BEN HUNT & PHIL ESCOTT: CARNIVORE DIET: EP. 179
BEN HUNT has always been fascinated with the question of how humans can live healthy, happy, and rewarding lives. That curiosity, combined with a healthy distrust of anything mainstream has led him to explore a wide range of subjects spanning everything from biohacking to food and farming to ethics and spirituality. In addition to his main roles as a writer and a coach, Ben is also a smallholder, graphic designer, didgeridoo maker, bushcraft instructor, and chess player. Health/lifestyle consultant, eight-year carnivore and drummer PHIL ESCOTT got chronically ill as a vegetarian, and his body revolted with psoriatic arthritis and other autoimmune conditions in 2010, leaving him unable to move without severe pain, let alone drum or exercise, and he had to throw out all his existing “expertise” and start from scratch. Phil’s eventual combination of a carnivore diet with EMF and artificial light avoidance, cold thermogenesis and a range of other health enhancing practices reversed the “incurable” diseases that he suffered from. His book “Arthritis, The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me” gained a foreword by Dr. Jack Kruse and has become an Amazon Kindle bestseller and is now available in print. Phil talks from personal experience about contemporary lifestyle and diet choices, disconnects from our ancestral heritage, emotional balancing and the simple but often misunderstood nature of spiritual awakening. He now consults with clients worldwide helping them to reverse their metabolic and autoimmune issues.

VONY EICHEL: A REASON TO CARRY ON: EP. 176
As an exercise therapist teaching classes for psychiatric offenders,VONY EICHEL met Henry, an arsonist and psychopath. The catalyst to Vony’s enlightenment. This is the powerful true story that is her new book "A Reason to Carry On." Vony is an incredibly engaging author with unique life-changing experiences and a message of hope for us all. Alone in a room with a paedophile, a rapist, robbers, arsonists, burglars and assorted violent criminals, I couldn’t see or feel evil. Instead, I saw ignorant, love-deprived victims: simple men of simple needs unable to help themselves or allow others to help them. Most had given up: hope had long been forgotten. Many people struggle with daily life, asking themselves, what’s the point of it all? How can they find meaning and joy in what they do? Religion, Spirituality and Mysticism all need to be explored to arrive at the answer.
