There's a version of health optimization that's making people more anxious, more neurotic, and less resilient, and almost no one in the space is willing to call it out.

The holistic health space has a problem, and Ste Lane is one of the few people naming it. He's a coach, homesteader, and host of Radical Health Radio. His lens on ancestral health, masculinity, and human vitality is shaped by everything from cage fighting in England to raising kids on the land in Tennessee.

Ste and I have been orbiting each other's worlds for years, and this conversation is the first time we’ve been able to sit down and dig in.

A lot gets covered, but the real thread underneath is this: most people are outsourcing their health to protocols, supplements, peptides, and fear-based content, and it's making them weaker, not stronger. Ste has strong things to say about why the vaccine was never actually forced, why orthorexia is subtly wrecking people, and what the wellness industry keeps getting wrong about resilience.

We also get into his four-truths framework, what real success looks like, and why the emotional and spiritual side of health matters more than the biohacks.

The global reset is coming, and we need to get prepared.

Gregg Braden is a five-time New York Times best-selling author, scientist, and pioneer in the emerging paradigm bridging science, social policy, and human potential.

From 1979 to 1991, Gregg worked as a problem solver during times of crisis for Fortune 500 companies, including Martin Marietta (now Lockheed Martin) where he worked as a Senior Computer Systems Designer, and Cisco Systems, where he became the first Technical Operations Manager in 1991.

He continues problem-solving today, and his research resulted in the 2003 discovery of intelligent information coded into the human genome and the 2010 application of fractal time to predict future occurrences of past events.

Gregg’s work has led to 18 film credits, 13 award-winning books now published in over 40 languages, and he was a 2020 nominee for the prestigious Templeton Prize established by Sir John Templeton to honor “outstanding individuals who have devoted their talents to expanding our vision of human purpose and ultimate reality.”

He has presented his discoveries in 34 countries on six continents, and has been invited to speak to the United Nations, Fortune 500 companies, and the U.S. military.

His newest book, Pure Human, is a direct response to what he sees as a narrowing window to protect what makes us human before it gets outsourced to computer chips, nano sensors, and brain computer interfaces.

Our conversation covers the science of DNA as a fractal antenna, why merging with tech is devolution and not evolution, and the alignment ancient artifacts pointed toward the late 2029 to 2030 window.

Gregg also opens up about the Knights Templar roots of American sovereignty, the disclosure hearings, and why localized community is the middle ground most people will end up choosing.

If you sense the reset is real but haven't found language for what's actually being reset, start here.

[0:00] Introduction
[7:48] How the Knights Templar, the Magna Carta, and Freemasons shaped America's founding
[19:41] Ancient tablets, a 2030 planetary alignment, and the tech-merger agenda all point to the same reset window
[31:04] Your DNA functions as a fractal antenna tuned to divinity
[43:25] Why the human body already outperforms computer chips
[53:57] What John Mack's abductee research revealed about our future timeline
[1:02:22] Information silos are weaponising the differences at your own dinner table
[1:09:08] Localised living emerges as the middle ground between all-in tech and total rejection
[1:16:16] The six corporations pushing the technocracy and what disclosure really threatens

Most people think they go to sleep to wind down, but Derek Lacey says sleep is when your life force expresses itself the most.

Derek is a sleep facilitator and the founder of The Art of Falling Asleep. His work reframes insomnia, dreaming, and even the purpose of sleep itself.

He spent years rotating through Ambien, Xanax, NyQuil, and Dramamine. He even went camping with no technology and still could not sleep for two nights in a row. Then in 2015, something shifted, and it had nothing to do with magnesium, blackout curtains, or any other protocol.

Our conversation moves into territory I have not heard another sleep expert touch on: why the mind is not the brain, why determination to fall asleep is often the thing keeping you awake, and how Derek believes the purpose of life is to sleep.

For anyone doing all the holistic things and still struggling, or waking up groggy after a full night, the framework here is worth sitting with. The five touchstones near the end are the practical piece.

You'll Learn:

[0:00] Introduction
[13:42] When you’re doing everything right for sleep, but still wide awake
[25:13] Belief-based inquiry that cracked open 15 years of insomnia
[37:24] TALFA and the light switch wiring that mirrors divine electricity
[45:10] The mind isn't the brain: it borrows energy from the body
[54:05] MAP: a real-time way to catch meaning-making and projection
[1:21:25] The morning download that reframed the entire purpose of life
[1:44:26] The five touchstones, and why you sit in a chair before bed
[2:19:52] Sleep apnea as a protective mechanism, not just a mechanical issue
[2:22:24] Disrupted co-sleeping nights and the energy you unknowingly set
[2:28:27] Why you wake up groggy no matter what you try

The cause of mineral deficiency is not what most “mineral experts” say it is.

Mineral deficiency may be the most overlooked driver of fatigue, poor sleep, cramping, anxiety, and burnout in modern life, and almost no practitioner is talking about it at the cellular level.

Caroline Alan is the co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, and her background reads like a survival story before it ever became a science one.

After flatlined adrenals, periodontal disease, recurring infections, and years of insomnia, minerals were the one thing that changed everything for her. From there, she went deep into microbiology, cellular biology, and soil science to understand why.

The conversation moves through humic and fulvic molecules, how glyphosate breaks down the gut lining, why salt-based electrolytes can wreck an athlete's ecosystem, and what real hydration actually requires.

Caroline also shares a moment in the desert that pulled her into this work. It's not the kind of origin story you'd expect from someone with a corporate tech background, and it's part of why this conversation lands the way it does.

You'll Learn:

[0:00] Introduction
[0:13:44] 98% of people are mineral deficient, and the hidden hunger driving it
[0:20:32] Glyphosate mimics glycine to hijack your gut and chelate copper from your system
[0:25:57] The God molecule: humic and fulvic, and the difference they make inside your cells
[0:35:35] Salt-based electrolytes are trashing athletes' gut microbiomes; here's the science
[0:42:27] Real hydration explained, and the mineral-stripping problem with reverse osmosis water
[0:50:30] Magnesium for sleep addresses symptoms without solving the root mineral depletion
[1:05:53] Fulvic as a nutrient delivery system: how it enters cells and clears biological waste
[1:17:19] The 1941 origins of recommended daily allowances, and what they were never designed to do
[1:34:19] Zeolites and short-term detox protocols versus continuous cellular mineral maintenance
[1:46:10] Replenishing versus supplementing, and the fundamental difference between them
