As you will hear Professor Seyfried has been extensively researching and conduiting trials with how Keto and Fasting can be a tool against many diseases, and his research and studies are showing exceptional results.
Professor Seyfried explains that cancer is not a genetic disease, but rather a metabolic disease involving mitochondrial dysfunction.
We will also go into the challenges of trying to explain his findings to many other doctors and researchers and other medical associations who fear to look outside of their own environment or existing body of knowledge.
They say nothing good comes without change and often change is first met with resistance and this story goes right into that process.

The Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023.

On this episode podcast, Im joined by Ip Attorney Chris Baxter who’s twitter account went viral after he read the bill and sent out several tweets explaining his disbelief in just how authoritarian and overreaching this bill is.

We bump into Welsh Author Cal Heath to talk about stoicism, how and when to introduce stoic values to our children.
Stoicism originated in ancient Greece around the 3rd Century BC and was later adopted by the Romans.
Among other things, it teaches that individuals should focus on what they can control and accept what they cannot. The philosophy also emphasizes the development of self-control and fortitude as a means of managing emotions and the importance of virtue.
This philosophy has influenced many areas of modern life, including psychology, cognitive behavioural therapy, and business management.
In this episode, we'll explore how we can teach children about the key tenets of stoicism, and how they can apply its teachings to their daily lives.
My guest for this episode is Cal Heath. Cal has written articles for Soticare and Modern stoicism around how and when to teach your children about Stoic principles.
So sit back, and let's dive into the world of stoicism and how jumping on board early might help our children develop a skillset to navigate the challenges of modern life.

We'll be exploring the controversial theory that Adolf Hitler, one of the most notorious figures in history, escaped to Argentina after the end of World War II with Researcher and Author Harry Cooper.
According to this theory, Hitler and several other high-ranking Nazi officials fled Germany and settled in South America, where for the most part many lived out the rest of their lives in anonymity.
While there is no denying that many high ranking Nazi officials did settle in Argentina, the theory about Hitler being one of them has been the subject of much debate and speculation over the years. With some historians dismissing it as a conspiracy theory while others argue that there is compelling evidence to support it.
In this episode, we'll delve into the details of this theory, examine the evidence that has been put forward, and explore the possible reasons why Hitler would have chosen to flee to Argentina with the researcher and author who is credited with uncovering a lot of this evidence back in the 1980’s, Harry Cooper.
We talk about his research and interviews into the Hitler's escape that has now extended decades in the making with people who claim they were there when this happened.

The Vietnam War with US special forces member Denis Harahan.
We decided on making this episode one. A deep first hand insight to the Vietnam War with former US special forces veteran Denis Harahan. Ture to the format, we bumped into Denis and his story was largely unknown until now.
The audio quality wasn’t perfect, the structure a little all over the place but the story was powerful.
As the Vietnam veterans start to reach an age where we may lose their stories. I’m extremely thankful and proud we got this one down on tape. A first hand account of the war with US special forces officer of the Vietnam war. The Vietnam War was a long, costly and controversial conflict. A disproportionately high amount of young men were forced to in to a war that would forever change their lives. The war went on to become a key part of 1960’s and 1970’s culture.
This episode is a first hand insight in to the war with a retired US special forces officer.
