UAPs, Whistleblowers, and Government Credibility

What does it actually mean to be wild in the modern world—and why does it matter so much for our health, identity, and sense of belonging? In this episode, I explore those questions and more with Daniel Vitalis, host of the TV series WildFed and a lifelong advocate for reconnecting with nature through food, place, and embodied experience.

We dive deep into what wildness really is—not as a romantic ideal, but as a lived, practical relationship with the natural world. Daniel shares how wild foods offer more than just nutrition; they provide feedback, resilience, and a kind of intelligence that modern systems have largely stripped away. We talk about how convenience culture has distanced us from our instincts, our land base, and even our own hunger cues, and why reclaiming these relationships is essential for both personal and ecological health.

This conversation also weaves through nervous system regulation, ancestral skills, and the quiet confidence that comes from direct experience—whether that’s foraging, hunting, or simply learning to trust your own perception again. Daniel reflects on the responsibility that comes with sourcing food from the wild, the ethics of reciprocity, and how participation in nature changes the way we see ourselves as humans.

If you’ve felt a pull toward something more grounded, more honest, and more alive—this episode is an invitation to listen to that signal. It’s a reminder that wildness isn’t something we’ve lost; it’s something we can remember, one relationship at a time.
