We are more toxic than any generation before us. 287 chemicals found in the umbilical cord blood of newborns. Microplastics in the brain. Heavy metals in arterial plaque. Glyphosate, mycotoxins, petrochemicals. The body was designed to handle toxicity, but not at this level. Jeff Hoyt has spent years in the trenches of functional medicine, biohacking, and detoxification, and what he discovered changed everything he thought he knew about helping people heal. The answer wasn’t more technology. It wasn’t more chelation. It was a naturally occurring mineral called zeolite that works with the body instead of against it. In this conversation, Jeff and Dr. Ben cover why so many people get stuck even when they’re doing everything right, how toxic elements get locked in tissue and why the body refuses to let them go, what detox reactions are actually telling you, the difference between binding agents and chelators and why it matters, and the specific protocol Jeff recommends for ZeoCharge based on years of case study data. If you’ve been an A or B student on your health journey and still feel like something’s holding you back, this one might be the missing piece. Find ZeoCharge at ZeoliteLabs.com.

The most nutrient dense foods on the planet aren’t new. They’re not in a lab or a supplement bottle. They’re the parts of the animal your grandparents ate and your generation threw away. Chef James Barry spent over 20 years cooking for Tom Cruise, George Clooney, and some of Hollywood’s biggest names before realizing he was meant to feed the other 99%. That calling led him to create Pluck, an organ meat seasoning that makes it easy to get beef liver, heart, kidney, spleen, and pancreas into your daily meals without even thinking about it. In this episode, James and Dr. Ben break down why organ meats are nature’s true multivitamin, how the modern food system turned us into isolate chasers, the difference between eating whole food nutrition and chasing the magic pill, and practical tips for getting back in the kitchen without the overwhelm. Everything your body needs to thrive is already in the design. We just stopped trusting it. Find Pluck at eatpluck.com and locally at The Merc in Downtown Lubbock.

Renewal season is coming. And if your health insurance costs went up again this year, you already know something has to change. Josh Hilgers, founder of Flourish XV and a Veritas Wellness member, joins Dr. Ben to pull back the curtain on the health insurance industry and lay out a better path forward. From why hospital consolidation is driving 40% of rising costs, to how healthcare sharing ministries can cut your premium by 40 to 60%, to the level funded and self funded models most people have never heard of, Josh breaks it all down in plain language. This conversation is for individuals, families, small businesses, churches, and nonprofits who are tired of sending more money every year to a system that was never built to make them well. There is a more excellent way to steward those dollars and it starts with knowing your options.

After a season of exposing corruption in medicine, government, and finance, Dr. Ben takes a step back and asks the bigger question: if we can't trust those systems, who can we trust? That's where Mark Virkler comes in. Mark has spent decades teaching people how to hear the voice of God, and in this conversation he joins Dr. Ben to explore one of the most foundational questions in the Christian walk: does God still speak today? Because if healing is in the atonement, and the kingdom is available now, and we're called to walk by the Spirit rather than by the carnal five senses, then hearing His voice isn't a bonus feature. It's everything. My sheep hear my voice. This episode is about learning to actually do that.

What if there is no law requiring you to file and pay federal income tax? Not a conspiracy theory. Not a loophole. The actual law, word for word. Christopher Hughes, author of Legal Non-Taxpayer, joins Dr. Ben to walk through the constitutional argument that has never been refuted, never been rebutted, and never once resulted in a client being levied, fined, or penalized. From the Jekyll Island meeting of 1913 to the IRS special agent who spent two years looking for the law and came up empty, this conversation exposes the wordsmithing behind the entire federal income tax system. If you've ever wanted to understand what you actually signed when you filed a 1040, this is the episode. Not financial or legal advice. Just the truth, documented from the Constitution, the tax code, and Supreme Court decisions.

What happens when a journalist follows the corruption all the way to the foundation? In this episode of You're the Cure, Dr. Ben sits down with investigative journalist, constitutional advocate, and host of Steel News, Ann Vandersteel. Ann has spent years on the front lines of some of the most important stories of our time including government overreach, child trafficking through the CPS system, election integrity, financial corruption, and the steady erosion of the constitutional republic our founding fathers built. Her work has cost her platforms, accounts, and more. She kept going anyway. In this conversation, Ann and Dr. Ben trace the architecture of control from the Jekyll Island meeting that secretly created the Federal Reserve in 1913, to the 16th Amendment that forced both parents into the workforce, to the way admiralty law and corporate contracts have quietly replaced common law in courtrooms across the country. They discuss how agencies like the IRS, FDA, CDC, and CPS are incorporated entities with Dun and Bradstreet numbers operating under commerce law rather than the law of the land, how surveillance systems including flock cameras, body cams, and data centers are being woven into a digital control grid, and why the solution is not political but spiritual. This episode is not meant to cause fear. It is meant to shine the light of truth so you stop putting your hope in systems that were never designed to protect you.

In this eye opening episode of You're the Cure, Dr. Ben sits down with Randy Conway, poet, author, and contributor to the book Solutions for the End Times and one of the voices behind C2K Report, the Clash of Two Kingdoms. Randy has spent years researching the systems of this world and how they operate in direct opposition to the Kingdom of God. This is not a comfortable episode. But it is an important one. Randy and Dr. Ben break down how the medical system destroys health, the justice system destroys justice, the education system destroys knowledge, the government system destroys freedom, the media destroys information, the banking system destroys the economy, and how all of it traces back to a much older story. They walk through the Organic Act of 1871, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, a chilling private quote from Colonel Edward Mandel House to President Woodrow Wilson about registering Americans as biological property, and the Banker's Manifesto of 1892 that laid out a plan to keep the people divided and under control through partisan politics. But this episode is not about fear. It is about identity. It is about understanding who you are as an ambassador of the Kingdom of God, what it means to truly come out of Babylon, and why creation itself is waiting on the sons of God to step into that reality.

What if the way you think about God is literally changing the structure of your brain? In this episode of You're the Cure, Dr. Ben sits down with psychiatrist, author, and kingdom thinker Dr. Timothy Jennings, MD to explore one of the most profound intersections of neuroscience and biblical truth we have ever covered on this show. Dr. Jennings, author of The God Shaped Brain, breaks down how our thoughts, beliefs, and the lies we believe are not just spiritual issues but structural ones. Every choice we make encodes into the deepest substructures of our neurons, literally changing the resonant frequency our brains operate on. When we believe lies, especially lies about who God is, it shifts us from a spirit of love and trust into a spirit of fear and survival. And that shift has cascading consequences on every area of our health and our lives. In this episode you will learn how sin is better understood as a violation of God's design laws rather than a legal infraction, why the wrong view of God can damage the part of your brain responsible for love and connection, how trauma, addiction, and negative thought patterns encode into the brain at a subcellular level, the role of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex in mental and spiritual health, and what it actually means to renew your mind in light of modern brain science. This one will change how you read Scripture and how you understand yourself. Check out all of Dr. Jennings' resources including a free 13-part seminar coming soon at https://comeandreason.com/

What if regenerative agriculture could actually produce more food than conventional farming, not less? In this episode of You're the Cure, Dr. Ben sits down with Allen Williams, sixth generation farmer, former tenured university professor with a PhD in genetics and physiology, and founder of Understanding Ag, the Soil Health Academy, and the brand new Libertas Land. Allen shares his remarkable journey of walking away from a tenured professorship after 15 years to return to farming full time, following a conviction that the research he was doing was nothing more than putting a band aid on a gushing wound. Since then he and his team have worked in all 50 states, 45 plus countries across six continents, and have impacted more than 50 million acres transitioning into regenerative agriculture. The conversation covers some truly eye opening ground. Allen breaks down why the fear that we cannot feed the world without conventional agriculture is simply not true, sharing that regenerative farms are producing 4 to 11 times more food per acre than neighboring conventional farms. He also reveals that the world already produces enough food to feed 12 to 14 billion people and that hunger is a distribution and waste problem, not a production problem. From the spiritual parallels between soil health and human health, to the biblical patriarchs and their massive livestock herds, to the exciting launch of Libertas University in 2027, the first ever fully immersive regenerative agriculture university, this episode is packed with hope, truth, and a kingdom vision for the future of food and farming. Allen and Dr. Ben also discuss the upcoming inaugural conference at Etta Hills Farm on October 8th and 9th in South Haven, Mississippi, an event designed not just for farmers but for everyone who eats and cares about the health of this creation. Registration is now open so sign up at https://ettahillsfarm.com/pages/conference

What if the same principles that govern human health also govern the health of the soil? In this episode of You're the Cure, Dr. Ben sits down with John Kempf, founder of Advancing EcoAgriculture and host of the number one earth sciences podcast in America, the Regenerative Agriculture Podcast, for one of the most fascinating conversations we have ever had on this show. John grew up on a family vegetable farm in Ohio where three consecutive years of catastrophic crop loss sent him searching for answers. What he found completely changed the way he understood plants, soil, and life itself. He shares how a stark dividing line in a cantaloupe field revealed that plants grown in healthy soil had zero powdery mildew while neighboring plants in pesticide treated soil had 80% infection. Same seeds. Same field. Completely different outcomes. From there the conversation goes deep into plant immune systems, quorum sensing in soil microbiomes, the mycorrhizal wood wide web, and the stunning research showing that plants not only communicate with each other but actually respond to human intentions. John also unpacks a Hebrew translation from the book of Job that connects ancient scripture directly to the science of minerals and microbes in the soil. This episode draws a clear parallel between the prescribing cascade in medicine and the pesticide cascade in agriculture, and offers a hopeful, kingdom centered vision for what it looks like to be true stewards of the land God designed.

Every system seems to be under scrutiny lately — medical, financial, political. This week, Dr. Ben Edwards turns to one that's often overlooked: education. And this time, it's a good news story. Sarah Byers never planned to open a school. But a thought she couldn't shake — paired with a season of watching her son struggle to connect what he saw with what it meant — turned into Legacy Cornerstone Academy, a new Lubbock school built around a simple question: what if we helped kids become who God created them to be, instead of just moving them through a grade level? Joining Sarah is Cassidy Luna, nurse practitioner at Veritas Medical and founder of Resilient Beginnings, who's spent years studying the difference between the brain and the mind — and why so many kids get labeled ADHD or dyslexic when the real issue is a missed developmental milestone. Cassidy breaks down primitive reflexes, why visualization is the highest form of childhood development, and how movement, not medication, often unlocks a child's ability to learn. Together, Sarah and Cassidy walk through what a day at Legacy looks like, how classical curriculum and developmental therapy work side by side, and why removing comparison and labels changes everything for kids — and their confidence. If you've ever wondered whether there's a better way to raise and educate kids, this conversation will give you real hope — and real answers. Enrollment for Legacy Cornerstone Academy is open now at legacycornerstoneacademy.com. Learn more about Resilient Beginnings at resilientbeginning.com.

Dr. Ben Edwards welcomes back Abraham John for a deep dive into what he calls the defining question of our time: what does God's original design for government actually look like, and why has every human system, from Eden to now, fallen short? Abraham unpacks why only two governments have ever existed from Genesis to Revelation, why government itself is a spiritual entity, and how the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil represent two entirely different operating systems for humanity. He traces the three great rejections of God: Adam's choice, Israel's demand for a king, and the crowd's choice of Barabbas over Jesus, and explains why God doesn't override our choices, even now. This conversation reframes Genesis 1-3 not as a creation story but as God's architectural blueprint for life, family, health, and government. Abraham explains why Jesus never came to reform Rome or any political system, why "repent" (metanoia) means going beyond our current mindset rather than feeling guilty, and why real healing, whether national, cultural, or personal, has to start inside the individual human heart before it can show up anywhere else. If you've felt the world waking up but haven't heard real solutions, this episode points back to the beginning: God's original intent, and why that's where freedom actually lives.

This week on You're the Cure, Dr. Ben welcomes back Leif Hetland for a deep dive into his book Called To Reign. Leif unpacks his "three chairs" framework: Chair One (identity in Christ, rooted in love), Chair Two (the orphan spirit, living for approval instead of from it), and Chair Three (the world). He shows how easily believers slide from resting in sonship into striving, fear, and performance without even noticing. They talk about why intimacy with the Father, not information or willpower, is what actually keeps us anchored in Chair One, and how fatigue, unmet expectations, and constant news cycles quietly drain the "emotional tank" that leaves the door open for fear. Leif shares stories from Nigeria, Pakistan, and his own health struggles that show what it looks like to receive identity, intimacy, and inheritance before ever stepping into destiny, and why trying to skip straight to "doing" is exactly backwards. If you've ever felt like you're squeezing out the wrong thing under pressure, this conversation is an invitation to trade striving for rest, and pressure for the Father's pleasure. Get Leif's book, Called To Reign, at globalmissionawareness.com or wherever books are sold.

What if disease isn't a mutation but a signal your body stopped receiving? Jamie Winship returns to You're the Cure to unpack his new book, The War of Worldviews, and it starts with a declassified CIA document that reframes what your thoughts are actually doing to your cells. Dr. Ben and Jamie trace the two worldviews that have shaped humanity since Genesis: Empire (separation, scarcity, control) and Kingdom (connection, mystery, true identity), and why most of us are unknowingly stuck operating from the wrong one. They get into why knowing who you are matters more than fixing what you do, the six stages of empire collapse and where the U.S. sits on that timeline right now, and how small, connected communities (not politics) are what actually turn a culture around. If Living Fearless changed how you saw yourself, this one goes even deeper. Visit https://www.identityexchange.com/ to learn more about Jamie's work and free resources.

Janet Newberry joins Dr. Ben Edwards to share what happened when she and her husband Doug went through Veritas Wellness's 90-Day Reset, and how it uncovered something deeper than diet and movement. Janet had known her identity in Christ for years, yet still carried chronic tension, high blood pressure, and fear around her own health. Through the reset, she discovered that true beliefs need the right environment to take root: as she puts it, "knowing you are a beloved child of God while living in a closed system is like knowing you are a salmon while living in a parking lot." Janet traces her story from a fear-based religious upbringing and her mother's struggle with mental illness, through a hospitalization for a perforated appendix, to finally seeing normal blood pressure readings for the first time in her adult life. Along the way, she and Ben unpack the parallel between inflamed cholesterol and inflamed hearts, why "receiving" is the hardest word for most people to practice, and how the same principles that heal bodies can heal families, marriages, and even how we tell our financial stories. It's a conversation about safety, peace, and what it actually takes for truth to flourish. Registration for the next 90-Day Reset is now open.
