Beyond The Pain

Welcome back to the Radical Health Rebel Podcast! Today, I’m joined by Phil Escott, author of Arthritis: The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me. Phil's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Once crippled by psoriatic arthritis, he endured years of pain and frustration trying to find answers through conventional medicine and various dietary approaches, including vegetarianism and veganism, which only made his condition worse.But Phil discovered a path to healing through a radical shift in his diet to purely grass-fed red meats, transforming his health and life in the process. In this episode, we delve deep into what psoriatic arthritis is, the challenges Phil faced on his journey, and the surprising role diet plays in managing this autoimmune condition.We’ll also uncover some subtle but significant factors that contribute to chronic illness, including unresolved emotions, trauma, and even environmental influences like EMF pollution. Get ready for an eye-opening conversation that challenges conventional thinking and offers hope for anyone struggling with chronic health issues.We discussed:0:00Challenge Conventional Thinking on Health4:53Journey to Health and Carnivory11:56Natural Healing Through Diet and Lifestyle24:55Medical Training and Patient Advocacy30:04Uncovering Truths in Medical System40:44Understanding Pain as a Messenger52:00Healing Through Simple Lifestyle Changes1:05:31Navigating Dietary Beliefs and Healing1:17:50Exploring Emotional Causes of Physical Symptoms1:29:04Carnivore Diet and Gut Health1:36:38Confidence in Natural Healing MethodsYou can find Phil @:For up to date info, free e-book, Zoom Q&A calls and more, sign up to his Substack: https://philescott.substack.com   All other links including personal consultations, The Big Fat Challenge, courses, books, Red Pill Buddhas podcast, YouTube channel, Facebook groups etc at Phil’s Linktree:https://linktr.ee/philescottSend us a textSupport the showDon't forget to leave a Rating for the podcast!You can find Leigh @: Leigh's website - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/ Chronic Pain Breakthrough Blueprint - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/ Leigh's courses: StickAbility - https://stickabilitycourse.com/ Mastering Client Transformation (professional course) - https://www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/mastering-client-transformation/

Mercury toxicity from dental fillings left our guest, Martin Patella, grappling with a series of health challenges that conventional medicine couldn't solve. On the Radical Health Rebel podcast, Martin illuminates his transformative journey from Czechoslovakia to becoming a health advocate and the founder of Life Enthusiast, a platform dedicated to tackling chronic degenerative and inflammatory diseases. He shares how seeking the root causes of health issues, rather than simply treating symptoms, led him to explore the interplay between mindset, electromagnetic fields, heavy metals, and geoengineering in our overall well-being.Join our conversation as we unravel the intricate connections between gut health, long-term antibiotic use, and metal fillings, and how these elements can lead to persistent health imbalances. Martin and I investigate the detrimental impact of chlorinated water, antibiotics, and glyphosate-infused agricultural practices on personal and environmental health. We delve into the potential benefits of zeolite and humic acid for detoxifying the body and fostering a flourishing gut microbiome, underscoring the importance of tailoring dietary choices to individual health needs and metabolic types.In this episode, we emphasize the power of prevention and the significance of nurturing the body's inner terrain to naturally fend off health invaders. Drawing from Taoist philosophy, Martin advocates for a nutritional approach that avoids temporary pharmaceutical fixes and focuses on managing stress and emotional states through understanding one's metabolic and blood types. We round off our discussion by considering the broader societal influences on health, stressing the need for regular detoxification and empowerment amidst environmental and societal challenges.We discussed:0:00Uncovering Fungal and Parasite Overgrowth10:05Healing Terrain20:50Optimal Gut Health Strategies30:25Nutritional Choices for Optimal Health43:28Healing Trauma and Subconscious Programming52:03Detoxification and Nutrition for Health1:01:39Agricultural and Environmental Concerns1:09:15Parasites, Toxins, and Health Strategies1:23:10Promoting Individual Freedom and EmpowermentYou can find Martin @:Martin’s Website: https://www.life-enthusiast.comFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/LifeEnthusiastContactInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifeenthusiast15/X: https://x.com/lifentcoYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/lifentco Send us a textSupport the showDon't forget to leave a Rating for the podcast!You can find Leigh @: Leigh's website - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/ Chronic Pain Breakthrough Blueprint - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/ Leigh's courses: StickAbility - https://stickabilitycourse.com/ Mastering Client Transformation (professional course) - https://www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/mastering-client-transformation/

This week, I’m thrilled to bring you a powerful and eye-opening conversation with the amazing Briana Banos—a talented documentary maker and passionate advocate for TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal). We’re diving into the devastating impacts of this iatrogenic condition, caused by the overuse or overprescription of topical steroids, often given for atopic dermatitis, or eczema. As someone who dealt with eczema myself in my early twenties—and briefly used topical steroids—I’m fortunate that I never suffered myself. In addition, I’ve had friends and family members struggle with eczema and even TSW. So, when I came across Briana’s first documentary, *Preventable*, on social media, I knew I had to learn more.The documentary lays bare the seriousness of TSW and shines a light on a heartbreaking reality: many sufferers are gaslit by the very healthcare professionals who prescribed these treatments in the first place. Left without support, they’re forced to navigate lives filled with pain, frustration, and despair, often feeling like their condition isn’t taken seriously. Since recording this episode, I’ve also watched Briana’s follow-up documentary, *Still Preventable*, which is equally—if not more—powerful than the original. Both films are deeply moving, and they expose a critical issue that’s been ignored by much of the medical community for far too long, despite clear evidence of its existence. Briana’s relentless campaign to raise awareness and improve the lives of TSW sufferers is nothing short of inspiring. It was an honor to sit down with her and do my part to support this crucial movement. This episode is a must-listen, so settle in and join us for an important conversation that could change how you see eczema, topical steroids, and the healthcare system itself.We discussed:0:00Impact of Steroid Withdrawal10:24Challenges of Topical Steroid Withdrawal18:58Mental Toll of Skin Conditions23:20Holistic Healing for Eczema Relief27:30Long-Term Challenges of Steroid Withdrawal44:20Journey to Healing Eczema Relief1:00:54Medical Education and Health Costs1:14:39Advocating for Topical Steroid Withdrawal1:21:17Support and Advocacy in HealthYou can find Briana @:https://brianabanos.com/Preventable: Protecting Our Largest OrganStill Preventable: TSW Documentary YouTube ChannelInstagramSend us a textSupport the showDon't forget to leave a Rating for the podcast!You can find Leigh @: Leigh's website - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/ Chronic Pain Breakthrough Blueprint - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/ Leigh's courses: StickAbility - https://stickabilitycourse.com/ Mastering Client Transformation (professional course) - https://www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.com/mastering-client-transformation/
