A Wilder Life

What if the foods you trust most are the very things sabotaging your health? In this riveting episode, Eric Edmeades breaks down the lies we’ve been sold—and the truth about reclaiming our well-being. In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses the dangerous myth of "everything in moderation," how modern food systems have hijacked our biology, and the profound consequences of straying from our evolutionary diet. Drawing on stories from the wild, shocking medical insights, and his own healing journey, Eric exposes why human-fed beings—ourselves, our kids, pets, and livestock—are among the sickest on Earth, and what we can do to turn the tide. Key Takeaways: → “Everything in moderation” is a cultural trap leading to chronic poor health. → Food became toxic when it became a product for profit, not nourishment. → Every species has a specific diet; humans are no exception. → The modern health crisis is not your fault—it’s the system’s, and shame won’t solve it. → True health transformation comes from shifting your relationship with food, not from restriction or calorie counting.

If you’ve been eating clean, following all the health advice, and still feel inflamed, exhausted, or ignored by doctors- this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about your body. In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses how parasites, candida, mold, and modern toxins might be the hidden culprits behind chronic illness. Kim Rogers, known as the "Worm Queen," shares her powerful journey from near-death to radical health transformation- and why parasite cleansing may be the missing link in Western health. Key Takeaways: → Parasites can contribute to chronic illness, brain fog, and fatigue without showing up in standard tests. → Modern lifestyles make us ideal hosts for parasites by disrupting natural metabolic cycles. → Anti-parasitic foods and herbs can prevent and manage infections naturally. → Many cultures still cleanse for parasites regularly- unlike in Western medicine. → True healing often begins by reclaiming sovereignty over your own body and lifestyle. Quotes from Kim Rogers: "I almost died in 2019- and parasites were one of the biggest root causes." "Candida is a parasite. It's feeding off you, fermenting in your body- and most people don’t even know it." "Modern life has made it safer for parasites. We’ve lost the natural rhythms that used to keep them in check." About Kim Rogers: Kim Rogers is a former medical academic and curriculum designer turned holistic health advocate known as “The Worm Queen.” After surviving over a decade of chronic illness, 13 surgeries, and misdiagnoses, she uncovered parasites and environmental toxins as key root causes of her health collapse. Now the founder of RogersHood Apothecary and host of What’s Eating U?, Kim educates millions on parasite cleansing, detox, and restoring health through natural means.

What if your brain fog, ADHD symptoms, or vision decline weren’t inevitable—but reversible with the right kind of eye-brain training? In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses how modern screen use, sedentary lifestyles, and even childhood education systems are damaging our vision—and how that damage affects mental clarity, emotional regulation, and long-term health. Neuro-optometrist Dr. Bryce Appelbaum reveals why 20/20 vision isn’t the real goal, and how retraining the way we see the world can radically improve focus, performance, and quality of life. Key Takeaways: → Vision is more than seeing clearly—it's about how the brain processes and responds to the world. → Most people suffer from avoidable or reversible functional vision issues due to modern lifestyles. → “Eye push-ups” and vision training can delay or reverse the need for reading glasses. → Kids are often misdiagnosed with ADHD or dyslexia when the root issue is visual processing. → Expanding peripheral awareness reduces stress and enhances performance in sports, speaking, and daily life. Quotes from Dr. Bryce Appelbaum: ● “When vision gets locked up, so too does thinking and behavior.” ● “So much of what we label as learning or attention disorders are actually hidden vision problems.” ● “Vision is the dominant sense for guiding performance, and we’re just starting to understand how to train it.” About Dr. Bryce Appelbaum: Dr. Bryce Appelbaum is a pioneering neuro-optometrist and founder of VisionFirst, with a mission to change the way the world sees. He’s known for helping professional athletes recover from concussions, children regain focus, and adults reverse screen-related vision decline.

What if the future of health, family, and success isn’t about choosing between tradition and technology—but integrating both to build a wildly better life? In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses how a once-315-pound entrepreneur and his health-obsessed partner turned their personal health crises into powerful family transformations, award-winning documentaries, and a bold rethinking of what it means to truly thrive in the modern world. Together, they challenge the biohacking status quo, call out the flaws in traditional education, and share the essential mindset shift every health seeker needs to make.

Quotes from Anthony Lolli: "To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Everyone in the health space thinks their tool is the answer—but you’ve got to do the work and figure out what really works for you." "Self-help books don’t help if you can’t help yourself. I needed a coach to break through—and most people do." "If you want to be a pro at health, just like a pro athlete, you need a pro coach. One size does not fit all." Quotes from TereZa Lolli: "They told me our son had autism. But after nine misdiagnoses, we found out it was mold and glyphosate. You have to become your own health detective." "Biohacking is only powerful when it's personalized. Your DNA, your toxins, your protocols—it has to be built for you." "I grew up in Armenia with no screen time and no doctors. That childhood taught me creativity, discipline, and self-trust—and that’s what I want for my kids." About Anthony and TereZa Lolli: Anthony and TereZa Lolli are media entrepreneurs and health revolutionaries behind a growing collection of life-changing documentaries, including From Fat Lolli to Six Pack Lolli, S.H.I.E.L.D., and Biohack Yourself.

What if emotional safety—not discipline—is the real foundation of powerful parenting? In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses how parenting, emotional resilience, and childhood trauma shape the adults we become. Joined by children’s author and emotional healing expert Angela Legh, they explore how to raise emotionally intelligent kids, close the “hindsight window” on pain, and even find gratitude for life’s hardest moments.

Key Takeaways: → How kids interpret parental sarcasm and shame—and why it matters. → Why vulnerability and authenticity build stronger parent-child bonds. → How to shorten the emotional "hindsight window" after trauma. → What soul contracts reveal about our relationships and healing journeys. → Why teaching emotional resilience is the best gift we can give our kids. Quotes from Angela Legh: "Anytime you point your finger in blame, you’re giving your power away." "An emotion isn’t negative or positive—it’s energy. How you deal with it can be." "Your child chose you and their other parent for a reason. Their soul came here to grow." About Angela Legh: Angela Legh is a transformational children’s author and emotional wellness educator. Best known for the Bella Santini Chronicles, she helps kids and parents alike build emotional resilience through storytelling and spiritual tools.

In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses the mechanics of perception, the biology of fear, and how we can reclaim control over our responses in the modern world.

Can trauma be resolved in just one session—and are we mistaking emotional overwhelm for mental health progress?In Part 2 of Eric's interview with Dr. Christine Gibson, they dive deep into the evolving landscape of trauma, emotional regulation, and the societal systems that are unintentionally keeping us stuck. From navigating the influence of media-driven fear to redefining what mental resilience looks like in modern times, this conversation challenges conventional thinking and offers grounded, transformative tools for change.Key Takeaways:→ We may be safer than ever, yet more traumatized—media-driven fear may be rewiring our nervous systems.→ Modern trauma often stems not from immediate danger but from chronic exposure to perceived threats and disconnection.→ Secondary gain and societal rewards may inadvertently encourage people to remain in states of trauma or dysfunction.→ Techniques like EFT, brainspotting, and perspective shifting offer accessible, fast-acting tools for self-regulation.→ Dissolving ego and enhancing mental flexibility may be more vital than simply seeking safety.Quotes from Dr. Christine Gibson:● “The opposite of trauma isn’t safety. It’s having choice—mental flexibility in how we respond.”● “We’ve taught people it’s okay to feel at a 10 out of 10 all the time, but we forgot to teach them how to turn the volume down.”● “Trauma therapy isn’t just about finding the moment of trauma. It’s what you do after that makes the difference.” About Dr. Christine Gibson:Dr. Christine Gibson is a trauma physician, author, and educator with 25 years of experience in medicine and a deep commitment to equity and transdisciplinary solutions. She’s the author of The Modern Trauma Toolkit, founder of Safer Spaces Training, and a pioneering voice in bridging ancient healing with contemporary mental health strategies.
