The Dr. Josh Axe Show

Most of what we’ve been told about health is a lie, and it’s keeping us sick, dependent, and disconnected. In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe sits down with author and cultural voice Will Witt to expose the myths of modern medicine, the truth about raw milk, chemical-free living, and why real health requires personal sovereignty and biblical purpose. You’ll hear Will’s radical health journey—from battling gout to building a clean marketplace, and discover how living outside the system may be the key to freedom and vitality.
