST MOMENTS (direct quotes)

• “We have a professional and moral obligation to take that very, very seriously.”
• “They put themselves first. And it was very sad.”
• “There wasn’t one [proper controlled study]. What I found is that the early safety studies of these vaccines were conducted on children in institutions... without any regard to their health or well-being.”
• “If you don’t want to publish the truth, whether it supports your hypothesis or not, then you’re not a scientist. Get out of science.”

In this deeply revealing episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi sits down with Relationship Therapist and Life Coach Amy-Noelle Shih to explore the powerful truth that our bodies remember what our minds often forget.

Together, they dive into how emotional wounds, suppressed feelings, and even ancestral experiences live on in our cells and tissues—often manifesting as illness or dysfunction when ignored. Through honest storytelling and professional wisdom, Simone and Amy-Noelle illuminate the path of returning to the body, cultivating self-compassion, and reparenting the inner child as essential steps toward true healing.

Listeners are invited to question how much of their own suffering may be echoes of unprocessed emotions, and how learning to hear the body’s signals can unlock resilience, authenticity, and wholeness.

Whether you’re navigating personal trauma, seeking to reconnect with your body, or supporting someone on their healing journey, this episode is a powerful reminder that the body is not the enemy—it’s the guide.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The body holds memories and traumas long after the mind suppresses or forgets them
• Emotional suppression and self-abandonment often result in illness and dysregulation
• Escapism (work, food, gaming) is usually avoidance of discomfort
• Healing begins with listening to the body, not just the mind
• Reparenting the inner child with compassion restores authenticity and balance
• The body’s physical symptoms can be signals of unresolved emotional wounds

BEST MOMENTS

• “What if our cells remember what our minds forgot?”
• “The body just doesn’t lie. It carries what has been unprocessed.”
• “When we live outside of our body, our intuition is turned off.”
• “Every breakdown is really your body saying: see me, hear me, I can’t live this way.”
• “The body is an ally and should be met with compassion and love.”

With candor and clarity, Dr. Stillman challenges conventional narratives around women’s health, shedding light on how modern medicine often fails midlife women by overlooking root causes, emotional well-being, and lifestyle factors.

In this groundbreaking episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi sits down with Dr. Thomas Seyfried, a pioneering researcher and professor at Boston College, to challenge everything you think you know about cancer. Moving beyond the conventional genetic model, Dr. Seyfried presents compelling evidence that cancer is, in fact, a metabolic disease—a theory with powerful implications for prevention, treatment, and recovery.

Through science-backed insights and decades of research, Dr. Seyfried explores how cancer cells thrive on glucose and how therapeutic strategies like the ketogenic diet, fasting, and metabolic therapies can starve cancer at its root. Together, Simone and Dr. Seyfried uncover what this paradigm shift means for patients and practitioners alike—and why addressing mitochondrial health may be the missing piece in truly healing cancer.

This is an essential listen for anyone touched by cancer, seeking truth, or looking for hope beyond the mainstream narrative.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Cancer is not just a genetic disease—it’s primarily a metabolic disorder.
• Nutrition and metabolic therapy play a pivotal role in disrupting cancer growth.
• Ketosis and fasting can be powerful tools in targeting cancer’s fuel source.
• Mitochondrial dysfunction is at the heart of many chronic diseases, including cancer.
• Understanding the root cause of cancer changes how we approach healing.

BEST MOMENTS

•  “Cancer isn’t something you catch—it’s something your body can no longer control.”
•  “If you deprive cancer of its fuel, it can’t survive.”
•  “We have more power than we realize when it comes to preventing and treating cancer.”

In this episode, Simone welcomes Brandon Joe Williams, a legal expert and educator, who shares his insights on autonomy, freedom, and the often-overlooked laws that govern our lives. Brandon discusses his journey from a dental office worker to a thought leader in legal education, emphasizing the importance of understanding the definitions and implications of legal terms, particularly about driving and ownership. He elaborates on his book, "Don't Be a Slave to Your Clients," which advocates for setting boundaries in business and offers a unique approach to client education through free courses. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Once individuals learn how to effectively perform on negotiable instruments, the likelihood of being sued decreases significantly, although there may be restrictions on account usage or payment methods.

• The approach to selling and marketing can be transformed by creating valuable educational content, such as free courses, which can lead to higher client satisfaction and lower price resistance.

• The definitions of terms like "driver," "motor vehicle," and "operate" are crucial in legal contexts, particularly in traffic stops. Misunderstanding or assuming these definitions can lead to self-incrimination.

• Individuals have the right to remain silent and not provide information that could incriminate them. This right is essential in legal situations, especially during traffic stops.

• When individuals register their vehicles, they may unknowingly enter into a trust agreement with the state, which can complicate their perceived ownership and rights regarding the vehicle.

BEST MOMENTS

"The chances of them coming after you once you start performing differently on a negotiable instrument is very, very low."

"If you look on, let's say, for example, in California, if you look on the certificate of title, you'll see that your name is listed under a section called registered owner."

"The officer is the one who has to prove that claim. Now, I don't see any hope in hell unless a fucking receipt or something flew out the window."

"A lot of men don't even skim the surface of finding themselves, much less to try to understand the dance between the masculine and the feminine."

"If the police officer or anybody else decides they want to charge you, let's say, for example, for speeding... the officer is the one who has to prove that."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The argument presented claims that no one has ever definitively shown the existence of a virus, challenging the conventional understanding of viruses as causative agents of disease.

• The discussion emphasizes that the principle of contagion, which suggests that sick individuals can make healthy individuals sick, has been disproven through various studies. It is argued that shared symptoms among individuals do not necessarily indicate transmission from one to another.

• The process by which virologists claim to isolate and identify viruses is critiqued as flawed. The methods described involve using contaminated samples and various chemicals, which do not provide conclusive evidence of a virus's existence or its role in causing disease.

• The conversation promotes a holistic view of health, suggesting that symptoms and diseases are often the body's responses to environmental toxins, poor nutrition, or emotional stress, rather than the result of viral infections.

• There is a call for skepticism regarding mainstream medical narratives, particularly concerning vaccinations and the perceived dangers of viruses. The discussion encourages individuals to question established beliefs and seek alternative explanations for health and illness.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you follow that understanding, that reasoning, you come to the conclusion very easily that nobody has ever shown the existence of a virus."

"The thing that's really got my attention lately is we actually live in a profoundly scientifically illiterate culture."

"If you want to prove that it's caused by a bacteria, and it's transmissible between people, the way you have to do that is isolate the bacteria."

"You literally just dismantled the entire idea of what they've been pushing on us for since the beginning of medicine."

Simone engages in an enlightening conversation with Matt and Kara from Rise HRT, exploring the critical role of hormones in overall health. They explore the importance of functional medicine and how it differs from traditional approaches to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Matt shares his personal journey, highlighting the impact of family health issues on his career path, while Kara discusses her transition from corporate finance to functional health. Together, they emphasise the significance of addressing root causes of hormonal imbalances, such as gut health and stress, rather than merely treating symptoms. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Functional Medicine Approach: RISE HRT emphasises a functional medicine approach, focusing on identifying and addressing the root causes of hormonal imbalances rather than merely treating symptoms. This includes comprehensive blood work and lifestyle assessments to understand each patient's unique health situation.

2. Importance of Hormone Balance: Maintaining hormone levels within a natural range is crucial for overall health. Overdosing on hormones, particularly testosterone in women, can lead to adverse effects such as androgen dominance, which can cause conditions like PCOS and insulin resistance.

3. Personal Experiences Drive Passion: Both Matt and Kara share personal health journeys that motivated them to pursue functional medicine. Their experiences with hormonal issues and family health challenges have fueled their commitment to helping others achieve better health outcomes.

4. Risks of Traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy: Traditional hormone replacement therapies, such as pellet therapy, often involve administering high doses of hormones without proper monitoring, which can lead to imbalances and health risks. RISE HRT advocates for minimal effective dosing and regular follow-ups to adjust treatment as needed.

5. Role of Nutrition and Lifestyle: Nutrition and lifestyle factors play a significant role in hormone health. Chronic stress, poor diet, and lack of proper detoxification can exacerbate hormonal imbalances, highlighting the need for a holistic approach to health that includes dietary and lifestyle modifications alongside hormone therapy.

BEST MOMENTS

"The human body wasn't made for 2024. It was made thousands of years ago for caveman times." 

"We shouldn't be having women have this major fear of testosterone and estrogen because outside of things I mentioned, there's also bone and muscle degradation from lack of these hormones."

"I realised like no one knows this, like no one knows that managing their stress can prevent some of this very severe illness." 

"The number one thing that differentiates our facility from other facilities is the functional medicine aspect." 

"It's much easier to find a scapegoat like hormone therapy to put the blame on."

In this episode, Simone welcomes skincare expert Sylvia Winans to discuss the often-overlooked impact of natural plant oils on skin health and sun protection. Sylvia shares her inspiring journey, which began during her pregnancy when she sought holistic alternatives to chemical sunscreens. Through her research, she discovered the powerful photoprotective properties of various plant-derived compounds, leading to the creation of her innovative product, Quantum Pie. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Exposure to blue light from devices and artificial lighting can damage the skin by causing oxidative stress, affecting collagen and elastin, which are crucial for maintaining skin structure and elasticity.

• Plant-derived oils and compounds, such as carotenoids and astaxanthin, not only provide sun protection but also nourish the skin, enhance its defense mechanisms, and support cellular health, making them a holistic alternative to chemical sunscreens.

• The effectiveness of natural skincare products lies in the synergy of various phytochemicals. These compounds work together to regenerate each other and provide comprehensive protection and nourishment to the skin.

• Diets high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), commonly found in processed seed oils, can lead to chronic inflammation and deplete antioxidants in the body, increasing the risk of sunburn and skin damage.

• Emphasizing the body's natural processes, the development of products like Quantum Pie aligns with the philosophy of using nature's wisdom to protect and heal the skin, rather than relying on synthetic chemicals that may disrupt the body's functions.

BEST MOMENTS

"When we are exposed to these blue light devices, the light emitted from them is damaging our skin."

"Plants are really nature's experts in sun protection. They produce thousands of chemicals to support themselves and reduce sun damage."

"The difference between chemical sunscreens is that they only have this one function to stop the UVA or UVB rays from penetrating our skin."

"When we eat a diet rich in carotenoids, our bodies concentrate carotenoids in the most sun-exposed tissues."

"Chronic inflammation in the fat cells of your skin depletes the antioxidants in our blood."

In Simone's latest episode, Dr. Peter Glidden, a naturopathic powerhouse with over three decades of experience in holistic medicine, challenges the conventional medical approach by emphasizing the importance of treating the underlying causes of illness rather than just managing symptoms. He shares his unique perspective on health, discussing the body's innate ability to heal itself when given the right support.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Medical doctors often attribute diseases to genetics, but holistic practitioners like Dr. Glidden believe in addressing the underlying causes of illnesses rather than just managing symptoms.

• The body is viewed as being inhabited by an intelligent spiritual force in holistic medicine, which drives the body's self-healing mechanisms.

• Naturopathic medicine focuses on treating the individual rather than the disease, recognizing that each person may require a unique approach to healing.

• The medical monopoly and pharmaceutical industry prioritize profit over patient well-being, leading to the suppression of alternative treatments and natural remedies.

• Asking critical questions and seeking alternative perspectives when faced with a diagnosis, such as cancer, can empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health care.

BEST MOMENTS

"I could have identical triplets, right? Exactly the same genes, they live in exactly the same house, they eat exactly the same food, they're exposed to exactly the same stress, they all have asthma, and they're each going to need a different treatment in order to recover. Because, you know, they don't have asthma."

"Bobby Kennedy's saying, oh, we're going to stop having children eat processed foods, and that's going to help the childhood illness epidemic. Bullshit, it's not going to. That's not the reason that kids are getting sick."

"Saying that your illness is genetic is like saying, well, I know what causes tornadoes.  It's sunlight. You can't have a tornado without a cloud. You can't have a cloud without water vapor. You can't have water vapor without sunlight. So it's sunlight that causes tornadoes."

"The body is inhabited by an intelligent spiritual force which is running the show. Our bodies know how to fix themselves. They want to fix themselves. The body's trying to fix itself all the time, but it needs help. And this is also why the body decomposes after it dies. The spiritual force is no longer there."

In this latest episode, Simone interviews Dr. Robert Malone, a renowned virologist and immunologist, on the complexities of COVID-19 and the mRNA vaccines. Dr. Malone delves into the potential reproductive impacts of the vaccines, shedding light on the risks associated with genetic modifications in germline tissue. The episode explores the ethical considerations surrounding conception post-vaccination and the challenges of navigating genetic anomalies in reproductive health.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The mRNA vaccines may have an affinity for binding to ovarian tissue, potentially impacting the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and hormonal cycle variation.

• The DNA fragment contamination in mRNA vaccines poses a significant risk, as these fragments are recombinogenic and may interfere with genomic integrity, especially in germline tissue.

• Couples wishing to conceive post-vaccination may consider a period of abstinence or barrier contraceptive methods for a month to minimize potential risks of shedding on reproductive health.

• The complexity of genetic assessment and ethical considerations surrounding pregnancies post-vaccination require individualized discussions between patients and healthcare providers.

• The probability of added risk associated with mRNA vaccines in germinal tissue is modest compared to other factors contributing to genetic anomalies in reproductive health.

BEST MOMENTS

"As a virologist, I've isolated viruses, genetically manipulated viruses, transferred viruses, cultured viruses, titered viruses, titered viruses exist. There's viruses of plants, there's viruses of insects, there's viruses of bacteria, we call them bacteriophage, and viruses are ubiquitous in the world."

"You don't seem to see the rise in all-cause mortality until approximately the time when the vaccine products are starting to be deployed. And so the case is made by some that since you don't see that, there was not a pandemic."

"A form of psi-war was deployed on all of us, this safe and effective narrative. But once they decided that they were going to deploy this psychological manipulation strategy, this coordinated global effort, then they apparently came to the conclusion politically that it was necessary to suppress any voices and any information which would contradict that narrative."
